GREENLIGHT RELEASES INVESTOR PRESENTATION TO GM SHAREHOLDERS

NEW YORK – May 11, 2017 – Greenlight Capital, Inc. (“Greenlight”), which owns 3.6% of the common stock of General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) making it GM’s fifth largest public shareholder, today released a detailed presentation to GM’s shareholders in connection with its nomination of three directors for election to the Board of Directors at GM’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled to take place on June 6, 2017.

The presentation explains how GM can unlock substantial value by adopting Greenlight’s proposal to split GM’s common stock into two classes: one that would receive the current dividends and one that would participate in the remaining earnings and cash flows and future growth of the Company. The presentation also details the qualifications of Greenlight’s director nominees and the rationale for bringing a fresh perspective and new ideas to GM’s Board.

In the presentation, Greenlight highlights and further discusses several key points, including:

· GM is substantially undervalued and has the lowest price-to-earnings ratio of any company in the S&P 500 index

· Greenlight believes implementing the proposal would result in a 26% to 76% increase in in GM’s share price

· The proposal would not impact GM’s existing financial policy or operational strategy

· The credit rating red herring, in which GM is attempting to manipulate both the rating agencies and its own shareholders to protect the status quo

· Greenlight’s nominees would bring substantially more capital markets understanding, financial sophistication and shareholder value-creation experience to the Board than the three incumbent directors they would replace

· After years of barely generating any return for shareholders, GM needs directors with demonstrable track records of driving significant shareholder returns

The presentation – and related audio commentary by Greenlight President David Einhorn – is available at: www.UnlockGMValue.com.
