GM Files Convertible Securities Offering and Obtains Commitment for a Secured Revolving Line of Credit

NEW YORK – General Motors Corporation (NYSE: GM) today announced plans to offer approximately $1.1 billion in convertible debt securities. The notes will be unsecured and will mature on June 1, 2009. GM intends to grant the underwriters of the securities a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $165 million in principal amount of the securities. The purpose of the offering is to replace $1.1 billion in convertible securities put to the company in March of this year and to bolster liquidity at a time when the capital markets present an attractive opportunity to do so.

The joint-book running managers for the offering are Citi, Deutsche Bank Securities and Goldman, Sachs & Co. In connection with the offering, GM expects to enter into capped call transactions with affiliates of the underwriters of the securities. The capped call transactions are intended to substantially increase the effective conversion premium of the securities and reduce potential dilution to GM common stock upon potential future conversion. The counterparties to the capped call transactions have advised GM that they expect to enter into various derivative and other hedging activity with respect to GM’s common stock, which could have the effect of increasing, or preventing or offsetting a decline in, the price of GM’s common stock concurrently with or following the pricing of the convertible debt securities.

In addition, GM has received commitment for a supplemental revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of approximately $4.1 billion. The company anticipates that the facility will be secured by GM’s common equity ownership of GMAC LLC and will mature 364 days after the definitive agreement is signed. The credit line could be drawn upon for general corporate purposes including working capital needs.
