GM moves to speed sale and exit from Chapter 11
GM seeks rapid downsizing after striking a memo of understanding to sell Hummer and receiving the first 300 million euro loan payout for Opel. The company aims to emerge leaner within 60 to 90 days, with plans to form a restructured entity in which the U.S. government holds a 60 percent stake and bondholders and union receive chunks of the New GM.
