FORWARD-LOOK I N G ST AT EM EN T S
Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements represent
our current judgment about possible future events and are often identified by words like "aim," "anticipate," "appears,"
"approximately," "believe," "continue," "could," "designed," "effect," "estimate," "evaluate," "expect," "forecast," "goal," "initiative,"
"intend," "may," "objective," "outlook," "plan," "potential," "priorities," "project," "pursue," "seek," "should," "target," "when," "will,"
"would," or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions. In making these statements, we rely on assumptions and
analysis based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well
as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these
statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and our actual results may differ materially due to a variety of
important factors, both positive and negative. These factors, which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports we file
with the SEC, include, among others, the following:

·
our ability to deliver new products, services and customer experiences in response to increased competition in the

automotive industry;

·
our ability to timely fund and introduce new and improved vehicle models that are able to attract a sufficient number of

consumers;


·
the success of our crossovers, SUVs and full-size pickup trucks;

·
the unique technological, operational, regulatory and competitive risks related to the timing and commercialization of

autonomous vehicles;


·
global automobile market sales volume, which can be volatile;


·
our significant business in China, which is subject to unique operational, competitive, regulatory and economic risks;


·
our joint ventures, which we cannot operate solely for our benefit and over which we may have limited control;

·
the international scale and footprint of our operations, which exposes us to a variety of unique political, economic,
competitive and regulatory risks, including the risk of changes in government leadership and laws (including labor, tax
and other laws), political instability and economic tensions between governments and changes in international trade
policies, new barriers to entry and changes to or withdrawals from free trade agreements, public health crises, including

the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness (such as the novel coronavirus), changes in foreign exchange rates
and interest rates, economic downturns in foreign countries, differing local product preferences and product requirements,
compliance with U.S. and foreign countries' export controls and economic sanctions, differing labor regulations,
requirements and union relationships, differing dealer and franchise regulations and relationships, and difficulties in
obtaining financing in foreign countries;


·
any significant disruption, including any work stoppages, at any of our manufacturing facilities;

S-iii
Table of Contents
·
the ability of our suppliers to deliver parts, systems and components without disruption and at such times to allow us to

meet production schedules;


·
prices of raw materials used by us and our suppliers;

·
our highly competitive industry, which is characterized by excess manufacturing capacity and the use of incentives, and

the introduction of new and improved vehicle models by our competitors;

·
the possibility that competitors may independently develop products and services similar to ours, or that our intellectual

property rights are not sufficient to prevent competitors from developing or selling those products or services;

·
our ability to manage risks related to security breaches and other disruptions to our information technology systems and

networked products, including connected vehicles and in-vehicle systems;

·
our ability to comply with increasingly complex, restrictive and punitive regulations relating to our enterprise data

practices, including the collection, use, sharing and security of the Personal Identifiable Information of our customers,
employees, or suppliers;

our ability to comply with extensive laws, regulations and policies applicable to our operations and products, including

those relating to fuel economy and emissions and autonomous vehicles;


·
costs and risks associated with litigation and government investigations;


·
the costs and effect on our reputation of product safety recalls and alleged defects in products and services;


·
any additional tax expense or exposure;

·
any significant increase in our pension funding requirements.
For a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2019, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, including Forms 10-Q and 8-K.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as
well as all of the forward-looking statements incorporated by reference to our filings under the Exchange Act, are qualified by these
cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments that we anticipate will be realized or,
even if realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on us and our subsidiaries or our businesses or
operations. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update
publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or other factors
that affect the subject of these statements, except where we are expressly required to do so by law.

Financial Company, Inc. ("GM Financial").

Our automotive operations meet the demands of our customers through our automotive segments: GM North America
(GMNA) and GM International (GMI). GMNA meets the demands of customers in North America with vehicles developed,
manufactured and/or marketed under the Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC brands. GMI primarily meets the demands of
customers outside North America with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet,
GMC and Holden brands. We also have equity ownership stakes in entities that meet the demands of customers in other
countries, primarily in China, with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the Baojun, Buick, Cadillac,
Chevrolet, and Wuling brands.
In addition to the vehicles we sell through our dealer network to retail customers, we also sell vehicles directly or through

FICO score or its equivalent of less than 620 who have limited access to automobile financing through banks and credit unions

and is expected to sustain a higher level of credit losses than prime lending.
GM Financial generally seeks to fund its operations in each country through local sources to minimize currency and
country risk. GM Financial primarily finances its loan, lease and commercial origination volume through the use of secured and
unsecured credit facilities, through securitization transactions and through the issuance of unsecured debt in public markets.

and includes autonomous vehicle-related engineering and other costs.

