A Joint Message from the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
We are pleased to invite you to Magna’s upcoming annual meeting of shareholders, which will be held on Monday, May 4, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time). The Notice of Meeting lists the matters to be addressed at the meeting, with detailed information provided in the management proxy circular that follows.
As you read the circular, we hope that you reflect on the following ways in which Magna’s Board and management continued to work diligently in your interest during 2025.
Navigating Complexity with Purpose
The automotive industry continues to evolve in the context of a dynamic geopolitical environment, shifting trade policies and rapid technological change. This complex environment demands execution with agility and purpose — both of which are core to Magna’s DNA. For example, in 2025, changing trade policies risked derailing our business plan by adding up to an estimated $250 million of annualized tariff costs for the company. However, Magna’s teams executed tariff mitigation plans and worked closely with customers to recover or offset the vast majority of the exposure.
In terms of technology, the industry continues to transition across powertrain architectures at different rates in each of our major markets. Customer programs are being recalibrated as OEMs balance electrification commitments with consumer demand realities. Nevertheless, Magna’s diversified product portfolio has been purposefully positioned to serve customers irrespective of where they are in their transition towards electrification.
Delivering on Our Commitments
Despite external uncertainties, Magna delivered strong financial results in 2025, meeting or exceeding our February 2025 Outlook targets across all key financial metrics. We believe this performance validates the company’s strategic direction and the deliberate steps that the Board and management are taking to generate long-term value for shareholders.
Capital Discipline and Shareholder Returns
Our commitment to disciplined capital allocation remains a cornerstone of our strategy. During 2025, we invested $1.3 billion in capital expenditures — well below our 2024 level. This enabled targeted investments in our business, as well as the financial flexibility to return $544 million in dividends and $137 million in share repurchases. For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Board increased Magna’s quarterly dividend to $0.495 per Common Share, representing the 16th consecutive year of dividend growth.
Investing in Growth and Innovation
Magna continues to invest in supporting new business awards, customers, and technologies. Achievements from 2025 include: scaling global production of our mirror-integrated Driver Monitoring System; launching assembly of XPENG electric vehicles at our Graz, Austria, assembly facility; expanding our footprint with a new eDrive facility in Wuhu, China to support multiple Chinese OEMs; and deepening our collaboration with NVIDIA to advance AI-powered active safety solutions.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Our People and Our Values
None of what Magna accomplished would be possible without the efforts of approximately 156,000 employees worldwide. Their commitment to operational excellence, innovation, and our shared values is the foundation of our performance.
In 2025, Magna was once again recognized as one of Ethisphere’s “World’s Most Ethical Companies” and one of Fortune’s “World’s Most Admired Companies.” These awards recognize the culture of fairness, accountability, integrity, and entrepreneurialism that has defined Magna for nearly seven decades.
Board Governance and Renewal
The Board is committed to strong governance, diverse perspectives, and ongoing renewal to maintain alignment among the Board’s capabilities, the needs of our business, and the challenges of our operating environment. The twelve nominees standing for election at the annual meeting bring the critical skills and experience needed to navigate Magna through a dynamic environment.
One of the Board’s current directors — Dr. Indira V. Samarasekera — will reach her tenure limit and retire from the Board at the upcoming annual meeting. Indira has served with distinction as Chair of the Talent Oversight and Compensation Committee and its predecessor committee. We thank Indira for her many important contributions over the past twelve years, including her leadership through a period of significant transformation in our compensation framework and governance practices.
In Closing
Magna’s results in 2025 and the opportunities we see ahead are the product of a clear strategy, focused execution, and an exceptional team. Our February 2026 Outlook reflects confidence in the company’s ability to build on these factors to drive margin improvement while continuing to invest for profitable future growth.
While navigating an uncertain geopolitical and industry environment, we continue to execute our plans from a position of financial strength, operational discipline, and strategic conviction. The Board and management remain committed to driving long-term value creation for shareholders.
We encourage you to participate in Magna’s annual meeting on May 4, 2026. You can submit your vote on the matters detailed in this proxy circular — either by proxy ahead of the meeting, or online during the meeting. We look forward to continuing to engage with you — at the annual meeting and throughout the year — and thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
| | ![]() |

| | Deloitte LLP (“Deloitte”), an Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, was first appointed Magna’s independent auditor on May 8, 2014 and has audited Magna’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and after. Deloitte reports directly to the Audit Committee, which assesses its independence, oversees its work, evaluates its performance and sets its compensation. | |
The Audit Committee believes that Deloitte provides value to Magna’s shareholders through its methodical, independent challenge to Magna’s external financial reporting. Deloitte’s audit approach is based on an audit risk assessment, which is continuously updated throughout the year. Audit risks identified in the risk assessment are addressed through tailored audit procedures that reflect Deloitte’s understanding of Magna-specific factors as well as the general business environment in which Magna operates. The firm’s communications to the Audit Committee demonstrate strong audit quality, professional skepticism and innovation in the audit, including through the effective use of data analytics. The Audit Committee is satisfied that Deloitte’s integrated audit team consists of audit professionals and specialists who are qualified and experienced to provide audit services in the regions in which Magna operates. The firm has demonstrated a commitment to promoting a learning culture within its own team and sharing the firm’s insights, perspectives and best practices with the Audit Committee, the Board, internal audit, as well as management and Magna’s finance teams.

Say on Pay / Executive Compensation
Magna’s executive compensation system seeks to promote effective decision-making through balanced incentives, with the goal of driving achievement of the following critical objectives:
| | | | Driving Execution of and Accountability for Our Strategic and Business Plans<br><br> <br>We seek to reinforce disciplined, effective decision-making by aligning incentives with profitable growth, strong free cash flow generation, and efficient capital allocation that drives the achievement of our business and strategic plans. Short-term incentives are directly tied to business plan metrics that remain largely within the control of Executive Management to promote execution and accountability, while the majority of mid- and long-term incentives are performance-conditioned and vest over multiple years to encourage an ownership mentality. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | Rewarding Superior Performance with Superior Compensation<br><br> <br>We operate a complex business in an intensely competitive, global automotive manufacturing industry that continues to rapidly evolve. In this context, we recognize that downside risks are more likely than upside opportunities. Our approach to executive compensation recognizes this reality and is built on a belief that superior performance should be rewarded with superior compensation outcomes. | |
| | | | Creating Long-Term Shareholder Value<br><br> <br>Magna has a proven history of delivering significant value to shareholders over the long-term. Our executive compensation system is designed to enable resilience by rewarding the maintenance of a strong balance sheet and incenting behaviours that drive value-creation throughout market cycles. | |
| | | | Supporting the Attraction, Motivation and Retention of Top Leadership Talent<br><br> <br>We cannot achieve our strategic and business plans, generate superior performance, or harness the power of One Magna to create long-term value without world-class leadership. Accordingly, our compensation system has been structured to support our ability to attract, motivate, and retain top leadership talent. | |
A summary of the incentives we use to achieve these objectives can be found below:

2025 CEO Compensation
Compensation in 2025 for Magna’s CEO, Seetarama S. Kotagiri, consisted of a below-market base salary, an Adjusted EBIT and Free Cash Flow based STI, as well as MLTIs tied to value-creation on both an absolute basis and relative to industry peers. Mr. Kotagiri’s proportions of his $17.5 million target TDC represented by fixed and performance conditioned compensation, were 7% and 93% respectively.

GDFV means Grant Date Fair Value
In-line with compensation governance best practices, the TOCC engaged its independent compensation advisor to perform a “realized/realizable” compensation analysis of Mr. Kotagiri’s 2025 compensation to assist the TOCC in assessing pay outcomes. Realized/realizable compensation provides an indication of how the different elements of compensation are actually performing as of a point in time — in this case, December 31, 2025. The graph below shows realized and realizable compensation values for 2025, relative to actual TDC, which includes base salary, actual STI earned and target MLTI values.

How To Vote Your Shares
| | Your Vote Is Important | | | Your vote is important. This Circular tells you who can vote, what you will be voting on and how to vote. Please read the information below to ensure your shares are properly voted.<br><br> <br>Since the Meeting is being held as a virtual-only meeting, there are differences in how the Meeting will be conducted compared to an in-person meeting. However, shareholders will have an equal opportunity to participate at the meeting online, regardless of geographic location. This means that shareholders attending online will have the opportunity to ask questions and vote in real-time. All shareholders are encouraged to cast their votes in advance by proxy as described below. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Registered vs. Non-Registered Shareholder | | | How you vote your shares depends on whether you are a registered shareholder or a non-registered shareholder. In either case, there are different ways to vote, but shareholders will not be able to attend the Meeting and vote in person since it will be a virtual-only meeting.<br><br> <br>Registered Shareholder: You are a registered shareholder if you hold one or more share certificates that indicate your name and the number of Magna Common Shares that you own. As a registered shareholder, you will receive a form of proxy from Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation representing the shares you hold. If you are a registered shareholder, refer to “How to Vote — Registered Shareholders”.<br><br> <br>Non-Registered Shareholder: You are a non-registered shareholder if a securities dealer, broker, bank, trust company or other nominee holds your shares for you, or for someone else on your behalf. As a non-registered shareholder, you will most likely receive a Voting Instruction Form from Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation, although in some cases you may receive a form of proxy from the securities dealer, broker, bank, trust company or other nominee holding your shares. If you are a non-registered shareholder, refer to “How to Vote — Non-Registered Shareholders”. | |
| | Proxies Are Being Solicited by Management | | | Management is soliciting your proxy in connection with the matters to be addressed at the Meeting (or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof) to be held at the time set out in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. We will bear all costs incurred in connection with Management’s solicitation of proxies, including the cost of preparing and delivering this Circular and accompanying materials. In addition to the use of mail and email, some of our officers and employees may (for no additional compensation) also directly solicit proxies by phone, fax or other electronic methods. Banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees or fiduciaries will be requested to forward proxy solicitation material to the persons on whose behalf they hold Magna shares and to obtain authorizations for the execution of proxies. These institutions will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses in doing so. | |

Such a form of proxy will likely be stamped by the securities dealer, broker, bank, trust company or other nominee or intermediary holding your shares and be restricted as to the number of shares to which it relates. In this case, you must complete the form of proxy and submit it to Broadridge as described to the left under “How to Vote — Registered Shareholders — Submitting Votes By Proxy”.<br><br> <br>If you choose to vote by proxy, you are giving the person (referred to as a “proxyholder”) or people named on your form of proxy the authority to vote your shares on your behalf at the Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting). |

Board Overview
Board’s Role
Directors are elected by shareholders to act as stewards of the company. The Board is Magna’s highest decision-making body, except to the extent certain rights have been reserved for shareholders under applicable law or Magna’s articles of incorporation or by-laws. Among other things, the Board is responsible for appointing our Chief Executive Officer, overseeing Management, shaping and overseeing implementation of our long-term strategy, satisfying itself that material risks are being managed appropriately, reviewing and approving financial statements, establishing our systems of corporate governance and executive compensation, as well as overseeing our corporate culture. In fulfilling their duties, directors are required under applicable law to act in the best interests of the company.
2026 Nomination Process
All twelve nominees for election at the Meeting were elected at our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders and have been nominated for re-election based on factors discussed below. One current director who was elected at the 2025 annual meeting, Dr. Indira V. Samarasekera, has reached her term limit and will retire from the Board at the Meeting.

| | Retiring | | | Dr. Indira V. Samarasekera | | |
In recommending to the Board the twelve nominees, the GNSC considered a number of factors including:
•
nominees’ respective skills, expertise, and experience in relation to Magna’s business and corporate strategy;
•
the diversity of backgrounds and experiences that would be represented across the Board if all nominees are elected;
•
feedback from the annual Board effectiveness evaluation process, which incorporates both a self-evaluation and a peer review process; and
•
individual voting results from the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders.
The GNSC and the Board are confident that each of the twelve nominees:
•

Nominees’ Meeting Attendance
Independent Directors are expected to attend all Board meetings, as well as all meetings of standing Committees on which they serve, and are welcome to attend any other Committee meetings. However, we recognize that scheduling conflicts are unavoidable from time to time, particularly in the first year of a director’s tenure, and also where meetings are called on short notice. Our Board Charter requires Directors to attend a minimum of 75% of regularly scheduled Board and applicable standing Committee meetings, except where an absence is due to medical or other valid reason. Magna’s Chief Executive Officer does not serve as a member of any Board Committee, but typically attends most or all Committee meetings. The Board Chair serves as a member of the Technology Committee, which is a committee of all the Independent Directors. Although the Board Chair does not serve on any other standing committees, he typically attends most or all committee meetings. The twelve nominees who served on the Board during 2025 achieved 100% attendance at all Board and applicable Committee meetings as set forth below.

