Renault announced in a statement that was made public on Tuesday that it would sell a portion of its about five percent share in Nissan, a Japanese automobile manufacturer, “as part of a wider rebalancing of the two companies’ long-standing alliance.”
In accordance with Renault, the transaction is scheduled to take place on Wednesday as a component of Nissan’s share repurchase programme, which was previously revealed. The implementation of the repurchase programme is something that is scheduled to take place.
After several months of discussions, Renault and Nissan were finally able to reach a consensus about the terms of reorganising their alliance at the end of the month of July. The purpose of the rearrangement was to create a partnership that was more feasible and adaptable, albeit on a smaller scale.

Nissan is now owned by Renault, which is 28.4% of the corporation, despite the fact that Renault made a commitment earlier this year to drastically cut its stock in the company. Following the completion of the agreement, the two automobile manufacturers will each keep fifteen percent ownership in the other.
According to the current price of Nissan shares, the French business came to the conclusion on Tuesday that the first share disposal is worth 765 million euros, which is equivalent to $824.29 million United States dollars.
Depending on the specifics of the deal, Renault would be required to disclose a capital loss on disposal of up to 1.5 billion euros in its annual financial report. This loss would be recorded separately from the company’s operational income.
According to a different statement made public by the company, Nissan made the decision “in line with Nissan’s commitment to enhancing shareholder returns and capital efficiency.”
