March 7, 2005

Dear Shareholder:

        On behalf of management and our Board of Directors, we are pleased to invite you to attend the special meeting of holders of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of Intier Automotive Inc. ("Intier"), to be held in the Upper Canada Room, 18th Floor, Fairmont Royal York Hotel, 100 Front Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Wednesday, March 30, 2005, commencing at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time).

        The purpose of the special meeting is to consider and vote upon a special resolution to approve a proposal from our parent company, Magna International Inc. ("Magna"), to privatize Intier by way of a court approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). If the Arrangement is approved and completed, Intier will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magna and holders of Intier's Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be entitled to receive for each share held by them:

        (i)    0.41 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share; or

        (ii)   at the election of the holder, cash equal to 0.41 times the volume-weighted average trading price of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days ending immediately before the effective date of the Arrangement (but the amount of cash will be proportionately reduced if all cash elections would result in the amount of cash elected exceeding Cdn$125 million in total, in which case holders who elected cash will receive cash and Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares).

        Magna proposed the Arrangement primarily for strategic reasons to adapt to changing automotive industry conditions by better positioning Magna's automotive operations, including those carried on by Intier, to compete and grow on a global basis. Magna's reasons for the Arrangement are described in detail in the accompanying Management Information Circular/Proxy Statement (the "Circular"). On October 25, 2004, in addition to its announcement of the proposed privatization of Intier, Magna announced that it had made separate proposals to privatize its two other public subsidiaries, Decoma International Inc. ("Decoma") and Tesma International Inc. ("Tesma"). Each privatization transaction, including the Arrangement, is independent of the others and is not conditional upon the completion of the others. The privatization of Tesma was completed effective February 6, 2005. The privatization of Decoma received shareholder approval on February 28, 2005 and, subject to court approval, it is expected that the privatization of Decoma will become effective on March 6, 2005.

        Intier's Board of Directors appointed a special committee of independent directors (the "Special Committee") to extensively consider the Arrangement. The Special Committee engaged RBC Dominion Securities ("RBC") to prepare a formal valuation of Intier's Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and to provide an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration being offered under the Arrangement to shareholders of Intier other than Magna and its affiliates or associates. Subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and conditions set forth in its valuation and opinion, RBC has concluded that the consideration being offered under the Arrangement is inadequate, from a financial point of view, to shareholders of Intier other than Magna and its affiliates or associates. Notwithstanding this conclusion, based on the recommendation of the Special Committee, Intier's Board of Directors has authorized the submission of the Arrangement to Intier's shareholders without making a recommendation to shareholders as to how they should vote in respect of the Arrangement. A copy of RBC's valuation and opinion is included in the Circular. In addition to the opinion of RBC, the Special Committee and Intier's Board of Directors have identified a number of other important factors, such as the lack of liquidity of Intier's Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and the unlikelihood of any other third party offer, which shareholders should consider in determining how to vote in respect of the Arrangement. Accordingly, shareholders should carefully review and consider the



Arrangement and the considerations identified by the Special Committee and Intier's Board of Directors, as described in the Circular, and reach their own conclusions as to whether to vote for or against the Arrangement.

        The Circular also contains other important information about the Arrangement, including a description of the business of Magna, a copy of the formal valuation and opinion, the conditions to the implementation of the Arrangement, including court and regulatory approvals, and a discussion of tax considerations. For the Arrangement to proceed, it must be approved at the special meeting by not less than 662/3% of the votes cast by holders of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, voting separately as a class, as well as by a simple majority of the votes cast by "minority" shareholders.

        If, like most shareholders, you are not a registered shareholder but hold your Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares through an intermediary, such as a securities dealer or broker, bank or trust company, you will receive separate instructions on how to vote and how to make a cash election. In that case, you should carefully follow the instructions sent out in any communication provided to you.

        If you are a registered shareholder and are unable to attend the special meeting in person, you may vote by completing and returning the enclosed form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions in the Circular and the Proxy. If you want to elect to receive cash, you must complete and return the Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form (printed on yellow paper) in accordance with the instructions in the Circular and the Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 28, 2005. Should you fail to do so, your cash election will be invalid and if the transaction is approved and completed you will be entitled to receive only Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

        The Arrangement is an extremely important matter for Intier and you as shareholders, and we urge you to vote. We look forward to seeing you at the special meeting on March 30, 2005.

        Yours truly,

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF
HOLDERS OF CLASS A SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES

        NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting (the "Meeting") of holders of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares ("Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares") of Intier Automotive Inc. ("Intier" or the "Corporation") will be held in the Upper Canada Room, 18th Floor, Fairmont Royal York Hotel, 100 Front Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on Wednesday, March 30, 2005, commencing at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time), for the following purposes:

    1.
    in accordance with the interim order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice dated February 28, 2005 (the "Interim Order"), to consider and, if determined advisable, to pass, with or without amendment, a special resolution (the "Arrangement Resolution"), the full text of which is set out in Exhibit A to the accompanying Management Information Circular/Proxy Statement (the "Circular"), approving an arrangement (the "Arrangement") under section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA") of Intier, the purpose of which is to effect the acquisition by Magna International Inc. ("Magna") of all the outstanding Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares not already owned, directly or indirectly, by Magna, all as more particularly described in the Circular; and

    2.
    to transact such further or other business or matters as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

        Only holders of record of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at the close of business on February 24, 2005 are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to attend and vote at the Meeting, except that: (i) in accordance with applicable law, a transferee of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares acquired after such date will be entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting if such transferee produces properly endorsed share certificates or otherwise establishes ownership of such shares and has demanded in writing at least 10 days before the day of the Meeting that the name of such transferee be included in the list of registered shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting; and (ii) a holder of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issued by the Corporation after the record date in connection with the exercise of options to acquire Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares or conversion rights to acquire Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting if such holder establishes ownership of such shares to the satisfaction of the Secretary of the Corporation or the chairman of the Meeting prior to the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

        A registered holder of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares who is unable to attend the Meeting in person and who wishes to ensure that its shares will be voted at the Meeting is requested to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions set out in the form of proxy and the Circular. In order to be effective, a proxy must be mailed, couriered or delivered so as to reach or be deposited with Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1, Attention: Proxy Department, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 28, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting.

        A substantial number of the Corporation's shareholders do not hold their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in their own names. Such Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares may be beneficially owned by a person but registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary such as, among others, a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or the trustee or administrator of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, RESP or similar plan; or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the intermediary is a participant. If Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are shown in an account statement

i



provided to a shareholder by the intermediary, in almost all cases those Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will not be registered in the name of the shareholder in the records of the Corporation. Please note that only proxies deposited by registered shareholders can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. As a consequence, non-registered shareholders should read the instructions provided to them regarding how to vote at or attend the Meeting.

        Pursuant to the Interim Order, a registered holder of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares may dissent in respect of the Arrangement Resolution by following the dissent procedures set out in the Circular. If the Arrangement is approved and completed, dissenting shareholders who comply strictly with the dissent procedures will be entitled to be paid the fair value of their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. Failure to adhere strictly to the requirements and procedures set out in the Interim Order, the Circular, the OBCA (as modified by the Interim Order) and the Plan of Arrangement may result in the loss or unavailability of any right to dissent.

        DATED at Newmarket, Ontario on March 7, 2005.

        BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Secretary

INTIER AUTOMOTIVE INC.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR/PROXY STATEMENT FOR
SPECIAL MEETING OF HOLDERS OF CLASS A SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES


GENERAL INFORMATION

        Certain capitalized terms used in this Circular that are not otherwise defined have the respective meanings set out under "Glossary of Key Terms". All summaries of, and references to, the Arrangement Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and the Valuation and Opinion are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of these documents attached as Exhibits to this Circular. Shareholders are urged to read carefully the full text of these Exhibits. No person has been authorized to give any information or make any representation in connection with the matters to be considered at the Meeting other than as contained or incorporated by reference in this Circular and, if so given or made, any such information or representation should not be relied upon. This Circular does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, any securities or the solicitation of a proxy by any person in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized, or in which the person making such an offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so, or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation.


INFORMATION RELATING TO MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.

        All information (including financial information) contained or incorporated by reference in this Circular relating to Magna has been provided to Intier by Magna, and Magna has confirmed the accuracy of this information. The Intier Board has relied upon such information without having made independent inquiries as to the accuracy or completeness thereof; however, the Intier Board has no reason to believe such information is misleading or inaccurate. Neither the Intier Board nor Intier assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information, nor for any omission on the part of Magna to disclose facts or events which may affect the accuracy or completeness of any such information.


NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS NOT RESIDENT IN CANADA

        The Arrangement involves the issuance of securities of Magna, a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. This Circular has been prepared by Intier in accordance with disclosure requirements under applicable Ontario and Canadian law. Non-resident shareholders should be aware that these requirements may be different from those of the United States or other jurisdictions. The financial statements incorporated by reference in this Circular have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of companies organized in the United States or in other jurisdictions.

        Non-resident shareholders should be aware that the terms of the Arrangement as described in this Circular may have tax consequences both in Canada and in the jurisdiction of residence of the shareholder. The tax consequences arising under the laws of a country other than Canada or the United States are not discussed in this Circular.

        The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under United States federal and state securities laws may be adversely affected by the fact that Intier and Magna are organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada, that almost all of the officers and directors of Intier and Magna are residents of Canada or other jurisdictions outside of the United States, and that a substantial portion of the assets of Intier and Magna are located outside of the United States. It may be difficult to compel Ontario corporations, such as Intier and Magna, to subject themselves to a judgment issued by a court of the United States.

        The issuance of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement has not been approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or by any state securities commission or regulatory authority, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Circular. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

iii




DOLLAR AMOUNTS; CURRENCY OF INFORMATION; FISCAL YEARS

        Unless otherwise stated in this Circular, all references to dollar amounts are to United States dollars, all information is given as of February 18, 2005 and all references to fiscal years (including references to "fiscal" followed by a specific year) refer to the one-year period ended on December 31 in that year.

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

        This Circular contains or incorporates by reference statements that, to the extent that they are not recitations of historical fact, may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may include financial and other projections, as well as statements regarding Intier's or Magna's future plans, objectives or economic performance, or the assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. In this Circular, the use of words such as "may", "would", "could", "will", "likely", "expect", "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "plan", "forecast", "project", "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Persons reading this Circular are cautioned that such statements are only predictions and that the Corporation's and Magna's actual future results or performance may be materially different. In evaluating such forward-looking statements, readers should specifically consider the various risk factors which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, specific risks relating to the Corporation's and Magna's relationship with their customers, the automotive industry in general and the economy as a whole. In respect of Intier, readers are referred to the discussion of "Risk Factors" set out in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2003, wherein certain of the above risk factors are discussed in further detail. In respect of Magna, such risks specifically include, without limitation, those risk factors set out in this Circular and the documents incorporated by reference in this Circular and, in particular, those factors set out in Item 3 "Description of Business — Risk Factors" in Magna's Annual Information Form attached as Exhibit 1 to Magna's Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Corporation and Magna expressly disclaim any intention and undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Circular to reflect subsequent information, events, circumstances or otherwise.


EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933

        Magna will not register with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued by Magna in connection with the Arrangement, relying on the exemption from such registration provided by section 3(a)(10) of the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"). Section 3(a)(10) exempts from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act securities that are issued in transactions approved by a court, after a hearing on the fairness of the terms and conditions of such issuance.

SUMMARY

        The following is a summary of certain information contained in this Circular and should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information appearing or incorporated by reference in this Circular. Certain capitalized terms used in this summary are defined in the Glossary of Key Terms in this Circular. Shareholders are urged to read this Circular, the materials incorporated by reference herein and the Exhibits hereto carefully and in their entirety.

Date, Time and Place of Meeting

        The Meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) in the Upper Canada Room, 18th Floor, Fairmont Royal York Hotel, 100 Front Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Record Date

        The Record Date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting is February 24, 2005. Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on February 24, 2005 are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to attend and vote at the Meeting, except that: (i) in accordance with applicable law, a transferee of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares acquired after the Record Date will be entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting if such transferee produces properly endorsed Share Certificates or otherwise establishes ownership of such shares and has demanded, in writing not later than 10 days before the day of the Meeting, that the name of such transferee be included in the list of registered Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting; and (ii) a holder of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issued by the Corporation after the Record Date, in connection with the exercise of Intier Options or conversion rights to acquire Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, will be entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting if such Shareholder establishes ownership of such shares to the satisfaction of the Secretary of the Corporation or the chairman of the Meeting prior to the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

        A substantial number of Shareholders do not hold their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in their own name. Such Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares may be beneficially owned by a person but registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary such as, among others, a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or trustee or administrator of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, RESP or similar plan; or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS) of which the intermediary is a participant. If Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are shown in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by the intermediary, in almost all cases those Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will not be registered in the name of the Shareholder in the records of the Corporation. Please note that only proxies deposited by registered Shareholders can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. As a consequence, non-registered Shareholders should read the instructions provided to them regarding how to vote at or attend the Meeting.

Special Business to be Conducted at the Meeting

        At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if determined advisable, to pass, with or without amendment, the Arrangement Resolution, the full text of which is attached as Exhibit A to this Circular. For the purposes of determining whether the Arrangement Resolution has received necessary Shareholder approval, the votes will also be tabulated based upon the votes cast by Minority Shareholders. See "Shareholder Approvals Required."

Terms of the Arrangement

        The following summary of the Plan of Arrangement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Plan of Arrangement.

        The Plan of Arrangement contemplates that Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders, Magna and Magna Subco) will receive, for each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share held by them, either 0.41 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share or, where specifically so elected by a Shareholder in the Letter of Transmittal, cash (in Canadian currency) equal to 0.41 times the volume-weighted average trading price of the

5



Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX for the five consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day immediately before the Effective Date of the Arrangement. As of the date of this Circular, the Effective Date of the Arrangement is expected to be April 3, 2005.

        The cash payment amount is limited to an aggregate of Cdn$125 million. If all Cash Elections by Shareholders desiring to receive cash exceed Cdn$125 million, the amount of cash such Shareholders will receive will be proportionately reduced. Where the cash amount is reduced, Shareholders who elected cash will receive Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in lieu of the applicable reduction in the cash amount. Subject to this limit on cash payments, a Shareholder may elect to receive cash for all or a portion of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by such Shareholder.

        Under the Arrangement, all Shareholders (other than Magna, Magna Subco, Dissenting Shareholders or Tendering Shareholders) will be Amalgamating Shareholders (see definition of "Amalgamating Shareholder" in the Glossary of Key Terms), meaning, generally, Shareholders who are residents of Canada and subject to tax for Canadian income tax purposes. The Arrangement has been structured so that Amalgamating Shareholders will receive an automatic "rollover" (deferral of capital gain or capital loss) for Canadian income tax purposes for Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares exchanged for Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. Specifically, each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share held by an Amalgamating Shareholder (except to the extent a Shareholder has made a Cash Election) will, on the Amalgamation, be converted into one Amalco Special Share, and each such Amalco Special Share will, as part of the Arrangement, be exchanged for 0.41 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share.

        Where an Amalgamating Shareholder elects, in the Letter of Transmittal, to receive a cash payment for all or a portion of its Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share in respect of which an Amalgamating Shareholder has made a Cash Election will, on the Amalgamation, be converted into one Amalco Redeemable Preferred Share (subject to the Cdn$125 million aggregate maximum for all Shareholders making Cash Elections), and each such Amalco Redeemable Preferred Share will, as part of the Arrangement, be redeemed for a cash amount equal to 0.41 multiplied by the Average Market Price of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

        Tendering Shareholders are Shareholders (other than Magna, Magna Subco and Dissenting Shareholders) who have identified themselves as being exempt from tax for Canadian income tax purposes or non-residents of Canada, generally including United States Holders (as defined under "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations"), for Canadian income tax purposes (see definition of "Tendering Shareholder" in the Glossary of Key Terms). In order to be a Tendering Shareholder, a Shareholder must so indicate in its Letter of Transmittal. Failure to so indicate will result in the Shareholder being deemed to be an Amalgamating Shareholder. A Tendering Shareholder will (except to the extent that a Shareholder is entitled to receive cash pursuant to the cash offer) receive 0.41 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share for each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share transferred to Magna Subco under the Arrangement.

        Where a Tendering Shareholder elects, in the Letter of Transmittal, to receive a cash payment for all or a portion of its Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, such Tendering Shareholder will receive (subject to the Cdn$125 million aggregate maximum for all Shareholders making Cash Elections), on completion of the Arrangement, a cash amount for each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share in respect of which a Tendering Shareholder has made a Cash Election transferred to Magna Subco under the Arrangement equal to 0.41 multiplied by the Average Market Price of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

        For the tax treatment applicable to a Shareholder, see "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations".

        Shareholders whose Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are registered either (a) in the name of an intermediary such as, among others, a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker or the trustee or administrator of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, RESP or similar plan, or (b) in the name of a clearing agency, such as CDS, of which the intermediary is a participant, should contact that intermediary for instructions as to how to elect to receive cash and how to deliver such Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

6



        Any Shareholder who, in respect of any Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by such Shareholder, (i) does not deposit with the Depositary, a duly completed Letter of Transmittal (or Notice of Guaranteed Delivery) prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 28, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting, or (ii) fails to complete the Letter of Transmittal making a Cash Election, will be deemed NOT to have made a Cash Election in respect of their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and will be entitled to receive only the Share Consideration as consideration for each of the Shareholder's Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

        Fractional Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will not be issued or delivered in connection with the Arrangement. Where a Shareholder is to receive Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and the aggregate number of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued or delivered to such Shareholder would otherwise include a fraction of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share, the Shareholder will receive, in lieu of the fractional share, a cash payment equal to the fraction of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share otherwise issuable or deliverable multiplied by the Average Market Price.