Nominees’ Equity Ownership
We believe it is important that each director be economically aligned with shareholders. We try to achieve such alignment in two principal ways:
•
Equity Maintenance Requirement: Each director-at-large is required to hold a minimum of $825,000 of Magna Common Shares and/or Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) within five years of joining the Board. Each Committee Chair is required to hold a minimum of $900,000 of Magna Common Shares and/or DSUs within five years of joining the Board. The Board Chair is required to hold a minimum of $1,500,000 of Magna Common Shares and/or DSUs within three years of becoming Chair. In assessing compliance with these requirements, we consider the value of any Magna Common Shares held by a director, together with the aggregate value of deferred compensation in the form of retainers and fees, excluding accrued dividend equivalents and without reference to increases or decreases in the market value of such compensation.
•
Mandatory Deferral of Compensation: Until the equity maintenance requirement has been achieved, a minimum of 60% of a director’s annual retainer is paid in the form of DSUs. Once a director has achieved the minimum equity maintenance requirement, a minimum of 40% is automatically deferred in the form of DSUs, subject to the director’s election to defer a greater amount. DSUs are notional units, the value of which is tied to the market value of our Common Shares. The value represented by a director’s DSUs can only be realized following their departure from the Board and remains “at risk” until that time.
Taking into account the five-year period in which to accumulate the minimum required value of Common Shares and DSUs, each of Magna’s nominees complies with or exceeds the minimum equity maintenance requirement.

Director Compensation
Objectives of Director Compensation
We have structured director compensation with the aim of attracting and retaining skilled directors and aligning their interests with the interests of our long-term shareholders. To accomplish these objectives, we believe that such compensation must be competitive with that paid by our S&P/TSX60 peer companies, as well as the global automotive and industrial peers in our executive compensation peer group. Additionally, we believe that a significant portion of such compensation must be deferred until departure from the Board, thus tying the redemption value to the market value of our Common Shares and placing it “at risk” to align the interests of directors with those of shareholders. For purposes of director compensation, non-independent, non-executive directors are compensated on the same basis as Independent Directors. Magna’s Chief Executive Officer, the sole member of Management on the Board, does not receive any incremental compensation for such Board service.
Compensation Structure
The current schedule of retainers and fees payable to Independent Directors, in effect and unchanged since January 1, 2023, is set forth below.
| | Retainer / Fee Type | | | Amount<br> <br> () | | | 3x Equity Maintenance<br> <br> () | | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Comprehensive Board Chair Annual Retainer | | | | 500,000 | | | | | 1,500,000 | | |
| | Comprehensive Committee Chair Annual Retainer | | | | 300,000 | | | | | 900,000 | | |
| | Comprehensive Director-At-Large Annual Retainer | | | | 275,000 | | | | | 825,000 | | |
| | Per Meeting Fee (applicable solely to meetings in excess of 25 meetings in aggregate) | | | 1,000 | | |||||||
| | Travel Time Fee (half day/full day) | | | 2,000 / 4,000 | | |||||||
| | Special Committee Chair Retainer | | | To be set on Committee formation | |
All values are in US Dollars.
Each director is entitled to a period of five years from the date of election or appointment to the Board in which to meet the equity maintenance requirements as reflected in the table above, and an additional three years to achieve compliance with future increases (if any) in equity maintenance holdings. In assessing compliance with these requirements, we consider the value of any Magna Common Shares held by a director, together with the aggregate value of deferred compensation in the form of retainers and fees, excluding accrued dividend equivalents and without reference to increases or decreases in the market value of such compensation.
The GNSC has responsibility for reviewing director compensation, with the most recent such review completed in 2022.

Notes:
1
Consists of all retainers and fees paid to the director in cash. NIL indicates that 100% of the retainers and fees earned were deferred in the form of DSUs.
2
Consists of retainers and fees deferred in the form of DSUs pursuant to the DSU Plan (as defined under “Deferred Share Units”).
Deferred Share Units
Mandatory Deferral Creates Alignment With Shareholders
We maintain a Non-Employee Director Share-Based Compensation Plan (the “DSU Plan”), which governs the retainers and fees that are deferred in the form of DSUs. In addition to the 60% of the annual retainer that is automatically deferred, each Independent Director may annually elect to defer up to 100% (in increments of 10%) of their total annual cash compensation from Magna (including Board and Committee retainers, meeting attendance fees, work and travel day payments and written resolution fees). Once the minimum equity maintenance requirement has been met, 40% of the annual retainer is automatically deferred in the form of DSUs, subject to a director’s election to defer a greater proportion. All DSUs are fully vested on the date allocated to a director under the DSU Plan. Amounts deferred under the DSU Plan cannot be redeemed until a director’s departure from the Board. The mandatory deferral aims to align the interests of Independent Directors with those of shareholders.
DSU Value is “At Risk”
DSUs are notional stock units. The value of a DSU increases or decreases in relation to the NYSE market price of one Magna Common Share, and dividend equivalents are credited in the form of additional DSUs at the same times and in the same amounts as dividends that are declared and paid on our Common Shares. Upon a director’s departure from the Board, we deliver Magna Common Shares in satisfaction of the after-tax redemption value of the DSUs.

Trading Blackouts and Restriction on Hedging Magna Securities
Trading Blackouts
Directors are subject to the terms of our Insider Trading and Reporting Policy and Code of Conduct & Ethics, both of which restrict directors from trading in Magna securities while they have knowledge of material, non-public information. One way in which we enforce trading restrictions is by imposing trading “blackouts” on directors for specified periods prior to the release of our financial statements and as required in connection with material acquisitions, divestitures or other transactions. The regular quarterly trading blackouts commence at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of each fiscal quarter and end 48 hours after the public release of our quarterly financial statements. Special trading blackouts related to material transactions extend to 48 hours after the public disclosure of the material transaction or other conclusion of the transaction.
Anti-Hedging Restrictions
Directors are not permitted to engage in activities that would enable them to improperly profit from changes in our stock price or reduce their economic exposure to a decrease in our stock price. Prohibited activities include “puts”, “collars”, equity swaps, hedges, derivative transactions and any transaction aimed at limiting a director’s exposure to a loss or risk of loss in the value of the Magna securities that they hold.

![[MISSING IMAGE: pc_auditfee-bw.jpg]](pc_auditfee-bw.jpg)
Deloitte, an Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, was first appointed Magna’s independent auditor on May 8, 2014 and has audited Magna’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and after. Deloitte reports directly to the Audit Committee, which assesses its independence, oversees its work, evaluates its performance and sets its compensation.
The Audit Committee believes that Deloitte provides value to Magna’s shareholders through its methodical, independent challenge to Magna’s external financial reporting. Deloitte’s audit approach is based on an audit risk assessment, which is continuously updated throughout the year. Audit risks identified in the risk assessment are addressed through tailored audit procedures that reflect Deloitte’s understanding of Magna-specific factors as well as the general business environment in which Magna operates. The firm’s communications to the Audit Committee demonstrate strong audit quality, professional skepticism and innovation in the audit, including through the effective use of data analytics. The Audit Committee is satisfied that Deloitte’s integrated audit team consists of audit professionals and specialists who are qualified and experienced to provide audit services in the regions in which Magna operates. The firm has demonstrated a commitment to promoting a learning culture within its own team and sharing the firm’s insights, perspectives and best practices with the Audit Committee, the Board, internal audit, as well as management and Magna’s finance teams.
Deloitte’s Independence
Deloitte is independent with respect to the company within the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and within the meaning of the rules of professional conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario. 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 quarterly review of any incremental services proposed to be provided by Deloitte, together with associated costs. Audit Committee approval is required for any services that have not previously been pre-approved. 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 familiarity with Magna’s business, people, culture, accounting systems and risk profile; and
•
the services enhance Magna’s ability to manage or control risks and improve audit quality.
The Audit Committee has also established a process to pre-approve the future hiring (if any) of current and former partners and employees of Deloitte who were engaged on Magna’s account. There were no such hirings in 2025.

Compensation and Performance Report
March 26, 2026
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
As members of the Talent Oversight and Compensation Committee (the “TOCC”), we are pleased to share with you in this CD&A our approach to executive compensation at Magna, including 2025 compensation decisions and pay outcomes in the context of the company’s overall performance.
Magna’s Approach to Executive Compensation
Magna’s executive compensation system is intended to promote the company’s vision and strategy by: driving execution and accountability for strategic and business plans; rewarding superior performance with superior compensation; creating long-term shareholder value; and supporting the attraction and retention of top leadership talent. The balanced incentives structured to achieve these objectives necessarily seek to link executive pay and company performance, in alignment with the interests of shareholders.
For 2025, Magna’s executive compensation system consisted of the following elements, the majority of which are “at risk” compensation:
![[MISSING IMAGE: fc_executiveelements-bw.jpg]](fc_executiveelements-bw.jpg)
As discussed in our report to you last year, Magna significantly redesigned its executive compensation system beginning in 2024. In 2025, there was one important refinement to better align one of the system’s two STI metrics with how Executive Management measures the financial performance of the company. This change involved replacing the legacy Pre-Tax Profit metric with Adjusted EBIT, a more transparent measure which is widely understood and accepted by shareholders, to assess the company’s underlying financial performance and trends.
A detailed review of all elements within Magna’s executive compensation system follows in Section C of this CD&A.
2025 Financial and Operating Performance
Magna delivered strong financial results in 2025, while operating in an environment marked by continued industry, geopolitical and trade challenges. Sales were down compared to 2024, due in part to lower production volumes in the Company’s two largest markets – North America and Europe. In addition, despite Executive Management’s successful mitigation of the vast majority of Magna’s direct tariff exposure, the company nevertheless absorbed unmitigated tariff costs and navigated continuing uncertainty as to the pace of EV adoption in North America. In spite of these headwinds, Magna achieved growth in Adjusted EBIT and solid Adjusted EBIT margin improvement on the strength of continued productivity and efficiency improvements, and demonstrated efficient capital allocation by reducing capital expenditures and paying down debt during the year.

