2024 STIP and LTIP Design Changes
2024 STIP and LTIP Design Changes As discussed in the Board’s letter to shareholders at the beginning of this Proxy Statement, we have enhanced our STIP and LTIP beginning with the 2024 performance year following an extensive review by the Compensation Committee, with the objective of strengthening the alignment of our plans with our evolving financial and strategic goals. The 2024 STIP performance measures will continue to include EBIT-adjusted (35% of STIP) and AAFCF (25% of STIP) as the primary financial measures to align with the performance of our ICE portfolio. In addition, the STIP will now incorporate EV (25% of STIP), Software & Services (“S&S”) (10% of STIP), and AV (5% of STIP) performance measures that align to the strategic pillars of our business. The 2024 LTIP structure will continue to include PSUs (75% of LTIP), and will now incorporate RSUs (25% of LTIP) in lieu of stock options to improve our ability to attract and retain critical talent and to more efficiently use the shares available in the equity plan. The 2024 LTIP PSU performance measures will include Cumulative AAOCF (30% of LTIP), EBIT-adjusted Margin (15% of LTIP), and Relative TSR (30% of LTIP). The redesigned LTIP continues to focus on driving shareholder value and Company profitability, while increasing the focus on cash generation during this critical period of transformation.

We include the annual lease value because it is more reflective of the value of the Company vehicle perquisite than the Company’s incremental costs, which are generally significantly lower because the Company manufactures and ordinarily disposes of Company vehicles for a profit, resulting in minimal incremental costs, if any. Taxes related to imputed income are the responsibility of the director. |

2024 STIP and LTIP Design Changes
2024 STIP and LTIP Design Changes Heading into 2024, the Compensation Committee undertook an extensive review of our STIP and LTIP designs with the objective of strengthening the alignment of our plans with our evolving financial and strategic goals. Following this review, we have enhanced our STIP and LTIP beginning with the 2024 performance year. The 2024 STIP performance measures will continue to include EBIT-adjusted (35% of STIP) and AAFCF (25% of STIP) as the primary financial measures to align with the performance of our ICE portfolio. In addition, the STIP will now incorporate EV (25% of STIP), Software & Services (“S&S”) (10% of STIP), and AV (5% of STIP) performance measures that align to the strategic pillars of our business. The final STIP payout will also be subject to an individual performance modifier not to exceed 110% of the STIP payout amount generated by Company performance. The final STIP payout will not exceed 200% of target. Recognizing the focus on strategy execution and the dynamic nature of the evolving markets for EV and AV technologies, the Committee decided it was more appropriate for the EV, AV, and S&S metrics to be in the STIP than in the LTIP to better align with the pace of the Company’s transformation strategy. The 2024 LTIP structure will continue to include PSUs (75% of LTIP), and will now incorporate RSUs (25% of LTIP) in lieu of stock options to improve our ability to attract and retain critical talent and to more efficiently use the shares available in the equity plan. The PSUs will continue to follow a three-year cliff vesting, and RSUs will vest ratably over three years. The 2024 LTIP PSU performance measures will include Cumulative AAOCF (30% of LTIP), EBIT-adjusted Margin (15% of LTIP), and Relative TSR (30% of LTIP). Relative TSR performance payout will continue to be capped at target if GM’s TSR is negative over the performance period. The redesigned LTIP continues to focus on driving shareholder value and Company profitability, while increasing the focus on cash generation during this critical period of transformation.
2023 STIP and LTIP Overview
2023 STIP and LTIP Overview The 2023 STIP was designed to focus our leaders on key financial measures (75% of STIP) and strategic goals (25% of STIP). The total payout for the STIP ranges from 0 to 200 percent based on performance against pre-established targets. The Compensation Committee determines performance to strategic goals using a rigorous assessment process that evaluates final results against pre-established operational goals, safety results, and other measures, including sustainability outcomes. The payout for strategic goals performance occurs only if threshold performance of at least one financial measure is met. The 2023 LTIP design features stock options (25% of LTIP) to align our senior leaders with shareholders’ interest in stock price appreciation and PSUs (75% of LTIP) with performance measures that drive long-term results. PSU performance measures include EBIT-adjusted Margin (30% of LTIP), Relative TSR (30% of LTIP), and GMNA EV Measures (15% of LTIP). Relative TSR performance payout is capped at target if GM’s TSR is negative over the performance period.

