Both companies will have 15% of the exercisable voting rights, another gain for Nissan. According to Reuters, Renault CEO Luca de Meo said the French carmaker can now operate like a normal company with a more straightforward governance scheme. It will regain strategic agility without breaking the existing ties between partners. Renault and Nissan intend to enter into a new alliance agreement by the end of March this year. As part of the alliance restructuring, Nissan plans to become a strategic investor of Ampere and hold 15% of its shares. Makoto Uchida, Nissan's CEO, said at the press meeting that Ampere would enable Nissan to access new opportunities in Europe. No further details were disclosed on this collaboration. Takao Kato, Mitsubishi's CEO, also said the company will consider investing in the EV unit.
