The latest rumors have been that GM would file an S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a preparation for an IPO. And it could be that the company is looking to raise $12 billion to $16 billion.
While General Motors wouldn't say exactly when it plans to go public, CEO Ed Whitacre told reporters Thursday that the company plans to file IPO paperwork "in the near future" and plans to sell shares all at once, instead of in smaller chunks.
