Election of Directors
(Resolutions 1 to 11)
All of our current directors are nominated for one-year terms expiring in 2015. The Board has been informed that each nominee is willing to serve as a director. If a director does not receive a majority of the vote
for his re-election, then that director will not be re-elected to the Board, and the Board may fill the vacancy with a different person, or the Board may reduce the number of directors to eliminate the vacancy. Each member of our Board was a member
of Delphi Automotive LLPs Board of Managers immediately prior to the Companys initial public offering, and information below as to each members tenure on our Board also reflects their tenure on Delphi Automotive LLPs Board.
The Board believes that the combination of the various qualifications, skills and experiences of the director nominees would

2014 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT |
BOARD PRACTICES
In order to help our shareholders better understand our Board practices, we are including the
following description of current practices. The Nominating and Governance Committee periodically reviews these practices.
Size of the Board
The Board currently consists of the 11 directors named above. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that our Board must consist of a minimum of two directors. The exact number of directors on our
Board may be changed from time to time as determined by our full Board.
Leadership Structure
The Board believes it is important to retain flexibility to allocate the responsibilities of the offices of the Chairman and CEO in a manner that
is in the best interests of the Company. Currently, the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to separate the positions of CEO and Chairman and to have an independent Non-Executive Chairman. John A. Krol has served in this role
since 2009. It is expected that Mr. Krol will continue to serve as the Non-Executive Chairman, contingent upon his re-election to the Board. The Board believes this leadership structure affords the Company an effective combination of internal
and external experience, continuity and independence, which will serve the Board and the Company well.
Director
Independence
The Board believes that a substantial majority of its members should be independent, non-employee directors. Only
Rodney ONeal, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer and President, is an employee of Delphi. The non-employee directors of the Company are John A. Krol, Gary L. Cowger, Nicholas M. Donofrio, Mark P. Frissora, Rajiv L. Gupta, J. Randall
MacDonald, Sean O. Mahoney, Thomas W. Sidlik, Bernd Wiedemann and Lawrence A. Zimmerman. Prior to his retirement from our Board in April 2013, Michael McNamara was also independent. The Board has determined that all of its non-employee directors and
all director nominees, other than Mr. ONeal, meet the requirements for independence under the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listing standards and the rules required for Audit Committee members by the SEC. Furthermore, the
Board limits membership on the Audit, Compensation and Human Resources, and Nominating and Governance Committees to independent directors.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Board has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are financially
literate, and that Mr. Zimmerman meets the qualifications of the audit committee financial expert, as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Mr. Zimmerman serves as the Chairman of the audit committees of
three additional public companies, and the Board has determined that such simultaneous service will not impair Mr. Zimmermans ability to effectively serve on Delphis Audit
Committee.
Evaluation of Board Performance
The Nominating and Governance Committee coordinates an annual evaluation process by which the directors evaluate the Boards and its
Committees performance and procedures. This self-evaluation leads to a full Board discussion of the results. Each Committee of the Board also conducts an annual evaluation of its performance and procedures.
Director Retirement
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the retirement age for directors is 75, unless waived by the Board. No Director who is or would be over 75 at the expiration of his current term may be nominated to
a new term, unless the Board waives the retirement age for a specific Director. Once granted, such waiver must be renewed annually. The Board carefully considered the application of this policy with respect to Mr. Krol, who is 77. Based upon
the importance of the continuity and leadership he provides as Chairman of the Board, the Board approved a waiver of the retirement age to allow Mr. Krol to continue to serve on the Board.
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that non-employee directors who significantly change their primary employment during their tenure
as Board members must offer to tender their resignation to the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee will evaluate the continued appropriateness of Board membership under the new circumstances and make a
recommendation to the Board as to any action to be taken with respect to such offer.
Nomination of Directors
The Nominating and Governance Committee recommends individuals for membership on the Board. The Nominating and Governance
Committee considers not only a candidates qualities, performance and professional responsibilities, but also the composition of the Board and the challenges and needs of the Board at that time. The Board as a whole is constituted to be strong
in its collective knowledge and diversity of accounting and finance, management and leadership, vision and strategy, business operations, business judgment, crisis management, risk assessment, industry knowledge, corporate governance and global
markets.
The culture of the Board enables the Board to operate quickly and effectively in making key decisions. Board meetings are
conducted in an environment of trust, confidentiality, open dialogue, mutual respect and constructive commentary.

2014 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT |
Board Practices (continued)
The Nominating and Governance Committee views diversity in its broadest sense, which includes
education, ethnicity, experience, gender and leadership qualities. The Nominating and Governance Committee will use the same selection process and criteria for evaluating all nominees, regardless of who submits the nominee for consideration.
Directors are encouraged to submit to the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee the name of any candidate whom they
believe to be qualified to serve on the Board, together with background information on the candidate. In accordance with procedures set forth in our Memorandum and Articles of Association, shareholders holding at least one-tenth of the ordinary
shares outstanding and who have the right to vote at general meetings of the Company may propose, and the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider, nominees for election to the Board at the next annual meeting by giving timely written
notice to the Corporate Secretary, which must be received at our principal executive offices no later than the close of business on February 11, 2015, and no earlier than November 3, 2014. The notice periods may change in accordance with
the procedures set out in our Memorandum and Articles of Association. Any such notice must include the name of the nominee, a biographical sketch and resume, contact information and such other background materials as the Nominating and Governance
Committee may request.
Executive Sessions
Independent directors meet together as a group during each Board meeting, without the CEO or any other employees in attendance. The Chairman
presides over each executive session of the Board. Each Committee also convenes an executive session at which Committee members meet without the CEO or any other employees in attendance.
Boards Role in Risk Oversight
The Board takes an active
role in risk oversight related to the Company both as a full Board and through its Committees, each of which has primary risk oversight responsibility with respect to all matters within the scope of its duties as contemplated by its charter. While
the Companys management is responsible for day-to-day management of the various risks facing the Company, the Board is responsible for monitoring managements actions and decisions. The Board, as apprised by the Audit Committee,
determines that appropriate risk management and mitigation procedures are in place and that senior management takes the appropriate steps to manage all major risks.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
The Board believes that each director should hold a meaningful equity position in the Company and has established equity holding requirements for
our non-employee directors. The holding requirement for each non-employee director is five times the value of his designated annual cash retainer (at least $500,000, based upon the current cash retainer). Each new director will have up to five full
years from his or her date of appointment to fulfill this holding requirement. Current directors were required to hold a minimum of $750,000 in equity until December 31, 2013 and a minimum of $500,000 in equity thereafter. All non-employee
directors hold in excess of this minimum shareholding requirement.
Governance Principles
The Board adopted a formal statement of Corporate Governance Guidelines, which sets forth the corporate governance practices for Delphi. The
Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our website at www.delphi.com by clicking on the tab Investors and then the caption Corporate Governance.
Code of Ethical Business Conduct
Delphi adopted a Code of
Ethical Business Conduct, which applies to all employees and directors, including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethical
Business Conduct is available on Delphis website at www.delphi.com by clicking on the tab Responsibility and then the caption Code of Ethical Business Conduct. Copies of our Code of Ethical Business Conduct are also
available to any shareholder who submits a request to the Corporate Secretary at Delphi Automotive PLC, c/o Delphi Automotive Systems, LLC, 5725 Delphi Drive, Troy, Michigan 48098. We intend to satisfy any disclosure requirement under Item 5.05
of Form 8-K by posting on our website any amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of our Code of Ethical Business Conduct that applies to our directors or officers.
Communications with the Board of Directors
Anyone who wants to
communicate with the Board or any individual member of the Board (or independent directors as a group) may do so by sending a letter addressed to the director or directors in care of the Corporate Secretary at Delphi Automotive PLC, c/o Delphi