Key highlights of Magna’s 2025 financial and operating performance included:
| | Total Sales<br> <br><br> $42.0B<br> <br><br> (▼2% YoY) | | | Adjusted Diluted EPS<br> <br><br> $5.73<br> <br><br> (▲6% YoY) | | | Adjusted EBIT / Adjusted EBIT Margin <br> <br><br> $2.4B / 5.6%<br> <br><br> (▲2% YoY / ▲20bps YoY) | |

| | Return of Capital to Shareholders<br> <br><br> $681M | | | Total Return – NYSE<br> <br><br> 34% | | | Total Return – TSX<br> <br><br> 28% | |
In addition, Magna achieved a number of other successes, including:
•
winning substantial additional business across the portfolio in line with, or exceeding, our historical trend;
•
earning a record 151 customer awards for quality and operating performance; and
•
being named to Fortune’s “World’s Most Admired Companies” for the 9th consecutive year.
2025 Compensation Decisions
The TOCC monitors Magna’s executive compensation system on a quarterly basis to assess performance and projected compensation outcomes relative to established targets. In addition to the change from a Pre-Tax Profit STI to an Adjusted EBIT STI, which we described to you above, the TOCC’s key decisions in 2025 related to:
•
Performance Cash: In assessing final 2025 Adjusted EBIT STI payouts, the TOCC considered: the dynamic tariff environment at the time the 2025 business plan was approved, including rapidly changing tariff rates and policies outside management’s control; the Company’s actual gross tariff exposure in the year relative to business plan assumptions; management’s efforts in mitigating or offsetting a significant majority of such tariff exposures; the impact of unmitigated tariff costs on Adjusted EBIT; management’s achievements during 2025 with respect to reuse of capital, operational excellence initiatives, and resolution of commercial items; as well as other factors. Following a detailed review, and consideration of the foregoing factors, the TOCC approved a $70 million increase to Adjusted EBIT for compensation purposes and determined the 2025 Adjusted EBIT STI payouts on this basis which resulted in $1.3 million of aggregate incremental compensation to all five NEOs. The Committee was satisfied that this adjustment was reasonable in light of management’s efforts to deliver the company’s strong performance and the specific factors above.
•
Performance Equity:
•
In February 2025, the TOCC reviewed and approved the payout levels for the PSUs granted in 2022, with a performance period which ran from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024. Consistent with prior years, the TOCC assessed ROIC for purposes of the Adjusted ROIC PSU LTI and made an adjustment to account for the company’s long-term investments related to an industry-wide investment “supercycle” related to vehicle electrification, assisted driving and vehicle autonomy technologies, new mobility and other areas driven by structural changes in the automotive and mobility industry that could not generate returns during the performance period.
•
Additionally, to better align pay and performance in the interest of all shareholders, the TOCC eliminated a ROIC PSU re-test feature for grants made in 2025 and onwards. The re-test feature could have enabled a partial payout of ROIC PSUs even in certain circumstances where the minimum ROIC performance threshold had not been met.
•
Compensation for Philip Fracassa: To support the attraction, retention and motivation of Magna’s new CFO, Philip Fracassa, the TOCC reviewed and approved proposed terms establishing Mr. Fracassa’s 2025 in-year compensation. Such compensation consisted of an annual target TDC set at $4,500,000 as well as compensation to replace that which he forfeited in order to join Magna. For 2026, Mr. Fracassa’s compensation structure is consistent with Magna’s executive compensation system. A summary of all compensation earned by Mr. Fracassa in 2025 can be found in the Summary Compensation Table that follows this CD&A on page 54.

Stock Option Plans: In March 2025, the TOCC reviewed and recommended approval of Magna’s 2025 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2025 Stock Option Plan”), as the company’s prior plan (the “2009 Plan”) no longer had sufficient capacity for future option grants. To promote uniform administration of all outstanding and future options, the TOCC also amended the 2009 Plan to prohibit any further grants under that plan, and to align its eligibility and retirement terms with those included in the 2025 Stock Option Plan. Additional details about the 2025 Stock Option Plan and the 2009 Plan can be found in the Incentive Plans and Awards section beginning on page 56.
2025 CEO Compensation
Taking into account 2025 performance and all the factors discussed above, total compensation for our CEO, Swamy Kotagiri, was $19.5 million, including $8.0 million in cash compensation and $11.5 million in medium/long-term performance equity at target/grant value.

GDFV means Grant Date Fair Value
In assessing pay outcomes, the TOCC annually considers a three-year “realized/realizable” CEO compensation analysis. Such an analysis provides an indication of how the different elements of compensation are actually performing as of specific points in time — in this case, December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025. The graph below shows realized/realizable compensation values relative to actual TDC, which includes base salary, actual STIs earned and point in time MLTI values.
2023 – 2025 CEO Realized/Realizable Compensation
![[MISSING IMAGE: bc_realize-bw.jpg]](bc_realize-bw.jpg)
Overall, the above analysis demonstrates an executive compensation program that is sensitive to operating performance and the shareholder experience. Realized/realizable values for both Performance Cash (Adjusted EBIT STI and Free Cash Flow STI) and Performance Equity (ROIC PSUs, rTSR PSUs, and stock options) were roughly aligned with target performance levels in

2023 and 2024, and exceeded targets on Magna’s strong performance in 2025. As Performance Equity consists of more market-driven elements of compensation than Performance Cash, realized/realizable values largely reflect the broader Magna shareholder experience at the specific points in time assessed above.
We are satisfied that realized/realizable compensation over the three-year lookback period represents a reasonable outcome in light of actual performance at the points in time assessed. Additionally, the realized/realizable analysis, demonstrates that the changes made to the executive compensation system in 2024 and 2025 have further strengthened the link between company performance and executive compensation.
Pay for Performance
The Say on Pay vote at the Meeting represents your opportunity to express your view as to the company’s overall approach to executive compensation. We continue to believe that expression of shareholder views on the approach to compensation should be grounded in an analysis of the relationship between pay and performance, relative to applicable peers. One way to assess the relationship between pay and performance is depicted in the graph below, which shows three-year TSR performance against three-year average CEO compensation for Magna relative to the companies in its executive compensation peer group.
![[MISSING IMAGE: lc_compensation-pn.jpg]](lc_compensation-pn.jpg)
The diagonal line from the bottom left to top right of the graph represents perfect alignment between CEO compensation and TSR performance, with the dashed-lines above and below it representing a range of reasonable alignment. Overall, the pay for performance graph indicates that compensation for Mr. Kotagiri is closely aligned with Magna’s TSR performance for the three years ended December 31, 2025. For transparency, the “Magna \(Amort. TFG\)” datapoint above includes the prorated grant date fair value of Mr. Kotagiri’s TFG PSU award amortized over its five-year performance period. As previously disclosed, the 2022 TFG PSU awards were a heavily performance-conditioned one-time grant, serving as a stretch opportunity for Executive Management to drive the attainment of four rigorous stock price hurdles, the first of which is $85.61. The TFG PSUs currently have no realizable value, and will earn no payout unless Magna’s NYSE share price exceeds the first hurdle by the conclusion of the performance period on December 31, 2027.
In Closing
At Magna’s May 4, 2026, annual meeting, you will have the opportunity to express your views on the company’s approach to executive compensation through the advisory Say on Pay vote. In casting your vote, we trust that you will carefully consider the perspectives we have shared in this CD&A and we look forward to your continued engagement in executive compensation matters through the Say on Pay vote.

A. Our Approach to Executive Compensation
Magna is one of the world’s largest automotive suppliers and a trusted partner to automakers in the industry’s most critical markets — North America, Europe, and China. With a global team of approximately 156,000 employees and footprint spanning 28 countries, we bring unmatched scale, trusted reliability, and proven execution. Backed by nearly seven decades of experience, we combine deep manufacturing expertise with innovative vehicle systems to deliver performance, safety, and quality.
Magna’s executive compensation system is intended to promote realization of the company’s vision and strategy using compensation as a tool to deliver the following critical objectives:
| | | | Driving Execution of and Accountability for Our Strategic and Business Plans<br><br> <br>We seek to reinforce disciplined, effective decision-making by aligning incentives with profitable growth, strong free cash flow generation, and efficient capital allocation that drives the achievement of our business and strategic plans. Short-term incentives are directly tied to business plan metrics that remain largely within the control of Executive Management to promote execution and accountability, while the majority of mid- and long-term incentives are performance-conditioned and vest over multiple years to encourage an ownership mentality. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | Rewarding Superior Performance with Superior Compensation<br><br> <br>We operate a complex business in an intensely competitive, global automotive manufacturing industry that continues to rapidly evolve. In this context, we recognize that downside risks are more likely than upside opportunities. Our approach to executive compensation recognizes this reality and is built on a belief that superior performance should be rewarded with superior compensation outcomes. | |
| | | | Creating Long-Term Shareholder Value<br><br> <br>Magna has a proven history of delivering significant value to shareholders over the long-term. Our executive compensation system is designed to enable resilience by rewarding the maintenance of a strong balance sheet and incenting behaviours that drive value-creation throughout market cycles. | |
| | | | Supporting the Attraction, Motivation and Retention of Top Leadership Talent<br><br> <br>We cannot achieve our strategic and business plans, generate superior performance, or harness the power of One Magna to create long-term value without world-class leadership. Accordingly, our compensation system has been structured to support our ability to attract, motivate, and retain top leadership talent. | |

B. Compensation Governance
Role of the Board and TOCC
The Board oversees our system of executive compensation and satisfies itself on behalf of shareholders that our system is effective in achieving the intended objectives and performance outcomes. The Board also annually assesses the company’s performance and that of the Chief Executive Officer in relation to predefined objectives approved by the Board.
The Board has delegated to the TOCC responsibility for annually reviewing, considering and making recommendations related to executive compensation matters, including the application of our executive compensation program to the NEOs discussed in this CD&A, as well as other members of Executive Management.
While some NEOs, such as the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief People Officer, are usually invited to participate in TOCC meetings, final compensation decisions affecting NEOs are typically made by the TOCC without any NEOs present in order to ensure the independence of the decision-making process.
Role of the Chief Executive Officer
The TOCC looks to the Chief Executive Officer to assess the performance, and make recommendations regarding target compensation levels, of his direct reports. Such performance assessments are considered by the TOCC when setting target total direct compensation for such executives. The TOCC also looks to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief People Officer to put forward their recommendation regarding MLTI awards for other proposed recipients.
Independent Advisors
In reviewing, considering and making recommendations on executive compensation matters, the TOCC considers the advice of the Board’s independent advisors, Hugessen and Fasken, including through in camera sessions as part of each of the meetings they attend.
Hugessen has acted as the Board’s compensation advisor since December 2012 and only provides board-side advice. One or more representatives of Hugessen are invited to attend TOCC meetings at which executive compensation matters are discussed. On executive compensation matters, Hugessen reports directly to and seeks its instructions directly from the TOCC, communicating as needed directly with the TOCC Chair between meetings.
The scope of Hugessen’s services generally includes advice related to executive and director compensation program structure and design, benchmarking data and observations, as well as pay for performance analytics. In addition, Hugessen provides contextual information relating to compensation best practices and emerging trends. The specific services provided by Hugessen in 2025 included:
•
advice regarding the changes to our executive compensation system, including the change from Pre-Tax Profit to Adjusted EBIT as an STI metric;
•
executive compensation and rTSR peer group review;
•
NEO compensation benchmarking;
•
consideration of and recommendations related to 2025 target compensation levels;
•
advice related to 2025 STI and MLTI grants;
•
review of the performance and payout of the 2022 Adjusted ROIC and rTSR PSUs redeemed in February 2025;
•
general advice and analysis of Magna’s NEO compensation outcomes, including realized/realizable and pay for performance considerations; and

