ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS


The Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of April 2, 2006 (the "Agreement") by
and among General Motors Corporation ("GM"), General Motors Acceptance
Corporation ("GMAC"), GM Finance Co Holdings Inc., and FIM Holdings LLC (the
"Purchaser") sets forth a number of conditions to the Purchaser's obligation to
consummate the contemplated acquisition of 51% of the common limited liability
company interests of GMAC, following its conversion to a limited liability
company (the "GMAC Transaction"). These conditions include, among others,
reasonable satisfaction by the members of the Purchaser (the "LLC Members"),
pursuant to an agreement with or other writing from the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation ("PBGC"), that after the closing of the GMAC Transaction GMAC and
its subsidiaries will not have any liability with respect to benefit plans of GM
that are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA").

The LLC Members have informed GM and GMAC that they deem this condition has been
satisfied by a letter from the PBGC stating that it will not as a result of the
GMAC Transaction take action under ERISA to terminate GM's pension plans or
impose liability on the Purchaser, any of the LLC Members, GMAC, or any of its
subsidiaries.

The LLC Members are Cerberus Capital Management, Citigroup Inc., Aozora Bank
Limited, and a subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., which
joined recently.

Certain other conditions to closing under the Agreement have not yet been
satisfied.
