Creditors OK Delphi's bankruptcy plan
NEW YORK (AP) - Auto parts supplier Delphi Corp. (News) said Thursday it has won approval from nearly all of its creditors for its plan to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The Troy, Mich.-based company is seeking a federal judge's approval of the plan in a two-day hearing in New York that started Thursday. Among the objections Delphi faced were protests by labor unions over a management compensation plan that gives valuable equity stakes in the reorganized company to top executives.
Delphi reported that 81 percent of about 4,000 eligible creditors who voted on the plan have endorsed it.
Although such a large percentage of creditors accepted the plan, Delphi could face a challenge in court since the approval was not unanimous.
One class of creditors in the company's diesel systems unit rejected the plan, and another class could be determined to have rejected the plan, depending on whether the court allows certain contested ballots to be counted.
'Although no assurances can be made, Delphi believes that the plan satisfies the requirements of the bankruptcy code and is confirmable notwithstanding the rejection of the plan by certain classes,' the company stated in its announcement.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain approved a settlement on Thursday that Delphi had reached earlier with bondholders, removing one of the obstacles to the company emerging from bankruptcy. Delphi agreed to pay certain fees and expenses to bondholders as part of the deal.
The company on Thursday also said it has reached an agreement to sell its wheel bearings business to Resilience Capital Partners for up to $44.2 million. The deal includes the sale of assets such as machinery, inventory, intellectual property and certain supplier contracts.
In a bankruptcy court filing, the company said it expected to have a $6.1 billion exit loan in place by early next month.
General Motors Corp. spun off its parts-making operations as Delphi in 1999.

¥ € $ - Learn. Practice. Trade.NEW YORK (Reuters) - The former CEO and now Chairman of Delphi Corp (DPHIQ.PK: Quote, Profile, Research) on Friday testified he had no expectation he would receive an $8.3 million cash award for helping steer the company through bankruptcy, because he didn't expect the company to file for bankruptcy in the first place.
"When I signed on, I had no expectation we'd go into Chapter 11," Steve Miller testified on Friday. "I had no expectation I would be eligible for an emergence bonus," he said.
Miller testified as part of an ongoing hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan to consider the auto parts company's reorganization plan.
Miller, who was succeeded as CEO last year by Rodney O'Neal, stands to get $8.3 million cash upon the company's emergence from bankruptcy, according to court documents. O'Neal would receive $5.3 million, with more than 500 other executives also eligible for bonuses.
Miller became CEO of Delphi in mid-2005, and the company filed for bankruptcy that October.
Asked by a lawyer representing a union that has objected to the bonuses whether he would accept his bonus in stock instead of cash, Miller said: "I decided I would accept it as cash. I would have a preference for cash."
"So would the creditors," said Tom Kennedy, a lawyer representing the IUE-CWA union.
Delphi on Friday defended the plan to pay about $87 million in bonuses to executives upon the company's emergence from Chapter 11 protection.
Lawyers for unions that oppose the bonus plan tried to show the bonuses were too high, and were based on comparisons to companies that were too different from Delphi to serve as models. Continued...

What's this
By Vinnee Tong, The Associated Press

NEW YORK - A judge said Tuesday he would approve the bankruptcy exit plan of auto parts supplier Delphi Corp. once it drastically reduces the total payout of cash bonuses to top executives.
The company's plan is a reorganization blueprint that largely shifts its manufacturing to cheaper overseas plants and eliminates tens of thousands of union jobs in the U.S.
Delphi hopes to emerge from court protection before the end of March but must first secure exit financing in a tough credit market. An executive said it expected to get a commitment for US$4.5 billion in financing by Tuesday but there was no indication on Monday that the company was close to securing the loans.
Delphi supplies some of the world's biggest automakers, including General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen and Hyundai. Its restructuring plan was created assuming a market value for the company of $12.8 billion, or $59.61 a share.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain told Delphi to slash executive cash bonuses to a total of $16.5 million from a proposed $87.9 million, which the company had intended to distribute to more than 500 managers upon emergence.
The exit plan stands on several key pillars: a commitment by equity investors to inject up to $2.55 billion, a deal with former parent General Motors Corp. over legacy labour obligations and agreements with labour unions that led to a massive reduction in the size of the unionized work force. Still missing is $4.5 billion of a total exit financing package worth roughly $6 billion in loans that Delphi needs before it can emerge.
The reorganization plan was approved last week by 81 per cent of about 4,000 eligible creditors who voted. One class of creditors rejected it.
The judge let stand the part of the company's compensation proposal that gives more than 500 managers stock totalling eight per cent in the reorganized Delphi.
The United Auto Workers union argued the compensation plan was unfair to union workers, many of whom took early retirement or buyout offers in order to help the company get out of bankruptcy.
Lawyer Peter DeChiara said UAW workers did not sacrifice all they did to give management a windfall at the end of the case. "It's a double standard Delphi uses in approaching compensation for its executives versus its hourly employees," DeChiara said.
The UAW and other unions saw the elimination of 27,000 of 33,000 jobs over the course of the case.
"Communities throughout the Midwest have been deeply impacted, families devastated," said Thomas Kennedy, a lawyer for the International Union of Electronic-Communications Workers of America.
Executive compensation was the most significant change to corporate bankruptcy law under a reform act put into effect in 2005, just nine days after Delphi filed for bankruptcy. The change was designed to prevent companies from giving executives retention bonuses.
The company's own compensation consultant, Nick Bubnovich of Watson Wyatt Worldwide, said Friday the cash bonus plan had some characteristics of a retention program, and that he knew of no other company in bankruptcy that rewarded such a large number of executives for emergence.
Delphi's factories, workers
(AP) - UNION EMPLOYEES: As of Sept. 30, Delphi (News) employed roughly 18,500 hourly employees, down from 33,000 when it entered court protection in October 2005.