2014 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT |
2013 COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Executive Summary
The Compensation and Human Resources Committee (the Compensation Committee), composed entirely of independent directors, is
responsible to the Board for executive compensation at Delphi. The Compensation Committee, in consultation with management and its independent outside advisor, sets the principles guiding the Companys compensation philosophy. Additionally, it
reviews and approves executive compensation for executive officers (including cash compensation, equity incentives, benefits and perquisites) and reports its actions to the Board for review and, as necessary, approval.
In this section, we describe: 1) the material components of our executive compensation programs for the named executive officers or
NEOs; 2) the compensation decisions the Compensation Committee has made under those programs; and 3) the factors considered in making those decisions, including 2013 Company performance. For fiscal year 2013, the NEOs were:
|
|
Rodney ONeal, our Chief Executive Officer and President; |
|
|
Kevin P. Clark, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; |
|
|
James A. Spencer, our Executive Vice President of Operations and President, Latin America; |
|
|
Jeffrey J. Owens, our Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer; and |
|
|
Majdi B. Abulaban, our Senior Vice President, Electrical/Electronic Architecture and President, Asia Pacific. |
Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain and, most importantly, motivate execution of our business plan, which seeks to
balance achievement of targeted near-term results with building long-term shareholder value through sustained execution. Our focus on pay-for-performance and corporate governance ensures alignment with the interests of our shareholders, as
highlighted below:
ALIGNMENT OF STAKEHOLDERS

|
|
|
|
Pay for Performance |
|
Status |
|
We target executive compensation at peer group median and deliver compensation above or below this level when warranted by performance. |
|
ü |
|
|
Over 85% of total compensation for the CEO is performance-based and 65% is granted in equity. |
|
ü |
|
|
75% of total compensation for NEOs other than the CEO is performance-based and 51% is granted in equity. |
|
ü |
|
|
We use a rigorous goal setting process with multiple levels of review. |
|
ü |
|
|
100% of the NEO annual incentive compensation is tied solely to Delphis financial performance. The Committee also retains the ability to apply
negative discretion based upon individual performance. |
|
ü |
|
|
75% of the NEOs long-term incentive compensation is performance-contingent and only delivers value if financial and relative total shareholder return targets are
met, which contributes to sustained long-term corporate financial health and company value. The value of the remaining 25% of NEOs long-term incentive compensation is in the form of time-based RSUs and fluctuates
with stock price. |
|
ü |
|
|
We review and validate our pay-for-performance relationship on an annual basis. |
|
ü |
|
|
We provide no perquisites or special or supplemental health benefits to our NEOs. |
|
ü |
|
|
Our non-qualified, supplemental pension plan is a modified and reduced version of a predecessor plan which was frozen in 2008 (no new
benefits and no new participants). |

We maintain clawback and anti-hedging policies. |

Annual dilution associated with equity awards has been well below our peers. |
|

There are no officer-specific gross-ups or tax assistance on executive perquisites. |
|
ü |
|
|
We maintain a market-aligned severance program with reasonable post-employment provisions. |

We do not have individual change in control agreements and maintain double-trigger equity vesting upon a change in
control. |

2013 Compensation Discussion and Analysis
(continued)
2013 Company Performance Highlights
Our industry is both cyclical and highly dependent on the overall global economy. Our contracts with customers generally have long lead times until
actual revenue is evident in our financial performance. Many times these contracts require significant investment by Delphi prior to the realization of the revenue. We have a strategy of disciplined growth that balances our growth with maintaining
margins and return on capital to ensure we preserve margins in line with our capital investment. The following is a brief summary of our financial performance and Total Shareholder Return (TSR):
|
(1) |
CFBF is cash flow before financing, which is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus cash provided by (used in) investing activities (adjusted
for maturities of time deposits, costs associated with the initial public offering and costs of the MVL acquisition). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and CFBF are used throughout this CD&A and are non-GAAP
financial measures. Please see Appendix A to this proxy statement for a reconciliation of these numbers to U.S. GAAP financial measures. |

DELPHI AUTOMOTIVE

|
2014 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT |
2013 Compensation Discussion and Analysis
(continued)
In addition to the financial performance shown above, we accomplished the following in 2013:
|
|
Successfully integrating the FCI Groups Motorized Vehicles Division (MVL), acquired in late 2012, with our existing connector business,
resulting in substantial operating and financial synergies; |
|
|
Generating gross business bookings of $26.6 billion, based upon expected volumes and pricing; |
|
|
Continuing our focus on diversifying our geographic, product and customer mix, resulting in 33% of our 2013 net sales generated in the North American market, 27%
of our 2013 net sales generated in emerging markets, and 17% generated from our largest customer; |
|
|
Maximizing our operational flexibility and profitability at all points in the normal automotive business cycle, by having approximately 94% of our hourly
workforce based in low cost countries and approximately 32% of our hourly workforce composed of temporary employees; |
|
|
Completing the majority of our previously approved $375 million of restructuring activities initiated at the end of 2012, with the primary focus on Europe,
allowing us to maintain our industry-leading cost structure; |
|
|
Generating $1.8 billion of cash from operations; |
|
|
Initiating regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.17 per ordinary share;
|
|
|
Executing $457 million of share repurchases; and |
|
|
Achieving investment-grade credit rating metrics from Standard & Poors Ratings Services. |
Significant 2013 Compensation Matters Whats New in 2013?
At our 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we received approximately 98.7% of votes cast in support of our executive compensation program.
Management and the Compensation Committee reviewed our shareholders affirmative 2013 Say-on-Pay vote and believe it to be a strong show of support for Delphis executive compensation program. Moreover, during 2013, we met with
approximately half of our institutional investors, who hold more than 75% of our outstanding shares. During these meetings no executive compensation issues were raised.
We believe that in order to increase shareholder value, our executive compensation program must:
|
|
have a majority of direct pay be performance-based (i.e., pay where the value is not guaranteed); |
|
|
link performance-based pay to financial goals that are directly aligned with business strategy; |
|
|
link performance-based pay to stock price performance through use of a total shareholder return metric; and |
|
|
align with compensation-related governance best practice.
|
As such, the Compensation
Committee made the following decisions in 2013:
|
|
|
CEO Compensation |
|
Base salary was increased in August 2013 by approximately 7% to $1,300,000 to appropriately reflect competitive norm; this resulted in a new annual
incentive target of $1,950,000 (150% of base salary). Target total direct compensation (base salary, annual and long-term incentives) remains at the median of our peer group. |
Other NEO Compensation |
|
Total direct compensation of Messrs. Spencer and Owens was adjusted when they were appointed Executive Vice Presidents in February 2013. Mr.
Abulaban also received an adjustment to his compensation package in 2013 taking into account both competitive practice and his performance and growth as a divisional President. (See page 22 for detail.)
Messrs. Clark, Spencer and Owens were awarded an equity continuity award to support
continued performance momentum and solidify operational leadership over the next three years. Award has both a performance-based and time-based components, each weighted 50 percent. (See page 23 for detail) |
Incentive Plan Metrics |
|
Changed the earnings metric in our annual incentive plan from EBITDA to net income (NI) for Corporate participants and operating
income (OI) for business unit participants. NI is defined as revenue adjusted for all operating expenses including depreciation, interest and taxes. This change reinforces consideration of both profit and capital expenditures in business
decisions and ensures enterprise-wide initiatives such as financing and tax planning are considered when measuring overall performance.
Changed the earnings metric in our long-term incentive performance award from cumulative net income, to cumulative earnings per share (EPS) to reflect
the metric viewed by stakeholders as having alignment with sustained value over time. |
Annual Incentive Payout vs. Target |
|
Compensation Committee approved a payout of the 2013 Annual Incentive Plan at an enterprise consolidated basis of 123% of target. The Compensation
Committee sets financial performance metrics for our annual incentive plan at stretch levels to drive superior financial performance, resulting in superior shareholder returns. |

