     This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Delphi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and is being filed on behalf of (i) Highland Capital Management L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Highland Capital”); (ii) Strand Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Strand”); (iii) James D. Dondero; (iv) Highland Credit Strategies Fund, a Delaware trust (“HCF”); (v) Highland Multi-Strategy Onshore Master SubFund, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“SubFund”); and (vi) Highland Multi-Strategy Master Fund, L.P., a Bermuda limited partnership (“MasterFund” and, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), to amend the Schedule 13D that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 22, 2006 (the “Original 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on January 5, 2007 (the “13D First Amendment”), as amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on January 12, 2007 (the “13D Second Amendment” and collectively, the “Highland 13D”).
     Except as set forth below, all previous Items are unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D previously filed with the Commission.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
     Item 3 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     The Reporting Persons have acquired an aggregate of 43,941,415 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), which are reported herein, in open market transactions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $91,141,371.61 using a combination of funds from accounts managed by Highland Capital and Mr. Dondero’s personal funds to purchase the shares owned in his individual capacity.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     Item 4 is supplemented as follows:
     On April 18, 2007, Highland Capital delivered a letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 5 (the “Letter to the Board”) and incorporated by reference herein. Highland Capital indicated that it believes that it would be in the best interests of the Issuer and its various creditors, stockholders and other parties in interest to pursue a transaction similar to the Highland Proposal, as detailed in the Highland 13D, which would be predicated upon a broad-based rights offering but with additional sponsors and based on current economics and other factors. Highland Capital requested a meeting with the Board of Directors of the Issuer, management or any representatives thereof to discuss this alternative transaction.
     On April 18, 2007, Highland Capital received a letter from David M. Sherbin, the Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer of the Issuer (the “Sherbin Letter”), in response to the Letter to the Board. Mr. Sherbin acknowledged the Issuer’s receipt of the Letter to the Board and Highland’s willingness to meet to discuss a potential transaction with the Issuer, but stated that the Issuer was unwilling to renew the discussions with Highland Capital for a number of reasons.
          In response to the Sherbin Letter and the issues raised therein, on April 19, 2007, Highland Capital delivered a letter to Mr. Sherbin, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 6 (the “Sherbin Response Letter”) and incorporated by reference herein. Highland Capital reiterated its willingness to renew discussions and meet with the Issuer. In the interim, Highland Capital may have on-going discussions with other stakeholders in the Issuer, as well as outside third parties, including financial institutions.

 


 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     Item 5 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     (a) As of April 20, 2007, (i) Highland Capital may be deemed to beneficially own 38,646,915 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 6.88%1,2 of the outstanding Common Stock; (ii) Strand may be deemed to beneficially own 38,646,915 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 6.88%1,2 of the outstanding Common Stock; (iii) James D. Dondero may be deemed to beneficially own 43,941,4151 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 7.82%1 of the outstanding Common Stock; (iv) HCF may be deemed to beneficially own 2,338,938 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 0.42%1 of the outstanding Common Stock; (v) SubFund may be deemed to beneficially own 1,037,004 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 0.18%1 of the outstanding Common Stock; and (vi) MasterFund may be deemed to beneficially own 1,037,004 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 0.18%1 of the outstanding Common Stock.

Gentlemen:
     We have read with interest the recent public disclosures regarding the inability of the parties to obtain the necessary approvals and agreements in order to proceed with respect to the proposal (the “Appaloosa/Cerberus Proposal”) made by Appaloosa Management, L.P., Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd., Merrill Lynch & Co. and UBS Securities, LLC (collectively, the “Appaloosa/Cerberus Group”) to Delphi Corporation (“Delphi”), which was supported by Delphi and its Board of Directors, and the possible withdrawal of the Appaloosa/Cerberus Proposal. As you are aware, Highland Capital Management, L.P. (“Highland Capital”) and certain of its affiliates and related entities continue to be the second largest beneficial stockholder of Delphi. As you are also aware, Highland Capital previously set forth a proposal (the “Highland Proposal”) to purchase new common equity of the reorganized Delphi and its United States subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Company”) pursuant to a back-stop of a rights offering, in order to support the transformation plan of the Company announced on March 31, 2006, and a plan of reorganization to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Company’s Chapter 11 Case No. 05-44481, which Highland Proposal was rejected by Delphi and its Board of Directors.
     Highland Capital continues to believe that it would be in the best interests of Delphi and its various creditors, stockholders and other parties in interest, including, most importantly, its common stockholders, to pursue a transaction similar to the Highland Proposal, which would be predicated upon a broad-based rights offering but with additional sponsors and based on current economics and other factors, rather than any proposal made or to be made by the Appaloosa/Cerberus Group or any member thereof. Given Highland Capital’s and its affiliates’ and related entities’ current investment in Delphi, its current knowledge base relating to the Company and the various constituents in the pending bankruptcy proceedings, its financial strength as an organization and its position in the financial community, we believe that Highland Capital is uniquely positioned to work with Delphi, its Board of Directors and its management team, General Motors Corporation, its unions and any other constituents in order to implement