In connection with executive compensation decisions, the TOCC will normally consider a wide range of factors, including:
•
alignment of management, employee and shareholder interests to create long-term shareholder value;
•
our financial, operating, stock price, ROIC, TSR and rTSR performance;
•
long-term strategic objectives;
•
compensation risk considerations;
•
compensation benchmarking data;
•
pay for performance alignment data;
•
individual executive performance;
•
performance of prior MLTI grants;
•
the recommendations of the CEO with respect to his direct reports;
•
the advice and recommendations of the TOCC’s independent advisors;
•
accounting impact and potential dilution to shareholders from equity compensation;
•
feedback received from shareholders and other stakeholders;
•
information relating to general executive compensation trends and developments; and
•
retention, succession and other relevant considerations.
In making recommendations to the Board, the TOCC does not rely solely on any one of the above or other factors.
Compensation Setting Process

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | | | | | CD&A | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The compensation-setting process under the framework involves the following steps:
1.
Review Framework
Executive Management, the TOCC, and their advisors review the executive compensation framework in light of the company’s updated strategic and business plans to assess whether any structural changes are required. Review of the framework includes consideration of the STI and PSU performance metrics to be applied and their respective weightings, as well as overall pay mix across Base Salaries, STIs and MLTIs. Typically, this is completed between early November of one compensation year and the end of January of the next year.
2.
Set Pay
Executive Management reviews with the TOCC and its advisors the proposed performance target(s) for each metric in the compensation framework, based on the company’s updated business plan. Factors potentially impacting achievement of the business plan, and thus target levels of performance, are considered to assist the TOCC in understanding potential payout scenarios for the year. Additionally, the CEO proposes target TDC levels and pay mix for members of Executive Management (excluding himself). The TOCC considers the proposals regarding target performance and TDC, makes its determinations in camera, and presents its recommendations to the Board for approval and award. Board decisions establishing targets, awarding STIs and granting MLTIs are also made in camera. Typically, these steps are completed between early January and mid-March each year.
3.
Monitor Performance
Executive Management typically presents quarterly performance updates regarding STIs granted in respect of the current year to support the TOCC’s assessment of performance and compensation outcomes relative to expectations for the year.
4.
Prepare for Next Cycle
During the year, Executive Management and Hugessen review the company’s executive compensation and rTSR peer groups for potential changes based on established screening criteria. Recommended peer group changes, if any, are presented to the TOCC for its consideration and approval, typically by August of each year. Based on the approved peer group, Hugessen updates NEO compensation benchmarking to provide a reference for the following year’s compensation cycle.
5.
Review & Approve Outcomes
Following the end of a compensation year, Executive Management presents preliminary STI payout outcomes relative to the performance targets approved at the time STIs were awarded. Performance levels of in-flight PSUs are also presented for reference, with specific emphasis on maturing PSUs for which the performance period just completed. To the extent required, the TOCC may apply measured discretion to ensure equitable compensation outcomes in light of a range of internal and external factors. Final STI payout outcomes and maturing PSU payouts are typically presented for TOCC and Board approval in mid-February, with such approvals occurring in camera.
Executive Compensation Peer Group
In assessing target TDC levels for members of Executive Management, the TOCC considers benchmarking data from Magna’s executive compensation peer group. Such data provides the TOCC with a basis for determining Magna’s pay for performance, including through “back-testing” of realizable pay. It also serves as a market reference point in setting compensation within a reasonable competitive range.
Magna’s executive compensation peer group currently consists of 14 companies from a broad comparator universe composed primarily of North American publicly traded companies that are direct automotive industry peers, as well as capital goods and technology hardware/equipment comparables. The broad universe of comparator companies was identified and screened by Hugessen based on a range of 1/5x to 5x Magna’s Total Revenue and Total Enterprise Value (“TEV”).

Magna’s executive compensation peer group is reviewed annually. For 2025, the TOCC revised the executive compensation peer group to add Linamar Corporation and Cummins Inc., and to remove Caterpillar Inc., Deere & Company and Honeywell International Inc. The refreshed peer group is more representative of Magna’s current size based on TEV and market capitalization, includes a more tailored sub-set of capital goods peers based on size, and increases the weighting of automotive peers.
| | Automotive | | | Capital Goods | | | Technology Hardware & Equipment | |

| | Linamar Corporation | | | Johnson Controls Inc. | | | | |
| | The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company | | | Parker-Hannifin Corporation | | | | |
rTSR Peer Group
The TOCC also uses a peer group against which performance is assessed for purposes of the rTSR PSUs. The rTSR peer group consists of 10 suppliers selected from a comparator universe of publicly traded North American companies in the automotive industry. The selected peers are considered to be Magna’s most direct competitors for business and investor capital, based on factors such as coverage by equity research analysts, as well as inclusion in industry indices and in the peer groups of peer companies. The rTSR peer group also contains the following composite peers and indices, each of which counts as the equivalent of a single company within the peer group:
•
a composite peer consisting of two publicly traded, North American automobile OEMs;
•
a composite peer consisting of three publicly traded, European automotive suppliers; and
•
the S&P 500 index.
The rTSR peer group is also reviewed annually, with no changes made in 2025, and consists of the following:
| | rTSR Peer Group | | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Adient plc | | | Gentex Corp. | |
| | American Axle Manufacturing & Holdings Inc. | | | Lear Corp. | |
| | Autoliv, Inc. | | | Linamar Corp. | |

Fixed Compensation / Base Salaries
During 2025, NEO base salaries were as follows:
| | Name | | | Base Salary<br> <br> () | | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Seetarama S. Kotagiri | | | | 1,250,000 | | |
| | Philip D. Fracassa(1) | | | | 750,000 | | |

| | Eric J. Wilds | | | | 750,000 | | |
| | Tom Rucker | | | | 750,000 | | |
| | Patrick W.D. McCann(2) | | | | 750,000 | | |
All values are in US Dollars.
Notes:
1
Mr. Fracassa joined Magna on September 10, 2025 in the role of CFO. Amount shown above reflects Mr. Fracassa’s annualized salary. For 2025, Mr. Fracassa was paid a prorated salary based on his actual start date.
2
Mr. McCann served as CFO from January 1, 2022 until September 10, 2025, and remained in an advisory capacity until March 1, 2026. Amount shown reflects his salary for the full year.
The salary bands shown above remain at- or below-market standards for equivalent roles in our executive compensation peer group.
2.
Performance Cash / STIs
NEOs other than Mr. Fracassa were awarded performance-based cash incentives tied to two metrics critical to the operation of Magna’s business and how Executive Management delivers value to shareholders through execution of the company’s annual business plan — Adjusted EBIT and Free Cash Flow. Both the Adjusted EBIT STI and the Free Cash Flow STI are “at risk” and payouts are capped at a maximum of 200% of the target opportunity.
Recognizing Mr. Fracassa’s lack of involvement in setting prior business plan targets, and given the timing of his start date within the year, Mr. Fracassa’s 2025 STI consisted of a discretionary bonus target set at $1,050,000 (annualized), which was prorated to reflect his actual start date. As of 2026, Mr. Fracassa’s STIs are consistent with other NEOs at Magna.
Target performance levels for the 2025 STIs were aligned with our 2025 business plan targets. In assessing final 2025 Adjusted EBIT STI payouts, the TOCC considered: the dynamic tariff environment at the time the 2025 business plan was approved, including rapidly changing tariff rates and policies outside management’s control; the Company’s actual gross tariff exposure in the year relative to business plan assumptions; management’s efforts in mitigating or offsetting a significant majority of such tariff exposures; the impact of unmitigated tariff costs on Adjusted EBIT; management’s achievements during 2025 with respect to reuse of capital, operational excellence initiatives, and resolution of commercial items; as well as other factors. Following a detailed review, consideration of the foregoing factors and consultation with the TOCC’s independent advisor, the TOCC applied measured discretion to increase Adjusted EBIT by $70 million to $2,434 million for compensation purposes and approved the Adjusted EBIT STI payouts on this basis. The graphs and tables that follow set forth the performance and payout scales for the 2025 STI metrics, as well as actual performance and payout levels.

Performance Equity / MLTIs
With the exception of Mr. Fracassa, NEOs were awarded performance-based MLTIs in the form of three-year ROIC PSUs and rTSR PSUs, as well as seven-year incentive stock options. PSUs represent the majority (60%) of the aggregate target MLTI grant value, are performance-conditioned, and are “at risk”, with payouts capped at 200% of the target number of PSUs granted. For 2025, Mr. Fracassa’s mid-term incentive target was established at $2,700,000 (annualized) and awarded in the form of a three-year RSU grant redeemable on December 1, 2027, which was prorated to reflect his actual start date. MLTIs granted to NEOs in 2025 were as set forth in the table below.

| | | | | The table below sets forth the payout scale for the ROIC PSUs (interpolation applies for points between the payout levels). Target performance levels for the 2025 ROIC PSUs were set with reference to Magna’s 2025 business plan. | | ||||||||||||||||||

| | | | | Other than what is described above, the company does not disclose the specific individual ROIC target levels included within the company’s business plan. Such business plan targets are based on confidential internal forecasts and projections that would negatively impact our competitive position and would seriously prejudice the company’s interest if disclosed. | | ||||||||||||||||||
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ||||||||||||||||||
| | | | | Since Magna operates in a cyclical industry, we average the implied payout for each of the three individual years of the performance period to determine the actual ROIC PSU payout. This means that a year of ROIC performance that is below the threshold level will count as 0% in the payout calculation, but cannot be a negative percentage. The effect of this is that the ROIC PSU payout will not directly correspond to our three-year average ROIC. By calculating ROIC PSU payout based on the average implied payouts for each of the years in the performance period, extreme outlier years cannot have a disproportionate impact on the payout calculation. The feature also operates to place a cap on ROIC performance above the maximum level, thus preventing positive outlier years from having a disproportionate impact on the payout calculation. | | ||||||||||||||||||
| | | | | rTSR PSUs<br><br> <br>The rTSR PSUs are intended to incent and reward creation of shareholder value, relative to the companies in our rTSR peer group. The performance period for the rTSR PSUs granted in 2025 is January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. | | ||||||||||||||||||
| | | | | The number of rTSR PSUs realized by an NEO following the performance period depends on the target number granted, Magna’s three-year rTSR performance and the payout scale approved by the TOCC. The number of rTSR PSUs that can be realized is capped at 200% of target, and no rTSR PSUs would be paid for rTSR performance below the 25th percentile of the rTSR peer group. The dollar value of compensation realized by an NEO following the performance period will depend on the final number of rTSR PSUs paid out, as well as the trading price of our Common Shares. When the 2025 rTSR PSUs are redeemed following the performance period, we will deliver Common Shares acquired on the market under our share repurchase program, with dividends credited in the form of additional units based on the final number of rTSR PSUs. | | ||||||||||||||||||
| | | | | The table below sets forth the payout scale for the rTSR PSUs (interpolation applies for points between the payout levels). | | ||||||||||||||||||
| | Performance Level | | | Three-year<br> <br><br> rTSR<br> <br><br> (Percentile) | | | Payout<br> <br><br> (% of Target) | | |||||||||||||||

