ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

   On June 6, 2000,  General  Motors  Corporation  (GM)  issued a press  release
announcing  that GM  declared a  three-for-one  stock split of GM Class H common
stock. The release is as follows:

GM ANNOUNCES THREE-FOR-ONE SPLIT OF CLASS H STOCK

WILMINGTON,  Del. - The General Motors Corp.  (NYSE: GM, GMH) Board of Directors
today declared a three-for-one stock split of GM Class H common stock. The stock
split will be in the form of a 200 percent stock  dividend,  payable on June 30,
2000 to GM Class H stockholders of record on June 13, 2000.

"The split will make the Class H stock  substantially more liquid and accessible
to a broader range of investors,"  said General  Motors  Chairman John F. Smith,
Jr. "We believe that the appreciation in the value of the Class H stock has made
this the right course of action." The board's  announcement  follows stockholder
approval,  received at this  morning's  GM annual  stockholders'  meeting,  of a
management  proposal to increase the number of  authorized  shares of GM Class H
common stock from 600 million shares to 3.6 billion shares. An amendment to GM's
certificate of incorporation implementing the increase was filed today.

GM announced,  in February 2000, a broad  restructuring of its economic interest
in Hughes in order for GM and its  stockholders  to realize more of the economic
value of Hughes.  General Motors repurchased about 14 percent of its outstanding
GM $1-2/3 par value  common stock using  approximately  $9 billion of GM Class H
common stock through a successful  exchange offer completed in May 2000.  During
the second  quarter of 2000,  GM also  plans to  contribute  up to $7 billion of
Class H stock to certain of its employee benefit plans.

GM's  Class H stock  is a  tracking  stock  designed  to  provide  holders  with
financial  returns  based on the  financial  performance  of Hughes  Electronics
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors.
