OTHER EVENTS On January 14, 1999, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued the following news releases on GM's favorable Internal Revenue Service ruling regarding the planned distribution of Delphi common stock. The news release is as follows. GM RECEIVES FAVORABLE IRS RULING REGARDING PLANNED DISTRIBUTION OF DELPHI COMMON STOCK DETROIT - General Motors Corporation today said that it has received a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service confirming that GM's plan to effect a distribution in 1999 of the shares it holds of Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation (Delphi) would be tax-free to GM and its stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Delphi is the corporation to which GM recently transferred the business and operations of its former Delphi Automotive Systems sector. In August 1998, GM announced its intention to pursue a series of transactions that would result in Delphi becoming a fully independent, publicly-traded company during 1999. The first of those transactions is reflected in a registration statement which has been filed by Delphi with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission concerning the proposed initial public offering of its common stock, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 1999. Delphi, based in Troy, Michigan, is a supplier of automotive components, systems and modules. * * * * * * - 2 - SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