Background to the Arrangement

        On October 22, 2004, after the close of trading on the TSX, Vincent J. Galifi, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Magna, and Jeffrey O. Palmer, Executive Vice President of Magna, met at Intier's head offices in Newmarket, Ontario with Donald J. Walker, Intier's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer; Michael E. McCarthy, Intier's Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer; and Bruce R. Cluney, Intier's Secretary. At that meeting, Messrs. Galifi and Palmer delivered Magna's written proposal for privatizing Intier at a price of 0.3847 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share for each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share. Messrs. Galifi and Palmer informed Intier, at that time, that Magna was intending to make privatization proposals involving its two other public subsidiaries, Decoma and Tesma, but each proposed privatization transaction was independent of the others and not conditional upon completion of the others.

        On October 22 and 23, 2004, Messrs. Walker, McCarthy and Cluney communicated the Magna proposal for privatizing Intier to each of the "outside" directors on the Intier Board (Messrs. Flavio Cotti, Neil G. Davis, Louis E. Lataif, Edward C. Lumley, Rudolf Streicher and Lawrence Worrall) and discussed with each of them the general contents of the press release that would be required to be issued by the Corporation to announce the receipt of Magna's proposal. At the same time, a telephone conference call meeting for the full Intier Board was scheduled for October 26, 2004 to consider, among other things, the establishment of a special committee of independent directors to review and consider the Arrangement.

        On October 25, 2004, before the opening of trading on the TSX, Magna issued a press release announcing the three separate privatization proposals. Intier issued its own press release, on the same date, in respect of Magna's privatization proposal for Intier.

Magna's Reasons for the Arrangement

        Magna has advised the Corporation that it proposed the Arrangement primarily for strategic reasons to adapt to changing automotive industry conditions by better positioning Magna's automotive operating groups, including Intier, to compete and grow on a global basis. Although Magna has also announced its intention to privatize its two other public subsidiaries, Decoma and Tesma, each privatization transaction, including the Arrangement, is independent of the others and not conditional upon completion of the others. The privatization of Tesma was completed effective February 6, 2005. The privatization of Decoma received shareholder approval on February 28, 2005 and, subject to Court approval, it is expected that the privatization of Decoma will become effective on March 6, 2005. Magna's reasons for proposing the Arrangement include the following:

        Improved Strategic Positioning.    Following completion of the Arrangement, Magna (including Intier as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magna) will be better positioned to meet its customers' needs for larger and increasingly complex modules and systems for vehicle interior and closure modules and systems, by being able to more readily and more seamlessly combine the product development and manufacturing capabilities of Intier

7



with those of Magna's other automotive groups. Examples of such joint efforts include Intier's ability to work more closely with Decoma and Magna Steyr on future lift-gate and roof module opportunities and Intier's ability to work more closely with Decoma, Cosma International and Magna Donnelly on the development of door module products. As OEM vehicle engineering and assembly have evolved, customer needs have shifted from simple components to larger, more sophisticated, and highly-engineered systems and modules with increased content and features. These systems and modules are increasingly crossing Magna's and Intier's traditional product lines. With the increased flexibility to align its businesses following the completion of the Arrangement, Magna believes that it will be better positioned to capitalize on door and roof module development and supply opportunities.

        Exploit Magna's Competencies.    The Arrangement will allow Magna to more fully exploit the various competencies that exist within Magna, particularly its complete vehicle expertise at Magna Steyr. With its vast product portfolio, Magna has substantial depth of knowledge in design, engineering and development, systems testing and manufacturing using a wide variety of techniques, materials and processes. Moreover, Magna Steyr's complete vehicle engineering and design capability includes the vehicle's interior, exterior, powertrain and drivetrain, as well as complete electric and electronic architecture. Consequently, Magna Steyr has an in-depth understanding of how the vehicle's various systems interact, as well as extensive systems integration and complete vehicle assembly experience. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magna, Intier should be able to better access and leverage such expertise and knowledge to capitalize on Magna Steyr's engineering, testing and complete vehicle assembly capabilities.

        Alignment of Product Portfolio.    The Arrangement will also provide Magna with the opportunity to better align its product portfolio where it has similar capabilities and technological and product competencies in different automotive operating groups, such as between Intier and Magna Donnelly in door handles and certain electronic modules. Through acquisitions, such as Magna's 2002 acquisition of Donnelly Corporation, as well as the convergence of technologies, Magna has acquired similar expertise in different operating groups that could be more effectively aligned with the product offerings of Intier. Some of these overlapping product areas are capital-intensive or require significant design and engineering expertise and are expected to continue to converge in the future. As a result of the completion of the Arrangement, Magna should be able to achieve various operational synergies through the alignment of these capabilities.

        Avoid Duplication of Investment.    As Magna expands into new markets and further broadens its customer base, Magna believes that the Arrangement will enable it to avoid duplication of investment in infrastructure and development costs in new markets such as China, Korea and India. Magna also views the more efficient corporate structure resulting from the Arrangement as a way to enhance Magna's identity as a single source supplier to OEMs, which, in turn, will better position Magna (and all of its automotive operations, including Intier) in those markets where Magna has strong brand recognition. This is particularly important to customers who prefer dealing with single source suppliers.

        Magna remains committed to its philosophy of decentralized, autonomous operating groups and group-level long-term incentive arrangements to continue to empower management and motivate employees. Magna intends to continue to apply this philosophy to Intier's operations following the completion of the Arrangement.

Intier's Review of the Arrangement: The Special Committee

        On October 26, 2004, the Intier Board, after reviewing the terms of Magna's privatization proposal, discussed the potential composition of the special committee to be appointed to consider the Arrangement and authorized Mr. Worrall in advance of the establishment of the Special Committee to pursue certain preliminary matters such as the selection of advisors to the Special Committee. On November 2, 2004, the Intier Board established the Special Committee to review and consider the Arrangement. At that time, the Intier Board appointed Messrs. Worrall (Chairman) and Davis to the Special Committee. The Intier Board confirmed that neither of Messrs. Worrall nor Davis had any interest in the Arrangement, other than an interest as a director of Intier, as a Shareholder and as a holder of Intier Options. Each of the members of the Special Committee was

8



determined by the Intier Board to be independent of Magna. Mr. Davis had served as a director of Decoma, an affiliate of the Corporation which also received a privatization proposal from Magna, but resigned his position at Decoma on November 1, 2004.

        The Special Committee's mandate was to review and consider the Arrangement and to make recommendations to the Intier Board regarding the Arrangement. The Special Committee was authorized to retain its own advisors, including legal and financial advisors, to assist it in the performance of its duties.

        The Special Committee engaged Davies as its independent legal advisor, and RBC as its independent financial advisor to prepare a formal valuation of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and to provide an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration being offered under the Arrangement to Non-Magna Shareholders.

        In the course of its review and evaluation of the proposed Arrangement, the Special Committee held formal meetings on 10 occasions, and conducted informal consultations with Intier management and RBC and Davies on numerous occasions.

        On November 9, 2004, the Special Committee met with RBC, Davies and members of Intier's management, and on November 23, 2004, the Special Committee met with RBC and Davies, to discuss preliminary matters and valuation considerations. On November 11, 2004, Mr. Worrall, together with RBC, met with Magna and its financial advisor, CIBC World Markets, to discuss preliminary valuation matters.

        On December 3, 2004, RBC, together with the financial and legal advisors to Tesma and Decoma, held a formal oral due diligence session with senior management of Magna. Messrs. Worrall and Davis, and Davies attended this session.

        On December 7, 2004, the Special Committee met with RBC and Davies. At this meeting, RBC presented to the Special Committee the results of its preliminary valuation analysis which indicated that, based on RBC's preliminary valuation analysis, the price being offered by Magna implied by the initial share exchange ratio of 0.3847 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share for each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share was below the preliminary range of values for the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares determined by RBC. As such, RBC stated that it expected it would not be in a position to deliver an opinion that the consideration to be received by Non-Magna Shareholders under the proposed Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Non-Magna Shareholders.

        On December 13, 2004, Mr. Worrall contacted Mr. Galifi of Magna, and advised Magna that based on RBC's preliminary valuation analysis, the price being offered by Magna was below the preliminary range of values for the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares determined by RBC and that RBC expected that it would not be in a position to deliver an opinion that the consideration to be received by Non-Magna Shareholders under the proposed Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Non-Magna Shareholders. The Special Committee requested that Magna reconsider the terms of the proposed Arrangement and improve the value of Magna's proposal.

        On December 16, 2004, Mr. Worrall, together with RBC, met with Messrs. Galifi, Palmer, Pat McCann and Michael Hardman of Magna to discuss the respective valuation methodologies employed by RBC and by CIBC World Markets, financial advisor to Magna, for the purposes of valuing Intier.

        On January 4, 2005, the Special Committee met with RBC. At this meeting, RBC presented to the Special Committee the differences in the valuation methodologies employed by RBC and by CIBC World Markets for the purposes of valuing Intier. The principal differences between the valuation methodologies employed by RBC and by CIBC World Markets related to (a) the discount rate employed for the purposes of the discounted cash flow analysis (including differences in the equity risk premium and the application of a size premium by CIBC World Markets), (b) the range of EBITDA multiples selected under the precedent transactions analysis and (c) the treatment of the affiliation fee payable by Intier to Magna.

        On January 5, 2005, Mr. Worrall contacted Mr. Galifi of Magna to highlight the principal differences between the valuation methodologies employed by RBC and CIBC World Markets and to review potential structural alternatives to the proposed Arrangement.

9



        On January 19, 2005, Messrs. Worrall and Davis met with Messrs. Galifi and Palmer of Magna. At this meeting, Messrs. Galifi and Palmer provided the views of Magna and CIBC World Markets on various aspects of RBC's valuation methodologies.

        On January 24, 2005, Messrs. Worrall and Davis met with Mr. Galifi of Magna. At this meeting Mr. Galifi indicated that Magna was willing, subject to the approval of the Magna Special Committee, (i) to consider an increase in the consideration for the proposed Arrangement from 0.3847 to 0.4050 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share for each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share, and (ii) to support the declaration of a dividend in respect of the first two months of 2005, in addition to the normal dividend in respect of the fourth quarter of 2004 (assuming closing of the proposed Arrangement prior to the record date for the dividend in respect of the first quarter of 2005).

        On January 27, 2005, RBC met with CIBC World Markets to discuss and clarify their respective valuation methodologies.

        From January 5, 2005 to January 27, 2005, the Special Committee met on five occasions to provide updates to and receive updates from its advisors, and to discuss alternative transaction structures and negotiations with Magna.

        On February 2, 2005, Messrs. Worrall and Davis, together with Davies, met with Messrs. Galifi, Palmer and Royden Richardson, the Chair of the Magna Special Committee. At this meeting, Magna indicated that it was willing to consider a further increase in the consideration for the proposed Arrangement from 0.4050 to 0.41 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share for each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share, subject to the approval of the Magna Special Committee.

        On February 9, 2005, the Special Committee met with RBC and Davies to receive the Valuation and Opinion and to make the recommendations discussed below.

Valuation and Opinion

        RBC, the independent valuator retained by the Special Committee in connection with its consideration of the Arrangement, prepared the Valuation and Opinion in accordance with Rule 61-501 and Policy Q-27. Shareholders are urged to read the Valuation and Opinion, the full text of which is attached as Exhibit F to this Circular, carefully and in its entirety.

        Based upon and subject to the analyses, assumptions, qualifications and limitations discussed in the Valuation and Opinion, RBC advised the Special Committee that, in its opinion, as at February 9, 2005, the fair market value of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares was in the range of $35.00 to $40.00 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share and the consideration being offered under the Arrangement is inadequate, from a financial point of view, to Non-Magna Shareholders.

Determination and Recommendations of the Special Committee

        At a meeting of the Special Committee held on February 9, 2005, the Special Committee unanimously determined to recommend that the Intier Board:

    (a)
    authorize the Corporation to enter into the Arrangement Agreement;

    (b)
    submit the Arrangement Resolution to a vote of the Shareholders at the Meeting; and

    (c)
    make no recommendation to Non-Magna Shareholders as to how they should vote in respect of the Arrangement Resolution but advise Non-Magna Shareholders they should take into account the considerations described below under "Reasons for the Recommendations of the Special Committee" in determining how to vote in respect of the Arrangement Resolution.

10


Reasons for the Recommendations of the Special Committee

        In making its recommendations above, the Special Committee considered various factors, including the factors set out below:

    The Valuation concludes that the fair market value of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares is in the range of $35.00 to $40.00 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share.

    The Opinion concludes that the consideration offered by Magna under the Arrangement is inadequate, from a financial point of view, to Non-Magna Shareholders.

    The value of the consideration being offered to Non-Magna Shareholders is $31.06 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share, based on the closing price of $75.75 per Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share on the NYSE on February 8, 2005. This value represents a premium of approximately 53% over the volume-weighted average price of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares based on Intier's combined trading volume on the TSX and NASDAQ over the 30 trading days prior to the announcement of the Arrangement and a premium of approximately 50% over the closing price of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on NASDAQ on October 22, 2004 (the last trading day before the proposed Arrangement was announced). Since the proposed Arrangement was announced on October 25, 2004, the closing price of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on the NYSE has ranged from $68.77 to $82.80, implying a range of prices under the Arrangement from $28.20 to $33.95 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share. Prior to the announcement of the Arrangement, the all-time high for the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares was $21.05.

    The Valuation was prepared in accordance with Rule 61-501 and Policy Q-27. Rule 61-501 and Policy Q-27 require that the Valuation be prepared on an en bloc basis and, accordingly, the Valuation does not include any downward adjustment to reflect:

    the liquidity of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares;

    the effect of the Arrangement on the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares; or

    the fact that the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by Non-Magna Shareholders do not form part of a controlling interest (such that the Valuation does not reflect any minority discount attributable to the fact that as at February 18, 2005, only 14.8% of Intier's equity is owned by persons other than Magna).

    The Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are relatively illiquid. Prior to the announcement of the Arrangement, it took an average of approximately 420 trading days to turn over the public float based on Intier's combined trading volume on the TSX and NASDAQ.

    While a sale of Intier's assets in an orderly fashion or an en bloc sale of all the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to a third party or some other similar transaction could result in greater consideration being paid to Non-Magna Shareholders than that offered under the Arrangement, no such transaction could occur without Magna's approval as it has a controlling interest in Intier. Accordingly, the Special Committee notes that the methodology required to be applied, and in fact applied, in the preparation of the Valuation reflects a course of events that is unlikely to occur as a practical matter.

    The impact of differing assumptions in determining the value of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, including the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis (including the equity risk premium and the application of a size premium), the range of EBITDA multiples selected under the precedent transactions analysis and the treatment of the affiliation fee payable by Intier to Magna.

    The Arrangement provides Non-Magna Shareholders with an opportunity to dispose of their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at a significant premium to pre-announcement prices.

    Since the Arrangement was announced on October 25, 2004, the closing price of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on NASDAQ has ranged between $25.90 and $31.65. The closing price of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on NASDAQ ranged between $19.25 and $20.94 in the 30 days

11


      prior to the date of announcement of the Arrangement and between $15.71 and $20.94 in the six months prior to announcement. If the Arrangement is not completed, there can be no assurance that the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will trade in the range within which they have traded since October 25, 2004 or in the range of values suggested in the Valuation and Opinion. Although Intier's favourable financial results from the third and fourth quarters of 2004 may have exceeded market expectations, it is difficult to quantify what effect such results would have had on the market price of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares absent the Arrangement.

    As a practical matter, if the Arrangement is not approved, Non-Magna Shareholders interested in selling their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be left with only two options: (i) sell the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares into the market at the then prevailing market price or (ii) sell the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in a private transaction.

    If Non-Magna Shareholders are not provided with an opportunity to vote on whether Intier proceeds with the Arrangement, Magna could unilaterally proceed with an offer directly to Non-Magna Shareholders. If Magna acquired some but not all of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in connection with such offer, the liquidity of the remaining Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares would be further impaired.

    The Arrangement provides Non-Magna Shareholders who receive Share Consideration with an opportunity to participate indirectly in the growth and success of Intier as a wholly-owned automotive operating group of Magna. In addition, Non-Magna Shareholders who receive share consideration and continue to hold their Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will benefit from any dividends paid by Magna, including its regular quarterly dividends.

    The Arrangement provides Non-Magna Shareholders who receive Share Consideration with an opportunity to participate in Magna's significantly larger market capitalization and higher trading volumes. Specifically:

    as at February 18, 2005, the market capitalization of Magna's public float was approximately $7.8 billion, compared to approximately $145.6 million for Intier; and

    Magna's average daily combined trading volume on the TSX and the NYSE in 2004 was 418,447 Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares compared to Intier's average daily combined trading volume on the TSX and NASDAQ of 20,362 Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

    For Canadian federal income tax purposes, Amalgamating Shareholders will benefit from a tax deferred rollover in respect of their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to the extent that they receive Share Consideration under the Arrangement.

    Magna's reasons for proposing the Arrangement and the risks and potential rewards associated with Intier continuing to execute its business and strategic plan as an independent entity, as an alternative to the Arrangement.

    The fact that the terms of the Arrangement Agreement do not prohibit the Intier Board from taking any action that would be consistent with its obligation to properly discharge its fiduciary duties.

    Whether or not the value of the consideration offered under the Arrangement fully reflects the en bloc value of Intier, Non-Magna Shareholders should be provided with an opportunity to vote on whether Intier proceeds with the Arrangement and therefore determine whether to accept the consideration offered by Magna for the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

    Regardless of the outcome of the Meeting, Magna will reimburse Intier for costs incurred in connection with the Arrangement, including the fees of RBC and the costs of calling and holding of the Meeting, in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

12


    The following procedural protections are in place in connection with the approval of the Arrangement:

    the directors of Intier who are not independent of Magna or its affiliates have abstained from voting in respect of the Arrangement Agreement;

    in order to be effective, the Arrangement must be approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast at the Meeting by Shareholders and by a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by Minority Shareholders;

    in order to become effective, the Arrangement must be approved by the Court. In considering whether to approve the Arrangement, the Court will consider the fairness of the Arrangement to Minority Shareholders; and

    Shareholders will have the right to dissent in respect of the Arrangement Resolution and receive the fair value of their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, in cash, through a court proceeding. In such proceedings, a court could determine that the fair value of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares is more than, equal to, or less than the value of the consideration offered under the Arrangement.

