Saab Story Continues Thanks to Spyker

Spyker Cars N.V. has finalized the deal with General Motors to purchase Saab Automobile AB. Saab Automobile and Spyker Cars will operate as sister companies under the umbrella of the Amsterdam Euronext listed parent company Spyker Cars N.V. (Ticker symbol: SPYKR).  This transaction secures the future of Saab Automobile. 

Jan Ake Jonsson, CEO of Saab Automobile AB said:  "Today's announcement is great for Saab's customers, dealers, suppliers and employees around the globe, the level of passion and support shown to Saab over recent months has been remarkable and this does bode well for the future.  Now we aim to get back to the execution of our business plan, starting with the introduction of the new 9-5 later this year, and with the continued support of our employees and business partners I am confident we will succeed."
