Exhibit 99

FORM 51-102F3
MATERIAL CHANGE REPORT

1. Name and Address of Company
The reporting issuer is Magna International Inc. (the "Corporation" or "Magna"),
a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario and having its
registered office at 337 Magna Drive, Aurora, Ontario, Canada L4G 7K1.

2. Date of Material Change
The material change occurred on May 6, 2010.

3. Press Release
On May 6, 2010, at approximately 6:05 a.m. (Toronto time), a press release
describing the material change was issued by the Corporation and delivered to
the Ontario Securities Commission and the other Canadian securities regulatory
authorities, to the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), to the New York Stock
Exchange and to Canada NewsWire for publication and dissemination through its
Canadian Disclosure, Custom U.S. National, and European Financial Markets
networks.  A copy of the press release is attached to this material change
report.

4. Summary of Material Change
On May 6, 2010, Magna announced that it had entered into a transaction agree-
ment (the "Transaction Agreement") with the Stronach Trust under which holders
of Magna's Class A subordinate voting shares would be given the opportunity to
vote on whether to effect a reorganization of Magna that, if consummated,
would result in the elimination of the Corporation's dual class share capital
structure. The proposed transaction would also amend the consulting, business
development and business services agreements between Magna and certain of its
subsidiaries and Frank Stronach and his affiliated entities; and establish a
new joint venture with the Stronach Trust to jointly continue to pursue oppor-
tunities in the vehicle electrification business.

5. Full Description of Material Change
Description of Transaction and Material Terms
On May 6, 2010, Magna announced that it had entered into the Transaction Agree-
ment with the Stronach Trust and its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, 446
Holdings Inc., under which holders of Magna's Class A subordinate voting shares
would be given the opportunity to vote on whether to effect a reorganization of
Magna that, if consummated, would result in the elimination of the Corporation's
dual class share capital structure. Under the terms of the Transaction Agree-
ment, Magna would purchase for cancellation from the Stronach Trust all of the
726,829 issued and outstanding Class B shares of Magna, and the Stronach Trust
would indirectly receive 9 million Class A subordinate voting shares of Magna
and US$300 million in cash. Based on the closing price of the Class A
subordinate voting shares on the New York Stock Exchange on May 5, 2010,
being the date immediately preceding the announcement date, of US$62.53,
the consideration would have an aggregate value of approximately US$863
million.

As of May 6, 2010, 112,037,893 Class A subordinate voting shares and 726,829
Class B shares were issued and outstanding. Each Class A subordinate voting
share is entitled to one vote per share and each Class B share is entitled to
300 votes per share. As a result, the votes represented by the outstanding
Class A subordinate voting shares are approximately 34% of the total votes
represented by all of Magna's outstanding voting securities. The Stronach Trust,
indirectly, beneficially owns all of the 726,829 issued outstanding Class B
shares, representing approximately 66% of the total votes attached to Magna's
issued and outstanding voting securities. Following the completion of the
transaction, Magna would have approximately 121 million shares outstanding,
each of which would carry one vote per share. The Stronach Trust would
indirectly hold 7.44% of such shares.

The transaction is proposed to be effected by way of a court-approved plan
of arrangement pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). In
addition to court approval, the transaction will be subject to the following
shareholder approvals:
* at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of Class A subordinate
voting shares and Class B shares, voting together as a single class;
* at least a simple majority of the votes cast by "minority" holders of
Class A subordinate voting shares; and
* at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of Class B Shares,
voting separately as a single class
in each case, based on the votes cast by shareholders present in person or
represented by proxy at the special meeting of shareholders to be held to
consider the resolution approving the transaction.

In addition to shareholder and court approvals, the transaction is subject to
approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the finalization of certain definitive
agreements and customary closing conditions, as well as certain amendments to
the consulting agreements through which Frank Stronach and certain of his
affiliated entities provide consulting services to the Magna group of
companies.

