GM to swap debt for stock to avert bankruptcy
General Motors proposes a debt-for-stock plan to retire about 27 billion in unsecured debt and exchange half of a 20 billion government loan for equity. The move, plus seeking stock for part of a retiree fund payment, aims to give GM breathing room and avoid bankruptcy while restructuring operations. Investors would trade unsecured debt for common stock, shifting risk from creditors to shareholders.
