Purpose of Transaction. The Master Fund is a member of an Ad Hoc Equity Committee of Delphi Corporation (the "Ad Hoc Committee"). In such capacity, on July 31, 2006, the Master Fund was party to a Confidential Information, Standstill and Nondisclosure Agreement (the "Confidentiality Agreement"). The Confidentiality Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Also on July 31, 2006, the Reporting Persons were party to engagement letters entered into with UBS and Merrill Lynch to serve as lead financial adviser and lead capital markets provider, and additional financial adviser, respectively, in connection with any potential restructuring, acquisition or other transaction involving the Issuer. The engagement letters are attached hereto as Exhibit C and D. On August 25, 2006, the Reporting Persons were party to an amendment to the Confidentiality Agreement (the "Amendment"). The Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit E. On December 18, 2006, A-D Acquisition Holdings, LLC ("ADAH") (an affiliate of Appaloosa Management LP ("Appaloosa")), Dolce Investments, LLC ("Dolce") (an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management L.P. ("Cerberus")), Harbinger Del-Auto Investment Company, Ltd. ("Del-Auto") (an affiliate of the Master Fund), Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill") and UBS Securities LLC ("UBS") delivered to the Issuer a proposal, which the Issuer accepted, for a potential investment of up to $3.4 billion in the aggregate in preferred and common equity of the reorganized Issuer and a proposed reorganization framework for the Issuer (the "Proposal"). Each of ADAH, Dolce, Del-Auto, Merrill and UBS are referred to herein as the "Investors." A copy of the Proposal is attached hereto as Exhibit F. According to the Proposal, the Investors would enter into an Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement (the "Investment Agreement") providing for the potential equity investment. The Proposal will terminate if, on or before January 22, 2007, (x) the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") does not issue an order reasonably satisfactory to the Investors approving and authorizing the Issuer to enter into the Investment Agreement and certain other matters, (y) the Issuer has not entered into the Investment Agreement or (z) any of the Investors determines in its sole discretion that any of the conditions contained in the Investment Agreement are incapable of being satisfied or that any of the Investors is entitled to exercise a termination right under the Investment Agreement. Equity Investment ----------------- Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Investment Agreement, the Investors would purchase an aggregate of $1.2 billion of convertible preferred stock and approximately $200 million of common stock in the reorganized Issuer as follows: (i) each Investor would purchase (A) for $35.00 per share, each Investor's proportionate share of 6,300,000 shares of the reorganized Issuer's new common stock (the "Direct Subscription Shares") and (B) for $35.00 per share, each Investor's proportionate share of the reorganized Issuer's new Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"); (ii) Dolce would purchase for $35.00 per share, 8,571,429 shares of the reorganized Issuer's new Series A-1 Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A-1 Preferred Stock"); and (iii) ADAH would purchase for $35.00 per share, 8,571,429 shares of the reorganized Issuer's new Series A-2 Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A-2 Preferred Stock", and together with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the "Series A Preferred Stock"). The number of Direct Subscription Shares and Series B Preferred Stock to be purchased by each Investor is set forth on Schedule 2 to the Investment Agreement. Additionally, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Investment Agreement, the Investors would purchase any unsubscribed shares of the reorganized Issuer's new common stock in connection with an approximately $2.0 billion rights offering that would be made available to holders of Common Stock as of a record date to be determined by the Issuer. In accordance with the Investment Agreement, the Issuer would distribute certain rights to holders of Common Stock to acquire new common stock of the reorganized Issuer subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, approval of the Bankruptcy Court and satisfaction of other terms and conditions. The rights, which would be transferable by the original eligible holders, would permit holders to purchase their pro rata share of new common stock of the reorganized Issuer at $35.00 per share. Altogether, the Investors could invest up to an aggregate of $3.4 billion in the reorganized Issuer. The Investment Agreement is subject to the completion of due diligence to the satisfaction of the Investors in their sole discretion, satisfaction or waiver of numerous other conditions (including the Issuer's achievement of consensual agreements with its U.S. labor unions and General Motors Corporation ("GM") that are acceptable to the Investors in their sole discretion) and the non-exercise by either the Issuer or the Investors of certain termination rights, all of which are more fully described in the Investment Agreement. The Investors would be entitled to payment of certain commitment