"We are pleased to complete our acquisition of Delphi Technologies," said 
Frédéric Lissalde, President and CEO, BorgWarner. "Through this combination, 
BorgWarner is  even better positioned with a more comprehensive portfolio of 
industry-leading propulsion products and systems across combustion, hybrid and 
electric vehicles.  We expect that the combination will also strengthen our 
commercial vehicle and aftermarket businesses. We welcome Delphi Technologies' 
colleagues around the world to the BorgWarner team and are excited about the 
opportunities we have together to address market trends towards 
electrification. I am proud of our global workforce, including our integration 
planning teams, for driving the business forward as we managed through the 
pandemic and laying a strong foundation for a seamless integration. I have 
great confidence that we will realize what we believe are significant benefits 
of this combination for our shareholders, customers and suppliers." 

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.
