Saab’s Deal with China’s Hawtai Motors Collapses, Future Once Again Uncertain


Another day, another deal gone sour for Saab and its parent company Spyker Cars N.V. Today, less than two weeks after Saab announced an agreement with China’s Hawtai Motor Group that would have invested €150 million (US$215 million) into the company in exchange for a 30% stake, Spyker said that the deal has fallen through raising new doubts about the Swedish brand’s future.
“Since it became clear that Hawtai was not able to obtain all the necessary consents, the parties were forced to terminate the agreement with Saab Automobile and Spyker with immediate effect,” Spyker said in a statement.