| | | | | As an exception to the foregoing payout scale, if the company’s three-year rTSR is greater than the target level, thus demonstrating value creation, but absolute three-year TSR is negative, the number of rTSR PSUs paid out will be capped at the target level. This feature recognizes that payouts should not exceed target where shareholders have experienced a deterioration in the absolute value of their holdings. | | ||||||||||||||||||

| | | | | Stock Options<br><br> <br>Stock options serve as a tool to incent absolute share price returns over the long-term (seven years). Magna’s stock options vest in equal one-third tranches on the first three anniversaries of the grant date and expire on the seventh anniversary of the grant date. The TOCC is committed to responsible option granting practices, including by maintaining annual option grants to all participants below 1% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares. Options are not priced during trading blackouts and are granted at an exercise price equal to the market price on the NYSE. | | ||||||||||||||||||
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ||||||||||||||||||
| | | | | Stock options are typically granted in late February or early March of the year. Stock options in respect of 2025 compensation were granted on February 18, 2025, at an exercise price of $37.85, under our 2025 Stock Option Plan which is discussed in further detail under “Incentive Plans and Awards”. | | ||||||||||||||||||
| | | | | If an NEO ceases to be employed by Magna (including any of its affiliates) within one year following the date of a stock option exercise, they must hold Magna Common Shares with a market value (at the exercise date) equal to the net after-tax gain until the one-year anniversary of the exercise date. | |
Employment Contracts
Each NEO is subject to an employment agreement that specifies various key terms, including:
•
target total TDC, including base salary, as well as target STI and MLTI values together with performance terms;
•
standard benefits to be provided;
•
compensation claw-back terms;
•
the equity maintenance requirement applicable to the executive;
•
terms applicable in different end of employment scenarios; and
•
the executive’s post-contractual obligations.
NEO employment contracts are not guaranteed for any specified time and are terminable on notice. In accordance with their employment contracts, NEOs are entitled up to 24 months’ severance (the “Notice Period”) in the event of termination without cause. Severance payments are based on an NEO’s base salary and STIs for the two most recently completed fiscal years prior to termination.
A summary showing the treatment of each compensation element in different termination scenarios is set forth below under “Summary of Treatment of Compensation on Resignation, Retirement, Termination or Change in Control”.
We maintain “double trigger” change in control protection for the NEOs; however, such protection does not provide any enhanced severance. The primary benefit is the acceleration of any unvested stock options in the event that a change in control is followed by termination of employment or constructive dismissal for “good reason”.
In a change in control scenario, treatment of outstanding stock options will need to be addressed by the TOCC based on the specific context of the transaction. For example, in some circumstances, outstanding options could become exercisable into equity of the acquiror or, alternatively, could be accelerated. In either such case, there would be no incremental benefit to the executive as a result of this change in control protection.
An NEO may only claim “good reason”, and thus trigger the acceleration of unvested stock options, in a change of control context in the event of the following:
•
a material reduction in the executive’s position, duties, authority or responsibilities;
•
Magna requiring the executive to work at a location that is more than 100 kms from where they are based at the time of the change in control; or
•
any other action that would constitute constructive dismissal at law.
Benefits
Benefits provided to NEOs are generally the same as those provided to other employees in the same country. For example, NEOs receive the same medical, dental insurance and disability benefits as other managerial employees in the same country. As discussed earlier, Magna does not provide a defined benefit pension plan to NEOs, consistent with our compensation approach to employees generally.

During 2025, we provided limited “perks” to NEOs, including limited access to corporate aircraft for personal use, when not required for business purposes and subject to reimbursement of the company’s aggregate incremental cost of the personal flight. The company’s aggregate incremental cost consists of all variable costs for operating the aircraft for the personal flight, including fuel, maintenance, customs charges, landing and handling fees, data and communications charges, deadhead flight expenses and any other similar costs. Since Magna’s aggregate incremental cost is fully reimbursed, there is no disclosable perk amount in the Summary Compensation Table. During 2025, there were no personal use flights of the corporate aircraft.
Magna maintains corporate access privileges for business purposes to the dining room, boardroom and other facilities of a third-party owned golf course adjacent to the company’s head office. As part of such access, NEOs may utilize the golf club’s facilities for personal use at their own expense.
Executive Equity Ownership
Each NEO is subject to an equity maintenance requirement set forth in his employment contract. If an NEO’s total TDC is increased, their equity maintenance requirement increases proportionally, subject to a three-year period in which to achieve the new level. In assessing compliance with the equity maintenance requirement, NEOs’ Common Shares and equivalents (RSUs and PSUs at target, but excluding TFG PSUs) are counted. Unexercised stock options are not counted in determining compliance with the equity maintenance requirement. Each NEO exceeds the minimum equity maintenance requirement.

Anti-Hedging Restrictions
Executives are forbidden from engaging in activities that would enable them to improperly profit from changes in the value of our Common Shares or reduce their economic exposure to a decrease in the value of our Common Shares. Prohibited activities include “puts”, “collars”, equity swaps, hedges, derivative transactions and any transaction aimed at limiting an executive’s exposure to a loss or risk of loss in the value of the Magna securities that he or she holds.
Automatic Securities Disposition Plans
Subject to applicable law, executives are permitted to enter into automatic securities disposition plans (“ASDPs”), which are also known as Rule 10b5-1 Plans. Such plans allow executives to establish a plan for the sale of Common Shares held by the executive and exercise of stock options granted to them, subject to meeting all legal requirements applicable to such plans. Among other things, an executive may only enter into, modify or terminate a plan while he or she is not under a trading blackout or otherwise in possession of material non-public information. None of the NEOs had an ASDP in place during 2025.

D. Compensation Risk Management
| | Overall Level of Compensation Risk is Reasonable in Light of Nature of Magna’s Business and Industry | | | The TOCC has considered whether Magna’s executive compensation system may encourage excessive risk taking. The TOCC concluded that the potential risks created by any particular element of the system are appropriately mitigated by other elements and that the overall level of risk is reasonable in light of the nature of Magna’s business and the automotive industry. In reaching this conclusion, the TOCC considered the methods described below, which are employed to help establish an appropriate balance between risk and reward, as well as to encourage responsible decision-making:<br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>Board/TOCC oversight of executive compensation generally;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>independent advice and recommendations on compensation matters provided by compensation consultants and legal advisors directly selected and retained by the TOCC;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>Board/TOCC discretion to determine target total compensation;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>complete Board/TOCC discretion over the form of STIs and LTIs;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>mix of compensation vehicles and metrics;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>links between executive compensation and consequences of management decision-making;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>the 200% cap on STIs relative to the target opportunity;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>the 200% cap on the maximum number of ROIC and rTSR PSUs that can be realized relative to the target opportunity;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>compensation clawback policy consistent with the requirements set out in Section 303A.14 of The New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>forfeiture risk applicable to PSUs and stock options in certain circumstances;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>significant levels of personal wealth “at risk” due to equity maintenance requirements;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>post-retirement holdback of option shares resulting from option exercises occurring within one-year prior to retirement; and<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>anti-hedging restrictions.<br><br> <br> | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | | Beyond the compensation-specific features which help mitigate risk, the TOCC also assesses the broader context of Board oversight and controls which serve to mitigate the potential for excessive risk taking by Executive Management. These controls include:<br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>Annual Board approval of rolling three-year business plans and seven-year strategic plans;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>Board approval of annual capital expenditures budget;<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>Board control over return of capital to shareholders through dividends and annual share repurchase budgets; and<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>•<br><br> <br>Board approval of all acquisitions or dispositions with an enterprise value in excess of $250 million, as well as joint ventures or partnerships requiring an investment of such amount.<br><br> <br> | |
| | | | | When these controls are considered along with the compensation features above, the TOCC is satisfied that the theoretical potential for excessive risk taking by Executive Management is sufficiently moderated by adequate Board oversight and compensation disincentives. | |

Notes:
1
Amounts disclosed in this column represent the grant value (at target) of PSUs except in the case of Mr. Fracassa for whom the amount disclosed represents RSUs.
2
The amount disclosed represents:
a.
$837,000 representing Mr. Fracassa’s prorated 2025 mid-term incentive RSU grant, based on an annualized target of $2,700,000 and his start date of September 10, 2025; and
b.
a one-time, $4,500,000 RSU grant to compensate Mr. Fracassa for forfeited compensation related to resignation from his prior employment to assume the CFO role at Magna. This RSU grant vests in equal 25% tranches in February 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029.
3
Amounts disclosed in this column represent the compensation value intended to be conferred by the Board in the form of the stock options as discussed in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section of this Circular. In valuing such options, the TOCC initially makes reference to the value of a time-vested stock option determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For stock options granted in 2025, the TOCC referred to the calculated Black-Scholes value to determine the number of stock options to be granted for the applicable compensation value, and applied a cap of 25% of the market/option exercise price of Magna Common Shares at the date of grant. In any given year, the TOCC may apply a 20% floor or a 25% cap to the market/option exercise price of Magna Common Shares at the date of the grant. The cap and floor limits represent a prudent practice intended to prevent an excessive number of stock options being granted in any year and to normalize volatility driven deviations from the median and average trends in Black-Scholes values for the company’s stock options over a rolling ten-year period.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of a number of assumptions, including expected time until exercise, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields. Although the assumptions used reflect our best estimates, they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside Magna’s control. If other assumptions are used, the stock option value disclosed could be significantly impacted. The weighted average assumptions used in measuring the Black-Scholes fair value for the stock options granted in each of 2025, 2024 and 2023, as well as any applied cap or floor values, are as follows:

Amounts disclosed in this column represent the aggregate STI paid in cash annually. In the case of Mr. Fracassa, the amount consists of his discretionary bonus of $326,000 and a one-time award of $500,000 for forfeited cash compensation related to resignation from his prior employment to assume the CFO role at Magna.
Magna’s Total Shareholder Return Performance
The graph below shows the five-year total return of Magna Common Shares on the TSX and NYSE as compared to the S&P/TSX and S&P500 composite indices, respectively, assuming investment of C$100 and $100 on December 31, 2020 and reinvestment of dividends.

If a shareholder had invested C$100 in Magna Common Shares on the TSX on December 31, 2020, the cumulative value of that investment would be C$96.24 as at December 31, 2025. In the case of an investment of $100 in Magna Common Shares on the NYSE on the same date, the total cumulative value of that investment would be $89.23 as at December 31, 2025. In each such case, the cumulative growth in value lagged the applicable index by the end of the five-year period. Potential considerations include the differential impact of COVID-related lockdowns, semiconductor chip shortages, inflationary cost increases, changes to global tariff policies, and economic cyclicality on Magna as compared to other companies and industries represented in the indices.

Incentive Plans and Awards
| | 2025 Stock Option Plan | | | Stock options granted in 2025 and onwards are made under the 2025 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“2025 Stock Option Plan”), which was approved by shareholders on May 8, 2025. The 2025 Stock Option Plan is administered by the TOCC and is summarized below. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Eligible Participants: | | | Current, actively employed employees of Magna or any of Magna’s subsidiaries are eligible for grants under the 2025 Stock Option Plan. While we expect that options will primarily be granted to members of Magna’s Executive Management and other senior leaders, eligibility is not limited to such leaders.

