General Motors Announces Preliminary Agreement To Sell HUMMER
Deal could secure more than 3,000 jobs in the United States; preserves HUMMER as global off-road brand
DETROIT - General Motors Corp. (NYSE: GM), announced it has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a buyer for HUMMER, its premium off-road brand. This transaction is the result of GM's strategic review of the HUMMER brand and the company's ongoing restructuring efforts.
