Nissan will pay $15 million, while Ghosn agreed to a $1-million civil penalty and a 10-year bar as serving as an officer or director of a publicly traded US company, the SEC statement said.
Former Nissan human resources official Gregory Kelly agreed to a $100,000 penalty and a five-year officer and director bar. Nissan, Ghosn, and Kelly settled without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations and findings.
