On February 27, 2008, the Internal Revenue Service and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
(the PBGC) extended until March 31, 2008, the existing pension funding waivers which permit
Delphi Corporation (Delphi or the Company) to defer certain funding contributions until its
emergence from chapter 11. The waivers would have expired on February 29, 2008. In exchange for
such extension, the Company extended the term of the previously issued letters of credit which may
be drawn upon by the PBGC in favor of the plans in the event the conditions set forth in the
waivers are not satisfied, and increased their face amount by $10 million, from $150 million to
$160 million.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibits being filed as part of this report, as well
as other statements made by Delphi may contain forward-looking statements that reflect, when made,
the Companys current views with respect to current events and financial performance. Such
forward-looking statements are and will be, as the case may be, subject to many risks,
uncertainties and factors relating to the Companys operations and business environment which may
cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any future results, express
or implied, by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements
by forward-looking words such as may, might, will, should, expects, plans,
anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential or continue, the negative of
these terms and other comparable terminology. Factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; the ability of the Company to operate
pursuant to the terms of the debtor-in-possession financing facility and to obtain an extension of
term or other amendments as necessary to maintain access to such facility; the Companys ability to
obtain United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Court) approval
with respect to motions in the chapter 11 cases prosecuted by it from time to time; the ability of
the Company to consummate its amended plan of reorganization which was confirmed by the Court on
January 25, 2008; the Companys ability to satisfy the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase
and Commitment Agreement; risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining Court approval
to terminate or shorten the exclusivity period for the Company to propose and confirm one or more
plans of reorganization, for the appointment of a chapter 11 trustee or to convert the cases to
chapter 7 cases; the ability of the Company to obtain and maintain normal terms with vendors and
service providers; the Companys ability to maintain contracts that are critical to its operations;
the potential adverse impact of the chapter 11 cases on the Companys liquidity or results of
operations; the ability of the Company to fund and execute its business plan (including the
transformation plan described in Item 1. Business Potential Divestitures, Consolidations and
Wind-Downs of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission) and to do so in a timely manner; the ability of
the Company to attract, motivate and/or retain key executives and associates; the ability of the
Company to avoid or continue to operate during a strike, or partial work stoppage or slow down by
any of its unionized employees or those of its principal customers and the ability of the Company
to attract and retain customers. Additional factors that could affect future results are
identified in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007,
including the risk factors in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors, contained therein. Delphi disclaims
any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events and/or otherwise. Similarly, these and other factors, including
the terms of any reorganization plan ultimately confirmed, can affect the value of the Companys
various prepetition liabilities, common stock and/or other equity securities.
