Van Buren Township, Michigan (ots/PRNewswire)

Visteon
Corporation (NYSE: VC) today announced a financial agreement  with

cash flow and strengthen the operations that directly serve the
automaker.   The details of the financial agreement are being
reported in a Securities  and Exchange Commission filing.

"This financial agreement is the right step forward with Ford and
supports the operations that directly serve our largest customer,"
said Mike  Johnston, president and chief executive officer.  "The
commitments made by  Ford and Visteon under this agreement will
improve Visteon's operating  results and cash flow.  It's a mutually
beneficial agreement that is in the  best interest of both
companies."
Under the financial agreement, Ford agreed to reduced wage
reimbursements from Visteon for hourly Ford-UAW employees assigned to
Visteon facilities; accelerate payment terms to Visteon; and pay for
capital  expenditures at certain Visteon plants in North America.
Visteon agreed to  continue uninterrupted supply to Ford and to
comply with contractual  agreements with Ford and the UAW.
Ford Discussions Continue
On Sept. 9, 2004, Visteon announced it would explore strategic and
structural changes to its US business to achieve a sustainable and
competitive business model.  Such changes would include Ford and
Visteon's  legacy businesses.
The discussions with Ford are progressing positively.  The goal is
to  ensure the long-term competitiveness of Visteon and a continued
supply of  components to Ford, while being mindful of obligations to
the Ford-UAW  employees assigned to Visteon.
"We are spending a great deal of time working with Ford to reach a
conclusion," said  Johnston.  "For some time now, we have had a
concept  that both parties are working toward achieving.  We are
spending our time  working out the details of that concept.  Other
than our conversations  with Ford, we are not in active discussions
with anyone else."
