result, operating loss totaled ¥150.7 billion, which deteriorated by ¥110.2 billion from the prior fiscal year. This was
mainly due to a decrease in sales volume caused by the impact of COVID-19 and exchange rate fluctuations, despite
improvements in the quality of sales and reductions in fixed costs.
Net non-operating loss of ¥70.5 billion was recorded, deteriorated by ¥155.0 billion from the prior fiscal year. This
result was primarily due to the change from equity in earnings of affiliates to equity in losses of affiliates. Ordinary loss
of ¥221.2 billion was recorded, deteriorated by ¥265.2 billion from the prior fiscal year. Net special losses of ¥118.1
billion were recorded, improved by ¥498.9 billion from the prior fiscal year. Loss before income taxes of ¥339.3 billion

billion was recorded, improved by ¥222.5 billion from the prior fiscal year.
For fiscal year 2020, automotive free cash flow was ¥391.0 billion negative. However, the Group continues to maintain
healthy levels of cash in the automotive business and ended the period with an automotive net cash position of ¥636.0
billion.

4. Other Information
The former Representative Directors of the Company were indicted on suspicion of violating the Financial
Instruments and Exchange Act (charged with submitting false Securities Reports) and a former Representative
Director and Chairman was additionally indicted on suspicion of violating the Companies Act (charged with
aggravated breach of trust). In conjunction with these indictments, the Company itself was indicted on suspicion of
violating the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. The Company took this situation very seriously and formed
a Special Committee for Improving Governance (SCIG) consisting of several independent third parties and
independent Outside Directors of the Company. On March 27, 2019, Nissan’s board of directors received a report
from the SCIG that summarizes the committee’s proposals for governance improvements and recommends a
framework for the best governance as a foundation for Nissan business operations in the future. The Company has
made the transition to a three statutory committee format.
On September 9, 2019, the board of directors of the Company received a report from the Audit Committee on the
internal investigation into misconduct led by the Company’s former chairman and others. As stated in the timely
disclosure released on September 9, 2019 “Nissan board receives report on misconduct led by former chairman and
others”, the report confirmed specific instances of misconduct. Among these instances, Ghosn’s personal use of the
company’s assets and improper payments of financial “incentives” to Nissan distributors instructed by Ghosn are as
follows. Since September 9, 2019, there have been no changes made to the following contents at the time of
submission of this report. In the future, if significant progress occurs in the following contents, we will disclose in
accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
The report confirms that Ghosn used the company’s assets for personal benefit, including:
• purchase of residences for exclusive personal use in Beirut and Rio de Janeiro using roughly 27 million U.S.
dollars in investment funds from Zi-A Capital, a Nissan subsidiary established under the guise of investing in
promising technology start-ups, and further misuse of other company funds to purchase or rent additional
residences for personal use;
• payment of sums totaling more than 750,000 U.S. dollars to Ghosn’s sister on the basis of a fictitious consulting
contract, starting in 2003 and extending for over 10 years with no evidence of any services having been rendered;
• personal use of the corporate jets by Ghosn and members of his family;
• improper use of expenses toward family vacations and gifts of a personal nature;
• instruction of donations totaling more than 2 million U.S. dollars of company funds to universities in Ghosn’s
ancestral home country of Lebanon with no legitimate business purpose;
• transfer to Nissan in 2008 of foreign exchange swap contracts bearing unrealized losses of roughly 1.85 billion
yen, based on a deceptive explanation to the Company’s board regarding the nature of the transaction (in 2009,
the swap contracts were secretly transferred back to a company related to Ghosn after being flagged as improper
by Japan’s financial authorities);
• improper payments totaling roughly 7.8 million Euros to Ghosn from a joint venture established by Nissan and
MITSUBISHI MOTORS CORPORATION, paid from April 2018 onward under the pretext of a salary and an
employment contract with the joint venture, despite the fact that no contract had been approved by the joint
venture’s board of directors.
Ghosn instructed a Nissan subsidiary to make payments totaling 14.7 million U.S. dollars to a distributor managed
by an acquaintance outside Japan who had previously offered him personal financial support (a fact Ghosn withheld
from Nissan’s board of directors and the relevant departments within the company). Payments were made under the
pretext of covering expenses for special business projects and were approved through Nissan’s CEO Reserve, an
emergency budget over which only Ghosn and a selected few direct subordinates had approval authority.
Ghosn also instructed a Nissan subsidiary to make payments totaling 32 million U.S. dollars to a distributor outside
Japan, an employee of which transferred tens of millions of dollars to Ghosn and a company related to Ghosn (a fact
Ghosn withheld from Nissan’s board of directors and the relevant departments within the company). Payments were
made under the pretext of granting financial incentives to the distributor in question and were approved through the
CEO Reserve.
The Company has filed a provisional disposition order in the British Virgin Islands against Ghosn and related parties
for a luxury yacht and has filed a lawsuit based on the order seeking damages, etc. Also, on February 12, 2020, the
Company has filed a lawsuit against Carlos Ghosn in Japan, seeking recovery of damages. Going forward, the
Company will continue to take necessary measures based on the findings of the Company’s internal investigation,
including legal action to claim damages, in order to account for the responsibility of the former chairman and others.
