F1’s Ecclestone Joins Genii Capital in Bid for Saab
Formula One tycoon Bernie Ecclestone and partner Genii Capital emerged as a rival to Dutch super-car maker Spyker Cars NV in making last-ditch efforts to buy General Motors Co.’s Saab unit.
Genii Capital, the Luxembourg-based private-equity firm that agreed to acquire a majority stake in Renault SA’s F1 team last month, is offering cash for Saab, said Lars Carlstroem, the Swedish investor who is working with Genii. Spyker put in a revised offer before a 5 p.m. deadline in New York yesterday, Chief Executive Officer Victor Muller said.
Forbes’ 2009 list estimates Ecclestone and his family’s net worth at $3.7 billion. After two attempts to sell the 72- year-old Saab brand failed in the past two months, GM CEO Ed Whitacre said Jan. 6 that the Detroit carmaker was proceeding with a decision to close Saab and that no qualified buyer had emerged.
“It’s a good brand that has probably been neglected by the current owners,” Ecclestone, 79, said in a phone interview. “We don’t own it yet, so let’s see what happens.”
Коротко: на данный момент существуют два предложения о покупке Сааба – от Спайкера и от Берни Экклстоуна совместно с люксембургской фирмой Genii Capital.
В интервью Берни сказал "Это хороший бренд, который, возможно, был заброшен нынешними хозяевами. Пока что он не наш, но еще не вечер."