        The foregoing list of factors to consider is not intended to be exhaustive. In addition, the Special Committee did not assign any relative or specific weights to the factors above.

Recommendation of the Intier Board

        The Intier Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Corporation to submit the Arrangement Resolution to a vote of the Shareholders. In making this determination, Messrs. Galifi, Lumley and Siegfried Wolf, having declared their interests in the Arrangement as directors and/or senior officers of Magna, abstained from voting. At a meeting of the Intier Board held on February 9, 2005, the Intier Board authorized the Corporation to enter into the Arrangement Agreement. The Arrangement Agreement was signed on February 9, 2005.

        In accordance with the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Intier Board has authorized the submission of the Arrangement Resolution to a vote of the Shareholders without making a recommendation to Non-Magna Shareholders as to how they should vote in respect of the Arrangement Resolution. Accordingly, Shareholders should carefully review and consider the Arrangement and the considerations identified by the Special Committee and the Intier Board, as described above under "Reasons for the Recommendations of the Special Committee" and reach their own conclusion as to whether to vote for or against the Arrangement Resolution.


The Intier Board makes no recommendation as to how Non-Magna Shareholders
should vote in respect of the Arrangement Resolution.



Shareholder Approvals Required

        The Interim Order provides that, for the Arrangement to be implemented, the Arrangement Resolution must be passed, with or without amendment, by:

    (a)
    662/3% of the votes cast by Shareholders, voting separately as a class, at the Meeting in person or by proxy;

    (b)
    a simple majority of the votes cast by Minority Shareholders voting at the Meeting in person or by proxy;

    (c)
    a written resolution of all holders of Intier Class B Shares, voting separately as a class; and

    (d)
    a written resolution of all holders of Intier Convertible Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class.

        Magna (together with its affiliates) currently holds all of the outstanding Intier Class B Shares and Intier Convertible Preferred Shares. Magna has agreed that it will vote, or cause to be voted, all such Intier Shares in

13



favour of the Arrangement Resolution. Magna has also advised the Corporation that, prior to the Meeting, it will convert such number of Intier Convertible Preferred Shares held by it into Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to achieve the result that, if the Arrangement Resolution is approved by a majority of the votes cast by Minority Shareholders, it will also be approved by at least 662/3% of the votes cast by Shareholders, voting separately as a class.

Court Approval

        The Arrangement requires Court approval under the OBCA. Prior to mailing this Circular, Intier obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and certain other procedural matters. If the Arrangement Resolution is approved by Shareholders in the manner required by the Interim Order, the hearing in respect of the Final Order will take place on or about April 1, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) in the Court located at 393 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario. At the hearing for the Final Order, the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Arrangement to Minority Shareholders.

The Corporation Following the Arrangement

        Following the completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magna.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

        An Amalgamating Shareholder who does not elect to receive Cash Elected Consideration will not realize a capital gain (or capital loss) as a result of the Arrangement and will acquire Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at a cost equal to the adjusted cost base of the holder's Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares exchanged on the Arrangement. An Amalgamating Shareholder may realize a capital gain (or capital loss) in respect of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares for which it elects to receive Cash Elected Consideration.

        A Tendering Shareholder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the total of the fair market value of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares received on the exchange plus any cash received by the Tendering Shareholder exceeds (or is exceeded by) the Tendering Shareholder's adjusted cost base of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares immediately before the exchange. However, Tendering Shareholders (being Shareholders who have identified themselves as being non-residents of Canada or exempt from Canadian income tax under Part I of the ITA) will generally not be subject to Canadian income tax on any such gain.

        The foregoing is qualified by the more detailed summary in this Circular. See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations".

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

        A United States Holder (as defined under "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations") will generally be required to recognize a gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the Arrangement in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares received in the Arrangement and (ii) such holder's adjusted tax basis in its Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares transferred in the Arrangement.

        The foregoing is qualified by the more detailed summary in this Circular. See "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations".

Right to Dissent

        Pursuant to the Interim Order, registered Shareholders have the right to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution in the manner provided in section 185 of the OBCA (as modified by the Interim Order) and the Plan of Arrangement. A Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled, if the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid by Magna the fair value of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder determined as at the close of business on the day before the Arrangement Resolution is adopted.

14



        A registered Shareholder who wishes to exercise its Dissent Right must provide a written objection to the Arrangement Resolution (a "Dissent Notice") to Intier Automotive Inc., 521 Newpark Boulevard, Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, L3Y 4X7, Attention: Secretary, facsimile number 905-898-6053 not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 29, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting. It is important that registered Shareholders strictly comply with this requirement, as it is different from the statutory dissent provisions of the OBCA that would otherwise permit a Dissent Notice to be provided at or prior to the Meeting. Failure to comply strictly with the dissent procedures set out in the Interim Order may result in the loss or unavailability of a Shareholder's dissent rights.

        The obligation of Magna to complete the Arrangement is subject to the condition that Shareholders representing 10% or more of the number of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding on the date of the Arrangement Agreement will not have exercised Dissent Rights that have not been withdrawn.

Stock Exchange Listings

        Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are listed on the TSX and the NYSE. Magna has filed applications with the TSX and the NYSE to list the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement and upon the exercise of Magna Replacement Options and Intier Continuing Options. The TSX and the NYSE have conditionally approved the listing of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, subject to the satisfaction of the customary requirements of the TSX and the NYSE, respectively. The Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be delisted from the TSX and NASDAQ after the Effective Time.

Effective Time

        Assuming all conditions precedent to the completion of the Arrangement as set out in the Arrangement Agreement have been either satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit of such conditions precedent, the Arrangement will be effective at 12:01 a.m. (Toronto time) on the Effective Date, which is expected to be April 3, 2005

INFORMATION REGARDING THE MEETING

Date, Time and Place of Meeting

        The Meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 commencing at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) in the Upper Canada Room, 18th Floor, Fairmont Royal York Hotel, 100 Front Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Record Date

        The Record Date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting is February 24, 2005. Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on February 24, 2005 are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to attend and vote at the Meeting, except that: (i) in accordance with applicable law, a transferee of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares acquired after the Record Date will be entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting if such transferee produces properly endorsed Share Certificates or otherwise establishes ownership of such shares and has demanded, in writing not later than 10 days before the day of the Meeting, that the name of such transferee be included in the list of registered Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting; and (ii) a holder of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issued by the Corporation after the Record Date in connection with the exercise of Intier Options or conversion rights to acquire Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, will be entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting if such Shareholder establishes ownership of such shares to the satisfaction of the Secretary of the Corporation or the chairman of the Meeting prior to the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Special Business to be Conducted at the Meeting

        At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if determined advisable, to pass, with or without amendment, the Arrangement Resolution, the full text of which is attached as Exhibit A to this Circular. For the purposes of determining whether the Arrangement Resolution has received necessary Shareholder approval, the votes will also be tabulated based upon the votes cast by Minority Shareholders. See "Shareholder Approvals Required".

Solicitation of Proxies

        This Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of management of the Corporation for use at the Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set out in the accompanying Notice. The information contained herein is given as at February 18, 2005, unless indicated otherwise. This Circular, the Notice, the accompanying form of proxy, the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery are being mailed on or about March 7, 2005 to Shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date. Except as described below, the Corporation will bear all costs associated with the preparation and mailing of this Circular, the Notice, the accompanying form of proxy, the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery as well as the costs of the solicitation of proxies. The solicitation will be primarily by mail. However, officers and regular employees of the Corporation may also solicit proxies (but not for additional compensation) personally, by telephone or other means of electronic transmission. Magna may solicit proxies on behalf of management of the Corporation in respect of the Arrangement Resolution. Any solicitation undertaken by Magna in this regard will be at Magna's expense. Banks, brokerage houses and other custodians and nominees or fiduciaries will be requested to forward proxy solicitation material to their principals and to obtain authorizations for the execution of proxies, and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses in doing so. In accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, at Magna's direction, Intier has retained Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Canada, Inc. ("Georgeson"), including its U.S. affiliate, Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc., to solicit proxies from Shareholders. Georgeson will be paid a proxy solicitation program management fee of Cdn$25,000, a success fee of Cdn$20,000 for attaining a sixty per cent or greater vote response by Minority Shareholders, a success fee of a further Cdn$15,000 for attaining a seventy-five percent or greater vote response by Minority Shareholders and a retail Shareholder call fee of Cdn$6.00 per call. Intier has agreed to reimburse Georgeson for disbursements and GST where applicable. Under the Arrangement Agreement, Magna has agreed to bear the costs and expenses incurred by the Corporation in using the services of dealers and proxy solicitation agents,

18



including Georgeson, to solicit proxies at Magna's direction in respect of the Arrangement Resolution. See "Arrangement Agreement — Expenses".

Appointment of Proxies

        The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy are Donald J. Walker, Michael E. McCarthy and Bruce R. Cluney, each of whom is a representative of management of the Corporation. Each Shareholder has the right to appoint a person, other than the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy, who need not be a shareholder of the Corporation, to attend and act for and on behalf of the Shareholder at the Meeting. This right may be exercised by inserting such person's name in the blank space provided in the accompanying form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy.

        A proxy must be in writing, must be dated the date on which it is executed, must be executed by the Shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of that corporation and, if the proxy is to apply to less than all the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares registered in the name of the Shareholder, must specify the number of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to which it is to apply. A proxy will not be valid unless the form of proxy is delivered to the office of Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1, Attention: Proxy Department, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 28, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting. In addition, Computershare provides both telephone and internet voting as described on the proxy itself which contains complete instructions.

Non-Registered Shareholders

        These Meeting materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. If you are a non-registered owner, and Intier or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding such shares on your behalf.

        By choosing to send these materials to you directly, Intier (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

        Only registered Shareholders, or the persons that they appoint as their proxies, are permitted to attend and vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares beneficially owned by a person (a "Non-Registered Holder") are registered either:

    (a)
    in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, such as, among others, a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or the trustee or administrator of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, RESP or similar plan; or

    (b)
    in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS) of which an Intermediary is a participant.

        In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 — Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer, Intier is delivering the Meeting materials directly to its Non-Registered Holders who are non-objecting beneficial owners of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares ("NOBOs"), and will distribute copies of the Meeting materials to the Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders who are objecting beneficial owners ("OBOs") of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

        As a result, NOBOs can expect to receive a scannable voting instruction form ("VIF") from the Corporation's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada or Computershare Investor Services Inc. (collectively called "Computershare"). These VIFs are to be completed and returned to Computershare not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 28, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting, in each case, in the envelope provided. In addition, Computershare provides both

19



telephone voting and internet voting as described on the VIF itself which contains complete instructions. If a NOBO wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the NOBO's behalf), the NOBO must complete, sign and return the VIF in accordance with the directions provided and a form of proxy giving the right to attend and vote at the Meeting will be forwarded by Computershare to the NOBO. Computershare will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the shares represented by the VIFs Computershare receives.

        Generally, OBOs will receive either a voting instruction form or, less frequently, a form of proxy. OBOs should follow the procedures set out below, depending on which type of form they receive.

    (a)
    Voting Instruction Form.    In most cases, an OBO will receive, as part of the Meeting materials, a voting instruction form. If the OBO does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the Non-Registered Holder's behalf), the voting instruction form must be completed, signed and returned in accordance with the directions on the form. Voting instruction forms in some cases permit the completion of the voting instruction form by telephone or through the internet. If an OBO wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the OBO's behalf), the OBO must complete, sign and return the voting instruction form in accordance with the directions provided and a form of proxy giving the right to attend and vote at the Meeting must be forwarded by the Intermediary to the OBO.

    (b)
    Form of Proxy.    Less frequently, an OBO will receive, as part of the Meeting materials, a form of proxy that has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares beneficially owned by the OBO but which is otherwise uncompleted. If an OBO does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the OBO's behalf), the OBO must complete the form of proxy and deposit it with Computershare Trust Company of Canada as described above. If an OBO wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the OBO's behalf), the OBO must strike out the names of the persons named in the proxy and insert the OBO's (or such other person's) name in the blank space provided.

Revocation of Proxies

        A registered Shareholder who has given a proxy has the power to revoke it as to any matter on which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by such proxy and may do so:

    (a)
    by delivering another properly executed form of proxy bearing a later date to Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1, Attention: Proxy Department, no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 28, 2005 or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting;

    (b)
    by depositing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy executed by the Shareholder or by the Shareholder's attorney authorized in writing:

    (i)
    at the registered office of the Corporation at 521 Newpark Boulevard, Newmarket, Ontario, Canada L3Y 4X7, addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation, at any time up to and including the last Business Day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, at which the proxy is to be used; or

    (ii)
    with the chairman of the Meeting, prior to its commencement, on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof; or

    (c)
    in any other manner permitted by law.

        Non-Registered Holders should contact their Intermediaries should they wish to revoke a VIF (or a proxy).

20



Voting of Shares Represented by Management Proxies

        Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares represented by properly executed proxies in favour of the management representatives named in the accompanying form of proxy will be voted on any ballot that may be called for and, where the person whose proxy is solicited specifies a choice with respect to the matters identified in the proxy, the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be voted in accordance with the specifications so made. Where Shareholders have properly executed proxies in favour of the management representatives named in the accompanying form of proxy and have not specified in the form of proxy the manner in which the named proxies are required to vote the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares represented thereby, such Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be voted FOR the approval of the Arrangement Resolution. The accompanying form of proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. At the date hereof, Intier knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Voting Securities and Principal Holders of Intier Shares

        As of the Record Date, there were 7,522,614 Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding. Shareholders are entitled to cast one vote per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share held by them on the Arrangement Resolution and any other matter that may properly come before the Meeting. Shareholders are entitled to vote as a separate class on the Arrangement Resolution.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE ARRANGEMENT

Background to the Arrangement

        On October 22, 2004, after the close of trading on the TSX, Vincent J. Galifi, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Magna, and Jeffrey O. Palmer, Executive Vice President of Magna, met at Intier's head offices in Newmarket, Ontario with Donald J. Walker, Intier's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer; Michael E. McCarthy, Intier's Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer; and Bruce R. Cluney, Intier's Secretary. At that meeting, Messrs. Galifi and Palmer delivered Magna's written proposal for privatizing Intier at a price of 0.3847 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share for each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share. Messrs. Galifi and Palmer informed Intier, at that time, that Magna was intending to make privatization proposals involving its two other public subsidiaries, Decoma and Tesma, but each proposed privatization transaction was independent of the others and not conditional upon completion of the others.

        On October 22 and 23, 2004, Messrs. Walker, McCarthy and Cluney communicated the Magna proposal for privatizing Intier to each of the "outside" directors on the Intier Board (Messrs. Flavio Cotti, Neil G. Davis, Louis E. Lataif, Edward C. Lumley, Rudolf Streicher and Lawrence Worrall) and discussed with each of them the general contents of the press release that would be required to be issued by the Corporation to announce the receipt of Magna's proposal. At the same time, a telephone conference call meeting for the full Intier Board was scheduled for October 26, 2004 to consider, among other things, the establishment of a special committee of independent directors to review and consider the Arrangement.

        On October 25, 2004, before the opening of trading on the TSX, Magna issued a press release announcing the three separate privatization proposals. Intier issued its own press release, on the same date, in respect of Magna's privatization proposal for Intier.

Magna's Reasons for the Arrangement

        Magna has advised the Corporation that it proposed the Arrangement primarily for strategic reasons to adapt to changing automotive industry conditions by better positioning Magna's automotive operating groups, including Intier, to compete and grow on a global basis. Although Magna has also announced its intention to privatize its two other public subsidiaries, Decoma and Tesma, each privatization transaction, including the Arrangement, is independent of the others and not conditional upon completion of the others. The Tesma privatization was completed effective February 6, 2005. The Decoma privatization obtained shareholder approval on February 28, 2005 and, subject to Court approval, it is expected that the privatization of Decoma will become effective on March 6, 2005. Magna's reasons for proposing the Arrangement include the following:

        Improved Strategic Positioning.    Following completion of the Arrangement, Magna (including Intier as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magna) will be better positioned to meet its customers' needs for larger and increasingly complex modules and systems for vehicle interior and closure modules and systems by being able to more readily and more seamlessly combine the product development and manufacturing capabilities of Intier with those of Magna's other automotive groups. Examples of such joint efforts include Intier's ability to work more closely with Decoma and Magna Steyr on future lift-gate and roof module opportunities and Intier's ability to work more closely with Decoma, Cosma International and Magna Donnelly on the development of door module products. As OEM vehicle engineering and assembly have evolved, customer needs have shifted from simple components to larger, more sophisticated, and highly-engineered systems and modules with increased content and features. These systems and modules are increasingly crossing Magna's and Intier's traditional product lines. With the increased flexibility to align its businesses following the completion of the Arrangement,

22



Magna believes that it will be better positioned to capitalize on door and roof module development and supply opportunities.

        Exploit Magna's Competencies.    The Arrangement will allow Magna to more fully exploit the various competencies that exist within Magna, particularly its complete vehicle expertise at Magna Steyr. With its vast product portfolio, Magna has substantial depth of knowledge in design, engineering and development, systems testing and manufacturing using a wide variety of techniques, materials and processes. Moreover, Magna Steyr's complete vehicle engineering and design capability includes the vehicle's interior, exterior, powertrain and drivetrain, as well as complete electric and electronic architecture. Consequently, Magna Steyr has an in-depth understanding of how the vehicle's various systems interact, as well as extensive systems integration and complete vehicle assembly experience. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magna, Intier should be able to better access and leverage such expertise and knowledge to capitalize on Magna Steyr's engineering, testing and complete vehicle assembly capabilities.

