Magna plan of arrangement to be implemented

AURORA, ON, Aug. 31, 2010 - Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG.A, NYSE: MGA)
today announced that, after the close of markets on August 30, 2010, the
Ontario Divisional Court dismissed the appeal of certain dissident minority
shareholders of Magna and upheld the decision of the Ontario Superior Court
approving the previously announced plan of arrangement to eliminate Magna's
dual-class share structure. The decision of the Divisional Court followed a
hearing held on August 26, 2010.

As Magna has been notified that the dissident shareholders do not intend to
appeal the Divisional Court's decision, Magna expects to implement the
arrangement later today. Upon closing, Magna's Class A Subordinate Voting
Shares will be redesignated as 'common shares'. Magna's common shares will
trade under the symbol 'MG' on the Toronto Stock Exchange and will continue
to trade under the symbol 'MGA' on the New York Stock Exchange.

"We are very pleased with the Court's decision and that we are finally in a
position to close the arrangement, which has received strong support from
Magna's shareholders," said Vince Galifi, Executive Vice-President and Chief
Financial Officer. "With the transaction completed, we can refocus on pursuing
our long-term growth strategy, including further investments in both
innovation and emerging markets, in order to continue to serve our customers
around the world."
