sprung nach oben$$

Delisting könnte kommen d.h die Aktien werden wertlos.

Sicher kann es auch mehrere 100% geben. Aber die letzten
Infos sprechen eher dafür dass die Aktien wertlos werden.

Das ist wohl auch die einzigste Chance aus Chapter11 zu
kommen für Delphi.

Allen Investierten viel Erfolg aber man sollte sich dem
Risiko bewusst sein!

 

wo steht denn das die aktien wertlos werden. das ist doch noch nicht entschieden. ich glaube nicht das die altaktionäre leer ausgehen. ein aktientausch ist denkbar und auch wahrscheinlich.
bei weiteren positiven news sind wesentlich höhere kurse in kürze möglich.  

warum ging es am freitag runter sind fast 10 Prozent

glaubt IHR es wird am Montag weiter runter gehen

US-Autozulieferer Delphi erhält Segen für Insolvenzplan
Troy/New York. dpa/baz. Der grösste US-Autozulieferer Delphi ist auf seinem langen Weg aus dem Insolvenzverfahren einen wichtigen Schritt weiter. Ein Gericht in New York gab laut US-Medienberichten dem wegen der Kreditkrise mehrfach überarbeiteten Finanzplan des Unternehmens grünes Licht. Der Rettungsplan muss nun von den Gläubigern abgesegnet werden. Delphis Ziel sei es, bis Ende Februar das mittlerweile mehr als zwei Jahre laufende Insolvenzverfahren verlassen zu können, berichteten amerikanische Zeitungen am Samstag.

Vor einem erfolgreichen Neuanfang müsse Delphi noch Kredite in einer Höhe von 6,8 Milliarden Dollar refinanzieren. Zu den grössten Kreditgebern zählt der US-Autobauer General Motors, dessen einstige Zuliefersparte Delphi ist. Laut bisherigen Plänen will das Unternehmen spätestens 2009 schwarze Zahlen schreiben. Delphi beschäftigt heute rund 18'500 Mitarbeiter und halbierte während des Insolvenzverfahrens seine Belegschaft fast. Weitere Stellenstreichungen sind den Berichten zufolge geplant.

Delphi gets nod for its plan to exit bankruptcy
AP
Published: December 09, 2007, 00:23


New York: Delphi can begin soliciting votes for its plan to exit bankruptcy, the company's lawyer said on Friday, a major step toward letting the auto parts maker proceed with a restructuring that would shed thousands of jobs in plants across the country.

Delphi attorney Jack Butler said bankruptcy judge Robert Drain verbally approved the order on Friday and that if all changes the judge requested meet his requirements, he would enter an order on Monday.

Delphi's reorganisation plan includes shrinking its unionised work force to a fraction of its former size and shifting manufacturing overseas.

Job shedding


--------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------


Its proposal would ultimately eliminate 27,000 of 33,000 union jobs and would sell or close 20 factories across the nation and one in Mexico. Remaining and future workers are left with a two-tier wage structure, with new United Auto Workers members earning wages of $14 to $18.50 an hour, down from $27 (18.43 euros) per hour.

The company expects to begin sending voting material to about 500,000 creditors on December 15 and has scheduled a hearing to begin on January 17 to confirm its plan. Unsecured creditors - who would receive 100 per cent on their claims as stock and rights to purchase discounted shares - have until January 11 to decide.

Once it emerges from court protection, the company plans to employ 6,000 hourly workers at eight US plants, with another two factories running temporarily. It has pinned its future growth on higher revenue from operations in Europe, Asia and South America. Delphi's cost cutting while in bankruptcy has attracted some of the biggest names in private equity and hedge funds

ROUNDUP: US-Autozulieferer Delphi erhält Gerichtsgenehmigung für Insolvenzplan

Der Rettungsplan muss nun von den Gläubigern abgesegnet werden.

