GM asks Beijing Auto for enhanced offer for Opel
Published: 25 Jun 2009 21:54:24 PSTShanghai, June 25 (Gasgoo.com) Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co. (BAIC) discussed this week with General Motors Corp. about the possibility of buying GM's Opel unit, and was asked, among other investors, to hand in an improved offer for Opel, media reported.
GM executives in Europe met with representatives of Beijing Auto yesterday after the Chinese automaker expressed interest in Opel for a second time. The second approach described in more detail how Beijing Auto would structure a possible takeover, and GM decided it "warranted a response," Dow Jones said.
GM has asked investors to make improved offers for its European division, to rival the bid from Magna International Inc., the Financial Times reported. Beijing Auto expects to hand in an enhanced offer by the middle of July and Belgium-based financial investor RHJ International SA could also make a second offer.
