Note 1 - Description of the Plan
The
following description of the Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees (the “Plan”) provides
only general information. Participants should refer to the provisions of the Plan, which are governed in all respects by the detailed
terms and conditions contained in the Plan document. The Plan was established effective February 1, 1956. The Ford Retirement Plan (FRP)
was merged with and into the Plan effective December 31, 2018. A subsidiary, Electriphi, was added to the Plan in 2022 and Transloc and
Spin were removed.
Type
and Purpose of the Plan - The Plan is a defined contribution plan established to encourage and facilitate systematic retirement savings
and investment by eligible salaried employees of Ford Motor Company (the “Company”) and certain subsidiaries, and to provide
them with an opportunity to become stockholders of the Company. The Plan includes provisions for voting shares of Company stock. It is
subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), applicable to
defined contribution pension plans.
Eligibility
- Regular full-time salaried employees are eligible to participate in the Plan immediately following their date of hire or rehire,
and, are immediately eligible for any applicable Company matching contributions. Certain other part-time and temporary employees also
may be eligible to participate in the Plan. Newly hired employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan at an initial contribution rate
of 5 percent of their base salary, though they may elect to cancel or change their automatic enrollment rate.
Contributions
and Vesting - Participants can contribute a percentage of their base pay to the Plan on a pre-tax, Roth, and/or after-tax basis,
subject to federal tax law and Plan limits. Participants may also elect to contribute all, or a portion, of their distributions under
the Company’s Annual Incentive Compensation Plan and the Ford Motor Credit Company’s Flex Bonus Rewards. A contribution in
an amount corresponding to each election is made by the Company to the Plan on the participant’s behalf. Subject to limits under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), pre-tax contributions are excluded from the participant’s
federal and most state and local taxable income. The Company makes discretionary matching contributions (“Company matching contributions”)
at a rate of $0.90 for each dollar contributed up to 5 percent of participants' base salary deferred (as defined).
For
eligible participants hired or re-hired on or after January 1, 2004, the Company makes contributions to participants’ accounts
(“FRP Contributions”) based on a fixed percentage of a participant’s monthly or semi-monthly base salary according
to the Company’s contribution schedule illustrated below:
Age at Year End |

|
Under Age 40 |
3.5% |
|
Age 40 through 49 |
4.5 |
|
Age 50+ |
5.5 |
|
Subject to provisions of the Plan, participants may elect to roll over amounts
from other eligible retirement plans in accordance with the Code. For the year ended December 31, 2022, rollovers from other eligible
retirement plans totaled $256.2 million, which are included in employee contributions in the statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits.

Note 1 - Description of the Plan (Continued)
Participants
are fully vested in account balances related to their pre-tax, Roth, and after-tax contributions and earnings thereon. Pre-tax assets,
Roth assets, after-tax assets, and assets resulting from Company matching contributions and FRP Contributions are accounted for separately.
Company
matching contributions and FRP Contributions vest three years after the original date of hire. At that time, all assets attributable
to Company matching contributions and FRP Contributions held in participants’ accounts become vested, and all future contributions
vest when they are made.
Distributions
- Pre-tax or Roth assets may not be withdrawn by participants until the termination of their employment or until they reach 59-1/2
years of age, except in the case of personal financial hardship. In-service withdrawals of vested Company matching contributions are
permissible for participants who are at least 59-1/2 years of age. Withdrawal of such contributions for participants less than 59-1/2
years of age is limited to those contributions that have been in the Plan for two years. FRP Contributions may not be withdrawn by participants
until termination of employment.
After-tax
assets can be withdrawn at any time without restriction.
Distribution
options include lump-sum, partial, or installment payments. Eligible rollover distributions can be rolled over to an IRA or another employer's
eligible retirement plan.
Activity
for participants in the Ford Stock Fund who have elected to receive dividends paid in the form of cash instead of purchasing additional
shares is reported in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.
Participant
Accounts - A participant’s account balance is comprised of employee contributions, Company matching contributions and FRP Contributions,
if any, and investment income earned from the individual investment options selected by the participant less withdrawals, loans, distributions,
and fees. In the absence of participant investment directions, contributions are invested in a target date fund, a qualified default
investment alternative (“QDIA”) prescribed by final regulations issued by the Department of Labor. Allocations are based
on participant earnings, account balances, or specific participant transactions, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled
is determined from the participant’s vested account balance.
Master
Trust Investment Options and Participation – Employee contributions, Company matching contributions and FRP Contributions are
invested in accordance with the participant’s election in one or more investments, which are held in the Ford Defined Contribution
Plans Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) (see Note 3).
Transfer
of Assets - The Plan permits the transfer of assets among investment options held by the Master Trust, subject to certain trading
restrictions imposed on some of the investment options.
Notes
Receivable from Participants - The Plan permits participants to borrow from their pre-tax, Roth, after-tax, and rollover accounts.
Monthly notes receivable interest rates related to these borrowings are based on the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal.
Participant notes receivable are collateralized by the participant’s vested account balance.
Prior
to 2018, a participant was eligible to take out one note receivable per calendar year and to have up to four notes receivable outstanding
at any one time. Effective January 1, 2018, participants
can only have up to two outstanding loans (previous loans are grandfathered) and the one loan per calendar year restriction is removed.

