Nissan will pay $15 million and former chairman Carlos Ghosn will pay $1 million to settle allegations by U.S. regulators that they hid more than $140 million of Ghosn's retirement benefits from investors.
Ghosn, 65, is awaiting trial in
Japan on financial misconduct charges in a criminal case.
Ghosn, who led Nissan for two decades and rescued it from the brink of bankruptcy, was arrested by Japanese authorities in Tokyo and jailed four times since November.