Compensation Philosophy and Strategy How Do We Pay Executives?
General Philosophy in Establishing and Making Pay
Decisions. It is important that we ensure our compensation programs encourage executives to make sound decisions that drive long-term value creation. The Compensation Committee utilizes a
combination of fixed and variable pay elements in order to achieve the following objectives:
|
|
Support Delphis overall business strategy and results as they relate to long-term value creation; |
|
|
Pay for performance by linking incentive compensation to defined short- and long-term performance goals; |
|
|
Attract and retain key executives by providing competitive total compensation opportunities; and |
|
|
Align executive and investor interests by establishing market and investor-relevant metrics which drive and enable shareholder value.
|
Peer Group Analysis. To attract and retain key executives, our goal is to provide compensation opportunities at competitive market rates. We have created a compensation structure that targets the median of our selected peer companies,
but also allows total compensation to exceed the median when our company performance and individual experience, responsibilities and performance warrant.
A key element of this process is selecting a relevant peer group against which we compare our elements of pay. The Compensation Committee reviews and determines the composition of our peer group on an annual basis,
considering input from its independent compensation consultant. Delphis 2013 peer group was made up of the following 18 companies, whose aggregate profile was comparable to Delphi in terms of size, industry and competition for executive
talent. This list is unchanged compared to 2012.
|

AutoLiv Inc. |
|
Illinois Tool Works, Inc. |
BorgWarner Inc. |

|
TRW Automotive Holdings Corp |
In 2013, target total direct compensation (base salary, annual and long-term bonus
incentives) for our officer group, including the NEOs, approximated the median (50th percentile) of the peer group. Compensation for individuals within this group may be
positioned higher or lower than market median where we believe appropriate, considering each executives roles and responsibilities and experience in their position within Delphi. Target total direct compensation for our CEO and among our other
NEOs, on average, was positioned within a competitive range of market median. Adjustments are made only
when we believe there is a market or individual performance issue that should be addressed to preserve the best interests of the shareholders.
Role of the Compensation Committee and Use of Outside Consultants. The scope of the work done by consultants for the Compensation Committee includes the following:
|
|
Analyses and recommendations that inform the Compensation Committees decisions; |
|
|
Preparing and evaluating market data and competitive position benchmarking; |
|
|
Assisting in the design and development of Delphis executive compensation programs; |
|
|
Providing updates on market trends and the regulatory environment as they relate to executive compensation; |
|
|
Reviewing various management proposals presented to the Compensation Committee related to executive compensation; and |
|
|
Working with the Compensation Committee to validate and strengthen the pay for performance relationship and alignment with shareholders.
|
The Compensation Committee retains Compensation Advisory Partners LLC (CAP) as its independent
compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of CAP pursuant to SEC and NYSE rules and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent CAP from independently representing the Compensation
Committee. CAP does not perform other services for Delphi, and will not do so without the prior consent of the Chair of the Compensation Committee. CAP meets with the Compensation Committee Chair and the Compensation Committee outside the presence
of management. In addition, CAP participates in all of the Committees meetings and, when requested by the Compensation Committee Chair, in the preparatory meetings and the executive sessions.
Overview of Executive Compensation What Are the Elements of Pay?
We regularly undertake a comprehensive review of our business plan to identify key strategic initiatives that should be linked to compensation. We
also assess and review the level of risk in our compensation programs to ensure that they do not encourage imprudent risk-taking.
Elements of Executive Compensation. In line with the philosophy described above, we provide the following elements of compensation to our officers, including the NEOs, as displayed in the Summary Compensation Table below:
|
|
Annual incentive award; |
|
|
Long-term incentive award; and |
|
|
Other compensation, which consists primarily of qualified and non-qualified defined contribution plans.

Total Direct Compensation
Mix. Base salary, annual and long-term incentive awards make up our executives total direct compensation. Delphi strives to ensure that a majority of each executives total direct
compensation is comprised of performance-based pay. Our annual incentive and long-term incentive awards are considered performance-based pay because the recipients of these awards must achieve specified performance goals at
corporate, division and individual levels to receive any payment.
Mr. ONeals target performance-based pay makes up
86% of his current total target compensation, which includes the 65% of his total
target compensation that is derived from long-term incentives. His base salary makes up 14% of his total direct compensation. Our remaining NEOs total direct compensation, on average, is
comprised of 76% performance-based pay and 24% base salary, with long-term incentives constituting 52% of total direct compensation. The large proportion of performance-based pay, combined with a focus on long-term incentive awards, aligns the
NEOs interests with the interests of Delphis shareholders.
The mix of compensation for our CEO and other NEOs is shown

Officer Annual Compensation
Determination. Individual base salaries and annual incentive targets for the officers are established based on the scope of each officers responsibilities, individual performance and market
data. For newly hired officers, the Compensation Committee also considered the individuals compensation for his
or her prior role at his or her previous employer. At the beginning of each year, we also define the key strategic objectives each officer is expected to achieve during that year, which are
evaluated and approved by the Compensation Committee.

Base Salary. Base salary is generally targeted at the median of our peer group and is intended to be commensurate with each executives responsibilities, experience and individual performance. For newly hired officers,
the Compensation Committee also takes into account the individuals compensation and role at his or her previous employer.
As
discussed above, several our NEOs received base increases during 2013 due to their expanded responsibilities and peer market reviews. The following table summarizes these increases:

Messrs. ONeal, Spencer, Owens and Abulaban all received base salary adjustments in 2013. Messrs. Spencer and Owens received increases in February 2013 when their job
responsibilities were expanded and they were appointed Executive Vice Presidents. Mr. ONeal received an increase in August 2013 after a market review of officer compensation. Mr. Abulaban also received an increase in August 2013 after a review
of officer compensation; this increase also considered his individual performance since assuming his current role. |
The
Summary Compensation Table displays 2013 pro-rata base salary amounts.
Annual Incentive Plan. Our
Annual Incentive Plan is designed to motivate executives to drive company earnings, cash flow before financing and size growth by measuring the executives performance against the current year business plan at the corporate and relevant
division levels.
The Compensation Committee establishes the annual incentive target for each officer similar to the process for
determining base salary. The approved target is based on his or her position, the size and scope of his or her responsibilities and relevant market data. For 2013, the absolute dollar value of several or our NEOs annual incentive targets were
adjusted in direct correlation to their base salary adjustments (percent of base salary remained constant), as follows:

These targets were effective August 1, 2013 and, as such, the targets are reflected in the 2013 Grants of Plan-Based Award Table on a pro-rata basis.
|
The Compensation Committee, working with management and their independent compensation consultant, also sets the annual
incentive performance objectives and payout levels based on Delphis annual company business objectives, which are then reviewed and approved by the Board. For 2013, each NEOs award payout was determined as follows:
|
|
Corporate performance metrics are weighted 100% for Messrs. ONeal, Clark, Spencer and Owens and 25% for Mr. Abulaban.
|
|
|
Division performance metrics are weighted 75% for Mr. Abulaban. |
|
|
Individual performance objectives may be considered for reduction of the incentive payment if individual objectives are not met (negative discretion only).
|
For 2013, both corporate and division performance objectives were based on the following metrics:
|
|
Corporate performance: NI, CFBF and Revenue Growth (Bookings). |
|
|
Division performance: OI, Simplified Operating Cash Flow (SOCF) and Revenue Growth (Bookings). |
The Compensation Committee selected the following weightings in 2013 for both corporate and division performance metrics:

|
Revenue Growth(3) |
|
|
10% |
|
(1) |
NI (and OI) are appropriate measurements of our underlying earnings for 2013 and a good indication of our overall financial performance. |
(2) |
CFBF and SOCF are different metrics for measuring cash. CFBF is cash flow before financing, which is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus cash provided
by (used in) investing activities. SOCF is defined, on a divisional basis, as EBITDA, plus or minus changes in accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable, less capital expenditures net of proceeds from asset dispositions, plus restructuring
expense, less cash expenditures for restructuring. |
(3) |
Revenue Growth (Bookings) is based on our future business booked in the current fiscal year. In general, in order to achieve the target performance level, a specified percentage
of our planned future sales for the next two calendar years must be booked by the end of the measurement period, in this case the end of fiscal year 2013. |
The NI / OI and CFBF metrics and the award payout levels related to those metrics are measured on a performance matrix, with threshold, target and maximum financial performance requirements and the payout levels
set by the Compensation Committee. Performance below the minimum threshold results in no payout, and performance above the maximum level is capped at a maximum payout, which is 200% of the target award.
Revenue Growth (Bookings) is treated differently from the NI / OI and CFBF metrics, as it includes only a target level without threshold or
maximum performance levels. If Revenue Growth (Bookings) is achieved, the target award level for that metric will be paid. If Revenue Growth (Bookings) is not achieved, the entire Revenue Growth (Bookings) portion of the award will not be paid.

