Summary · why it matters

Nissan Motor Co. shareholders voted to reject the reappointment of outside director Motoo Nagai at the company's annual meeting on Tuesday, ending his tenure after key stakeholder Renault SA abstained from supporting him. Chief Executive Officer Ivan Espinosa announced that 11 other directors received the majority needed for appointment or reappointment. Renault, which holds 15% of voting rights, had concerns about Nagai's independence given his long association with Nissan, including his role in the 2018 ouster of former Chairman Carlos Ghosn and his service on the nomination, compensation, and audit committees. New nominee Junichi Shinbo, also a former Mizuho banker, was voted in, though Renault had planned to abstain on his appointment as well. The ouster marks Renault's biggest power move at Nissan since ceding much of its influence in a 2023 alliance rebalancing, while Nissan continues to struggle with a 44% stock decline since the end of 2023 and net losses over the past two fiscal years.
