Plan of Liquidation [Abstract]
Plan of Liquidation	2. Plan of Liquidation On March 31, 2011, the date the Plan became effective (the “Effective Date”), there were approximately $29,771 million in Allowed General Unsecured Claims. In addition, as of the Effective Date, there were approximately $8,154 million in disputed general unsecured claims which reflects liquidated disputed claims and a Bankruptcy Court ordered distribution reserve for unliquidated disputed claims (“Disputed General Unsecured Claims”), but does not reflect potential Avoidance Action General Unsecured Claims (as defined below). The total aggregate amount of general unsecured claims, both allowed and disputed, asserted against the Debtors, inclusive of the potential Avoidance Action General Unsecured Claims, was approximately $39,425 million as of the Effective Date. Pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement, holders of Disputed General Unsecured Claims become entitled to receive a distribution of New GM Securities from the GUC Trust if, and to the extent that, such Disputed General Unsecured Claims become Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Under the GUC Trust Agreement, the GUC Trust Administrator has the authority to file objections to such Disputed General Unsecured Claims and the Bankruptcy Court has extended the time by which the GUC Trust may object to Disputed General Unsecured Claims and Administrative Expenses as defined in the Plan to September 26, 2012 (which date may be further extended by application to the Bankruptcy Court). Such claims may be prosecuted through alternative dispute resolution proceedings, including mediation and arbitration (“ADR Proceedings”), if appropriate. The GUC Trust Administrator and its professionals are currently prosecuting multiple objections to Disputed General Unsecured Claims. To the extent that all or a portion of a Disputed General Unsecured Claim is deemed invalid—or “disallowed”—by order of the Bankruptcy Court, by order of the tribunal presiding over the ADR Proceeding (if applicable), or by settlement with the GUC Trust, such portion of the Disputed General Unsecured Claim that is disallowed is not entitled to a distribution from the GUC Trust (subject to any appeal rights of the claimant). However, to the extent that a Disputed General Unsecured Claim is fully resolved, and such resolution results in all or a portion of the original Disputed General Unsecured Claim being deemed valid—or “allowed”—by order of the Bankruptcy Court, by order of the tribunal presiding over the ADR Proceeding (if applicable), or by settlement with the GUC Trust, such portion of the Disputed General Unsecured Claim that is allowed will be considered an Allowed General Unsecured Claim and will be entitled to a distribution from the GUC Trust as if it were an Allowed General Unsecured Claim on the Effective Date (such claims, “Resolved Disputed Claims”). Only one Avoidance Action, captioned Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation Co. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. et al., Adv. Pro. No.09-00504 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. July 31, 2009) (the “Term Loan Avoidance Action”), was commenced prior to the statutory deadline for commencing such actions. The Term Loan Avoidance Action was commenced by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation Company (the “Committee”), and seeks the return of approximately $1.5 billion that had been transferred by the Debtors (with funds advanced after the commencement of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases by the United States Treasury and Export Development Canada (together, the “DIP Lenders”)) to a consortium of prepetition lenders pursuant to the terms of the order of the Bankruptcy Court. On December 15, 2011, in accordance with the Plan, upon the dissolution of MLC, the Term Loan Avoidance Action was transferred to the Avoidance Action Trust (as defined below). To the extent that the trustee and trust administrator of the Avoidance Action Trust (the “Avoidance Action Trust Administrator”) is successful in obtaining a judgment against the defendant(s) to the Term Loan Avoidance Action, Allowed General Unsecured Claims will arise in the amount of any transfers actually avoided (that is, disgorged) pursuant thereto (such general unsecured claims “Avoidance Action General Unsecured Claims,” and together with Resolved Disputed Claims, the “Resolved Allowed Claims”). It is still unclear whether any amounts actually avoided pursuant to the Term Loan Avoidance Action would be for the benefit of holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims. On June 6, 2011, the Committee commenced a separate adversary complaint seeking a declaratory judgment that (a) the DIP Lenders are not entitled to any proceeds of the Term Loan Avoidance Action and have no interests in the trust established for the action under the Plan (the “Avoidance Action Trust”), and (b) the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims have the exclusive right to receive any and all proceeds of the Term Loan Avoidance Action, and are the exclusive beneficiaries of the Avoidance Action Trust with respect thereto. On December 2, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order, in favor of the Committee, denying the DIP Lenders’ motions to dismiss and for summary judgment (the “Term Loan Ownership Ruling”). On December 16, 2011, the DIP Lenders appealed the Term Loan Ownership Ruling along with related rulings and decisions of the Bankruptcy Court. On July 3, 2012, the district court for the Southern District of New York vacated the Bankruptcy Court’s judgment and remanded the case to the Bankruptcy Court, with instructions for the Bankruptcy Court judge to dismiss the Committee’s complaint without prejudice for want of subject matter jurisdiction. As a result of the foregoing ruling, the rights to any recoveries on the Term Loan Avoidance Action are still disputed. *GUC Trust Distributable Assets* Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the distribution of 150 million shares of New GM Common Stock issued by New GM, warrants to acquire 136,363,635 newly issued shares of New GM Stock with an exercise price set at $10.00 per share (“New GM Series A Warrants”), and warrants to acquire 136,363,635 newly issued shares of New GM Stock with an exercise price set at $18.33 per share (“New GM Series B Warrants”), (such securities, “New GM Securities”). The New GM Securities were held by MLC for the benefit of the GUC Trust until the dissolution of MLC on December 15, 2011, at which time they