(1) Employee stock option granted pursuant to Rule 16b-3 qualified General Motors Long-Term Incentive Plan. Stock options vest and become exercisable in three equal annual installments, commencing, respectively, one, two and three years from the date of initial grant. Date shown in Column 6 of Table II is the date the first installment becomes/became exercisable.
(2) Restricted Stock Units ("RSU") granted pursuant to Rule 16b-3 qualified General Motors Cash Based Restricted Stock Unit Plan. Each Restricted Stock Unit is the economic equivalent of one share of General Motors common stock. If General Motors pays a dividend, dividend equivalents are earned on each undelivered Restricted Stock Unit. The RSUs are denominated in stock units but are paid in cash in three annual installments commencing, respectively, one, two and three years from the date of initial grant. Date shown in Column 6 of Table II is the date the first installment is/was payable. The price of zero in Table II is notional and only used for purposes of facilitating the electronic filing of this Form. Pursuant to the terms of the United States Treasury Loan Agreement with General Motors, RSU installments due to be delivered in 2009 were not made as originally scheduled pending review with the United States Treasury.
