judgment about possible future events. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but
these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and our actual results
may differ materially due to a variety of important factors. Among other items, such factors
might include: our ability to have the 363 sale approved by the Bankruptcy Court and to
complete it on an expedited timeline; our ability to sustain vehicle sales in the U.S. and
globally
while
we
carry
out
our
restructuring
plans;
the
ability
of
our
foreign
subsidiaries
to
restructure, enter into the new investment arrangements they have announced, and receive
other financial support from their local governments; our ability to build consumers’
confidence
in
our
viability
following
Chapter
11
proceedings
and
to
continue
to
attract
customers, particularly for our new products; our ability to continue to sell, spin-off or phase
out some of our brands, to manage the distribution channels for our products, and to
complete
other
planned
asset
sales;
and
the
overall
strength
and
stability
of
general
economic conditions and of the automotive industry, both in the U.S. and globally. 
Our most recent reports on SEC Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K provide information about these
and other factors, which may be revised or supplemented in future reports to the SEC on
those forms.
