TOKYO, June 25 (Reuters) - Nissan Motor Co Ltd Chief Executive Hiroto Saikawa on Tuesday apologised to shareholders for the fallout of a scandal involving former Chairman Carlos Ghosn, which has rocked the automaker and clouded the outlook of its partnership with Renault SA .
"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the financial misconduct," he told a shareholders meeting, before he and the automaker's board members bowed deeply in unison.
Shareholders at Japan's second-biggest automaker were due to vote on a new governance structure and 11-member board, after the arrest last year of Ghosn over financial misconduct allegations - which he denies - revealed auditing weaknesses at the company.
