ITEM 8.01   OTHER EVENTS
On January 14, 2008, Delphi Corporation (“Delphi”) contributed approximately $45 million to its United States (“U.S.”) pension plans. These defined benefit pension plans are sponsored by Delphi and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries, all of whom (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed for court-supervised restructuring under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”). The amount contributed represents the portion of the pension contribution attributable to services rendered by employees of the Debtors in the fourth quarter of 2007. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, a minimum funding payment of approximately $135 million to the U.S. pension plans was due on January 15, 2008. As permitted under Chapter 11, however, Delphi contributed only the portion of the contribution attributable to post-bankruptcy-petition service. The unpaid portion of the minimum funding payments remains payable as a claim against Delphi and will be determined in Delphi’s plan of reorganization with other claims. Delphi has appointed an independent fiduciary for all of its tax qualified defined benefit pension plans who is charged with pursuing claims on behalf of the plans to recover minimum funding contributions.
