| Abstract: | On April 6, 2009, Standard&Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit and other ratings on Ford Motor Co., reflecting the completion of tender offers for Ford debt. We lowered the corporate credit rating to 'SD' (selective default) and certain issue ratings to 'D' (see list below). The rating actions today are consistent with our previously published intentions. As we stated previously, we consider the completion of the tender offers to be distressed exchanges and, as such, are tantamount to defaults under our criteria. For further details, please see our bulletin of March 23, 2009, "Ford Motor Co. Provides Status Update On Debt Exchanges; Ratings Unaffected For Now" on RatingsDirect. We expect to assign a new corporate credit rating
