EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on
Form 40-F/A
amends Magna International Inc. (the “Company”)’s Annual Report on
Form 40-F
for the year ended December 31, 2022, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) on March 31, 2023 (the “Original Filing”). The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to amend the risk factor on page 21 titled “Evolving Counterparty Risk Profile” of the Annual Information Form dated March 30, 2023 filed with the Original Filing with the following corrected version consistent with the equivalent risk factor in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position for the year ended December 31, 2022, included as Exhibit 3 of our Annual Report on
Form 40-F:

| • |  | Evolving Counterparty Risk Profile: Conducting business with newer EV-focused OEMs continues to alter the risk profile of our business and poses incremental risks and challenges compared to our traditional customers, including as a result of: their relatively short operating histories; limited financial, liquidity/capital or other resources; less mature product development and validation processes; uncertain market acceptance of their products/services; and untested business models. These factors may elevate our counterparty risks in dealing with such OEMs, particularly with respect to recovery of: pre-production (including tooling, engineering, and launch) and production receivables; inventory; fixed assets and capitalized pre-production expenditures; as well as other third party obligations related to such items. As at December 31, 2022, our balance sheet exposure related to these factors was approximately $400 million, the majority of which related to Fisker. In some cases, we may hold a minority equity position in such companies which involves a high degree of risk, including those discussed above under “Investments in Mobility and Technology Companies”. The inability of newer EV-focused OEMs to achieve commercial success, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of any such OEM with which we conduct business, could result in us incurring material cash and impairment charges, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing other than as expressly indicated in this Amendment No. 1. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s other SEC filings.

1. | ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM

The Registrant’s Revised Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2022 is attached as Exhibit 1 (the “Annual Information Form”) to this annual report on Form 40-F and is incorporated by reference herein.

2. | AUDITED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Registrant’s consolidated audited financial statements as at and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, including the reports of independent registered public accounting firm, prepared by Deloitte LLP (“Deloitte”) with respect thereto, are included in Exhibit 2 attached to this annual report on Form 40-F and are incorporated by reference herein.

3. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Registrant’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Position for the year ended December 31, 2022 is included in Exhibit 3 attached to this annual report on Form 40-F and is incorporated by reference herein.

4. | WEBSITE INFORMATION

Notwithstanding any reference to the Registrant’s website on the World Wide Web in the Annual Information Form or in the documents attached or incorporated as exhibits hereto, the information contained in the Registrant’s website, or any other site on the World Wide Web referred to in the Registrant’s website, is not a part of this annual report on Form 40-F and, therefore, is not filed with the Commission.

5. | FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Registrant has made in the documents filed as part of this annual report on Form 40-F, and from time to time may otherwise make “forward-looking statements”, within the meaning of Section 21E under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, and related assumptions concerning its operations, economic performance and financial matters. Actual results or events could differ materially from those set forth in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements and the related assumptions due to a variety of factors. Reference is made to the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 2 of the Annual Information Form for a discussion of such factors.

6. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Registrant maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to senior management, including the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to enable them to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure of such information. The Registrant has conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022, under the supervision, and with the participation of, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as this term is defined in the rules adopted by Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission) are effective as of December 31, 2022.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Registrant is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Registrant. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the

policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Registrant’s management used the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission [“COSO”] Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have assessed the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting and concluded that, as at December 31, 2022, such internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, has been audited by Deloitte, the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, who also audited the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. Deloitte expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting. This report precedes the Registrant’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in Exhibit 2 attached to this annual report on Form 40-F.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

7. | AUDIT COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

The Registrant has a separately designated standing audit committee of its Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”), which is currently comprised of the following members of the Registrant’s Board of Directors: Peter G. Bowie (Chair), Jan R. Hauser and Mary Lou Maher.

The Registrant’s Board of Directors has determined that each of Mr. Bowie, the Chair of the Audit Committee, and Ms. Hauser and Ms. Maher, is an “audit committee financial expert” and that each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” and “financially literate”, as such terms are defined in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and Exchange Act Rule 10A-3.

8. | CODE OF ETHICS

The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of its employees, including its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, its Controller and other persons performing similar functions. The full text of such code of ethics is available on the Registrant’s website at www.magna.com under the Leadership & Governance section.

9. | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

As a “foreign private issuer” listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Registrant is required to disclose the significant ways in which its corporate governance practices differ from those to be followed by U.S. domestic issuers under the NYSE listing standards. The Registrant has disclosed on its website (www.magna.com) a Statement of Significant Corporate Governance Differences (NYSE), which discloses such differences.

10. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The table below shows the fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant, Deloitte, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

|  | Fiscal 2022 |  | Fiscal 2021
Type of Services |  | Fees |  |  | % of Total |  | Fees |  |  | % of Total
Audit Fees |  |  | 9,773,000 |  |  | 57% |  |  | 9,453,000 |  |  | 58%
Audit-Related Fees |  |  | 6,589,000 |  |  | 39% |  |  | 5,603,000 |  |  | 35%
Tax Fees |  |  | 685,000 |  |  | 4% |  |  | 999,000 |  |  | 6%
All Other Fees |  |  | 48,000 |  |  | <1% |  |  | 195,000 |  |  | 1%
Total |  |  | 17,095,000 |  |  | 100.00% |  |  | 16,250,000 |  |  | 100.00%

The services comprising the “Audit Fees” category for each of the last two fiscal years were performed by Deloitte to comply with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), including integrated audit of the consolidated financial statements and quarterly reviews. In some cases, fees in this category may include an appropriate allocation of

fees for tax services or accounting consultations, to the extent such services were necessary to comply with the standards of the PCAOB. This category includes fees incurred in connection with the audit of our internal control over financial reporting for purposes of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The services comprising the “Audit-Related Fees” category consists of fees paid in respect of assurance and related services, including such things as due diligence relating to mergers and acquisitions, accounting consultations and audits in connection with acquisitions, services related to statutory audits of certain foreign subsidiaries, attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. Audit-related services actually provided by Deloitte in each of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 consisted of: services related to statutory audits of certain foreign subsidiaries, assurance services and procedures related to attest engagements not required by statute or regulation, and other assurance services.

The services comprising the “Tax Fees” category consists of all fees paid in respect of tax compliance, planning and advisory services performed by Deloitte’s tax professionals, except those services required in order to comply with the standards of the PCAOB which are included under “Audit Services”. The tax services actually provided by Deloitte in each of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 consisted of: domestic and international tax advisory, compliance and research services, as well as transfer pricing advisory services.

The category “All Other Fees” captures fees in respect of all permitted services not falling under any of the previous categories.

In order to protect Deloitte’s independence, the Audit Committee has a process for pre-approving all services provided by, and related fees to be paid to, Deloitte. This process includes reviewing, on a quarterly basis, the details and associated costs of the services expected to be provided by Deloitte. Audit Committee approval is required for any services that have not previously been approved by the Audit Committee. In assessing the impact of any proposed services on auditor independence, the Audit Committee considers whether:

| • |  | the services are consistent with applicable auditor independence rules;

| • |  | the independent auditor is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Registrant’s business, people, culture, accounting systems and risk profile; and

| • |  | the services enhance the Registrant’s ability to manage or control risks and improve audit quality.

None of the services provided by Deloitte in 2022 were treated as exempt from pre-approval pursuant to the de minimis provision of paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