expense, less cash expenditures for restructuring. |
Given the performance levels required for target payment, 2013
performance at both the corporate and division level was above target. As a result, award payout percentages based on corporate and division level metrics ranged from 123% to 128% of target for our NEOs.
Once the preliminary earned awards are determined based on the three financial metrics at the corporate and/or division level, the Compensation
Committee, in conjunction with the CEO, assesses each officers performance based on the attainment of individual performance objectives. Only negative award adjustment is possible. The CEO does not participate in the assessment of his own
performance.
In determining final individual awards, the Compensation Committee evaluates each officers performance objectives
in relation to the division and overall corporate performance, as applicable. The officer performance objectives relate to specific customer relationships, improved cost structure initiatives, health and safety metrics as well as specific
financial improvement goals. Each NEO achieved his individual objectives and, therefore, the Compensation Committee did not consider any downward adjustments to the awards.
The Compensation Committee approved the following 2013 annual incentive awards for the NEOs:

Long-Term Incentive Plan.
Delphis Long-Term Incentive Plan was adopted in 2011. The first awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan were granted in February 2012 in the form of performance and time-based restricted stock units (RSUs). In February 2013, the
second grant of awards under this long-term incentive framework was made under the plan.
Our equity awards include both
performance-based and time-based restricted stock units. The time-based RSUs, which make up 25% of NEOs long term award, vest ratably over three years,
begin-
ning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The performance-based RSUs, which make up 75% of the NEOs long term award, vest at the completion of a three-year performance period. For
the 2013 grant, vesting will occur at the end of 2015. Each NEO will receive between 0% and 200% of his target performance-based award based on the Companys performance against the following company-wide performance metrics:

Relative Total Shareholder Return(3) |
|

(1) |
Average return on net assets is tax-affected operating income divided by average net working capital plus average net property, plant and equipment expense for each calendar
year. |
(2) |
Cumulative EPS is net income attributable to Delphi divided by the weighted number of diluted shares outstanding. This metric replaced the cumulative net income metric used in
our 2012 long-term award. We feel that this metric is better aligned to shareholder interests. |
(3) |
Relative total shareholder return is measured by comparing the average closing price per share of the Companys ordinary shares for all available trading days in the fourth
quarter of 2015 to the average closing price per share of the Companys ordinary shares for all available trading days in the fourth quarter of 2012, including the reinvestment of dividends, and assessing against a comparable measure of the
2013 Russell 3000 Auto Parts Index companies. |
The Compensation Committee established the following 2013 long term award
targets for our NEOs, taking into account scope of responsibilities, individual performance and market data:

These targets were used to determine the number of shares granted and relates to the accounting values reported in
the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table.
The Long-Term Incentive Plan allows for dividend equivalents to be accrued
against unvested shares granted. The dividend equivalent shares only vest if the eligibility requirements under the grants, including performance, are attained. For example, should an executive quit, such dividend equivalent units will not vest.
2013 Continuity Award. In addition to the annual equity award grant, Messrs. Clark, Spencer and Owens also received a separate grant of restricted stock units to support continued performance momentum. We believe leadership
continuity of these three Executive Vice Presidents roles provides the shareholders the best opportunity for continued financial and share price performance.
The 2013 Continuity Award consists of both performance-based and time-based RSUs each weighted 50 percent. The time-based RSUs will vest in February 2016. The performance-based RSUs will vest at the end of a
three-year performance period, in December 2015. The performance metric is average EBITDA margin, which is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization

No shares will be issued if Delphis EBITDA margin falls below the minimum performance level and the final
award cannot exceed the target amount of shares. Mr. Spencer received a 2013 Continuity Award of $2,000,000 and Mr. Clark and Mr. Owens each received an award of $1,500,000. The award recipients need to remain at Delphi through the
entire performance period in order to be eligible to receive a final award.
Other Compensation: Other than base salary and the annual and long-term incentive plans, the only other compensation programs available to our
executives are the programs described below. Generally, only benefits and policies offered to the general salaried employee populations are available to our NEOs.
|
|
Salaried Retirement Savings Program (SRSP). Along with other eligible Delphi salaried employees, our executives are eligible to participate in our broad-based defined contribution plan, the SRSP, which is a qualified plan under Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code (the Code). All contributions are subject to any contribution limits imposed by the Code. |
|
|
Salaried Retirement Equalization Savings Program (SRESP). Under the SRESP, eligible employees receive Delphi contributions in excess of the limits imposed upon the SRSP by the Code. No guaranteed or above-market rates are earned; the investment options available are a
subset of those available to all employees under the SRSP. Additional details regarding benefits and payouts under this plan are provided in Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation below. |
|
|
Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (SERP). A predecessor SERP was frozen (for purposes of credited service and compensation calculations) in September 2008, as described further under Pension Benefits below. A modified, reduced-benefit version
of the plan was approved by the bankruptcy court for retention purposes as part of the formation of Delphi Automotive LLP. As a result, a specified group of executives with executive appointment dates predating September 2008 remain eligible for
reduced supplemental benefits through the modified version of the plan. This plan is unfunded. Additional details regarding accruals and payouts under this plan are provided in Pension Benefits below.
|
Compensation Risk Assessment
The Company undertook a process to assess the extent that risks arising from our compensation programs are reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on the Company. Based on the assessment and the procedures performed, we concluded that our compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Delphi.
The assessment included all of our significant compensation programs, including base pay, the annual incentive plan, and the Long-Term Incentive
Plan. It also included a review of the Compensation Committees minutes, interviews of senior Delphi Human Resources personnel, interviews of selected Delphi financial personnel, reviews of internal control audits and compliance-related
activities and an examination of documents supporting base pay and our material incentive compensation programs. Among the elements evaluated were the following:
|
|
The multiple elements of our compensation packages, including base salary, annual cash incentive programs and long-term incentive programs which vest over a
number of years and provide a balance of short-term and long term incentives with fixed and variable components that promote the long-term sustainability of our business; |
|
|
Long-term incentive plans for our executives that align the interests of the executives with those of our shareholders; |
|
|
Independent oversight by the Compensation Committee; |
|
|
Inclusion of clawback language in the event of a material financial misstatement for certain of our programs; |
|
|
Effective management processes for developing strategic and annual operating plans, and strong internal controls over financial reporting;
|
|
|
Effective segregation of duties between the review of financial results and the determination of the final payouts to individuals; and
|
|
|
The structure of our annual cash incentive program, which is based on a number of different performance measures to avoid employees placing undue emphasis on any
particular performance measure at the expense of other aspects of the business. |
Other Considerations
Stock Ownership Guidelines. To better align our executives interests with those of our shareholders, Delphis Board believes that our officers should maintain an appropriate level of equity interest in Delphi. To that end, our
Board developed the following stock ownership guidelines: Mr. ONeal is required to hold a minimum of five times his
24 DELPHI
AUTOMOTIVE PLC
|
2014 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT |
2013 Compensation Discussion and Analysis
(continued)
base salary; our most senior elected officers (typically our Section 16 officers) are required to hold a minimum of three times their base salaries; and our elected corporate staff officers
are required to hold a minimum of one time their base salaries in Delphi shares. Our officers, including our NEOs, are expected to fulfill the holding requirement within five years. All of our NEOs, except for Mr. Abulaban, had met the
ownership requirement following the 2013 long-term incentive grant. As one of our newest Section 16 officers, Mr. Abulaban is expected to meet his ownership requirement within the five-year period. The Compensation Committee reviews the
ownership level for covered executives each year. Our Board reserves the right to determine appropriate action to be taken in the event a covered individual does not meet the expected guidelines.
Clawback. As a matter of
policy, if our financial statements are materially misstated or in material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under securities laws, then the Compensation Committee will review the circumstances and determine if any participants
should forfeit certain future awards or repay prior payouts. If the misstatement is due to fraud, then the participants responsible for the fraud will forfeit their rights to future awards and must repay any amounts they received from prior awards
due to the fraudulent behavior. The Compensation Committee will update our clawback policy, as appropriate, to comply with the requirements for clawbacks under the final provisions of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act.
Restrictive
Covenants. All executives, including the NEOs, are required to sign confidentiality and non-interference agreements in order to participate in the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The non-interference
agreements include non-compete and non-solicitation covenants, which prevent executives from:
|
|
Working for a competitor or otherwise directly or indirectly engaging in competition with us for 12 months after leaving Delphi; |
|
|
Soliciting or hiring employees for 24 months after leaving Delphi; and |
|
|
Soliciting customers for 24 months after leaving Delphi. |
If the terms of the confidentiality and non-interference agreement are violated, Delphi has the right to cancel or rescind any final Long-Term Incentive Plan award, consistent with applicable law.
No Tax Gross-Ups. We do not
provide any tax gross-ups specific to our officer population. Certain expatriate policy provisions, applicable to all salaried employees, allow for tax gross-ups as reimbursement for additional taxes or expenses incurred due to expatriate status.
No Hedging. The
Company prohibits its directors, officers and employees from engaging in transactions having the effect of hedging the unvested portion of any equity or equity-linked award.

