This Amendment No. 4 (this "Amendment") to the Schedule 13D (the "Initial
Schedule 13D") initially filed on March 16, 2006 by the Reporting Persons (as
defined in the Initial Schedule 13D), as amended on August 1, 2006, August 29,
2006 and December 19, 2006, relates to the common stock, $0.01 par value per
share (the "Common Stock"), of Delphi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer"), and is being filed to amend the Reporting Persons' previously-filed
Schedule 13D as specifically set forth below.
Certain information contained in this Schedule 13D/A relates to share
ownership of persons other than the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons
expressly disclaim any liability for any such information and for any other
information provided in this Amendment that does not expressly pertain to a
Reporting Person, as such term is defined in Item 2 of the Initial Schedule 13D.
The information set forth in the Exhibits to this Amendment is hereby
expressly incorporated herein by reference, and the responses to each item of
this Amendment are qualified in their entirety by the provisions of such
Exhibits. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Schedule 13D, and unless otherwise
amended hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect.
ITEM 4 IS AMENDED AND RESTATED AS FOLLOWS:
The acquisition of the shares of Common Stock that are currently
beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was for investment purposes. On
March 15, 2006, in its capacity as a stockholder, Appaloosa Management L.P.
("Appaloosa") sent a letter (the "March 15th Letter") to the Issuer's board of
directors expressing concerns over the current management of the Issuer in
connection with the commencement and prosecution of the Issuer's case (the
"Bankruptcy Proceedings") under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.
Sections 101-1330 as amended and in effect on October 8, 2005 (the "Bankruptcy
Code"). As described below, Appaloosa has withdrawn this letter.
On July 31, 2006, Appaloosa and the Issuer entered into a Confidential
Information, Standstill and Nondisclosure Agreement (the "Confidentiality
Agreement"). The Confidentiality Agreement was attached as Exhibit 3 to the
Schedule 13D/A filed on August 1, 2006. Pursuant to the terms of the
Confidentiality Agreement, the Issuer may furnish to Appaloosa certain
non-public, confidential and/or proprietary information pertaining to the Issuer
which is reasonably necessary in order for Appaloosa to evaluate a possible
negotiated business arrangement involving the Issuer in its reorganization case
under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Subject to customary exceptions,
Appaloosa agrees to keep the Evaluation Material (as defined in the
Confidentiality Agreement) strictly confidential. Prior to the Release Date (as
defined in the Confidentiality Agreement), unless otherwise agreed to by the
Issuer in writing, Appaloosa agrees to engage in discussions and negotiate
exclusively with the Issuer and its legal and financial advisors with respect to
a possible negotiated business arrangement involving the Issuer. In addition, in
accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, Appaloosa has withdrawn the March
15th Letter and agreed not to take certain other actions, as more fully
described in the Confidentiality Agreement.
Page 7 of 16
On August 25, 2006, Appaloosa and the Issuer entered into an amendment to
the Confidentiality Agreement (the "Amendment"). The Confidentiality Agreement
was attached as Exhibit 6 to the Schedule 13D/A filed on August 28, 2006.
Pursuant to the Amendment, in connection with certain confidential information
produced and designated as "confidential" or "highly confidential" by the
Debtors under various stipulations and protective orders entered into in the
Issuer's reorganization case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, that has
been furnished and may continue to be furnished to certain representatives of
Appaloosa (the "Litigation Material"), Appaloosa may use the Litigation Material
for a Permitted Purpose (as defined in the Amendment), and the Litigation
Material so used will be deemed Evaluation Material (as defined in the
Confidentiality Agreement).
On July 31, 2006, Appaloosa engaged UBS Securities LLC ("UBS") as lead
financial adviser and lead capital markets provider and engaged Merrill Lynch &
Co. ("Merrill Lynch") as an additional financial adviser, in each case in
connection with any potential restructuring, acquisition or other transaction
involving the Issuer. Pursuant to the engagement letters, the financial advisers
are to be given an opportunity to participate in any debt or equity financing
transaction involving the Issuer that is sponsored by Appaloosa and not financed
by Appaloosa. The engagement letters were attached as Exhibits 4 and 5,
respectively, to the Schedule 13D/A filed on August 1, 2006.