Following the consummation of this offering, we expect to enter into a new 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement with
JPMorgan Chase, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders to be named therein (the "New 364-Day Revolving
Facility"), subject to certain closing conditions, including the (i) pricing of the Notes in this offering with aggregate principal
amount of at least $3.0 billion and (ii) acceleration of a $1.0 billion reduction in our $3.0 billion, 3-year facility from July 2020 to
the closing date of the New 364-Day Revolving Facility. We expect the New 364-Day Revolving Facility to be unsecured and
to provide available borrowing capacity of approximately $2.0 billion in U.S. Dollars only, and we have received commitments
from lenders in excess of this amount. We expect the New 364-Day Revolving Facility will be generally consistent with the
terms of our existing revolving credit facilities. However, we expect the New 364-Day Revolving Facility will (i) include more
restrictive limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness than our existing revolving credit facilities, (ii) require us to repay
borrowings and/or reduce commitments under the New 364-Day Revolving Facility (not below $1.0 billion) with or equal to
50% of the net cash proceeds of any future term loan debt and capital markets transactions incurred by GM (subject to certain
customary exceptions for maturing or refinancing debt) and (iii) prevent us from drawing on the facility unless our available
automotive cash drops below a specified amount. There can be no assurance that we will enter into the New 364-Day
Revolving Facility on terms favorable to us or at all.

It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor

market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties
to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who
wish to trade the Notes on the date of pricing will be required, by virtue of the
fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement
cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers
of the Notes who wish to trade those Notes on the date of pricing should
consult their own advisor.

The Notes will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.
The Notes will be obligations exclusively of General Motors Company and not any of our subsidiaries, and none of our
subsidiaries will guarantee the Notes. We are a holding company and, accordingly, substantially all of our operations are conducted
through subsidiaries, which are separate and distinct legal entities. Our subsidiaries have no obligation to pay any amounts due
under the Notes or to provide us with funds to pay our obligations, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. All
claims of creditors (including secured and unsecured creditors and general trade creditors) and preferred stockholders of our
subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets of such subsidiaries over our claims (and therefore the claims of our
creditors, including holders of the Notes) as an equity holder of such subsidiaries. Consequently, the Notes will be structurally
subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that we may in the future acquire or
create. Furthermore, even if we were a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our rights as a creditor would be effectively subordinated
to any security interest in the assets of those subsidiaries and would be subordinate to any indebtedness of those subsidiaries
senior to that held by us. As of March 31, 2020, we had total consolidated liabilities of approximately $202.3 billion (including
consolidated indebtedness of approximately $126.5 billion), of which $29.9 billion constitutes indebtedness of General Motors
Company (parent company only) under our revolving credit facilities and our existing floating rate senior notes due 2020, floating
rate senior notes due 2021, 4.875% senior notes due 2023, 4.000% senior notes due 2025, 4.200% senior notes due 2027,
5.000% senior notes due 2028, 5.000% senior notes due 2035, 6.600% senior notes due 2036, 5.150% senior notes due 2038,
6.250% senior notes due 2043, 5.200% senior notes due 2045, 6.750% senior notes due 2046, 5.400% senior notes due 2048 and
5.950% senior notes due 2049 and substantially all of the remainder of which are liabilities of our subsidiaries. Furthermore, the
credit agreements governing our revolving credit facilities (which provide for borrowings of up to $19.5 billion, of which $15.9 billion
was drawn as of March 31, 2020) provide that, during any period in which our long term corporate credit rating is rated below
investment grade by at least two of Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Ratings Service or Fitch Ratings, certain of
our domestic subsidiaries must guarantee the obligations of General Motors Company under such revolving credit facilities. In such
event, the Notes would be structurally subordinated to the obligations of such subsidiaries under our revolving credit facilities.