Messrs. Spencer and Owens received base increases when they assumed their executive vice president positions in February 2013. Mr. Spencers annual base salary was
increased to $700,000 and Mr. Owens annual base salary was increased to $627,500. Mr. Clark also became an executive vice president in February 2013. |
(2) |
Base salary and annual incentive awards are eligible for deferral under the SRESP. All of our NEOs participated in the SRESP in 2013. Total base salaries and annual incentive
awards, including the deferred portions, are presented in this Summary Compensation Table. Contributions to the SRESP are displayed in the 2013 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table below. |
(3) |
Messrs. ONeal and Clark each received $500,000 continuity payment bonuses on January 15, 2013 based on a 2012 arrangement. They each are entitled
to additional $500,000 award payments on January 15, 2014 and January 14, 2015 if they remain employed with Delphi on December 31st of the year preceding the
payment date. |
(4) |
The award values reflected in the Stock Awards column are the grant date fair value of the NEOs respective 2013 long-term incentive awards determined in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The grant date for accounting purposes for the annual award was set at February 15, 2013 and the grant date for the special continuity awards was set at February 6, 2013, as approved by the Board of
Directors and Compensation Committee, respectively. For assumptions used in determining the fair value of these awards, see Note 21. Share-Based Compensation to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The award values include performance-vesting RSUs and reflect the value on the grant date based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions. If maximum performance were achieved, the stock award
value would be $13,542,623 for Mr. ONeal; $6,279,491 for Mr. Clark; $6,190,781 for Mr. Spencer; $4,360,938 for Mr. Owens and $1,749,337 for Mr. Abulaban. |
(5) |
The Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column reflects payments made under our 2013 Annual Incentive Plan. |
(6) |
Except for Mr. Clark, all of our NEOs were eligible to participate in the SERP during 2013. The Change in Pension Value and Non-qualified Deferred Compensation
Earnings column for our active NEOs reflects the year-over-year change of our estimated liability on our balance sheet. Although the SERP is a frozen program (see Pension Benefits below for a discussion of the frozen plan) with
fixed measurement parameters, the year-over-year balances change because the NEOs age and the interest rates used to estimate the award value change each year. |

Amounts reported in the All Other Compensation column for 2013 reflect the following: |

(a) |
This column reflects Delphis contributions to both the qualified SRSP and the non-qualified SRESP. For all participants in the SRSP, Delphi provides a contribution of 4% of
base salary and annual incentive award. We also provide a matching contribution equal to 50% of the participants contributions to the program, up to a maximum of 7% of the participants base salary and annual incentive award. Additional
details regarding the SRESP are provided in connection with the 2013 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table below. |
(b) |
This column reflects the amount imputed to each NEOs income for premium payments made to his life insurance policy. |
(c) |
This amount reflects payments related to Mr. Owens transfer and relocation from Kokomo, Indiana to Troy, Michigan, including a gross-up on these payments. Such gross-up is
available to all employees eligible under the relocation policy and is not officer specific. The gross-up total amount is $90,087. |
(d) |
Mr. Abulaban is on an expatriate assignment. The payments represented in this column include: housing allowance, living cost allowance and tax equalization.
|
(e) |
Executives who were employed at the former Delphi Corporation qualified for a non-qualified supplemental plan called the Benefit Equalization Plan. Under the plan, Delphi would
contribute lost matching company contributions to the underlying qualified contributory plan in existence at that time because Internal Revenue Service Code limits were reached. The plan was frozen and eventually terminated during our bankruptcy
proceedings. The frozen accrued account balances were assumed by Delphi LLC and paid out to the executives on October 15, 2013. |

These columns show the threshold, target and maximum awards payable to our NEOs under the 2013 Annual Incentive Plan. The final award is determined by both Corporate and Division
performance, as well as individual performance, as determined by the Compensation Committee. |
(2) |
These columns show the threshold, target and maximum awards possible under the performance-vesting RSUs granted pursuant to our 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan including dividend
equivalent units. It also includes the continuity award performance shares granted to Messrs. Clark, Spencer and Owens. The final awards under the annual equity award will be based on three performance metrics (RONA, EPS and TSR) and the continuity
award performance shares will be based on the average EBITDA margin, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis Long-Term Incentive Award and 2013 Continuity Award sections. The three-year performance period for both awards is from
January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015. Performance will be determined following the end of the performance period and shares will be distributed no later than March 15, 2015. |
(3) |
This column shows the number of RSUs granted to our NEOs in 2013 and includes the continuity grant RSUs awarded to Mr. Clark, Mr. Spencer and Mr. Owens.
Mr. Spencer received 30,488 RSUs and Mr. Clark and Mr. Owens each received 22,866 RSUs under the continuity award. The RSUs granted to all NEOs under the 2013 annual award will vest ratably over three years on the first, second and
third anniversary dates of the grant. The continuity award will cliff vest in February 2016. |
(4) |
The grant date fair value of the award determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions, excluding the effect of
estimated forfeitures. Except for the performance shares based on TSR (20% of the performance awards), the grant date value for the equity awards was determined to be the closing price of our stock on the New York Stock Exchange. The grant date
closing price on February 6, 2013 was $38.60 for Messrs. Clarks, Spencers and Owens continuity awards, while the grant date closing price on February 15, 2013 was $39.98 for all the other NEOs awards. The grant
date price for the TSR performance shares was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation and was set at $53.54 per share. |

