Shareholders of Mitsubishi Motors Corp. approved a plan Tuesday to have on the company's board of directors three people appointed by DaimlerChrysler AG, which is to become Mitsubishi Motors' main shareholder.

The three are Steven A. Torok, Ulrich Walker and Manfred Bischoff, according to a Mitsubishi official.

Mitsubishi Motors Corp. shareholders were holding their first meeting since the company announced in March that German-U.S. automaker DaimlerChrysler will buy a 34 percent equity stake in the firm as part of a business collaboration deal.
