Page 11 of 16 This Amendment No. 18 (this "Amendment") to the Schedule 13D (the "Initial Schedule 13D") initially filed on March 16, 2006 by the Reporting Persons (as defined in the Initial Schedule 13D), as amended on August 1, 2006, August 29, 2006, December 19, 2006, January 18, 2007, March 2, 2007, March 12, 2007, May 15, 2007, July 6, 2007, July 10, 2007, July 20, 2007, July 23, 2007, August 3, 2007, November 2, 2007, November 8, 2007, November 16, 2007, December 12, 2007 and March 7, 2008 relates to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Delphi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), and is being filed to amend the Reporting Persons' previously-filed Schedule 13D as specifically set forth below. Certain information contained in this Schedule 13D/A relates to share ownership of persons other than the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim any liability for any such information and for any other information provided in this Amendment that does not expressly pertain to a Reporting Person, as such term is defined in Item 2 of the Initial Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Schedule 13D, and unless otherwise amended hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect. Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following: On March 6, 2008, ADAH filed its objection to the Issuer's 1142 Motion (Docket No. 12978) (the "ADAH Objection"). On March 7, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court held a hearing on the Issuer's 1142 Motion (the "Hearing"). At the conclusion of the Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court denied the Issuer's 1142 Motion, determining that GM's agreements in connection with the Revised Exit Financing were prohibited by section 5(p)(ii) of the EPCA. The Bankruptcy Court also determined that it would require an evidentiary hearing conducted pursuant to the adversary proceeding rules to decide the other issues raised by the parties in connection with the Issuer's 1142 Motion, including whether the changes reflected by the Revised Exit Financing from the Debt Financing contemplated by the EPCA (e.g., reducing the aggregate amount of the financing from $6.8 billion to $6.1 billion) were also prohibited by the EPCA. A copy of the Bankruptcy Court order denying the Issuer's 1142 Motion is attached hereto as Exhibit 50. On March 8, 2008, the Issuer delivered to ADAH a further revised proposed exit financing package (the "Further Revised Exit Financing") which contains terms that are substantially identical to the Revised Exit Financing, except that the materials add a subsidiary of GM to participate in the purchase of the $2 billion first lien note. The Issuer has made public statements that it believes the Further Revised Exit Financing is consistent with guidance the Issuer believes it received from the Bankruptcy Court at the Hearing and is therefore permitted by the EPCA. By correspondence dated March 9, 2008, ADAH, Del-Auto, UBS, Merrill and Pardus DPH informed the Issuer that, (a) for all the reasons set forth in the February 13 and 24 letters and the ADAH Objection, the Further Revised Exit Financing remains inconsistent with, and if funded would not satisfy the conditions of, the EPCA, and (b) they were reserving all of their rights, including with respect to all prior, present and future proposals. Page 12 of 16 There can be no assurance that the disputes described above can be resolved by mutual agreement or in the Bankruptcy Court and there can be no assurance that the transactions contemplated by the EPCA will be consummated. Item 7 is amended to add the following exhibits: 50 Order Denying (1) Emergency Motion of A-D Acquisition Holdings, LLC for (I) a Continuance and (II) an Order Vacating the Order to Show Cause and (2) Expedited Motion Under 11 U.S.C. ss. 1142(b) and Fed.
