President George W. Bush nominated John William Snow to be the 73rd Secretary of the
Treasury on January 13, 2003. The United States Senate unanimously confirmed Snow to the
position on January 30, 2003. He was sworn into office on February 3, 2003 and served until
June 29, 2006. As Secretary of the Treasury, Snow worked closely with President Bush to
strengthen economic growth and create jobs.

Snow was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CSX Corporation, where he successfully
guided the transportation company though a period of tremendous change. During Snow's
twenty years at CSX, he led the Corporation to refocus on its core railroad business, dramatically

Snow's previous public service includes having served at the Department of Transportation as Administrator of
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Deputy Undersecretary, Assistant Secretary for the
Governmental Affairs, and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy, Plans and International Affairs.

foremost business policy group comprised of 250 chief executive officers of the nation's largest companies.
During his tenure as Chairman from 1994 through 1996, he played a major role in supporting passage of the
North American Free Trade Agreement.

Snow is also recognized as a leading champion of improved corporate governance practices. He is a former co-
chairman of the influential Conference Board's Blue-Ribbon Commission on Public Trust and Private Enterprise.
He also served as co-chairman of the National Commission on Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement in 1992 that made recommendations following the savings and loan crisis.

John Snow was born in Toledo, Ohio, on August 2, 1939, and graduated in 1962 from the University of Toledo.
He later earned a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Virginia where he studied under two Nobel Prize
winners. Snow graduated with a law degree from the George Washington University in 1967 and then taught
economics at the University of Maryland, University of Virginia, as well as law at George Washington. He also
served as a Visiting Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in 1977 and a Distinguished Fellow at the Yale
School of Management from 1978 until 1980.

Snow lives in Richmond, Virginia with his wife Carolyn. He has three children and three grandchildren.

of Marathon and of our industry gained while a former USX Corporation board
member, coupled with his extensive experience in both the public and
private sector and his keen global insights, will be highly complementary
to our ongoing efforts to profitably grow Marathon."
Snow previously served as a member of USX Corporation's board of
directors from March 1995 through December 2001. USX Corporation changed
its name to Marathon Oil Corporation on December 31, 2001, in connection
with the disposition of its steel business through a tax-free distribution

chief executive officer of CSX Corporation, where he successfully guided
the global transportation company through a period of tremendous change.
During Snow's twenty years at CSX, he led the Corporation to refocus on its

and improve its financial performance.
Snow held several high-ranking positions in the Department of
Transportation during the Ford Administration where he led the efforts to
reform regulation of the motor carrier, airline, barge and rail industries.
From 1994 through 1996 Snow served as Chairman of the Business
Roundtable, the foremost business policy group comprised of 250 chief
executive officers of the nation's largest companies. During that period,
he played a major role in supporting passage of the North American Free
Trade Agreement and working on the deficit reduction agreement.
Snow is also recognized as a leading champion of improved corporate
governance practices. He is a former co-chairman of the influential
Conference Board's Blue-Ribbon Commission on Public Trust and Private
Enterprise. He also served as co-chairman of the National Commission on
Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement in 1992 that made
recommendations following the savings and loan crisis.

work at Kenyon College and the University of Toledo, from which he received
a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1962. Both schools have honored him with
honorary degrees. He also holds a Masters Degree from the Johns Hopkins

STUTTGART, Germany, May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Board of

Management of DaimlerChrysler AG (stock-exchange abbreviation DCX) has
today decided, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board and the
relevant authorities, on the future concept for the Chrysler Group and the
realignment of DaimlerChrysler AG. Completion of the transaction is subject
to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt
of regulatory approvals and Cerberus financing arrangements.
Details will be explained at a press conference in Stuttgart today at 2
p.m. CET/8 a.m. EDT.
Structure of the transaction
-- An affiliate of private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, L.P.,
New York, will make a capital contribution of $7.4 billion in return
for an 80.1% equity interest in the future new company, Chrysler
Holding LLC. DaimlerChrysler will hold a 19.9% equity interest in the
new company. Chrysler Holding LLC will hold 100% each of the future
Chrysler Corporation LLC, which produces and sells Chrysler, Dodge and
Jeep(R) vehicles, and the future Chrysler Financial Services LLC, which
provides financial services for these vehicles in the NAFTA region.

