ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On June 25, 2015 General Motors Company (GM) Vice President, Controller & Chief Accounting Officer Thomas Timko gave a presentation to financial analysts which covered an overview of GM's financial reporting practices and policies. The presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
ITEM 8.01 Other Events
During the presentation Mr. Timko announced that GM has determined that it will change the exchange rate used for remeasuring the net assets of its Venezuelan subsidiaries to the Sistema Marginal de Divisas (SIMADI) rate of approximately BsF 200 to $1.00 from the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (SICAD) rate of BsF 12 to $1.00. The SIMADI rate is considered more reflective of economic reality in Venezuela and future transactions at the SICAD rate appear highly unlikely. As a result GM expects to record a pre-tax charge of approximately $600 million primarily related to this remeasurement in Automotive cost of sales in the second quarter of 2015. The remeasurement charge will be treated as special for EBIT-adjusted reporting purposes. GM does not expect this decision to impact its South American or Venezuelan operating results, nor does it believe it will affect 2015 adjusted free cash flows.
