What is section 363 and how is it being used to launch the New GM?
Section 363 permits a company in chapter 11 to sell assets and in some cases substantially all its assets. GM intends to use that ability to sell the strongest parts of its business to launch a new and successful enterprise. The purchaser’s business will be built upon only the strongest parts of our business – our employees; our best brands (Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC), and the plants and other hard assets that those brands rely on; the contracts we need to secure supplies and keep our business moving; and the equity we own in our domestic and global subsidiaries. The New GM will be led by GM’s current management team.
