Descrizione dettagliata General Motors è una multinazionale automobilistica statunitense che progetta, produce e commercializza veicoli a motore e pezzi di ricambio.

**Obbligazione General Motors: Analisi Approfondita di un Titolo di Debito Corporate** Si esamina un'obbligazione di tipo corporate emessa da General Motors, uno dei colossi dell'industria automobilistica globale, con l'obiettivo di fornire un quadro dettagliato delle sue caratteristiche principali e del contesto in cui si inserisce. General Motors (GM), con sede negli Stati Uniti, è un'azienda di rilevanza mondiale che progetta, produce e commercializza un'ampia gamma di veicoli, inclusi automobili, camion, SUV e veicoli crossover, operando anche nel settore dei servizi finanziari attraverso la sua sussidiaria GM Financial. La sua lunga storia e la sua posizione di leader nel settore la rendono un emittente significativo nel panorama finanziario internazionale, con un impegno crescente nello sviluppo di tecnologie innovative come la mobilità elettrica e la guida autonoma. Il titolo di debito in questione è identificato dal codice ISIN US37045VAZ31 e dal codice CUSIP 37045VAZ3, ed è stato emesso negli Stati Uniti. L'obbligazione è denominata in Dollari Statunitensi (USD) e offre un tasso d'interesse annuale fisso del 5.6%. I pagamenti degli interessi sono previsti con una frequenza semestrale (due volte all'anno). La scadenza del titolo è fissata per il 15 ottobre 2032, rendendola un'obbligazione a medio-lungo termine. Attualmente, il prezzo di mercato dell'obbligazione si attesta al 100% del valore nominale, indicando che il titolo è scambiato alla pari. La dimensione totale dell'emissione è pari a 1.250.000.000 USD (un miliardo e duecentocinquanta milioni di dollari), confermando la rilevanza di questa operazione sul mercato del debito. L'investimento minimo richiesto per l'acquisto è di 2.000 USD, rendendo il titolo potenzialmente accessibile a diverse categorie di investitori. Per quanto riguarda il merito di credito dell'emittente, l'obbligazione beneficia di valutazioni da parte di primarie agenzie di rating internazionali. Standard & Poor's (S&P) ha assegnato all'emissione un rating di BBB, mentre Moody's ha attribuito un rating di Baa3. Entrambi i rating rientrano nella categoria "investment grade", suggerendo che General Motors possiede una solida capacità di far fronte ai propri obblighi finanziari, sebbene con un grado di sensibilità leggermente superiore a condizioni economiche avverse rispetto ai rating più elevati all'interno della stessa categoria. Questa emissione rappresenta dunque un'opportunità di investimento a reddito fisso per coloro che cercano esposizione al settore automobilistico, con caratteristiche ben definite e un profilo di rischio valutato da entità indipendenti.

specified in this Supplemental Indenture. All other terms used in this Supplemental Indenture that are defined in the Base Indenture, either directly or by
reference therein (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context of this Supplemental Indenture otherwise requires), have the
respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Base Indenture, as in force at the date of this Supplemental Indenture as originally executed; provided
that any term that is defined in both the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to such term in this
Supplemental Indenture;
(b) the singular includes the plural, and vice versa; and
(c) headings are for convenience of reference only and do not affect interpretation.

Section 1.02. Relationship with Base Indenture. The terms and provisions contained in the Base Indenture will constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture. However, to the extent any provision of the Base Indenture conflicts with the express provisions of this
Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling (including for all purposes of Section 113 of the
Base Indenture in respect of the Notes).
ARTICLE 2

2029 Notes pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 311, 906 or 1106 of the Base Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the

the form of Global Securities.

Section 2.10. Waiver of Certain Covenants. Without in any way limiting the applicability of Section 1006 of the Base Indenture with respect to the
Notes, the Company may, with respect to the 2029 Notes or 2032 Notes, also omit in a particular instance to comply with any term, provision or
condition set forth in Article 3 of this Supplemental Indenture, if, before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes or 2032 Notes, respectively, at the time Outstanding shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such
term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver becomes effective, the obligations of the Company and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall affect the
Company's requirement to comply with Section 513 of the Base Indenture with respect to waivers of past defaults under the Base Indenture.
Section 2.11. Defeasance. The Company may elect, at its option at any time, pursuant to Section 402 of the Base Indenture, to have Section 403 or
Section 404 in the Base Indenture, or both, apply to the 2029 Notes or 2032 Notes, respectively, or any principal amount thereof. Without in any way
limiting the applicability of Section 404 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes, upon the Company's exercise of its option to have Section 404
of the Base Indenture applied to all of the Outstanding 2029 Notes or 2032 Notes, (1) the Company shall also be deemed to be released from and may
omit to comply with its obligations under the covenants contained in Article 3 of this Supplemental Indenture with respect to the 2029 Notes or 2032
Notes, respectively, and (2) the failure to comply with any such obligation, covenant, restriction, term or other provision shall not constitute (and shall
be deemed not to be or result in) an Event of Default under Section 501(4) or Section 501(7) of the Base Indenture, in each case with respect to the 2029
Notes or 2032 Notes, respectively, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 405 of the Base Indenture are satisfied.
Section 2.12. Guarantees. None of the 2029 Notes or 2032 Notes shall be guaranteed by any Person.
ARTICLE 3
COVENANTS
Section 3.01. Additional Covenants. In addition to the covenants stated in Article Ten of the Base Indenture, the Notes will be subject to the
covenants set forth in Sections 3.03 and 3.04 below. For the avoidance of doubt, the covenants set forth in Sections 3.03 and 3.04 below are solely for
the benefit of the Holders of the 2029 Notes and 2032 Notes, and are not for the benefit of, or applicable to, any other debt securities issued under the
Base Indenture or any other supplemental indenture.
Section 3.02. Definitions. The following definitions shall be applicable to Sections 3.03 and 3.04 below:
5