were transferred to the GUC Trust. In addition, the agreement governing the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Debtors and related sale documentation together provide that, in the event that the Bankruptcy Court enters an order that includes a finding that the estimated aggregate Allowed General Unsecured Claims against the Debtors exceed $35 billion, New GM will be required to issue additional shares of New GM Common Stock for the benefit of the GUC Trust’s beneficiaries (the “Additional Shares”). The number of Additional Shares to be issued will be equal to the number of such shares, rounded up to the next whole share, calculated by multiplying (i) 30 million shares (adjusted to take into account any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction with respect to such New GM Common Stock from and after the closing of such sale and before issuance of the Additional Shares) and (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the amount by which Allowed General Unsecured Claims exceed $35 billion (such excess amount being capped at $7 billion) and (B) the denominator of which is $7 billion. No Additional Shares have been issued. *Funding for GUC Trust Costs of Liquidation* The GUC Trust has and will have certain costs to liquidate the trust assets and implement the Plan. On or about the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, MLC contributed approximately $52.7 million to the GUC Trust to be held and maintained by the GUC Trust Administrator (as the “GUC Trust Administrative Fund”) for the purpose of paying certain fees and expenses incurred by the GUC Trust (including fees of the GUC Trust Administrator and the GUC Trust Monitor and the fees and expenses for professionals retained by the GUC Trust) (“Wind-Down Costs”). Cash or investments from the GUC Trust Administrative Fund, if any, which remain at the winding up and conclusion of the GUC Trust must be returned to the DIP Lenders. The GUC Trust Agreement provides that if the GUC Trust Administrator determines that the GUC Trust Administrative Fund is not sufficient to satisfy the current or projected costs and expenses of the GUC Trust, the GUC Trust Administrator, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, is authorized to set-aside, or “reserve”, New GM Securities from distribution for this purpose. The GUC Trust Administrator may then liquidate such reserved New GM Securities to fund the Wind-Down Costs, in most cases, with the required approval of the Bankruptcy Court. New GM Securities that are reserved and/or sold in this manner will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units, and the cash proceeds of any such sale will be classified as “Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash” under the GUC Trust Agreement. Separate from this process of reserving, or setting aside, New GM Securities to satisfy projected costs and expenses of the GUC Trust, as a matter of financial reporting, the GUC Trust records a reserve in its Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation (the source of funding of which is not addressed thereon) for all expected costs of liquidation which are estimable and probable. As a result, there is not a direct relationship between the amount of such reserve reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation and the value of any New GM Securities that are set aside for current or projected costs. Adjustments to the Reserve for Expected Costs of Liquidation as reported in the Statement of Net Assets are recorded only when the incurrence of additional costs is both estimable and probable. In addition, in accordance with Section 2.3(e)(i) of the GUC Trust Agreement, the GUC Trust requested the sale of 87,182 shares of New GM Common Stock and 79,256 warrants of each series of New GM Warrants by MLC in order to provide additional funds for the payment of a portion of expenses related to certain regulatory reporting requirements and other actions provided for by the GUC Trust Agreement (“Reporting Costs”), including (i) those directly or indirectly relating to reports to be filed by the GUC Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or otherwise pursuant to applicable rules, regulations and interpretations of the SEC, (ii) the application to the Internal Revenue Service for a private letter ruling regarding the tax treatment of the GUC Trust and the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in respect to the distribution of New GM Securities, and (iii) the ownership dispute with respect to the Term Loan Avoidance Action. The sale, which occurred May 27, 2011, resulted in cash proceeds of approximately $5.7 million, which constituted Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash under the GUC Trust Agreement. These funds were previously maintained at MLC, but upon MLC’s dissolution on December 15, 2011, such funds were transferred to the GUC Trust and the Avoidance Action Trust. If the GUC Trust Administrator determines that the Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash is not sufficient to satisfy the current or projected Reporting Costs of the GUC Trust, the GUC Trust Administrator, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, is authorized to reserve New GM Securities to satisfy such costs. The GUC Trust Administrator may then liquidate such reserved New GM Securities to fund the Reporting Costs, with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. New GM Securities that are reserved or sold in this manner will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units. Cash or permissible investments constituting Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash, including cash held to fund Reporting Costs, if any, which remain at the termination of the GUC Trust will be distributed to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims or holders of the GUC Trust Units, as the case may be. On January 20, 2012, the GUC Trust Administrator filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking, in part, authority to (i) liquidate New GM Securities in an amount sufficient to generate approximately $26.5 million to fund estimated and projected GUC Trust fees, costs and expenses for 2011 and 2012 and (ii) liquidate approximately $13.7 million of New GM Securities and transfer the resulting proceeds to the Avoidance Action Trust to fund projected costs, fees and expenses of the Avoidance Action Trust. The motion was granted on March 8, 2012 pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court (the “Sale Order”), and the associated New GM Securities were liquidated in March 2012. The GUC Trust