</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;26, 2009, BorgWarner Inc. entered into a Plant Shutdown Agreement with the United
Auto Workers (&#147;UAW&#148;) for its Muncie, Indiana automotive component plant (the &#147;Muncie Plant&#148;). As
previously disclosed<B>, </B>the Muncie Plant will be permanently shutdown on or about April&nbsp;24, 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result of the closure of the Muncie Plant, the Company estimates that approximately $34
million in cash expenditures for settlement of a portion of the UAW retiree health care benefit
obligations are expected to be paid in monthly installments between May&nbsp;2009 and April&nbsp;2010.
Approximately $7&nbsp;million in severance and other employee related costs, recorded prior to 2009, are
expected to be paid between May&nbsp;2009 and December&nbsp;2009. The assessment of all other costs
associated with the plant shutdown is ongoing. The Company will provide an estimate or range of
charges expected to be incurred when a good faith determination can be made. In addition, the
Company expects to record an actuarially-determined curtailment gain related to retiree benefit
obligations as a result of the closure of the facility.
