Delphi Reaches Agreements In Principle With Statutory Committees

Form of Amended GM and Plan Investor Agreements Also Filed With Bankruptcy Court. Delphi to Proceed with Dec. 6 Investment Agreement Amendment Hearing And Continuation of Disclosure Statement Approval Hearing

December 4, 2007 -- TROY, MICH. -- Delphi Corp. (PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ) announced that it has reached agreements in principle with its Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, its Official Committee of Equity Security Holders, General Motors Corp. and its Plan Investors on amendments to its Joint Plan of Reorganization, Global Settlement Agreement and Master Restructuring Agreement between Delphi and GM, and the Investment Agreement with Delphi's Plan Investors led by an affiliate of Appaloosa Management L.P.

Delphi filed potential amendments to all four documents on Monday evening in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York as revisions to the Company's Disclosure Statement and appendices to the Company's Disclosure Statement. Delphi expects to make further amended filings prior to the resumption on Dec. 6, 2007 of the Disclosure Statement hearing commenced in Oct. 2007. These filings will include further changes required to reflect the agreements in principle with Delphi's key stakeholders and executed signature pages with respect to the Company's agreements with GM and the Plan Investors. These agreements currently remain subject to proposed amendments announced on Nov. 14, which are also subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

These potential amendments primarily reflect changes required by Delphi's Statutory Committees to obtain their support of Delphi's Plan and related Disclosure Statement. In the event these amendments do not become effective, the original underlying agreements as approved by the Bankruptcy Court on Aug. 2 remain in effect. The company continues to pursue emergence from Chapter 11 during the first quarter of 2008.

The potential amendments to the Disclosure Statement and certain Appendices (which include amendments to the POR, the GM Global Settlement Agreement, the GM Master Restructuring Agreement and the Investment Agreement) will be available later today on www.delphidocket.com.
