Yokohama (dpa) - The Japanese car maker Nissan, like its French partner Renault, has sold its remaining Daimler shares.
Nissan announced on Wednesday in Yokohama that 16.4 million shares had been given to professional investors at € 69.85 each.
The Japanese have pocketed 1.15 billion euros for the package, which comprises 1.54 percent of the total Daimler shares.
Nissan wants to invest the money in business, including in building electric drives.
The industrial partnership with Daimler itself continues and will not be affected by the sale of the shares, it said.
Renault had thrown its Daimler shares - also around 1.54 percent of the total capital - on the market in March.
For several years now, the DAX group has had a partnership with the Renault-Nissan alliance for the joint construction of engines.
The Daimler share had ended Xetra trading the evening before at 72.41 euros.