-- Of the total capital contribution of $7.4 billion, $5.0 billion will

flow into the industrial business (Chrysler Corporation LLC) and $1.05
billion will flow into the financial services business in order to
strengthen the equity base of both businesses. DaimlerChrysler will
receive the balance of $ 1.35 billion. In addition, DaimlerChrysler
will grant a loan of $0.4 billion to Chrysler Corporation LLC.

-- According to the agreement, upon the closing of the transaction,

DaimlerChrysler will transfer the industrial business of the Chrysler
Group completely free of debt. Due to the Chrysler Group's anticipated

Cerberus Takes Over Majority Interest In Chrysler Group and Related F... http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=...

negative cash flow until closing in connection with its restructuring

plan, the transaction will give rise to a cash outflow of $1.6 billion
for DaimlerChrysler. The overall net cash outflow resulting from the
transaction will therefore be $0.65 billion. In addition,
DaimlerChrysler will have to discharge long-term liabilities of the
Chrysler Group in connection with the transaction. This will result in
prepayment compensation of approximately $878 million, to be borne by
DaimlerChrysler. The usual transaction costs will also be incurred.

-- The Chrysler Group's financial obligations for pension and healthcare

benefits towards its employees and the employees of the financial
services business related to the Chrysler Group will be retained by the
Chrysler companies. The pension plans are significantly over-funded at
present.

Effects on key figures

The transaction will have the following effects on DaimlerChrysler AG:

-- In total, current estimates indicate that net profit according to IFRS

in 2007 will be reduced by $4.1-5.4 billion.

-- Due to the deconsolidation of the Chrysler companies and the resulting

reduction in the balance-sheet total, the equity ratio of
DaimlerChrysler's industrial business is expected to increase to more
than 40% by the beginning of 2008.

-- There will be no changes relating to the bonds issued and guaranteed by

DaimlerChrysler AG. In the financial services business for the
Chrysler, Jeep (R) and Dodge brands, Cerberus will take over the
financing previously provided by DaimlerChrysler AG.

-- The 19.9% equity interest held by DaimlerChrysler AG in the new company

Chrysler Holding LLC will be included after closing at equity in the
Van, Bus, Others segment.

-- The closing of the transaction is expected to take place in the third

quarter of 2007.
Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of
DaimlerChrysler AG and Head of the Mercedes Car Group: "We're confident
that we've found the solution that will create the greatest overall value -
both for Daimler and Chrysler. With this transaction, we have created the
right conditions for a new start for Chrysler and Daimler."
Ron Gettelfinger, President of the United Autoworkers (UAW): "The
transaction with Cerberus is in the best interests of our UAW members, the
Chrysler Group and Daimler. We are pleased that this decision has been
made, because our members and the management can now focus entirely on the
development and manufacture of quality products for the future of the
Chrysler Group."
John W. Snow, Chairman of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P.: "We
welcome Chrysler into the Cerberus family of companies and believe Cerberus
will be a good home for Chrysler. Cerberus believes in the inherent
strength of U.S. manufacturing and of the U.S. auto industry. Most
importantly, we believe in Chrysler."
Snow continued: "We would like to thank DaimlerChrysler for their good
stewardship of this American icon over the last decade. We are aware that
Chrysler faces significant challenges, but we are confident that they can
and will be overcome. A private investment firm like Cerberus will provide
management with the opportunity to focus on their long-term plans rather
than the pressures of short-term earnings expectations."
Business progress
In nearly ten years as DaimlerChrysler, a lot has been done to move the
businesses forward. The synergies possible between Mercedes-Benz and
Chrysler have been fully utilized. Additional potential for collaboration
is limited between two businesses operating in such different market
segments. The strong volatility and pressure on margins in the Chrysler

2 of 5 10/21/2008 9:32 AM
Cerberus Takes Over Majority Interest In Chrysler Group and Related F... http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=...

