Treasury Warrant

We are now witnessing one of the most striking changes of business ethics and contract law in history, compliments of the U.S. government. Our President has proclaimed that Chrysler now has a new lease on life because it's going to be managed by Fiat. A company that has not exactly distinguished itself for making quality cars. In addition, the largest shareholder in this new company (55%) is going to be the United Auto Workers, who have been major factor in the cause of this bankruptcy.

Fiat would actually take a 20% stake, plus warrant options, for nothing but an exchange of "know-how" - no cash, not one dollar! Fiat's warrants will give it the opportunity to increase its ownership (equity) by up to 15 more percentage points, if it introduces efficient engines in the U.S. and rolls out a car that gets 40 miles to the gallon. The irony is that Chrysler already has this "know-how" today, but nobody wants to buy the car.

To make this deal happen, the U.S. Treasury will contribute $3.3 billion to the plan: $2.0 billion to pay off Chrysler's senior secured lenders at 33 cents on the dollar (I wonder why they're hacked off), and the rest of the money will be used to pay the company's bills during the bankruptcy. The government also says that it is willing to "pitch-in" another $4.76 billion more in order to keep Chrysler running for several years. That's on top of the $4.0 billion that the government lent Chrysler previously, a debt that will be now forgiven as part of this arrangement. With a deal like this, why is Fiat needed?

Oh yes, what did the UAW give up to make this all happen? Well, they gave up part of their retiree health care fund which was owed $10.6 billion by Chrysler; instead they will only get $4.6 billion paid back with interest. Someone should tell them that most of us get Medicare when we retire, but of course the UAW can't settle for that. Also, they gave up a cost-of living allowance, a Christmas bonus, two paid holidays, and they will forego vision and dental care benefits. Maybe someone should also tell them that many workers are taking pay cuts today, but I guess that would be too much to ask. So, since the UAW has given up so much, let's give them 55% of the company!

To top off this travesty, the secured lenders who, according to bankruptcy law, have the contractual right to be paid off first on the $6.9 billion of secured debt they hold, are vehemently criticized in the press as being greedy. The only winners in this appear to be Fiat and the UAW, a couple of strange bedfellows.

Warrant Sale $76.47 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A warrant sale was a statutory means of collecting debts in Scotland until 2001. Legal procedure for warrant sales was governed by The Debtors (Scotland) Act 1987. The practice was controversial, those who opposed it were concerned that it affected the poorest section of society who genuinely were unable to pay a debt, others claimed the legislation was needed to ensure people paid their debts.It became a contentious political issue in the late 1980s, when Scottish councils used the legislation against an everincreasing number of Poll Tax defaulters. This involved councils applying for a warrant from the local court to collect the money owed by nonpayers. Sheriff officers (private companies, even though their title suggests they are court employees) were the choice of the local authorities to collect the outstanding debts. Under the 1987 act, the debt collectors were permitted to enter a debtors home and poind (put a value on) items, which would be subject to a later, public, sale under warrant. (Warrant Sale).

Warrant Officer $89.22 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A Warrant Officer (WO) is a member of a military organization holding one of a specific group of ranks.The rank was first used in the (then) English Royal Navy and is today used in many other countries, essentially the Commonwealth and USA. Outside the USA they are effectively senior noncommissioned officers with long military experience, although technically in a class of their own between NCOs and commissioned officers.However in the United States, warrant officers are technical leaders and specialists. They may be technical experts with long service. Alternatively, they may be direct entrants, notably for U.S. Army helicopter pilots.For comparison, in Germany, the Army rank of Hauptfeldwebel and above is similar to a British Army Warrant Officer; in France, the Adjudant and Major occupies a similar role.

In New Zealand, a Warrant of Fitness (WOF; colloquially a warrant) is a document certifying that a light motor vehicle has passed a compulsory periodic inspection of safety and roadworthiness. Most vehicles with a gross mass of under 3,500 kilograms (7,700 lb) which are used on public roads are required to undergo a WOF test annually until six years old, after which the vehicle must be tested sixmonthly.Vehicles over 3,500 kilograms (7,700 lb), passenger service vehicles (taxis, buses, shuttles, etc.), and rental vehicles do not have a Warrant of Fitness. Instead, these vehicles must possess a Certificate of Fitness (COF). The COF test is similar to the WOF test, but must be undergone every six months regardless of the age of the vehicle.
