5 Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 December 2007 The Trustee of The Delphi Lockheed Automotive Limited Pension Plan (the Plan ) present their annual report together with the investment report, actuarial statements and certificates, summary of contributions, compliance statement and financial statements for the year ended 31 December Key Highlights During the year the assets of the Plan increased by 1.1 million, due to the increase in the market value of the Plan s assets and at the end of the year they stood at 27.0 million. The Plan s overall investment return for 2007 was 5.6%, the fifth consecutive positive year, but the second half of the year was negative as the impact of the US sub-prime liquidity crisis began to be reflected in the markets. Total Plan membership during the calendar year increased by 7 to 421 members. Employee members fell by 10 to 197 while pensioner and deferred members increased by 13 and 4 members respectively. Constitution of the Plan The Plan was established on 1 October 2000 under, and is governed by, a Trust Deed and Rules, as amended. The new section of the Plan is contracted-out of the Second State Pension (S2P). The closed section of the Plan is a defined benefit pension arrangement, where pensions are determined by earnings levels and length of service. The new employee section is a defined benefit pension arrangement with different accrual rates depending on contribution rates. The Plan is contributory and provides retirement and dependants pensions. The Plan also provides death benefits, before and after retirement, and discretionary ill-health pensions. In the new section, members are contracted-out of S2P under the provisions of the Pensions Act 1995 (the Pensions Act ), using the reference scheme test basis which requires the Plan Actuary to certify that the Plan is expected to provide pensions for at least 90% of contributing members, which are at least as good as those under a reference scheme set out in the Pensions Act. The level of contributions to the Plan with effect from the Plan valuation as at 1 January 2007, is determined by agreement between the Trustee of the Plan and the Principal Company, Delphi Lockheed Automotive Limited (the "Company"), and, in default of agreement, by the Pensions Regulator, in accordance with the requirement of the Pensions Act The cost of providing benefits not covered by members contributions is provided by the participating companies. If the Plan were ever to be terminated, the benefits payable will be determined in accordance with the Plan Rules and overriding legislation Plan Advisers There are written agreements in place between the Trustee and each of the Plan advisers listed on page 1 and also with the Principal Employer. There were no changes in Plan advisers during the year. Management of the Plan The Trustee of the Plan, Delphi Lockheed Automotive Pension Trustees Limited, is appointed and may be removed by the Company. The Plan rules contain provisions for the appointment and removal of the Trustee. The names of the current Trustee Directors are included on page 1. Susan Surman replaced Stephen Falp on 27 February 2007 as a member-nominated director. 2

6 Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 December 2007 (cont d) To conform to the provisions of the Pensions Act 2004, the Trustee is in the process of finalising consultation for the appointment of member nominated directors. The Trustee met on 5 occasions during the year. The US operations of the Company s ultimate parent undertaking, Delphi Corporation ( Delphi ) remain in Chapter 11 bankruptcy status, as per the voluntary petitions for business reorganisation filed on 8 October The non-us operations of Delphi, including the Company, were not included in the filing and have continued their normal business operations and are not subject to Chapter 11 requirements. During the last two years Delphi has made significant progress in resolving the legacy issues, and currently expects to emerge from Chapter 11 during 2008/2009. The Trustee has been advised that the Company remains committed to the Plan, continues to meet its obligations under the schedule of contributions, has no plans to reduce pension payments, cease contributions, or close the Plan. Risk Management The Trustee has overall responsibility for internal controls and risk management. They are committed to identifying, evaluating and managing risk and to implementing and maintaining control procedures to reduce significant risks to an acceptable level. In order to meet this responsibility the Trustee has adopted a risk policy. The objective of this policy is to limit the exposure of the Trustee, and the assets that it is responsible for safeguarding, to business, financial, operational, compliance and other risks where possible. The Trustee has created a Risk Register. The purpose of the Risk Register is: to highlight the scope of risk to which the Plan is exposed from the Trustee s perspective; to rank those risks in terms of likelihood and impact; and to identify management actions that are either currently being taken, or that are believed should be taken, in order to mitigate the identified risks. Trustee Training The Pensions Act 2004 requires trustees to have knowledge and understanding of pensions legislation, investments, the scheme s trust deed and rules, their statement of investment principles, the statement of funding principles and other documentation which sets out administration policy in relation to the plan. A training log has been established by the Trustee and each director is responsible for reporting to the Plan secretary which module of the Pension Regulator s toolkit they have completed and which additional training programmes they have attended. During the year Trustee Directors have attended specialist training courses offered by the Plan advisors and investment managers Actuarial Valuation The Trustee must obtain an actuarial valuation of the Plan at least once every three years, to determine the funding level and to provide the basis for it to agree the contribution schedule with the employer. The latest actuarial valuation of the Plan was carried out by the Plan Actuary at 31 December 2006, using a market-led approach in which the assets are valued at their market value at the date of the valuation, and liabilities are valued using financial assumptions derived from market yields on Fixed Interest and Index-linked Government stock at the valuation date. 3

