ITEM 4 OWNERSHIP. (a)-(c) Subject to the discussion below, as of December 31, 2000, the Committee may be deemed the beneficial owner, on behalf of the Plan and the VEBA, for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), of a total of 181,500,000 shares of Common Stock (160,800,000 shares on behalf of the Plan and 20,700,000 shares on behalf of the VEBA), representing approximately 20.8% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding (18.4% on behalf of the Plan and 2.4% on behalf of the VEBA) (based on the 874,604,340 shares outstanding as of September 30, 2000 as reported in the Issuer's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2000), as to all of which shares the Committee may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or disposition thereof. The Committee is a named fiduciary (in accordance with ERISA) of the Plan and the VEBA and in such capacities has and exercises the power to appoint, and terminate the appointment of, investment managers for holdings of securities or other property contributed to the Plan and the VEBA by GM. The Committee, as a named fiduciary for the Plan and the VEBA, has also retained General Motors Investment Management Corporation ("GMIMCo"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM that is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, to perform certain investment management and administrative functions for the Plan and the VEBA, including to appoint independent investment managers for all other holdings of the Plan and the VEBA. GMIMCo has appointed various independent investment managers for the Plan and the VEBA, some of whom have authority to cause the Plan and the VEBA to acquire publicly traded equity securities, which may include shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to appointment by the Committee, at December 31, 2000, United States Trust Company of New York ("U.S. Trust"), as trustee and investment manager, held and had the power to vote and dispose of 160,800,000 shares of Common Stock owned by the Plan and 20,700,000 shares of Common Stock owned by the VEBA (together, 181,500,000 shares), representing approximately 18.4% and 2.4%, respectively, (together 20.8%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. 4 Neither the Committee nor GMIMCo has directed U.S. Trust with respect to the voting or the disposition or continued ownership by the Plan or the VEBA of any shares of Common Stock over which they had management. Although the Committee does not exercise voting or dispositive powers with respect to any shares of Common Stock owned by the Plan or the VEBA, it may be deemed to be a beneficial owner, on behalf of the Plan and the VEBA, for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Act of the shares of Common Stock held in trust and managed for the Plan and the VEBA by U.S. Trust because it has the power under certain circumstances to terminate within 60 days the appointment of U.S. Trust as trustee and investment manager for the Plan and the VEBA with respect to such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the filing of this statement is not an admission that the Committee is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, a beneficial owner of any of the securities covered by this statement and such beneficial ownership is disclaimed. ITEM 5 OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS. Not applicable. ITEM 6 OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON. The responses to Items 2 and 4 hereof are incorporated by reference herein. ITEM 7 IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBSIDIARY WHICH ACQUIRED THE SECURITY BEING REPORTED ON BY THE PARENT HOLDING COMPANY. Not applicable. ITEM 8 IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MEMBERS OF THE GROUP. Not applicable. ITEM 9 NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION OF GROUP. Not applicable. 5 ITEM 10 CERTIFICATIONS.
