Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, including in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust (the “GUC Trust”) is involved in litigation concerning purported economic losses (the “Economic Loss Plaintiffs”), personal injuries and/or death (the “PIWD Plaintiffs”) suffered by certain lessees and owners of vehicles manufactured by General Motors Corporation (“Old GM”) prior to the sale of substantially all the assets of Old GM to NGMCO, Inc., n/k/a General Motors LLC (“New GM”). Certain of the Economic Loss and PIWD Plaintiffs have filed lawsuits against New GM, have filed motions seeking authority from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) to file claims against the GUC Trust (the “Late Claims Motions”), and/or are members of a putative class covered by those actions.

As previously disclosed, including most recently on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the GUC Trust on May 5, 2020 (the “Economic Los Settlement 8-K”), the GUC Trust, New GM and the Economic Loss Plaintiffs asserting economic loss claims on a class wide basis against both the GUC Trust and New GM executed a Settlement Agreement dated as of March 27, 2020 (the “Settlement Agreement”) to, among other things, resolve the Late Claims Motions filed by the Economic Loss Plaintiffs. On March 27, 2020, the GUC Trust filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking, among other things, approval of the Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Approval Motion”) and on April 23, 2020 the Bankruptcy Court issued an order (the “Settlement Approval Order”) granting the Settlement Approval Motion and approving the GUC Trust’s entry into the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Approval Order contemplated the addition of the Motors Liquidation Company Avoidance Action Trust (the “AAT”) to the Settlement Agreement pursuant to an amendment to the Settlement Agreement and on May 1, 2020, the GUC Trust, New GM, the Economic Loss Plaintiffs and the AAT entered into an amended settlement agreement (the “Amended Settlement Agreement”). Also on May 1, 2020, the AAT filed a motion seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of its entry into the Amended Settlement Agreement, which was required for such agreement to be effective.

On December 18, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order (the “Amended Settlement Agreement Approval Order”) approving the Amended Settlement Agreement. The Amended Settlement Agreement Approval Order is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Amended Settlement Agreement provides for, among other things: payment by the GUC Trust of $48,000,000 into a common fund for members of the economic loss class and complete resolution of all claims and motions filed against the GUC Trust in the Bankruptcy Court asserting economic loss claims or causes of action. The foregoing description of the Amended Settlement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 99.1 to the Economic Loss Settlement 8-K.
