ITEM 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities

     Pursuant to an agreement entered into on September 23, 2008 (the “Agreement”), on September 26, 2008 General Motors Corporation (“GM”) issued an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $1 2/3 per share (the “Common Stock) in exchange for $176,417,800 principal amount of its 1.50% Series D Convertible Senior Debentures due 2009 (the “Debentures”), beneficially owned by a qualified institutional holder of the Debentures. The Agreement provided that the amount of Common Stock GM exchanged for the Debentures was based on the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) during a three day pricing period.

     GM did not receive any cash proceeds as a result of the exchange of its Common Stock for the Debentures, which Debentures have been retired and cancelled. GM entered into the Agreement to reduce its debt and interest costs, increase its equity and, thereby, improve its liquidity.

     The issuance of the Common Stock as described above was made by GM pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, contained in Section 3(a)(9) of such act on the basis that this offer constituted an exchange with an existing holder of GM securities and no commission or other remuneration was paid to any party for soliciting such exchange.

     GM will from time to time consider entering into additional exchanges of the type mentioned above on an opportunistic basis.
