FRANKFURT (Reuters) -- DaimlerChrysler's supervisory board has approved the sale of a majority stake in the Chrysler group to private equity group Cerberus Capital Management, the carmaker said today.

Company officials had said when the $7.45 billion (5.5 billion euro) deal was announced on Monday that board approval was a formality because labor representatives on the board had already expressed their support for the transaction.