7 Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 December 2007 (cont d) This was the first valuation since the Pensions Act 2004 introduced new requirements for the funding of Pensions Schemes; the Pensions Regulator has published a new code of practice on funding and guidance on how it will monitor funding discussions. The Pensions Protection Fund (PPF) has also been created and the Plan has now to consider the additional levies as part of its cost structure. The principal assumptions underlying the valuation were: the discount rate, which took into account the ability to actually achieve a higher return than gilts, was set at of 5.8%, price inflation of 3.0%, salary increases of 3.0%, pension increases (in excess of GMP) of 3.0%, and investment returns of 7.3% for the next 2 years. Mortality assumptions have been revised upwards with 65 year old males assumed to live to 84 and females to 88 years. At 31 December 2006, the market value of the assets of the Plan, excluding AVC s, was 25.0 million. This was sufficient to cover 99% of the benefits that had accrued to members. This is a shortfall of 0.2 million relative to the Technical Provisions, i.e., the levels of assets agreed by the Trustee and the Company as being appropriate to meet member benefits. The actuary is also required to show what the position would be on a solvency basis with assets used to buy annuities from an insurance company. The statutory estimate of solvency ratio is 48%. The next actuarial valuation will take place as at 1 January Plan Membership Employee members Number at 1 January Add Employees joining during the year 10 Less Retirements (9) Early leavers with deferred pensions (9) Refunds (2) (20) Number at 31 December Pensioner members Number at 1 January Add New pensioners during the year 9 Deferred pensions into payment 4 13 Number at 31 December

8 Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 December 2007 (cont d) Deferred members Number at 1 January Add Leavers during the year 9 Less Deferred pensions into payment (4) Transfers out (1) (5) Number at 31 December Total membership at 31 December AVC Providers Since inception, the Plan has operated an Additional Voluntary Contribution ( AVC ) scheme. Individual members are able to invest additional contributions either in a with-profits insurance policy run by the Prudential Corporation or in a choice of unit-linked funds operated by Fidelity Pensions Management. Further details are set out in the notes to the financial statements. At 31 December (2006: 28) members were making additional voluntary contributions to the Prudential Corporation in order to secure greater pension benefits. A further 29 ( 2006: 33) were still members of the plan but either chose not to make voluntary contributions or were deferred members. At the same date 21 members (2006: 12) made AVC contributions to the range of unit-linked funds run by Fidelity Pensions Management Of these, 5 chose not to contribute during A further 12 members are now deferred members. Pension Increases The guaranteed rate of annual increase of pensions in excess of the GMP in the course of payment, for service before 31 December 2005, is the rise in the Retail Prices Index up to a maximum of 5%; for service thereafter the cap is reduced to 2.5%. In April 2007, in accordance with the recommendations of the Company and with the approval of the Pensions Board, the eligible members received an increase on that part of their pension, in excess of the GMP, for service to 31 December 2005, of 4.4% which was the increase in the RPI for the year ended 31 December 2006, and for service thereafter, of 2.5% Transfer Values Cash equivalents paid during the Plan year with respect to transfers have been calculated and verified in the manner prescribed by the Pension Schemes Act 1993 and do not include discretionary benefits. Review of Financial Development of the Plan The financial statements have been prepared and audited in compliance with regulations made under section 41(1) and (6) Pensions Act

9 Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 December 2007 (cont d) Further Information Further details of investment performance are included in the investment report. Requests for additional information about the Plan generally, or queries relating to members' own benefits, should be made to the Plan administrators, whose address appears on page 1 of this report. Further information for members is included in members information at the back of this annual report. Investment Report The Plan participates in The GM (UK) Common Investment Pool ( CIP ) the generic name for ten Pension Fund Pooling Vehicles ( PFPV s) and one Property Unit Trust ( PUT ). The CIP holds investments on behalf of the Plan and is administered by a corporate trustee, GM Investment Trustees Limited ( GMITL ), which appoints independent investment managers to manage the investments. The Trustee entered into a contract with a GMITL holding company, GM Asset Management (UK) Limited ( GMAM (UK) ), to provide investment management services. Details of investments and a financial review are set out in the report and financial statements of the CIP which form an integral part hereof. Copies of the Statement of Investment Principles ( SIP ) are available on request from the Plan administrators. Investment Objectives The Trustee wishes to ensure that the Plan can meet its obligations to the beneficiaries while recognising the cost implications to the participating companies of pursuing excessively conservative investment strategies. The Trustee appointed Watson Wyatt to conduct an asset-liability study early in 2004, following the previous actuarial valuation to determine the appropriate strategic asset allocation of the Plan based on the known liabilities of the Plan. As part of this study the Trustee, in consultation with the Company, determined the objectives of the Plan. These objectives were defined as: a) The acquisition of suitable assets of appropriate liquidity which will generate income and capital growth to meet, together with new contributions from members and the Company, the cost of current and future benefits which the Plan provides, as set out in the Trust Deed and Rules. b) To limit the risk of the assets failing to meet the liabilities over the long term c) To minimise the long term costs of the Plan by maximising the return on the assets whilst having regard to the objective shown under b. 6

