Glass Lewis Issues Recommendation on Magna Transaction

Monday, June 14, 2010

AURORA, Canada, June 15, 2010 - Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG.A, NYSE: MGA) today reported that Glass
Lewis & Co, a proxy advisor that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ontario
Teachers' Pension Plan, has recommended to its institutional clients that
they vote against a proposed transaction that would eliminate Magna's dual
class share structure.

In its report, Glass Lewis writes,

"Overall, we agree that the elimination of the Company's dual class share
structure would provide a variety of benefits for minority shareholders and
better align the Company's equity ownership and voting power. We also
recognize that the class B shares carry higher proportional voting rights and
a number of other special features which suggest their value should exceed
that of class A subordinate voting shares."

This report follows the report released yesterday by the independent
proxy advisor RiskMetrics, which recommends that Magna shareholders vote in
favour of the proposal on the basis that the potential benefits outweigh the
costs.

Stated Vincent J. Galifi, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer of Magna: "Unlike the RiskMetrics report which recommends in favour
of the proposal, Glass Lewis made no final comparison of the potential costs
versus benefits, including the anticipated trading multiple expansion, nor
did the report caution investors over the potentially significant loss in
trading value if the transaction does not proceed. Since the announcement of
the proposal on May 6, 2010, despite the significant decline in the broader
equity markets, Magna's shares have traded up 10.7% on the New York Stock
Exchange (on which the greatest volume of trading has occurred) compared to a
loss of 6.6% for the S&P 500 Index over the same period. On the Toronto Stock
Exchange, the shares are up 11.8% compared to a loss of 1.8% for the S&P/TSX
Index."

Mr. Galifi added, "We respect the right of shareholders and their
advisors to debate the merits of the proposed transaction and we encourage
all shareholders to read the proxy circular in its entirety and vote their
shares at the special meeting. We continue to receive strong expressions of
support for the transaction from significant class A shareholders who have
the most at stake."

The Magna shareholder vote is scheduled to take place at a special
meeting on June 28, 2010. Magna's Management Information Circular/Proxy
Statement dated May 31, 2010 has been mailed to shareholders and is available
on Magna's website at www.magna.com/magna/en/investors/ and at
