EMERGENCE FUNDING

To facilitate its emergence from Chapter 11, Delphi anticipates raising
approximately $3.75 billion of funded emergence capital through a
combination of term debt and rights to purchase equity in Reorganized
Delphi, comprised of at least $2.75 billion in funded first and second lien
debt, plus up to $1.2 billion of unfunded debt through an asset-backed
revolving credit facility. Delphi anticipates raising the remaining $1.0
billion funded emergence capital through a rights offering and direct
subscription for new common stock in Reorganized Delphi. Delphi expects
the principal sources of its emergence capital to be its existing creditors
and stakeholders and anticipates supplementing its emergence capital
funding disclosures at or prior to the Preliminary Modification Hearing.
Delphi anticipates emerging from Chapter 11 as soon as reasonably
practicable.

To achieve the recoveries contemplated in its Modified Plan, Delphi will be

required to achieve its target of $3.75 billion in funded emergence capital
and the discount rights offering will be backstopped or subscribed at a
discount not to exceed 40% of Plan Equity Value. In the event that these
targets are not achieved, Delphi would be required to procure GM's consent
pursuant to the Company's agreements with GM regarding any modified
recovery, and the minimum recovery to holders of unsubordinated General
Unsecured Claims would be proportionally reduced.

The Preliminary Modification Hearing is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Oct.
23, 2008 and the Final Modification Hearing is scheduled to commence on
Dec. 17, 2008.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release as well as other statements made by Delphi may contain
forward-looking statements that reflect, when made, the Company's 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 Company's 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. In some cases, you can identify these
statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "might," "will,"
"should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates,"
"predicts," "potential" or "continue," the negative of these terms and
other comparable terminology. 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 financing facility and its advance agreement
with GM, to obtain an extension of term or other amendments as necessary to
maintain access to such facility and advance agreement; the Company's
ability to obtain Court approval with respect to motions in the chapter 11
cases prosecuted by it from time to time; the ability of the Company to
achieve all of the conditions to the effectiveness of those portions of the
Amended and Restated Global Settlement Agreement and Amended and Restated
Master Restructuring Agreement with General Motors which are contingent on
Delphi's emergence from chapter 11; the ability of the Company to obtain
court approval to modify its amended plan of reorganization which was
confirmed by the Court on January 25, 2008 as set forth in its filing on
October 3, 2008 and to confirm such modified plan or any subsequent
modifications to the confirmed plan or any other subsequently confirmed
plan of reorganization and to consummate such plan; 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 Company's
ability to maintain contracts that are critical to its operations; the
potential adverse impact of the chapter 11 cases on the Company's liquidity
or results of operations; the ability of the Company to fund and execute
its business plan as described in the proposed modifications to its plan of
reorganization as filed with the court and to do so in a timely manner; the
ability of the Company to attract, motivate and/or retain key executives
and associates; the ability of the Company to avoid or continue to operate
during a strike, or partial work stoppage or slow down by any of its
unionized employees or those of its principal customers and the ability of
the Company to attract and retain customers. Additional factors that could
affect future results are identified in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC, including the risk
factors in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors, contained therein, and the
Company's quarterly periodic reports for the subsequent periods, including
the risk factors in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors, contained therein,
filed with the SEC. 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 Company's various prepetition
liabilities, common stock and/or other equity securities.