Amended Consulting Agreements
The Transaction Agreement also contemplates amendments to the consulting,
business development and business services agreements currently in place
between Magna, and certain of its subsidiaries, and Frank Stronach, and
certain of his affiliated entities, to take effect at the effective time
of the arrangement.

In this regard, annual fees are currently paid to Mr. Stronach and his
affiliated entities in accordance with the terms of: (i) a consulting
agreement dated August 1, 1997, as amended, between Mr. Stronach and Magna
International Europe AG (the "Magna International Europe Consulting
Agreement"); (ii) a business development agreement dated August 1, 1997,
as amended, between Stronach & Co. and Magna International Investments S.A.
(the "Magna Investments Business Development Agreement"); (iii) a business
services agreement dated January 1, 2004, as amended, between Magna and
Stronach Consulting Corp. (the "Magna Business Services Agreement"); and
(iv) a consulting agreement dated August 1, 1994, as amended, between
Stronach & Co. and New Magna Investments N.V. (the "New Magna Investments
Consulting Agreement" and, collectively with such other agreements, the
"Consulting Agreements"). Each of the Consulting Agreements has a one year
term and is renewable on an annual basis. The aggregate of the annual fees
payable in accordance with the Consulting Agreements is currently
determined on the basis of 3% of Magna's Pre-Tax Profits Before Profit-
Sharing (as defined in the Corporate Constitution contained in Magna's
Restated Articles of Incorporation).

At the effective time of the proposed arrangement, each of the Consulting
Agreements would be amended to extend the term of each such agreement from
December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2014 after which time each such agreement
would terminate.

In addition, it is proposed that the fees payable under each of the New
Magna Investments Consulting Agreement, the Magna Investments Business
Development Agreement and the Magna Business Services Agreement would
continue to be determined with reference to a percentage of Magna's Pre-Tax
Profits Before Profit Sharing. However, the aggregate percentage would be
reduced over time as follows:
* 2.75% in 2011
* 2.50% in 2012
* 2.25% in 2012
* 2.00% in 2014.

Vehicle Electrification Joint Venture
The Transaction Agreement also contemplates the reorganization of Magna's
vehicle electrification business in connection with the formation of a
new joint venture between Magna and the Stronach Trust.

The proposed new joint venture would involve the engineering, development
and integration of electric vehicles of any type, the development, testing
and manufacturing of batteries and battery packs for hybrid (H) and electric
vehicles (EV) and all ancillary activities in connection with electric
vehicle technologies. Magna would invest $220 million for a 73% interest.
Magna's investment would include the transfer at fair market value of assets
of Magna's recently established E-Car Systems vehicle electrification and
battery business unit, certain other vehicle electrification assets, and
the balance in cash. Among other operations, Magna E-Car includes the Ford
battery electric vehicle (BEV) integration program. The Stronach Trust would
contribute $80 million in cash for a 27% interest in the joint venture and
would have effective control through the right to appoint three of five
members of the joint venture board, with Magna having the right to appoint
the remaining two members.

Although the joint venture would be free to pursue any type of business
activity connected with electric vehicles, Magna would have an unrestricted
right to engage in competitive activities outside of the joint venture,
and neither party would be obligated to contribute any further funding or
financial assistance beyond its initial capital contribution.

Purpose and Business Reasons for the Transaction
The proposed transaction, if approved by shareholders, has the potential
to unlock significant share value for Magna's shareholders and establish
a strong foundation for the Corporation's continued and long-term success.
Among other things, the proposed transaction is expected to result in
potential benefits including the potential for the reduction or elimin-
ation of the dual class share structure discount associated with the
market price of the Class A subordinate voting shares, more closely
aligning all shareholder interests, and enhancing Magna's potential
business opportunities for the electrification of future vehicles, as
well as the increased marketability and improved liquidity of the Class
A subordinate voting shares (which, following the completion of the
Transaction, will be reclassified as common shares).

