Magna Responds to OSC Notice of Hearing, Believes Shareholders Should be Permitted to Decide the Outcome of Proposed Transaction

AURORA, Canada, June 16, 2010 -- Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG.A, NYSE: MGA) today responded to the Ontario Securities Commission's June 15, 2010 announcement that it will convene a hearing to determine whether it is in the public interest to prevent Magna's proposed transaction to eliminate the company's dual class share structure from proceeding. The hearing is scheduled for June 23, 2010.

The proposed transaction would be effected by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement, and be subject to the approval of a majority of Magna's minority Class A shareholders. The Magna shareholder vote is scheduled to take place at a special meeting on June 28, 2010.

"We strongly believe our existing disclosure is complete, that Magna's board undertook a proper process, and that our shareholders should not be denied the opportunity to decide the outcome of the proposed transaction," said Vincent J. Galifi, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Magna. "Nonetheless, we will work to address the OSC's concerns though we do not believe any additional information we might disclose will change shareholders' views of the value this transaction can unlock for holders of Magna's Class A shares."

Mr. Galifi added, "Based on all of our discussions to date, the vast majority of Magna's shareholders are having no difficulty in understanding the transaction. Moreover, the market reaction has been very positive, indicating that most shareholders view the transaction as one that enhances value for them. Shareholders who want to see this transaction proceed are encouraged to express their views to the OSC and vote their shares in advance of the hearing," said Mr. Galifi.

Magna has been advised that more than 24% of its shares outstanding have been voted thus far, with over 99% voting to approve the proposed transaction.

Since the announcement of the proposal on May 6, 2010 through the market close on June 15, 2010, Magna's shares have traded up 14.2% on the New York Stock Exchange (on which the greatest volume of trading has occurred), as compared to a loss of 4.3% for the S&P 500 Index over the same period, and a loss of 1.0% in respect of Magna's U.S. comparable companies (consisting of BorgWarner Inc., Johnson Controls Inc., American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc., Lear Corporation, TRW Automotive Holdings Corp., Dana Holding Corp. and ArvinMeritor, Inc.). On the Toronto Stock Exchange, Magna's shares are up 14.1% compared to a gain of 0.3% for the S&P/TSX Index over this period.

On June 13, 2010, RiskMetrics Group, an independent proxy advisor, recommended to its institutional clients that they vote in favour of the proposed transaction.
