It appears that BAIC essentially bought the physical tooling for the 9-5, but only the intellectual property rights to certain technologies from the 9-3. I don't know if that would somehow mean Saab now needs to license those technologies back from BAIC in order to continue production, but it seems like they would have provided for that in the agreement.

From an AP article:

"Beijing Autos, also known as BAIC, said it plans to buy the rights to some powertrain technology for Saab's 9-5 and 9-3 sedans, including engine and gearbox knowhow.

"The production equipment used to make the 9-5 will be moved to China to produce BAIC cars, and Saab will help integrate the technology into the Chinese company's vehicles, the two sides said.

"Saab will also support Beijing Auto's efforts to build its own car brands, using the Saab technology, said the announcement."