received approximately $26.5 million of proceeds from the liquidation of New GM Securities (which amount comprises part of the GUC Trust’s present Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash) and an additional approximately $13.7 million of proceeds from the liquidation of New GM Securities to fund projected costs of the Avoidance Action Trust. To the extent that any of the Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash is not ultimately required and is held by the GUC Trust at the time of its dissolution, such remaining Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash will be distributed by the GUC Trust to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims or holders of the GUC Trust Units, as the case may be. As of June 30, 2012, New GM Securities aggregating $42.9 million have been reserved, or set aside, for projected GUC Trust fees, costs and expenses to be incurred beyond 2012. Accordingly, such New GM Securities are not available for distribution to the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust Units. The approximately $13.7 million of sale proceeds generated by the GUC Trust to fund the Avoidance Action Trust were being held by the GUC Trust at March 31, 2012 pending receipt of written confirmation from the Internal Revenue Service that the transfer of such sale proceeds would not affect its prior rulings regarding the tax characterization of (i) the 2009 section 363 sale by MLC and MLC’s subsequent liquidation and (ii) the GUC Trust as a “disputed ownership fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9. Such written confirmation was received on April 24, 2012, and such sale proceeds were transferred to the Avoidance Action Trust on May 14, 2012. *Funding for Potential Tax Liabilities* The GUC Trust is subject to U.S. federal income tax on realized gains from the disposition of shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants that were transferred by MLC to the GUC Trust on December 15, 2011 (such taxes, “Taxes on Distribution”). The GUC Trust Agreement provides that the GUC Trust Administrative Fund may not be utilized to satisfy any Taxes on Distribution. As such, the GUC Trust Administrator is authorized, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, to reserve, or set aside, from distribution an amount of New GM Securities, the liquidated proceeds of which would be sufficient to satisfy any current or potential Taxes on Distribution. The GUC Trust Administrator may then liquidate such reserved New GM Securities to fund the Taxes on Distribution, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, but without the necessity of obtaining approval of the Bankruptcy Court. New GM Securities that are reserved or sold in this manner will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units, and the cash proceeds of any such sale will be classified as “Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash” under the GUC Trust Agreement. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the GUC Trust Administrator reviewed the current and potential Taxes on Distribution. As a result of such review, the GUC Trust Administrator determined that it was necessary to reserve, or set aside, New GM Securities aggregating $150.8 million for potential Taxes on Distribution (based on the highest market prices since December 15, 2011 of New GM Securities over their tax basis at June 30, 2012 reduced by current period and carryforward net operating loss and future deductible expenses at June 30, 2012). Accordingly, such New GM Securities are not currently available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units. The GUC Trust Administrator intends to reevaluate the reserve, or set aside, of New GM Securities on a quarterly basis. The New GM Securities transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust still held at June 30, 2012 have a tax basis of approximately $1,112 million as of June 30, 2012. Such tax basis will be used to determine the taxable gain or loss on the disposition of New GM Securities since their transfer. For financial reporting purposes, the GUC Trust recorded a deferred tax asset of $15.4 million for the tax basis of New GM Securities in excess of their fair value at June 30, 2012, fully offset by a corresponding valuation allowance. See Note 8. *MLC Wind-Down* Upon the dissolution of the Debtors, which occurred on December 15, 2011, the GUC Trust became responsible for resolving and satisfying (to the extent allowed) all remaining disputed administrative expenses, priority tax claims, priority non-tax claims and secured claims (the “Residual Wind-Down Claims”). On December 15, 2011, under the Plan, the Debtors transferred to the GUC Trust an amount of cash necessary (the “Residual Wind-Down Assets”) to satisfy the ultimate allowed amount of such Residual Wind-Down Claims, as estimated by the Debtors, and the costs, fees and expenses relating to satisfying and resolving the Residual Wind-Down Claims (the “Residual Wind-Down Expenses”). Should the Residual Wind-Down Expenses and the Residual Wind-Down Claims be less than the Residual Wind-Down Assets aggregating $41,362,444 (including certain prepaid expenses assigned to the GUC Trust), any excess funds will be returned to the DIP Lenders. If at any time the GUC Trust Administrator determines that the Residual Wind-Down Assets are not adequate to satisfy the Residual Wind-Down Claims and Residual Wind-Down Expenses, such costs will be satisfied by Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash. If there is no remaining Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash, the GUC Trust Administrator is authorized to, with GUC Trust Monitor approval, reserve and, with Bankruptcy Court approval, sell New GM Securities to cover the shortfall. To the extent that New GM Securities are reserved and sold to obtain funding to complete the wind-down of the Debtors, such securities will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust. Therefore, the amount of Residual Wind-Down Claims and Residual Wind-Down Expenses could reduce the assets of the GUC Trust available for distribution. After the GUC Trust has concluded its affairs, any funds remaining that were obtained from the New GM Securities sold to fund the wind-down process or the resolution and satisfaction of the Residual Wind-Down Claims will be distributed to the holders of the GUC Trust Units. In addition, MLC transferred the remaining New GM Securities that were previously reported as Securities Due From Motors Liquidation Company to the GUC Trust and are now reported as Holdings of New GM Securities.