Peer Group for Compensation Benchmarking
Peer Group for Compensation Benchmarking The Compensation Committee annually reviews the peer group for compensation benchmarking comparisons and makes updates as needed to align with the established criteria and the Company’s strategy. We use the peer group to gather competitive market data on executive pay levels, executive compensation program design, and evolving trends in pay practices. We do not limit the peer group to our industry alone because we believe compensation practices for NEOs at other large, U.S.-based, multinational companies affect our ability to attract and retain diverse talent around the globe.

Peer Group for Compensation Benchmarking
The Compensation Committee considered the following factors when selecting the peer group used to help establish 2023 target compensation levels for our NEOs:
How We Use Benchmarking Data to Assess Compensation
How We Use Benchmarking Data to Assess Compensation We benchmark pay practices and compensation levels against the proxy statement disclosures of our peer group. In addition, we use executive compensation surveys and competitive data to benchmark executive positions and adjust this data to reflect GM’s size and market-expected compensation trends. Furthermore, the Compensation Committee reviews an analysis completed by its independent compensation consultant of the competitive position of each of our executives relative to its benchmark data. We review each element of total direct compensation (base salary, STIP, and LTIP) compared with the market. An individual element or an individual’s total direct compensation may be positioned above or below the market due to a variety of considerations, such as specific responsibilities, experience, performance in role, and pay positioning required to attract and retain top talent needed to execute on our vision during this critical period of transformation.

| 52 | | COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
2023 STIP Performance Measures
STIP awards, if any, are determined based on final Company financial performance and the Compensation Committee’s assessment of performance to strategic goals for each NEO. 2023 STIP targets were aligned to the Company’s business plan, which is reviewed and approved by the Board each year. The Compensation Committee set the 2023 STIP targets for EBIT-adjusted and AAFCF below the prior year’s results due to (i) moderation in the pricing environment based on industry supply normalization and softening overall macroeconomic conditions; (ii) normalization of GM Financial EBT performance; (iii) lower pension income driven by increasing interest rates; and (iv) increased investment in EVs and growth initiatives. The table below describes each STIP performance measure – its weight, its target, and the leadership behavior each measure drives.
2023 STIP Performance Measures
| STIP Performance Measure | Weight | Target | Leadership Behaviors | | EBIT-adjusted ($B)(1) | 50% | $14.4 | Focus on operating results and driving strong profitability | | AAFCF ($B)(2) | 25% | $6.3 | Focus on driving strong cash flow to invest in the business and returning capital to shareholders | | Strategic Goals | 25% | 25 pts. | Focus on performance that aligns to the Company vision, our broad social responsibilities, and drives business results |

2023 STIP Performance Measures
Strategic goals are approved by the Compensation Committee and align to delivering on our long-term Company strategy and objectives. Strategic goals cover the following five areas: Our People – Attracting, retaining, and engaging our people by providing the best employee experience that supports and invests in DE&I, while promoting values and behaviors that return people home safely every day. Products, Software, and Services – Creating leading technologies and innovations that deliver customer value, and executing launch excellence with best-in-class product quality to achieve our vision of a world of zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. Citizenship – Prioritizing actions that are inclusive for the communities in which we live and work, including implementation of our plan to be carbon neutral in our global products and operations by 2040 and to eliminate tailpipe emissions from new U.S. light-duty vehicles by 2035. Enterprise – Maximizing our EV opportunity through scale and cost optimization by expanding manufacturing capabilities and operational excellence, while exceeding our financial and structural cost objectives. Customer Experience – Reimagining the customer experience, while in pursuit of EV leadership and enhancing human experiences across the GM ecosystem. Following the performance period, the Compensation Committee uses a scorecard to assess individual performance results to the strategic goals above and makes final compensation decisions as discussed beginning on page 42. The potential payout for each Company performance measure and for the strategic goals ranges from 0 to 200 percent of target based on actual Company performance and performance to strategic goals. The payout for threshold performance is 25 percent for both EBIT-adjusted and AAFCF; performance below threshold results in a 0 percent payout. Final STIP awards are calculated as follows:

2023–2025 LTIP Performance Measures
2023–2025 LTIP Performance Measures Grants made under the LTIP are intended to link the financial interests of NEOs with the long-term interests of shareholders. When determining grant amounts, the Compensation Committee considers factors such as individual responsibilities, experience, and performance. In addition, the Compensation Committee factors relevant market compensation comparison data and input provided by its independent compensation consultant. The structure includes 75 percent PSUs and 25 percent stock options. PSUs cliff-vest following a three-year performance period and stock options vest ratably over three years. PSUs are based on EBIT-adjusted Margin performance, Relative TSR performance against our OEM peer group shown on page 48, and EV performance measures. Relative TSR performance payout is capped at target if GM’s TSR is negative over the performance period. The PSU performance measures align our executive compensation program with our all-electric future and direct additional focus on Company growth and sustainability performance, while continuing to focus on delivering shareholder returns.