PENSION BENEFITS
Certain executives, including the NEOs, are eligible to receive benefits under the SERP. The SERP
was approved by the bankruptcy court for retention purposes as part of the formation of Delphi Automotive LLP.
The SERP is a modified
and reduced-benefit form of a pre-bankruptcy supplemental executive defined benefit plan, which was frozen on September 30, 2008. As a result of the freeze, no new benefits have accrued and no new participants have been allowed to join the plan
after this date, although a reduced portion of benefits continue to be available to executives who were eligible participants prior to the freeze date. This plan is a non-qualified and unfunded defined benefit plan that supplemented the benefits of
an underlying qualified defined benefit pension plan. This qualified plan was assumed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the PBGC) in July 2009.
Eligibility
To qualify for participation in the SERP, eligible
executives, including the NEOs, must meet both of the following requirements:
|
|
The executive was appointed to an executive position at the former Delphi Corporation, as of September 30, 2008; and |
|
|
The executive was employed by Delphi on October 6, 2009, upon the formation of Delphi Automotive LLP. |
To receive benefits under the SERP:
|
|
The executive must remain continuously employed by Delphi until the earlier of separation, death or disability; and |
|
|
At the time of termination of employment, death or disability, the executive must: |
|
|
Have at least 10 years of service (unless the executive is involuntarily separated other than for cause, in which case the
|
|
requirement is five years of service); and be at least 55 years of age (unless the executive is involuntarily separated other than for cause or dies in which events the eligible executive or the
surviving spouse will begin receiving payment of benefits when the executive attains or would have attained age 55). |
In
addition, any participant, including an NEO, is only eligible for the SERP upon a voluntary termination if one of the two following requirements is met:
|
|
The participant has at least 10 years of service and is 60 years old as of the voluntary termination date; or |
|
|
The participant has been employed by the Company for at least two years dating from October 6, 2009. |
Of the NEOs, Messrs. ONeal, Spencer and Owens meet the age and service requirements and are eligible to receive SERP benefits.
SERP Calculation Methods and Assumptions
The formulas of the SERP provide for a benefit that is based on eligible pay multiplied by eligible years of credited service. This benefit is
then reduced by several factors, including the following:
|
|
An unreduced age 62 benefit calculated under the former |
|
Delphi Corporations qualified pension plan (the SRP). |
|
|
Social Security benefits. |
|
|
Participants departure from the Company prior to age 62. |
SERP benefits are reduced by the above factors regardless of whether the participant actually receives these benefits. For example, participants who would otherwise receive a pension benefit under the SRP will
actually receive their benefit from the PBGC at a substantially reduced level; however, the higher SRP amount will be used to calculate a reduction of the participants SERP benefits.

Pension Benefits (continued)
Under the SERP, a participant receives the higher of one of the two following formulas:

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
{ |

X |
|
Total years of credited service |
|
} |
|
|
|
Frozen Predecessor qualified plan benefit |
|
|
|
Maximum primary Social Security benefit |
In the regular formula, average monthly base salary is calculated based on the participants monthly base
salary for the highest-paid 48 months between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2006. His or her total years of credited service are counted as of December 31, 2006.
The alternative formula bases the benefit on average total direct compensation, which is the average monthly base salary, as defined in the
regular formula, plus an average of the highest four years of annual incentive awards earned during the period through and inclusive of 2006.
In both formulas, service is credited as of December 31, 2006, and under the alternative formula is capped at 35 years. Under both formulas, the benefit is further reduced by an additional 10%. The benefit
will be paid out in the form of a five-year annuity.
Valuation Method and Assumptions
The actuarial present value of accumulated benefits for the SERP shown in the 2013 Pension Benefit table below is based on benefits accrued as of
September 30, 2008, the last day on which benefits
were accumulated under the former Delphi Corporations qualified plan. The amounts reflect the method and assumptions used in calculating our pension liability under U.S. GAAP as of that
date, except that each participant is assumed to remain actively employed until the earliest he or she is eligible for unreduced benefits. The material assumptions used in the calculation were:
|
|
Discount rate: 3.0%, which is developed by RATE:Link, a globally consistent model for markets classified as having deep AA corporate bond markets.
|
|
|
Applicable Mortality Table based on Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 2001-62. |
All of the figures shown are estimates only; actual benefit amounts will be based on the age, interest rates, mortality rates and other
circumstances in effect upon the actual termination of employment or death of the participant.
The following table sets forth
information regarding benefits provided to and years of service credited to eligible NEOs under the SERP.

