Negotiations on Redemption of Chrysler Shares More Difficult Nov 26, 2008 09:13AM

STUTTGART, Germany, Nov. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The negotiations between Daimler AG (stock exchange abbreviation DAI) and Cerberus Capital Management LLC on the redemption of Daimler's 19.9% shareholding in Chrysler Holding LLC ("Chrysler") and other issues related to Cerberus's investment in Chrysler have been made considerably more difficult during the last weeks due to exaggerated demands by Cerberus. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080409/NYW017LOGO ) These demands by Cerberus exceed the value of Cerberus' investment in Chrysler. For the acquisition of an 80.1% stake in Chrysler, Cerberus had invested USD 7.2 bn. The claims made now go beyond the framework of the contractually agreed possible obligations under representations and warranties.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Mr. Chairman, members of the Committee, I appreciate this opportunity to address the current economic and financial crisis, the impact it is having on the automotive industry, and the need for immediate action. During the 15 months I've been part of Chrysler, and since we've emerged as the first privately held American auto company in 50 years, I've been proud to work with a team of dedicated men and women determined to restore this 83-year old, iconic American brand to its rightful place in the automotive industry. We are asking for assistance for one reason: to address the devastating automotive industry recession caused by our nations' financial meltdown, and the current lack of consumer credit, which has resulted in the critical lack of liquidity within our industry.