2023 STIP Results
2023 STIP Results The Company financial performance portion of the 2023 STIP award was calculated based on the Company’s achievement of EBIT-adjusted and AAFCF performance measures. The Company achieved above target results for both of these performance measures driven by (i) continued strength of core auto performance driven by strong demand for the Company’s vehicles and its ability to maintain sales allowances at below-industry averages; (ii) implementation of a fixed cost reduction program; and (iii) strong GM Financial performance. These strong results were achieved despite tightening economic conditions and unanticipated headwinds related to policy, warranty, and other one-time supplier-related developments that were not contemplated in the Company’s business plan when the Compensation Committee set the 2023 STIP targets. The Company’s 2023 financial results and key business highlights are detailed in the “Our Company Performance” section on page 43. In addition to the Company’s financial measures, a portion of each NEO’s STIP evaluates their performance against pre-established strategic goals. Final 2023 STIP performance approved by the Compensation Committee is displayed below.

Compensation Risk Assessment
Compensation Risk Assessment Annually, the Compensation Committee reviews the potential impact of our compensation programs on organizational risk. The Compensation Committee discusses the compensation programs and risk mitigation features when evaluating whether the programs encourage or reward employees for engaging in excessive, imprudent, inappropriate, or unnecessary risk-taking. The Compensation Committee also confirms the alignment of the compensation programs to the Company’s sustainability risks and opportunities. The annual risk review, completed in December 2023, with assistance from our human resources, audit, and legal organizations, as well as our independent compensation consultant, involved analyzing our current compensation programs in relation to organizational risk. Our analysis concluded that our compensation programs include the following risk mitigation features: Mix of Pay Elements – Base salary, STIP, PSUs, and stock options are included in the executive compensation program. Short-Term and Long-Term Plans – The mix of our short-term and long-term compensation plans appropriately reward employees while balancing risk through the delayed payment of long-term awards. Adjustments to Compensation – Maximum payout caps are in place for incentive compensation, and the Compensation Committee has the ability to apply negative discretion. Compensation Committee Oversight – Our Compensation Committee reviews plan performance and approves all executive compensation plans and payouts. Multiple Performance Measures – Multiple performance measures work together to balance risk in our incentive compensation plans. Stock Ownership Requirements – All senior leaders are subject to stock ownership requirements of at least one times their salary, as described above.

GM Salaried Retirement Plan
GM Salaried Retirement Plan Eligibility and Vesting: The GM Salaried Retirement Plan (“SRP”) is a funded, tax-qualified retirement plan that covers eligible employees hired prior to January 1, 2007. Employees who commenced service on or after January 1, 2007, are eligible to participate only in DC plans. Employees are vested in the SRP after five years of qualifying service. The plan permitted employee contributions, which vested immediately, until December 31, 2006. All DB accruals were frozen on September 30, 2012, with service continuing towards eligibility to retire. Benefit Formula: Service Prior to January 1, 2001: The plan provided benefits on both a contributory and noncontributory formula. The contributory formula factors the contributions of the employee and earnings for each fiscal year. The formulas were frozen effective December 31, 2006, and effective January 1, 2007, employees continued to participate in the SRP under a new formula that provided a pension accrual equal to 1.25 percent of the employee’s eligible earnings up to the IRS-prescribed limits for tax-qualified plans. The 1.25 percent accruals were frozen September 30, 2012. Service from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2006: The plan provided benefits under a cash balance formula with pay credits based on age through December 31, 2006, when the formula was frozen, with balances continuing to earn interest credits thereafter. Time and Form of Payment: For employees hired prior to January 1, 2001, the accumulated benefit an employee earns over his or her career with the Company is payable starting after retirement. Normal retirement age is defined as age 65. Employees who commenced service prior to 1988 may elect early retirement after 30 years of credited service or 85 points, based on combined age and service, or age 60 and 10 or more years of service, with certain age-reduction factors applied. As of December 31, 2023, Ms. Barra and Mr. Reuss were eligible for early retirement. The plan also provides Social Security supplements for those hired prior to 1988. For employees hired on or after January 1, 1988, and prior to December 31, 2000, Social Security supplements are not payable and age-reduction factors are greater for retirements prior to age 62. The plan provides a single-life annuity, a spousal joint and survivor annuity, a contingent annuitant optional form of payment, or a 100 percent lump sum option. For employees hired from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2006, the plan provides a single-life annuity, a contingent annuitant optional form of payment, or a 100 percent lump sum option. Tax Code Limitations on Benefits: Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the IRC limits the benefits payable under the SRP. For 2023, the maximum single life annuity an NEO could have received under these limits was $265,000 per year. This ceiling is actuarially adjusted in accordance with IRS rules to reflect employee contributions, actual forms of distribution, and actual retirement dates.