Note 1 - Description of the Plan (Continued)
General notes receivable may be for a minimum of one year, but not exceeding five years. Notes receivable related to the purchase of
a primary residence may be for a maximum of ten years.
Forfeitures
and Plan Administration Expenses - The Plan permits the Company to use assets forfeited by participants to pay plan administrative
expenses and, to the extent not used to pay such expenses, to reduce the Company’s future contributions to the Plan.
The
Company may pay certain plan administrative expenses directly.
Party
in Interest Transactions - Certain Master Trust investment options are investment products managed by State Street Global Advisors
(“SSgA”), which is the investment management division of State Street Bank and Trust Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of
State Street Corporation. State Street Bank and Trust Company is the trustee, as defined by the Plan, and the disbursement agent.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Accounting – The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
Investment
Valuation and Income Recognition - The fair value of the Plan's interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning of the year
value of the Plan's interest in the trust, plus actual contributions and allocated investment income, less actual distributions and allocated
administrative expense (see Note 3).
Investments
held by the Master Trust are stated at fair value, except for the synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (“synthetic GICs”)
which are held through the Master Trust’s investment in the Interest Income Fund and valued at contract value. Since synthetic
GICs are fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available
for benefits attributable to the synthetic GICs. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less
participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion
of their investment at contract value.
Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. See Note 4 for further discussion of fair value measurements.
Purchases
and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded as earned. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date.
Notes
Receivable from Participants - Notes receivable from participants are recorded at their unpaid principal balances plus any accrued
interest. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when
incurred. Participant notes receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as
of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Investment
Contracts - A synthetic GIC is a wrap contract paired with underlying investments, usually a portfolio of high-quality, short to
intermediate-term fixed-income securities and a short-term interest fund.
A
synthetic GIC credits a stated interest rate. Investment gains and losses are amortized over the expected duration of the covered
investments through the calculation of the interest rate on a prospective basis. Synthetic GICs provide for a variable crediting
rate, which resets on a periodic basis. The crediting rate set by the wrap contracts resets quarterly. The quarterly crediting rate
does not include the short-term investments (e.g., short-term interest fund) used for benefit-responsive events. While the issuer
of the wrap contract provides assurance that future adjustments to the crediting rate cannot result in a crediting rate less than
zero, the actual quarterly interest rate is impacted by the current yield of the short-term investments.
The
crediting rate is primarily based on the current yield-to-maturity of the covered investments, plus or minus amortization of the difference
between the market value and contract value of the covered investments over the duration of the covered investments at the time of computation.
The
crediting rate is most impacted by the change in the annual effective yield to maturity of the underlying securities, but is also affected
by the differential between the contract value and the market value of the covered investments. This difference is amortized over the
duration of the covered investments. Depending on the change in duration from reset period to reset period, the magnitude of the impact
to the crediting rate of the contract to market difference is heightened or lessened. The crediting rate can be adjusted periodically,
but in no event is the crediting rate less than zero percent.
Certain
events limit the ability of the Master Trust to transact at contract value with the insurance company and the financial institution issuer.
