Summary
DETROIT -- Billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian went ahead Monday with an offer to buy up to 28 million GM shares -- a bid that would roughly double his stake in the automaker -- despite last week's downgrade of GM debt to "junk" status. Shares of the world's largest automaker rose slightly.
Kerkorian's investment firm, Tracinda Corp., is offering nearly $870 million, or $31 per share, according to documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. If all 28 million shares are purchased, Kerkorian would own 8.84 percent of GM's shares, or a total of 50 million.See the full content of this document
