S.Korea KDB says to support Ssangyong Motor
Reuters - Tuesday, January 6
SEOUL, Jan 5 will help cash-strapped Ssangyong Motor Co <003620.KS> if its top shareholder SAIC Motor Corp <600104.SS> supports the South Korean SUV maker, the state-run bank's head said on Monday.
SAIC, which owns a 51 percent stake in Ssangyong, will announce its plan to help return Ssangyong to a healthy position on Thursday, Ssangyong said in a statement.
"As a state-run bank we will support Ssangyong in any form," KDB chief executive Min Euoo-sung told reporters.
Min did not elaborate, but called for China's SAIC Motor Corp <600104.SS>, Ssangyong's top shareholder, to "serve its role."
SAIC had injected $45 million at the end of December last year to Ssangyong, said the maker of Rexton sport utility vehicles .
Shares in Ssangyong jumped 14.57 percent to end at 1,140 won, far outperforming a 1.40 percent rise in South Korea's main exchange <.KS11>.
Earlier, SAIC said it had provided 25.9 billion won ($19.9 million) to Ssangyong as part of funds the company has allocated to help the SUV maker develop new products.
But a Ssangyong spokesman declined to comment if the 25.9 billion won was part of the $45 million allocated earlier.
Both SAIC and its South Korean unit have been actively seeking support for the unit from the South Korean government and banks.
They are also discussing with union representatives how to cut the South Korean firm's labour costs. (Reporting by Cheon Jong-woo in Seoul, Fang Yan in Shanghai; Editing by )
