Former Chairman Carlos Ghosn of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., who was the top management along with former Chairman Ghosn, appeared in the trial of former CEO Greg Kelly, who was accused of disclosing less compensation. He testified that he "thinks it is illegal" about how he decided to pay the club later.
Former Nissan representative director Greg Kelly, 64, was accused of colluding with former chairman Ghosn and disclosing less of the former chairman's compensation in a securities report. Then, on the 13th, former co-chairman Koeda, who served as top management along with former chairman Ghosn for five years from 2003, was called as a witness.
When the system for disclosing executive compensation was introduced in 2010, when former co-chairman Koeda served as a consultant, Ghosn's compensation was divided into those to be paid that year and those to be paid later. I think it's illegal for me, but some people were thinking about how to handle what I would pay later, and I was asked for their opinions. "
I didn't elaborate on how I came up with this method, saying "I don't remember."
In March 2011, I summarized three plans for how to pay unpaid compensation, went to former Chairman Ghosn with former COO Shiga, and testified that former Chairman Ghosn said "Thank you for your advice."