        Alignment of Product Portfolio.    The Arrangement will also provide Magna with the opportunity to better align its product portfolio where it has similar capabilities and technological and product competencies in different automotive operating groups, such as between Intier and Magna Donnelly in door handles and certain electronic modules. Through acquisitions, such as Magna's 2002 acquisition of Donnelly Corporation, as well as the convergence of technologies, Magna has acquired similar expertise in different operating groups that could be more effectively aligned with the product offerings of Intier. Some of these overlapping product areas are capital-intensive or require significant design and engineering expertise and are expected to continue to converge in the future. As a result of the completion of the Arrangement, Magna should be able to achieve various operational synergies through the alignment of these capabilities.

        Avoid Duplication of Investment.    As Magna expands into new markets and further broadens its customer base, Magna believes that the Arrangement will enable it to avoid duplication of investment in infrastructure and development costs in new markets such as China, Korea and India. Magna also views the more efficient corporate structure resulting from the Arrangement as a way to enhance Magna's identity as a single source supplier to OEMs, which, in turn, will better position Magna (and all of its automotive operations, including Intier) in those markets where Magna has strong brand recognition. This is particularly important to customers who prefer dealing with single source suppliers.

        Magna remains committed to its philosophy of decentralized, autonomous operating groups and group-level long-term incentive arrangements to continue to empower management and motivate employees. Magna intends to continue to apply this philosophy to Intier's operations following the completion of the Arrangement.

Intier's Review of the Arrangement: The Special Committee

        On October 26, 2004, the Intier Board, after reviewing the terms of Magna's privatization proposal, discussed the potential composition of the special committee to be appointed to consider the Arrangement and authorized Mr. Worrall in advance of the establishment of the Special Committee to pursue certain preliminary matters such as the selection of advisors to the Special Committee. On November 2, 2004, the Intier Board established the Special Committee to review and consider the Arrangement. At that time, the Intier Board appointed Messrs. Worrall (Chairman) and Davis to the Special Committee. The Intier Board confirmed that neither of Messrs. Worrall nor Davis had any interest in the Arrangement, other than an interest as a director of Intier, as a Shareholder and as a holder of Intier Options. Each of the members of the Special Committee was determined by the Intier Board to be independent of Magna. Mr. Davis had served as a director of Decoma, an affiliate of the Corporation which also received a privatization proposal from Magna, but resigned his position at Decoma on November 1, 2004.

        The Special Committee's mandate was to review and consider the Arrangement and to make recommendations to the Intier Board regarding the Arrangement. The Special Committee was authorized to retain its own advisors, including legal and financial advisors, to assist it in the performance of its duties.

23



        The Special Committee engaged Davies as its independent legal advisor and RBC as its independent financial advisor, to prepare a formal valuation of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and to provide an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration being offered under the Arrangement to Non-Magna Shareholders.

        In the course of its review and evaluation of the proposed Arrangement, the Special Committee held formal meetings on 10 occasions, and conducted informal consultations with Intier management and RBC and Davies on numerous occasions.

        On November 9, 2004, the Special Committee met with RBC, Davies and members of Intier's management, and on November 23, 2004, the Special Committee met with RBC and Davies, to discuss preliminary matters and valuation considerations. On November 11, 2004, Mr. Worrall, together with RBC, met with Magna and its financial advisor, CIBC World Markets, to discuss preliminary valuation matters.

        On December 3, 2004, RBC, together with the financial and legal advisors to Tesma and Decoma, held a formal oral due diligence session with senior management of Magna. Messrs. Worrall and Davis, and Davies attended this session.

        On December 7, 2004, the Special Committee met with RBC and Davies. At this meeting, RBC presented to the Special Committee the results of its preliminary valuation analysis which indicated that, based on RBC's preliminary valuation analysis, the price being offered by Magna implied by the initial share exchange ratio of 0.3847 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share for each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share was below the preliminary range of values for the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares determined by RBC. As such, RBC stated that it expected it would not be in a position to deliver an opinion that the consideration to be received by Non-Magna Shareholders under the proposed Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Non-Magna Shareholders.

        On December 13, 2004, Mr. Worrall contacted Mr. Galifi of Magna, and advised Magna that based on RBC's preliminary valuation analysis, the price being offered by Magna was below the preliminary range of values for the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares determined by RBC and that RBC expected that it would not be in a position to deliver an opinion that the consideration to be received by Non-Magna Shareholders under the proposed Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Non-Magna Shareholders. The Special Committee requested that Magna reconsider the terms of the proposed Arrangement and improve the value of Magna's proposal.

        On December 16, 2004, Mr. Worrall, together with RBC, met with Messrs. Galifi, Palmer, Pat McCann and Michael Hardman of Magna to discuss the respective valuation methodologies employed by RBC and by CIBC World Markets, financial advisor to Magna, for the purposes of valuing Intier.

        On January 4, 2005, the Special Committee met with RBC. At this meeting, RBC presented to the Special Committee the differences in the valuation methodologies employed by RBC and by CIBC World Markets for the purposes of valuing Intier. The principal differences between the valuation methodologies employed by RBC and by CIBC World Markets related to (a) the discount rate employed for the purposes of the discounted cash flow analysis (including differences in the equity risk premium and the application of a size premium by CIBC World Markets), (b) the range of EBITDA multiples selected under the precedent transactions analysis and (c) the treatment of the affiliation fee payable by Intier to Magna.

        On January 5, 2005, Mr. Worrall contacted Mr. Galifi of Magna to highlight the principal differences between the valuation methodologies employed by RBC and CIBC World Markets and to review potential structural alternatives to the proposed Arrangement.

        On January 19, 2005, Messrs. Worrall and Davis met with Messrs. Galifi and Palmer of Magna. At this meeting, Messrs. Galifi and Palmer provided the views of Magna and CIBC World Markets on various aspects of RBC's valuation methodologies.

        On January 24, 2005, Messrs. Worrall and Davis met with Mr. Galifi of Magna. At this meeting Mr. Galifi indicated that Magna was willing, subject to the approval of the Magna Special Committee, (i) to consider an increase in the consideration for the proposed Arrangement from 0.3847 to 0.4050 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share for each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share, and (ii) to support the declaration

24



of a dividend in respect of the first two months of 2005, in addition to the normal dividend in respect of the fourth quarter of 2004 (assuming closing of the proposed Arrangement prior to the record date for the dividend in respect of the first quarter of 2005).

        On January 27, 2005, RBC met with CIBC World Markets to discuss and clarify their respective valuation methodologies.

        From January 5, 2005 to January 27, 2005, the Special Committee met on five occasions to provide updates to and receive updates from its advisors, and to discuss alternative transaction structures and negotiations with Magna.

        On February 2, 2005, Messrs. Worrall and Davis, together with Davies, met with Messrs. Galifi, Palmer and Royden Richardson, the Chair of the Magna Special Committee. At this meeting, Magna indicated that it was willing to consider a further increase in the consideration for the proposed Arrangement from 0.4050 to 0.41 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share for each Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share, subject to the approval of the Magna Special Committee.

        On February 9, 2005, the Special Committee met with RBC and Davies to receive the Valuation and Opinion and to make the recommendations discussed below.

Determination and Recommendations of the Special Committee

        At a meeting of the Special Committee held on February 9, 2005, the Special Committee unanimously determined to recommend that the Intier Board:

    (a)
    authorize the Corporation to enter into the Arrangement Agreement;

    (b)
    submit the Arrangement Resolution to a vote of the Shareholders at the Meeting; and

    (c)
    make no recommendation to Non-Magna Shareholders as to how they should vote in respect of the Arrangement Resolution but advise Non-Magna Shareholders they should take into account the considerations described below under "Reasons for the Recommendations of the Special Committee" in determining how to vote in respect of the Arrangement Resolution.

Reasons for the Recommendations of the Special Committee

        In making its recommendations above, the Special Committee considered various factors, including the factors set out below:

    The Valuation concludes that the fair market value of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares is in the range of $35.00 to $40.00 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share.

    The Opinion concludes that the consideration offered by Magna under the Arrangement is inadequate, from a financial point of view, to Non-Magna Shareholders.

    The value of the consideration being offered to Non-Magna Shareholders is $31.06 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share, based on the closing price of $75.75 per Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share on the NYSE on February 8, 2005. This value represents a premium of approximately 53% over the volume-weighted average price of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares based on Intier's combined trading volume on the TSX and NASDAQ over the 30 trading days prior to the announcement of the Arrangement and a premium of approximately 50% over the closing price of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on NASDAQ on October 22, 2004 (the last trading day before the proposed Arrangement was announced). Since the proposed Arrangement was announced on October 25, 2004, the closing price of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on the NYSE has ranged from $68.77 to $82.80, implying a range of prices under the Arrangement from $28.20 to $33.95 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share. Prior to the announcement of the Arrangement, the all-time high for the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares was $21.05.

25


    The Valuation was prepared in accordance with Rule 61-501 and Policy Q-27. Rule 61-501 and Policy Q-27 require that the Valuation be prepared on an en bloc basis and, accordingly, the Valuation does not include any downward adjustment to reflect:

    the liquidity of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares;

    the effect of the Arrangement on the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares; or

    the fact that the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by Non-Magna Shareholders do not form part of a controlling interest (such that the Valuation does not reflect any minority discount attributable to the fact that as at February 18, 2005, only 14.8% of Intier's equity is owned by persons other than Magna).

    The Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are relatively illiquid. Prior to the announcement of the Arrangement, it took an average of approximately 420 trading days to turn over the public float based on Intier's combined trading volume on the TSX and NASDAQ.

    While a sale of Intier's assets in an orderly fashion or an en bloc sale of all the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to a third party or some other similar transaction could result in greater consideration being paid to Non-Magna Shareholders than that offered under the Arrangement, no such transaction could occur without Magna's approval as it has a controlling interest in Intier. Accordingly, the Special Committee notes that the methodology required to be applied, and in fact applied, in the preparation of the Valuation reflects a course of events that is unlikely to occur as a practical matter.

    The impact of differing assumptions in determining the value of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, including the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis (including the equity risk premium and the application of a size premium), the range of EBITDA multiples selected under the precedent transactions analysis and the treatment of the affiliation fee payable by Intier to Magna.

    The Arrangement provides Non-Magna Shareholders with an opportunity to dispose of their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at a significant premium to pre-announcement prices.

    Since the Arrangement was announced on October 25, 2004, the closing price of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on NASDAQ has ranged between $25.90 and $31.65. The closing price of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on NASDAQ ranged between $19.25 and $20.94 in the 30 days prior to the date of announcement of the Arrangement and between $15.71 and $20.94 in the six months prior to announcement. If the Arrangement is not completed, there can be no assurance that the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will trade in the range within which they have traded since October 25, 2004 or in the range of values suggested in the Valuation and Opinion. Although Intier's favourable financial results from the third and fourth quarters of 2004 may have exceeded market expectations, it is difficult to quantify what effect such results would have had on the market price of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares absent the Arrangement.

    As a practical matter, if the Arrangement is not approved, Non-Magna Shareholders interested in selling their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be left with only two options: (i) sell the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares into the market at the then prevailing market price or (ii) sell the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in a private transaction.

    If Non-Magna Shareholders are not provided with an opportunity to vote on whether Intier proceeds with the Arrangement, Magna could unilaterally proceed with an offer directly to Non-Magna Shareholders. If Magna acquired some but not all of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in connection with such offer, the liquidity of the remaining Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares would be further impaired.

    The Arrangement provides Non-Magna Shareholders who receive Share Consideration with an opportunity to participate indirectly in the growth and success of Intier as a wholly-owned automotive operating group of Magna. In addition, Non-Magna Shareholders who receive share consideration and continue to hold their Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will benefit from any dividends paid by Magna, including its regular quarterly dividends.

26


    The Arrangement provides Non-Magna Shareholders who receive Share Consideration with an opportunity to participate in Magna's significantly larger market capitalization and higher trading volumes. Specifically:

    as at February 18, 2005 the market capitalization of Magna's public float was approximately $7.8 billion, compared to approximately $145.6 million for Intier; and

    Magna's average daily combined trading volume on the TSX and the NYSE in 2004 was 418,447 Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares compared to Intier's average daily combined trading volume on the TSX and NASDAQ of 20,362 Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

    For Canadian federal income tax purposes, Amalgamating Shareholders will benefit from a tax deferred rollover in respect of their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to the extent that they receive Share Consideration under the Arrangement.

    Magna's reasons for proposing the Arrangement and the risks and potential rewards associated with Intier continuing to execute its business and strategic plan as an independent entity, as an alternative to the Arrangement.

    The fact that the terms of the Arrangement Agreement do not prohibit the Intier Board from taking any action that would be consistent with its obligation to properly discharge its fiduciary duties.

    Whether or not the value of the consideration offered under the Arrangement fully reflects the en bloc value of Intier, Non-Magna Shareholders should be provided with an opportunity to vote on whether Intier proceeds with the Arrangement and therefore determine whether to accept the consideration offered by Magna for the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

    Regardless of the outcome of the Meeting, Magna will reimburse Intier for costs incurred in connection with the Arrangement, including the fees of RBC and the costs of calling and holding of the Meeting, in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

    The following procedural protections are in place in connection with the approval of the Arrangement:

    the directors of Intier who are not independent of Magna or its affiliates have abstained from voting in respect of the Arrangement Agreement;

    in order to be effective, the Arrangement must be approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast at the Meeting by Shareholders and by a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by Minority Shareholders;

    in order to become effective, the Arrangement must be approved by the Court. In considering whether to approve the Arrangement, the Court will consider the fairness of the Arrangement to Minority Shareholders; and

    Shareholders will have the right to dissent in respect of the Arrangement Resolution and receive the fair value of their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, in cash, through a court proceeding. In such proceedings, a court could determine that the fair value of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares is more than, equal to, or less than the value of the consideration offered under the Arrangement.

        The foregoing list of factors to consider is not intended to be exhaustive. In addition, the Special Committee did not assign any relative or specific weights to the factors above.

Independent Valuation and Opinion

        The following constitutes a summary only of the Valuation and Opinion. The Valuation and Opinion have been prepared and provided solely for the use of the Special Committee and the Intier Board and for inclusion in this Circular, and may not be used or relied upon by any other person without the express prior written consent of RBC. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Valuation and Opinion attached as Exhibit F to this Circular.

27



Engagement of RBC

        The Special Committee initially contacted RBC regarding a potential assignment in October 2004, and RBC was formally engaged by the Special Committee pursuant to an agreement between Intier and RBC (the "Engagement Agreement") dated November 5, 2004. The terms of the Engagement Agreement provide that RBC is to be paid $425,000 for the Valuation and Opinion. In addition, RBC is to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to be indemnified by Intier in certain circumstances. The compensation of RBC under the Engagement Agreement does not depend in whole or in part on the conclusions reached in the Valuation and Opinion or the outcome of the Arrangement.

        RBC was instructed by the Special Committee to prepare a formal valuation of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, and to provide an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration offered under the Arrangement to Non-Magna Shareholders.

Credentials of RBC

        RBC is one of Canada's largest investment banking firms, with operations in all facets of corporate and government finance, corporate banking, mergers and acquisitions, equity and fixed income sales and trading and investment research. RBC Capital Markets also has significant operations in the United States and internationally.

Independence of RBC

        RBC has represented to the Special Committee that it is independent and qualified for purposes of Rule 61-501 and Policy Q-27. Based on the Special Committee's own investigation, including its assessment of information provided by RBC as to its qualifications and independence, the Special Committee is satisfied that RBC is independent and qualified to provide the Valuation and Opinion.

        Neither RBC, nor any of its affiliated entities (as such term is defined for the purposes of Rule 61-501 and Policy Q-27) (i) is an associated or affiliated entity or issuer insider (as such terms are defined for the purposes of Rule 61-501 and Policy Q-27) of Intier, Magna or any of their respective associates or affiliates, (ii) is an advisor to Magna in connection with the Arrangement, or (iii) is a manager or co-manager of a soliciting dealer group formed in respect of the Arrangement (or a member of such a group performing services beyond the customary soliciting dealer's functions or receiving more than the per security or per security holder fees payable to the other members of the group). RBC has not been engaged to provide any financial advisory services nor has it participated in any financing involving Intier, Magna or any of their respective associates or affiliates, within the past two years, other than the services provided under the Engagement Agreement and as described in the Valuation and Opinion. In October 2004, RBC was retained by MEC to evaluate a potential financing arrangement with MID in relation to two non-revolving construction loan facilities in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $192 million to fund the reconstruction of facilities at Gulfstream Park racetrack in Florida and The Meadows racetrack in Pennsylvania. In July 2004, RBC was retained by MEC to provide a valuation, in accordance with the requirements of the Rule 61-501 and Policy Q-27, in relation to MID's announced intention to make an offer for all of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of MEC not already owned by MID. On September 16, 2004, prior to the completion of the valuation, MID announced that it would not be proceeding with the offer. In March 2003, RBC was a co-manager for a Cdn$100 million public offering of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures by Decoma.

        There are no understandings, agreements or commitments between RBC and Intier, Magna or any of their respective associates or affiliates with respect to any future business dealings. RBC may, in the future, in the ordinary course of its business, perform financial advisory or investment banking services for Intier, Magna or any of their respective associates or affiliates. Royal Bank of Canada, of which RBC is a wholly-owned subsidiary, provides banking services to Magna, Intier and certain of their affiliates in the normal course of business.

28


        RBC acts as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in major financial markets and, as such, may have had and may in the future have positions in the securities of Intier, Magna or any of their respective associates or affiliates and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such companies or clients for which it received or may receive compensation. As an investment dealer, RBC conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on investment matters, including with respect to Intier, Magna or the Arrangement.

Scope of Review

        In preparing the Valuation and Opinion, RBC reviewed and relied upon, among other things, publicly available information for each of Intier and Magna, Intier's 2005-2007 business plan and financial projections, as well as such other corporate, industry and financial market information, investigations and analyses as RBC considered necessary or appropriate in the circumstances. RBC also held discussions with senior management of each of Intier and Magna.

