For Warren Buffett, could motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson be one that got away?
It makes for a tantalizing proposition, at least if you are a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder, a proposition that under one scenario would have been worth more than a billion dollars to the Buffett-led conglomerate based in Omaha.
It goes like this: In 2009, Omaha’s Berkshire Hathaway lent Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson $303 million over five years by buying unsecured notes issued by the manufacturer — essentially, a loan. The maker of street bikes was in a cash crunch as the recession deepened.
The interest rate charged by Berkshire Chairman and Chief Executive Buffett? A juicy 15 percent. While the exact repayment terms and schedules aren’t known, on a yearly lump payment at a standard interest-and-principal paydown, the loan would have yielded Berkshire lending income of about $150 million when it was all over.
The FRB made available portions of TARP through Treasury and allowed WB to 'bail out' HD. Got 15% to park shares in Berkshire.
It is however if you are nice some might answer if the situation or scenario warrants it.
Don't piss people off in here.