 


 

such a transaction on an expeditious basis. Given the fact that time has been lost pursuing the Appaloosa/Cerberus Proposal rather than pursuing a transaction that would have benefited the interests of all of the stakeholders of Delphi, we believe it is imperative that the Company proceed with respect to such a new transaction and a meeting be set up immediately to discuss the mechanics of proceeding with such a transaction. We are available at any time to meet with the Board, management or any representatives thereof to discuss this matter further and to address any questions or concerns you may have.
     Please contact me immediately at 972-628-4100.
         
  Very truly yours,


HIGHLAND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, L.P.

Re:
  Delphi Corporation, et al.,
 
  Case No 05-44481(RDD) (Jointly Administered)
Dear David:
     I am in receipt of your letter dated April 18, 2007 responding to our letter to the Board of Directors of Delphi Corporation (“Delphi”) of the same date.
     Frankly, I am completely perplexed by your response. First, Highland Capital’s prior proposal was explicitly rejected and opposed in the bankruptcy proceedings by Delphi and its Board of Directors. Instead, Delphi supported and entered into framework agreements with the Appaloosa/Cerberus Group which included deal protection elements—including a $100 million break-up fee which would have to be paid to the Appaloosa/Cerberus Group if Delphi ever moved forward on a deal with other suitors, including the deal proposed by Highland Capital. These framework agreements with the Appaloosa/Cerberus Group were clearly intended to chill other potential bids, which unfortunately they did. To suggest that Highland Capital should have worked on a dual track given the $100 million break-up fee that would have to be paid and the substantial costs and expenses that would have to have been incurred with no certainty or even likelihood of any potential deal in the future is completely ludicrous. I am sure that, as an attorney, you would never recommend that such a course of action be followed by Delphi if a similar situation were presented.
     Additionally, we have only requested a meeting with Delphi to discuss alternatives that might be available. We have not requested that confidential information be provided to us at this point. To suggest that you are not willing to even meet with us because of our prior failure to sign your form of non-disclosure agreement, we believe is unjustifiable and inappropriate given the duties of the Board of Directors to Delphi’s stakeholders.

 


 

     Also, as you well know, Highland Capital was willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement agreeing to keep confidential any information it might receive in connection with any due diligence review. What it was not willing to do was sign an agreement that would restrict its ability to obtain the financing necessary or create impediments to its ability to consummate a transaction that it believed would be superior to the one agreed to with the Appaloosa/Cerberus Group. In the course of our prior discussions with Delphi relating to this non-disclosure agreement, it became clear to us that Delphi and its Board were using these negotiations to “back door” the deal protection it was already giving to the Appaloosa/Cerberus Group in the framework agreements.
     Finally, although we continue to have discussions with other stakeholders and members of the statutory committees, we are not currently “working along side” any of these parties. As a party in interest, we will continue to have discussions on issues which are of mutual interest. We believe that these discussions are in the best interests of Delphi and its stakeholders. To attempt to chill these discussions does not promote an expeditious resolution of the issues that have been encountered with respect to the Appaloosa/Cerberus agreements.
     Also, we have seen the recent press announcements about proposed modifications to the Appaloosa/Cerberus Group’s proposal. We do not think that this new proposal adequately addresses the issues that have plagued the consummation of the prior Appaloosa/Cerberus Group proposal. Furthermore, as a large creditor of and interest holder in Delphi, we are concerned this new proposal appears to unjustly benefit the unsecured debtholders at the expense of Delphi’s equity holders. Does it not make sense to consider all possible courses of action at this point? We continue to believe that in its attempts to get any deal done and control all aspects of the process, the Board of Directors is losing sight of the obligations it owes to all stakeholders—not just those that are willing to play the game according to their preconceived notions.
     We remain willing to meet with you..
         
  Very truly yours,


HIGHLAND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, L.P.
