FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 9, 2008

WASHINGTON- Charles E.F. Millard, director of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, issued the following statement today:

"Delphi management has assured us of their personal and institutional commitment to keep the Delphi pension plans upon emergence from bankruptcy. The PBGC will continue to work with Delphi and its creditors to achieve that goal.

"In the interim, we will act forcefully to protect Delphi's pension plans, especially in light of the company's decision not to seek renewal of its pension funding waivers. We will draw down certain letters of credit and keep liens in place on the company's assets until Delphi has successfully emerged and made its pension plans whole.

"The Delphi plans face growing liabilities that must be met. Delphi expects to transfer some of those liabilities to a plan sponsored by GM. This transfer must take place before Sept. 30, or the company will face significant obstacles in complying with federal pension funding requirements. The PBGC urges all parties to work toward a successful resolution of the pension issues by Sept. 30. "