2014 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT |
NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The SRESP is a non-qualified deferred compensation program available to a limited number of
employees, including the NEOs. Under the SRESP, participants receive Delphi contributions in excess of the limits imposed upon the SRSP, our 401(k) plan, by the Internal Revenue Code.
Plan Benefits
Employees who were eligible for SRESP deferrals
in 2013, including the NEOs, were permitted to defer additional income above $255,000, which is the maximum income deferral level imposed upon the SRSP by the Internal Revenue Code in 2013, into a SRESP deferral account. They also received the
following benefits:
|
|
All SRESP-eligible employees receive a Delphi contribution of 4% of their base salary and annual incentive award. This contribution occurs even if the individual
does not elect to make deferrals into the SRESP. |
|
|
Eligible employees who made deferral contributions under the SRESP received an additional Delphi matching contribution of 50% on the individuals voluntary
deferrals up to 7% of the base salary and annual incentive award over the qualified plan limit, which constitutes a maximum contribution by Delphi of 3.5% of each eligible employees base salary. |
Investment Options
Participants in the SRESP may select investment options for their deferred amounts. The investment options consist of a cross-section
of the funds that are also available to participants in the SRSP and do not offer any guaranteed or above-market returns.
Deferral Election Process
The SRESP deferral election process
is conducted prior to the year in which eligible income is earned. For the 2013 plan, deferral elections were required to be made by December 2012. During this process, eligible employees were allowed to make deferral elections related to their 2013
base salary and any annual incentive award based on 2013 performance that would be scheduled to be paid in 2014 (but no later than March 15, 2014).
Distributions
Eligible employees must also elect a distribution date for their deferred amounts. A base salary deferral must remain deferred for a minimum of
one year, and any annual incentive deferral must remain deferred for a minimum of two years.
Vesting
All employee deferrals and Delphi contributions are immediately vested.
The values displayed in the table below include contributions to the NEOs SRESP accounts by the NEOs and by Delphi in 2013, as well as the aggregate balances of these accounts at the end of 2013.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON
TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
Employment Arrangements
As part of the formation of Delphi Automotive LLP, each NEO was required to sign a new offer letter with the Company. Messrs. ONeal,
Spencer, Owens and Abulaban each received and signed an offer letter upon beginning their employment in October 2009. These offer letters described compensation and benefits provided to the NEOs.
Mr. Clark received an offer letter upon commencement of his employment in July 2010. In addition to describing terms and conditions of
employment consistent with those included in the other NEOs offer letters, Mr. Clarks offer letter also includes severance provisions, which provide for 18 months of base pay plus 1.5 times annual bonus target in the event he is
terminated by the Company without cause.
We have no individual change in control agreements with any of the NEOs, as all change in
control agreements were eliminated upon the formation of Delphi Automotive LLP in October 2009. The only applicable change in control provisions are those provided in our incentive plans, as described below.
Each executive who participates in the annual Long Term Incentive Plan equity grant must sign a grant agreement, as well as a non-interference and
confidentiality agreement, described above in the Compensation and Discussion and Analysis section. The non-interference agreement includes both non-compete and non-solicitation covenants.
Annual Incentive Plan
In the event of a change in control,
each executives annual incentive target award will be prorated for the time period between the plan start date and the effective change in control date. A payment will also be calculated for that time period based on actual performance and
compared to the prorated target, with the executive receiving the larger of the two values. Payment of the award will be made by March 15th of the calendar year following the year in which a change in control occurs.
A change in control under the annual incentive plan occurs if any of the following events occurs:
|
|
A change in ownership or control of Delphi resulting in any person or group other than Delphi or a Delphi employee benefit plan acquiring securities of Delphi
possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of Delphis equity securities outstanding after such acquisition; |
|
|
The majority of the board as of the date of the initial public offering is replaced by persons whose election was not approved by a majority of the incumbent
board; or |
|
|
The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Delphi, in one or a series of related transactions, to any person or group other than Delphi.
|
If involuntarily terminated without cause as defined below, each executive, including the NEOs, will
also be eligible for a prorated portion of his or her annual incentive award. The period used to determine the prorated award will be the beginning of the performance period to the individuals termination date.
Long Term Incentive Plan
An equity award must be outstanding for one year in order to receive any benefit at termination. Upon a voluntary resignation from Delphi, including retirement, except as described below for Mr. Clark and
Mr. ONeal, any time-based RSUs that have not vested will be cancelled. Upon a termination without cause, for good reason or due to death or disability, the time-based RSUs will be pro-rated over the period between the grant date and
termination date. Any unvested pro-rata awards will be delivered at the next scheduled vesting date.
Upon a termination without cause,
for good reason or due to retirement, death or disability, except as described below for Mr. ONeal, any outstanding performance-based RSUs will be pro-rated over the period between the grant date and termination date. The final
performance payout will be determined at the end of the performance period and shares will be distributed at the time of the general distribution.
As part of a continuity award given to Mr. Clark in 2012, any equity award outstanding for more than 1 year will be pro-rated upon his departure, provided he remains with Delphi through January 15, 2014.
Mr. ONeal has a provision in his grant agreement that allows him to retain all target shares (time-based and
performance-based) granted in the event of a qualified retirement. Mr. ONeal is currently retirement-eligible.
If an
executive voluntarily departs (with the exception of the retirement provisions discussed above) or is terminated for cause, or in the event of any termination prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, all outstanding unvested equity awards
will be canceled.
Cause is defined in the Long Term Incentive Plan as:
|
|
Indictment for a felony or for any other crime that has or could be reasonably expected to have an adverse impact on performance of duties to Delphi or on the
business or reputation of Delphi; |
|
|
The NEO being the subject of any order regarding a fraudulent violation of securities laws;
|
32 DELPHI
AUTOMOTIVE PLC
|
2014 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT |
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control (continued)
|
|
Conduct in connection with employment or service that is not taken in good faith and has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in material injury to
the business or reputation of Delphi; |
|
|
Willful violation of Delphis code of conduct or other material policies; |
|
|
Willful neglect in the performance of duties for Delphi, or willful or repeated failure or refusal to perform these duties; or |
|
|
Material breach of any applicable employment or lock-up agreement. |
Good reason is defined in the Long Term Incentive Plan as:
|
|
A material diminution in base salary; |
|
|
A material diminution in authority, duties or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to the change in control; |
|
|
Relocation of the NEOs principal place of employment more than 50 miles from its location immediately prior to the change in control; or
|
|
|
Any other action or inaction that is a material breach by Delphi of the agreement under which the NEO provides services to us. |
Upon a qualifying termination (or for Mr. ONeal, upon a termination for any reason) within two years after a change in control, or upon
a change in control if a replacement award is not provided, all outstanding unvested equity awards will vest as follows:
|
|
Time-based RSUs will vest in full. |
|
|
After a determination by the Compensation Committee of the Companys performance at the time of the change in control, the number of performance-based RSUs
that will vest will be equal to the greater of (a) the performance RSUs earned through the change in control date, or (b) 100% of the performance RSUs granted. |
A replacement award is an award with respect to the stocks of Delphi or its successor that is at least equal in value to the
out-
standing award, is a publically traded security and has no less favorable terms than the outstanding award. A qualifying termination after a change in control includes any termination by Delphi
without cause, or by the NEO for good reason, or due to death or disability.
Severance and SERP Payments
At the time of the formation of Delphi Automotive LLP, certain executives, including the NEOs, were required to choose between
receiving consideration under our severance plan, the Separation Allowance Plan, or the SERP, in the event that the executive was involuntarily terminated. This irrevocable election prevents an executive from receiving both severance and the
non-qualified defined benefit retirement benefits in the event of an involuntary termination.
As such, if the executive is
involuntarily terminated from Delphi, he or she will receive either a severance payment under the Separation Allowance Plan or a SERP payment, but not both. Because he is ineligible for the SERP, Mr. Clark would only be eligible to receive a
severance payment under the Separation Allowance Plan should he be involuntarily terminated. The table below reflects the choices made by each NEO except Mr. Clark:

In all scenarios except a voluntary termination, the NEO is entitled to a prorated annual incentive award. If the NEO voluntarily terminates employment, he must have worked on
the last business day of the year in order to receive his annual incentive award; if not, the award is forfeited in its entirety. For each NEO, annual incentive award payments are subject to individual performance assessment and will be paid at the
conclusion of the performance period. |
(2) |
Upon a qualifying termination following a change in control, the outstanding equity awards would be delivered. The value shown is based on the market value of the award using a
per-share price of $60.13, the closing price of our stock on December 31, 2013. |
(3) |
Mr. Clark and Mr. Abulaban are eligible to receive payments under the Separation Allowance Plan. The Separation Allowance Plan payment to each is equal to 18 months of base
salary, plus 1.5 times the value of the annual incentive plan target award. |
(4) |
For involuntary termination without cause, receipt of benefits under the SERP or Separation Allowance Plan is dependent on the selection made by the NEO in his offer letter. For
NEOs who elected to receive benefits through the SERP, the payment values are the same as those included in the Pension Benefits Table. Mr. Clark is ineligible for the SERP. As noted above, his offer letter provided the terms of any severance
he would receive upon an involuntary termination. |
(5) |
In the event of a qualifying termination within two years after a change in control (for Mr. ONeal, any termination within two years after a change in control) the
NEOs awards will vest as described under Long Term Incentive Plan above. Also as described above under Long Term Incentive Plan, if at the time of a change in control the NEOs do not receive replacement awards, their
awards will vest upon the change in control regardless of whether their employment is terminated. |
(6) |
Mr. ONeal is eligible for a pro-rated portion of his long-term incentive award upon voluntary departure after attaining age 55 and with 10 years or more of service
with the Company provided that the award has been outstanding for at least one year. |
(7) |
In the event of death, an eligible NEOs spouse is entitled to immediate payment through the SERP. Amounts are derived from the amounts shown in the Pension Benefits Table.
In addition, any outstanding balance under the SRESP will be paid within 60 days of the NEOs death to his beneficiary or estate. |
(8) |
In the event of termination from Delphi due to disability, Messrs. ONeal, Spencer, Owens and Abulaban would receive the same benefit as a voluntary departure after
attaining age 55 and with at least 10 years of service. |

