(Agencies)
Updated: 2009-06-01 10:31 WASHINGTON -- General Motors Corp will file for bankruptcy protection on Monday to complete a restructuring within three months that will give US taxpayers a 60 percent stake for $50 billion in aid, an Obama administration official said on Sunday night.
Canada will loan GM $9.5 billion in return for about 12 percent equity. In exchange for concessions, a United Auto Workers retiree healthcare trust will own 17.5 percent equity and unsecured bondholders, 10 percent. The union and debtholders will also get warrants to buy more of GM. |
