General Motors agreed last night to sell its Saab Automobile brand to the Dutch car-maker Spyker after more than 12 months of trying to offload the Swedish marque. Spyker, a company that was liquidated in the 1920s only to be reborn as a luxury sports car specialist in 2000, said it would pay GM $74m in cash and $326m in deferred shares for Saab. Spyker only joined the bidding last month, but a sale was already looking so unlikely that within weeks GM began to wind the company down, including its factory at Trolltattan. It suspended the shutdown yesterday. Under the agreement, Spyker will form a new company – Saab Spyker Automobiles – to take over the brand. Saab Automobile is seeking to borrow €400m ($564m) from the European Investment Bank, a loan that Sweden said yesterday it would guarantee. If all goes to plan, the deal will be done by the middle of next month. The purchase will transform Spyker, which currently employs 110 people and produces between 30 and 50 cars per year, each selling for about £150,000. Saab employs 3,400 workers and, although its sales dropped by half last year, it still built 24,000 cars. After Spyker's first offer, GM said before Christmas that Saab had no future. Within three weeks there were three new bids: one from Spyker; a pitch from the Formula One tycoon Bernie Ecclestone and Genii Capital, and one from a Swedish consortium. Reuse content

Američki automobilski div General Motors priopćio je da je postigao obvezujući sporazum o prodaji europskog dijela poslovanja Saaba nizozemskom proizvođaču luksuznih automobila Spykeru U sklopu tog sporazuma Spyker će formirati novu tvrtku Saab Spyker Automobiles, koja će nositi Saabovo ime i otkloniti planiranu likvidaciju te kompanije. Time je prekinuta neizvjesnost oko sudbine tog švedskog proizvođača automobila i prigušena su strahovanja od gubitaka radnih mjesta u toj skandinavskoj zemlji. GM-ovi dužnosnici kazali su da će Spyker platiti 74 milijuna dolara u gotovini, a američka tvrtka će zadržati i povlaštene dionice Saaba s mogućnošću otkupa ukupne vrijednosti oko 326 milijuna dolara. Sporazum bi trebao biti zaključen do sredine veljače, priopćeno je iz GM-a, uz najavu obustave svih aktivnosti zatvaranja Saaba. Švedska vlada će transakciju poduprijeti jamstvom za 400 milijuna eura vrijedan kredit Europske investicijske banke Saabu, kazala je švedska ministrica za poduzetništvo Maud Olofsson. Saab je bio u vlasništvu GM-a dva desetljeća i u tom razdoblju rijetko je poslovao s dobiti. Prošle godine zabilježio je gubitak od tri milijarde kruna (241 milijun eura). - Sviđa vam se članak?
