the Plainfield Filing Persons, other than borrowed funds used for working capital purposes in the ordinary course of business, including, in certain cases, through borrowings from margin accounts. A total of approximately $252,000 was paid to acquire such Shares.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     The Reporting Persons acquired their Shares of the Issuer for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons evaluate their investment in the Shares on an ongoing basis. However, other than as set forth below, they have no plans or proposals as of the date of this filing which relate to, or would result in, any of the actions or matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) — (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
     On May 28, 2009, the Issuer and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) before the Honorable Christopher S. Sontchi. The Debtors continue to operate their businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) are being jointly administered under Case No. 09-11786.
     The Reporting Persons have been monitoring the Chapter 11 Cases. To the extent permitted by applicable law, rules and regulations, the Reporting Persons may seek to influence the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases, including, among other things, through (i) direct and/or indirect communications with participants in the Chapter 11 Cases and (ii) direct and/or indirect communications with other persons, including other stockholders of the Company, in each case, for the purpose of attempting to protect and maximize stockholder value.
     The Reporting Persons formed an Ad Hoc Committee of the Issuer’s stockholders (the “Ad Hoc Committee”). This Ad Hoc Committee was formed to evaluate and assert the rights of the Issuer’s equity holders. Notwithstanding the Reporting Persons’ participation in the Ad Hoc Committee, the Reporting Persons have not entered into any agreement or understanding to act together with the other participants of the Ad Hoc Committee for the purposes of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Issuer; therefore, the Reporting Persons disclaim membership in a group for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act with the other participants of the Ad Hoc Committee.
     The Reporting Persons may become more actively involved in the Chapter 11 Cases, with the goal of protecting and maximizing stockholder value. In connection with that pursuit, on March 8, 2010, the Reporting Persons approved a letter to be sent to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) requesting that the Board convene a meeting with the Ad Hoc Committee, and its advisors (the “Letter”). The Letter was sent to the Board on March 8, 2010. A copy of the Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.
     The Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in subparagraphs (a) — (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. However, in connection with their participation in the Ad Hoc Committee, and as may otherwise be appropriate from time to time, the Reporting Persons will consider the feasibility and advisability of various alternative courses of action with respect to their investment in the Issuer.

Board of Directors of Visteon Corporation
c/o Kirkland & Ellis LLP
601 Lexington Avenue
New York, NY 10022
Attn.: Jamie Sprayregen, Esq.
      Re:   In re Visteon Corporation,
Chapter 11 Case No. 09-11786 (Jointly Administered) (CSS)
Dear Members of the Board of Directors:
     We represent an ad hoc committee of equityholders (the “Ad Hoc Equity Committee”), the members of which collectively hold 7.3% of the outstanding common stock of Visteon Corporation (the “Company”).1 In light of the significant and ongoing improvement in the Company’s financial performance and outlook, we believe it is imperative that the Board consult the Company’s owners and their advisors to help develop a revised chapter 11 plan. Given that the Company is in the final phase of its chapter 11 case with a hearing pending shortly to approve its existing disclosure statement, we submit time is of the essence and the Board should consult with our clients immediately.
     On December 17, 2009, the Debtors filed their Joint Plan of Reorganization and related Disclosure Statement. In general, the plan provides for recovery for the Debtors’ secured debt in the form of new secured debt and more than 95% of the equity in the reorganized Debtors. The plan provides no recovery for general unsecured claimholders and, thus, no recovery for holders of the Company’s equity securities.
     The projections in the Debtors’ Disclosure Statement, issued in support of its proposed plan just two weeks before the end of the 2009 fiscal year, present a portrait of the Company’s

