Today the bankruptcy administrators handed in the assessment of the Saab bankrupotcy estate to the Vänarsborg Distriuct Court. Local Trollhättan newspaper TTELA has skimmed through the assessment and here is what they write.
According to the assessment, the estates assets are valued to SEK 3.6 billion. Saab's assets are bank deposits, accounts receivable, tools, cars, parts, components, materials, shares in subsidiaries and intellectual property right. The value of the intellectual property right is however affected by agreements with General Motors and Chinese Bejing Automotive.
The debt of the estate has been calculated to SEK 13 billion. In addition to this, General Motors (GM) has SEK 2.2 billion outstanding due to the preference shares GM had in Saab. So in total you can say that the debt is actually SEK 15.2 billion.
Saab's debt concerning their emplyees amount to SEK 1.4 billion. Of this SEK 870 million concern the salaries paid by the Swedish state during the reconstruction and the bankruptcy (under the wage guarantee scheme). In addition, the employees themselves have SEK 513 million outstanding from Saab.
"Those who were employeed by Saab Automolbile AB can not expect to receive any payment," the administrators says in the document. But the former employees of Saab Automobile Powertrain AB can "expect payment to a some degree".
Sweden's National Debt Office (NDO) is also a large creditor with SEK 2.2 billion outstanding after the NDO paid back Saab's loan in the European Investment Bank. The NDO can expect to be fully paid.
The forementioned debt amounts to SEK 3.6 billion, which means that Saab owes other creditors SEK 9.4 billion. Other creditors cover suppliers, subcontractors, property owners, municipalities, etc etc.
