DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Co. said Monday it will launch a $5 billion share buyback and put forward a new plan for capital allocation that promises investors the potential for further cash returns.
GM reached a deal with an investor group that averts a proxy fight. As part of the agreement, investor Harry Wilson will drop his effort to get a seat on GM's board. Wilson praised the company's capital plan.
