(1) Mr. Akerson was elected Chairman on January 1, 2011. He was named CEO on September 1, 2010. He has<br />
been a member of the Board of Directors since July 24, 2009. The compensation shown in “All Other<br />
Compensation” includes fees paid to him for his service as a non-employee director and committee Chair<br />
through August 31, 2010.<br />
(2) Mr. Whitacre was Chairman and CEO until September 1, 2010, and remained on the Board of Directors as<br />
Chairman until he stepped down on January 1, 2011. The compensation shown in “All Other Compensation”<br />
includes the amount paid to him for his service as a non-employee director and Chairman fees during 2010.<br />
(3) Mr. Girsky was named Vice Chairman on March 1, 2010. He has been a member of the Board of Directors<br />
since July 10, 2009. His March 31, 2010 SSU grant made in recognition of his service as Senior Advisor to<br />
the Office of the Chairman is included in “Stock Awards” and the compensation shown in “All Other<br />
Compensation” includes fees paid to him for his service as a non-employee director through February 28,<br />
2010.<br />
(4) Mr. Liddell joined GM on January 1, 2010 and resigned from GM effective April 1, 2011.<br />
(5) Mr. Reilly’s compensation, which is paid in British Pounds, has been converted to U.S. dollars, applying a<br />
monthly foreign exchange spot rate as provided by Reuters. Amounts shown elsewhere in this proxy<br />
statement were converted using a 365-day average foreign currency exchange rate.<br />
(6) For 2010 and 2009, the amounts shown in this column reflect the value of SSUs and RSUs at their grant<br />
dates to each of the NEOs. Individual grants are discussed in the “Grants of Plan Based Awards” table on<br />
page 39. We describe the valuation assumptions used in measuring the expense in Note 31 to the<br />
consolidated financial statements, “Stock Incentive Plans” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. SSUs were<br />
awarded to NEOs in lieu of a portion of total annual cash compensation based on the most current value of<br />
the <strong>Company</strong> as determined by an independent third party through the September 30, 2010 grant date. SSUs<br />
awarded on December 31, 2010, were based on the average of the high and low trading price of Common<br />
Stock on the NYSE as of that date.<br />
