OTHER ITEMS On January 5, 2004, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release announcing December sales. The release is as follows: GM Reports December Sales of 447,900, Down 9 Percent From Record Year-Ago Levels GM Sets Calendar-Year Truck and Utility Sales Records Cadillac Has Best Sales Year Since 1990 DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 447,900 new cars and trucks in December, down 9 percent compared to record sales levels in December 2002. GM's overall truck sales (278,406) were down 11 percent. Car sales (169,494) were down 5 percent. In December 2002, GM had exceptional sales results (473,663) and more than a 32-percent market share. GM calendar-year sales were down a modest 2 percent in 2003. For the third consecutive year, GM set an industry sales record for trucks. It also established a new industry benchmark for sales of sport utility vehicles. Five of GM's 9 brands had sales gains for the calendar year, led by an 8 percent sales increase at Cadillac, which had its best sales year since 1990, and GMC's tenth calendar-year sales record in 11 years. "Both GM and the industry continue to show significant sales momentum as we head into the new year," said John Smith, group vice president of GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "During the second half of 2003, the industry selling rate was approximately 17.5 million units, and GM's market share was above 28.5 percent. Given this momentum and the rapidly improving U.S. economy, we are optimistic about the outlook for 2004. Supporting our growth will be the launch of another 13 all-new models this year, including the Cadillac STS, Chevrolet Equinox and Cobalt, Saab 9-2X, Pontiac G6 and HUMMER H2 SUT." GM Truck Sales GM's industry-leading truck lineup posted solid sales in December. While sales for the month were down 11 percent, last December's truck sales set an all-time industry record, creating an extraordinarily difficult comparison. Calendar-year truck sales (2,795,721) were up slightly from record year-ago levels (0.2 percent) and once again established a new industry record. Truck sales for the month were driven by 97,475 deliveries of full-size pickups (down 12 percent), which once again led the industry. Although down 11 percent, sales of sport utility vehicles (131,066) surpassed 100,000 units for the eighth time in the last 9 months and established a new calendar-year record for the industry. GM continued to strengthen its sales performance in the important large luxury utility segment with 11,104 deliveries, led by continuing record sales of the Cadillac Escalade portfolio (7,292) and a very strong sales month for HUMMER H2 (3,751). Calendar year-to-date sales of GM large luxury utilities (95,002) were up 37 percent. GM remains the only manufacturer to ever sell more than 1 million sport utility vehicles and over 2.6 million trucks in a calendar year. GM Car Sales GM car sales declined 5 percent from strong year-ago levels. Calendar-year car sales (1,960,682) also were down 5 percent. In the very competitive mid-size segment, Impala sales for the calendar year (267,882) were up 35 percent. In the luxury segment, Cadillac CTS finished the calendar year with 49,392 deliveries, a 30 percent improvement over last year.

While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described in GM's most recent report on SEC Form 10-K (at page II-18) which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such factors include, among others, the following: changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rates or political stability; shortages of fuel, labor strikes or work stoppages; market acceptance of the corporation's new products; significant changes in the competitive environment; changes in laws, regulations and tax rates; and, the ability of the corporation to achieve reductions in cost and employment levels to realize production efficiencies and implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management. # # # Detroit -- General Motors dealers in the United States today reported the following vehicle sales: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calendar Year-to-Date December January -
