对于很多想知道自己的股票还值多少钱的通用汽车(General Motors Corp.)个人股东来说，答案看起来非常凄惨。华盛顿Baker Hostetler LLP合伙人重组业务负责人沃克曼(Donald Workman)说，在破产分配中，普通股股东通常会被排除在外。他们是优先级最低的，排在债券持有者和优先股股东之后。沃克曼说，大部分情况下，股东们什么也拿不到。通用汽车的破产申请中说，公司有1,720亿美元的负债和820亿美元的资产。他说，对股东来说没什么价值。通用汽车周一历史性的破产申请使之成为涉及资产规模第二大的工业破产案，仅次于2002年WorldCom的破产，为这家具有象征意义的美国汽车生产商的鸿篇巨制划上了句号。根据政府的计划，新通用10%的股权将由现有债券持有者所有，17.5% 由全美汽车工人联合会(UAW)的一只医疗基金所有，12.5%由加拿大政府所有，60%由美国政府所有。奥巴马总统称美国政府是通用汽车一个“不情愿的”股东。美国财政部也在向债券所有者提供担保，允许他们在债券换股票得到10%的股权的基础上，再买进至多15%的新通用股权。财政部发言人证实说，根据这样的分配，旧通用的股东不会获得新通用的股份。通用汽车发言人在电子邮件中拒绝置评，只是说普通股通常会在公司破产程序中损失剩余的价值。波士顿金融咨询公司Mayflower Advisors执行合伙人格莱泽(Lawrence Glazer)说，通用汽车现有股票不太可能在破产期间保留任何价值。他说，对很多投资者来说，这些股票作为税损的价值将高于作为股票投资的价值。以致于如果以后股市上涨，投资者可以用在通用汽车的投资“对冲”未来的上涨。在周二开盘前，纽约证券交易所暂停通用汽车现有股票和其他10只相关股票的交易。从市场开盘时起，通用汽车股票以新的股票代码GMGMQ开始在场外交易。代码中的“Q”表示公司牵涉进破产程序。场外交易粉单市场（Pink OTC Markets Inc.）首席执行长库尔森(Cromwell Coulson)说，在破产计划被法官确认之前，该股将继续在场外交易。该股于周二下午4点报于每股0.61美元。他说，在破产法官确认计划之后，该股将被取消，股票代码将作废。他说，在计划确认之前，破产公司的股价通常会波动。库尔森说，通用汽车股东周二抛售股票，而买家可能包括预测计划确认前股价会上升的投机者，或补空仓的卖空者。从6月8日起，通用汽车将被从道琼斯工业股票平均价格指数成份股中剔除，此前该公司作为成份股已有80多年的历史。技术公司思科系统(Cisco Systems Inc.)将取代通用汽车成为新的成份股。Annelena Lobb相关阅读通用汽车破产料将对日本汽车生产商有利 2009-06-03通用汽车称有16家潜在买家表示有意收购土星品牌 2009-06-03四川腾中重工将收购通用汽车的悍马子公司 2009-06-03通用汽车计划保留中国及巴西子公司 2009-06-03通用汽车兴衰史 2009-06-02 本文涉及股票或公司document.write (truthmeter('2009年06月03日14:31', 'GM'));General Motors Co.总部地点：美国上市地点：纽约证交所股票代码：GM
For the many individual General Motors Corp. shareholders wondering what their stock is still worth, the answer looks pretty bleak.In a bankruptcy distribution, common shareholders are typically wiped out, says Donald Workman, a partner and the head of the restructuring practice at Baker Hostetler LLP in Washington. They are the lowest priority, behind holders of debt and preferred stock.'In most cases, shareholders get nothing,' Mr. Workman says. GM's filing said it has $172 billion in debt and $82 billion in assets. 'There's no value there for equity holders.'GM's historic bankruptcy filing on Monday made it the second-largest industrial bankruptcy by asset size, behind WorldCom in 2002, and closed a lengthy chapter for the iconic U.S. auto maker.The government's plan calls for 10% of the new GM to be owned by existing bondholders, 17.5% to be owned by a United Auto Workers union health-care fund, 12.5% to be owned by the Canadian government, and 60% to be owned by the U.S. President Barack Obama has called the U.S. a 'reluctant' shareholder in GM.The U.S. Treasury is also offering bondholders warrants that would allow them to buy up to 15% of the new GM's equity, on top of the 10% they would get for exchanging their bonds for stock.Under that distribution, shareholders in the old GM wouldn't receive shares of the new GM, a Treasury spokeswoman confirmed.In an email, a GM spokeswoman declined to comment, other than to say that common equity generally loses its remaining value in corporate bankruptcy proceedings.Existing GM shares are 'unlikely to retain any value during this bankruptcy,' says Lawrence Glazer, managing partner at Mayflower Advisors in Boston. 'For many investors, they will have more value as a tax loss than as an equity investment. To the extent that we have some gains in the market going forward, investors could use their GM investment against their future gains.'Before Tuesday's open, the New York Stock Exchange suspended trading in existing GM shares and 10 related securities. GM shares began trading on the pink sheets as of the market open, under a new ticker symbol, GMGMQ. The Q indicates that the company is involved in bankruptcy proceedings.Shares will continue to trade on the pink sheets until the bankruptcy plan is confirmed by a judge, says Cromwell Coulson, chief executive of Pink OTC Markets Inc. GMGMQ traded at about 61 cents a share as of 4 p.m. Tuesday.After a bankruptcy judge confirms the plan, 'the shares will be canceled, and the symbol revoked,' he says. Until that point, share prices for bankrupt companies typically fluctuate, he says. Tuesday, sellers of General Motors unloaded their shares, while buyers likely included speculators, who anticipate rising prices before the confirmation, or short sellers covering positions, Mr. Coulson says.As of June 8, GM will be removed from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, after more than 80 years as an index component. Technology firm Cisco Systems Inc. will replace GM.Annelena Lobb
