FORT WORTH, TEXAS Oct. 21, 2010 – GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC., formerly known as AmeriCredit Corp. (“GM Financial” or the “Company”), today announced that it has caused the Fundamental Change Company Notice and Notice of Conversion Procedure (the “Notice”) to be mailed to the holders of notes issued pursuant to the indenture relating to its 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2011 and the indenture relating to its 2.125% convertible senior notes due 2013 (collectively, the “Notes”). This Notice was mailed as a result of the Fundamental Change that occurred upon the consummation of the merger (the “Merger”) pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 21, 2010, among General Motors Holdings LLC (“Holdings”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors Company, Goalie Texas Holdco Inc. (“Goalie”), and the Company, whereby the Company survived the Merger with Goalie and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of General Motors Company.

As a result of the Merger, the holders of Notes may exercise their conversion rights and also have the right to require the Company to repurchase their Notes in accordance with the terms of the respective indenture under which the Notes were issued. The Notice sets forth, among other things, that the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is December 10, 2010, and that the repurchase rights expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 9, 2010. The Notice also sets forth the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the procedures for exercising the conversion rights and repurchase rights. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (or portions thereof) to be repurchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company previously disclosed the adjustment to the conversion rates of the Notes in connection with the Merger. In order to be entitled to such increase in the conversion rate, a holder of Notes must surrender the Notes for conversion on or before December 9, 2010.
