　　通用汽车出售按揭业务部分股权 GM gets $9bn for 78% stake in commercial mortgage unit

　　通用汽车（GM）昨日敲定了与3家私人股本集团谈判1年之久的一宗交易，以90亿美元的价格出售其商业抵押贷款业务的部分股权，所售股权比例超过最初计划。

　　General Motors yesterday finalised a year-old deal with three private equity groups， raising $9bn by selling more of its commercial mortgage business than originally planned.

　　在投资者行使了先前未披露的选择权以增购18%股权后，通用汽车金融服务公司（GM Acceptance Corp）总共出售了商业抵押贷款部门78%的股权。通用汽车金融服务公司是这家陷入困境的美国汽车制造商的金融子公司。

　　GM Acceptance Corp， the finance arm of the troubled US carmaker， sold 78 per cent of the commercial mortgage division after investors exercised a previously undisclosed option to buy an extra 18 per cent.

　　在此笔交易完成前一天，通用汽车刚刚与德尔福（Delphi）和全美汽车工人联合会（UAW）就提前退休计划达成一致，可能将因此带来数十亿美元的遣散费支出。德尔福是通用汽车最大的零部件供应商。

　　The completion of the deal came a day after GM agreed on early retirement offers with Delphi， its biggest supplier， and the United Auto Workers union， which could cost the carmaker billions in severance payments.