2. Plan of Liquidation

On March 31, 2011, the date the Plan became effective (the “Effective Date”), there were approximately $29,771 million in Allowed General Unsecured Claims. In addition, as of the Effective Date, there were approximately $8,154 million in disputed general unsecured claims which reflects liquidated disputed claims and a Bankruptcy Court ordered distribution reserve for unliquidated disputed claims (“Disputed General Unsecured Claims”), but does not reflect potential Avoidance Action General Unsecured Claims (as defined below). The total aggregate amount of general unsecured claims, both allowed and disputed, asserted against the Debtors, inclusive of the potential Avoidance Action General Unsecured Claims, was approximately $39,425 million as of the Effective Date.

Pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement, holders of Disputed General Unsecured Claims become entitled to receive a distribution of New GM Securities from the GUC Trust if, and to the extent that, such Disputed General Unsecured Claims become Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Under the GUC Trust Agreement, the GUC Trust Administrator has the authority to file objections to such Disputed General Unsecured Claims and the Bankruptcy Court has extended the time by which the GUC Trust may object to Disputed General Unsecured Claims and Administrative Expenses as defined in the Plan to September 26, 2012 (which date may be further extended by application to the Bankruptcy Court). Such claims may be prosecuted through alternative dispute resolution proceedings, including mediation and arbitration (“ADR Proceedings”), if appropriate. The GUC Trust Administrator and its professionals are currently prosecuting multiple objections to Disputed General Unsecured Claims.

