The Swedish government has suspended trading of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/spyker\/\">Spyker<\/a> shares, which we&#8217;re told usually happens before a big announcement is made. We&#8217;re also hearing reports that Swedish news channels are quoting Spyker chief Victor Muller as saying an announcement will definitely be made later today. <\/p>\n<p>From what we can gather, the deal on the table is that Spyker will give current owner <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/gm\/\">General Motors<\/a> $75 million while allowing the U.S. automaker to retain $100 million in Saab liquidity. GM will also reportedly get $325 million in preferred shares of Spyker-owned Saab.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of what&#8217;s announced, we&#8217;re hoping this circus comes to an end soon. That probably won&#8217;t happen. If the Spyker deal doesn&#8217;t happen, the Genii group led by Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone will bid for the Swedish luxury brand again, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saabsunited.com\/2010\/01\/saab-sale-updates.html\">according to reports<\/a>, despite having <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whatcar.com\/car-news\/ecclestone-withdraws-saab-bid\/246992\">withdrawn its bid<\/a> on Monday. <\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned, as one way or another we&#8217;ll have news concerning Saab&#8217;s future later today.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/News\/NewsArticle\/AllCars\/247004\/\">Autocar<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whatcar.com\/car-news\/ecclestone-withdraws-saab-bid\/246992\">WhatCar?<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saabsunited.com\/\">SaabsUnited<\/a> | Image: David McNew\/Getty]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/26\/report-sweden-suspends-spyker-share-trading-saab-deal-may-be-a\/\">Report: Sweden suspends Spyker share trading, Saab deal may be announced later today<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 26 Jan 2010 10:40:00 EST.
