Japan's Nissan Motor said on Tuesday it was selling its roughly 1.5% stake in German carmaker Daimler through an accelerated bookbuild offer, following a similar move by alliance partner Renault in March.
The French carmaker, with Nissan, exchanged stakes with Daimler a decade ago to strengthen their industrial partnerships.
Cooperation is continuing, Daimler and Renault said earlier this year, though people close to the matter said larger initial plans never materialised and the cross-shareholdings were no longer deemed necessary.
