DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Defendant General Motors Corporation (GM Corp.) filed for bankruptcy on June 1, 2009. The United States Department of the Treasury (U.S. Treasury) provided$30.1 billion under a debtor-in-possession (DIP) credit agreement to assist GM Corp.through the restructuring period. The new entity that emerged from bankruptcy,General Motors Company (GM), began operating on July 10, 2009, following its pur-chase of most of the assets of GM Corp. At that time, U.S. Treasury converted mostof its loans to 60.8 percent of the common stock and $2.1 billion in preferred stock inthe new entity. GM also assumed $7.1 billion of the DIP loans. GM currently has thefollowing ownership: U.S. Treasury (60.8 percent), GM Voluntary Employee Benefit Association (17.5 percent), the Canadian Government (11.7 percent), and GM Corp.’sunsecured bondholders (10 percent). GM Corp., now known as Motors LiquidationCompany, remains in bankruptcy and retains certain rights and liabilities that did nottransfer to GM as part of the reorganization. GM is not a party to this suit; U.S. Trea-sury is a creditor of Motors Liquidation Company but has no ownership interesttherein.i