Assumptions and Limitations

        With the Special Committee's approval and as provided for in the Engagement Agreement, RBC has relied upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all of the financial and other information, data, advice, opinions or representations obtained by it from public sources, senior management of Intier and their consultants and advisors (collectively, the "Information"). The Valuation and Opinion are conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of such Information. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment and except as expressly described in the Valuation and Opinion, RBC has not attempted to verify independently the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any of the Information.

        In preparing the Valuation and Opinion, RBC has made several assumptions, including that all of the conditions required to implement the Arrangement will be met and that the disclosure provided or incorporated by reference in the Circular with respect to Intier, Magna, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates and the Arrangement is accurate in all material respects.

        The Valuation and Opinion are rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at February 9, 2005 and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of Intier and its subsidiaries and affiliates, as they were reflected in the Information and as they have been represented to RBC in discussions with management of Intier. In its analyses and in preparing the Valuation and Opinion, RBC made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of RBC or any party involved in the Arrangement.

        RBC believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying the Valuation or Opinion. The preparation of a valuation or fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis. Neither the Valuation nor the Opinion is to be construed as a recommendation to any Shareholder as to whether to vote in favour of or against the Arrangement.

Definition of Fair Market Value

        For purposes of the Valuation, fair market value means the monetary consideration that, in an open and unrestricted market, a prudent and informed buyer would pay to a prudent and informed seller, each acting at arm's length with the other and under no compulsion to act. RBC has not made any downward adjustment to the value of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to reflect the liquidity of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, the effect of the Arrangement or the fact that the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by Non-Magna Shareholders do not form part of a controlling interest.

Valuation

        RBC valued the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on a going concern basis using a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis and a precedent transactions analysis. RBC also reviewed trading multiples of public companies involved in the automotive parts industry from the perspective of whether a public market analysis might exceed DCF or precedent transaction values for the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. However, RBC concluded that public company multiples implied values that were below the DCF and precedent transaction values. Given the foregoing and that public company values generally reflect minority discount values rather than "en bloc" values, RBC did not rely on this methodology in determining the value of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

        The DCF approach takes into account the amount, timing and relative certainty of projected unlevered free cash flows expected to be generated by Intier. The DCF approach requires that certain assumptions be made regarding, among other things, future cash flows, discount rates and terminal values. The possibility that some of the assumptions will prove to be inaccurate is one factor involved in the determination of the discount rates to be used in establishing a range of values. The results of the DCF approach indicated a range of equity values from $37.42 to $44.38 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share, as at February 9, 2005. At an exchange rate of $0.8025=Cdn$1.00 as at February 8, 2005, the results of the DCF approach indicated a range of equity values from Cdn$46.63 to Cdn$55.30 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share.

        As part of its precedent transactions analysis, RBC reviewed over 60 transactions between 1995 and 2004 in the automotive parts industry in North America and Europe, with an emphasis on North America, including transactions involving either Magna or its subsidiaries. In making its determination, RBC considered the characteristics of the entities involved, including, among other things, product line, size and profitability. The primary multiple used in analyzing these transactions was a multiple of EBITDA. The results of the precedent transactions approach indicated a range of equity values from $32.64 to $37.71 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share, as at February 9, 2005. At an exchange rate of $0.8025=Cdn$1.00 as at February 8, 2005, the results of the precedent transactions approach indicated a range of equity values from Cdn$40.67 to Cdn$46.99 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share.

Valuation Conclusion

        RBC considered the results of both the DCF approach and precedent transactions approach in reaching its value conclusion. Based upon and subject to the analyses and assumptions set out in the Valuation and Opinion, RBC is of the opinion that, as of February 9, 2005, the fair market value of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares is in the range of $35.00 to $40.00 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share. At an exchange rate of $0.8025=Cdn$1.00 as at February 8, 2005, the results of the valuation analysis indicated a range of values from Cdn$43.61 to Cdn$49.84 per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share.

Opinion

        In considering the fairness of the consideration under the Arrangement, from a financial point of view, to Non-Magna Shareholders, RBC principally considered and relied upon (i) an assessment of the value of the consideration per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share under the Arrangement, (ii) a comparison of the value of the consideration per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share under the Arrangement to the range of fair market values of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares under the Valuation, and (iii) a comparison of the range of premiums offered under the Arrangement to premiums paid in recent successful Canadian going private transactions.

Opinion Conclusion

        Based upon and subject to the analyses and assumptions set out in the Valuation and Opinion, RBC is of the opinion that, as of February 9, 2005, the consideration under the Arrangement is inadequate, from a financial point of view, to Non-Magna Shareholders.

Prior Valuation

        Intier is not aware of any "prior valuations", as defined in Rule 61-501 or Policy Q-27, of Intier or its material assets or securities within the 24 month period preceding March 7, 2005.

Recommendation of the Intier Board

        The Intier Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Corporation to submit the Arrangement Resolution to a vote of the Shareholders. In making this determination, Messrs. Galifi, Lumley and Siegfried Wolf, having declared their interests in the Arrangement as directors and/or senior officers of Magna, abstained from voting. At a meeting of the Intier Board held on February 9, 2005, the Intier Board authorized the Corporation to enter into the Arrangement Agreement. The Arrangement Agreement was signed on February 9, 2005.

        In accordance with the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Intier Board has authorized the submission of the Arrangement Resolution to a vote of the Shareholders without making a recommendation to Non-Magna Shareholders as to how they should vote in respect of the Arrangement Resolution. Accordingly, Shareholders should carefully review and consider the Arrangement and the considerations identified by the Special Committee and the Intier Board, as described above under "Reasons for the Recommendations of the Special Committee" and reach their own conclusions as to whether to vote for or against the Arrangement Resolution.

        In aggregate, the directors of the Corporation own or exercise control or direction over approximately 1,054,630 Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.


The Intier Board makes no recommendation as to how Non-Magna Shareholders
should vote in respect of the Arrangement Resolution.



Arrangement Agreement

        The Arrangement, which is being carried out pursuant to section 182 of the OBCA and which will result in Intier becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magna, will be effected in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement.

        Under the Arrangement Agreement, Intier has agreed to apply to the Court for the Interim Order, to call the Meeting to seek the approval of its Shareholders for the Plan of Arrangement, and if approved, to apply to the Court for the Final Order. The following discussion describes certain material provisions of the Arrangement Agreement and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Arrangement Agreement, the full text of which is attached as Exhibit B to this Circular.

Representations and Warranties

        The Arrangement Agreement contains a number of customary representations and warranties of Intier and Magna relating to, among other things, corporate existence, corporate authority and enforceability, capital structure, no violation of organizational documents, material contracts and applicable laws, authorized and outstanding share capital, the absence of any material adverse effect, the absence of undisclosed liabilities, and compliance with continuous disclosure requirements under applicable securities laws. In addition, Intier has represented and warranted to Magna with respect to, among other things, the receipt by the Intier Board of the Valuation and Opinion from RBC, the determination of the Intier Board that the Corporation is authorized to submit the Arrangement Resolution to holders of Intier Shares for their consideration and approval without a recommendation from the Intier Board as to how such holders should vote in respect of the Arrangement Resolution.

        Other than (i) the representations and warranties of Intier relating to the receipt by the Intier Board of the Valuation and Opinion and the determination of the Intier Board to submit the Arrangement Resolution to holders of Intier Shares without its recommendation, (ii) the representation and warranty of Magna relating to the valid issuance of, and the ability to freely trade, the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issuable or

31



deliverable in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, and (iii) the representation and warranty of both Intier and Magna relating to the absence of a material adverse effect, each representation and warranty of Intier and Magna in the Arrangement Agreement is deemed to be true and correct unless any inaccuracy would have a material adverse effect on the relevant company, its business or the completion of the Arrangement. All representations and warranties contained in the Arrangement Agreement and in all certificates delivered pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement will terminate on the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of the Arrangement Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Covenants

        Subject to the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement, Intier and Magna have agreed to complete the Arrangement in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Arrangement. The Arrangement Agreement contains covenants of Intier relating to, among other things, the conduct of Intier's business in all material respects in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice or in accordance with Intier's business plan and the provision of notice to Magna of certain events and other information relating to the Arrangement.

        The Arrangement Agreement also contains covenants of Magna relating to, among other things, the payment of the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of RBC in respect of the Valuation and Opinion, the listing of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issuable in connection with the Arrangement, the provision of notice to Intier of certain events, and the voting of any shares of Intier held by Magna and its subsidiaries in favour of the Arrangement.

Conditions

        The obligation of each party to complete the Arrangement in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement is subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by that party, on or before the Effective Time, of certain specified conditions that are typical for a transaction of this nature, including, among other things:

    the representations and warranties of the other party being true and correct at the Effective Time;

    the other party having in all material respects complied with, and performed its covenants and obligations under, the Arrangement Agreement at or prior to the Effective Time;

    no material adverse effect having occurred in respect of the other party;

    the Arrangement Resolution having been approved by the Shareholders;

    the Interim Order and Final Order having been obtained on terms consistent with the Arrangement;

    the Arrangement Agreement not having been terminated;

    all regulatory approvals having been obtained; and

    the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement having been conditionally approved for listing on the TSX and NYSE and being freely tradeable.

        The obligation of Magna to complete the Arrangement is subject to the further condition that Shareholders representing 10% or more of the number of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding on the date of the Arrangement Agreement will not have exercised Dissent Rights that have not been withdrawn.

Effective Time

        Assuming all conditions precedent to the completion of the Arrangement, as set out in the Arrangement Agreement, have been either satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit of such conditions precedent, the Arrangement will be effective at 12:01 a.m. (Toronto time) on the Effective Date, which is expected to be April 3, 2005.

Expenses

        Magna has agreed to pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by Intier in respect of the Valuation and Opinion and in respect of the solicitation of proxies at Magna's direction. Each of Intier and

32



Magna is otherwise required to bear and pay all other costs, expenses and fees incurred by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement; provided, however, that if Intier is not in default of its obligations under the Arrangement Agreement in any material respect and Intier submits the Arrangement Resolution to Shareholders for their consideration at the Meeting in accordance with the Interim Order, or does not do so because the Arrangement Agreement was terminated (i) by Magna because the Intier Board recommends that Shareholders vote against the Arrangement or solicits proxies against the Arrangement Resolution or (ii) by Intier because Magna is in default of its obligations under the Arrangement Agreement in any material respect, Magna will also reimburse Intier for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Intier in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement up to a maximum of Cdn$2,000,000.

Termination

        If any closing condition in favour of either party to the Arrangement Agreement is not satisfied or waived by it at or before the Effective Time, that party may, by notice to the other party, terminate the Arrangement Agreement and, except as otherwise provided, the obligations of the parties under the Arrangement Agreement. The parties may also terminate the Arrangement Agreement by mutual agreement prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the Meeting (and without further action on the part of the Shareholders if terminated after the Meeting).

        Magna may terminate the Arrangement Agreement if the Intier Board recommends that holders of Intier Shares vote against the Arrangement or solicits proxies against the Arrangement Resolution.

        If the Effective Date has not occurred on or prior to May 31, 2005 or any later date mutually agreed to by Magna and Intier (the "Outside Date"), then unless otherwise agreed in writing, either party may terminate the Arrangement Agreement. A party may not exercise this termination right if any action of that party, or the failure of that party to perform any of its obligations under the Arrangement Agreement required to be performed at or prior to the Effective Time, has resulted in the conditions in favour of Intier or Magna (as applicable) not having been satisfied before the Outside Date.

Remedies

        Except in respect of Magna's undertaking to pay certain expenses, neither Intier nor Magna has any right to recover damages for any losses suffered or incurred as a result of the breach of any covenant, representation, warranty or other provision of the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement and, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled only to seek temporary or permanent injunctive relief for the specific performance of the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement and will not be entitled to any other rights or remedies at law, in equity or otherwise.

Directors and Officers Insurance

        Magna has agreed, from the Effective Time until July 31, 2005, to maintain its existing directors and officers liability insurance coverage for the benefit of the directors and officers of Magna and its subsidiaries, including the current directors and officers of Intier in respect of their activities up to the Effective Time. For the period from August 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006, Magna has agreed to use all reasonable efforts to renew such directors and officers liability insurance coverage on a comparable basis or on a basis consistent in terms of risks insured and policy limits with general industry practices, at the time of such renewal, to the extent that the annual cost of obtaining such renewal insurance does not exceed 200% of the current annual cost of Magna's existing directors and officers liability insurance coverage. Thereafter, until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, Magna may maintain, modify or discontinue such insurance in such manner as may be approved by a majority of its outside directors, in which case any such renewal insurance policy in effect during such period will continue (to the extent available) to benefit the current outside directors of Intier in respect of their activities up to the Effective Time on the same basis as the outside directors of Magna.

33



Indemnification

        To the extent permitted by applicable laws, for a period of six years from the Effective Time, Magna has agreed to indemnify the directors of Intier for any liability incurred by them as a result of the performance of their obligations under the Arrangement Agreement to the extent such liability is not already covered by any directors and officers liability insurance policy or under the articles and by-laws of Intier or any indemnity agreements entered into between Intier and such directors or officers, all of which will continue in force in accordance with their terms.

Terms of the Plan of Arrangement

        The following summary of the Plan of Arrangement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Plan of Arrangement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit C to this Circular.

Share Consideration

        Each Share Consideration Share held by a Tendering Shareholder will be transferred to Magna Subco in exchange for a fraction of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share equal to the Exchange Ratio. Each Share Consideration Share held by an Amalgamating Shareholder will be converted on the Amalgamation into one Amalco Special Share, each of which will be exchanged, as part of the Arrangement, for a fraction of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share equal to the Exchange Ratio.

Cash Election Consideration

        A Tendering Shareholder may elect to transfer all or a portion of its Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to Magna Subco in exchange for a cash amount per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the Average Market Price. An Amalgamating Shareholder may elect to have all or a portion of its Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares converted on the Amalgamation on a one-for-one basis into Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares, each of which will be redeemed, as part of the Arrangement, for a cash amount equal to the Cash Elected Consideration.

        The aggregate Cash Elected Consideration receivable by all Shareholders who make a Cash Election cannot exceed Cdn$125 million. If the aggregate Cash Elected Consideration exceeds Cdn$125 million, the number of Cash Consideration Elected Shares that any Shareholder will be deemed to hold will be the number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the product of (i) the number of Cash Consideration Elected Shares of such Shareholder as set out in such holder's Letter of Transmittal and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is Cdn$125 million and the denominator of which is the Cash Elected Consideration multiplied by the total number of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares for which Shareholders have made Cash Elections in the Letters of Transmittal.

        The Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of any Shareholder that are not, or are deemed not to be, Cash Consideration Elected Shares will be deemed to be Share Consideration Shares.

        The Cash Election will be carried out, subject to the foregoing adjustment, on the basis specified by the Shareholder in its completed Letter of Transmittal. Any Tendering Shareholder or Amalgamating Shareholder who, in respect of any Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by such Shareholder (i) does not deposit with the Depositary, a duly completed Letter of Transmittal (or Notice of Guaranteed Delivery) not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 28, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting, or (ii) fails to complete the Letter of Transmittal making a Cash Election, will be deemed NOT to have made a Cash Election in respect of such Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and will be entitled to receive only the Share Consideration as consideration for each of such Shareholder's Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

        Shareholders whose Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are registered either (a) in the name of an intermediary such as, among others, a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or the trustee or administrator of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, RESP or similar plan, or (b) in the name of a clearing agency, such as CDS, of which the intermediary is a participant, should contact that intermediary for instructions and

34



assistance in completing the Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form and in delivering such Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

Fractional Shares

        Fractional Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will not be issued or delivered in connection with the Arrangement. Where a Shareholder is to receive Share Consideration and the aggregate number of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued or delivered to such Shareholder would otherwise include a fraction of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share, such Shareholder will receive, in lieu of such fractional share, a cash payment equal to the fraction of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share otherwise issuable or deliverable multiplied by the Average Market Price.

Intier Options

        As at February 24, 2005, there were Intier Options outstanding to acquire an aggregate of 3,391,900 Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. All holders of Intier Options will be offered the opportunity to exchange their Intier Options at the Effective Time for Magna Replacement Options. The Magna Replacement Options available to any holder of Intier Options will entitle the holder thereof to purchase that number of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) that is equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon the exercise of Intier Options if such options were exercisable and exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time. It is expected that all directors, officers and employees of Intier will elect prior to the Effective Time to exchange their Intier Options for Magna Replacement Options at the Effective Time. Each such Magna Replacement Option will provide for an exercise price per Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share equal to the exercise price per Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Share of the corresponding Intier Exchange Elected Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest cent). The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising, vesting schedule and all other terms and conditions of such Magna Replacement Option will otherwise be the same as the terms and conditions of such Intier Exchange Elected Option and any document or agreement previously evidencing such Intier Exchange Elected Option will evidence and be deemed to evidence such Magna Replacement Option.

        Each Intier Continuing Option outstanding at the Effective Time will remain outstanding in accordance with its terms and the adjustment provisions in the Intier Continuing Options will thereafter apply. For the purposes of such adjustment provisions as they relate to the Arrangement, each Intier Continuing Option will thereafter entitle the optionholder to purchase from Amalco (as successor to Intier following the completion of the Arrangement), in lieu of the number of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares the optionholder was entitled to purchase upon the exercise of such Intier Continuing Option, but for the same aggregate consideration and on the same terms, the aggregate number (with such adjustment provisions continuing to apply) of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares that the optionholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Arrangement if, immediately before the Effective Time, such optionholder had been the registered holder of the number of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to which such optionholder would have been entitled upon exercise of such Intier Continuing Option if all vesting and other requirements for exercise were then met and those Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares were all Share Consideration Shares.