Corporate Governance at Magna
Magna believes that strong corporate governance practices are essential to fostering stakeholder trust and confidence, management accountability and long-term shareholder value. This commitment to sound and effective governance starts with a diverse, experienced and highly skilled Board that:
•
is informed, active and engaged;
•
functions independently of Management;
•
embraces evaluation and continuous development;
•
values transparency and is accountable to stakeholders; and
•
fosters a culture of integrity and ethical conduct.
The manner in which these important characteristics support the Board in fulfilling its stewardship role is detailed in this section. Details about our Nominees for election at the Meeting, including their biographies, skills and experience, tenure and compensation, can be found in the “Business of the Meeting — Election of Directors” section of this Circular.
Our approach to corporate governance is set forth in our Board Charter, which is available on our website (www.magna.com) and has been filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca). The Board Charter is reviewed at least annually and updated as needed to reflect evolving best practices in corporate governance.

Governance Environment
Regulation
Magna’s Common Shares are listed on the TSX (stock symbol: MG) and the NYSE (stock symbol: MGA). In addition to being subject to regulation by these stock exchanges, we are subject to securities and corporate governance regulation by the Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”), including the Ontario Securities Commission, which is Magna’s primary securities regulator. Magna is also regulated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a “foreign private issuer”.
We meet or exceed all of the guidelines established by the CSA in National Policy 58-201 — Corporate Governance Guidelines. Additionally, although we are not required to comply with most of NYSE’s Corporate Governance Standards, our practices meet or exceed them in all material respects. Any differences between our governance practices and NYSE’s Corporate Governance Standards are discussed in the “Statement of Significant Governance Differences (NYSE)” which can be found on our website (www.magna.com).
Best Practices
Magna also monitors the voting policies, corporate governance guidelines and recommended best practices of our largest institutional shareholders, shareholder representative organizations, such as the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance, as well as proxy advisory firms, such as Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis & Co.
Governance Framework
The diagram below summarizes our governance structure, with key elements described in the sections that follow.

About the Board
Board Size and Term
Our articles of incorporation permit a Board size of between five and fifteen directors, with the exact number to be determined by the Board. Over the last ten years, our Board has ranged between ten and thirteen directors, with an average of around eleven. For 2026, twelve nominees have been put forward for election by shareholders. The Board believes that this is an appropriate number of nominees in light of the scale and complexity of Magna’s business and the markets in which we operate, as well as the range of skills needed to effectively oversee the company’s strategy and risks, provide strategic guidance and advice to Executive Management, staff Board Committees and address planned director retirements effectively. Each director is elected for a one-year term expiring at our next annual meeting of shareholders.

In addition to the minimum qualifications specified in the OBCA, our Board Charter requires that each director possesses the following attributes:
•
personal and professional integrity;
•
significant achievement in their field;
•
experience and expertise relevant to our business;
•
a reputation for sound and mature business judgement;
•
the commitment and ability to devote the necessary time and effort in order to conduct their duties effectively; and
•
general ability to read and understand financial statements.
Beyond the above minimum qualifications for service, we expect all of our directors to attend all Board and Committee meetings. However, we recognize that scheduling conflicts are unavoidable from time to time, particularly in the case of meetings that are called on short notice. Accordingly, directors are subject to a minimum attendance requirement of 75% for all regularly scheduled Board and Committee meetings, except where an absence is due to a medical or other valid reason.
In order to be able to devote the necessary time and effort to the activities of the Board and its committees, directors serving on the Board may not sit on more than four public company boards (including ours) without the prior approval of the GNSC. A director on our Board who serves as a chief executive officer (or equivalent position) of another public company may not serve on the board of any other public company (other than the company of which they are the chief executive officer) while serving on our Board without the prior approval of the GNSC. Our chief executive officer is allowed to serve on the board of one other public company, and currently serves as an independent director on the board of another public company.
Board Leadership
Our Board is led by an independent Board Chair who is annually selected by the Independent Directors from among themselves. Robert F. MacLellan has served as our independent Chairman since May 2022.
The Board Chair’s basic duties include presiding over Board meetings, including in camera sessions at each such meeting involving the Independent Directors, overseeing Board Committees and coordinating Board activities with Committee Chairs. Other duties of the Board Chair, as described in the Board Charter, include:
•
agenda-setting for Board meetings;
•
representing the Board in discussions with third parties;
•
representing the Board in discussions with Executive Management;
•
generally ensuring that the Board functions independently of Executive Management;
•
assisting in recruiting director candidates who have been identified by the GNSC; and

•
overseeing the annual evaluation process of the Board and its Committees.
The Board can delegate additional responsibilities to the Board Chair at any time. Any change to the responsibilities listed in the Board Charter must be approved by the Board.
Board Committee Structure
The Board carries out its duties in part through four standing Committees:
•
Audit Committee;
•
Governance, Nominating and Sustainability Committee;
•
Talent Oversight and Compensation Committee; and
•
Technology Committee.
Each Independent Director is expected to serve on the Technology Committee and one other standing Committee, but may attend the meetings of any Committee. Committee staffing assignments are made with the aim of best matching the skills and expertise of Independent Directors to the Committee mandates in order to maximize the overall effectiveness of the Board and its Committees.
All of the Board Committees are staffed and chaired by Independent Directors, and operate under Committee Charters, which are available on our website (www.magna.com) and on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca). Each Committee has prepared a report appearing later in this Circular, summarizing the Committee’s mandate and membership, highlighting key accomplishments and identifying major areas of focus.
In addition to the Board’s standing Committees, the Board may establish special committees composed entirely of Independent Directors to review and make recommendations on specific matters or transactions. There were no special committees during 2025.
Director Compensation
Compensation for our Independent Directors is structured to attract and retain skilled independent directors and align their interests with the interests of our long-term shareholders. The details of our director compensation structure and 2025 independent director compensation can be found in the “Business of the Meeting — Director Compensation” section of this Circular.
Board Independence
Shareholders are best served by a strong Board which exercises independent judgement, as well as prudent and effective oversight on behalf of shareholders. Assuming all the Nominees listed in this Circular are elected with a majority of votes, eleven out of twelve, or 92%, of the directors on our Board will be “independent”. This far exceeds the minimum two-thirds independence requirement contained in our Board Charter and recommended by the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance, as well as the recommendation in National Policy 58-201 that a majority of directors be independent.
Definition of Independence
A Magna director is considered to be independent only after the Board has affirmatively determined that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship that could interfere with the exercise of their independent judgement. This approach to determining director independence draws upon the definitions contained in Section 1.4 of National Instrument 52-110 (“NI 52-110”) and Section 303A.02 of the NYSE’s Corporate Governance Listing Standards, as well as the specific relationships identified in those instruments as precluding a person from being determined to be an independent director.
Audit Committee members are subject to a higher standard of independence than other directors, consistent with Section 1.5 of NI 52-110. Under this standard, a person cannot be considered an independent director for purposes of Audit Committee membership if (among other things) he or she is a partner, member, executive officer, managing director or person in a similar

position at an accounting, consulting, legal, investment banking or financial advisory services firm providing services to Magna (including any subsidiary) for consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees.
In determining whether any candidate for service on the Board is independent, information is typically compiled from a variety of sources, including: written questionnaires completed by directors/candidates; information previously provided to us by directors; our records relating to relationships with accounting, consulting, legal, investment banking or financial advisory services firms, together with information provided to us by such firms; and publicly available information. The GNSC is provided with a summary of all such relationships (whether or not material) known by Magna based on the foregoing sources. Following the GNSC’s consideration and assessment of such information, it presents its recommendation to the Board for approval.
Additional Ways in Which Independence is Fostered
Aside from the two-thirds independence requirement, there are other ways in which Board independence is fostered, including:
•
separation of the roles of Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer, together with position descriptions defining such roles;
•
a requirement that the Chief Executive Officer resign from the Board when they retire from Management;
•
the use of in camera sessions at every Board and Committee meeting;
•
the right of the Board and each Committee to engage independent legal, financial and other advisors at Magna’s expense;
•
limitations on board interlocks;
•
Board and Committee Chairs’ authority over meeting agendas and attendees; and
•
Independent Directors’ right to discuss any matter with any employee or any advisor to the company, as well as any independent advisor retained by the Board or a Committee.
Committee Independence
The Board believes that Committee independence is critical to enabling the Board to exercise prudent and effective oversight. In addition to permitting only Independent Directors to serve on the Audit Committee, GNSC and TOCC, independence is promoted in a number of ways, including the:
•
use of in camera sessions at every Committee meeting;
•
right of each Committee to retain independent advisors at Magna’s expense;
•
inclusion in each Committee Charter of a position description for the Committee Chair;
•
Committee Chairs’ authority over meeting agendas and attendees;
•
Committee members’ right to discuss any matter with any employee or any advisor to the company, as well as any independent advisor retained by the Board or a Committee; and
•
right of any Committee member to call a Committee meeting.
Interlocks
Our Board Charter limits the number of boards on which our directors can serve together. There are currently no Board interlocks.
CEO Position Description
A position description has been developed for the Chief Executive Officer to further promote the independence of the Board and to define the limits of the Chief Executive’s authority. His basic duties and responsibilities include:
•
development of Magna’s overall corporate strategy (including product, geographic, customer, merger/acquisition and growth strategies) and capital allocation priorities, in conjunction with the Board of Directors;

•
overall direction of Magna’s operations and implementation of strategy in conjunction with the senior leadership team;
•
formulation or approval of critical corporate policies and programs;
•
promotion of Magna’s decentralized, entrepreneurial culture, as well as its culture of integrity;
•
development of Magna’s management reporting structure;
•
selection of senior leadership team and oversight of succession planning for critical positions;
•
together with the Board, determination of compensation for members of Magna’s Executive Management;
•
interaction with the Board on behalf of Management; and
•
communication with key stakeholders.
Director Conflicts of Interest and Related Party Transactions
Where a director has a conflict of interest regarding any matter before the Board, the conflicted director must declare their interest, depart the portion of the meeting during which the matter is discussed and abstain from voting on the matter. However, the OBCA permits directors to vote on their own compensation for serving as directors.
The GNSC is generally responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding related party transactions. In the case of a related party transaction that is material in value, the unconflicted members of the Board may choose to establish a special committee composed solely of Independent Directors to review and make recommendations to the Board. Related party transactions include those between Magna (including any subsidiary) and a director, officer or person owning more than 10% of our Common Shares. In reviewing and making recommendations regarding related party transactions, the GNSC seeks to ensure that transaction terms reflect those that would typically be negotiated between arm’s length parties, any value paid in the transaction represents fair market value and that the transaction is in the best interests of the company. There were no such related party transactions during 2025.
Board’s Stewardship Role
The Board is responsible for the overall stewardship of Magna. To this end, the Board: supervises the management of the business and affairs of Magna in accordance with the legal requirements set out in the OBCA, as well as other applicable law; and, jointly with Management, seeks to create long-term shareholder value. The Board’s stewardship role, specific responsibilities, compositional requirements and various other matters are set forth in our Board Charter.
Consistent with the standard of care for directors under the OBCA, each director on the Board seeks to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation and to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. The standard of care under Ontario corporate law differs from that of some other common law jurisdictions, by requiring directors to act in the “best interests of the corporation” as opposed to the “best interests of shareholders”. This distinction effectively recognizes that while individual shareholders may have conflicting interests, investment intents and investing horizons, the stewards of a corporation must act with a view to the interests of the corporation as a whole. Consistent with case law developed under the OBCA and equivalent federal and provincial corporate statutes in Canada, Magna’s Board seeks to consider and balance the impact of its decisions on its affected stakeholders, including shareholders, other security holders and employees.
Primary Board Responsibilities
The Board Charter identifies the following as the Board’s primary responsibilities:
•
Corporate Culture and Approach to Corporate Governance: Magna maintains a unique entrepreneurial corporate culture that we believe has been critical to our past success and expect will be critical to our future success. The Board oversees Magna’s culture and overall approach to corporate governance, including by determining the specific policies

