Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund is about to become a major shareholder in Aston Martin. 

The kingdom’s Public Investment Fund will raise $773.15 million to buy a 16.7% stake in the British luxury car company. The transaction will make the fund the second-largest shareholder in Aston Martin, which is suffering from high debt and a drop in its stock’s value, Reuters reported.
