Renault board to meet, as CEO denounces potential exit as ‘coup’
PARIS, Oct 10 (Reuters) – Renault SA's CEO, Thierry Bollore, denounced as a “coup” his potential exit from the French carmaker, which has called a board meeting on Friday to discuss governance matters.
Bollore also told Les Echos newspaper on Thursday he was appealing to the key Renault shareholder, the French state, to avoid destabilising the company.
“The brutality and the totally unexpected character of what is happening are stupefying … This coup de force is very worrying,” Bollore said.
Earlier, Bollore had skirted the matter of his potential exit from the firm in a conversation with staff on Thursday, two company sources said.
A source close to the French government – a major Renault shareholder – earlier this week confirmed that a senior management shake-up at Renault was on the cards.
Le Figaro newspaper reported that Chairman Jean-Dominique Senard was poised to kick off a process to replace Bollore.
The French finance ministry expressed its support of Senard on Thursday..

The car industry, Britain's biggest exporter of goods, is concerned that World Trade Organisation tariffs of 10% on vehicles alongside new customs checks and delays could halt production if there is a disorderly Brexit on Oct. 31.
“That will represent a significant cost increase on our vehicles that will have to face the competition in Europe and they won't be affordable,” the firm's European Chairman Gianluca de Ficchy told reporters.
“If there will be a no-deal and a no-deal will be associated with WTO tariffs application, that won't be sustainable ..
