GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Nonconsolidated VIEs
Automotive
VIEs that are not consolidated include certain vehicle assembling, manufacturing, and selling venture arrangements and other
automotive related entities to which we provide financial support, including American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings, Inc.
(American Axle), Ally Financial and HKJV. We concluded these entities are VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity at risk or
will require additional subordinated financial support. We currently lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct those
activities of these entities that most significantly affect their economic performance. Our variable interests in these nonconsolidated
VIEs include accounts and notes receivable, equity in net assets, guarantees and financial support, some of which were provided to
certain current or previously divested suppliers in order to ensure that supply needs for production were not disrupted due to a
supplier’s liquidity concerns or possible shutdowns.
The following table summarizes the amounts recorded for nonconsolidated VIEs and the related off-balance sheet guarantees and
maximum exposure to loss, excluding Ally Financial that is disclosed in Note 28 (dollars in millions):