Review and Approval Process by the Board and the Special Committee
The execution of the Transaction Agreement was approved by Magna's
Board of Directors after receiving the report of a special committee
(the "Special Committee") of independent directors of Magna comprised
of Messrs. Michael D. Harris, who acted as Chair of the Committee, Donald
Resnick and Louis E. Lataif. The Special Committee received independent
legal advice from Fasken Martineau LLP, independent financial advice
from CIBC World Markets Inc. and independent valuation advice concerning
the E-Car joint venture from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

Based on the report of the Special Committee, the Board of Directors of
Magna has authorized the submission of the resolution in respect of the
proposed transaction to a vote of the Magna shareholders without any
recommendation from the Board as to how shareholders should vote in
respect of the resolution.

Although the Board did not make a recommendation as to how shareholders
of Magna should vote in respect of the resolution, the Special Committee
and the Board have identified several important factors, such as the
potential benefits expected to be realized upon the completion of the
arrangement (described above), which shareholders should consider in
determining how to vote in respect of the proposal. These factors and
a summary of the advice received from the independent advisors, as well
as the detailed transaction terms, the background to the proposal, the
process followed by the independent directors in reviewing the proposal
with the benefit of independent legal and financial advisors, and other
relevant information will be contained in the proxy materials for the
special meeting of shareholders to be called and held to consider the
arrangement. It is anticipated that the management information circular/
proxy statement will be mailed to shareholders in June of this year.

Formal Valuation and Minority Exemptions
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders
in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") regulates certain types of related
party transactions to ensure the protection and fair treatment of minority
security holders. Each of the proposed purchase by Magna for cancellation
of all the issued and outstanding Class B shares pursuant to the arrange-
ment and the formation of the electrification business joint venture by
Magna and the Stronach Trust is a "related party transaction" for the
purposes of MI 61-101.

MI 61-101 provides that in certain circumstances, unless exempted, an
issuer proposing to carry out a related party transaction is required to
obtain a formal valuation for the related party transaction from a
qualified and independent valuator and to provide security holders with
a summary of such valuation. Magna is relying on an exemption from the
formal valuation requirement contained in section 5.5 of MI 61-101 for a
related party transaction which provides that a formal valuation is not
required if neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor
the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar
as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the issuer's market
capitalization (the "market cap exemption").

MI 61-101 also requires that, in addition to any other security holder
approval, unless exempted, a related party transaction must be approved
by at least a simple majority of the votes cast by "minority" shareholders
of each class of affected securities, voting separately as a class. In the
circumstances of the proposed transaction, the "minority" shareholders of
Magna are the holders of Class A subordinate voting shares other than Frank
Stronach, 446 Holdings Inc., the Stronach Trust, any beneficiary of the
Stronach Trust, and any affiliate of any of the foregoing. For greater
certainty, "minority" shareholders will also include participants in Magna's
deferred profit sharing plans whose shares will be voted in accordance
with their instructions. The related party transactions are exempt from
the requirement to obtain minority shareholder approval by application of
the market cap exemption contained in section 5.7 of MI 61-101.

This minority approval requirement was adopted notwithstanding the avail-
ability under MI 61-101 of the market cap exemption in respect of these
related party transactions, and although it is not a requirement under
applicable corporate or securities law. Specifically, the Board, on the
recommendation of the Special Committee, has required that the arrangement
be approved by a simple majority of the votes cast by the minority holders
of Class A subordinate voting shares, voting separately as a class.

Magna announces proposal to eliminate control block and implement single
vote share structure

AURORA, ON, May 6 /CNW/ - Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG.A, NYSE: MGA) today
announced that it has entered into a transaction agreement with the Stronach
Trust under which holders of Magna's Class A subordinate voting shares would
be given the opportunity to decide whether to eliminate the dual class share
capital structure through which Magna's founder, Frank Stronach, and his family
have controlled Magna since the late 1970s. The proposed transaction would
also:
    -   set a termination date and declining fee schedule for the consulting,
        business development and business services contracts Magna has in
        place with Frank Stronach and his affiliated entities; and

