ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On March 28, 2005, Delphi Corporation (Delphi) reached agreement with a syndicate of lenders to amend certain terms of its $3.0 billion revolving credit facilities (the Credit Facilities), reduced by the amount of any outstanding letters of credit. The Credit Facilities consist of a 364-day revolving credit line in the amount of $1.5 billion, which expires June 2005, and a five-year revolving credit line in the amount of $1.5 billion, which expires June 2009. There are no outstanding amounts under the Credit Facilities and we have never borrowed under either of these Credit Facilities. Under the amended Credit Facilities, the financial covenant for consolidated leverage is tested at each quarter-end using the ratio of total debt (including all receivable factoring and securitization financing) to the aggregate sum of the following amounts: (1) the sum of the preceding four quarters EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facilities), (2) the sum of the preceding four quarters non-cash Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions expense, and (3) the sum of the preceding four quarters cash restructuring charges up to certain predefined levels. The above mentioned ratio cannot exceed 3.5 to 1 for each of the first three quarters of 2005, 3.25 to 1 for the fourth quarter of 2005, and 2.5 to 1 for the first quarter of 2006 and thereafter. This replaces the previous financial covenant in the Credit Facilities, in which the ratio of total debt (excluding up to $1.5 billion of accounts receivable factoring and securitization accounted for as off-balance sheet financings) to the sum of the preceding four quarters EBITDA was not to exceed 3.25 to 1. Delphi also agreed to the elimination of its option to extend repayment for up to one year beyond the expiration date of its 364-day revolving credit line for any amounts outstanding on the expiration date. Additionally, the syndicate of lenders waived Delphis obligation to provide audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 until June 30, 2005, and waived any breach of representations regarding the accuracy of Delphis financial statements caused by delivery of financial statements to the extent such financial statements did not present fairly Delphis financial condition and results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for the reasons disclosed in Delphis Form 8-K Current Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2005. Copies of the amendments to Delphis Credit Facilities are filed as exhibits to this report on Form 8-K.
Delphi has also amended both its U.S. and European trade receivables securitization programs (the U.S. program and European program, respectively). The U.S. program was renewed through March 22, 2006, amended to increase the borrowing limit from $600 million to $731 million, and amended to conform the leverage ratio financial covenant consistent with the amended Credit Facilities covenant. Also, the U.S. program lenders granted waivers similar to those granted under the Credit Facilities amendments. The U.S. program amendment also allows Delphi to maintain effective control over the receivables such that this program will now be accounted for as a secured borrowing. The European program was also amended to conform the leverage ratio financial covenant consistent with the amended Credit Facilities covenant and amended other procedural terms.
