Amendment No. 3 to

SCHEDULE TO

This Amendment No. 3 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended from time to time, the “Schedule TO”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 27, 2009, and amended on May 14, 2009 and May 19, 2009, is being filed by General Motors Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“GM”), in connection with the exchange offers by GM with respect to its 4.50% Series A Convertible Senior Debentures due March 6, 2032, 5.25% Series B Convertible Senior Debentures due March 6, 2032, 6.25% Series C Convertible Senior Debentures due July 15, 2033 and 1.50% Series D Convertible Senior Debentures due June 1, 2009 (collectively, the “convertible old notes”), and the related solicitations of consents for certain proposed amendments to the terms of the convertible old notes, including a solicitation for consents to a forbearance, waiver and extension with respect to GM’s 1.50% Series D Convertible Senior Debentures due June 1, 2009 (the “old Series D notes”). The solicitation for consents to a forbearance, waiver and extension with respect to the old Series D notes was also an exchange offer in which GM offered to exchange amended Series D notes for the old Series D notes (collectively, with the exchange offers for the convertible old notes and related solicitations, the “Exchange Offers”). The Exchange Offers were made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the prospectus, which forms part of the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by GM with the SEC on April 27, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to such registration statement filed by GM with the SEC on May 14, 2009 (including the prospectus supplement contained therein), and as supplemented by the prospectus supplement filed by GM with the SEC on May 19, 2009 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and as the same may be further amended and/or supplemented from time to time, and the related letter of transmittal, each of which are exhibits to the Schedule TO.

Items 1, 4, 5, 6 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended by adding the following: The Exchange Offers expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 26, 2009. On May 27, 2009, GM announced that the Exchange Offers would not be consummated because the minimum tender condition of the Exchange Offers as required by the U.S. Treasury and certain other conditions to the Exchange Offers had not been satisfied. No convertible old notes were purchased by GM in the Exchange Offers. No further tenders of convertible old notes will be accepted and any convertible old notes previously tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offers and not withdrawn will be promptly returned to the tendering holder thereof or credited to the account maintained at the depository from which such convertible old notes were tendered, as applicable. A copy of the press release issued by GM on May 27, 2009 with respect to the termination of the Exchange Offers is Exhibit (a)(1)(vii) hereto.
