This Amendment No. 34 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D (as
previously amended, including pursuant to the schedule 14D-1 and amendment
thereto previously filed by Tracinda Corporation, a Nevada corporation wholly
owned by Kirk Kerkorian, the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the common stock par
value $1.00 per share (the "Shares"), of Chrysler Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), previously filed by Mr. Kerkorian and Tracinda
Corporation ("Tracinda"). Terms used and not defined in this Amendment have the
meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.
1. Item 4, "Purpose of Transaction," Item 5, "Interest in Securities of the
Issuer" and Item 6, "Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
with Respect to Securities of the Issuer" of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended
to add the following information:
On November 20, 1995, Tracinda filed an amendment to its Schedule 13D
disclosing its intention to donate 20,000,000 shares (adjusted for stock split)
of Chrysler common stock and 2,000,000 shares of MGM Grand, Inc. common stock to
The Lincy Foundation, a California non-profit public benefit corporation formed
in 1989 by Tracinda. One condition of the donation was the receipt by Tracinda
of a favorable tax ruling by the Internal Revenue Service relating to the
proposed gift. Tracinda has been advised by the Internal Revenue Service that
its requested tax ruling will not be approved. Accordingly, Tracinda has
withdrawn the request. As a result of the failure to obtain the ruling, the
proposed donation to The Lincy Foundation, which was to have been made in three
annual installments commencing in November, 1997 will not be made. It is
Tracinda's intent, however, to make comparable gifts to charitable organizations
directly, either in shares of Chrysler common stock, MGM Grand, Inc. common
stock, other securities, or cash. Such donations may be made at times different
from the times the proposed donations to The Lincy Foundation were to have been
made. On this date Tracinda has donated $32,500,288 consisting of 875,008
shares of Chrysler common stock (valued at $31,500,288) and $1,000,000 in cash
to 30 charitable organizations. Future gifts will be subject to certain
conditions including the consent of Tracinda's lenders.
2. Except as specifically provided herein, this amendment does not modify
any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.