    -   establish a joint venture with the Stronach group to jointly continue
        to pursue opportunities in the vehicle electrification business.
The transaction would be effected by way of a court-approved plan of arrange-
ment, and be subject to the approval of a majority of Magna's minority Class
A shareholders.
"We believe the proposed transaction, if approved by shareholders, has the
potential to unlock significant share value for Magna shareholders and
establish a strong foundation for the company's continued and long-term
success", said Don Walker and Siegfried Wolf, Co-Chief Executive Officers
of Magna. "The proposed transaction is intended to reduce or eliminate the
discount at which Magna currently trades relative to its peers, more closely
align all shareholder interests, and enhance Magna's potential business
opportunity for the electrification of future vehicles."
Frank Stronach, Magna's Chairman and founder, commented, "The ability for an
entrepreneur to raise growth capital under a multiple voting share structure
has enabled Canada to create a number of world-class companies, like Magna.
For me, that opportunity occurred in the late 1970s, when I gave up a
sizeable portion of my total equity value as part of a shareholder-approved
reorganization in exchange for the control that enabled me to establish the
principles, culture and entrepreneurial framework that have been the corner-
stone of Magna's impressive growth and success over the years."
"While I am content to maintain the status quo, I understand the potential
benefits of management's proposal, particularly the opportunity to establish
a strong foundation for the future while preserving Magna's unique corporate
ulture. Accordingly, if the Class A shareholders are supportive of the
proposed transaction, the Stronach Trust is prepared to move forward under
the proposed new capital structure. If shareholders prefer instead to retain
the status quo, I am equally confident that Magna will continue to succeed
under its current structure. Regardless of their decision, I have full
confidence in our management and employees, and in the operating principles
that have served Magna so well and made it the great company that it is today."
Investment Community Conference Call
Management will discuss the proposed transaction in greater detail on its
previously scheduled quarterly earnings conference call, which will be held
today at 7:30 am ET. Dial-in and replay instructions are provided at the
end of this press release.
Terms of the Transaction
The transaction agreement is between Magna and the Stronach Trust, which
indirectly owns all of the 726,829 outstanding Class B Shares. Because each
Class B share carries 300 votes, the Stronach Trust has approximately 66%
of Magna's voting rights.
If the arrangement is approved by Class A shareholders and the court, Magna
would purchase for cancellation all 726,829 Class B Shares and the Stronach
Trust would indirectly receive 9 million newly issued Class A Shares and
US$300 million in cash. Based on the closing price of Magna's Class A shares
on the New York Stock Exchange on May 5, 2010 of US$62.53, the transaction
would have a total value of US$863 million.
After the transaction, Magna would have approximately 121 million shares
outstanding, each of which would carry one vote per share. The shares held
indirectly by the Stronach Trust would represent an equal equity ownership
and voting interest of 7.44%. In addition, Magna's Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation would be amended to remove the Class B Shares
from the authorized capital and to make non-substantive consequential changes
to its Articles, including renaming the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares
as Common Shares and eliminating provisions which no longer apply due to the
elimination of the Class B Shares.
Vincent J. Galifi, Magna's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, stated, "Magna has historically traded at a discount to its industry
peers, despite delivering comparable or better operating and financial
performance while maintaining a strong balance sheet. We believe the
proposed transaction could reduce or eliminate that discount, broaden
Magna's appeal to investors who do not -- as a matter of preference or
internal policy -- invest in companies with multiple vote share structures
and establish a strong platform for future success. We also believe the
proposed joint venture is a good way for Magna to pursue an opportunity
that has significant growth potential, but which also bears risk and
uncertainty."
Amended Consulting Contracts
If the arrangement is approved, Magna would amend its existing consulting,
business development and business services contracts with Mr. Stronach and
his affiliated entities, Stronach & Co. and Stronach Consulting Corp. These
contracts are currently renewable on an annual basis. Under the proposed
amendments, these contracts would terminate on December 31, 2014 and fees
payable prior to that date would be reduced from the current 3% of Magna's
Pre-Tax Profits Before Profit Sharing (as defined in the Corporate
Constitution) over a transition and phase-out period as follows:
    -   2.75% in 2011,
    -   2.50% in 2012,
    -   2.25% in 2013, and
    -   2.00% in 2014.
Mr. Stronach's ongoing role and participation on the Board would be
subject to the same nomination and election process that applies to all
