Been reading about this on zerohedge:

Cliffs notes: GM effectively diluting itself 99%, giving shares to govt & UAW. Since treasury will be biggest holder, they're the only ones needing to approve it.
It sure didn't make a lot of news...
Maybe it's still awaiting treasury approval?
Interesting that the board would have gone along with this. Also interesting that no-one's suing.
