"We are pleased to complete our acquisition of Delphi Technologies," said

Compelling Strategic and Financial Benefits:
Bringing BorgWarner and Delphi Technologies together is expected to:
- Strengthen BorgWarner's electronics and power electronics products,
capabilities and scale, creating a leader in electrified propulsion
systems that BorgWarner believes is well-positioned to take
advantage of future propulsion migration. Delphi Technologies
brings industry leading power electronics technology and talent,
with an established production, supply and customer base. The
combined company will offer customers a suite of integrated and
standalone offerings of power electronics products (including
high voltage inverters, converters, on-board chargers and battery
management systems) and capabilities (including software, systems
integration and thermal management).
- Enhance BorgWarner's combustion, commercial vehicle and aftermarket
businesses. Delphi Technologies' breadth of combustion propulsion
products complements BorgWarner's innovative portfolio, which is
focused on clean technologies to increase efficiency and performance
of modern combustion vehicles. Adding Delphi Technologies' commercial
vehicle and aftermarket business results in more balance across
light vehicles, commercial vehicles and the aftermarket.
Global aftermarket customers will continue to benefit from an
extensive portfolio of BorgWarner and Delphi Technologies
OE-quality aftermarket parts, services, diagnostic tools and test
equipment. As a brand of BorgWarner, Delphi Technologies Aftermarket
will maintain its brand identity, and customers across the world
will be able to rely on their trusted contacts for sales and
customer service support.
The completion of the transaction follows approval by Delphi Technologies'
shareholders, receipt of required regulatory approvals, the satisfaction of
certain conditions relating to indebtedness of Delphi Technologies, and the
satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. In connection with the
close of this transaction, Delphi Technologies common stock will cease to be
traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
