GM-UAW 2007 National Labor Agreement Ratified by Represented Employees

DETROIT, Mich. — General Motors today confirmed that its UAW-represented employees have ratified
the GM-UAW 2007 national labor agreement. GM and the UAW reached a tentative agreement on
Wednesday, September 26, after more than two months of bargaining. The new four-year agreement
covers approximately 74,000 hourly employees located in more than 80 U.S. facilities.

“We are very pleased that our UAW-represented employees have ratified the new labor contract,” said
Rick Wagoner, GM CEO and Chairman of the Board. “I especially thank UAW President Ron Gettelfinger
and Vice President Cal Rapson, as well as the members of the GM and UAW negotiating teams, for
their hard work in reaching an innovative agreement that effectively addresses the needs of our
employees and retirees, while providing a basis for improved competitiveness that will support
future U.S. investments.”

GM intends to file a current report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission within
the next four business days that will outline the key terms of the healthcare agreement. In
addition, an analyst and media conference call is scheduled for Monday, October 15, 2007 at 9:30
a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The call can be accessed by dialing 1-800-926-5085 (or 1-212-231-2906
for international access) at least 10 minutes prior to the start time, and asking to be connected to the General
Motors conference call.

Forward Looking Statements

1

In the presentations and in related comments by General Motors' management, we will
use words like "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "evaluate," "seek," "believe,"
"potential," "design," "impact," "projection," or "pro-forma" to identify forward-looking
statements that represent our current judgments about possible future events. We believe
these judgments are reasonable, but GM's actual results may differ materially due to a
variety of important factors. Among other items, such factors include: the ability of GM to
achieve reductions in costs as a result of the turnaround restructuring and health care
cost reductions and to implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by
management; our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources and an
appropriate level of debt; costs and risks associated with litigation; changes in our
accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and our ability to make
estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates; the successful completion of
collective bargaining agreements with all unions that represent GM employees/retirees
and the legal interpretations of those agreements; labor strikes or work stoppages at GM;
and general economic conditions, in particular health care costs and investment returns.

GM's most recent annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q
provide information about these factors, which may be revised or supplemented in future
reports to the SEC on those forms.

2005 Retiree Health Care Agreement

In October 2005, announced GM-UAW Retiree Health Care
Agreement, which modified postretirement health care benefits for
UAW hourly retirees and actives

Agreement effective through September 2011

Introduced for the first time employee monthly contributions, deductibles
and co-pays, as well as prescription drug and dental coverage changes

A UAW-sponsored Mitigation VEBA was established to help defray
out-of-pocket cost impact to retirees and completely fund retiree dental
benefits

GM agreed to make three $1B contributions in 2006, 2007 and 2011

UAW agreed to defer future wage increases and a portion of future COLA
payments to Mitigation VEBA

Agreed to additional stock appreciation rights and profit sharing diversions

Agreement implemented in March 2006 upon district court approval

Based on final remeasurements related to plan changes, agreement
yielded gross $17B reduction in GM OPEB liability

6

 

	

2007 Retiree Health Care Overview

GM and UAW agree that responsibility for retiree health care will
permanently shift from GM to a new retiree plan funded by a new
Independent VEBA

Incorporates 2005 Health Care Agreement and is subject to court
approval

Implementation will be later of January 1, 2010 or date on which any
appeals or challenges to court approval are exhausted

Agreement ensures UAW may not negotiate to increase GM funding
or otherwise seek to obligate GM to:

Provide any additional contributions to the Independent VEBA

Make any other payments for the purpose of providing retiree medical
benefits

Provide retiree medical benefits through any other means

Employees may in future contribute earnings that they received from
wages, profit sharing, COLA, or signing bonuses

7

Independent VEBA Convertible Note

Independent VEBA funding includes $4.3725B convertible note at
following terms:

6.75% interest paid semi-annually

5 year maturity from issuance on 1/1/2008; callable by GM any time
after Year 3

Convertible for approximately 109 million shares based on $40
conversion price; may be converted in last six months before maturity or
when GM stock price exceeds $48

Note to be issued to a GM subsidiary and will accrue interest from
1/1/2008, but will be treated like treasury stock until assigned to
Independent VEBA on 1/1/2010*

Various key restriction covenants are included

Subject to lock-up period until 1/1/2010*

After lock-up, may sell about half of note or stock per year

Prohibition on sale of more than 2% to one holder

Trustee to vote stock in same proportion as all shareholders

13

* Or date of transfer to Independent VEBA after court and regulatory approval, if later

 

	

Change to Retiree Health Care Accounting

Generally speaking, two types of accounting treatment can be
triggered by reductions in retiree health care

Dependent largely on existence of ongoing actual or contingent
obligations or involvement on the part of the company

Other factors may also impact appropriate accounting treatment

Plan settlement - liability is entirely defeased

Liability is removed from balance sheet and taken as a one-time net gain

Plan amendment - ongoing obligations exist

Liability is reduced to the present value of future obligations; the negative
plan amendment generated by the change in the liability is amortized
over time

GM to seek SEC concurrence with accounting treatment

Expect negative plan amendment accounting to apply given structure of
proposed plan (e.g. future capped VEBA contributions)

14

 

	

Independent VEBA Accounting Impact

Under a negative plan amendment, balance sheet must
recognize net liability equal to present value of cash flows
associated with future obligations

GM's net balance sheet liability under the new plan would be
limited to GM's capped contributions to the new Independent
VEBA

Negative plan amendment arises due to cap on GM
contributions (vs. increased cost share or reduced benefits)

Requires mutual understanding with plan participants that benefits
have been reduced

Requires all employer contributions be included in initial
measurement of capped obligation

Includes contingent payments

Post-Implementation Pro-forma OPEB Liability

17

Accounting rules require the OPEB liability to be measured based on economic
conditions existing on 1/1/2010

Impossible to precisely predict future economic conditions, but net UAW hourly
health care balance sheet liability estimated to be about $6B - 13B depending on
assumptions, including FAS 106 discount rate (assumed to be 6%)

Low end of range assumes all required contributions have been made except:

PV of remaining contingent payments

PV of remaining Mitigation VEBA contribution ($1B in 2011)

7/8ths of face value of the convertible note

High end of range assumes the same items above as well as:

PV of timed additional contributions and 2005 wage/COLA deferrals

Additionally, measurement of balance sheet liability will be based on actual market
value of convertible note on 1/1/2010

Therefore, high end of liability range will increase if value of note increases

Due to market transferability restrictions on convertible note, pro-forma
1/1/2010 liability assumes 7/8ths reflected in GM's OPEB liability with remainder
carried on GM balance sheet as debt

Following maturity of convertible note in 2013, projected net OPEB liability
would range from $2B (reflecting only PV of remaining contingent payments) to
$9B (including PV of remaining base and wage/COLA payments)

 

	

Pro-forma OPEB Expense Impact

18

2008/2009:  No change in what GM's OPEB accounting otherwise
would have been

2010/2011:  Estimated annual pre-tax savings projected to be $2.6B -
$3.4B primarily due to the effect of the negative plan amendment

Significant assumptions include the following:

Negative plan amendment amortized over the remaining average period for
active UAW participants to reach full eligibility for retiree health care benefits

Assumed discount rate of 6% remains constant

Assumed market value of the convertible note at 1/1/2010 equals face value

Changes in these and other assumptions could result in a lower or
higher plan amendment

For example, if the market value of assets actually contributed on
1/1/2010 increases (e.g. due to appreciation on the convertible note),
the amount of the negative plan amendment will be lower

 

	

Cash Flow Impact of Independent VEBA

19

Incremental cash flow impact for GM includes upfront and other
ongoing cash contributions