tual forms of distribution, and actual retirement dates. GM Executive Retirement Plan Eligibility and Vesting: The GM Executive Retirement Plan (“DB ERP”) is an unfunded, non-tax-qualified retirement plan that covers eligible executives to provide retirement benefits above amounts available under our other pension programs. Benefit Formula: Service Prior to January 1, 2007: The supplemental pension equals the greater of (a) 2 percent of the average monthly base salary multiplied by all years of contributory service less the sum of all benefits payable under the SRP plus the maximum Social Security benefit as of January 2007 multiplied by all years of contributory service or (b) 1.5 percent of the average monthly base salary plus STIP compensation multiplied by all years of contributory service, up to a maximum of 35 years, less the sum of all benefits payable under the SRP plus 100 percent of the maximum Social Security benefit as of January 2007. In both cases, the base salary and STIP payments are determined using the highest 60 months out of the last 120 months as of December 31, 2006. These DB accruals were frozen on December 31, 2006, with service continuing towards eligibility to retire. Service from January 1, 2007, to September 30, 2012: For employees hired prior to January 1, 2001, the supplemental pension equals 1.25 percent of annual base salary plus short-term incentive payments and is applicable to amounts in excess of the IRS-prescribed limit applicable to tax-qualified plans. These DB accruals were frozen on September 30, 2012, with service continuing towards eligibility to retire. Time and Form of Payment: Normal retirement age under the plan is age 65; however, employees who commenced service prior to January 1, 2007, may retire at age 60 with 10 or more years of service without any reduction in benefits. Employees may also retire at age 55 with 10 or more years of service with benefits reduced u

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan We maintain certain deferred compensation programs and arrangements for executives. The Defined Contribution Executive Retirement Plan (“DC ERP”) allows for the equalization of benefits for highly compensated salaried employees under the Retirement Savings Plan when such employees’ contribution and benefit levels exceed the maximum limitations on contributions and benefits imposed by Section 2004 of Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, commonly known as ERISA, as amended, and Sections 401(a)(17) and 415(c)(1)(A) of the IRC, as amended. The DC ERP is maintained as an unfunded plan, and we bear all expenses for administration of the plan and payment of amounts to participants. Aggregate account balances disclosed below include both vested and unvested contributions made by the Company. Contributions made prior to 2007 vested immediately.