Delphis Ziel sei es, bis Ende Februar das mittlerweile mehr als zwei Jahre laufende Insolvenzverfahren verlassen zu können, berichteten amerikanische Zeitungen am Wochenende. Das Unternehmen mit Sitz in Troy (Michigan) könne die Unterlagen zur Abstimmung ab nächsten Freitag versenden. Dann laufe eine Frist bis 11. Januar.

Vor einem erfolgreichen Neuanfang müsse Delphi noch Kredite in einer Höhe von 6,8 Milliarden Dollar (4,6 Mrd Euro) refinanzieren. Darüber hatte es mit den größten Gläubigern immer wieder Streit gegeben. Die Finanzmarktkrise erschwerte die Gespräche massiv. Insgesamt habe Delphi rund eine halbe Million Gläubiger, hieß es.

Zu den größten Kreditgebern zählt der US-Autobauer General Motors, dessen einstige Zuliefersparte Delphi ist. Laut bisherigen Plänen will das Unternehmen spätestens 2009 schwarze Zahlen schreiben. Delphi beschäftigt heute rund 18 500 Mitarbeiter und halbierte während des Insolvenzverfahrens seine Belegschaft fast. Weitere Stellenstreichungen sind den Berichten zufolge geplant./fd/DP/fj

¥ € $ - Learn. Practice. Trade.NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bankrupt auto-parts maker Delphi Corp. (DPHIQ.PK: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Monday that it had signed a master sale and purchase agreement with Steering Solutions Corp., a unit of Platinum Equity LLC, for the sale of its global steering and halfshaft businesses.

Delphi also entered into a transaction facilitation agreement for its former parent, General Motors Corp (GM.N: Quote, Profile, Research), to make certain commitments to Delphi in connection with the sale.

Delphi filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan asking the court to approve the master purchase and sale agreement as well as the GM transaction, and requested a bidding procedures hearing on December 20.

Under U.S. bankruptcy rules, parties interested in buying the businesses would be allowed to submit a binding bid. If Delphi receives qualified bids it would hold an auction and award the steering and halfshaft business to the best bid.

Delphi expects a final sale hearing in February.

The final sale of Delphi's global steering and halfshaft businesses and the transaction facilitation agreement are subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Steering Solutions Corporation, a Wholly Owned Entity of Platinum Equity, LLC, Is Named Lead Bidder in the Sale of Delphi Corporation's Global Steering Division

TROY, MI--(Marketwire - December 10, 2007) - Delphi Corporation (PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ) has entered into a master sale and purchase agreement with Steering Solutions Corporation, a wholly owned entity of Platinum Equity, LLC, for the sale of its global steering and halfshaft businesses. In addition to the master sale and purchase agreement, Delphi has simultaneously entered into a transaction facilitation agreement pursuant to which GM is making certain commitments to Delphi in connection with the sale.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, Delphi filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking approval of the master purchase and sale agreement and the GM transaction facilitation agreement and requesting a bidding procedures hearing on Dec. 20, 2007. Following entry of an order approving bidding procedures, parties interested in purchasing Delphi's global steering and halfshaft business would have an opportunity to submit a binding bid.

Following the completion of the bidding procedures process, a final sale hearing is anticipated to occur in February 2008. The final sale of Delphi's global steering and halfshaft businesses and the transaction facilitation agreement are subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

As outlined in the court filing, the master sale and purchase agreement covers the sale of substantially all of Delphi's global steering and halfshaft businesses, including manufacturing operations, intellectual property, customer and supplier contracts, and interests in joint ventures as well as the transfer of the global employee team to the new company.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT

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 to obtain an extension of term or other amendments as necessary to maintain access to such facility; the terms of any reorganization plan ultimately confirmed; 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 prosecute, confirm and consummate one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the chapter 11 cases; the Company's ability to satisfy the terms and conditions of the EPCA; 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 (including the transformation plan described in its periodic filings with the SEC and its filings with the Bankruptcy 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 Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, 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. Additionally, no assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the bankruptcy cases to each of these constituencies. A plan of reorganization could result in holders of Delphi's common stock receiving no distribution on account of their interest and cancellation of their interests. In addition, under certain conditions specified in the Bankruptcy Code, a plan of reorganization may be confirmed notwithstanding its rejection by an impaired class of creditors or equity holders and notwithstanding the fact that equity holders do not receive or retain property on account of their equity interests under the plan. In light of the foregoing, the Company considers the value of the common stock to be highly speculative and cautions equity holders that the stock may ultimately be determined to have little or no value. Accordingly, the Company urges that appropriate caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in Delphi's common stock or other equity interests or any claims relating to prepetition liabilities.

