Press Release

APPALOOSA STATEMENT REGARDING GENERAL MOTORS

Short Hills, New Jersey – February 10, 2015 – Appaloosa Management L.P. today issued the following statement:

“Appaloosa supports the shareholder proposals from Harry Wilson as the Company’s best means of enhancing shareholder value and addressing an excess accumulation of unproductive cash on its balance sheet. We have in the recent past discussed a number of critical issues with GM’s management team, including the need for greater discipline and efficiency in allocating the shareholders’ capital. In addition, we highlighted the lack of transparency in GM’s executive compensation program and questioned whether it properly incents effective capital deployment. Finally, we pointed out the need for greater shareholder-oriented representation on its Board of Directors.

“We believe that Harry Wilson will be a highly effective advocate for shareholders on the Company’s Board of Directors. We invite and encourage GM to address these issues productively and refrain from acrimony.”
