Chrysler Group LLC Statement Regarding the Status of its Dealer Network

March 14, 2010 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -  While Chrysler Group has acted within its legal rights to grant sales points to qualified dealers -- rights that have been upheld in both federal and state courts -- Chrysler Group understands that the practice at this time may be a cause of concern among policymakers and among arbitrating dealers. As a measure of good faith, Chrysler Group will not proceed with network actions that directly impact an arbitrating dealer until the arbitrator has had a chance to rule in that case, unless Chrysler Group is contractually obligated to take such action. Chrysler Group voluntarily took similar good faith action from October into December 2009 while the Company was attempting to negotiate a non-legislative agreement with rejected dealers.

Restructuring of Chrysler Group's dealer network represented an exercise of sound business judgment and was vital to the Company's viability in challenging market conditions. The alternative -- liquidation -- would have had far more devastating affects on our dealers, our communities and our business partners.