Delphi Providing Active Safety Technologies for European Automaker on Several Models
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - January 7, 2008) - Delphi Corp. (PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ) announced at the 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show that it is supplying an innovative active safety system for the several new models for a prominent European automaker. Delphi is providing adaptive cruise control and collision mitigation with automatic braking technologies for these vehicles. Delphi is showcasing the system at its exhibit #5206 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, North Hall.

"Delphi has reached another milestone in the evolution of providing safety systems with the introduction of the new collision detection system," said Beth Schwarting, executive in charge of Delphi's Safety product business unit. "Delphi is helping to take vehicle safety to the next level with these cutting-edge systems."

The system uses unique data fusion algorithms that combine the inputs from radar and vision sensors to increase road safety with seamless driver support. The system provides Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning with Auto Brake functions enhanced by Collision Mitigation by Braking. The vision system also provides Lane Departure Warning and Driver Alert.

"We are excited to work with vehicle manufacturers to help them implement active safety," said Heiko Rother, product line manager for the Delphi Europe Safety product business unit. "Early adoption of these technologies helps make them safety trend-setters."

ACC helps drivers maintain speed and following distance in nearly all driving conditions. It also serves as the platform for other safety systems like collision warning and mitigation. Delphi's radar sensor continuously measures the distance to vehicles ahead and automatically adjusts the speed of the vehicle to help maintain a driver-selected "gap" from the vehicle in front of them to enhance safety. The driver activates the cruise control, setting the desired maximum speed -- beginning at 20 mph -- and chooses the minimum time interval to the vehicle ahead.

Collision Warning with Auto Brake works in concert with the ACC to help avoid rear-ending other vehicles or helps to minimize their effect. Visual and audible warnings are provided to the driver if the system senses a possible collision as the vehicle approaches another moving or stationary vehicle from the rear. If the risk of a collision increases, despite the warning, brake support is activated and the brake pads move against the discs in anticipation of a hard stop. The brake pressure is also reinforced hydraulically, ensuring effective braking irrespective of the pressure applied to the brake pedal. If the system senses that the collision is imminent, Auto Brake is activated to automatically brake the car, thus further helping to reduce collision forces.

Lane departure warning gives the driver an audible warning that they have drifted out of their respective lane. The driver alert system warns the driver through an audible signal of impending collisions.

Delphi first introduced its adaptive cruise control in 1999 and has worked with automakers on the development of active safety systems for several years.

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 to obtain an extension of term or other amendments as necessary to maintain access to such facility; the terms of any reorganization plan ultimately confirmed; 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 prosecute, confirm and consummate one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the chapter 11 cases; the Company's ability to satisfy the terms and conditions of the EPCA; 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 (including the transformation plan described in its filings with the SEC and the Bankruptcy 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 Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, 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. Additionally, no assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the bankruptcy cases to each of these constituencies. A plan of reorganization could result in holders of Delphi's common stock receiving no distribution on account of their interest and cancellation of their interests. In addition, under certain conditions specified in the Bankruptcy Code, a plan of reorganization may be confirmed notwithstanding its rejection by an impaired class of creditors or equity holders and notwithstanding the fact that equity holders do not receive or retain property on account of their equity interests under the plan. In light of the foregoing, the Company considers the value of the common stock to be highly speculative and cautions equity holders that the stock may ultimately be determined to have little or no value. Accordingly, the Company urges that appropriate caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in Delphi's common stock or other equity interests or any claims relating to prepetition liabilities.