Potential Payments Upon Termination
Potential Payments Upon Termination The Company does not maintain individual employment agreements with any NEO that provide guaranteed payments in the event of a termination of employment or change in control. In the event that an NEO’s position with the Company is eliminated, including the elimination of the NEO’s position as a result of a change in control, the NEO would be eligible for a severance payment under the Executive Severance Program. The table below shows the potential payments to each NEO assuming a termination of employment on December 31, 2023, due to the following events: voluntary separation or termination for cause, qualifying termination under the Executive Severance Program, full career status retirement, disability, death, or change in control with termination of employment. Each of the separation events is described in more detail below. These provisions are generally applicable to participants in each of the respective plans and are not reserved only for NEOs. The payments below are in addition to the present value of the accumulated benefits from each NEO’s qualified and nonqualified pension plans shown in the “Pension Benefits” table on page 70 and the aggregate balance due to each NEO that is shown in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan table above. For purposes of the following table, the Company describes these terminations and potential payments: Voluntary Separation or Termination for Cause — A voluntary separation occurs when an executive voluntarily terminates employment with the Company. A full career status retirement receives different treatment, as discussed below. A termination for cause occurs when an executive is dismissed from employment by the Company for cause, which is considered to include, but is not limited to, the executive’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of state or federal securities laws. Under each of these scenarios, the executive generally forfeits all outstanding equity awards and is not eligible for any award or payment under the STIP. Executive Severance Program — A separation occurs when an executive’s position is eliminated, or the Company and an executive agree to mutually end the employment relationship. An executive will be eligible to receive a severance payment from the Company calculated based on his or her position and reflected as a multiple of base salary, COBRA, and a STIP award at target. An executive may receive cash payments of the value of the equity awards that are scheduled to vest within the next year after separation at the time of vesting. Unvested stock options are usually forfeited. An executive is also eligible for outplacement assistance based on position. All potential payments are contingent upon the executive entering into a mutual separation agreement. Full Career Status Retirement — A full career status retirement occurs when an executive reaches the age of 55 with 10 or more years of continuous service with the Company, or reaches the age of 62 or older, at which time the executive voluntarily separates from the Company. An executive who enters into a separation or severance agreement cannot also elect full career status retirement. In the event of a full career status retirement, the executive is generally eligible for a prorated STIP award based on his or her retirement date in the performance year and once final performance has been determined. RSUs granted in the year of the retirement date are prorated based on the retirement date, and continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule. RSUs granted prior to the year of the retirement date will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule. PSUs granted in the year of the retirement date are prorated based on the retirement date, and will be adjusted for final Company performance and be settled following approval of such performance. PSUs granted prior to the year of the retirement date will remain outstanding until the end of the performance period, at which time they will be adjusted for final Company performance and be settled following approval of such performance. Stock options granted in the year of the retirement date are prorated based on the retirement date, and continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule. Stock options granted prior to the year of the retirement date will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule. Disability — Disability occurs when an executive terminates employment by reason of his or her inability to engage in any gainful activity due to a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. The executive is eligible for a full-year STIP award related to the year in which termination occurs once final Company performance has been determined. RSUs will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule. PSUs will remain outstanding until the end of the performance period, at which time they will be adjusted for final Company performance and be settled following approval of such performance. Stock options will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule. Death — Following the death of an executive, the beneficiary of the executive is eligible to receive the full-year STIP award subject to adjustment for final Company performance. RSUs immediately vest in full and are settled within 90 days of death. PSUs will remain outstanding until the end of the performance period, at which time they will be adjusted for final Company performance and be settled following approval of such performance. Stock options immediately vest upon death.

Potential Payments Upon Termination
Change in Control (Double Trigger) — In the event of a termination of employment resulting from a change in control, an executive will be eligible for severance under the Executive Severance Program that provides a severance payment based on position and a multiple of base salary and COBRA. An executive will also receive a STIP award at target and the STIP award for the prior year if such award has been determined but not paid. If the STIP award for the prior year has not been determined, the award shall be determined at target and paid. All RSU awards will generally vest and become payable immediately prior to the change in control. For PSUs, the performance period will end immediately prior to the change in control and awards will be determined based on actual performance and converted to a time-based award. Stock options immediately vest and are exercisable upon termination as a result of a change in control. Amounts shown below are calculated by assuming that the relevant employment termination event occurred on December 31, 2023.

CEO Pay Ratio
CEO Pay Ratio Our CEO, who leads our global workforce of 163,000 employees (99,000 located in the United States and 64,000 non-U.S. employees) as of December 31, 2023, earned $27,847,405 in total compensation in 2023 as reported in the Summary Compensation Table. To identify our new median employee for 2023, we:

CEO Pay Ratio
At GM, we believe that fair and equitable pay is an essential element of any successful organization, and we invest in our employees with market-competitive pay and benefits. We compensate our employees to create alignment with the short-term and long-term goals tied to the success of the Company and with our vision of zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. Based on our calculation, we can reasonably estimate that our median employee earned $91,778 in 2023. The ratio of our CEO’s compensation to that of our median employee is estimated to be 303:1. The rules outlined by the SEC for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies to calculate the median employee, excluding up to 5 percent of the workforce, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions that may impact their employee populations. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above. Other companies have different employee populations, compensation practices, and the ability to utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.
