Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] |
Stockholders' Equity and Noncontrolling Interests | Stockholders' Equity and Noncontrolling Interests We had 2.0 billion shares of preferred stock and 5.0 billion shares of common stock authorized for issuance and 1.4 billion shares of common stock issued and outstanding at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. GM Cruise Preferred Shares In May 2019, GM Cruise Holdings LLC (GM Cruise Holdings), our subsidiary, entered into a Purchase Agreement with SoftBank Vision Fund (AIV M2), L.P. (The Vision Fund), General Motors Holdings LLC, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda), and certain other investors pursuant to which GM Cruise Holdings received $1.1 billion in exchange for issuing Class F Preferred Shares (GM Cruise Class F Preferred Shares), including $687 million from General Motors Holdings LLC, representing approximately 6.4% of the fully diluted equity of GM Cruise Holdings. In July 2019, regulatory approval was received resulting in an additional insignificant amount becoming due from The Vision Fund. All proceeds related to the GM Cruise Class F Preferred Shares are designated exclusively for working capital and general corporate purposes of GM Cruise. The GM Cruise Class F Preferred Shares participate pari passu with holders of GM Cruise Holdings common stock in any dividends declared. The GM Cruise Class F Preferred Shares have the right to vote on the election of one director, who is elected by the vote of a majority of the GM Cruise Holdings common stock and the GM Cruise Class F Preferred Shares. Prior to an initial public offering, the holders of GM Cruise Class F Preferred Shares are restricted from transferring the GM Cruise Class F Preferred Shares until May 7, 2023. The GM Cruise Class F Preferred Shares only convert into common stock of GM Cruise Holdings, at specified exchange ratios, upon occurrence of an initial public offering. No covenants or other events of default that can trigger redemption of the Class F Preferred Shares exist. The GM Cruise Class F Preferred Shares are entitled to receive the greater of their carrying value or a pro-rata share of any proceeds or distributions upon the occurrence of a merger, sale, liquidation, or dissolution of GM Cruise Holdings. The GM Cruise Class F Preferred Shares are classified as noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2019, external investors held 17.1% of the fully diluted equity in GM Cruise Holdings. In June 2018, GM Cruise Holdings issued $900 million of convertible preferred shares (GM Cruise Preferred Shares) to an affiliate of The Vision Fund which subsequently assigned such shares to The Vision Fund. Immediately prior to the issuance of the GM Cruise Preferred Shares, we invested $1.1 billion in GM Cruise Holdings. When GM Cruise's autonomous vehicles are ready for commercial deployment, The Vision Fund is obligated to purchase additional GM Cruise Preferred Shares for $1.35 billion. All proceeds are designated exclusively for working capital and general corporate purposes of GM Cruise. Dividends are cumulative and accrue at an annual rate of 7% and are payable quarterly in cash or in-kind, at GM Cruise's discretion. The GM Cruise Preferred Shares are also entitled to participate in GM Cruise dividends above a defined threshold. Prior to an initial public offering, The Vision Fund is restricted from transferring the GM Cruise Preferred Shares until June 28, 2025. The GM Cruise Preferred Shares are classified as noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated financial statements. GM Korea Preferred Shares In May 2018, the Korea Development Bank (KDB) agreed to purchase approximately $750 million of GM Korea’s Class B Preferred Shares from GM Korea (GM Korea Preferred Shares), $361 million of which was received in June 2018 with the remainder received in the three months ended December 31, 2018. Dividends on the GM Korea Preferred Shares are cumulative and accrue at an annual rate of 1%. GM Korea can call the preferred shares at their original issue price six years from the date of issuance and once called, the preferred shares can be converted into common shares of GM Korea at the option of the holder. The KDB investment can only be used for purposes of funding capital expenditures in GM Korea. The GM Korea Preferred Shares are classified as noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In conjunction with the GM Korea Preferred Share issuance we agreed to provide GM Korea future funding, if needed, not to exceed $2.8 billion through December 31, 2027, inclusive of $2.0 billion of planned capital expenditures through 2027.
