*   Includes 1,118,302 shares of Common Stock (“Common Stock”) of Wuhan General Group (China), Inc. (the “Company”) held of record by Hare & Co. for Blue Ridge Investments, L.L.C. (“Blue Ridge”) on December 31, 2009. Blue Ridge also held 1,272,779 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 429,185 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company on December 31, 2009, which collectively were convertible into 1,701,964 shares of Common Stock as of such date. In addition, Blue Ridge held Series A and B Warrants of the Company, which entitled it to purchase 1,287,554 and 257,511 shares of Common Stock, respectively, on December 31, 2009. The preferred stock and warrants are not convertible or exercisable to the extent that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion or exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by Blue Ridge, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in Blue Ridge beneficially owning in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Blue Ridge may waive this ownership cap on 61 days’ prior notice. As a result of this ownership cap (which was not waived), based upon 25,351,950 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2009 as reported on the report on Form 10-Q filed by the Company on November 16, 2009, Bank of America Corporation beneficially owned 2,662,742 shares of Common Stock as of December 31, 2009. If Blue Ridge waived this ownership cap, Bank of America Corporation would beneficially own 4,365,331 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 15.26% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
