If you've been squirreling away your pennies in anticipation of General Motors' IPO, we've got news for you. The company released a statement this morning announcing that it has increased its stock price from $26 to $29 per share to $32 to $33 per share. Additionally, General Motors is now planning to offer 80 million shares worth of junior preferred stock at a combined value of $4 billion – up from the initial $3 billion. The news comes after Steven Rattner, the former auto advisor for the Obama Administration, said that he expected the stock to price above the range that the GM initially filed for.
With the new outlook, GM will likely raise a good deal more than the $10.95 billion the company stood to drum up at $30 per share. The automaker's stock is expected to price sometime today before public trading begins tomorrow. Hit the jump for the official press release.
