TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On April 12, 2007, Delphi Corporation (“Delphi”) contributed approximately $50 million to its
United States (“U.S.”) pension plans. These defined benefit pension plans are sponsored by Delphi
and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries, all of whom (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed for
court-supervised restructuring under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”). The
amount contributed represents the portion of the pension contribution attributable to services
rendered by employees of the Debtors in the first quarter of 2007. Under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, a minimum funding payment of approximately
$396 million to the U.S. pension plans was due on April 13, 2007. As permitted under Chapter 11,
however, Delphi contributed only the portion of the contribution attributable to
post-bankruptcy-petition service. The unpaid portion of the minimum funding payments remains
payable as a claim against Delphi and will be determined in Delphi’s plan of reorganization with
other claims. Delphi has appointed an independent fiduciary for all of its tax qualified defined
benefit pension plans who is charged with pursuing claims on behalf of the plans to recover minimum
funding contributions.
