General Motors ha decidido iniciar el proceso de cierre ordenado de Saab, para ello ha elegido a AlixParnters como supervisor del proceso y ha solicitado la autorización a las autoridades suecas.
El grupo estadounidense asegura de nuevo, que en caso de que el cierre se produzca, se respetarán las garantías y se garantizarán los repuestos.
A pesar de iniciar este proceso, General Motors comenta que sigue evaluando las ofertas de compra de Saab.
Nota de prensa de GM USA:
GM today confirmed it has selected AlixPartners to supervise the orderly wind down of Saab, and has requested approval of the selection by the appropriate authority in Sweden. The use of a wind down supervisor is a commonly-used process in Sweden and works in the interest of the shareholder.
The wind down process is expected to take several months, and will ensure that employees, dealers and suppliers are adequately protected. As stated previously, Saab customers can be assured that warranties will continue to be honored and that service and spare parts will continue to be available.
GM also confirmed that it has received several proposals for Saab and is continuing to evaluate these proposals. This evaluation is not affected by the appointment of AlixPartners.
