     This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Delphi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and is being filed on behalf of (i) Highland Capital Management L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Highland Capital”); (ii) Strand Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Strand”); (iii) James D. Dondero; (iv) Highland Credit Strategies Fund, a Delaware trust (“HCF”); (v) Highland Multi-Strategy Onshore Master SubFund, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“SubFund”); and (vi) Highland Multi-Strategy Master Fund, L.P., a Bermuda limited partnership (“MasterFund” and, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), to amend the Schedule 13D that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 22, 2006 (the “Original 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on January 5, 2007 (the “13D First Amendment”), as amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on January 12, 2007 (the “13D Second Amendment” and collectively, the “Highland 13D”).
     Except as set forth below, all previous Items are unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D previously filed with the Commission.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
     Item 3 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     The Reporting Persons have acquired an aggregate of 43,941,415 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), which are reported herein, in open market transactions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $91,141,371.61 using a combination of funds from accounts managed by Highland Capital and Mr. Dondero’s personal funds to purchase the shares owned in his individual capacity.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     Item 4 is supplemented as follows:
     On April 18, 2007, Highland Capital delivered a letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 5 (the “Letter to the Board”) and incorporated by reference herein. Highland Capital indicated that it believes that it would be in the best interests of the Issuer and its various creditors, stockholders and other parties in interest to pursue a transaction similar to the Highland Proposal, as detailed in the Highland 13D, which would be predicated upon a broad-based rights offering but with additional sponsors and based on current economics and other factors. Highland Capital requested a meeting with the Board of Directors of the Issuer, management or any representatives thereof to discuss this alternative transaction.
     On April 18, 2007, Highland Capital received a letter from David M. Sherbin, the Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer of the Issuer (the “Sherbin Letter”), in response to the Letter to the Board. Mr. Sherbin acknowledged the Issuer’s receipt of the Letter to the Board and Highland’s willingness to meet to discuss a potential transaction with the Issuer, but stated that the Issuer was unwilling to renew the discussions with Highland Capital for a number of reasons.
          In response to the Sherbin Letter and the issues raised therein, on April 19, 2007, Highland Capital delivered a letter to Mr. Sherbin, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 6 (the “Sherbin Response Letter”) and incorporated by reference herein. Highland Capital reiterated its willingness to renew discussions and meet with the Issuer. In the interim, Highland Capital may have on-going discussions with other stakeholders in the Issuer, as well as outside third parties, including financial institutions.

 


 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     Item 5 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     (a) As of April 20, 2007, (i) Highland Capital may be deemed to beneficially own 38,646,915 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 6.88%1,2 of the outstanding Common Stock; (ii) Strand may be deemed to beneficially own 38,646,915 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 6.88%1,2 of the outstanding Common Stock; (iii) James D. Dondero may be deemed to beneficially own 43,941,4151 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 7.82%1 of the outstanding Common Stock; (iv) HCF may be deemed to beneficially own 2,338,938 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 0.42%1 of the outstanding Common Stock; (v) SubFund may be deemed to beneficially own 1,037,004 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 0.18%1 of the outstanding Common Stock; and (vi) MasterFund may be deemed to beneficially own 1,037,004 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 0.18%1 of the outstanding Common Stock.
