Renault and Nissan complete agreements framing foundations of new chapter of Alliance
London, 08 November 2023, (Oilandgaspress) – New Alliance Agreement between Renault Group and Nissan comes today into force and replaces the former agreements governing the Alliance (namely, the Restated Alliance Master Agreement, the Alliance Equity Participation Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding of March 12, 2019).
As a result, Renault Group and Nissan now have a cross-shareholding of 15% with lock-up and standstill obligations.
Each of the partners is able to exercise the 15% voting rights attached to its own shareholding. The voting rights of Renault Group and Nissan are capped at 15% of the exercisable voting rights, and both companies are able to freely exercise their voting rights within such limit.
Renault has transferred 28.4% (out of 43.4%) of Nissan shares into a French trust, where the entrusted shares will be voted neutrally, subject to limited exceptions. Renault Group continues to fully benefit from the economic rights (dividends and proceeds of share sales) from the entrusted Nissan shares until such shares are sold. From now, Renault Group may instruct the trustee to sell the entrusted Nissan shares, but it has no obligation to do so within a specific pre-determined period of time. Renault Group has all flexibility to sell the Nissan shares held in the trust, within a coordinated and orderly process with Nissan, in which Nissan or a designated third party benefits from a right of first offer.
No impairment will be recorded in Renault Group’s financial statements as a result of the transfer by Renault Group of Nissan shares into the trust.
This next chapter of the Alliance will build on the foundations of the long-standing partnership and will maximize value creation for each Alliance member and lays the foundations for a new balanced, fair, and effective governance. The Alliance will continue to identify key projects across markets that aim to deliver win-win, large-scale and actionable benefits.
