     In connection with the previously disclosed discussions between Delphi Corporation (the “Company”) and its major labor unions and General Motors Corporation regarding a comprehensive restructuring plan, including transformation of its United States (“U.S.”) labor cost structure to improve the competitiveness of the Company’s U.S. operations, the Company has stated that absent agreement with all parties on such a comprehensive restructuring plan, the Company will file no later than March 31, 2006 a motion under Sections 1113 and 1114 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to initiate the process of seeking court authorization to reject its collective bargaining agreements and terminate its hourly post-retirement health care plans and life insurance. Although these discussions are continuing, the outcome is uncertain and may have a significant impact on the Company’s December 31, 2005 financial statements, including the assumptions used in estimating the amount of previously announced impairment charges recorded by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2005. Accordingly, the Company is unable to complete its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 until the outcome of the current discussions is better understood.