Such events include the following: (i) material amendments to the Plan documents (including complete or partial plan termination or merger
with another plan); (ii) changes to the Plan’s prohibition on competing investment options or deletion of equity wash provisions;
(iii) bankruptcy of the plan sponsor or other plan sponsor events (e.g., divestitures or spin-offs of a subsidiary) which cause a significant
withdrawal from the Plan; (iv) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited
transaction exemption under ERISA; (v) any change in law, regulation, ruling, administrative or judicial position, or accounting requirement,
applicable to the Interest Income Fund or the Plan; or (vi) the delivery of any communication to Plan participants designed to influence
a participant not to invest in the Interest Income Fund. The plan administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such event,
which would limit the Master Trust’s ability to transact at contract value, is probable.
The
synthetic investment contracts generally impose conditions on both the Master Trust and the issuer. If an event of default occurs
and is not cured, the non-defaulting party may terminate the contract. The following may cause the Master Trust to be in default: a
breach of material obligation under the contract; a material misrepresentation; or a material amendment to the Plan agreement. The
issuer may be in default if it breaches a material obligation under the investment contract; makes a material misrepresentation; has
a decline in its long-term credit rating below a threshold set forth in the contract; is acquired or reorganized and the successor
issuer does not satisfy the investment or credit guidelines applicable to issuers. If, in the event of default of an issuer, the
Master Trust were unable to obtain a replacement investment contract, withdrawing plans may experience losses if the value of the
Master Trust’s assets no longer covered by the contract is below contract value. The Master Trust may seek to add additional
issuers over time to diversify the Master Trust’s exposure to such risk, but there is no assurance the Master Trust may be
able to do so. The combination of the default of an issuer and an inability to obtain a replacement agreement could render the
Master Trust unable to achieve its objective of maintaining a stable contract value. The terms of an investment contract generally
provide for settlement of payments only upon termination of the contract or total liquidation of the covered investments. Generally,
payments will be made pro-rata, based on the percentage of investments covered by each issuer. Contract termination occurs whenever
the contract value or market value of the covered investments reaches zero or upon certain events of default.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(Continued)
If
the contract terminates due to issuer default (other than a default occurring because of a decline in its rating), the issuer will generally
be required to pay to the Master Trust the excess, if any, of contract value over market value on the date of termination. If a synthetic
GIC terminates due to a decline in the ratings of the issuer, the issuer may be required to pay to the Master Trust the cost of acquiring
a replacement contract (i.e., replacement cost) within the meaning of the contract. If the contract terminates when the market value
equals zero, the issuer will pay the excess of contract value over market value to the Master Trust to the extent necessary for the Master
Trust to satisfy outstanding contract value withdrawal requests. Contract termination also may occur by either party upon election and
notice.
Contributions
- Contributions to the Plan from participants and, when applicable, from the Company and participating subsidiaries (as defined in
the Plan) are recorded in the period that payroll deductions are made from Plan participants.
Payment
of Benefits - Benefits are recorded when paid.
Use
of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and
deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks
and Uncertainties - Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market,
and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in
the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect
participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements.
New
Accounting Pronouncements – There have been no new accounting pronouncements reflected in the 2022 financial statements.

