MAGNA ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT CHANGE

AURORA, ON, Sept. 13, 2010 - Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG, NYSE: MGA)
today announced that Siegfried Wolf, Magna's Co-Chief Executive Officer, has
resigned as a director and officer effective November 15, 2010, in order to
pursue an opportunity with Basic Element and its machinery division OJSC
Russian Machines, the parent company of Russian automotive OEM, GAZ Group.
Magna's Board of Directors has accepted Mr. Wolf's resignation and has
confirmed that Donald Walker will be Magna's sole Chief Executive Officer.

Frank Stronach, Magna's Chairman, stated: "On behalf of the Board, management
and Magna's employees, I would like to express our appreciation for Sigi's
major contribution to Magna's success over the years, including in establishing
our strong presence in Europe. When Oleg Deripaska recently approached us for
permission for Basic Element to make an offer to Sigi, we made it clear that
the decision should ultimately rest with Sigi. Magna's decentralized culture
and operating principles ensure that our success is not dependent on any one
person. We respect the choice Sigi has made and wish him success in pursuing
this new challenge."

Added Frank: "We also recognize the potential benefits that could arise from
this opportunity - Magna stands to further strengthen its relationship with
Basic Element and continue to grow in the recovering Russian automotive market,
while Basic Element gains an experienced manager with extensive full vehicle
assembly expertise who can immediately assist its automotive division in
pursuing its modernization and growth strategy."

"Sigi has done a great job for Magna, particularly in building a strong
European management team and strengthening our relationships with our
European-based customers," added Don Walker. "Notwithstanding this change,
our executive management team, together with the global management teams at
our operating groups and the decentralized management of our operating
divisions remain committed to continuing to deliver strong operating and
financial results with a continued focus on innovation and expanding our
geographic footprint."

Mr. Wolf stated: "I have the utmost respect for Magna and the culture and
principles that Frank Stronach has instilled. While I look forward to this
new challenge with Basic Element, I intend to remain a friend and strong
supporter of Magna and have no doubt that it will continue to succeed under
the guidance of Don and the rest of the executive management team. I also
look forward to potential future opportunities to work together with Magna
in connection with Magna's ongoing expansion strategy in Russia and the
important role that I am sure it will play in the development of the Russian
automotive industry."