Group's North American core market have an increasingly negative impact on

DaimlerChrysler's overall profitability and share-price development.
The Chrysler Group has made substantial progress in recent years. For
example, production hours per vehicle have fallen from 48 hours in 2001 to
just over 30 at present. Quality has improved by more than 40% over the
past six years. Since 2002, more than $10 billion has been invested in new
production facilities and technologies. And with 34 new models since 2001,
Chrysler has one of the youngest product lines in the industry.
Zetsche: "As a result, Chrysler today is structurally more sound than
its North American based competitors. And with Cerberus as a partner,
Chrysler will have the best chances of utilizing its full potential."
Ongoing collaboration
Existing projects with the Mercedes Car Group will be continued, for
example in the development of conventional and alternative drive systems,
purchasing, and sales and financial services outside the NAFTA region.
Furthermore, a Joint Automotive Council will be established in which
representatives of both sides will assess and decide on the potential of
new and current projects. The Council will be led by board-level members
from each company.
Zetsche: "We very much look forward to our continued cooperation as
business partners, as we want to continue to reap the mutual benefits of
working together. That's one of the reasons why we're retaining a 19.9%
equity position in Chrysler."
New Daimler AG
Due to the new corporate structure, the name of DaimlerChrysler AG is
to be changed to Daimler AG. A decision on this is to be taken by the
shareholders at an Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting probably in fall
2007.
The Board of Management of the new company will be reduced to six
members. Tom LaSorda, Eric Ridenour and Tom Sidlik will leave the Board of
Management with the Group's sincere thanks.
There will no longer be a separate board position for procurement in
the new Daimler AG. In the future, all procurement activities will be
directly coordinated between the divisions. Within the Board of Management,
Bodo Uebber will additionally assume overall responsibility for
procurement.
The leadership teams of the Mercedes Car Group, the Truck Group and
Financial Services will remain unchanged, as will the teams in the vans and
buses businesses.
Zetsche: "We've done our homework in our corporate functions and in all
of our divisions. As a result of our strategic review, we have a
well-defined roadmap to lead us into a good future."
The Mercedes Car Group will generate a return on sales of at least 7%
this year, with higher rates to follow in the coming years.
The Truck Group will achieve an average return on sales of 7% over the
cycle as of 2008. This represents a return on net assets of approximately
30%.
DaimlerChrysler is also a world leader and profitability benchmark for
buses. And in the vans business, which is performing very well, the new
Sprinter will continue the success story of its predecessor.
The Financial Services division aims to earn a return on equity of more
than 14%.
Growth perspectives
Zetsche: "We have a strong starting position. We have an above-average
financial power. And our future prospects are promising." The Group has
defined the following main areas for continued growth:
-- Further expansion in the core business, which means in the traditional
segments that are the most profitable and have the highest growth
rates, as well as exploiting new market opportunities on a regional
basis.
-- Continued development of innovative, customer-oriented and tailor-made
services and activities, pursuing opportunities both up and down the
value chain.
-- Strengthening leadership in sustainable, responsible and
environmentally friendly technologies.

Cerberus Takes Over Majority Interest In Chrysler Group and Related F... http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=...

By focusing on these three areas, Daimler's full potential is to be

exploited and enterprise value is to be increased further through
profitable and sustainable growth. Daimler intends to do this on its own,
while continuing to benefit from opportunities of scale with Chrysler.
Zetsche on Daimler's goals: "We will be the leading manufacturer of
premium products and a provider of premium services in every market segment
we serve worldwide. And we will pursue our commitment to excellence based
on a common culture, a great heritage of innovation and pioneering
achievements and - with Mercedes-Benz - the strongest automotive brand in
the world.