Subsequent
Events – The Plan has evaluated subsequent events through June
26, 2023, the date the financial statement were available to be issued, and there were no subsequent events requiring adjustments
to or disclosure in the financial statements.
Note 3 - The Master Trust
The Company established the Master Trust pursuant to a trust agreement
between the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee, in order to permit the commingling of trust assets of several
employee benefit plans for investment and administrative purposes. The assets of the Master Trust are held by State Street Bank and Trust Company.
Employee benefit plans participating in the Master Trust as of December 31,
2022 and 2021 include the following defined contribution plans:

All transfers to, withdrawals from, or other transactions regarding the
Master Trust shall be conducted in such a way that the proportionate interest in the Master Trust of each plan and the fair market value
of that interest may be determined at any time.
The interest of each such plan shall be debited or credited (as the case
may be) (i) for the entire amount of every contribution received on behalf of such plan (including participant contributions), every distribution,
or other expense attributable solely to such plan, and every other transaction relating only to such plan; and (ii) for its proportionate
share of every item of collected or accrued income, gain or loss, and general expense, and of any other transactions attributable to the
Master Trust or that investment option as a whole.

Note 4 - Fair Value Disclosures
Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported
at fair value in the financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair
value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
In determining fair value, various valuation techniques are utilized and
observable inputs are prioritized. The availability of observable inputs varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety
of factors including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular to the transaction.
For many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted
by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing
inputs are less observable in the marketplace and may require management judgment.

Stock Investment Plan for Salaried Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2022 and
2021
Note 4 - Fair Value Disclosures (Continued)
The
inputs used to measure fair value are assessed using a three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair
value are observable in the market. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments and are the most
observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are
observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management's judgments about
the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset. In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into
different levels of the fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the valuation. The Plan’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements
requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset.
The
following valuation methodologies have been used to value the underlying investments in the Master Trust:
Separate
Accounts – Common Stocks – These investments, except a small portion of the separate account invested in a short-term
interest fund to provide liquidity for daily activity, are valued on the basis of quoted year-end market prices. The short-term interest
fund is valued at the net asset value per share, which is based on the fair value of the underlying net assets.
Ford
Stock Fund – The Ford Stock Fund is a unitized account that is comprised primarily of Ford Motor Company common stock, except
a small portion of the fund is invested in a short-term interest fund to provide liquidity for daily activity. The Ford Stock Fund consists
of assets from the following sources: employee contributions (including certain rollovers), employee loan repayments, exchanges into
the fund from other investment options, Company matching contributions (vested and unvested), earnings and dividends. Ford Motor Company
common stock is valued on the basis of quoted year-end market prices and the short-term interest fund is valued at the net asset value
per share, which is based on the fair value of the underlying net assets. Transactions within this fund are considered related party
transactions to the Plan. The Ford Stock Fund is not available as an investment option for assets attributable to FRP Contributions.
Common
and Commingled Institutional Pools - The common and commingled institutional pool investments are valued at the net asset value per
share of the individual collective pools included in each respective fund, which are based on the fair value of the underlying net assets.
There were no significant unfunded commitments or redemption restrictions on these investments.
Interest
Income Fund - The Interest Income Fund, which invests in fully-benefit responsive synthetic investment contracts, is stated at contract
value. Contract value is the amount participants normally receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of
the Plan. Contract value represents deposits made to the contract, plus earnings at guaranteed crediting rates, less withdrawals and
applicable fees.

The Plan’s policy to recognize transfers between levels of the fair
value hierarchy is as of the actual date of the event of change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no significant transfers
between levels of the fair value hierarchy during 2021 or 2022.
Note 5 - Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) has determined and informed the Company by letter dated June 29, 2017, that the Plan is designed in accordance
with applicable sections of the Code. The Plan has since been amended and restated through December 31, 2022. The Company believes
that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has
been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
The plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to tax examinations
for years prior to 2017.

The Master Trust assets are held by the trustee of the Plan, State Street
Bank and Trust Company. The assets of the Interest Income Fund (the “Fund”) are held by the Fund’s custodian, The Northern
Trust Company.
Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of
the Company or its subsidiaries. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan, nor does the Company allocate any costs
to the Plan.
Note 7 - Plan Termination
The Company, by action of the board of directors, may terminate the Plan
at any time. Termination of the Plan would not affect the rights of a participant as to the continuance of investment, distribution
or withdrawal of their account balance. Upon termination of the Plan, participants would become fully vested. In the
event of termination, all participant notes receivable would become due immediately upon such termination. There are currently no plans
to terminate the Plan.
Note 8 - Reconciliation to Form 5500
The net assets on the financial statements differ from the net assets on
the Form 5500 due to the synthetic GICs held in the Master Trust being recorded at contract value on the financial statements and at fair
value on Form 5500. The net assets on the financial statements compared to those on Form 5500 at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $136.3
million higher and $17.5 million lower, respectively. Additionally, the decrease in net assets on Form 5500 for the year ended December
31, 2022 is higher than the financial statements by $153.9 million.