and practices that the Board believes to be in the best interests of the company. The Board has delegated to the GNSC the responsibility for making recommendations with respect to corporate governance matters.
•
Oversight of Executive Management: The Board appoints the Chief Executive Officer, assesses his performance, determines his compensation and provides strategic advice to him and other members of the Executive Management team. Additionally, the Board satisfies itself as to the integrity of each member of Executive Management and the creation by the Executive Management team of a culture of integrity and ethical business conduct throughout the company.
•
Executive Compensation: The Board oversees our system of executive compensation by structuring incentives aimed at attracting, retaining and motivating skilled executives to responsibly achieve the long-term objectives established through the company’s strategic planning process. The Board has delegated to the TOCC the responsibility for making recommendations on executive compensation matters. The CD&A section of this Circular contains a detailed discussion of how the Board and TOCC fulfill their responsibilities related to executive compensation decisions.
•
Succession Planning: The Board satisfies itself that the company has developed appropriate succession plans identifying potential future candidates for all positions within Executive Management, management of Magna’s Operating Groups and other key positions in the company. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the Board aims to satisfy itself that Magna’s succession processes:
–
have been structured to enable the Board to promptly address an unplanned succession event involving members of Executive Management;
–
will facilitate seamless transitions of members of Executive Management and Operating Group management, as such managers retire, are promoted to new roles or leave the company; and
–
include robust and effective talent management practices to identify, reward, retain, develop and promote high-performing employees.
The Board receives regular updates on Magna’s leadership development and succession planning activities, from our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief People Officer. Additionally, the Board has multiple opportunities each year to meet and engage with key managers and high-performing employees. Overall, the Board is satisfied that Magna has in place appropriate succession plans addressing key positions within the company, including the Chief Executive Officer’s, as well as a leadership development system that supports the company’s succession planning objectives more generally.
•
Strategic Planning: The Board oversees the development and implementation of the company’s long-term strategy, as well as its near-term (typically three-year) business plan. In fulfilling this responsibility, the Board meets with Executive Management in two or more dedicated sessions each year, during which the Board:
–
assesses strategic priorities in light of automotive industry trends and developments;
–
engages with, and provides advice and guidance to, Executive Management on the company’s approach to product portfolio, key customers, geographic footprint, core and emerging technologies, R&D priorities, acquisitions/divestitures, talent management and other areas of strategy;
–
considers consolidated and Operating Group three-year business plans, together with sensitivity analyses of the consolidated business plan;
–
evaluates short-, medium- and long-term risks that could erode the value of the company’s businesses and business units, together with Management actions to mitigate such risks;
–
engages in scenario planning to model the impact of events such as potential economic downturns;
–
provides input on capital allocation priorities, as well as capital structure, and approves a capital expenditure budget for the year;
–
approves a three-year consolidated business plan and updated strategic plan; and

–
jointly identifies with Executive Management action plans to address at subsequent Board meetings any open questions/issues arising from the business planning/strategy session.
The company’s strategy is discussed in the company’s Annual Information Form/Annual Report on Form 40-F filed concurrently with this Circular.
•
Capital Allocation: In approving capital, the Board is focused on ensuring that the company can deliver on the Board-approved, long-term strategic priorities, while still meeting its near-term product and program commitments to customers. Updates regarding changes in capital expenditure needs from the approved budget are presented quarterly, and further Board approval is required where the company’s capital expenditures are forecast to exceed the Board-approved amount for that year.
•
Enterprise Risk Management: The Board satisfies itself as to the existence of effective processes to identify and mitigate (to the extent practicable) Magna’s principal business risks. In fulfilling its oversight responsibility, the Board satisfies itself that Management has implemented appropriate strategies to address the strategic and competitive challenges faced by the company over different time horizons, manage day-to-day operational risks, promote legal and regulatory compliance and ethical conduct, safeguard corporate assets and maintain appropriate financial and internal controls designed to protect the integrity of Magna’s financial statements. The Board’s approach to enterprise risk recognizes that risk and reward are “flip sides of the same coin”, but that management decision-making must be infused with both an awareness and understanding of such risks, as well as a clear understanding of the limits of risk that the Board will accept.
The Board maintains risk oversight responsibility for strategic risks and has delegated specific areas of risk oversight to its standing Committees so that the directors on such Committees can bring their particular knowledge and expertise to the risks falling within the Committee’s authority. The key risks overseen by the Board and each standing Board Committee are as follows:

Each Committee’s risk mandate is described further in the Committee’s Charter. Risk oversight areas are revised and/or added from time to time, as applicable, in the course of annual Committee Charter reviews. In particular, early in 2026, the Board oversaw and approved amendments to its Charter and the related Committee Charters to reflect the realignment of all Domains of cybersecurity oversight to the full Board. Moreover, director orientation and education activities related to risk topics are not limited to those in a Committee’s Charter.
•
Disclosure: We have established and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure that material information disclosed to stakeholders is timely, factual, accurate and in compliance with the applicable regulatory and legal requirements to which Magna is subject. We maintain a disclosure committee comprised of senior management, tasked with reviewing and approving all material information and public regulatory filings prior to such information being made public and/or filed with applicable regulatory agencies. Each Board Committee also reviews the material information relevant to its mandate to be included in regulatory filings prior to consideration and approval by the Board.
•
Shareholder Engagement: Our Board recognizes that being accessible and engaging in open, regular dialogue with shareholders is a vital element of strong corporate governance. The shareholder engagement activities of the Board are discussed in greater detail later in this Corporate Governance section.
•
Fundamental Corporate Actions: In addition to identifying the above responsibilities, the Board Charter helps to define the role of the Board with respect to various fundamental actions, such as financial statements, material public disclosure documents, business plans and capital expenditure budgets, material financing documents, major organizational restructurings, material acquisitions and divestitures, as well as major corporate policies. We believe that the identification and definition of Board responsibility for the foregoing items promotes Board independence.

Board Effectiveness
Recruitment and Nomination Process
The GNSC recommends to the Board the nominees for election at each annual meeting of the company’s shareholders. In carrying out this function, the GNSC considers factors such as the following in determining potential gaps:
•
Magna’s most recent strategic plan;
•
feedback on director recruitment priorities from the annual board effectiveness evaluation process;
•
updated Board skills matrix and succession planning roadmap;
•
Board composition, independence, diversity and other factors;
•
Board Committee staffing needs and regulatory requirements; and
•
advice from the Board’s independent search firm.
It then seeks to address any potential gaps through recruitment of one or more additional directors identified with the assistance of a professional search firm. Potential candidates may also be recommended by existing directors, members of Management, external advisors, shareholders or others. The names of candidates identified by any such parties are provided to the search firm retained by the GNSC for its recommendation as to suitability. The GNSC will typically interview a short list of three to five candidates for each Board seat it seeks to fill.
Diversity Policy
Board Diversity
We believe that shareholders benefit from a strong, independent board composed of highly engaged directors who represent a diversity of knowledge, skills, experience, perspectives and backgrounds that will assist the Board in fulfilling its duties. As such, the Board has tasked the GNSC with the responsibility of establishing director recruitment procedures that are aimed at eliciting a diverse range of candidates, without discrimination on the basis of any diversity attributes, including age, gender, cultural background, national origin, religion, physical ability, and sexual or gender orientation.
The Board adopted a Board Diversity Policy aiming for gender parity and has successfully achieved this goal. As of 2025, the three-year gender parity average for the Board was 40% female to 60% male. Consistent with the recommendations of the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance, gender parity is defined as a balance between male and female directors which ranges between 40% and 60% over a rolling three-year time frame. The Board has not adopted specific targets relating to other diversity attributes; however, the Board considers these factors in striving for a composition that is generally reflective of Magna’s customers, shareholders and employees, as well as the geographic markets in which it operates.
Currently, the GNSC uses a professional search firm that operates under instruction to elicit a diverse range of candidates, with none excluded on the basis of personal characteristics or attributes unrelated to the individual’s ability to carry out their duties as a director. The Board is satisfied that the approach thus far has been effective in achieving a diverse Board over a period of time, as exemplified by the balance of female directors (33% of the Nominees), as well as the proportion of Nominees (25%) self-identifying as members of the LGBTQ+ community or as an underrepresented minority in their home country.
Management Diversity
Diversity within our employee population is also important to us and we strive to create an inclusive work environment throughout the company. We have taken a number of steps in this regard, including: development and implementation of a diversity awareness program; creation of a Global Diversity & Inclusion Council headed by two senior leaders; fostering the establishment of employee resource communities (“ERCs”), including Women’s exchange (Wx), Race & Ethnicity (Eg) and Pride (Pr); as well as establishment of strategic partnerships with a broad range of organizations dedicated to raising the profile of women in the automotive industry.

On a global basis, approximately 29% (2024: 29%) of the employees in our wholly owned operations are women. A total of approximately 9,523 (2024: 5,579) employees in our wholly owned operations occupy critical roles with 2,043 (2024: 1,037) of such employees, or 22% (2024: 19%), being women. Underrepresentation of women in our workforce is most pronounced in IT, operations and product engineering career streams, a consistent trend throughout the automotive industry.
Recognizing the importance of improving gender diversity within key technical career streams, many of the organizations we have partnered with promote gender diversity in technical career streams. Our current strategic partnerships include: Automotive Women’s Alliance; Build a Dream; Centre for Automotive Diversity, Inclusion & Advancement (CADIA); Catalyst; FIRST Robotics — Girls in STEM; her Career; Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE); Indspire; Inforum; KnowledgeStart; National Society of Black Engineers; Queen’s University Engineering Society; Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers; Society of Women Engineers (SWE); WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) and Women in Manufacturing.
The Board as a whole continues to advocate for improved gender representation and other diversity in leadership and other critical roles, as well as STEM career streams. In addition to their strong advocacy, the female directors of the Board, currently representing more than one-third of our Board of Directors, have also sought opportunities to mentor and share their experiences with the company’s high-performing female employees.
Our approach to diversity is described in greater detail in our Sustainability Report.
Term Limits
The GNSC is committed to ensuring that Independent Directors remain active, engaged and effective participants on the Board and that they are able to function independently of Management. Decisions regarding continued service on the Board by an Independent Director are based primarily on the Board’s skills needs and the Independent Director’s performance, as determined through the Board’s annual effectiveness evaluation, which includes peer review components. Subject to the foregoing, an Independent Director may serve for a maximum of twelve years.
Expected director retirement dates of current Independent Directors based on the twelve-year tenure limit are set forth in the table below

Annual Board Effectiveness Assessment
Magna maintains an annual Board effectiveness assessment process which aims to assist in the identification of short- and long-term Board priorities, as well as the assessment of the overall functioning of the Board, its Committees and individual directors. The effectiveness assessment, which is overseen by the GNSC, typically consists of the following components:

trends and technologies relevant to our operations, products and customers;
•
significant risks and risk management mitigation processes;

Our director education program is developed based on priorities identified by the Board and may include various elements, including: site visits to our facilities; video overviews of manufacturing facilities; guided visits to major auto shows; in-boardroom presentations by members of Management, external advisors or others; third-party led training programs; membership in organizations representing independent directors; and subscriptions to relevant periodicals or other educational resources.
Independent Directors are encouraged to participate in additional director education activities of their choosing, at our expense. We maintain Board memberships to the Institute of Corporate Directors, as well as the National Association of Corporate Directors and encourage Independent Directors to attend conferences, seminars and webinars organized by these or other organizations. Additionally, directors are routinely provided with thought leadership materials on a range of topics from a number of respected external sources, including: investor representative organizations such as the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance; various law, accounting, management consulting and executive compensation firms; automotive industry news sources; and general publications relating to public companies. Further, we regularly distribute media articles relating to Magna and the automotive industry, as well as analyst reports and updates relating to Magna, its competitors and the automotive industry.

