GMAC EXTENDS WITHDRAWAL DEADLINE AND EARLY DELIVERY TIME OF ITS NOTES
EXCHANGE OFFERS BY ONE DAY

Making certain other amendments to the terms and conditions of its private exchange
offers

NEW YORK (Dec. 2, 2008) – GMAC Financial Services (GMAC) today announced that it has extended the withdrawal deadline and early delivery time with respect to its separate private exchange offers and cash tender offers to purchase and/or exchange certain of its and its subsidiaries’ (the “GMAC offers”) and Residential Capital, LLC’s (the “ResCap offers”) outstanding notes by one day to 5 p.m., New York City time, on December 5, 2008. GMAC also intends to distribute supplements to the confidential offering memoranda previously distributed with respect to the GMAC and ResCap offers, containing certain other changes to the terms and conditions of the GMAC and ResCap offers. Certain information contained in such supplements will be set forth on a Form 8-K to be filed by GMAC with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Documents relating to the offers will only be distributed to holders of the old notes who complete and return a letter of eligibility confirming that they are within the category of eligible investors for this private offer. Noteholders who desire to obtain a copy of the eligibility letter should contact Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the information agent for the offers, at (866) 794-2200 (U.S. Toll-free).

The securities to be issued in the GMAC offers and the ResCap offers will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any securities laws and, unless so registered, such securities may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred within the United States or to or for the account of any U.S. person, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements thereof.

Accordingly, the GMAC offers are being made only (i) in the United States, to persons who are both “qualified institutional buyers,” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“QIBs”) and “qualified purchasers” (as defined in the GMAC offering memorandum) or (ii) outside the United States, to persons who are not “U.S. persons,” as that term is defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act and who are also both “non-U.S. qualified offerees” and “qualified purchasers” (each as defined in the GMAC offering memorandum). The ResCap offers are being made only to (i) in the United States, QIBs, or (ii) outside the United States, persons who are not “U.S. persons,” and who are “non-U.S. qualified offerees.”
