Delphi Announces Potential Amendments to Plan of Reorganization, Investment Agreement and GM Settlement

Market Wire, November, 2007

Although the potential amendments are supported by GM and the Plan Investors, Delphi has been advised by both of its Statutory Committees that they will no longer support the Company's Plan if amended as proposed. The Creditors' Committee opposes changes to the Plan made since the potential amendments filed on Oct. 29, particularly the proposed increase in consideration to the Plan Investors (as a result of the larger discounts to Equity Plan Value agreed to by the Company in exchange for the Plan Investors' proposed investment), the form of distributions to GM and proposed addition of out-of-the-money warrants to common stockholders. The Equity Committee opposes changes from the original Plan filed on Sept. 6, which would reduce recoveries to common stockholders as contemplated in the potential amendments. Absent a consensual resolution of these concerns, both of the Delphi's Statutory Committees are expected to supplement the objections filed by each committee on Nov. 2 and seek other relief from the Bankruptcy Court.

Delphi will continue to work toward a consensus among its principal stakeholders, including the Creditors' Committee and the Equity Committee, recognizing that such an outcome is not assured. In the event these amendments do not become effective, the original underlying agreements as approved by the Bankruptcy Court on Aug. 2 remain in effect. The company continues to pursue emergence from Chapter 11 during the first quarter of 2008.

The potential amendments to the Disclosure Statement Appendices (which include amendments to the POR, the GM Global Settlement Agreement, the GM Master Restructuring Agreement and the Investment Agreement) will be available later today on www.delphidocket.com . The Potential Amendments to the actual Disclosure Statement will be posted to www.delphidocket.com on Nov. 16.

ABOUT DELPHI'S CHAPTER 11 CASE

Delphi's Chapter 11 cases were filed on Oct. 8, 2005, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York and were assigned to the Honorable Robert D. Drain under lead case number 05-44481 (RDD).

The Adequacy Hearing for the Disclosure Statement began on Oct. 3, 2007 and is scheduled to continue on Nov. 29, 2007. Approval of the Disclosure Statement and related voting solicitation procedures permits the company to solicit acceptances of the proposed Plan of Reorganization later this year and seek confirmation of the Joint Plan of Reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court during the first quarter of 2008.
