|
IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MEMBERS OF THE
GROUP
Canada GEN is a party to a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”), dated as of October 15, 2009, by and among the Company, the United States Department of the Treasury (“UST”), 7176384 Canada Inc. (the predecessor in interest to Canada GEN), UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (“VEBA”) and, solely for the purposes of Section 6.20 thereof, General Motors LLC. The Stockholders Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.8 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K (File No. 333-160471) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2009.
The Stockholders Agreement obligates Canada GEN to vote in favor of VEBA’s nominee to the board of directors of the Company for so long as VEBA holds at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock it held in its initial investment in the Company. The Stockholders Agreement permits UST and Canada GEN to propose a slate of candidates for election to the board of directors of the Company and permits Canada GEN to participate in any such proposal by nominating candidates in proportion to its holdings in the Company (such process, the “Joint Slate Procedure”). In the event of a Joint Slate Procedure, Canada GEN and UST each agree to vote “for” the joint slate of candidates that has been nominated. The Stockholders Agreement also prohibits UST, Canada GEN and VEBA from transferring all or any portion of their Common Stock or warrants without the consent of the Company’s board of directors to either (i) any person or group who would thereafter beneficially own more than 10% of the Common Stock, or (ii) any automotive vehicle manufacturer or affiliate thereof.
Canada GEN and VEBA collectively have beneficially ownership of 345,689,291 shares of Common Stock, including VEBA’s ownership of 45,454,545 warrants each exercisable for one share of Common Stock (each a “Warrant”). This represents 21.5% of the outstanding Common Stock based on a total of 1,606,054,545 shares of Common Stock outstanding (including 45,454,545 unissued shares for which the Warrants are exchangeable). The Common Stock ownership reported by Canada GEN does not include any Common Stock owned by the other parties to the Stockholders Agreement, except to the extent already disclosed in this Schedule 13G.