Letter of Transmittal

        A Letter of Transmittal (printed on yellow paper) is enclosed with this Circular for use by Shareholders for the purpose of (i) the surrender of Share Certificates and (ii) the Cash Election. The details for the surrender of Share Certificates to the Depositary, the addresses of the Depositary and the instructions for making a Cash Election, are set out in the Letter of Transmittal. Provided that a Shareholder has delivered and surrendered to the Depositary all Share Certificates, together with a Letter of Transmittal properly completed and executed in accordance with the instructions on such Letter of Transmittal, and any additional documents, instruments and payments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Shareholder will be entitled to receive, and Magna and Magna Subco will cause the Depositary to deliver, (i) a cheque in Canadian currency representing the cash payment required to be made pursuant to the Arrangement (either directly, in the case of a Tendering Shareholder, or in respect of the proceeds of the redemption of Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares, in the

35



case of an Amalgamating Shareholder) and/or (ii) a certificate representing the number of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issuable or deliverable pursuant to the Arrangement (either directly, in the case of a Tendering Shareholder, or in respect of the exchange of Amalco Special Shares, in the case of an Amalgamating Shareholder).

        Any Tendering Shareholder or Amalgamating Shareholder who, in respect of any Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by the Shareholder (i) does not deposit with the Depositary a properly completed Letter of Transmittal together with the Share Certificates (or a properly completed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery) not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 28, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting, or (ii) fails to complete the Letter of Transmittal making a Cash Election, will be deemed NOT to have made a Cash Election in respect of any such Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and will be entitled to receive only the Share Consideration as consideration for each of the Shareholder's Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

        Shareholders whose Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are registered either (a) in the name of an intermediary such as, among others, a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or the trustee or administrator of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, RESP or similar plan, or (b) in the name of a clearing agency, such as CDS, of which the intermediary is a participant, should contact that intermediary for instructions as to how to elect to receive cash and how to deliver such Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

Notice of Guaranteed Delivery

        Any Shareholder who wishes, in respect of any Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by such Shareholder, to make a Cash Election but whose Share Certificates representing such shares are not available prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 28, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting, or who is unable to deliver all other required documents to the Depositary prior to such time, may nevertheless surrender such shares and make a Cash Election provided that all of the following conditions are met:

    (a)
    the surrender of the Shareholder's Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares is made by or through an Eligible Institution (as defined in the Letter of Transmittal);

    (b)
    a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (printed on green paper) in the form enclosed with this Circular, or an originally executed facsimile copy thereof, properly completed and duly executed, including a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, is received by the Depositary at one of the addresses or the fax number set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 28, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting; and

    (c)
    the Shareholder's Share Certificates, together with the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and executed with any required signature guarantees, covering the Shareholder's Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and all other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, are received by the Depositary not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the third trading day on the TSX following March 28, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the third trading day on the TSX following the second day before the Meeting.

        The details for the surrender of Share Certificates to the Depositary and the instructions for making a Cash Election through the procedures for guaranteed delivery are set out in the Letter of Transmittal.

United States Backup Withholding

        To prevent United States backup withholding tax, each United States Holder or other United States payee must provide the Depositary with such United States Holder's or other such payee's correct taxpayer identification number and certify that such United States Holder or other such payee is not subject to backup withholding by completing Substitute Form W-9 included in the Letter of Transmittal or, if applicable, an appropriate Form W-8 which can be obtained from the Depositary, or provide another adequate basis for an exemption from backup withholding. See "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations".

36



Lost Certificates

        A Shareholder who has lost or misplaced its Share Certificates should complete the Letter of Transmittal as fully as possible and forward it, together with a letter explaining the loss or misplacement, to the Depositary. The Depositary will assist in making arrangements for the necessary affidavit (which may include a bonding requirement) for payment of the Share Consideration or the Cash Elected Consideration, as applicable, in accordance with the Arrangement.

Payment and Delivery of Share Consideration

        At or prior to the Effective Time, Magna will deposit with the Depositary, for the benefit of the Shareholders who are to receive the Share Consideration (either directly, in the case of Tendering Shareholders, or by way of an Amalco Special Share, in the case of Amalgamating Shareholders), certificates representing the whole number of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to be received by each such Shareholder pursuant to the Arrangement.

        At the Effective Time, the register for Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be closed and registered holders of Share Consideration Shares will be deemed to be the holders of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to which they are entitled under the Arrangement. In order to receive certificates representing the Share Consideration, a Shareholder must surrender to the Depositary the Share Certificates for Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares that, under the Arrangement, were (i) transferred to Magna Subco in exchange for Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (in the case of a Tendering Shareholder), or (ii) converted into Amalco Special Shares (in the case of an Amalgamating Shareholder), together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and any additional documents, instruments and payments as the Depositary may reasonably require including, where applicable, a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Upon the surrender to the Depositary of these Share Certificates, Letter of Transmittal and additional documents (if any), the Shareholder will be entitled to receive, and Magna Subco or Amalco, as the case may be, will cause the Depositary either:

    (i)
    to forward or cause to be forwarded by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the Shareholder at the address specified in the Letter of Transmittal; or

    (ii)
    if requested by the Shareholder in the Letter of Transmittal, to make available at the Depositary for pick-up by the Shareholder,

a certificate representing the number of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issuable or deliverable to the Shareholder.

Payment and Delivery of Cash Elected Consideration

        At or prior to the Effective Time, (a) Magna Subco will deposit with the Depositary for the benefit of Shareholders who elected to receive the Cash Elected Consideration (either directly, in the case of Tendering Shareholders, or by way of an Amalco Redeemable Preferred Share, in the case of Amalgamating Shareholders) and (b) Magna Subco and Magna will deposit with the Depositary for the benefit of Tendering Shareholders and Amalgamating Shareholders, respectively, entitled to receive, in lieu of a fraction of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share, a cash payment equal to the fraction of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share otherwise issuable or deliverable multiplied by the Average Market Price, sufficient funds for these purposes by bank transfer or other means satisfactory to the Depositary.

        In order to receive the Cash Elected Consideration, a Shareholder must surrender to the Depositary the Share Certificates, the Letter of Transmittal properly completed and executed in accordance with the Cash Election and other instructions on the form and any additional documents as the Depositary may reasonably require. Upon the surrender to the Depositary of such Share Certificates, the Letter of Transmittal and additional documents (if any), and following the Effective Time, the Shareholder will be entitled to receive, and Magna Subco or Amalco, as the case may be, will cause the Depositary either:

    (i)
    to forward or cause to be forwarded by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the Shareholder at the address specified in the Letter of Transmittal; or

37


    (ii)
    if requested by the Shareholder in the Letter of Transmittal, to make available at the Depositary for pick-up by the Shareholder,

a cheque in Canadian currency representing the payment required to be made to such Shareholder pursuant to the Arrangement. Under no circumstances will interest be paid to any Shareholder on any payment to be made regardless of any delay in making such payment.

Delivery Requirements

        The method of delivery of Share Certificates, the Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the Shareholder surrendering them. The Corporation recommends that such documents be delivered by hand to the Depositary at the office noted in the Letters of Transmittal and a receipt obtained therefor or, if mailed, that registered mail, with return receipt requested, be used and that proper insurance be obtained. Shareholders holding Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares which are registered in the name of an intermediary (such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or the trustee or administrator of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, RESP or similar plan) must contact such intermediary to arrange for the surrender of their Share Certificates.

Shareholder Approvals Required

        The Interim Order provides that, for the Arrangement to be implemented, the Arrangement Resolution must be passed, with or without amendment, by:

    (a)
    662/3% of the votes cast by Shareholders, voting separately as a class at the Meeting in person or by proxy;

    (b)
    a simple majority of the votes cast by Minority Shareholders voting at the Meeting in person or by proxy;

    (c)
    a written resolution of all holders of Intier Class B Shares, voting separately as a class; and

    (d)
    a written resolution of all holders of Intier Convertible Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class.

        Magna (together with its affiliates) currently holds all of the outstanding Intier Class B Shares and Intier Convertible Preferred Shares. Magna has agreed that it will vote, or cause to be voted, all such Intier Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. Magna has also advised the Corporation that, prior to the Meeting, it will convert such number of Intier Convertible Preferred Shares held by it into Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to achieve the result that, if the Arrangement Resolution is approved by a majority of the votes cast by Minority Shareholders, it will also be approved by at least 662/3% of the votes cast by Shareholders, voting separately as a class.

Court Approval of the Arrangement and Completion of the Arrangement

        An arrangement under the OBCA requires Court approval. Prior to the mailing of this Circular, Intier obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and other procedural matters. A copy of each of the Interim Order and the Notice of Application for the Final Order is attached as Exhibit D and Exhibit E, respectively, to this Circular.

        Subject to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Shareholders at the Meeting, the hearing in respect of the Final Order is expected to take place on or about April 1, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) at the Court located at 393 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario.

        Any Shareholder who wishes to appear or be represented and to present evidence or arguments at the hearing in respect of the Final Order must serve and file a notice of appearance, as described in the Notice of Application for the Final Order, and satisfy any other requirements of the Court. In making its determination, the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Arrangement. The Court may approve the Arrangement in any manner that the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court deems fit.

38


        Assuming the Final Order is granted and the other conditions to closing contained in the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived, it is anticipated that the Articles of Arrangement will be filed with the Director to give effect to the Arrangement.

        The Final Order will constitute the basis for an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, pursuant to section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act, with respect to the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement and upon the exercise of Magna Replacement Options and Intier Continuing Options. Prior to the hearing on the Final Order, the Court will be informed of such effect of the Final Order.

Stock Exchange Listings

        Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are listed on the TSX and the NYSE. Magna has filed applications with the TSX and the NYSE to list the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement and upon the exercise of Magna Replacement Options and Intier Continuing Options. The TSX and the NYSE have conditionally approved the listing of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, subject to the satisfaction of the customary requirements of the TSX and the NYSE, respectively. The Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be delisted from the TSX and NASDAQ after the Effective Time.

Resale of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares Received in the Arrangement

        Magna has applied for orders from applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada to exempt, where required, the issuance of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in connection with the Arrangement, and the issuance of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares from time to time upon the exercise of Magna Replacement Options and Intier Continuing Options, from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable Canadian securities legislation and to permit the resale of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares without restriction by persons other than "control persons", subject to customary conditions to such orders, including that no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or to create a demand for the securities that are the subject of any such resale and that no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid in respect of any such resale. The completion of the Arrangement is conditional, among other things, upon the receipt of such orders.

        Any offer to resell, or resale of, Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares received under the Arrangement in the United States by persons who, immediately prior to the Arrangement, were "affiliates" of Magna or Intier, or who, after the Arrangement, will be affiliates of Magna, are subject to restrictions under the 1933 Act. Persons who may be deemed "affiliates" of an issuer generally include individuals or entities that directly, or indirectly through one or more subsidiaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, the issuer, and generally include executive officers, directors and principal shareholders of the issuer. Shareholders should consult their legal advisors with respect to any resale restrictions applicable to them.

Legal Aspects

        The Arrangement is a "business combination" under Rule 61-501 and a "going private transaction" under Policy Q-27 because it involves a transaction that would result in Magna owning all the equity securities of the Corporation. Rule 61-501 and Policy Q-27 provide that, unless exempted, a corporation proposing to carry out a business combination or a going private transaction, respectively, is required to obtain a formal valuation of the affected securities from a qualified and independent valuator and to provide the holders of the affected securities with a summary of such valuation. See "Information Regarding the Arrangement — Independent Valuation and Opinion" and see Exhibit F for a copy of the Valuation and Opinion. Rule 61-501 and Policy Q-27 also require that, in addition to any other required securityholder approval, in order to complete a business combination or a going private transaction, respectively, the approval of a simple majority of the votes cast by "minority" shareholders of each class of affected securities, voting separately as a class, must be obtained. In relation to the Arrangement, the "minority" shareholders of Intier are all Shareholders other than (i) Magna, Magna Subco, Decoma, and Tesma, and their respective directors and senior officers, (ii) any other related party of Magna, Magna Subco, Decoma or Tesma within the meaning of Rule 61-501 and Policy Q-27, subject to the

39



exceptions set out therein, (iii) Donald J. Walker, (iv) the Intier DPSPs, and (v) any person acting jointly or in concert with any of the foregoing other than the Intier DPSPs.

Right to Dissent

        The following is only a summary of the Dissenting Shareholder provisions of the Interim Order, the OBCA and the Plan of Arrangement, which are technical and complex. A copy of the Interim Order is attached as Exhibit D to this Circular and a copy of section 185 of the OBCA is attached as Exhibit G to this Circular. It is recommended that any Shareholder wishing to exercise a Dissent Right seek legal advice as the failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the Interim Order, the Circular, the OBCA (as modified by the Interim Order) and the Plan of Arrangement may result in the loss or unavailability of the Dissent Right.

        Pursuant to the Interim Order, registered Shareholders have the right to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution in the manner provided in section 185 of the OBCA (as modified by the Interim Order), with respect to the timing for providing a written objection to the Arrangement Resolution and the Plan of Arrangement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the Interim Order, the provisions of section 185 of the OBCA (as modified by the Interim Order), and the Plan of Arrangement.

        A Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled, in the event the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid by the Corporation (or its successor by way of amalgamation) the fair value of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder determined as at the close of business on the day before the Arrangement Resolution is adopted. There can be no assurance that such fair value will be greater than or equivalent to the consideration being offered to Shareholders under the Arrangement.

        A Shareholder may only exercise the Dissent Right in respect of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares registered in that Shareholder's name. In addition, a Shareholder may only exercise the Dissent Right with respect to all Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by that Shareholder on behalf of any one beneficial owner. In many cases, the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Holder are registered either: (a) in the name of an Intermediary that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (such as, among others, a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or the trustee or administrator of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, RESP or similar plan); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS) of which an Intermediary is a participant. Accordingly, a Non-Registered Holder will not be entitled to exercise the Dissent Right directly (unless the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are re-registered in the Non-Registered Holder's name). A Non-Registered Holder who wishes to exercise the Dissent Right should immediately contact the Intermediary with whom the Non-Registered Holder deals in respect of its Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and either:

    (i)
    instruct the Intermediary to exercise the Dissent Right on the Non-Registered Holder's behalf (which, if the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are registered in the name of CDS or other clearing agency, would require that the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares first be re-registered in the name of the Intermediary); or

    (ii)
    instruct the Intermediary to request that the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares be registered in the name of the Non-Registered Holder, in which case such holder would have to exercise the Dissent Right directly (that is, the Intermediary would not be exercising the Dissent Right on such holder's behalf).

        A registered Shareholder who wishes to exercise the Dissent Right in respect of the Arrangement Resolution must provide a written objection to the Arrangement Resolution (a "Dissent Notice") to Intier Automotive Inc., 521 Newpark Boulevard, Newmarket, Ontario, Canada L3Y 4X7, Attention: Secretary, facsimile number 905-417-2170 not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 29, 2005, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting. The filing of a Dissent Notice does not deprive a registered Shareholder of the right to vote at the Meeting; however, a registered Shareholder who has submitted a Dissent Notice and who votes in favour of the Arrangement Resolution will no longer be considered a Dissenting Shareholder with respect to the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares voted in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. A vote against the

40


Arrangement Resolution or an abstention will not constitute a Dissent Notice, but a registered Shareholder need not vote its Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares against the Arrangement Resolution in order to dissent. Similarly, the revocation of a proxy conferring authority on the proxy holder to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution does not constitute a Dissent Notice; however, any proxy granted by a registered Shareholder who intends to dissent, other than a proxy that instructs the proxy holder to vote against the Arrangement Resolution, should be validly revoked in order to prevent the proxy holder from voting such Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution and thereby causing the registered Shareholder to forfeit such Shareholder's right to dissent.

        The Corporation is required, within 10 days after the adoption of the Arrangement Resolution, to notify each Dissenting Shareholder that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted, but such notice is not required to be sent to any Shareholder who voted for the Arrangement Resolution or who has withdrawn such Shareholder's Dissent Notice.

        A Shareholder who wishes to exercise the Dissent Right must, within 20 days after receipt of notice that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted or, if such Shareholder does not receive such notice, within 20 days after the Shareholder learns that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted, send to the Corporation a written notice (a "Payment Demand") containing the Shareholder's name and address, the number of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in respect of which the Shareholder dissented, and a demand for payment of the fair value of such Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. Within 30 days after a Payment Demand, the Shareholder must send to the Corporation's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1, Attention: Client Services, Stock Transfer Department, the Share Certificates representing the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in respect of which the Shareholder has dissented. A Shareholder who fails to send the Share Certificates representing the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in respect of which the Shareholder has dissented forfeits such Shareholder's Dissent Right for such Shareholder's Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. The Corporation or its transfer agent will endorse on Share Certificates received from a Shareholder exercising a Dissent Right a notice that the Shareholder is a Dissenting Shareholder and will forthwith return the Share Certificates to the Dissenting Shareholder.

        Upon filing a Dissent Notice that is not withdrawn prior to the termination of the Meeting, provided that the Final Order is granted and not appealed or, if appealed, the appeal is withdrawn or denied, and the Arrangement becomes effective, a Dissenting Shareholder will cease to have any rights as a Shareholder, other than the right to be paid the fair value of its Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, unless:

    (i)
    the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Payment Demand before the Corporation makes a written offer to pay (the "Offer to Pay");

    (ii)
    the Corporation fails to make a timely Offer to Pay to the Dissenting Shareholder and the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws its Payment Demand; or

    (iii)
    the directors of the Corporation revoke the Arrangement Resolution,

in all of which cases the Dissenting Shareholder's rights as a Shareholder will be reinstated and, if the Arrangement becomes effective, such Dissenting Shareholder's Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be subject to the Arrangement and will be deemed to be Share Consideration Shares.

