Page 7 of 17


Securities LLC (“UBS”), Goldman Sachs & Co. (“GS”) and Pardus delivered to the Issuer a proposal, which the Issuer accepted, for a potential investment of up to $2.55 billion in the aggregate in preferred and common equity of the reorganized Issuer and a proposed reorganization framework for the Issuer (the “Proposal”). Each of ADAH, Del-Auto, Merrill, UBS, GS and Pardus are referred to herein as the “Investors.” A copy of the Proposal is attached as Exhibit 20 to the Schedule 13D/A filed by Appaloosa on July 20, 2007.

According to the Proposal, the Investors would enter into an Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) providing for the potential equity investment. The Proposal will terminate if, on or before August 16, 2007, (x) the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) does not issue an order reasonably satisfactory to the Investors approving and authorizing the Issuer to enter into the Investment Agreement and certain other matters, (y) the Issuer has not entered into the Investment Agreement or (z) any of the Investors determines in its sole discretion that any of the conditions contained in the Investment Agreement are incapable of being satisfied or that any of the Investors is entitled to exercise a termination right under the Investment Agreement.

EQUITY INVESTMENT

Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Investment Agreement, the Investors would purchase an aggregate of $800 million of convertible preferred stock and approximately $175 million of common stock in the reorganized Issuer as follows: (i) each Investor would purchase, for $38.39 per share, each Investor’s proportionate share of 4,558,479 shares of the reorganized

 

Page 8 of 17


Issuer’s new common stock (the “Direct Subscription Shares”), (ii) ADAH would purchase, for $31.28 per share, 12,787,724 shares of the reorganized Issuer’s new Series A-1 Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), and (iii) each Investor other than ADAH would purchase, for $38.39 per share, such Investor’s proportionate share of the reorganized Issuer’s new Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The number of Direct Subscription Shares, shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be purchased by each Investor is set forth on Schedule 2 to the Investment Agreement.

Additionally, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Investment Agreement, the Investors would purchase any unsubscribed shares of the reorganized Issuer’s new common stock in connection with an approximately $1.6 billion rights offering that would be made available to holders of the Issuer’s Shares as of a record date to be determined by the Issuer. In accordance with the Investment Agreement, the Issuer would distribute certain rights to holders of Shares to acquire new common stock of the reorganized Issuer subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, approval of the Bankruptcy Court and satisfaction of other terms and conditions. The rights, which would be transferable by the original eligible holders, would permit holders to purchase their pro rata share of new common stock of the reorganized Issuer at $38.39 per share.

Altogether, the Investors could invest up to an aggregate of $2.55 billion in the reorganized Issuer. The Investment Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of numerous conditions and the non-exercise by either the Issuer or the Investors of certain termination rights, all of which are more fully described in the Investment Agreement.

 

Page 9 of 17


The Investors would be entitled to payment of certain commitment fees and an alternate transaction fee, and ADAH would be entitled to an arrangement fee, in amounts, at the times and under the circumstances set forth in the Investment Agreement.

PLAN OF REORGANIZATION FRAMEWORK

The Investment Agreement further outlines the Issuer’s proposed framework for a plan of reorganization, which includes distributions to be made to creditors and stockholders, the treatment of General Motors Corporation’s claims, and the corporate governance of the reorganized Issuer.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

Under the terms of the proposed plan, the reorganized Issuer would be governed by a nine (9) member board of directors, including an executive chairman and the Issuer’s Chief Executive Officer. Subject to certain conditions, six of the nine directors would be required to be independent of the reorganized Issuer under applicable exchange rules and six of the nine directors would be required to be independent of the Investors.

A five (5) member selection committee will have certain approval rights with respect to the reorganized Issuer’s initial Board of Directors. The selection committee will consist of John D. Opie, the Issuer’s board of directors’ lead independent director, a representative of each of the Issuer’s two statutory committees, a representative from Appaloosa and a representative from the other Investors, excluding UBS, GS and Merrill. ADAH, through its proposed Series A-1 Preferred Stock ownership, would have certain veto rights regarding extraordinary corporate actions such as change of control transactions and acquisitions or investments in excess of $250 million in any twelve (12) month period.

 

Page 10 of 17


Executive compensation for the reorganized Issuer must be on market terms and must be reasonably satisfactory to ADAH, and the overall executive compensation plan design must be described in the Issuer’s disclosure statement and incorporated into the plan of reorganization.

NEW INVESTOR LETTER AGREEMENT

On July 18, 2007, Appaloosa, Harbinger, Merrill, UBS, GS and the Fund entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) governing the relationships among them. A copy of the Letter Agreement is attached as Exhibit 21 to the Schedule 13D/A filed by Appaloosa on July 20, 2007.

The parties to the Letter Agreement have agreed, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, to certain transfer restrictions on claims and interests in any of the Debtors (as defined in the Investment Agreement). Additionally, the Letter Agreement sets forth certain obligations of the parties to the Letter Agreement with respect to supporting the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Letter Agreement.

Except as described in this Item 4 or otherwise described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Reporting Persons intend to review the Fund’s and Pardus’ investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Subject to any applicable terms of the Investment Agreement and the Letter Agreement, each of the Reporting Persons and Pardus reserves the right, in light of its or his ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s financial condition, business, operations and

 

Page 11 of 17


prospects, the market price of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets generally, general economic and industry conditions, its or his business objectives and other relevant factors, to change its or his plans and intentions at any time, as it or he deems appropriate. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing (but subject to any applicable terms of the Confidentiality Agreement (defined below), the Investment Agreement and the Letter Agreement), any one or more of the Reporting Persons (and their respective affiliates) reserves the right, in each case subject to any applicable limitations imposed on the sale of any Shares by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other applicable law, to (i) purchase additional Shares or other securities of the Issuer, (ii) sell or transfer Shares or other securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by them from time to time in public or private transactions, (iii) engage in short selling of or any hedging or similar transactions with respect to Shares or other securities of the Issuer and (iv) cause any of the Reporting Persons to distribute in kind to their respective stockholders, partners or members, as the case may be, Shares or other securities owned by such Reporting Persons.

This Schedule 13D is not a solicitation for votes on the Issuer’s plan of reorganization. No disclosure statement has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court for the Issuer’s plan of reorganization.