To the extent that all or a portion of a Disputed General Unsecured Claim is deemed invalid—or “disallowed”—by order of the Bankruptcy Court, by order of the tribunal presiding over the ADR Proceeding (if applicable), or by settlement with the GUC Trust, such portion of the Disputed General Unsecured Claim that is disallowed is not entitled to a distribution from the GUC Trust (subject to any appeal rights of the claimant). However, to the extent that a Disputed General Unsecured Claim is fully resolved, and such resolution results in all or a portion of the original Disputed General Unsecured Claim being deemed valid—or “allowed”—by order of the Bankruptcy Court, by order of the tribunal presiding over the ADR Proceeding (if applicable), or by settlement with the GUC Trust, such portion of the Disputed General Unsecured Claim that is allowed will be considered an Allowed General Unsecured Claim and will be entitled to a distribution from the GUC Trust as if it were an Allowed General Unsecured Claim on the Effective Date (such claims, “Resolved Disputed Claims”).

Only one Avoidance Action, captioned Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation Co. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. et al., Adv. Pro. No.09-00504 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. July 31, 2009) (the “Term Loan Avoidance Action”), was commenced prior to the statutory deadline for commencing such actions. The Term Loan Avoidance Action was commenced by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation Company (the “Committee”), and seeks the return of approximately $1.5 billion that had been transferred by the Debtors (with funds advanced after the commencement of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases by the United States Treasury and Export Development Canada (together, the “DIP Lenders”)) to a consortium of prepetition lenders pursuant to the terms of the order of the Bankruptcy Court. On December 15, 2011, in accordance with the Plan, upon the dissolution of MLC, the Term Loan Avoidance Action was transferred to the Avoidance Action Trust (as defined below). To the extent that the trustee and trust administrator of the Avoidance Action Trust (the “Avoidance Action Trust Administrator”) is successful in obtaining a judgment against the defendant(s) to the Term Loan Avoidance Action, Allowed General Unsecured Claims will arise in the amount of any transfers actually avoided (that is, disgorged) pursuant thereto (such general unsecured claims “Avoidance Action General Unsecured Claims,” and together with Resolved Disputed Claims, the “Resolved Allowed Claims”).

It is still unclear whether any amounts actually avoided pursuant to the Term Loan Avoidance Action would be for the benefit of holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims.

On July 3, 2012, the district court for the Southern District of New York vacated the Bankruptcy Court’s judgment and remanded the case to the Bankruptcy Court, with instructions for the Bankruptcy Court judge to dismiss the Committee’s complaint without prejudice for want of subject matter jurisdiction. As a result of the foregoing ruling, the rights to any recoveries on the Term Loan Avoidance Action are still disputed.

GUC Trust Distributable Assets

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the distribution of 150 million shares of New GM Common Stock issued by New GM, warrants to acquire 136,363,635 newly issued shares of New GM Stock with an exercise price set at $10.00 per share (“New GM Series A Warrants”), and warrants to acquire 136,363,635 newly issued shares of New GM Stock with an exercise price set at $18.33 per share (“New GM Series B Warrants”), (such securities, “New GM Securities”). The New GM Securities were held by MLC for the benefit of the GUC Trust until the dissolution of MLC on December 15, 2011, at which time they were transferred to the GUC Trust.

In addition, the agreement governing the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Debtors and related sale documentation together provide that, in the event that the Bankruptcy Court enters an order that includes a finding that the estimated aggregate Allowed General Unsecured Claims against the Debtors exceed $35 billion, New GM will be required to issue additional shares of New GM Common Stock for the benefit of the GUC Trust’s beneficiaries (the “Additional Shares”). The number of Additional Shares to be issued will be equal to the number of such shares, rounded up to the next whole share, calculated by multiplying (i) 30 million shares (adjusted to take into account any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction with respect to such New GM Common Stock from and after the closing of such sale and before issuance of the Additional Shares) and (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the amount by which Allowed General Unsecured Claims exceed $35 billion (such excess amount being capped at $7 billion) and (B) the denominator of which is $7 billion. No Additional Shares have been issued.