Proposal Letter
On December 18, 2006, A-D Acquisition Holdings, LLC ("ADAH") (an affiliate
of 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 Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I,
Ltd. ("Harbinger")), Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
("Merrill") and 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 was attached as Exhibit 7 to the Schedule 13D/A filed on
December 19, 2006.
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
Page 8 of 16
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 was attached as
Exhibit 8 to the Schedule 13D/A filed on December 19, 2006. 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
Page 9 of 16
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.
Subsequent to December 18, 2006 and in connection with the Bankruptcy
Proceedings, the Investors and the Issuer agreed to certain modifications to the
Investment Agreement, including, but not limited to, modifications to the
termination rights of the Issuer and the Investors under the Investment
Agreement and the circumstances that would constitute a "change of
recommendation" by the Issuer. A copy of the modified Investment Agreement is
attached hereto as Exhibit 13.
Furthermore, subsequent to December 18, 2006 and in connection with the
Bankruptcy Proceedings, the parties to the Investment Agreement agreed to enter
into a Supplement to the Investment Agreement (the "IA Supplement") pursuant to
which for so long as the official committee of unsecured creditors of the Issuer
in the Bankruptcy Proceedings (the "Creditors' Committee") supports the
implementation of the Investment Agreement and the Plan Framework Support
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the parties to the
Investment Agreement would agree to certain amendments to the Investment
Agreement. In addition, the
Page 10 of 16
parties to the Plan Framework Support Agreement agreed to an Amendment and
Supplement to the Plan Framework Support Agreement (the "PFSA Amendment and
Supplement" and, the PFSA Amendment and Supplement together with the IA
Supplement, the "Supplements") pursuant to which (i) the parties to the Plan
Framework Support Agreement agreed to certain amendments to the Plan Framework
Support Agreement and (ii) for so long as the Creditors' Committee supports the
implementation of the Investment Agreement and the Plan Framework Support
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the parties to the Plan
Framework Support Agreement would agree to certain additional modifications to
the Plan Framework Support Agreement.
The IA Supplement involves, among other things, (i) specified procedures
for ADAH and Dolce to propose an alternative exit financing and a related
termination right for the Issuer and (ii) modification of the Preferred Term
Sheet to clarify that on a change of control of the Issuer, the fair market
value of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not reflect the value of the
governance rights attributable to the Series A Preferred Stock. The PFSA
Amendment and Supplement involves, among other things, the following amendments
to the Plan Framework Support Agreement, that are independent of continued
Creditors' Committee support: (i) a prohibition on the ability of the Issuer and
the Investors to terminate the Plan Framework Support Agreement after a
disclosure statement is approved and (ii) certain provisions related to interest
on trade and other unsecured claims. The PFSA Amendment and Supplement also
involves, among other things, certain modifications to the Plan Framework
Support Agreement that are contingent on continued Creditors' Committee support
that relate to the ability of the Creditors' Committee to review and consult
with respect to certain documents that will be included as part of the
implementation of a plan of reorganization of the Issuer and executive
compensation arrangements. Copies of the Supplements are attached hereto as
Exhibits 14 and 15.
On January 11 and January 12, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court held a hearing on
Delphi's motion for, among other things, the approval of the Investment
Agreement, the Plan Framework Support Agreement and the Supplements. On January
12, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court approved such motion and on January 18, 2007, the
modified Investment Agreement and the Supplements were executed by the parties
thereto.
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
Page 11 of 16
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 Amendment 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 6 is amended and restated as follows:
On July 31, 2006, Appaloosa and the Issuer entered into a Confidential
Information, Standstill and Nondisclosure Agreement. Harbinger is also a party
to the Confidentiality Agreement.
On July 31, 2006, Appaloosa engaged UBS as lead financial adviser and lead
capital markets provider and engaged Merrill Lynch as an additional financial
adviser, in each case in connection with any potential restructuring,
acquisition or other transaction involving the Issuer. Pursuant to the
engagement letters, the financial advisers are to be given an opportunity to
participate in any debt or equity financing transaction involving the Issuer
that is sponsored by Appaloosa and not financed by Appaloosa. Harbinger is also
a party to these engagement letters.
On August 25, 2006, Appaloosa and the Issuer entered into an amendment to
the Confidential Information, Standstill and Nondisclosure Agreement. Harbinger

and be entitled to participate in distributions on account of, and proceeds in
respect of, the Series A-2 Preferred Stock.
In addition, concurrent with the delivery of the Proposal, (1) Appaloosa
