                                 Common Stock
             Shareholder Services Script for Questions and Answers


Q1.  What did I just receive from GM?

A1.  (Shareholder Service Reps will assist stockholders in identifying their
     exchange materials)
   White scannable card = Letter of Transmittal
   First white page = Chairman's letter
   Orange-Yellow document = Checklist for Participation in the Exchange Offer
   Blue document = Instructions to Letter of Transmittal
   Return Envelope = Envelope addressed to Fleet National Bank
   Yellow document = Notice of Guaranteed Delivery
   White double-sided page = Guidelines for Taxpayer Identification on

   Glossy-covered document = Offering Circular-Prospectus relating to
     the Exchange Offer

You should read these materials, including the Offering Circular-Prospectus,
very carefully before making a decision about whether to participate in the
exchange offer.


Q2.  What is this exchange offer all about?

A2.
     .  This is a voluntary exchange offer which means you can tender all, some
        or none of your shares of $1-2/3 par value common stock. The choice to
        participate is yours.

        .   For each share of $1-2/3 par value common stock properly tendered,
            General Motors is offering to exchange 1.065 shares of Class H
            common stock, up to a maximum of 86,396,977 shares of $1-2/3 par
            value common stock to be accepted in the exchange offer.

     .  The exchange ratio is: 1.065 shares of Class H common stock per share of
        $1-2/3 par value common stock. This means that for each share of $1-2/3
        par value common stock tendered and accepted by GM you'll receive 1.065
        shares of Class H common stock.

     .  The exchange offer is only for a limited time and will expire at 12:00
        midnight, EDT, New York City time, on May 19, 2000 unless GM extends
        this date.

Q3.  Why is General Motors offering this exchange?

A3.  This exchange offer is part of GM's overall plan to restructure its
     economic interest in Hughes Electronics (Hughes), its wholly-owned
     subsidiary in order to realize some of the economic value arising from GM's
     ownership of Hughes. The overall plan includes this exchange offer to
     current stockholders which is being used to repurchase GM $1-2/3 par value
     common stock in exchange for about $9 billion of GM Class H common stock,
     and anticipated contributions of about $7 billion of Class H common stock
     to certain of GM's employee benefit plans.

     Class H common stock currently trades on the NYSE and its ticker symbol is
     "GMH."

(page 1 GM 2/1/00 Press Release)

Q4.  Is it worthwhile for me to participate in the exchange?

A4.  We cannot make a recommendation and you must make your own decision
     regarding whether to tender and, if so, how many shares to tender in the
     exchange offer. We encourage you to review all of the exchange offer
     materials, including the Offering Circular-Prospectus, the Letter of
     Transmittal and the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal, which
     describe the terms and conditions of the exchange offer. You should also
     read and consider carefully the risk factors (pages 22 to 31 of the S-4)
     and consult with your financial advisor before deciding whether to
     participate in the exchange offer. GM expects that its overall plan to
     restructure its economic interest in Hughes will have benefits to GM and
     its stockholders. These benefits are described on page 4, A1 of the
     Offering Circular-Prospectus.

Q5.  Is General Motors spinning-off or splitting off Hughes?

A5.  No. The exchange offer is not a spin-off or split-off of Hughes. GM has no
     current plans or intention to separate Hughes or any of its businesses from
     GM, whether by means of a spin-off, split-off or any other transaction.
     However, GM will continue to evaluate what Hughes ownership structure would
     be optimal for the two companies and GM's stockholders. As a result, GM may
     determine to pursue any number of future transactions involving Hughes, or
     no transaction at all.

             Shareholder Services Script for Questions and Answers


Q6.  How will the pending Boeing transaction impact the Class H common stock?

A6.  The proposed Boeing transaction will have no direct impact on the Class H
     common stock. Pursuant to the Boeing transaction, Hughes is selling a
     portion of their assets (the satellite systems manufacturing businesses) to
     Boeing for approximately 3.75 billion dollars in cash. There will not be an
     exchange of stock.

Q7.  Will my Class H earnings per share be diluted with the issuance of $9
     billion worth of Class H common stock in the exchange offer?

A7.  No.  GM's Class H common stock is a "tracking stock" to which GM allocates
     a portion of the earnings of its Hughes subsidiary in order to determine
     earnings per share. Because the number of shares of Class H common stock
     and the earnings allocated to such stock will increase proportionately as a
     result of the exchange offer, there will be no dilution or other effect to
     the earnings per share of Class H common stock.

(page 5, A4 of the S-4)

Q8.  What is a "tracking stock"?

