STATEMENT BY TRACINDA CORPORATION
---------------------------------
LAS VEGAS, NV, October 3, 1995 - Tracinda Corporation today issued the
following statement in response to remarks by Robert Eaton, chairman and and CEO
of Chrysler Corporation:
"Tracinda has been Chrysler's largest shareholder for nearly five years.
We have never sold a single Chrysler share and have continued to buy more shares
while management sells. Today, we own more than 14% of Chrysler shares while all
of the company's officers and directors combined own less than 1%. Our long-held
objective is to enhance value for all Chrysler's shareholders - and our actions
to date have helped increase the value of Chrysler's over 380 million shares by
billions of dollars. Tracinda has repeatedly stated that its shares are not for
sale and that we will not accept any benefit that is not equally available to
all shareholders. We will continue to be vigilant in monitoring our long-term
investment and will seek the influence that any large shareholder deserves. We
intend to accept Mr. Eaton's invitation to meet with us to discuss our views,"
said Jerome B. York, vice chairman of Tracinda.
