The offer also provides a $60 million (USD) loan to be collateralized by a first lien on certain assets of Saab Automobile as well as a second lien on the collateral as pledged to NDO. Saab and North Street Capital intend to finalize the documentation for the loan by Monday, Oct. 24. Funding is set to arrive within two days of that date.
