The Filing Persons have decided not to pursue the acquisition of additional shares of General Motors common stock. The Filing Persons will continue to review their investment in General Motors and may determine, based on market and general economic conditions, the business affairs and financial condition of General Motors, the market price of its shares and other factors deemed relevant by the Filing Persons, to acquire or dispose of additional shares.
