GM readies market return after blockbuster IPO

Saturday, 20 November 2010


LONDON, Nov 19 (Reuters): General Motors (GM) Co prepared for a dramatic return to the stock market Thursday with what is set to become the world's largest initial public offering, less than a year and a half after emerging from bankruptcy.
GM shares (GM.N) GMM.TO were set to begin trading on the New York and Toronto stock exchanges, capping the first stage of a turnaround that has taken the 102-year-old automaker from near-death in 2008, via a 2009 bailout, to unlikely Wall Street flotation favourite in 2010.
