Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 17 – General Motors Co. executed a $12.5 billion revolving credit facility consisting of a $5 billion three-year facility and a $7.5 billion five-year facility, according to a company news release.

A total of 40 financial institutions from 14 countries participated in the transaction, according to the news release.

“This credit facility further strengthens our fortress balance sheet with an appropriate level of liquidity to support the needs of the business,” Chuck Stevens, GM executive vice president and chief financial officer, said in the news release.

General Motors is a Detroit-based automaker.
