RiskMetrics Recommends Magna Shareholders Vote for Proposed Transaction

AURORA, June 14, 2010 -- Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG.A, NYSE:MGA) today announced that RiskMetrics Group, an independent proxy advisor, has recommended to its institutional clients that they vote in favour of a proposed transaction that would eliminate Magna's dual class share structure. The Magna shareholder vote is scheduled to take place at a special meeting on June 28, 2010.

In its report, RiskMetrics wrote:

"In our view, the potential benefits of the one-share-one-vote structure would include, among others, the following:

     
     -   the elimination of all or part of the seemingly long existing 
         trading discount of the Class A shares and the unlocking of 
         shareholder value as the market has already implied;

     -   enhanced accountability of directors as they will be elected or
         removed by public shareholders instead of the current controlling
         shareholder;

     -   greater access to capital as investors previously unwilling or 
         unable to invest in Magna will become interested, resulting in lower 
         cost of capital; and

     -   removal of the controlling impediment to potential takeover interest.

While we acknowledge legitimate corporate governance concerns regarding the Magna transaction, we believe the potential downside risk of missing this unexpected opportunity to get rid of the multiple voting shares even at such a high price, and the potential benefits aforementioned would outweigh the corporate governance concerns and thus be acceptable to shareholders concerned with future long-term growth and value..."

"Whether the expansion of trading multiple may be sustainable over the long run remains to be seen, however we believe that voting down the Magna proposal would probably eliminate any multiple expansion to date and reduce shareholder value significantly."

Vincent J. Galifi, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Magna, said: "We welcome RiskMetrics' recommendation and encourage all of our shareholders to read the proxy circular in its entirety and vote their shares at the special meeting."