other directors. The current intention of the Board is for Mr. Stronach
to continue to serve as Chairman, although he would resign as a member
of the Board's nominating committee.
Vehicle Electrification Joint Venture
The proposed new joint venture would involve the engineering, development
and integration of electric vehicles of any type, the development, testing
and manufacturing of batteries and battery packs for hybrid (H) and
electric vehicles (EV) and all ancillary activities in connection with
electric vehicle technologies. Magna would invest $220 million for a 73%
interest. Magna's contribution would include the assets of Magna's
recently established E-Car Systems vehicle electrification and battery
business unit, certain other vehicle electrification assets, and the
balance in cash. Among other operations, Magna E-Car includes the Ford
battery electric vehicle (BEV) integration program that launches next
year. The Stronach group would invest $80 million in cash for a 27%
interest in the joint venture and would have effective control through
the right to appoint three of five board members, with Magna appointing
the remaining two members.
Although the joint venture would be free to pursue any type of business
activity connected with electric vehicles, Magna would have an
unrestricted right to engage in competitive activities outside of the
joint venture, and neither party would be obligated to provide any
future funding or financial assistance beyond its initial contribution.
Next Steps
The proposed share capital reorganization would be implemented pursuant
to a court-approved plan of arrangement and will require the approval
of a majority of the votes cast by minority Class A shareholders at a
special meeting of shareholders expected to take place in late June or
July of this year. In addition to shareholder and court approvals, the
transaction is subject to approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the
finalization of definitive agreements and customary closing conditions,
as well as certain amendments to the consulting agreements through which
Frank Stronach and certain of his affiliated entities provide consulting
services to the Magna group of companies.
The execution of the transaction agreement was approved by Magna's Board
of Directors after receiving the report of a Special Committee of
independent directors of Magna comprised of Messrs. Michael D. Harris,
who acted as Chair of the Committee, Donald Resnick and Louis E. Lataif.
The Special Committee received independent legal advice from Fasken
Martineau LLP, independent financial advice from CIBC World Markets Inc.
and independent valuation advice concerning the E-Car joint venture from
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
"We believe this proposal responds to the concerns Class A shareholders
have raised about Magna's multiple voting share structure, and that the
decision to proceed or not should be in their hands," said Mr. Harris,
Magna's Lead Director. "If the Class A shareholders do not approve the
transaction, Magna will continue to operate under its current structure.
Whatever the outcome, Magna's current Board and management remain
committed to the culture and operating principles embodied in the
Corporate Constitution and Employee Charter."
While the Board of Directors did not make a recommendation on how
shareholders should vote, various considerations which they believe
shareholders should take into account and a summary of the advice
received from the independent advisors, as well as the detailed
transaction terms, the background to the proposal, the process
followed by the independent directors in reviewing the proposal with
the benefit of independent legal and financial advisors, and other
relevant information will be contained in the proxy materials for the
special meeting of shareholders to be called to consider the plan of
arrangement.

looking statements are based on information currently available to us,
and are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our
experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions
and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe
are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results
and developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is
subject to a number of risks, assumptions and uncertainties, many of
which are beyond our control, and the effects of which can be
difficult to predict, including, without limitation, risks, assumptions
and uncertainties related to: the consummation of the Arrangement,
including, shareholder approval, Court approval, the satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions to complete the transactions contemplated by
the Arrangement, and the termination of the transaction agreements;
future growth prospects for electric vehicles; the market value and
trading price of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares; and other

Release, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-
looking statements. Readers should specifically consider the various
factors which could cause actual events or results to differ materially
from those indicated by our forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise
required by applicable securities laws, we do not intend, nor do we
undertake any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking
statements contained in this Press Release to reflect subsequent
information, events, results or circumstances or otherwise.
