TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On February 3, 2006, the United States Trustee convened a meeting of creditors of Delphi
Corporation (Delphi or the Company) pursuant to section 341 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code (the Bankruptcy Code). A section 341 meeting is a statutorily mandated meeting of
creditors, presided over by the United States Trustee, at which a debtors representatives appear.
All creditors of the debtor are entitled to attend a section 341 meeting. A copy of the slides
that were presented by the Company at its section 341 meeting (the Slides) is available free of
charge via the internet at www.delphidocket.com.
In addition, on February 1, 2006, Delphi and certain of its subsidiaries which have filed voluntary
petitions for chapter 11 reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the Debtors)
filed certain amendments to its Schedules of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Financial
Affairs (the Schedules and Statements) that were referenced in Delphis Form 8-K dated January
20, 2006. The amendments reflect a decrease of the Debtors total liabilities on an unconsolidated
basis of approximately $1.2 billion related to certain intercompany accounts maintained within the
equity section of the Debtors books and records. The total assets and liabilities included in the
Schedules and Statements include intercompany obligations and accounts between Debtors or between
Debtors and related non-Debtors. Because intercompany obligations and
accounts between Debtors or between Debtors and related non-Debtors
are eliminated in Delphi's consolidation, these amendments have no
impact or effect on Delphi's consolidated financial position. Accordingly, the Schedules and Statements, as amended, disclose Debtors total assets (on an
aggregate but unconsolidated basis) of approximately $16.4 billion and total liabilities (on an
aggregate but unconsolidated basis) of approximately $24.8 billion as of the dates specified
therein.
The Schedules and Statements now classify certain of the Debtors intercompany accounts as
unliquidated. The Schedules and Statements and amendments may be accessed free of charge via the
internet at www.delphidocket.com.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the information included in the Slides, as well as other statements made by Delphi, may
contain forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, 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. 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 (DIP)
facility; the Companys ability to obtain court approval with respect to motions in the chapter 11
proceeding prosecuted by it from time to time; the ability of the Company to develop, prosecute,
confirm and consummate one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the 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
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; the ability of the Company to attract, motivate
and/or retain key executives and associates; and the ability of the Company to attract and retain
customers. Other risk factors are listed from time to time in the Companys United States
Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including, but not limited to the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2005 and current reports on Form 8-K. 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 pre-petition 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 proceedings to each of these constituencies. A plan of
reorganization could result in holders of Delphis common stock receiving no distribution on
account of their interest and cancellation of their interests. As described in the Companys public
statements in response to the request submitted to the United States Trustee for the appointment of
a statutory equity committee, holders of Delphis common stock and other equity interests (such as
options) should assume that they will not receive value as part of a plan of reorganization. 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 and as stated in its October 8, 2005
press release announcing the filing of its chapter 11 reorganization cases, 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 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.