A8.  A "tracking stock" is a separate class of a company's common stock that is
     designed to provide holders with financial returns based on the financial
     performance of a group of assets or a specific business unit, division or
     subsidiary. Holders of a tracking stock are stockholders of the parent
     company and not of the underlying tracked business or subsidiary. In the
     case of Class H common stock, the security tracks the financial performance
     of Hughes, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM.

Q9.  Does Class H common stock pay a dividend?

A9.  No.  The payment of dividends on Class H common stock is determined by GM's
     board of directors. GM does not currently expect to pay dividends on the
     Class H common stock in the foreseeable future.

Q10.  Who is eligible to participate in the exchange offer?

A10.  You may elect to participate in the exchange offer if you hold shares of
      GM $1-2/3 par value common stock and you validly tender your shares during
      the exchange offer period in a jurisdiction where this exchange offer is
      permitted under the laws of that jurisdiction. For more information about
      certain legal restrictions governing the exchange offer in certain foreign
      jurisdictions, you should refer to the section of the Offering Circular-
      Prospectus entitled "Certain Matters Relating to Foreign Jurisdictions -
      Legal Restrictions Governing the Exchange Offer" on page 50.

(page 5, A7 of the S-4)

Q11.  Do I have to participate in the exchange offer?

A11.  No.  This is a voluntary exchange offer, which means that you may tender
      all, some or none of your shares of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock in
      the exchange offer.

(first paragraph on page 12 of the S-4)

Q12.  How do I tender my shares?

A12.  (representative inquires whether stockholder is registered, beneficial or
      an employee plan participant).

      Before tendering your shares, you should read carefully the Offering
      Circular-Prospectus, the Letter if Transmittal and the Instructions to the
      Letter of Transmittal. These documents contain important information
      regarding the terms and conditions of the exchange offer.

If registered:  (representative walks through the Letter of Transmittal with
      stockholder)

      .  determine how your stock is being held (physical certificates, DRP or
         book-entry). If the shares you wish to tender are represented by
         physical certificates, you must send the certificates in with your
         Letter of Transmittal (photo copies of certificates will be rejected).
      .  determine the number of shares you wish to tender
      .  if you want to tender all your shares, place an "X" in box #6 on the
         Letter of Transmittal

      .  if you want to tender some, but not all, of your shares, place an "X"
         in box #7 AND indicate exactly the number of shares you wish to tender
         in the space provided.
      .  all registered owners must sign the Letter of Transmittal.*

      *  Trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact,
         officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or
         representative capacity who sign the Letter of Transmittal, notice of
         guaranteed delivery or any certificates or stock powers must indicate
         the capacity in which they are signing, and must submit evidence of
         their power to act in that capacity certified within the last 180 days.

If beneficial:  (representative informs stockholder that they should contact
         their broker for information on the exchange)

If plan participant:  (representative provides appropriate telephone number of
         plan's record keeper)

Q13.  Where do I send my Letter of Transmittal and certificate(s) and what is
      the best way to send them?

A13.  It's critical that you send your Letter of Transmittal and stock
      certificates to one of the following addresses so that it is received by
      the exchange agent prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer. Do
      not use any other address.

Delivery of the election form to an address other than as set forth below will
not constitute a valid delivery to the exchange agent.

      Please note:  If you choose to send your Letter of Transmittal and stock
      certificates by mail, it is recommended that they be sent by registered
      mail, insured for at least 2% of the current market value ($20.00
      minimum), with return receipt requested.

Q14.  My stock certificates are lost, what should I do?

A14.
      .  indicate on the front of the Letter of Transmittal that your shares
         have been lost, destroyed, mutilated or stolen by placing an "X" in box
         #8.
      .  complete Box A on the reverse side of the Letter of Transmittal to

Q15.  What if I want to have my Class H common stock or any $1-2/3 par value
      common stock not accepted in the exchange offer or cash instead of
      fractional shares issued in a different name or sent to a different
      address?

A15.

 .  complete the Special Issuance Instructions on pages 12-13 of the Instructions

      If you complete the Special Issuance Instructions box, you must obtain a
      "medallion" signature guarantee on the Letter of Transmittal by a
      financial institution such as a commercial bank, a trust company, a
      national bank, a credit union or a brokerage firm that is participating in
      the "medallion" program. Please

             Shareholder Services Script for Questions and Answers


      note that a medallion signature guarantee is required for this request; a
      notary public seal is not sufficient.

      Trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact,
      officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative
      capacity who sign the Letter of Transmittal, notice of guaranteed delivery
      or any certificates or stock powers must indicate the capacity in which
      they are signing, and must submit evidence of their power to act in that
      capacity certified within the last 180 days.

