Renault plans to sell a 5% stake in Nissan Motor back to the Japanese carmaker for up to 765 million euros ($823.6 million).

The French company said Tuesday that the sale of the Nissan shares could result in a capital loss of up to EUR1.5 billion which would hit net profit in its own accounts. This is the maximum amount and could be adjusted at year-end, Renault said.

Renault's estimates for the value of the sale and its expected impact assume 211 million Nissan shares are sold at a share price of 568.5 Japanese yen ($3.89),it said.

Renault said the 5% stake in Nissan it is selling back to its Japanese partner is part of a 28.4% stake it transferred to a French trust last month. The sale will be implemented as part of a Nissan share buyback, Renault said.