        In addition, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, registered Shareholders who duly exercise their Dissent Right and who: (i) are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid fair value for their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be deemed to have transferred their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to the Corporation as at the Effective Time of the Arrangement; or (ii) are ultimately determined not to be entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as any non-dissenting Tendering Shareholder who did not make a Cash Election and will receive Share Consideration on the basis determined in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

        The Corporation is required, not later than seven days after the later of the Effective Date or the date on which the Corporation received the Payment Demand of a Dissenting Shareholder, to send to each Dissenting

41



Shareholder who has sent a Payment Demand to it, an Offer to Pay for its Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in an amount considered by the Intier Board to be the fair value thereof, accompanied by a statement showing the manner in which the fair value was determined. Every Offer to Pay must be on the same terms. The amount specified in the Offer to Pay which has been accepted by a Dissenting Shareholder will be paid by the Corporation within 10 days after the acceptance by the Dissenting Shareholder of the Offer to Pay, but any such Offer to Pay lapses if the Corporation does not receive an acceptance thereof within 30 days after the Offer to Pay has been made.

        If the Corporation fails to make an Offer to Pay or if a Dissenting Shareholder fails to accept an offer that has been made, the Corporation may, within 50 days after the Effective Date or within such further period as the Court may allow, apply to the Court to fix a fair value for the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of Dissenting Shareholders. If the Corporation fails to apply to the Court, a Dissenting Shareholder may apply to the Court for the same purpose within a further period of 20 days or within such further period as the Court may allow. A Dissenting Shareholder is not required to give security for costs in such an application.

        Upon an application to the Court, all Dissenting Shareholders whose Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares have not been paid for by the Corporation will be joined as parties and bound by the decision of the Court, and the Corporation will be required to notify each affected Dissenting Shareholder of the date, place and consequences of the application and of the Dissenting Shareholder's right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel. Upon any such application to the Court, the Court may determine whether any person is a Dissenting Shareholder who should be joined as a party, and the Court will then fix a fair value for the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of all Dissenting Shareholders. The final order of the Court will be rendered against the Corporation in favour of each Dissenting Shareholder and for the amount of the fair value of such Dissenting Shareholder's Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares as fixed by the Court. The Court may, in its discretion, allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each Dissenting Shareholder from the Effective Date until the date of payment.

        The obligation of Magna to complete the Arrangement is subject to the condition that Shareholders representing 10% or more of the number of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding on the date of the Arrangement Agreement will not have exercised Dissent Rights that have not been withdrawn.

If the Arrangement is not Implemented

        If the Arrangement is not implemented, Intier will continue to operate as a publicly traded subsidiary of Magna. In such event, the Letter of Transmittal completed by a Shareholder will be of no effect and the Depositary will return all surrendered Share Certificates to the holders thereof as soon as practicable.

Expenses of the Arrangement

        The Corporation is required to pay all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the Arrangement subject to Magna's reimbursement obligation described under "Arrangement Agreement — Expenses". The total amount of such costs, expenses and fees, including RBC's fees for the Valuation and Opinion and the cost of soliciting proxies in respect of the Arrangement Resolution, is expected to be approximately Cdn$1.75 million. Magna has agreed to pay, in any event, the reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by Intier in respect of the Valuation and Opinion and in respect of the solicitation of proxies at Magna's direction.


CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        In the opinion of Torys LLP, counsel to the Corporation, the following summary fairly presents the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences under the ITA of the Arrangement generally applicable to Shareholders who, for the purposes of the ITA and at all relevant times, hold their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and will hold their Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, Amalco Special Shares or Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares, as the case may be, as capital property and deal at arm's length, and are not affiliated, with the Corporation, Magna, Magna Subco and Amalco ("Holders"). Such shares generally will constitute capital property to a Holder unless the Holder holds such shares in the course of carrying on a business or has acquired such shares in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade. Certain Holders whose shares might not otherwise qualify as capital property may be entitled, in certain

42



circumstances, to obtain such qualification by making the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the ITA.

        This summary is based on the current provisions of the ITA and the regulations issued thereunder (the "Regulations") and on counsel's understanding of the current published administrative practices of the CRA. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the ITA and the Regulations that have been publicly announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Tax Proposals"), but does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action, or changes in administrative practices of the CRA. No assurances can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted as proposed, if at all. This summary does not take into account the tax legislation of any province or territory of Canada or any non-Canadian jurisdiction.

        The ITA contains certain provisions relating to securities held by certain financial institutions (the "mark to market rules"). This summary does not take into account the mark to market rules and Holders that are financial institutions for the purpose of those rules should consult their own tax advisors.

        The following summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder. Accordingly, Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Holders Resident in Canada

        The following portion of the summary applies to a Holder who is or is deemed to be a resident of Canada for the purposes of the ITA (a "Canadian Holder").

Disposition of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on Arrangement by Tendering Shareholder

        A Canadian Holder who is a Tendering Shareholder will be considered to have disposed of its Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the aggregate of the amount of any cash received on the exchange and the fair market value at that time of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares received on the exchange. The Canadian Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that those proceeds of disposition exceed (or are less than) such Canadian Holder's adjusted cost base of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares immediately before the exchange. The income tax treatment of such gain or loss is discussed below. The cost to the Canadian Holder of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares received on the exchange will be the fair market value of such Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at the time of the exchange, to be averaged, for the purpose of computing such Canadian Holder's adjusted cost base, with the adjusted cost base of any other Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by such Canadian Holder at that time as capital property. Tendering Shareholders (being Shareholders who have identified themselves as being non-residents of Canada or exempt from tax under Part I of the ITA) would generally not be subject to Canadian income tax on any such gain.

Disposition of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on Arrangement by Amalgamating Shareholder

        A Canadian Holder who receives Amalco Special Shares or Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares, as the case may be, on the Amalgamation will realize neither a capital gain nor a capital loss on the Amalgamation. The Canadian Holder will be considered to have disposed of its Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base thereof to the Canadian Holder immediately before the Amalgamation and to have acquired Amalco Special Shares or Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares, as the case may be, at an aggregate cost equal to those proceeds of disposition. Where both Amalco Special Shares and Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares are received, the cost of the shares of each class received will be determined by allocating the aggregate proceeds of disposition between the shares of each class received in proportion to their relative fair market values. See the following discussion of income tax consequences to the Canadian Holder on the redemption of the Canadian Holder's Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares.

43



Disposition of Amalco Special Shares

        Except where the Canadian Holder (in its income tax return for the taxation year that includes the Effective Time) includes in its income any portion of the gain or loss otherwise arising from the exchange, a Canadian Holder who, on the Arrangement, exchanges Amalco Special Shares for Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will realize neither a capital gain nor a capital loss on the exchange. The Canadian Holder will be considered to have disposed of its Amalco Special Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base thereof to the Canadian Holder immediately before the exchange and to have acquired Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at an aggregate cost equal to those proceeds of disposition, such aggregate cost to be averaged, for the purpose of computing such Canadian Holder's adjusted cost base, with the adjusted cost base of any other Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by such Canadian Holder at that time as capital property. Under the current administrative practice of the CRA, a Canadian Holder who receives cash of $200 or less in lieu of a fraction of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share may either include the capital gain or capital loss on the partial disposition of the Amalco Special Shares in computing income, or may instead reduce the adjusted cost base to the Canadian Holder of the Canadian Holder's Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares by the amount of the cash.

Redemption of Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares

        On the redemption of Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares received by a Canadian Holder on the Arrangement, the Canadian Holder will be considered to have disposed of such shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the Cash Elected Consideration received for such shares, and will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that those proceeds of disposition exceed (or are less than) the Canadian Holder's adjusted cost base of the Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares, determined as described above. The income tax treatment of such gain or loss is discussed below. No deemed dividend will arise on the redemption of a Canadian Holder's Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares.

Dissenting Shareholders

        Under the current administrative practice of the CRA, Canadian Holders who exercise their Dissent Right in respect of the Arrangement should be considered to have disposed of their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount paid to them for such shares less the amount of any interest awarded by the court and will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that those proceeds of disposition exceed (or are less than) their adjusted cost base of such shares immediately before the Arrangement. Any interest awarded to a Dissenting Shareholder will be included in the Dissenting Shareholder's income. Because of uncertainties under the relevant legislation, Dissenting Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses

        A Canadian Holder who, as described above, realizes a capital gain or a capital loss on the disposition of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, Amalco Special Shares or Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares, as the case may be, will generally be required to include in income one half of any such capital gain ("taxable capital gain") and may apply one half of any such capital loss ("allowable capital loss") against taxable capital gains in accordance with the detailed rules in the ITA. Generally, allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding years or carried forward and deducted in any following year, in either case, against taxable capital gains realized in such year in accordance with the detailed rules of the ITA.

44


        If the Canadian Holder is a corporation or a partnership or trust of which a corporation is a partner or a beneficiary, any capital loss realized on the disposition of any such Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, Amalco Special Shares or Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares may be reduced by the amount of certain dividends which have been received, or are deemed to have been received, on such share, or in the case of a capital loss realized on the disposition of an Amalco Special Share or an Amalco Redeemable Preferred Share, on the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares exchanged therefor, in accordance with detailed provisions of the ITA. Canadian Holders should consult their tax advisors for specific information regarding the application of these provisions.

        A "Canadian controlled private corporation" (as defined in the ITA) may be liable to pay an additional 62/3% refundable tax on certain investment income, including taxable capital gains.

        The realization of a capital gain or loss by a Canadian Holder who is an individual (including most trusts) may affect the individual's liability for alternative minimum tax under the ITA.

Eligibility for Investment

        The Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are qualified investments under the ITA for trusts governed by registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds, deferred profit sharing plans (collectively, "Plans") and registered education savings plans. The Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares do not constitute foreign property for Plans and other persons subject to tax under Part XI of the ITA and are not a prohibited investment for a registered pension plan under the ITA. In the February 23, 2005 federal budget, the Minister of Finance proposed that the foreign property limit be eliminated.

Holders Not Resident in Canada

        The following portion of the summary applies to a Holder who is not a resident of Canada for the purposes of the ITA and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in carrying on business in Canada (a "Non-Resident Holder"). This summary does not apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer that carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere. The following assumes that all Non-Resident Holders, other than Non-Resident Holders that are Dissenting Shareholders, will be Tendering Shareholders in the Arrangement.

Disposition of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on Arrangement

        No tax on income (including taxable capital gains) will be payable by a Non-Resident Holder in respect of the disposition of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares or any other aspect of the Arrangement, except as disclosed under "Dissenting Shareholders", where the shares are not "taxable Canadian property" to such Non-Resident Holder. Generally, Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will not be "taxable Canadian property" to a Non-Resident Holder unless, at any time during the five year period immediately preceding the disposition, 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation belonged to such Non-Resident Holder, to persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm's length, or any combination thereof, or the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares were acquired by the Non-Resident Holder in a transaction which deemed them to be "taxable Canadian property" to the Non-Resident Holder.

Dissenting Shareholders

        Non-Resident Holders who dissent from the Arrangement will be subject to the same income tax considerations as those above with respect to dissenting Canadian Holders, except that such dissenting Non-Resident Holders will not be subject to tax under the ITA in respect of capital gains realized on the disposition of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares where such shares are not "taxable Canadian property" to such Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition. Dissenting Non-Resident Holders will be subject to withholding tax under the ITA in respect of any interest received.

45




CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        The following summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Shareholder. Accordingly, Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

        In the opinion of Torys LLP, counsel to the Corporation, the following is a summary of the material United States Federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to Shareholders, and the ownership and disposition of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. This summary is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the United States Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect and which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.

        This summary assumes that Shareholders hold their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, and will hold any Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares received in the Arrangement, as capital assets within the meaning of section 1221 of the Code. This summary also assumes that Intier is not, and has never been, a passive foreign investment company for United States Federal income tax purposes (a "PFIC"). A foreign corporation is a PFIC for a particular taxable year if (i) 75% or more of its gross income for the taxable year is passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the average value of its assets held during the taxable year produce or are held for the production of passive income. Considering the nature of Intier's business activities and earnings, Intier believes that it is not, and has never been, a PFIC.

        This summary does not address all aspects of United States Federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular Shareholders in light of their personal investment circumstances or to Shareholders subject to special treatment under the United States Federal income tax laws such as:

    insurance companies;

    tax-exempt organizations;

    dealers in securities or foreign currencies;

    banks;

    persons that hold Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares or will hold Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or conversion transaction;

    United States Holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar;

    partnerships, S corporations, mutual funds, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts and investors in such entities;

    shareholders who acquired their Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares through the exercise of options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan; or

    United States Holders that will own 10% or more of the total voting power of all outstanding Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares or Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

        Furthermore, this summary does not consider the potential effects of any state, local or non-United States tax laws.

        For purposes of this summary, a "United States Holder" means a beneficial owner of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares or Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares that is:

    a citizen or resident alien individual of the United States;

    a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States or any of its political subdivisions;

    a trust if a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States fiduciaries have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or

    an estate that is subject to United States Federal income tax on its income regardless of its source.

        A "Non-United States Holder" is a beneficial owner of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares or Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares that is not a United States Holder. If a partnership holds Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares or Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in a partnership holding Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares or Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, you should consult your own tax advisor.

United States Holders of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares

Exchange of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares for Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and/or Cash

        A United States Holder will generally recognize gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of the Arrangement in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of any Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares received in the Arrangement and (ii) such holder's adjusted tax basis in its Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares transferred in the Arrangement. Cash paid in Canadian dollars will be includible in income in an amount equal to the United States dollar value of the cash (determined at the spot rate on the date of such payment) regardless of whether the payment is converted into United States dollars. Gain or loss must be determined separately for each block of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares owned by the United States Holder. Any such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term gain or loss if, on the date of the Arrangement, the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares have been held for more than one year. In the case of a United States Holder that is an individual, long-term capital gain will be eligible for a reduced rate of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. The United States Holder's tax basis in the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares received in the Arrangement will be equal to the fair market value of those shares on the day received, and the holding period of those shares will begin on the day after they are received.

        For foreign tax credit limitation purposes, gain or loss recognized on the exchange of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares for Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and/or cash pursuant to the Arrangement will generally be United States source income or loss. Any gain or loss from currency exchange fluctuations between the date of the disposition of the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and the conversion of the sales proceeds into United States dollars will be United States source ordinary income or loss.

        United States Holders generally should not recognize any foreign currency gain or loss as a result of the receipt of Canadian dollars in the Arrangement if the Canadian dollars are converted into United States dollars on the day they are received. If, however, Canadian dollars are not converted into United States dollars on the day they are received, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations from the date the payment is includible in income to the date the payment is converted into United States dollars will be ordinary income or loss. Such currency gain or loss will generally be income or loss from United States sources for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Ownership of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares

Distributions

        Distributions paid out of Magna's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States Federal income tax purposes, will be taxable as dividend income. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be a tax-free recovery of basis to the extent of the United States Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, and any remaining amount of distributions will generally be subject to tax as capital gain. Dividends on Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will generally be foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes and will not be eligible for a dividends received deduction.

        Dividends paid in Canadian dollars will be includible in income in an amount equal to the United States dollar value of the dividends (determined at the spot rate on the date of such payment) regardless of whether the dividends are converted into United States dollars. United States Holders generally should not recognize any foreign currency gain or loss if the Canadian dollars are converted into United States dollars on the day they are received. If, however, Canadian dollars are not converted into United States dollars on the day they are

47



received, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations from the date the dividends are includible in income to the date the payment is converted into United States dollars will be ordinary income or loss. Such currency gain or loss will generally be income or loss from United States sources for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

        Certain dividends received by United States individuals before January 1, 2009 from a qualified foreign corporation are subject to a maximum Federal income tax rate of 15%. A foreign corporation will generally be considered a qualified foreign corporation if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that contains an exchange of information program. The United States Treasury Department has identified the Canada-United States Income Tax Treaty as a qualifying treaty. As a result, Magna should be a qualified foreign corporation. To qualify for the reduced rate of taxation on dividends, a holder must satisfy certain holding period and other requirements with respect to its Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. United States Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning their eligibility for the reduced rate of Federal income tax on dividends on Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

        Distributions paid on the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will generally be subject to Canadian withholding taxes. A United States Holder may be eligible to claim a credit or deduction for any Canadian withholding tax paid with respect to distributions from Magna. The calculation of foreign tax credits and deductions involves the application of complex rules and limitations that depend upon a holder's particular circumstances. United States Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits and deductions for Canadian tax withheld.

Sale or Other Disposition of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares

        Upon the sale or exchange of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, a United States Holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of any cash and the fair market value of any other property received and (ii) such holder's adjusted tax basis in such Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. Such gain or loss generally will be treated as capital gain or loss, and as long-term capital gain or loss if the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares had been held more than one year at the time of disposition. For foreign tax credit limitation purposes, gain or loss recognized on a sale or exchange of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will generally be United States source income. Any gain or loss from currency exchange fluctuations between the date of the disposition of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and the conversion of the sales proceeds into United States dollars will be United States source ordinary income or loss.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

        The Code provides special anti-deferral rules for certain distributions received by United States persons with respect to, and sales and other dispositions of, a foreign corporation that is a PFIC. A foreign corporation is a PFIC for a particular taxable year if (i) 75% or more of its gross income for the taxable year is passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the average value of its assets held during the taxable year produce or are held for the production of passive income. For purposes of these tests, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. In addition, a foreign corporation is treated as holding directly its proportionate share of the assets, and receiving directly its proportionate share of the earnings, of any subsidiary corporation in which it owns directly or indirectly at least 25% of the stock, by value. Magna has advised Intier that Magna does not believe that it is, nor does it anticipate that it will become, a PFIC. No assurance can be given, however, that Magna is not a PFIC or will not be a PFIC in the future. If Magna were to be treated as a PFIC, a United States Holder could be subject to adverse United States Federal income tax consequences as a result of the ownership or disposition of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. Those adverse consequences could differ materially from the consequences described above. Accordingly, United States Holders are urged to discuss the applicability and consequences of the PFIC rules with their tax advisors.

Non-United States Holders of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares

Exchange of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares for Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and/or Cash

        In general, a Non-United States Holder will not be subject to United States federal income tax as a result of the exchange of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares for Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and/or cash pursuant to the Arrangement unless:

    any gain attributable to the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares is effectively connected with the Non-United States Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment that such Shareholder maintains in the United States; or

    the Non-United States Holder is an individual, is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the Arrangement and certain other conditions exist.

