This is the first time Nissan has revealed details of the so-called Restated Alliance Master Agreement, though Renault has previously disclosed elements. Their relationship has been a source of tension in Japan where it is widely seen as unequal.

The filing showed Nissan is allowed to acquire an additional stake in Renault if the French automaker makes a shareholder proposal that Nissan`s board does not support.

The Japanese automaker can also increase its stake if Renault does not support its proposal for a Nissan board member selection, the filing showed.

Thursday`s disclosure came after a shareholder proposal to make the alliance agreement public was voted down at Nissan`s annual general meeting this week.

Nissan said it would disclose the agreement by Thursday to the extent it did not violate confidentiality obligations.

Shares of Nissan were down 2.8% at 533.5 yen, underperforming the Nikkei 225 average, which was down 1.3%.
