<li>Today, a Nikkei article suggested (after other media suggested last week) that <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/renault-sa" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:21536:1" rel="noopener">Renault SA (RNO FP)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/nissan-motor-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:72:1" rel="noopener">Nissan Motor (7201 JP)</a> have come to agreement about their new deal.</li>
<li>Post-Close, an announcement. Two striking things about this "agreement" a) it comes many months after they started negotiating, and b) we have few details, and c) we're missing a bit.</li>
<li>Renault agrees to cap voting rights in Nissan. Nissan agrees to invest in RNO's EV spinoff, and so far, they agree to strengthen the Alliance. What's missing is interesting/key.</li>
