“It’s time to accelerate the shift to zero-emission mobility by working together with all parties concerned,” said then Alliance Chairman Carlos Ghosn in 2015.
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today held an extraordinary meeting of its board of directors, at which it decided to hold another extraordinary meeting of shareholders in April limited to the following aims: 1) Discharge of directors Carlos Ghosn and Greg Kelly; 2) appointment of Renault Chairman Jean-Dominique Senard as director.
The Nissan move follows a Renault’s Board of Directors meeting on January 24, 2019 at 10 a.m. under the chairmanship of Philippe Lagayette, Lead Independent Director with the resignation of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn. The Board then changed Renault’s new governance structure separating the functions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.
The new Chairman of Renault’s Board of Directors – Jean-Dominique Senard -will be the main contact for Nissan and Mitsubishi, the Alliance partners, for any discussion on the Alliance’s organization and evolution. The new Chief Executive Officer – Thierry Bolloré – will coordinate for the company the Alliance’s activities in the operational field under the authority of the Chairman.
Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi is today the world’s largest automotive partnership, with combined sales of more than 10.6 million vehicles in calendar year 2017.
At Nissan, nominations of all Nissan directors are to be submitted for approval at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for June, after review of proposals from the Special Committee for Improving Governance.
