Koenigsegg , which hopes to wrap up its purchase of Saab soon, says it won’t ask the Swedish government for any loan beyond the money it has been guaranteed by the European Investment Bank.
“They have presented us with a plan … we will look at it from our side and decide how credible it is,” State Secretary Joran Hagglund told Reuters in an interview. “As I understand it, they will present information on the matter in the coming days.”
Koenigsegg has reportedly secured an additional $420 million on top of the EIB loan. During and interview with Swedish radio, Hagglund did not reveal where that missing funding would come from. No new investors in Koenigsegg have been registered in Sweden – and the company lost the funding of its American investor, Mark Bishop.
The supercar maker says it hopes to have Saab acquired from current owner General Motors by the end of September.
