(1) The Common Stock reported in this item includes 21,071 Salary Stock Units ("SSUs") granted pursuant to the Company's Salary Stock Plan (the "GMSSP") between June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011. Each SSU is the economic equivalent of one share of Common Stock. The SSUs were fully vested upon grant and will be delivered in the form of Common Stock in three equal, annual installments beginning a year after the date of the grant.
(2) The SSUs reported in this item were granted on March 31, 2010.
(3) At the time the SSUs were granted, it was possible under the terms of the GMSSP that the SSUs would be settled by the delivery of cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the GMSSP) of the Common Stock as of the applicable anniversary of the SSU's grant.
(4) The SSUs were fully vested upon grant. The SSUs do not have an expiration or exercise date or carry a conversion or exercise price.
(5) The SSUs reported in this item were granted on June 30, 2010.
(6) The SSUs reported in this item were granted on September 30, 2010.

(9) The Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") reported in this item were awarded on March 15, 2010 pursuant to the General Motors Company 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "GMLTIP").
(10) Each RSU represents a right to receive one share of the Common Stock upon settlement. Under the GMLTIP, the RSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the award date provided the employee remains continuously employed through that date. RSU awards will be settled when they vest except that until all GM's obligations under Treasury Regulation 31 CFR 30.1 (Q-1) (the "TARP Obligations") have been repaid, awards will be settled after vesting in increments of 25% for each 25% of the TARP Obligations that have been repaid.
