Black Engineer of the Year Awards Recognize Delphi Business Line Quality Manager

The Mississippian Joins List of Distinguished Technology Experts Honored by Program

Release Date: February 06, 2008

TROY, Mich. — Terrence E. Mosley, a quality manager at Delphi Packard Electrical/Electronic Architecture, Brookhaven, Miss., will receive a special recognition award for his support of education at the high-school, collegiate and graduate-school levels during the Black Engineer of the Year Awards Conference Feb. 14-16 in Baltimore.

The Black Engineer of the Year Awards, presented by Career Communications Group Inc., recognize individuals who have made meaningful contributions to technological innovation and have exhibited excellence in the development and delivery of such technology while making meaningful contributions to others.

Mosley, a resident of Jackson, Miss., joined Delphi in 1991 as a manufacturing supervisor and held a variety of supervisory positions in engineering, manufacturing and quality before being promoted to quality manager for Delphi's Electrical Centers business line last April. He also serves as Delphi's ambassador of education, volunteering with the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics program at Provine High School in Jackson and holds a key position on Delphi's university relations team, ensuring that Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has ready access to speakers, technical presenters and industry leaders. Mosley is also active with the university's Engineering Summer Institute and is responsible for placing promising young college graduates in entry-level positions throughout Delphi.

On the graduate school side, Mosley is Delphi's liaison on the Board of Directors of the National GEM Consortium. The National GEM Consortium is a non-profit organization that seeks to increase the numbers of advanced engineering candidates in the corporate ranks and the number of minority faculty at colleges and universities by providing fellowships to minority students majoring in engineering or science.

Mosley also represents Delphi as a member of the Delphi Corporate Recruiting Team at all graduate school activities at the National Society of Black Engineers annual conference.

Under Mosley's leadership, 100 percent of Provine High School's FIRST robotics team members graduate high school and 85% go on to pursue college degrees, reports Lender Luse, a science teacher at H. W. Byers High School in Holly Springs, Miss., and former FIRST robotics team mentor.

In a low-income, inner city school where 12% of students drop out before graduating and less than half of graduates go on to college, these are "very significant" achievements, Luse says. Through his involvement with FIRST Mosley not only encourages students to become involved in the robotics program, Luse says, he inspires them to think about college and motivates them to get good grades. He's even helped them study for the ACT exam and came up with ideas on where they could find scholarship money, she adds.

Mosley's FIRST team won the Bayou Regional Competition championship in New Orleans this past March.

"Mr. Mosley's career can be summed up as inspirational, influential and diversified," says Tyrone D. Taborn, chairman and chief executive officer of the awards conference. With this recognition, Mosley joins an exclusive club of technology professionals previously honored by the awards program. Among those distinguished honorees are Delphi Corp. Chief Executive Officer and President Rodney O'Neal, who was named Black Engineer of the Year in 2002; IBM Senior Executive Officer Rodney C. Adkins, senior vice president, development and manufacturing for IBM Systems and Technology Group; Linda Gooden, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin's $8.4 billion Information Systems & Global Services division; and Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, president, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Mosley holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Southern University and a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology.

He is a member of the Leadership Jackson class of 2000-01; was included in Outstanding Young Men of America 1997 and Outstanding College Students of America; is a recipient of the GEM fellowship, NACME (National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering) Scholarship and 3M Scholarship; received the State of Louisiana Golden Rule Award for volunteer work while attending Southern University and received the East Baton Rouge Parish School District Volunteers in Public Schools Award.

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 Note 2. Transformation Plan and Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, to the consolidated financial statements) 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.
