INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
 
This Amendment Number Three to the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 4, 2009, as amended by Amendment Number One to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on March 13, 2009, and as further amended by Amendment Number Two to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on April 6, 2009, is being filed by Ford Motor Company, a Delaware corporation (“Ford” or the “Company”), pursuant to Section 13(e)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in connection with an offer (the “Exchange Offer”) by Ford to exchange, for each $1,000 principal amount of the Company’s 4.25% Senior Convertible Notes due December 15, 2036 (the “Convertible Notes”):  (i) 108.6957 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”); (ii) $80.00 in cash; and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Exchange Date (as defined below), which is expected to be approximately $13.34, payable in cash. Ford sought to exchange any and all outstanding Convertible Notes in the Exchange Offer.
 
The Exchange Offer commenced on March 4, 2009, expired at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on April 3, 2009 (the “Exchange Date”) and was settled on April 8, 2009 (the “Settlement Date”).
 
The Exchange Offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the offering circular dated March 4, 2009, as amended on March 13, 2009 (the “Offering Circular”) and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal. The Offering Circular and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal are filed as exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii), respectively, hereto.
 
This Amendment Number Three is the final amendment to the Schedule TO and is being filed in satisfaction of the reporting requirements of Rules 13e-4(c)(4) and 14d-3(b)(2) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment Number Three, the Schedule TO remains in full force and effect.
