Ford Motor Buys $50 Million Stake in Internet Capital Group

Detroit, Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Ford Motor Co., the world's
No. 2 automaker, agreed to buy a $50 million stake in Internet
Capital Group Inc. and will explore a ``variety of potential
strategic relationships' with the company, ICG said.
Ford will pay $108 a share in the private placement, said
ICG, which invests in closely held electronic-commerce companies.
Further details weren't disclosed.
The investment comes as Wayne, Pennsylvania-based ICG
offered to the public 6 million shares at $108 a share and
$475 million in notes convertible into stock, raising more than
$1.1 billion. The company will use the cash to buy interests in
other e-commerce ventures and to pay interest on notes.
Last week, ICG said AT&T Corp. bought a $50 million stake at
$82 a share. ICG, which owns stakes in 47 business-to-business
e-commerce companies including VerticalNet Inc. and Deja.com
Inc., first sold stock to the public Aug. 5 at $12. The shares
fell 16 1/16 to 108 1/8 today.
Ford rose 15/16 to 49 7/16. The investment was announced
after the close of regular U.S. trading.