2014 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT |
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control (continued)
In addition to the specific payments and benefits described above, the NEOs also would have been
entitled to receive any benefits due under the terms of the SERP, described in further detail under Pension Benefits, as well as under the SRESP, described in further detail in connection with the 2013 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
table above. As required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code, all NEOs who have elected to participate in the SRESP must wait six months to receive a payment under the plan by reason of termination of employment. Payments for departure on
December 31, 2013 would be made within 60 days after July 1, 2014. All amounts are estimates only, and actual amounts will vary depending upon the facts and circumstances applicable at the time of the triggering event.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be soliciting
material or filed or incorporated by reference in future filings with the SEC, or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates
it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Audit
Committee currently consists of Messrs. Zimmerman (Chairman), Cowger, Mahoney, Sidlik and Wiedemann. All of the members of the Audit Committee are independent directors under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and the rules of the SEC. In
addition, the Board has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are financially literate under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and that Mr. Zimmerman qualifies as an audit committee financial expert under
the rules of the SEC.
The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, which is evaluated annually. The
charter of the Audit Committee is available on Delphis website at www.delphi.com by clicking on the tab Investors and then the caption Corporate Governance.
The Audit Committee selects, evaluates and, where deemed appropriate, replaces Delphis independent registered public accountants. The Audit
Committee also pre-approves all audit services, engagement fees and terms, and all permitted non-audit engagements, except as otherwise prohibited under applicable law.
Management is responsible for Delphis internal controls and the financial reporting process. Delphis independent registered public accountants are responsible for performing an audit of Delphis
consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). The Audit Committees responsibility is to
monitor and oversee these processes.
In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed Delphis audited financial statements for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and has met and held discussions with management and Ernst & Young LLP (EY), the Companys independent registered public accountants. Management represented to the Audit
Committee that Delphis consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2013 were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The discussions between the Audit Committee and EY included the
matters required to be discussed by Rules on Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, and Related and Transitional Amendments to PCAOB Standards.
The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and letter from EY required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding EYs communications with the Audit
Committee concerning its independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with EY the accounting firms independence.
Based upon
the Audit Committees discussions with management and EY and the Audit Committees review of the representation of management and the report of EY to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited
consolidated financial statements be included in Delphis Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC.
The Audit Committee also considered whether non-audit services provided by EY during 2013 were compatible with maintaining their independence and concluded that such non-audit services did not affect their
independence.

such pre-approvals are then reported to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
During 2013 and 2012, EY provided

A representative of EY will be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a

ADVISORY VOTE TO
APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are
providing shareholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory, non-binding vote on the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.
Our executive compensation programs are designed to align executive and shareholder interests by reinforcing the long-term growth, value creation and sustainability of Delphi and to ensure that the majority of
compensation opportunities are a result of pay-for-performance.
The Company is presenting Resolution 13, which gives shareholders the
opportunity to approve or not approve our compensation program for NEOs by voting for or against the following resolution (a say-on-pay vote). While the vote on the resolution is advisory in nature and therefore will not bind us to
take any particular action, the
Board intends to carefully consider the shareholder vote resulting from the proposal in making future decisions regarding the Companys compensation programs.
RESOLVED, that the Companys shareholders approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation paid to the
Companys named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement accompanying this notice pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commissions compensation disclosure rules, including the Compensation Discussion and
Analysis, the compensation tables and narrative discussion.

Shareholders and this Proxy Statement have been sent to multiple shareholders who share the same address and last name, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of those shareholders. This procedure is referred to as
householding. We have been notified
that certain intermediaries (brokers or banks) will also household proxy materials. We will deliver promptly, upon oral or written request, separate copies of the Annual Report and Proxy
Statement to any shareholder at the same address. If you wish to receive separate copies of one or both of these documents, or if you do not wish to participate in householding in the future, you may write to our Corporate Secretary at Delphi
Automotive PLC, c/o Delphi Automotive Systems, LLC, 5725 Delphi Drive, Troy, Michigan 48098, or call (248) 813-2000. You may contact your broker or bank to make a similar request. Shareholders sharing an address who now receive multiple copies
of our Annual Report and Proxy Statement may request delivery of a single copy of each document by writing or calling us at the address or telephone number above or by contacting their broker or bank (provided the broker or bank has determined to
household proxy materials).
Record Date
Shareholders owning Delphi ordinary shares at the close of business on February 3, 2014 (the record date), may vote at the 2014 Annual Meeting. On that date, 306,389,149 ordinary shares were outstanding. Each
Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.
Voting prior to the
Annual Meeting
If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote by proxy in any of the following ways:
By Internet or Telephone If you have Internet or telephone access, you may authorize the submission of a proxy on your behalf by following the voting instructions in the materials you receive. If you vote by Internet or telephone, you
should not return your proxy card.
By Mail You may vote by mail by completing, dating and signing your proxy card and mailing it in the envelope provided. You must sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card. If you are signing in a
representative capacity (for example, as officer of a corporation, guardian, executor, trustee or custodian), you must indicate your name and title or capacity.
If you vote over the Internet or by telephone, your vote must be received by 1:00 a.m., Central Time, on April 1, 2014.
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. The street name holder will provide
you with instructions that you must follow in order to have your shares voted.

2014 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT |
OTHER INFORMATION (continued)
Changing Your Vote before the Annual Meeting
If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy before it is exercised by:
|
|
Written notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company, c/o Delphi Automotive Systems, LLC, 5725 Delphi Drive, Troy, Michigan 48098;
|
|
|
Timely delivery of a valid, later-dated proxy or later-dated vote by Internet or telephone; or |
|
|
Voting in person at the Annual Meeting. |
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your brokerage firm, bank or other holder of record.
Voting at the Annual Meeting
If you are a shareholder of record, you may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting or you may be represented by another person at the Annual Meeting by executing a proxy designating that person.
If you hold your shares in street name and you wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a proxy issued in your name from the
street name holder.
Quorum for the Annual Meeting
A quorum will consist of one or more shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent shares of not less than a majority of the
total voting rights of all of the shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Voting Tabulation
To be approved, Resolutions 1 to 12 require a simple majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting in favor of each Resolution,
assuming a quorum has been met. If a director does not receive a majority of the votes cast for his re-election, then that director will not be re-elected to the Board, and the Board may fill the vacancy with a different person, or the Board may
reduce the number of directors to eliminate the vacancy. A simple majority of the votes cast is also required for Resolution 13 to be considered approved, assuming a quorum has been met; however, the vote is advisory and is not binding on our Board
or the Company. Abstentions are not counted as votes cast.
Broker Non-Votes
A broker non-vote occurs when the broker that holds your shares in street name is not entitled to vote on a matter without instruction from you
and you do not give any instruction. Unless instructed otherwise by you, brokers will not have discretionary authority to vote on any matter other than Resolution 12, which is considered to be
routine for these purposes. It is important that you cast your vote for your shares to be represented on all matters.
Attending the Annual Meeting
If you plan to attend the Annual
Meeting, you must present proof that you own Delphi shares to be admitted.
Record Shareholders. If you are a record shareholder (a person who owns shares registered directly in his or her name with Computershare,
Delphis transfer agent) and plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please indicate this when voting, either by marking the attendance box on the proxy card or responding affirmatively when prompted during telephone or Internet voting.
Owners of Shares Held in Street Name. Beneficial owners of Delphi ordinary shares held in street name by a broker, bank or other nominee will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the Annual Meeting. A recent brokerage statement or letters from
the broker, bank or other nominee are examples of proof of ownership. If your shares are held in street name and you want to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a written proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your
shares.
Accessing Proxy Materials on the Internet
This Proxy Statement and our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available at www.delphi.com.
If you received a printed copy of our proxy materials, you may choose to receive future proxy materials by email. Choosing to receive your future
proxy materials by email will lower our costs of delivery and is beneficial for the environment. If you choose to receive our future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to view those
proxy materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it or for so long as the email address provided by you is valid.
Notice and Access
The SEC permits companies to furnish proxy materials to shareholders by providing access to these documents over the Internet instead of mailing a printed copy. Accordingly, we mailed a Notice of Internet
Availability of Proxy Materials (the Notice) to shareholders. Shareholders have the ability to access, view and print the proxy materials on a website referred to in the Notice and request a printed set of proxy materials.
Proxy Solicitation
We will pay the cost for soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting. Delphi will distribute proxy materials and follow-up reminders by mail and electronic means. We have engaged Morrow & Co., LLC
(Morrow) at 470 West Avenue, Stamford, CT 06902 to assist with
DELPHI AUTOMOTIVE

Delphi employees, officers and directors may also solicit proxies by mail, telephone or personal visits. They will not receive any additional compensation for their services.
We will reimburse brokers, banks, and other nominees for their expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.
