GM has apparently been negotiating exclusively with Spyker for the last week. The Genii/Eccelstone group was not told they were out during that time, so they were just waiting to see what would happen. (Their bid had been accepted, but no response to it yet.)
But then today it sounds like they realize they are probably out as it sounds like things are getting close with Spyker. (See other recent thread in this forum.)
As for a combined bid between Spyker and Genii, there had been some brief talk of that, but for numerous reasons the concern was that that would cause the whole EIB loan guarantee issue to be thrown up in the air again...which GM would not wait to have resolved. They mutually agreed to continue on with separate bids.
(This is all from various news articles and e-mail responses from Victor Muller that have been reported at http://www.saabsunited.com.)
