improve competitiveness and drive profitable growth, maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet, and consistently returning excess cash to shareholders,&#148; said Henry D. G. Wallace, Lear&#146;s
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Executive</FONT> Chairman.&nbsp;&#147;The shareholder actions announced today are consistent with this strategy and demonstrate the confidence Lear&#146;s Board has in the Company&#146;s outlook.&#148; </P>