Funding for GUC Trust Costs of Liquidation

The GUC Trust has and will have certain costs to liquidate the trust assets and implement the Plan. On or about the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, MLC contributed approximately $52.7 million to the GUC Trust to be held and maintained by the GUC Trust Administrator (as the “GUC Trust Administrative Fund”) for the purpose of paying certain fees and expenses incurred by the GUC Trust (including fees of the GUC Trust Administrator and the GUC Trust Monitor and the fees and expenses for professionals retained by the GUC Trust) (“Wind-Down Costs”). Cash or investments from the GUC Trust Administrative Fund, if any, which remain at the winding up and conclusion of the GUC Trust must be returned to the DIP Lenders.

Adjustments to the Reserve for Expected Costs of Liquidation as reported in the Statement of Net Assets are recorded only when the incurrence of additional costs is both estimable and probable.

In addition, in accordance with Section 2.3(e)(i) of the GUC Trust Agreement, the GUC Trust requested the sale of 87,182 shares of New GM Common Stock and 79,256 warrants of each series of New GM Warrants by MLC in order to provide additional funds for the payment of a portion of expenses related to certain regulatory reporting requirements and other actions provided for by the GUC Trust Agreement (“Reporting Costs”), including (i) those directly or indirectly relating to reports to be filed by the GUC Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or otherwise pursuant to applicable rules, regulations and interpretations of the SEC, (ii) the application to the Internal Revenue Service for a private letter ruling regarding the tax treatment of the GUC Trust and the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in respect to the distribution of New GM Securities, and (iii) the ownership dispute with respect to the Term Loan Avoidance Action. The sale, which occurred May 27, 2011, resulted in cash proceeds of approximately $5.7 million, which constituted Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash under the GUC Trust Agreement. These funds were previously maintained at MLC, but upon MLC’s dissolution on December 15, 2011, such funds were transferred to the GUC Trust and the Avoidance Action Trust. If the GUC Trust Administrator determines that the Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash is not sufficient to satisfy the current or projected Reporting Costs of the GUC Trust, the GUC Trust Administrator, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, is authorized to reserve New GM Securities to satisfy such costs. The GUC Trust Administrator may then liquidate such reserved New GM Securities to fund the Reporting Costs, with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. New GM Securities that are reserved or sold in this manner will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units. Cash or permissible investments constituting Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash, including cash held to fund Reporting Costs, if any, which remain at the termination of the GUC Trust will be distributed to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims or holders of the GUC Trust Units, as the case may be.

On January 20, 2012, the GUC Trust Administrator filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking, in part, authority to (i) liquidate New GM Securities in an amount sufficient to generate approximately $26.5 million to fund estimated and projected GUC Trust fees, costs and expenses for 2011 and 2012 and (ii) liquidate approximately $13.7 million of New GM Securities and transfer the resulting proceeds to the Avoidance Action Trust to fund projected costs, fees and expenses of the Avoidance Action Trust. The motion was granted on March 8, 2012 pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court (the “Sale Order”), and the associated New GM Securities were liquidated in March 2012. The GUC Trust received approximately $26.5 million of proceeds from the liquidation of New GM Securities (which amount comprises part of the GUC Trust’s present Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash) and an additional approximately $13.7 million of proceeds from the liquidation of New GM Securities to fund projected costs of the Avoidance Action Trust. To the extent that any of the Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash is not ultimately required and is held by the GUC Trust at the time of its dissolution, such remaining Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash will be distributed by the GUC Trust to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims or holders of the GUC Trust Units, as the case may be. As of June 30, 2012, New GM Securities aggregating $42.9 million have been reserved, or set aside, for projected GUC Trust fees, costs and expenses to be incurred beyond 2012. Accordingly, such New GM Securities are not available for distribution to the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust Units.

The approximately $13.7 million of sale proceeds generated by the GUC Trust to fund the Avoidance Action Trust were being held by the GUC Trust at March 31, 2012 pending receipt of written confirmation from the Internal Revenue Service that the transfer of such sale proceeds would not affect its prior rulings regarding the tax characterization of (i) the 2009 section 363 sale by MLC and MLC’s subsequent liquidation and (ii) the GUC Trust as a “disputed ownership fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9. Such written confirmation was received on April 24, 2012, and such sale proceeds were transferred to the Avoidance Action Trust on May 14, 2012.

