GM unlikely to strike crucial deal with bondholders

GM unlikely to strike crucial deal with bondholders
Holders of $27 billion in bonds have until the end of the day to swap at least $24 billion for a 10% share in GM, and all indications are that the vast majority of them are unwilling to accept the deal. With just hours remaining before a key deadline, General Motors Corp. seems unlikely to succeed in striking deals to cut 90% of its debt, which it must do to avoid bankruptcy.


UAW trust to get large chunk of GM shares

The GM logo is seen outside the automaker’s headquarters in downtown Detroit. This make-or-break week is expected to bring more plant closures, employee concessions and other last-minute efforts as the automaker tries to restructure. GM will give UAW 17.5 percent of its common stock, $6.5 billion of preferred shares and a $2.5 billion note to fund a trust that will take over retiree health care costs starting next year.