fiscal health which appears increasingly inaccurate with each passing month of improved financial performance. On February 26, 2010, the Company filed its quarterly earnings and Annual Report which revealed that the Company produced sales, gross margin, EBITDA and net income for 2009 materially higher than that forecast in the Disclosure Statement. The Company’s January Monthly Operating Report provides evidence that the financial performance continues to improve. Likewise, cash on hand, which had been projected on December 17th to be $777 million actually totaled $1.095 billion at December 31, 2009. The Company’s Chairman and CEO, Donald J. Stebbins, underscored this improved financial outlook in a press release that coincided with the release of the Annual Report:
As vehicle volumes increase and the macro-economic environment improves, we are well-positioned to win and retain business from customers around the world who recognize the benefits of Visteon’s product quality, innovative technologies, and strong global engineering and manufacturing footprint.
     Considering that the financial projections in the Disclosure Statement were prepared with the benefit of having actual results for the first three quarters of 2009, the magnitude of the difference between actual 4th quarter results and those implied by the December 17th forecast is all the more striking. Given current trading prices of the Company’s debt and equity securities, which have increased sharply since February 26th, it appears that our clients are not the only ones who view your proposed Disclosure Statement’s bearish financial projections used to justify a low valuation of the Company with an understandable dose of skepticism. As such, there is no meritorious basis for the Company to exclude its shareholders from significant distributions under a revised chapter 11 plan and the necessary discussions to overhaul the Debtors’ proposed restructuring.
     There is a practical incentive for creditors to argue for a low valuation of the Company in order to receive securities that will actually provide them a windfall well above payment in full of their claims, all at the expense of existing equity. Accordingly, the Board’s fiduciary duty to its shareholders compels it to take immediate action to ensure that your proposed plan and disclosure statement are revised to reflect the new reality of the Company’s financial picture and these chapter 11 cases.
     We hope to work collaboratively with the Board and management to ensure that this happens. The shareholders are the Company’s owners, and we trust the Board and management will act in accordance with the shareholders’ best interests.
     To that end, we request a meeting with the Board, financial advisors, counsel, and the Company’s management no later than March 12, 2010 to discuss appropriate modifications to the Plan. Because time is of the essence, we ask that you please respond to our request for a

AGREEMENT
     WHEREAS, certain of the undersigned are stockholders, direct or beneficial, of Visteon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”); and
     WHEREAS, (A) (i) Davidson Kempner Partners, a New York limited partnership, (ii) Davidson Kempner Institutional Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, (iii) M.H. Davidson & Co., a New York limited partnership, (iv) Davidson Kempner International, Ltd, a British Virgin Islands corporation, (v) Davidson Kempner Distressed Opportunities Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and (vi) Davidson Kempner Distressed Opportunities International Ltd, a Cayman Islands corporation (together, the “Davidson Kempner Party”); and (B) Brigade Leveraged Capital Structures Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Brigade Party”); and (C) (i) Plainfield OC Master Fund Limited, a Cayman Island company, (ii) Plainfield Liquid Strategies Master Fund Limited, a Cayman Islands company, and (iii) Plainfield Special Situations Master Fund II Limited, a Cayman Island company (together, the “Plainfield Party,” and the Davidson Kempner Party, the Brigade Party and the Plainfield Party being collectively referred to as the “Parties” and being individually referred to as a “Party”), wish to enter into this Agreement (this “Agreement”) pertaining to certain matters relating to the Company and its Securities (as defined below).
     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree as follows:
     1. Notice of Trades. Each Party hereby agrees to provide Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP (the “Counsel”), which firm has been retained by the Parties to act as counsel for the ad hoc committee of equity holders of the Company formed by the Parties (the “Ad Hoc Equity Committee”), and the other Parties written notice of any purchases or sales of Securities or acquisition or disposition of beneficial ownership of Securities, in each case, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the day on which such purchase or sale was made. Such written notice shall include a description of the type of Securities purchased or sold, the total number or quantity of the Securities purchased or sold, the price at which such Securities were purchased or sold and, to the extent an amendment to any existing disclosure in a Schedule 13D filed by the Parties would be necessary, such other information as necessary to amend the existing disclosure in such Schedule 13D in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Securities” shall mean the common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company, any options to purchase or sell shares of Common Stock and swaps, synthetics and other derivative securities or instruments, the value of which is solely and directly related to the Common Stock.
     2. Expenses; New Parties. (a) Each of the Davidson Kempner Party, the Brigade Party and the Plainfield Party hereby agrees to pay their pro rata portion of all fees and expenses of the Counsel acting as counsel for the Ad Hoc Equity Committee. Each Party’s pro rata portion of the fees and expenses of the Counsel with respect to any particular calendar month shall be determined based on proportion of (x) the average of such Party’s percentage