Excludes cash flow impact of wage/COLA deferrals from 2005 Agreement
as not considered incremental

Favorable cash flow impact beginning in 2010 driven by savings of
future health care payments

GM's reported liquidity as of year-end 2007 will decline by $2.6B due
to exclusion of short-term VEBA assets

 

	

Retiree Health Care Summary

20

GM to fund an Independent VEBA trust with substantial
level of capital

After final implementation, GM no longer responsible for
providing retiree health care benefits to UAW-represented
retirees and actives

Independent VEBA assumes all future investment return
and trend risks

New hires to receive $1 per compensated hour in lieu of
postretirement health care benefits

Agreement is permanent, UAW may not negotiate further
for retiree health care benefits

Other Key Elements Overview

No annual base wage increases

Lump sum payments of $3,000 in 2007 and 3%/4%/3%
($2,600/$3,200/$2,600) performance bonus in 2008/2009/2010

COLA reduced vs. prior agreement

Approximately two-thirds retained by GM to partially offset VEBA
contributions and active health care

Significant revisions to job security language

Secured Employment Level requirements also removed

Significant time spent upfront with the UAW defining work which
would be retained vs. outsourced

Attendance Policy revisions to reduce absenteeism

Pension increases of approximately 1.3% annually per retiree
(excluding impact of VEBA-related lump sum payments)

27

 

	

Historical Wage Escalation

In exchange for additional VEBA contributions, UAW agreed to no
base wage increases for 4 years

Base wage increases in every previous contract since 1982

Wage/Benefits have historically had four major inflationary drivers:

Secured Employment Levels Eliminated

Prior Agreement contained language which calculated
specific employment levels based on UAW hourly
employee attrition

Based on complicated formula using a Benchmark Minimum
Employment Level from 1999 Agreement

2007 Agreement removes all language that requires
facilities to calculate specific employment floors

All formulas, benchmark minimums and related administration
have been eliminated

31

 

	

Upfront Sourcing Agreements

32

Housekeeping to be sub-contracted

Agreement to exit substantial portion of ~1,700 current
housekeeping functions before January 2009

Also able to sub-contract large scale construction projects
and roof/HVAC/sub-station repairs

Upfront agreement on outsourcing for core vehicle
production and non-core operations

Non-core operations will transition to Tier II wages and benefits

As part of the agreement GM agreed to:

Hire 2,800 temporary employees permanently at Tier I wage

In-source 3,000 Tier II positions if positive business case

 

	

Capacity Action Summary

33

 

	

Manufacturing Capacity Considerations

Agreement confirms GM's ability to continue implementing
capacity actions announced in 2005

Investment commitments specified at select plants
conditional on market demand, business case and GM
Board of Directors approval

14 assembly plants and 25 related powertrain and stamping
facilities

Plants without specific investment commitments will be
dependent on future market conditions and product plans

Revised job security provisions are key enablers to
managing capacity in response to market conditions

From a cost perspective, most critical aspect is ability to utilize
available workforce through timely redeployment

34

 

	

Pension Plan Revisions

35

Basic benefit increases for both current and future retirees

Current:  $2.00 increase

Future:  $2.65 increase (compares to $4.20 in 2003 agreement)

Also modest increases to "30 & out", survivor, and other benefits

Delphi covered employees granted same increases

Current retirees (including Delphi) granted lump sum
payments of a maximum of $700/year over life of
agreement

Will be covered by pension plan assets (new to this agreement)

These revisions estimated to increase YE 2007 PBO by
$4.3B

Additional $2.8B estimated increase to YE 2010 PBO associated
with pension pass-thru to Independent VEBA

Independent VEBA transfers responsibility and risk
associated with future UAW retiree health care costs away
from GM starting in 2010

New contract and labor demographics provide opportunity
for significant, operating-related, positive cash flow and
earnings

Will work with UAW leadership to determine appropriate ways to
implement sourcing agreements and transition non-core portion
of workforce