Funding for Potential Tax Liabilities

The GUC Trust is subject to U.S. federal income tax on realized gains from the disposition of shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants that were transferred by MLC to the GUC Trust on December 15, 2011 (such taxes, “Taxes on Distribution”). The GUC Trust Agreement provides that the GUC Trust Administrative Fund may not be utilized to satisfy any Taxes on Distribution. As such, the GUC Trust Administrator is authorized, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, to reserve, or set aside, from distribution an amount of New GM Securities, the liquidated proceeds of which would be sufficient to satisfy any current or potential Taxes on Distribution. The GUC Trust Administrator may then liquidate such reserved New GM Securities to fund the Taxes on Distribution, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, but without the necessity of obtaining approval of the Bankruptcy Court. New GM Securities that are reserved or sold in this manner will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units, and the cash proceeds of any such sale will be classified as “Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash” under the GUC Trust Agreement.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the GUC Trust Administrator reviewed the current and potential Taxes on Distribution. As a result of such review, the GUC Trust Administrator determined that it was necessary to reserve, or set aside, New GM Securities aggregating $150.8 million for potential Taxes on Distribution (based on the highest market prices since December 15, 2011 of New GM Securities over their tax basis at June 30, 2012 reduced by current period and carryforward net operating loss and future deductible expenses at June 30, 2012). Accordingly, such New GM Securities are not currently available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units. The GUC Trust Administrator intends to reevaluate the reserve, or set aside, of New GM Securities on a quarterly basis.

The New GM Securities transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust still held at June 30, 2012 have a tax basis of approximately $1,112 million as of June 30, 2012. Such tax basis will be used to determine the taxable gain or loss on the disposition of New GM Securities since their transfer. For financial reporting purposes, the GUC Trust recorded a deferred tax asset of $15.4 million for the tax basis of New GM Securities in excess of their fair value at June 30, 2012, fully offset by a corresponding valuation allowance. See Note 8.

MLC Wind-Down

Upon the dissolution of the Debtors, which occurred on December 15, 2011, the GUC Trust became responsible for resolving and satisfying (to the extent allowed) all remaining disputed administrative expenses, priority tax claims, priority non-tax claims and secured claims (the “Residual Wind-Down Claims”). On December 15, 2011, under the Plan, the Debtors transferred to the GUC Trust an amount of cash necessary (the “Residual Wind-Down Assets”) to satisfy the ultimate allowed amount of such Residual Wind-Down Claims, as estimated by the Debtors, and the costs, fees and expenses relating to satisfying and resolving the Residual Wind-Down Claims (the “Residual Wind-Down Expenses”).

Should the Residual Wind-Down Expenses and the Residual Wind-Down Claims be less than the Residual Wind-Down Assets aggregating $41,362,444 (including certain prepaid expenses assigned to the GUC Trust), any excess funds will be returned to the DIP Lenders. If at any time the GUC Trust Administrator determines that the Residual Wind-Down Assets are not adequate to satisfy the Residual Wind-Down Claims and Residual Wind-Down Expenses, such costs will be satisfied by Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash. If there is no remaining Other GUC Trust Administrative Cash, the GUC Trust Administrator is authorized to, with GUC Trust Monitor approval, reserve and, with Bankruptcy Court approval, sell New GM Securities to cover the shortfall. To the extent that New GM Securities are reserved and sold to obtain funding to complete the wind-down of the Debtors, such securities will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust. Therefore, the amount of Residual Wind-Down Claims and Residual Wind-Down Expenses could reduce the assets of the GUC Trust available for distribution. After the GUC Trust has concluded its affairs, any funds remaining that were obtained from the New GM Securities sold to fund the wind-down process or the resolution and satisfaction of the Residual Wind-Down Claims will be distributed to the holders of the GUC Trust Units.

In addition, MLC transferred the remaining New GM Securities that were previously reported as Securities Due From Motors Liquidation Company to the GUC Trust and are now reported as Holdings of New GM Securities.
