Ouch.
NYSE rules require listed companies, such as GM, in general to obtain shareholder approval before issuing new shares that exceed 20% of their outstanding shares.
It is not clear to me how this plan is legal under the NYSE rule if they do this without putting it to a vote of existing shareholders.
Signed,
Barack Obama, CEO
GM