Asset Allocation The Trustee has signed an investment management agreement with GMAM (UK), the investment trustee of the CIP, covering GMAM (UK) s role in controlling the asset allocation for the Plan, and aiming to add value through tactical asset allocation. As required, additional contributions to the Plan are invested in new units in the various PFPV s or if cash is required to pay pensions or other benefits, units are liquidated from the PFPV s. Wherever possible, GMAM (UK) tries to match any transactions with other pension plans in the CIP. Employer-Related Investments At 31 December 2007, the Plan held no employer-related investments. Custody Appropriate steps have been taken to safeguard the assets of the Plan. Details of the custody arrangements for the majority of the assets which are held in the CIP, are set out in the report and financial statements of the CIP. Documents of title to the other assets of the Plan are held by the Company. 7

11 Report of the Trustee for the year ended 31 December 2007 (cont d) Investment Performance During 2007, markets were again positive, but increasingly volatile and the Plan s overall return was 5.6% before fees, 0.1% below its customised benchmark. Three and five year annualised returns are 13.4% and 13.9%, 0.2% ahead of, and 0.3% below respectively, the benchmark.

Statement of Trustee's Responsibilities The financial statements are the responsibility of the Trustee. Pension scheme regulations requires the Trustee to make available to Plan members, beneficiaries and certain other parties, audited financial statements for each Plan year which: show a true and fair view, in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), of the financial transactions of the plan during the plan year and of the amount and disposition at the end of the plan year of its assets and liabilities, other than liabilities to pay pensions and benefits after the end of the plan year, and contain the information specified in the Schedule to the Occupational Pension Plans (Requirement to obtain Audited Accounts and a Statement from the Auditor) Regulations 1996, including a statement whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice Financial Reports of Pension Schemes. The Trustee has supervised the preparation of the financial statements and has agreed suitable accounting policies, to be applied consistently, making any estimates and judgements on a prudent and reasonable basis. The Trustee is also responsible for making available certain other information about the Plan in the form of an Annual Report. The Trustee is responsible under pensions legislation for ensuring that there is prepared, maintained and from time to time revised a schedule of contributions showing the rates of contributions (other than voluntary contributions) payable towards the Plan by or on behalf of the employer and the active members of the plan and the dates on or before which such contributions 8

Where breaches of the schedule occur, the Trustee is required by the Pensions Acts 1995 and 2004 to consider making reports to the Pensions Regulator and to members. The Trustee also has a general responsibility for ensuring that adequate accounting records are kept and for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the plan and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities, including the maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control.

21 Notes to the financial statements for the Year ended 31 December Accounting policies Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Occupational Pension Schemes (Requirement to obtain Audited Accounts and a Statement from the Auditor) Regulations 1996, and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, Financial Reports of Pension Schemes (revised November 2002). The financial statements summarise the transactions of the Plan and deal with the net assets at the disposal of the Trustee. They do not take account of obligations to pay pensions and other benefits in the future. The actuarial position of the Plan, which does take account of such obligations, is in the actuarial valuation section of the trustee report on pages 3 and 4, and the report of the actuary, is set out on pages 10 to 11 and the financial statements should be read in conjunction with it. The financial statements have been prepared on the accruals basis of accounting. Contributions and benefits Employer and employee normal contributions are accounted for in the period to which the corresponding wages and salaries relate. Employer special contributions are paid in accordance with the requirements of the schedule of contributions in force. Contributions and benefits are brought into account on the accruals basis as amounts receivable and payable during the year. Investments Investments in unitised funds represent the Plan's share of the accumulated fund of the ten Pension Fund Pooling Vehicles (PFPV s) and one Property Unit Trust (PUT), collectively known as The GM (UK) Common Investment Pool (CIP), calculated in accordance with the Trust Deed. The unitised funds are valued at mid-price Net Asset Value. Valuation of AVC s with the Prudential Corporation is provided by Prudential and this includes the capital value of policies in payment. The unit linked AVC funds offered by Fidelity Pensions Management are Open Ended Investment Company ( OEIC ) funds which are valued at mid-price Net Asset Value. Investment income Interest on cash deposits and other investment income have been accounted for on an accruals basis. Administrative expenses The administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan, but investment and other related expenses are paid by the appropriate PFPV s and are borne by the Plan in proportion to its share therein. 18

22 Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007 (cont d) Transfers Transfer values represent the capital sums either received in respect of members from other pension schemes of previous employers, or payable to the pension schemes of new employers for members who have left the scheme, in most cases this is when cash is either received or paid. They take account of transfers where the trustee of the receiving scheme has agreed to accept the liabilities in respect of the transferring members before the year-end, and where the amount of the transfer can be determined with reasonable certainty. 2.

The adjustment in the cash PFPV, where the unit value remains constant, recognises the interest on cash deposits in the CIP, partially offset by payment of certain fees. The Investment Manager, GM Asset Management (UK) Limited, and GM Investment Trustees Limited, the operator of the GM (UK) Common Investment Pool, are both registered in the UK. 8.