"Attributable Debt" means, at the time of determination as to any lease, the present value (discounted at the actual rate, if stated, or, if no rate is
stated, the implicit rate of interest of such lease transaction as determined by the Company's Chairman, President or any Vice Chairman, the Company's
Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, the Company's Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer), calculated using the interval of scheduled rental
payments under such lease, of the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of such lease (excluding any subsequent
renewal or other extension options held by the lessee). The term "net rental payments" means, with respect to any lease for any period, the sum of the
rental and other payments required to be paid in such period by the lessee thereunder, but not including, however, any amounts required to be paid by
such lessee (whether or not designated as rental or additional rental) on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates,
indemnities or similar charges required to be paid by such lessee thereunder or any amounts required to be paid by such lessee thereunder contingent
upon the amount of sales, earnings or profits or of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates, indemnities or similar charges;
provided, however, that, in the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty in an amount which is less than the
total discounted net rental payments required to be paid from the later of the first date upon which such lease may be so terminated and the date of the
determination of net rental payments, "net rental payments" shall include the then current amount of such penalty from the later of such two dates, and
shall exclude the rental payments relating to the remaining period of the lease commencing with the later of such two dates.
"Consolidated Tangible Assets" means, on the date of determination, total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries, in each case as set forth on the most recently available consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
"Debt" means notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed.
"Manufacturing Subsidiary" means any Subsidiary (A) substantially all the property of which is located within the continental United States of
America, (B) which owns a Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property and (C) in which the Company's investment, direct or indirect and whether in
the form of equity, debt, advances or otherwise, is in excess of $2,500,000,000 as shown on the consolidated books of the Company as of the end of the
fiscal year immediately preceding the date of determination; provided, however, that "Manufacturing Subsidiary" shall not include any Subsidiary which
is principally engaged in leasing or in financing installment receivables or otherwise providing financial or insurance services to the Company or others
or which is principally engaged in financing the Company's operations outside the continental United States of America.
"Mortgage" means any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, conditional sale or other title retention agreement or other similar encumbrance.
6


"Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property" means all real property located within the continental United States of America and constituting
part of any manufacturing plant or facility owned and operated by the Company or any Manufacturing Subsidiary, together with such manufacturing
plant or facility (including all plumbing, electrical, ventilating, heating, cooling, lighting and other utility systems, ducts and pipes attached to or
constituting a part thereof, but excluding all trade fixtures (unless such trade fixtures are attached to the manufacturing plant or facility in a manner that
does not permit removal therefrom without causing substantial damage thereto), business machinery, equipment, motorized vehicles, tools, supplies and
materials, security systems, cameras, inventory and other personal property and materials), unless, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the
Company, such manufacturing plant or facility is not of material importance to the total business conducted by the Company and its consolidated
affiliates as an entity.
"Subsidiary" means any corporation of which at least a majority of the outstanding stock having by the terms thereof ordinary voting power to
elect a majority of the board of directors of such corporation (irrespective of whether or not at the time stock of any other class or classes of such
corporation shall have or might have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency) is at the time owned by the Company, or by one or
more Subsidiaries, or by the Company and one or more Subsidiaries.
Section 3.03. Limitation on Liens. For the benefit of the Notes, the Company will not, nor will the Company permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary
to, issue or assume any Debt secured by a Mortgage upon any Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property of the Company or any Manufacturing
Subsidiary or upon any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Manufacturing Subsidiary (whether such Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property,
shares of stock or indebtedness are now owned or hereafter acquired) without in any such case effectively providing concurrently with the issuance or
assumption of any such Debt that the Notes (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness of the Company or such
Manufacturing Subsidiary ranking equally with the Notes and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with such Debt,
unless the aggregate amount of Debt issued or assumed and so secured by Mortgages, together with all other Debt of the Company and its
Manufacturing Subsidiaries which (if originally issued or assumed at such time) would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, but not
including Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (i) through (vii) of the immediately following paragraph, does not at the time exceed 15% of the
Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Company.
The above restrictions shall not apply to Debt secured by:
(i) Mortgages on property, shares of stock or indebtedness of any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Manufacturing
Subsidiary;
(ii) Mortgages on property existing at the time of acquisition thereof or to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase or
construction price of property, or to secure Debt incurred for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase or construction price of property
or the cost of improvements on property, which Debt is incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days after the later of such acquisition or
completion of such improvements or construction or commencement of full operation of such property;
