Brock Fiduciary Services Authorizes Sale of 20 Million Shares of GM -- Part of 50 Million Share Offering Including U.S. Treasury

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jul 22, 2013) - Brock Fiduciary Services, as independent fiduciary and investment manager for the United Auto Workers Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (VEBA), authorized the sale of 20 million shares of General Motors' common stock. The transaction was part of a combined offering that included the sale of 30 million GM shares by the U.S. Treasury. Together, the total offering raised approximately $1.7 billion for the selling shareholders.

The value of the VEBA's portion of the sale was around $688 million. The Treasury Dept. sold GM shares that the government purchased in 2009 as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program's bailout of the U.S. auto sector. The June 6 offering coincided with GM's return listing on the S&P 500, after leaving the index in 2009 when the company declared bankruptcy. Treasury, which still owns nearly 14% of GM's common stock, has vowed to fully exit its holdings by early 2014.

The Brock Fiduciary Team was led by Alain Lebec, Senior Managing Director, and included Charles Brock, Chairman and CEO; Abhishek Mathur, Senior Vice President; and Mark Lanzana, Senior Associate. This was the first major liquidation of the VEBA's holdings in GM securities, and reflected a substantial monetization of its assets.
