Nissan Motor Co. plans to hold an extraordinary board meeting as early as next week to discuss its top management after its alliance partner Renault SA appointed new leadership to replace Carlos Ghosn, sources said Friday.
Renault's newly elected chairman, Jean-Dominique Senard, is set to be chosen as a nominee for the Japanese carmaker's new board, for final approval by shareholders at an irregular meeting slated for mid-April.
Ghosn and his close aide Greg Kelly, who were arrested over alleged financial misconduct at Nissan, are expected to be officially removed as board members at the shareholders meeting. They have been stripped of their roles as chairman and representative director, respectively.
