ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
Amendment to GM Advance Agreement
On September 17, 2009, Delphi Corporation (“Delphi” or the “Company”) entered into a further
amendment (the “Fourteenth Amendment”) to its existing liquidity agreement (the “GM Advance
Agreement”) between Delphi and General Motors Company (as assignee of Motors Liquidation Company,
formerly known as General Motors Corporation) ( “GM”). As set forth more fully below, the effect
of the Fourteenth Amendment was to extend the deadline for Delphi to satisfy certain milestones,
which if not met, would prevent Delphi from continued access to the facility.
As previously reported, the GM Advance Agreement was amended and restated on June 1, 2009 to
provide Delphi with an additional $250 million credit facility (the “Tranche C Facility”), subject
to Delphi’s continued satisfaction of certain conditions and milestones. For a complete
description of the terms of the GM Advance Agreement as so amended and restated prior to the First
and Second Amendments, see Delphi’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed June 18, 2009, July 30, 2009,
August 3, 5, 7, 10, 17, 19, 24, and 28, 2009, September 4, 2009 and Delphi’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and Delphi’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009. The following description of the terms of the Fourteenth Amendment is
qualified by reference to the full text of the amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99(a)
to this report and incorporated by reference herein.
Delphi’s continued ability to request advances under the Tranche C Facility is conditioned on
progress in achieving the transactions contemplated by the confirmed First Amended Joint Plan
Reorganization as modified (as further modified, amended and supplemented, the “Modified Plan”), as
filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the
“Court”) on June 16, 2009. Specifically, prior to the Fourteenth Amendment, the ability of Delphi
to request advances on or after September 17, 2009 was conditioned on the entry by the Court of an
order, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to GM, approving the Modified Plan or an
implementation agreement pursuant to which the parties to the Master Disposition Agreement, dated
June 1, 2009, as revised and amended, among Delphi, GM Components Holdings, LLC, GM and Parnassus
Holdings II, LLC, would perform their obligations thereunder pursuant to Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code, independent of and not pursuant to or contingent on the effectiveness of the
Modified Plan. The Fourteenth Amendment extends the September 17, 2009 date until 8:00 p.m.
(Eastern time) on September 29, 2009. All other terms of the GM Advance Agreement remain in
effect.
Amendment to Accommodation Agreement
On September 17, 2009, Delphi entered into a further amendment (the “Thirty-Third Amendment”), to
its accommodation agreement (as previously amended and supplemented through the date hereof, the
“Accommodation Agreement”), with its lenders under its existing debtor-in-possession financing
agreement (the “Amended and Restated DIP Credit Facility”) (consisting of a $1.1 billion first
priority revolving credit facility (the “Tranche A Facility”), a $500 million first priority term
loan (the “Tranche B Term Loan”) and a $2.75 billion second priority term loan (the “Tranche C Term
Loan”)), with the lenders under the Amended and Restated DIP Credit Facility (the “DIP Lenders”).
The effect of the Thirty-Third Amendment is to extend the term of the Accommodation Agreement to
8:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on September 29, 2009. The following description of the Thirty-Third
Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the text of such amendment, a copy of which is filed as
Exhibit 99(b) to this report and incorporated by reference herein. A description of the material
terms of the Accommodation Agreement prior to such modifications is set forth in Delphi’s Current
Reports on Form 8-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31,
2009, as amended on April 1, 2009 solely for the purposes of adding an exhibit, April 3, 2009, as
amended on April 7, 2009 solely for the purposes of adding another exhibit, April 23, 2009, May 8,
2009, June 2, 9, 18, 22, and 24, 2009, July 1, 8, 13, 20, 22, and 30, 2009, August 3, 5, 7, 10,
17, 19, 24, and 28, 2009 and September 4, 2009 (the “Original Forms 8-K”), which descriptions are
incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to the Accommodation Agreement, as in effect prior to the Thirty-Third Amendment (the
“Prior Accommodation Agreement”), the lenders agreed, among other things, to allow Delphi to
continue using the proceeds of the Amended and Restated DIP Credit Facility and to forbear from the
exercise of certain default-related remedies, in each case until September 17, 2009, subject to the
continued satisfaction by Delphi of a number of covenants and conditions. The Thirty-Third
Amendment further extends that date until 8:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on September 29, 2009. There
currently remains approximately $230 million outstanding under the Tranche A Facility, $310 million
outstanding under the Tranche B Term Loan and $2.75 billion outstanding under the Tranche C Term
Loan under the Amended and Restated DIP Credit Facility. The Thirty-Third Amendment also provides
that the requisite majority of DIP Lenders have 95 business days (modified from 85 business days)
to notify Delphi that the modified plan of reorganization filed on June 1, 2009 is not
satisfactory.
The remaining provisions in the Accommodation Agreement are materially unchanged. For information
regarding the current terms of the Accommodation Agreement, as modified, which is not otherwise set
forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the covenants and conditions of the lenders’
continued forbearance from exercising remedies through
the accommodation period and including the ability to access certain cash collateral accounts, see
Delphi’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “Annual Report”),
including the exhibits to the Annual Report, Delphi’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009 and the Original Forms 8-K.
Although Delphi is currently in compliance with the terms of the Accommodation Agreement (after
giving effect to the Thirty-Third Amendment), Delphi’s continued compliance and access to
sufficient liquidity to fund its working capital requirements and operations is dependent on a
number of factors including Delphi remaining in compliance with the provisions of the GM Advance
Agreement and administrative creditors, including its suppliers, continuing to provide services and
goods on customary payment terms.
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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 liquidity support agreements with GM, its debtor-in-possession financing facility and the
related accommodation agreement, and to obtain an extension of term or other amendments as
necessary to maintain access to such liquidity support agreements and facility; the Company’s
ability to obtain Court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 cases prosecuted by it
from time to time, and to consummate the Modified Plan or any subsequently filed plan of
reorganization and to consummate such plan or other consensual resolution of Delphi’s Chapter 11
cases; 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 Company’s ability to maintain contracts that are critical to its operations; the
potential adverse impact of the Chapter 11 cases on the Company’s liquidity or results of
operations; the ability of the Company to fund and execute its business plan as described in the
Modified Plan as filed with the Court 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
Annual Report, including the risk factors in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors contained therein and in
Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March
31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. 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 Company’s various prepetition liabilities, common stock
and/or other equity securities. Under the Modified Plan confirmed by the Court on July 30, 2009,
holders of Delphi’s common stock will receive no value.
