EXPLANATORY NOTE
Delphi Corporation (Delphi or the Company) is filing this Form 8-K/A as Amendment No. 1 to its
Current Report on Form 8-K (the Form 8-K) that was filed with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission on December 11, 2007 solely for the purpose of correcting a typographical error
in Exhibit 99(a). The Form 8-K incorporating Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
and the corrected Exhibit 99(a) is set forth below.

|
ITEM 1.01 |
|
ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT |
On December 10, 2007, Appaloosa Management L.P., (Appaloosa) Harbinger Capital Partners Master
Fund I, Ltd., Pardus Capital Management, L.P. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith,
Incorporated, UBS Securities LLC, and Goldman Sachs & Co. (or certain of their affiliates)
(collectively the Investors), entered into an amendment (the EPCA Amendment) with Delphi
to the Equity Purchase Commitment Agreement dated as of
August 3, 2007 (the EPCA) which was described in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended June 30, 2007 filed on August 8, 2007 and which was attached as Exhibit 10(d) to such Form
10-Q.
The EPCA Amendment revises a number of provisions in the EPCA to reflect events and developments
since August 3, 2007 including those relating to United States (U.S.) Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York (the Court) approvals in connection with the EPCA Amendment;
delivery of a revised disclosure letter by the Company; delivery of a revised business plan by the
Company; updates and revisions to representations and warranties; agreements with principal labor
unions; and the execution and amendment of certain settlement agreements with General Motors
Corporation (GM); the execution of a best efforts financing letter and the filing of a plan of
reorganization and disclosure statement. Further, the EPCA Amendment amends provisions relating to
the discount rights offering (including the replacement of existing common stockholders with
unsecured creditors). Finally, the EPCA Amendment revises the EPCA to reflect certain economic
changes for recoveries provided under the plan of reorganization, and a post-emergence capital
structure which includes Series C Preferred Stock to be issued to GM.
The EPCA Amendment removes or narrows the scope of certain conditions to closing in the EPCA
including: the no-strike conditions, to include only strikes that occur after October 29, 2007; the
capitalization condition to reduce the net debt required for the Company on the closing date; and
to exclude from the condition relating to the approval of material investment documents, numerous
documents which have already been delivered by the Company to the Investors such as the plan of
reorganization , the disclosure statement, the settlement agreements with GM and the business plan.
However, certain conditions to closing are added by the EPCA Amendment, such as those requiring:
release and exculpation of each Investor as set forth in the EPCA Amendment; that the Company will
have undrawn availability of $1.4 billion including a letter of credit carve out and reductions
under a borrowing base formula; that the Company shall have demonstrated and certified, to the
reasonable satisfaction of an affiliate of Appaloosa, that its pro forma interest expense during
2008 on the Companys indebtedness will not exceed $585 million; that scheduled Pension Benefit
Guarantee Corporation liens are withdrawn; and that the aggregate amount of trade and unsecured
claims be no more than $1.45 billion (subject to certain waivers and exclusions).
The foregoing description of the EPCA Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the EPCA Amendment, which is being filed as Exhibit 99(a) to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
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 terms of any
reorganization plan ultimately confirmed; the Companys ability to obtain Court approval with
respect to motions in the chapter 11 cases prosecuted by it from time to time; the ability of the
Company to prosecute, confirm and consummate one or more plans of reorganization with respect to
the chapter 11 cases; the Companys ability to satisfy the terms and conditions of the EPCA; 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, 2006 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the SEC)) 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, 2006, including the risk factors in Part I. Item 1A.
Risk Factors, contained therein and the Companys quarterly periodic reports for the subsequent
periods, including the risk factors in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors, contained therein, filed
with the SEC. 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. Additionally, no assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in
the bankruptcy cases to each of these constituencies. A plan of reorganizati
on could result in
holders of Delphis common stock receiving no distribution on account of their interest and
cancellation of their interests. In addition, under certain conditions specified in the Bankruptcy
Code, a plan of reorganization may be confirmed notwithstanding its rejection by an impaired class
of creditors or equity holders and notwithstanding the fact that equity holders do not receive or
retain property on account of their equity interests under the plan. In light of the foregoing,
the Company considers the value of the common stock to be highly speculative and cautions equity
holders that the stock may ultimately be determined to have little or no value. Accordingly, the
Company urges that appropriate caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments
in Delphis common stock or other equity interests or any claims relating to prepetition
liabilities.
