As part of the Rebalancing, Nissan, through Nissan Finance Co. Ltd. (NFC), will retain its 15 per cent shareholding in Renault.
Renault will transfer 28.4 per cent of its Nissan shares into a trust estate administered by a trustee governed by French law, where the entrusted shares will be voted neutrally, subject to limited exceptions.
Renault would continue to fully benefit from the economic rights from the entrusted shares until such shares are sold. Accordingly, Renault and Nissan will have a cross-shareholding of 15 per cent of the total issued share capital and freely exercisable voting rights in each other, i.e., both Renault and Nissan will hold 15 per cent shareholding in each other.