We conduct substantially all of our operations through our subsidiaries and depend on cash flow from our subsidiaries to
meet our obligations. Your right to receive payments on the Notes could be adversely affected if any of our subsidiaries
becomes unable to distribute cash to us.
Because we are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through subsidiaries, our cash flow and
ability to service debt, including the Notes and $29.9 billion of other senior notes and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities,
will depend to a significant extent on the generation of cash flow by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to
us, whether by dividends, distributions or other payments. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and will have no
obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the Notes or to make any funds available therefor. The
financial condition and operating requirements of our subsidiaries may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries. For
example, disruptions in economic activity resulting from the recent outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) may have an adverse
impact on our subsidiaries' industries, their supply chains, their manufacturing operations and facilities, and/or their workforces. See
"Risk Factors--The COVID-19 pandemic may disrupt our business and operations, which could materially adversely impact our
business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2020. In addition, provisions of law, such as those requiring that dividends be paid only from surplus, could limit the
ability of our subsidiaries to make payments or other distributions to us. Furthermore, our subsidiaries could in certain
circumstances agree to contractual restrictions on their ability to make distributions. In the event that we do not receive distributions
from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to make required payments on our obligations, including the Notes.
The limited covenants in the Indenture that will govern the Notes will not provide protection against many types of
important corporate events and may not protect your investment.
The Indenture will not:

·
require us to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flow or liquidity and,

accordingly, will not protect holders of the Notes in the event that we experience significant adverse changes in our
financial condition or results of operations;

·
restrict our subsidiaries' ability to issue securities or otherwise incur indebtedness (other than certain secured

indebtedness) that would be senior in right of payment to our equity interests in our subsidiaries and therefore would be
structurally senior to the Notes;

·
entirely limit our ability to incur secured indebtedness that would effectively rank senior to the Notes to the extent of the

value of the assets securing the indebtedness;

·
limit our ability to incur indebtedness that is equal or subordinate in right of payment to the Notes (other than certain

secured indebtedness);


·
restrict our ability to repurchase our equity securities or prepay our other indebtedness;

·
restrict our ability to make investments or pay dividends or make other payments in respect of our equity securities or our

other indebtedness;


·
restrict our ability to enter into highly leveraged transactions; or


·
require us to make an offer to repurchase the Notes in the event of a change in control transaction.

Table of Contents
As a result of the foregoing, when evaluating the terms of the Notes, you should be aware that the terms of the Indenture and
the Notes will not restrict our ability to engage in, or to otherwise be a party to, a variety of corporate transactions, circumstances
and events, such as certain acquisitions, refinancings or recapitalizations, that could substantially and adversely affect our capital
structure and the value of the Notes.
Although the Notes are referred to as "senior notes," the Notes will be unsecured and will be effectively subordinated to
any of our secured debt.
The Notes will be our unsecured general obligations and will be effectively subordinated to any existing or future secured debt
obligations that we may incur to the extent of the value of the assets securing that debt. If we are involved in a bankruptcy,
liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding, or upon a default in payment on, or the acceleration of, our secured
debt, our assets will be available to pay obligations on the Notes only after all secured debt has been paid in full from the assets
securing such debt. We may not have sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of the Notes then outstanding.
If we default or any of our subsidiaries defaults on obligations to pay indebtedness, we may not be able to make
payments on the Notes.
Any default under agreements governing our indebtedness or the indebtedness of our subsidiaries, including any default
under our three-year, $4.0 billion revolving credit facility, our five-year, $10.5 billion revolving credit facility, our 364-day
$1.95 billion revolving credit facility, our three-year, $3.0 billion revolving credit facility or any future revolving credit facility that we
may enter into, including the New 364-Day Revolving Facility, by us or certain of our subsidiaries, that is not waived by the
required lenders, and the remedies sought by the holders of such indebtedness, could prevent us from making (or adversely affect
our ability to make) required payments on the Notes and could substantially decrease the market value of the Notes. If we or our
subsidiaries are unable to generate sufficient cash flows and we or they are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet
required payments on our or their indebtedness, or if we or they otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including any
financial and operating covenants, in the instruments governing such indebtedness, we or they could be in default under the terms
of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness could, among other
things, elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable and/or terminate their funding commitments, and
we or our subsidiaries could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. A default under our or our subsidiaries' other indebtedness will
not constitute a default under the Notes.
There are currently no markets for the Notes, and we cannot assure you that active trading markets for the Notes will
develop.
The Notes will be new securities for which there currently are no established markets. The Notes will not be listed on any
securities exchange. We can give you no assurance as to whether any trading markets for the Notes will ever develop or continue,
as to your ability to sell the Notes or as to the prices at which you may be able to sell your Notes. The liquidity of any market for
the Notes of each series will depend on a number of factors, including the number of holders of the Notes, prevailing interest rates,