When Cerberus owns Chrysler maybe Snow can get a

4-dr. Wrangler
BYLINE: Harry Stoffer

SECTION: NEWS; Pg. 4

LENGTH: 456 Wörter

TOYOTA CITY, Japan --

John Snow was back in Washington last week in his new role as auto boss. In
the 1970s, Snow held high posts at the Department of Transportation. Later he
was CEO at CSX Corp., the railroad, and was chairman of the Business Roundtable,
a top corporate lobby. He also taught at area universities.

When President Bush forced Snow out as Secretary of the Treasury last year,
it looked like the end to his final chapter.

But Snow was back in the capital as the public face of the giant private
equity firm acquiring the Chrysler group. He argued against severe boosts in
fuel economy standards and against higher taxes for businesses like his. And he
revealed a little about John Snow, the person.

Name: John Snow

Title: Chairman, Cerberus Capital Management LP

Age: 67

Personal: Married; three grown children; five grandchildren

Lives: Richmond, Va.

Works: New York City and ``on the road''

Education: Undergraduate degree from University of Toledo; law degree from

George Washington University; Ph.D. in economics from University of Virginia.

Big break: ``Service in the Ford administration was a big opportunity for me.
I found myself at a very young age with a lot of responsibilities.''

Are you a railroader or a car guy?

At heart, I'm a business guy who happened to find himself in railroads and
ocean carriers and now finds himself with a company that's made a major
 Page 2

investment in autos. I don't pretend to know the autos.

What's the best job you've ever had?

Being a father.

Any time for hobbies?

Some. I'm a terrible golfer, inadequate tennis player. I like to read.

What's on your nightstand?

Right now it's How the Scots Invented the Modern World.

At 67 a lot of people think about retiring.

I really enjoy this work. It keeps me involved with big public policy issues.

It's continuity, too. In the Ford administration, we created the conditions

for American business to be more competitive. I worked in private industry,
tried to make a big transportation company more competitive. Went to the
government, tried to put in place policies to allow American industry to work
better, be more competitive. Came out, continued to work in an industry, private
equity, which has as its raison d'etre strengthening the competitive posture of
American business.

Are you still registered a Republican?

Sure. Oh, yeah.

Whom do you like for president?

There are so many good candidates. It would be premature.

Might you come back to government one more time?

In another 25 years, maybe.

Your first car was a '47 DeSoto. What do you drive now?

I'm in the market for that Jeep. The four-door Wrangler. There is such demand
for them. You can't get 'em delivered. Maybe I'll have a better chance to get
one when we actually close the deal and we own Chrysler.

private investment firms with approximately $25 billion under management in funds and
accounts. Cerberus specializes in providing both financial resources and operational
expertise to help transform undervalued companies into industry leaders for long-term
success and value creation. Cerberus recently announced plans to purchase the Chrysler
Group in a $7.4 billion transaction and take the company private – the first time a private
equity company will run a major U.S. automaker. Since joining Cerberus in 2006, Snow
has talked publicly about how private investment is increasingly important in the global
economy.

During Snow’s tenure from 2003 to 2006 as the 73rd Secretary of the Treasury, the U.S.
experienced some of the best economic performance on record; with growth at nearly 4
percent, more than six million new jobs created and with record federal revenues
resulting in a markedly lower budget deficit. He forged international consensus on such
issues as the importance of global growth, currency policy, and debt relief for the world’s
poorest countries.

“John Snow’s experience in government, business, and foreign policy makes him an
outstanding resource for the students and scholars of the Miller Center and the University
of Virginia,” said Miller Center Director Gerald L. Baliles. “We are pleased that he has
agreed to bring his extensive and practical knowledge here to interact with students,
scholars, and the Center community.”