fees and an alternate transaction fee at the times and under the circumstances set forth in the Investment Agreement. Plan of Reorganization Framework -------------------------------- The Investors, the Issuer and GM also executed on December 18, 2006, a Plan Framework Support Agreement (the "Plan Framework Support Agreement") which contains terms pursuant to which the parties agree to support confirmation and consummation of a plan of reorganization for the Issuer which will be based on the terms contained in the Plan Framework Support Agreement (the "Plan Framework"). A copy of the Plan Framework Support Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit G. The Plan Framework provides for, among other things, the distributions to be made to creditors and stockholders, the treatment of GM's claims against the Issuer, the resolution of certain pension funding issues and the corporate governance of the reorganized Issuer. The Plan Framework Support Agreement as well as the economics and structure of the Plan Framework itself are conditioned on reaching consensual agreements with the Issuer's U.S. labor unions and GM. Both the Issuer and the Investors are permitted to terminate the Investment Agreement (which terminates the Plan Framework Support Agreement) if consensual agreements are not reached with the Issuer's U.S. labor unions and GM by Jan. 31, 2007. Corporate Governance Structure ------------------------------ The Investment Agreement and the Plan Framework Support Agreement also include certain corporate governance provisions for the reorganized Issuer. Under the terms of the proposed plan, the reorganized Issuer would be governed by a 12 member board of directors, two of whom would be a new Executive Chairman and a new Chief Executive Officer and President. Pursuant to the term sheet for preferred stock attached as an Exhibit to the Investment Agreement (the "Preferred Term Sheet") and Plan Framework Support Agreement, Rodney O'Neal would be the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Issuer. A five member selection committee, consisting of John D. Opie, the lead independent director of the Issuer's current board of directors, a representative of each of the Issuer's two statutory committees and a representative of each of Appaloosa and Cerberus will select the company's post-emergence Executive Chairman as well as four other directors (one of whom may be from the Issuer's current board of directors). Appaloosa and Cerberus must both concur in the selection of the Executive Chairman, but do not vote on the four other directors. Each of Appaloosa and Cerberus would appoint three board members comprising the remaining six members of the reorganized Issuer's new board of directors. The new board of directors would be required to satisfy all independence requirements imposed by the relevant stock exchange on which the reorganized Issuer's common stock would be traded. Executive compensation for the reorganized Issuer must be on market terms, must be reasonably acceptable to ADAH and Dolce, and the overall executive compensation plan design must be described in the Issuer's disclosure statement and incorporated into the plan of reorganization. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have certain approval rights with respect to certain significant corporate transactions such as incurring debt, transferring assets and engaging in mergers or acquisitions, as more fully described in the Preferred Term Sheet. Except as described in this Item 4 or otherwise described in this Statement, the Reporting Persons currently have no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any transaction, event or action enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Subject to the terms of the Investment Agreement and the Plan Framework Support Agreement, each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right, in light of its or his ongoing evaluation of the Issuer's financial condition, business, operations and prospects, the market price of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets generally, general economic and industry conditions, its or his business objectives and other relevant factors, to change its or his plans and intentions at any time, as it or he deems appropriate. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing (but subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement), any one or more of the Reporting Persons (and their respective affiliates) reserves the right, in each case subject to any applicable limitations imposed on the sale of any of their Common Stock by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other applicable law, to (i) purchase additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, (ii) sell or transfer shares of Common Stock or other securities beneficially owned by them from time to time in public or private transactions and (iii) cause any of the Reporting Persons to distribute in kind to their respective stockholders, partners or members, as the case may be, shares of Common Stock or other securities owned by such Reporting Persons. This Schedule 13D is not a solicitation for votes on the Issuer's plan of reorganization. No disclosure statement has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court for the Issuer's plan of reorganization. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Item 5.
