Platinum Equity´s Acquisition of Delphi Steering Approved by U.S. Bankruptcy Court



    Platinum Equity was notified today that its affiliate, Steering
    Solutions Corp., has been approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
    the Southern District of New York as the acquirer of Delphi
    Corporation´s (PINK SHEETS:DPHIQ), global steering and halfshaft
    business. The ruling clears the way for completion of the transaction
    as soon as all regulatory approvals have been received.

    "We are very enthusiastic about completing this transaction and
    launching the steering and halfshaft business as a standalone
    company," said Platinum Equity Partner Johnny O. Lopez.

    "We had an entire team, including Platinum´s Chairman Tom Gores,
    working very hard over the past 18 months to understand this business,
    and to forge agreements with both Delphi management and the steering
    unit´s leadership team, led by Bob Remenar," Mr. Lopez said. "Along
    the way, we cultivated strong relationships with the United Auto
    Workers and with General Motors, key constituents whose support is
    vital to the long-term success of the business.

    "We´re now looking forward to completing the transaction and
    building on the rich heritage and solid foundation of this business,"
    Mr. Lopez said. "We have a lot of confidence that Bob Remenar and his
    team can build, with our support, a strong standalone business,
    dedicated to technology and the company´s diverse global customer
    base, with great potential for growth in the future."

    The sale includes all facets of the $2.7 billion global steering
    and halfshaft business, which produces electric and hydraulic steering