ownership of the outstanding Common Stock as of the first day and the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month in relation to (y) the average of the aggregate percentage ownership of all of the Parties of the outstanding Common Stock as of the first day and the last day of such immediately preceding calendar month (as so determined, the “Pro Rata Portion”), and, at all times, the sum of the Pro Rata Portion of the fees and expenses of the Counsel for each Party shall equal 100% of the total outstanding fees and expenses of the Counsel. If any Party shall have terminated its obligations under Sections 1 through 3 of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 hereof, then, notwithstanding any such termination, such terminating Party shall continue to be obligated to pay its Pro Rata Portion of the fees and expenses of the Counsel that were accrued and unpaid through the later of (i) the end of the calendar month on which such termination occurred and (ii) 15 days after the date of such termination. If any person or entity desires to become a member of the Ad Hoc Equity Committee (the “Prospective New Member”), then, as a condition to such membership, the Prospective New Member shall be required to execute a joinder to this Agreement whereby the Prospective New Member shall agree to become subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the obligation to pay its Pro Rata Portion of the fees and expenses of the Counsel beginning as of the first day of the calendar month in which such joinder was executed, in which case the Pro Rata Portion of all of the other Parties shall be adjusted accordingly. If any additional advisors are retained by the Parties to advise the Ad Hoc Equity Committee, then the Parties agree to (x) share the costs associated with the retention of such advisors in a manner that is fair, equitable and similar to the manner in which the fees and expenses of the Counsel are being shared by the Parties pursuant to this Section 2(a) and (y) similarly provide for a mechanism whereby a portion of such costs are allocated fairly and equitably to any Party terminating its obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 7 hereof and any new member admitted to the Ad Hoc Equity Committee.
          (b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(a) above, each Party agrees to be solely responsible for and to discharge all expenses, charges, costs and liabilities incurred by it in connection with this Agreement and any transaction contemplated hereby.
          (c) Any admission of the Prospective New Member to the Ad Hoc Equity Committee and the joinder of such Prospective New Member to this Agreement shall require the approval of each Party to this Agreement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
     3. Communication. Each Party hereby agrees that all filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), press releases and any other stockholder communication, in each case, that relate to the Company or the Ad Hoc Equity Committee shall be coordinated with, and be subject to the prior approval of, the other Parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
     4. Relationship of the Parties. The relationship of the Parties shall be limited to carrying on the activities expressly contemplated by this Agreement. Such relationship shall be construed and deemed to be for the sole and limited purpose of carrying on such activities as described herein. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to authorize any Party to act as an agent for any other Party, or to create a joint venture or partnership. This Agreement shall not restrict or limit any Party’s right to purchase or sell Securities as such Party deems appropriate or advisable in its sole discretion and shall not restrict or limit any Party’s right to vote the Securities in any manner that it deems appropriate or advisable in its sole discretion.
     5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument, which may be sufficiently evidenced by one counterpart.

     6. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the laws of conflict of laws. In the event of any dispute among the Parties hereto arising out of the provisions of this Agreement, the Parties consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in the State of New York. Each Party hereby waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any claim brought by or on behalf of any of the other Parties based upon, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
     7. Termination. Any Party hereto may terminate its obligations under Sections 1 through 3 of this Agreement (except as otherwise set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement) by providing written notice of such termination to the other Parties and the Counsel. Such termination shall be effective immediately upon receipt of such notice by the other Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Sections 4 through 11 of this Agreement and the obligation to pay the Pro Rata Portion of the fees and expenses of the Counsel and the costs associated with any additional advisors retained by the Parties as set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement shall survive any such termination.
