Dear Supplier,

I would like to congratulate you on your outstanding performance in 2019! You are receiving
this letter because your manufacturing location(s) is being recognized for meeting the criteria
for our GM Supplier Quality Excellence Award for the 2019 calendar year. This is the eighth
year our Global Supplier Quality & Development organization has recognized suppliers who
have demonstrated consistent quality performance throughout the year.
This special award recognition is given to specific top performing supplier manufacturing
locations. Suppliers who receive this award recognition have met or exceeded a very stringent
set of quality performance criteria and have achieved the cross-functional support of the entire
GM organization.

General Motors’ mission is to design, build and sell the world’s best vehicles with the highest
levels of quality and safety on the road. Achieving this mission depends largely on the quality
of the parts you produce day in and day out. We know that maintaining a focus on the details
to deliver defect-free product to our assembly plants consistently is not an easy task, so much
that only a fraction of our suppliers has earned this prestigious recognition. You are a critical
part of the team who helps ensure the customer is delighted with their product purchase and
we want to recognize and thank you for that.

Please accept this letter as an official notification of your award status. Due to the
unprecedented events with COVID-19, we had to make a tough decision on how we normally
award plaques. This year we will distribute a special recognition certificate in place of an award
plaque. We are still working out the details around the delivery of the certificates and
recognitions. Your GM SQEs will contact your manufacturing location directly once the details
are finalized. Please be patient with us as we navigate through these circumstances.

Again, congratulations on an exceptional team effort that helped your facility to win this
award. Thank you for all you do and your support during these unprecedented times.

Warm regards,

Richard Demuynck,
Executive Director, Global Supplier Quality & Development