Global auto part supplier giant Delphi has sold more than RMB 10 billion ($13.8 B) worth auto parts products to Chinese automakers last year, up 40 percent from one year earlier, the Shanghai-based Wenhui Daily reported today.
Delphi supplier auto parts products to some leading automakers in China, like FAW-VW, Shanghai VW, Shanghai GM, Changan Ford and Dongfeng.

Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Delphi Corp., the auto-parts maker once owned by General Motors Corp., won a federal judge's approval of its reorganization plan, allowing it to emerge from bankruptcy by the end of next month.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain in Manhattan today signed off on the plan, clearing the way for Troy, Michigan-based Delphi to fully repay creditors more than two years after it sought court protection. The approval was contingent on a change to the executive compensation plan demanded by its unions, Drain said.
``We regret having to object to confirmation,'' United Auto Workers lawyer Peter DeChiara said. ``Delphi left us no choice.''
The company resolved or had overruled objections from creditors and shareholders who balked at earlier changes to the reorganization plan, including those triggered by a $2.55 billion investment in the auto-parts maker by a group led by private- equity firm Appaloosa Management LP.
Under the plan, existing stockholders are to receive new securities the proposal estimates to be worth $348 million. Delphi, GM, creditors and shareholders agreed last month that the auto-parts maker's total enterprise value after bankruptcy will be about $13.3 billion. Delphi said it plans to emerge from bankruptcy by Feb. 28.
About 500,000 creditors voted on the plan earlier this month. The company said all but one out of 17 classes voted for the plan by the required two-thirds majority based on amount of claims. The ``no'' vote came from unsecured creditors of the company's Delphi Diesel Systems unit.
Win Confirmation
Drain said his approval relied on Delphi making changes to executive compensation provisions to reduce cash payments triggered by emergence. The United Auto Workers and the International Union of Electronic Workers-Communications Workers of America objected to payments to the company's management.
Delphi must cut cash payments to more than 500 managers to $16.5 million from $87 million, the judge said. He didn't demand changes to stock-based incentives. Drain criticized Delphi's compensation consultant for not considering data that didn't support large payouts.
The auto-parts maker had predicted it may still win confirmation of the plan by using the so-called cram-down process, under which a ``no'' vote can be overcome if the company can prove creditors will receive more under the plan than through a liquidation.
Cram Down Plan
Delphi was allowed to cram down the plan on creditors that voted against it because the company contributed value so the company can retain equity interest, Delphi attorney John Butler Jr. said.
Delphi said Jan. 17 that it reached a deal with Davidson Kempner Capital Management LLC, Whitebox Advisors LLC and other holders of its bonds, resolving their objection to its turnaround plan. In exchange, Delphi agreed to pay the group's legal fees up to $5 million.
Delphi attorney John Butler Jr. said the settlement saves the cost of a potentially lengthy court fight over the value of the company. Separately, Drain overruled a request by Wilmington Trust Co., the trustee for Delphi's senior notes, to set a ``sunset date'' for the plan if he chooses to confirm it.
Delphi was unable to obtain $7.1 billion in exit financing it originally sought, first cutting the amount to $6.8 billion and then $5.2 billion. The company said Jan. 7 it would reduce the amount of the loan further because its cash position had improved.
Equity in Delphi's reorganized business will be worth about $7.8 billion. A prior version of Delphi's plan assumed an equity value of $13.4 billion and a ``distributable equity value'' of $8.1 billion.
Delphi reported a $231 million net loss in November, bringing the total net loss for 11 months of 2007 to $2.8 billion.
The company sought court protection under Chapter 11 in October 2005, listing $19.1 billion in debt in its amended schedules of property and liabilities.
Delphi fell 1.5 cents to 15.5 cents in over-the-counter trading.
The case is In re Delphi Corp., 05-44481, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District New York (Manhattan).

The U.S. Department of Labor announced Wednesday an emergency grant of more than $1.8 million, with an initial release of $598,241, to Wisconsin to assist approximately 400 workers affected by the closure of Delphi Corp.'s Oak Creek plants.
"This $1.8 million grant will enable Wisconsin workers who have been affected by the closures to get the help they need to find new jobs," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao.
On June 22, 2007, Troy, Mich.-based Delphi Corp. announced the closure of its electrical and safety division. On Sept. 9, 2007, Delphi announced it would also close its powertrain division. As of Nov. 27, 2007, affected workers from both of these divisions had been certified as eligible for the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program.
The grant, awarded to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, will provide re-employment services not covered under the TAA program. Services may include assessment, career counseling and case management. Services available to these workers under TAA may include training, job search allowances, relocation allowances and a health coverage tax credit, among others.