Shareholder Democracy and Engagement
Shareholder Democracy
Magna’s approach to corporate governance reflects the following basic principles of shareholder democracy:
•
One Share, One Vote: We have a single class of shares, with each share entitled to one vote.
•
Majority Voting: Under applicable corporate law, shareholders can only vote “for” or “withhold” their vote for director nominees. A “withhold” vote is an abstention or non-vote instead of a vote against the nominee. As a result, a single “for” vote can result in a nominee being elected, no matter how many votes were withheld. We have adopted a majority voting policy in our Board Charter, under which we treat “withhold” votes as if they were votes against a nominee in the case of an uncontested election (i.e. one in which the number of nominees equals the number of Board positions). A nominee who is legally elected as a director but receives more “withhold” votes than “for” votes must immediately tender a resignation to the Chair of the GNSC.
Detailed voting results are promptly disclosed in a press release issued after each shareholder meeting, so that shareholders can easily understand the level of support for each nominee, as well as each other item of business at the meeting.
Unless there are exceptional circumstances, the GNSC and Board must accept the resignation, effective within no more than 90 days after the annual meeting. We will promptly disclose in a press release the determination made by the Board and, in the event they reject a resignation under the majority voting policy, we will disclose the nature of the exceptional circumstances underlying the refusal to accept the resignation.
Where the GNSC accepts a director’s resignation under our majority voting policy, it may recommend and the Independent Directors may accept one of the following three outcomes:
–
leave the resulting vacancy unfilled;
–
fill the vacancy by appointing someone other than the director who resigned; or
–
call a special meeting of shareholders at which a nominee other than the one who resigned will be proposed for election.
•
Advance Notice By-Law: Shareholders wishing to nominate a candidate for election to our Board at an annual meeting of shareholders or any special meeting where one of the purposes of the meeting is the election of directors, may do so by complying with the advance notice provisions of our corporate By-Law. These provisions, which are intended to provide a fair and transparent process for shareholder nominations set out, among other things that timely written notice of the nomination(s) must be provided by the nominating shareholder to Magna’s Corporate Secretary within the timelines, and must include the information, specified in the By-Law. The full text of our By-Law is available on our website (www.magna.com) and filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).
•
Shareholder Proposals and Communication: Subject to meeting certain technical requirements, shareholders are entitled under applicable corporate law to put forward proposals to be voted on at a meeting of shareholders. The Board will give serious consideration to the voting results for shareholder proposals, even if they are only advisory in nature.
Proposals of shareholders intended to be presented at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2027 must be received by us at our principal executive offices on or before March 5, 2027, in order to be included in our 2027 Management Information Circular/Proxy Statement.
•
Corporate Transactions Involving the Issuance of 25% or More of Our Issued and Outstanding Common Shares: Corporate transactions involving the issuance of a significant proportion of Common Shares may be material and should be approved by shareholders. In the event of a transaction which would involve the issuance of 25% or more of our issued and outstanding Common Shares, we will obtain shareholder approval before proceeding with the transaction.

Shareholder Engagement
We value constructive dialogue with shareholders and potential investors and regularly engage with shareholders and shareholder representative organizations throughout the year to better understand their perspectives regarding Magna. Where possible, we consider the feedback received from such meetings in refining Magna’s policies, practices and/or public disclosures.
The Board’s shareholder engagement activities are led by Robert F. MacLellan, the Chairman of the Board. Board-led discussions typically relate to matters such as corporate governance and executive compensation. Significant shareholder and investor outreach is also conducted by members of our Executive Management team as part of our regular investor relations activities, as well as by members of our sustainability team as part of our ongoing engagement on ESG topics. Feedback communicated by shareholders and investors to the Executive Management team is shared with the Board on a quarterly basis and the Chairman advises the full Board regarding shareholder engagement activities conducted by him.
The following table provides an overview of the various types of shareholder engagement activities conducted by the Board of Directors and Executive Management, encompassing interactions with existing and prospective shareholders, as well as other stakeholders:

Ethical Conduct
Code of Conduct
We maintain a Code of Conduct & Ethics (the “Code”) that articulates our compliance-oriented expectations and our standards of conduct in a number of specific areas, including:
•
Respect for human rights, diversity and inclusion;
•
Conducting business with integrity, fairness and respect;
•
Complying with all laws and regulations, including anti-bribery, competition, and antitrust laws;
•
Lobbying and political contributions;
•
Full, accurate, and timely public disclosures, including financial reporting;
•
Prohibiting insider trading;
•
Environmental responsibility;
•
Occupational health and safety;
•
Managing conflicts of interest;
•
Careful communication and protection of confidential and personal information;
•
Compliance with related corporate policies; and
•
Reporting suspected violations of the Code and prohibiting retaliation against employees who report such violations in good faith.
The Code is disclosed on the corporate governance section of our website (www.magna.com) and posted on our employee intranet in 27 languages. The Code is administered and overseen by the Audit Committee and applies equally to all of our directors, officers and employees. The Code is reviewed regularly and proposed amendments must be approved by the Board. The requirements of the Code are supplemented by compliance policies covering specific topics, including: bribery and improper payments, gifts and entertainment, anti-retaliation, careful communication, conflicts of interest, antitrust and competition. Any waivers of the Code for directors or executive officers must be approved by the Audit Committee. No waivers of the Code were requested or granted in 2025.
Ethics and Legal Compliance Program
We maintain an ethics and legal compliance training program (“ELC Program”), which aims to assist employees in understanding the values, standards and principles underlying the Code, as well as the application of such values, standards and principles to real-life situations encountered by employees in different roles. Our ELC Program, which is overseen by the Audit Committee, involves specialized compliance training modules which target specific functional audiences and high-risk regions. In addition to providing training on legal compliance and ethics topics generally, these specialized programs are designed to be interactive and incorporate real-life scenarios and exercises.
The global implementation of the Program is supervised by the Magna Compliance Council (“Compliance Council”), a body that includes key corporate officers representing our finance, legal, human resources, operations, internal audit, sales and

marketing, and ethics & compliance functions. The Compliance Council is tasked with, among other things, providing overall direction for the ELC program, approving key initiatives and ensuring that the required elements of the ELC program are being carried out globally by our cross-functional Operating Group Compliance Committees.
Magna Hotline
We maintain a confidential and anonymous whistle-blowing line known as the Magna Hotline, which is overseen by the Audit Committee. Employees and other stakeholders (such as customers and suppliers) may take submissions to the Magna Hotline by phone or online, at any time, in 29 languages. Submissions are received and tracked by an independent third-party service provider. Non HR-related reports to the Hotline are reviewed by Magna’s Internal Audit Department, and, when appropriate, an investigation is conducted in accordance with our policy on Internal Ethics Investigations. The Audit Committee receives quarterly presentations from the Vice President, Internal Audit regarding Hotline activity and details of fraud, financial reporting, and other non-HR related reports.
Sustainability at Magna
At Magna we are committed to making a difference through our products and processes, as well as continuing to demonstrate care and concern for our people and the communities in which they live.

Magna’s Climate Change Commitment
We recognize the reality of climate change and its impact on the planet. As a result, we are focused on doing the right things today so that our corporate interests do not come at the expense of the viability of life for the generations that follow. Although combating climate change requires a collective global response, Magna is determined to play its part in addressing this existential threat to our planet. In 2024, we received approval by the SBTi of Magna’s near-term and net-zero emission reduction targets and the verification by SBTi of Magna’s net-zero science-based target by 2050.
The details of Magna’s net-zero commitment are outlined in our Sustainability Report which forms part of our Annual Information Form.

Approach to Sustainable Value Creation
Overall, our approach to sustainable value creation involves:
•
designing, engineering, manufacturing and delivering innovative product solutions for our customers, which achieve shared goals of reduced weight, lower fuel consumption and reduced carbon emissions;
•
optimizing and innovating our manufacturing processes for resource and input efficiency, as well as product quality;
•
enhancing the energy efficiency of our plants and transitioning our operations to 100% renewable energy by 2030 to achieve our SBT requirement to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% from a 2021 baseline;
•
engaging our supply chain to reduce Scope 3 emissions 25% by 2030 from a 2021 baseline;
•
staying focused on our net-zero commitment to reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions 90% by 2050 from a 2021 baseline;
•
treating our employees fairly and looking out for their health, safety and general well-being;
•
serving as a good community partner, particularly in the communities in which our employees live and work; and
•
enhancing the sustainability of our supply chain with respect to human rights and working conditions through communication, monitoring, and where necessary, corrective action.
![[MISSING IMAGE: fc_metrics-pn.jpg]](fc_metrics-pn.jpg)
Additional details of our sustainability activities can be found in our Sustainability Report, which aims to provide our stakeholders with a better understanding of how we approach the creation of sustainable, long-term value and our management of sustainability-related risks. The report has been structured to align with Task Force on Climate-Related Disclosures \(TCFD\) and its replacement standard the International Sustainability Standards Board \(ISSB\) IFRS S1 and S2 Climate Related Disclosures Standards, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board’s \(SASB\) Auto Parts accounting standard, where possible; and also includes key disclosures that are aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standard \(ESRS\). This includes, an outline of the results of our ESRS-aligned double materiality assessment, and disclosure of the scenarios utilized to complete qualitative and quantitative climate scenario analysis. While the Sustainability Report may not currently provide stakeholders with all the information sought through the frameworks referenced above; we continue to evolve and enhance our disclosure as our collection and validation of the applicable data improves. While the ISSB and SASB Auto Parts frameworks primarily address climate-related factors, our Sustainability Report aims to go beyond such items to give stakeholders a better understanding of the broad range of environmental, social and governance \(ESG\) initiatives that define our approach to sustainable value creation.
For convenience, we have repeated below a summary of ISSB, SASB and other metrics appearing in our Sustainability Report. However, we encourage readers to read the full report to gain a full understanding of the ESG factors that define our approach to sustainability.

–
met in camera without Management present.
–

The Audit Committee is satisfied that it has carried out its duties and responsibilities in accordance with its Charter.
Mandate
The Audit Committee’s primary role is to satisfy itself on behalf of shareholders that the company’s financial statements are accurate in all material respects and can be relied upon by shareholders.

The only change to the Audit Committee composition during 2025 was the appointment of Peter Sklar to the Audit Committee in connection with his appointment to the Board in February 2025.
In appointing members to the Audit Committee, the Board considers the relevant expertise brought to the Audit Committee by each member, including through the financial leadership and oversight experience gained by each of them in their principal occupations and/or other boards on which they serve.
