Yesterday it was reported that Saab was close to securing short- and medium-term funding. Today more information has emerged. According to Peter Hallberg, who is head of the Saab dealers' association, Saab is in discussions with a major and well-known financier.
"It is a major and well-known financier, and such a financier should not rush into this kind of discussion if a deal wasn't possible," Peter Hallberg told Swedish news agency TT.
Hallberg was given this information in a telephone meeting with Victor Muller yesterday.
"It is a major financier and what I know about them from earlier makes me believe this is serious."
Hallberg thinks that a possible reconstruction which has been mentioned as an option, is only a last resort.
"I understood after the meeting how important it is for Victor Muller that Saab settle the account with everybody it owes money," Hallberg said and continued saying that a reconstruction would also involve the Chinese partners as well as Vladimir Antonov, and that would not be the best basis for a continued cooperation with the Chinese and a discussion about a new ownership structure.
A blog fueled by enthusiasm about Saab, the greatest car company between the North and the South Pole. And their cars, which probably is the only cars that would start on a cold and crispy South Pole morning.
