Acquisition of Delphi Completed
Product Portfolio Focused on Innovation for Customer Challenges
Commitment to Technology and Strong Portfolio Among Top Priorities

Delphi Holdings LLP announced today it had
completed the acquisition of substantially all of Delphi
Corporation's global core businesses as part of the consummation of the
Delphi Corporation Modified Plan of Reorganization.
Rodney O'Neal will remain President and CEO and the current leadership will
continue to manage the company's global operations.
"We are grateful for the support and loyalty of our customers, who have
placed their trust in Delphi's ability to provide world-class products and
uninterrupted supply, and the support of our suppliers who have contributed
broadly to our efforts," O'Neal said. "We are also thankful for the
dedicated Delphi employees who remained focused on our customers, and the
communities in which we operate for their unwavering support during the
most challenging period in our history. Additionally, we are grateful for
and recognize the sacrifice made by many constituent groups throughout our
restructuring."
Delphi's balance sheet will be sufficiently capitalized to invest in
technology, and to absorb planned restructuring and resultant social costs
as the company consolidates excess capacity around the world, O'Neal said.
"We expect 2010 gross engineering and R&D spending to be about 11 percent
of sales, allowing us to maintain our intense focus on technologies,
products and services that help our customers deliver vehicles that are
safer, greener and allow purchasers to remain connected to their busy
lives."
The company's product portfolio remains centered on electronics and safety;
powertrain; thermal; electrical and electronic systems; OE service; and the
independent aftermarket.
"We are clearly focused on game-changing technologies that meet market
demands and help address societal concerns in an intense global
environment. We expect that the industry and the competitive environment
will continue to be demanding, but the restructuring we have already
completed creates a strong platform and we expect to capitalize on that,"
O'Neal said. "We are excited about the potential for our future and for
assuring that Delphi remains among the premier supply companies in the
world. We are a more agile, nimble and resilient company and are eager to
begin the next part of our journey with our customers, employees and
suppliers."
Completion of the transaction in Russia and South Africa is subject to
pending regulatory approvals.
The acquisition was led by Elliott Management and Silver Point Capital in
their capacity as senior creditors of Delphi. Representatives from Elliott
and Silver Point jointly stated that, "As major investors in the new
Delphi, we believe this transaction will provide a solid financial
foundation for the company's growth and success as a world leader in the
global automotive industry. We are extremely pleased to have played a
significant role in the creation of the new Delphi."
