Imperato's Leading UAW Chrysler Buyout Plan Now Closer After Kerkorian Bid

Press release from: i1connect

Detroit, MI – April 5, 2007 – The original UAW Chrysler Buyout Plan, that was proposed by 2008 Presidential Candidate and international businessman Daniel Imperato took another step as investor Kirk Kerkorian made a bid for the Chrysler Corporation with a proposal that would make the United Auto Workers (UAW) a major equity holder.

On March 4, 2007, the Detroit Free Press Reported that 2008 Presidential Candidate Daniel Imperato was working with "outside investors" in putting together a UAW Chrysler Buyout to save union jobs and place Chrysler equity in its under funded pension.

The under funded pension would be remedied by including the United Auto Workers (UAW) as equity partners in the company and placing Chrysler Company Stock in the pension program

In addition, the Imperato-led group would also look to keep the Chrysler Corporation headquartered in Michigan and keep most of the current management.

Kerkorian's wholly-owned investment company, Tracinda Corp., on Thursday made a $4.5 billion cash offer for DaimlerChrysler AG's U.S.-based Chrysler unit.

A deal would put Kerkorian in charge of Chrysler a decade after he claims he was tricked out of potentially billions of dollars in the 1998 deal in which Germany's Daimler-Benz joined with Chrysler in the so-called "merger of equals."

Tracinda in a statement said it wants "to build and strengthen" the troubled automaker and "will offer the United Auto Workers (UAW) and Chrysler management the opportunity to participate as equity partners in the transaction."

One week after Imperato first announced his UAW Chrysler plans, Kerkorian and Imperato were spotted in the Las Vegas, albeit separately, which fueled some rumors that Kerkorian and Imperato were working together on the UAW Chrysler buyout.

So that begs the question, is Kirk Kerkorian quietly supporting Daniel Imperato's plan to make Chrysler an Employee Owned Company (EOC)?

Or even better is Kirk Kerkorian acting on behalf of Daniel Imperato to help support his presidential campaign and his quest to help keep good union jobs in America?

A call was placed to Kerkorian's Beverly Hills Tracinda office. Kerkorian was unavailable for comment.

A call was also placed to Daniel Imperato's personal office who informed i1connect that Imperato was in Detroit, home of the UAW and Chrysler.

Imperato has publicly lobbied to keep automotive jobs in America as well as work with AFL-CIO leaders to help unionize and organize the labor of Latin American countries. According to Imperato, this would slow down jobs from moving out of the United States and would improve working conditions for workers in Latin America.

Kerkorian, whose Tracinda was Chrysler's largest shareholder at the time of its 1998 merger with DaimlerBenz, sued the combined company in 2000. He claimed that Daimler-Benz engineered a takeover of Chrysler, then cheated him out of billions by casting the deal as a merger of equals. A federal judge rejected his claim.

With a political campaign fueling Imperato, and a missed opportunity 9 years ago, it may be that politics has made for strange bedfellows once again.
On the news of the Kerkorian bid, DaimlerChrysler shares climbed $3.42, or 4.3 percent, to $84.41 in late trading on the New York Stock Exchange after rising to a new 52-week high of $84.75 earlier in the session.