      If your request is not received with the proper documentation or medallion
      signature guarantee, the exchange agent will issue the Class H common
      stock, $1-2/3 par value common stock and/or cash in the same name as your
      shares of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock being tendered in the exchange
      offer. In such case, the exchange agent will send you transfer
      instructions and return any additional documents that you have provided to
      them.

 .  complete the Special Delivery Instructions on page 14 of the Instructions to
   the Letter of Transmittal if you wish to have payment of cash instead of
   fractional shares of Class H common stock to be mailed to an address other
   than the one printed on the front of the Letter of Transmittal or in the box
   entitled "Special Issuance Instructions".

Q16.  What if I change my mind after I have tendered my shares?

A16.  You may withdraw tenders of shares of GM $1-2/3 common stock at any time
      prior to the expiration date. As provided under federal securities laws,
      you may also withdraw your tenders after 40 business days following the
      commencement date if GM has not by such time accepted your shares.

      The withdrawal must:
                     -----
      .  be a written notice received by the exchange agent at one of the valid
         addresses (see answer 13).
      .  specify the name of the person who tendered the shares,
      .  identify the number of shares to be withdrawn,
      .  specify the name in which any physical stock certificates are
         registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder.

You should follow the withdrawal procedures described in the section of the
Offering Circular-Prospectus entitled "The Exchange Offer - Withdrawal Rights."

Q17.  Question 14 of the S-4 mentions a "premium". What is meant by a premium
      and does this exchange involve a premium?

A17.  A premium in an exchange offer refers to the higher market value of the
      shares received as a result of the exchange than of the shares originally
      tendered. Based on the closing trading prices of $1-2/3 par value common
      stock and Class H common stock on April 19, 2000, the exchange ratio would
      result in a tendering $1-2/3 par value stockholder receiving shares of
      Class H common stock with a market value higher than the market value of
      the shares of $1-2/3 par value common stock tendered. For more information
      about how you can calculate an indicated premium based on the relative
      trading prices of $1-2/3 par value common stock and Class H common stock,
      see the formula found on page 7, A14 of the Offering Circular-Prospectus.

      It is impossible to predict what the amount of the premium, if any, will
      be at the closing of the exchange offer or the prices at which shares of
      Class H common stock or $1-2/3 par value common stock will trade over
      time.

Q18.  What happens if too many shares of $1-2/3 common stock are tendered?

A18.  If more than 86,396,977 shares of $1-2/3 common stock are tendered, all
      shares of $1-2/3 common stock that are validly tendered will be accepted
      for exchange on a pro-rata basis. However, tenders from persons who own
      fewer than 100 shares of $1-2/3 par value common stock and who tender all
      of their shares, will be accepted in full, except for tenders from
      employee benefit plans.

(page 8, A18 of the S-4)

      Note:  if you have tendered all of your Dividend and Cash Investment Plan
      shares and all of your shares are not accepted due to proration, you will
      need to re-enroll in the Dividend and Cash Investment Plan after the close
      of the exchange offer.

Q19.  Is the exchange offer tax-free?

A19.  For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the exchange offer will generally be
      tax-free to GM and, except in connection with cash received instead of
      fractional shares, its stockholders. As always, it is advisable to consult
      your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to you of the exchange
      offer. Stockholders in certain foreign jurisdictions should refer to "The
      Exchange Offer--Certain Matters Relating to Foreign Jurisdictions--Income
      Tax Consequences in Certain Jurisdictions on p. 52 of the Offering
      Circular-Prospectus.

(page 8, A20 of the S-4)

Q20.  When will I receive my new stock certificate for my shares of Class H
      common stock**?

A20.  As soon as reasonably practicable following the close of the exchange
      offer you will receive an account statement reflecting your ownership of
      Class H common stock. Your shares will be held with GM's transfer agent in
      book-entry form under the Direct Registration System (DRS). You will
      receive a brochure with your statement explaining DRS and the benefits of
      keeping your shares in book-entry form.

      Some of the benefits of  book-entry are:
      .  eliminates problems associated with paper documents, such as the need
         for safe storage;
      .  eliminates the requirement for physical movement of certificates at
         time of sale, and the accompanying potential for loss;
      .  transactions such as share transfers and sales will be processed
         electronically and therefore, more efficiently; and
      .  eliminates the cost of the surety bond for replacement of lost
         certificates.

You are not required to maintain a book-entry account and you may at any time
obtain a physical stock certificate for all or portion of your shares.
Instructions describing how you can obtain stock certificates will be included
with the account statement mailed to you and also can be obtained upon request
from GM's transfer agent.

Q21.  When will I receive my check for my fractional share**?

