CUSIP No. 247126105 Schedule 13D Page 7 of 16
--------------------- -----------------
This Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to the statement on Schedule 13D
initially filed on December 28, 2006 (the "Initial Schedule 13D") by Merrill
Lynch & Co., Inc. ("ML&Co."), Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated ("MLPF&S"), Merrill Lynch Financial Markets, Inc. ("MLFM"),
Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB ("MLTFSB") and Merrill Lynch International
("MLI") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), relates to shares of Common
Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares") of Delphi Corporation (the
"Issuer"), and is being filed to amend the Initial 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. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTIONS.
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 or in other ordinary
course activities. As described below, MLPF&S has acted as a financial advisor
and investor in connection with a proposal for an investment in the Issuer.
On July 31, 2006, Appaloosa Management L.P. ("Appaloosa") and the Issuer
entered into a Confidential Information, Standstill and Nondisclosure Agreement
(the "Confidentiality Agreement"). The Confidentiality Agreement is attached as
Exhibit 3 to the Schedule 13D/A filed by Appaloosa 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 agreed 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 agreed 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 withdrew a letter it had written to the Issuer's board of directors
on March 15, 2006 regarding the Issuer's chapter 11 reorganization (the
"Bankruptcy Proceedings") and agreed not to take certain other actions, as more
fully described in the Confidentiality Agreement.
On August 25, 2006, Appaloosa and the Issuer entered into an amendment to the
Confidentiality Agreement (the "Amendment"). The Amendment is attached as
Exhibit 6 to the Schedule 13D/A filed by Appaloosa on August 29, 2006. Pursuant
to the Amendment, in connection with certain confidential information produced
and designated as "confidential" or "highly confidential" by the Debtors (as
defined in the Amendment) 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 MLPF&S 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, UBS and ML&Co. have been 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 are attached as Exhibits 4 and 5, respectively, to the Schedule 13D/A
filed by Appaloosa on August 1, 2006.

CUSIP No. 247126105 Schedule 13D Page 8 of 16
--------------------- -----------------
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")), MLPF&S 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, MLPF&S and UBS are referred to herein as the
"Investors." A copy of the Proposal is attached as Exhibit 99.E of Form 8-K
filed by Delphi Corporation on December 18, 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 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 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.
--------------------- -----------------
CUSIP No. 247126105 Schedule 13D Page 9 of 17
--------------------- -----------------
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 as
Exhibit 99.A of the Form 8-K filed by Delphi Corporation on December 18, 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 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 January 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 Reporting Persons do not have any right to appoint
any members of the 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. The Reporting Persons will not beneficially own any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
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 Investor under the Investment
Agreement and the circumstances that would constitute a "change of
recommendation" by the Issuer. A copy of the modified Investment Agreement has
been filed as Exhibit 13 to the Schedule 13D/A filed by Appaloosa on January
18, 2007.
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 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
--------------------- -----------------
CUSIP No. 247126105 Schedule 13D Page 10 of 16
--------------------- -----------------
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 have been filed as
Exhibits 14 and 15 to the Schedule 13D/A filed by Appaloosa on January 18,
2007.
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 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.
