Thanks for starting a SAIC topic. There is a lot going on with SAIC and the New Chinees Rover. When I haven news I will post it directly.

SAIC has completed a pounds 1.2 billiorestructuring that has turned it into China's largest domesticallylisted carmaker.

Under a plaunveiled in July, Shanghai Automotive Industries Corporatio-the company makes new versions of the Rover 75 - transferred key operations to its Shanghai Automotive subsidiary iexchange for about pounds 547 million-worth of new shares ithe unit, securing a fund-raising channel to aid the group's global expansion.

Shanghai Auto now has a market value of about pounds 1.53 billion, based on Tuesday's closing share price, making it one of the 20 most heavily capitalised companies othe Chinese stock markets.

The restructuring significantly increases Shanghai Auto's net asset value and profits, the company said. Assets injected include stakes iventures with General Motors and VW.

welcome to chinacarforums,

Erik may be able to help you in this area

I don't beleive Saic owns any part of Chery anymore. I beleive they sold it during the lawsuits with GM. That's what I read anyway.

You are right Rise, SAIC did sell its 20% stake in Chery.
It bought the stake in 2001, but when the GM-Chery issue arose over the legal rights to the QQ design, it realized there was a conflict of interest. Favoring its GM partner, it sold its stake in 2003.