A21.  Your check for the proceeds of the sale of your fractional share will be
      sent to you under separate cover from your account statement of holdings.
      Enclosed with your cash-in-lieu check will be: a 1099-B tax form, an
      attachment to your U.S. federal tax return, a cost basis worksheet and
      examples to assist with the computation of your per share cost basis.

Q22.  If shares of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock will be returned to me due
      to either proration or a partial tender, when and how will I receive my
      shares**?

A22.  All shares of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock being returned to you due
      to proration or partial tenders will be returned to your account in book-
      entry form. You will receive an account statement of your holdings of GM
      $1-2/3 par value common stock by book-entry as soon as practicable after
      the close of the exchange.

**    We anticipate that all of your documents from the exchange will be
      received by you within about three (3) weeks after the close of the
      exchange offer.

     The following is a newspaper advertisement of the exchange offer for
publication in several U.S. newspapers:





================================================================================

 This announcement is not an offer to sell, and is not soliciting any offer to
 buy, any securities. The Exchange Offer is made only by means of the Offering
      Circular-Prospectus dated April 24, 2000 and the related Letter of
    Transmittal (and the instructions thereto) and is not being made to any
     General Motors Corporation stockholders in any jurisdiction where the
      making of the Exchange Offer or its acceptance would not be legal.
   In those jurisdictions in the United States where the securities or
      blue sky laws require the Exchange Offer to be made by a licensed
          broker or dealer, the Exchange Offer shall be deemed to be
            made an behalf of General Motors Corporation by Morgan
           Stanley & Co. Incorporated and in other jurisdictions by
               one or more registered brokers or dealers under
                        the laws of such jurisdictions.

                          General Motors Corporation

                          Notice of Offer to Exchange

                     1.065 Shares of Class H Common Stock

                               for each share of

                        $1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock,

                up to 92,012,781 shares of Class H Common Stock

           --------------------------------------------------------
                 THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL
           EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON MAY 19,
                  2000 UNLESS THE EXCHANGE OFFER IS EXTENDED.
           --------------------------------------------------------

     General Motors Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("GM"), is offering to
exchange 1.065 shares of Class H Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share, of GM
("Class H Common Stock") for each share of Common Stock, par value $1 2/3 per
share, of GM ("$1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock") (the "Exchange Offer") validly
tendered and not withdrawn by 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on May 19,
2000, or any later date to which the Exchange Offer may be extended by GM for
any reason (such date and time, as it may be so extended, the "Expiration Date")
and accepted by GM upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offering Circular-Prospectus, dated April 24, 2000 (the "Offering Circular-
Prospectus"), and the related Letter of Transmittal (and the instructions
thereto). GM will accept up to a maximum of 86,396,977 shares of $1 2/3 Par
Value Common Stock and will issue up to a maximum of 92,012,781 shares of Class
H Common Stock in the Exchange Offer. GM's Class H Common Stock is a "tracking
stock" of GM designed to provide holders with financial returns based on the
financial performance of Hughes Electronics Corporation ("Hughes"), which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of GM. All persons holding $1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock
are eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer if they tender their shares in
a jurisdiction where the Exchange Offer is permitted under local law.

     The Exchange Offer is an important element of GM's overall plan to
restructure its economic interest in Hughes in order to realize some of the
economic value arising from GM's ownership of Hughes, as described in the
Offering Circular-Prospectus. The Exchange Offer provides holders of $1 2/3 Par
Value Common Stock with an opportunity to increase, in a manner generally free
of U.S. federal income tax, their interest in the financial performance of
Hughes.

     The Exchange Offer is subject to various conditions, including the
condition that at least 28,798,992 shares of $1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock
(approximately 4.6% of the outstanding $1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock as of March
31, 2000) are validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the Expiration
Date.

     If more than 86,396,977 shares of $1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock are validly
tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the Expiration Date, GM will accept
such shares on a pro rata basis when the Exchange Offer expires. A holder of
$1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock who beneficially owns an aggregate of fewer than
100 shares of $1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock and who validly tenders all such
shares will generally not be subject to proration, as described in the Offering
Circular-Prospectus. In addition, no fractional shares of Class H Common Stock
will be issued in the Exchange Offer. Instead, cash will be paid to holders of
$1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock otherwise entitled to receive fractional shares of
Class H Common Stock as a result of the Exchange Offer.

