DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 20, 2013 - Ford Motor Company has elected to terminate the conversion rights with respect to its 4.25% Senior Convertible Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”), effective as of the close of business on January 21, 2014, in accordance with the terms of the Notes.  

Holders of the Notes may elect to convert their Notes into shares of Ford Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Ford Common Stock”), until the close of business on January 21, 2014 at the current conversion rate of 114.0466 shares of Ford Common Stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $8.77 per share of Ford Common Stock).  All conversions are subject to Ford’s right under the Notes to elect to settle such conversions in cash, Ford Common Stock or a combination of cash and Ford Common Stock.  Ford intends to settle all conversions in cash.