The Newman Visiting Fellowship brings Snow back to the University of Virginia, where
he studied under two Nobel Prize winners and earned his Ph.D. in economics in 1965. He
taught economics at U.Va. and the University of Maryland, and taught on the law faculty
at George Washington University, where he earned a J.D. in 1967. Snow holds a masters
degree from Johns Hopkins University and did undergraduate work at Kenyon College
and the University of Toledo, where he received a B.A. in 1962. He was a Visiting
Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in 1977 and a Distinguished Fellow at the
Yale School of Management from 1978 until 1980.

“I’m deeply honored by this opportunity to strengthen and renew my affiliation with Mr.
Jefferson’s University,” said Snow. “This appointment at the Miller Center is a natural
extension of my long devotion to good public discourse on the defining issues that matter
to all Americans and the wider global community.”

Before he became Treasury Secretary, Snow was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of CSX Corporation. He was chairman of the Business Roundtable, made up of 250
CEOs of the nation's largest companies, from 1994 to 1996, supporting passage of the
North American Free Trade Agreement and deficit reduction. He held several high-
ranking positions in the Department of Transportation during the Ford administration,
leading the efforts to de-regulate the transportation industry. In private life, he has served
on various corporate and non-profit boards including Johnson and Johnson, USX,
Verizon, Textron, the University of Virginia Darden School, the American Enterprise
Institute and Johns Hopkins University.

Founded in 1975, the Miller Center of Public Affairs is a leading nonpartisan public
policy institution that aims to fulfill Jefferson’s public service mission by serving as a
national meeting place for engaged citizens, scholars, students, media representatives and
government officials to research, reflect, and report on issues of national importance to
the governance of the United States, with special attention to the central role and history
of the presidency.

DATELINE: Charlottesville, VA

The following information was released by the University of Virginia:

The University of Virginia's Miller Center of Public Affairs will host "The
New Financial Architecture: A Global Summit," Sept. 7 through 9 in
Charlottesville. Convened by former U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow, the
center's Newman Visiting Fellow, the conference is a first-of-its-kind global
event that will bring high-ranking financial leaders to the historic University
of Virginia to address fast-changing global market developments and the most
pressing economic and financial questions of the day.

This inaugural Mortimer M. Caplin Conference on the World Economy will gather
together world financial leaders a" all former finance ministers a" from Europe,
Asia, Africa, South America and the Middle East. This unique group represents
three-quarters of worldwide economic activity, reaching beyond traditional G7
meetings to include perspectives from emerging markets and developing economies
on issues including:

Sovereign wealth funds;

Global financial stability and economic governance;

Challenges posed by changes in the centers of world economic power and

influence;

The subprime crisis and credit crunch; and

The future of the new financial architecture.

The delegates' recommendations will form a blueprint for global economic

management in the 21st century.

"This groundbreaking event will combine these former finance ministers'

practical expertise and knowledge about the global economy with something new:
their ability to be candid in their observations and recommendations," said
former Virginia Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, director of the Miller Center. "Because
they are no longer bound by the constraints of their offices, their
recommendations will be that much more frank and unfettered."

"I'm pleased that the Miller Center is able to bring together a terrific
group of distinguished financial leaders at the University of Virginia to focus
on the issues that really matter to the global economy and financial markets,"
said Snow. "My hope is that the summit can help forge a path forward at a most
critical time for both the institutions of international finance and for
policymakers in the United States."

As part of the announcement on Thursday, Baliles and Snow sat down together
before a capacity crowd in the Miller Center's Forum Room and held a
wide-ranging, informal conversation on issues that are apt to be part of the
inaugural event in September.

"These are big questions that we are facing, and I can't think of any group
better equipped to have these discussions" than the financial leaders who will
comprise the conference, Snow said. "I want very much to show them Mr.
Jefferson's University."

CNBC, watched by more than 300 million viewers worldwide, is the summit's
exclusive television partner, and will be in Charlottesville to cover the
proceedings on its worldwide television and online networks.

The summit, which occurs one month prior to the fall International Monetary
Fund and World Bank meetings in Washington, will conclude with a joint statement
aimed at the policy agenda on sovereign wealth funds, the credit crisis,
financial regulations and the global economy.