     NONE OF GM, HUGHES, THE EXCHANGE AGENT, THE INFORMATION AGENT, THE DEALER
MANAGER, THE MARKETING MANAGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS
MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION TO ANY STOCKHOLDER AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER ANY SHARES
OF $1 2/3 PAR VALUE COMMON STOCK PURSUANT TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER. EACH
STOCKHOLDER MUST MAKE HIS OR HER OWN DECISION REGARDING WHETHER TO TENDER SHARES
OF $1 2/3 PAR VALUE COMMON STOCK AND, IF SO, HOW MANY SHARES TO TENDER PURSUANT
TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER.

     For purposes of the Exchange Offer, the exchange of shares will be complete
if GM gives oral or written notice to Fleet National Bank (the "Exchange Agent")
that it has accepted the tenders of such shares for exchange. Promptly following
the announcement by GM of the final results of the Exchange Offer, including
proration, if any, the Exchange Agent will deliver the tendered shares of $1 2/3
Par Value Common Stock to GM and, as agent for the tendering stockholders, will
receive from GM the shares of Class H Common Stock that correspond to the number
of shares of $1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock accepted and credit such shares to
book-entry accounts maintained for the tendering stockholders.

     In all cases, exchange of shares of $1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock will be
made only upon receipt by the Exchange Agent prior to 12:00 midnight, New York
City time, on the Expiration Date of the Exchange Offer of (1) if applicable,
certificates representing such shares of $1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock (or
timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such $1 2/3 Par Value Common
Stock into the Exchange Agent's account at The Depository Trust Company) and
(2) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or an agent's
message (as described in the Offering Circular-Prospectus) in connection with a
book-entry transfer of shares, together with any other documents required by the
instructions to the Letter of Transmittal. Under no circumstances will interest
be paid by GM pursuant to the Exchange Offer, regardless of any delay in making
such exchange or crediting or delivering shares.

     GM expressly reserves the right, at any time or from time to time, in its
sole and absolute discretion for any reason and regardless of whether any of the
conditions specified in the Offering Circular-Prospectus under the caption "The
Exchange Offer--Conditions for Completion of the Exchange Offer" have been
satisfied, (1) to extend the period of time during which the Exchange Offer is
open or (2) to amend the Exchange Offer in any respect (including termination of
the Exchange Offer if the conditions described in the Offering Circular-
Prospectus are not met or changing the exchange ratio), in each case by issuing
a press release or by making another public announcement of such extension or
amendment.

     Tenders of shares of $1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock made pursuant to the
Exchange Offer may be withdrawn as set forth in the Offering Circular-Prospectus
under the caption "The Exchange Offer--Withdrawal Rights" and in the
instructions to the Letter of Transmittal. Tendered shares may be withdrawn at
any time prior to the Expiration Date and may also be withdrawn after the
expiration of 40 business days from the commencement of the Exchange Offer if GM
has not previously accepted such shares. To be effective, a written notice of
withdrawal must be received by the Exchange Agent by the Expiration Date at one
of its addresses set forth on the back cover of the Offering Circular-Prospectus
and must specify the name of the person who tendered the shares of $1 2/3 Par
Value Common Stock to be withdrawn, the number of shares of $1 2/3 Par Value
Common Stock to be withdrawn and the name in which the $1 2/3 Par Value Common
Stock certificates are registered, if different from that of the withdrawing
holder, as described in the Offering Circular-Prospectus. All questions as to
the form of documents (including notices of withdrawal) and the validity, form,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for exchange of any
tender of shares of $1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock will be determined by GM in
its sole and absolute discretion, which determination will be final and binding
on all tendering stockholders. None of GM, Hughes, the Exchange Agent, the
Information Agent, the Dealer Manager, the Marketing Manager, the soliciting
dealers or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any
defect or irregularity in tenders or notices of withdrawal or incur any
liability for failure to give any such notification.

     The Offering Circular-Prospectus, the Letter of Transmittal (and the
instructions thereto) and other relevant materials are being mailed to record
holders of $1 2/3 Par Value Common Stock and furnished to brokers, securities
dealers, banks, trust companies and similar persons whose names, or the name of
whose nominees, appear on the most recent stockholder list of GM or, if
applicable, who are listed as participants in a clearing agency's security
position listing for subsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of $1 2/3 Par
Value Common Stock. The Offering Circular-Prospectus, the Letter of Transmittal
(and the instructions thereto) and the related materials contain important
information which should be read carefully before any decision is made with
respect to the Exchange Offer.

     Salomon Smith Barney Inc. is acting as the Marketing Manager for Hughes in
connection with the Exchange Offer.

     Questions and requests for assistance or additional copies of the Offering
Circular-Prospectus, the Letter of Transmittal (and the instructions thereto)
and other materials relating to the Exchange Offer may be directed to the
Information Agent or the Dealer Manager, as set forth below.
