Note 3. Acquisition and Disposals of Businesses

Acquisition of Additional GM Korea Interests

In March 2011 we completed the acquisition of an additional 6.9% interest in GM Korea Company, formerly GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Co. (GM Korea) for a cash purchase price of $100 million. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction as we retain the controlling financial interest in GM Korea. As a result of this transaction we reduced our equity attributable to Noncontrolling interests by $134 million and our Accumulated other comprehensive income by $7 million, and increased our Capital surplus by $41 million. After completing this transaction, we now own 77.0% of the outstanding shares of GM Korea.

Saab Sale

In February 2010 we completed the sale of Saab Automobile AB (Saab) and in May 2010 we completed the sale of Saab Automobile GB to Spyker Cars NV. Of the negotiated cash purchase price of $74 million, we received $50 million at closing and received the remaining $24 million in July 2010. We also received preference shares in Saab with a face value of $326 million and an estimated fair value that is insignificant and received $114 million as repayment of the debtor-in-possession financing that we provided to Saab during 2009. In the three months ended March 31, 2010 we recorded a gain of $123 million in Interest income and other non-operating income, net.