Ownership of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares

Distributions

        Distributions paid out of Magna's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States Federal income tax purposes, will be dividend income. In general, a Non-United States Holder will not be subject to United States Federal income tax (including United States withholding tax) on dividends on Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares unless the income is effectively connected with the holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States or, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the holder in the United States. A Non-United States Holder that is taxable as a corporation for United States Federal income tax purposes might also be subject to a branch profits tax on such effectively connected dividends at a 30% rate or a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty.

Sale or Other Disposition of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares

        In general, a Non-United States Holder will not be subject to United States Federal income tax on any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with the holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States or, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the holder in the United States or (ii) if the Non-United States Holder is an individual, the holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions exist. A Non-United States Holder that is taxable as a corporation for United States Federal income tax purposes might also be subject to a branch profits tax on such effectively connected gains at a 30% rate or a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        Payments of dividends on Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and the proceeds of disposition of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares or Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries may be required to be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and may be subject to backup withholding unless (i) the Shareholder is a corporation or other exempt recipient, or (ii) the Shareholder provides a taxpayer identification number or complies with applicable certification requirements. Non-United States Holders are generally exempt from the information reporting and backup withholding rules but may be required to comply with certification requirements to prove their exemption. The backup withholding rate is currently 28%. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against a Shareholder's United States Federal income tax liability if the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

        In the case of the Arrangement, the 28% backup withholding rate, if applicable, will apply to all of the consideration received as part of the Arrangement (i.e., the sum of any cash received and the fair market value of any Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares received).

INTEREST OF DIRECTORS, SENIOR OFFICERS AND OTHER INSIDERS OF INTIER

Affiliation Agreements

        The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to affiliation agreements with Magna that provide for the payment by the Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries of affiliation fees. The affiliation agreements, which became effective January 1, 2001, provide for fixed ten-year terms ending July 31, 2011 and will thereafter be renewed automatically for further one-year terms unless terminated by the Corporation, Magna, or their respective subsidiaries upon six months' notice prior to the applicable date of renewal.

        The aggregate affiliation fees payable by the Corporation and certain subsidiaries to Magna in respect of each fiscal year will be an amount equal to:

    1.5% of the first $3 billion of the Corporation's consolidated net sales for that year;

    1% of the next $3 billion of the Corporation's consolidated net sales for that year; and

    0.75% of the Corporation's consolidated net sales exceeding $6 billion;

provided that sales from acquired businesses will not be subject to a fee until January 1 of the year following the date of the acquisition, and will be subject to a fee equal to 50% of the fee with respect to the Corporation's other sales in the calendar year following the date of the acquisition, and to the full fee in the second calendar year following the date of the acquisition and thereafter. The affiliation agreements also provide that in the event that certain of the benefits and/or services to be provided by Magna are in fact provided by another

50


affiliate of Magna, Magna will reduce the affiliation fees by an equitable amount having regard to the fees paid for such benefits and/or services by Intier to such Magna affiliates. In respect of fiscal 2004, the aggregate affiliation fee was $68.1 million.

Social Fees

        The Corporate Constitution specifies that the Corporation will allocate a maximum of 2% of its profit before tax in each fiscal year to support social and charitable activities. Intier fulfils this requirement principally through social and charitable programs coordinated by Magna on behalf of itself and its affiliates and accordingly, pays Magna a fee which is applied for these purposes. In respect of fiscal 2004, the aggregate social commitment fee was $3.3 million.

Administrative Services

        Magna provides certain management and administration services to Intier, including legal, environmental, immigration, tax, treasury, information systems and employee relations services in return for a specific amount negotiated between the Corporation and Magna. In respect of fiscal 2004, the aggregate administrative services fee was $5.5 million.

Registration Rights Agreement

        The Corporation and Magna are parties to a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which Magna may require the Corporation's assistance in selling Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by Magna under an offering by prospectus in Canada or in the United States. In addition, Magna has certain rights to participate in offerings of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares undertaken by the Corporation after January 1, 2004, by requiring that up to 35% of the offered shares be comprised of Magna's holdings of Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. Magna will bear all underwriter's commissions and discounts associated with any shares it sells. However, the Corporation will bear the expenses (other than underwriter's commissions and discounts) associated with the Magna share sales effected under the Registration Rights Agreement. The Corporation is not permitted to grant to any person registration rights which are superior in any fashion to those granted to Magna under the Registration Rights Agreement without Magna's approval.

Intier Deferred Profit Sharing Plan

        All of the Corporation's eligible Canadian, U.S., U.K. and Austrian employees are members of the Intier Employee Equity Participation and Profit Participation Program, which consists of separate Intier deferred profit sharing plans in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Austria which invest primarily in Intier's Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and independent Intier employee pension plans in certain jurisdictions, and which make cash payments to eligible Intier employees. Certain of Intier's eligible North American, U.K. and Austrian employees continue to participate in Magna's deferred profit sharing plan but only to the extent that units attributable to these persons which were held prior to the adoption of Intier's deferred profit sharing plan in 2002 remain in Magna's deferred profit sharing plan.

Inter-Company Purchasing and Leasing Arrangements

        Intier's manufacturing plants buy from and sell products to Magna's plants on an ongoing basis in the normal course of their business. As such, Magna is both a supplier to and customer of Intier. These transactions typically are on normal commercial terms. During fiscal 2004, Intier's sales of materials to Magna and its affiliates were $38.4 million and Intier's purchases of materials from Magna and its affiliates were $24.2 million. In addition, Intier leases facilities from MID, an affiliate of Magna. Such leases are typically on normal commercial terms. In respect of fiscal 2004, Intier's lease payments to MID and its affiliates were approximately $17.0 million.

51



Special Committee

        In recognition of the work to be performed by the independent directors on the Special Committee, the Intier Board approved a fee structure (in United States dollars) for the members of the Special Committee, consisting of a Special Committee Chair retainer of $25,000, a Special Committee member retainer of $15,000, a meeting attendance fee of either $1,000 or $2,000 depending on the duration of each meeting, a written resolution fee of $250 and compensation for work days at $2,500 and travel days at $2,500 depending on the length of the required air travel.


EFFECT OF THE ARRANGEMENT ON MARKETS AND LISTING

        After the Effective Time, it is intended that the Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will be delisted from the TSX and NASDAQ, and that Intier will cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws in each province in which it is a reporting issuer and cease to be a registrant with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares trade on the TSX and the NYSE under the stock symbols "MG.SV.A" and "MGA, respectively. Magna has filed applications with the TSX and the NYSE to list the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement and upon the exercise of Magna Replacement Options and Intier Continuing Options. The TSX and the NYSE have conditionally approved the listing of Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, subject to the satisfaction of the customary requirements of the TSX and the NYSE, respectively.


INFORMATION CONCERNING MAGNA

Magna International Inc.

        Magna's operations are conducted through its global automotive systems groups, as well as corporate and other ancillary operations. Until August 29, 2003, Magna had non-automotive operations, which were conducted through Magna Entertainment Corp.

Automotive Operations

        Magna is the most diversified automotive supplier in the world. Magna designs, develops and manufactures automotive components, assemblies, modules and systems, and engineers and assembles complete vehicles. Magna's products and services are sold primarily to manufacturers of cars and light trucks in North America, Europe, South America and Asia. As at September 30, 2004, Magna employed approximately 81,000 employees and operated 219 manufacturing facilities as well as 49 product development and engineering facilities, in 22 countries.

        Magna's manufacturing, product development and engineering facilities are organized as autonomous operating divisions. Each division is currently under one of seven automotive systems groups, two of which, including Intier, are publicly traded companies in which Magna has a controlling interest through voting securities, and five of which are organized among Magna's wholly-owned subsidiaries (including Tesma which was recently privatized). All references to the number of manufacturing facilities and/or product development and engineering facilities operated by a particular automotive group are as of September 30, 2004.

Public Automotive Systems Groups

    Decoma International Inc. — Decoma designs, engineers and manufactures a variety of automotive exterior components and systems, including fascias (bumpers), front and rear end modules, plastic body panels, roof modules, exterior trim components and systems, sealing and greenhouse systems, and lighting components. Decoma operates 52 manufacturing, engineering and product development facilities (including one multi-group facility) in North America, Europe and Asia.

    Intier Automotive Inc. — Intier is a global full service supplier and integrator of automotive interior and closure components, systems and modules, including cockpit, sidewall, overhead and complete seating systems, seat hardware and mechanisms, floor carpet and vehicle acoustics, cargo management systems, latching systems, window regulator systems, wiper systems, power sliding doors and liftgates, mid-door and door module technologies and electro-mechanical systems. Intier operates 73 manufacturing facilities

52


      (including one joint venture facility with Magna Steyr) and 15 product development, engineering and testing centres (including one joint venture facility with Magna Steyr and one multi-group facility) in North America, Europe, South America and Asia.

Privatization Proposals

        On October 25, 2004, Magna announced that it had made separate proposals to the respective boards of directors of Decoma, Intier and Tesma, in each case, to acquire all the outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of each such subsidiary not owned by Magna. In the case of Intier, this Circular is being delivered in connection with the proposed privatization of Intier. Each proposal, which would be implemented by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under Ontario law, is independent of the others and not conditional on the completion of the others.

        Under those initial proposals, shareholders of Decoma, Intier and Tesma would receive 0.1453, 0.3847 (subsequently changed to 0.41 in the case of Intier) and 0.4388 (subsequently changed to 0.44 in the case of Tesma) of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share for each Class A Subordinate Voting Share of Decoma, Intier and Tesma, respectively. Based on the initial proposal and the volume-weighted average trading price of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares over the 20 trading days ending October 22, 2004, being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the privatization proposals, the total purchase price for the outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of each subsidiary not owned by Magna would have been approximately Cdn$300 million, Cdn$250 million and Cdn$700 million for each of Decoma, Intier and Tesma, respectively, or a combined total of approximately Cdn$1.3 billion.

        On February 1, 2005, shareholders of Tesma approved the privatization of Tesma. On February 3, 2005, the Court gave its final approval to the privatization of Tesma. On February 4, 2005, articles of arrangement were filed to give effect to the arrangement of Tesma, with the result that the privatization of Tesma became effective at 12:01 a.m. (Toronto time) on February 6, 2005. Consequently, at that time, Tesma became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magna. In consideration of Magna's acquisition of all the issued and outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of Tesma not already owned by it, Magna issued 6,687,709 Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and paid approximately Cdn$127,695,000 to shareholders of Tesma who elected to receive cash consideration and who were entitled to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. In connection with the privatization of Tesma, Magna also reserved for issuance 643,038 Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issuable to holders of options to acquire Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares under previously granted Tesma options.

        On February 28, 2005, shareholders of Decoma approved the privatization of Decoma. The hearing in respect of Decoma's application for final approval by the Court is expected to take place on or about March 2, 2005. If the Decoma privatization is approved by the Court, it is anticipated that the privatization of Decoma will become effective at 12:01 a.m. (Toronto time) on March 6, 2005 with the result that Decoma will ultimately amalgamate with Magna. If approved by the Court, shareholders of Decoma will be entitled to receive, for each Decoma Class A Subordinate Voting Share held by them, 0.1453 of a Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Share or, at the election of the shareholder, cash equal to 0.1453 multiplied by the volume-weighted average trading price of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX for the five consecutive trading days ending immediately before the effective date of the arrangement of Decoma. The aggregate cash payable to all Decoma shareholders who elect to receive cash consideration cannot exceed Cdn$150 million. If all cash elections by Decoma shareholders electing to receive cash exceed Cdn$150 million, in the aggregate, the amount of cash such shareholders will receive will be proportionately reduced among those shareholders who elected to receive cash. Where the cash amount each shareholder is entitled to receive is so reduced, such holders will receive Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in lieu of the applicable cash amount.

        Based on the number of Decoma Class A subordinate voting shares issued and outstanding as of January 25, 2005 and the volume-weighted average trading price of the Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares over the 20 trading days ending October 22, 2004, the total purchase price in respect of the privatization of Decoma would be satisfied by the issuance of approximately 3,275,485 Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, in the event Decoma shareholders receive only share consideration, or approximately 1,623,811 Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Cdn$150 million in cash, in the event Decoma shareholders elect to

53



receive the maximum amount of cash consideration offered under the proposal to privatize Decoma. In connection with the privatization of Decoma, Magna also expects to reserve for issuance approximately 410,327 Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issuable to holders of options to acquire Decoma Class A subordinate voting shares under previously granted Decoma options.

        Each of the special committees of Tesma and Decoma recommended that their minority shareholders vote in favour of their respective privatization proposals and received opinions from their respective financial advisors that the consideration being offered by Magna was fair, from a financial point of view, to their respective minority shareholders.

        Worldwide sales to DaimlerChrysler, General Motors and Ford represented approximately 28%, 24% and 19%, respectively, of Magna's consolidated sales in fiscal 2003.

Non-Automotive Operations

        Until August 29, 2003, Magna had non-automotive operations, which were conducted through MEC. MEC is North America's number one owner and operator of thoroughbred racetracks, based on revenues, and one of the world's leading suppliers, via simulcasting, of live racing content to the growing inter-track, off-track and account wagering markets. Magna transferred its controlling equity interest in MEC to MID in connection with the reorganization and subsequent spin-off of MID. Since the spin-off transaction, Magna no longer has any significant non-automotive operations.

Stock Option Plans, Grants and Exercises

The maximum number of shares for which options and stock appreciation rights may be granted under the Intier Stock Option Plan is six million Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, subject to certain adjustments. The option price is to be established at the time of the grant, but cannot be less than the closing price of Intier's Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX (with respect to options denominated in Canadian dollars) or on NASDAQ (with respect to options denominated in U.S. dollars) on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the grant.

        As at December 31, 2004, options to purchase an aggregate of 3,417,900 Intier Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at prices ranging from Cdn$21.00 to Cdn$29.40 and $13.72 to $18.78 per share were outstanding under Intier's Stock Option Plan.

Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee

        The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee of the Board is comprised of Messrs. Lumley (Chairman), Davis, Galifi and Lataif, the majority of whom are not employees, officers or former officers of the Corporation or its affiliates. Messrs. Lumley and Davis served on the committee during 2004. Mr. Galifi replaced Ms. Belinda Stronach on February 23, 2004 and Mr. Lataif was appointed as an additional member on March 25, 2004. The committee meets as required to review and make recommendations to the Board on the compensation of, and material contractual matters involving, the President and Chief Executive Officer and to review recommendations of the President and Chief Executive Officer regarding compensation for the other executive officers of the Corporation. The committee also has certain other responsibilities including the administration of the Intier Stock Option Plan and the Canadian and U.S. pension plans, and is generally responsible for developing the Corporation's approach to corporate governance issues and assessing the effectiveness of the system of corporate governance at the Corporation as a whole, and other matters.

Report on Executive Compensation

        The Corporation's heritage as a Magna subsidiary means that it has adopted Magna's unique, entrepreneurial corporate culture which has evolved since Magna's founding approximately four decades ago. There are several key elements of this entrepreneurial culture. Firstly, the Corporation consistently emphasizes

62



decentralization, which provides management with a high degree of autonomy at all levels of operation and which increases Intier's flexibility, customer responsiveness and productivity. Secondly, incentive-based compensation (such as variable profit-based bonuses and stock option grants) represents in most cases the majority of each senior manager's total compensation package. Under this variable compensation "risk and reward" philosophy, operational and corporate management have the incentive to emphasize consistent medium- and long-term profitability in order to provide such individuals with the potential to earn higher compensation than other management in comparable positions within the Corporation's industry peer group. In contrast, during periods of cyclical downturns, management compensation is reduced. The grant of stock options with longer term vesting provisions to senior corporate and operational management and the inclusion of minimum share maintenance provisions in their employment agreements also provide additional incentives to management to increase the Corporation's share price and create shareholder value. Finally, the Corporate Constitution attempts to balance the interests of shareholders, employees and management, defines the rights of employees (including management) and investors to participate in the Corporation's profits and growth and reflects certain of the entrepreneurial operational and compensation philosophies which attempt to align employee, management and shareholder interests. These operational and compensation philosophies and the Corporate Constitution enable the Corporation to maintain an entrepreneurial environment which encourages management and employee productivity, ingenuity and innovation.

        It is the committee's objective to enable this entrepreneurial culture to continue to flourish, and it therefore intends to continue to apply Magna's long established compensation philosophies, which have been essential to Intier's continued success and its ability to attract, retain and motivate skilled, entrepreneurial employees at all levels of the Corporation's organization, as well as to maintain the alignment of shareholder and employee interests and create shareholder value.

        In order to achieve this objective and consistent with the concepts reflected in the Corporate Constitution, certain managers who have senior operational or corporate responsibilities receive a remuneration package consisting of a base salary (which generally is lower than comparable industry standards) and an annual incentive bonus based on direct profit participation at the operating or corporate level at which such manager is involved. All other eligible Canadian, U.S., U.K. and Austrian employees of Intier historically participated in the Magna Employee Equity Participation and Profit Participation Program, which consists of a combination of a deferred profit sharing plan, employee pension plans in certain jurisdictions and cash payments to employees. Effective fiscal 2002, the Corporation established its own Employee Equity Participation and Profit Participation Program for such employees in lieu of their participation in the Magna program, whereby the Corporation contributes or allocates ten per cent (10%) of the Corporation's Employee Pre-Tax Profits Before Profit Sharing to such program.

        The committee applies the following criteria in determining or reviewing recommendations for compensation for executive officers:

    Base Salaries.    Base salaries should be at levels generally below base salaries for comparable positions within a comparator group of North American industrial companies which have global businesses and are not generally increased on an annual basis. Fixed compensation costs are therefore minimized in cyclical or other down periods, with financial rewards coming principally from variable incentive cash compensation and long-term incentive compensation. See "Summary Compensation Table" above.

    Incentive Compensation.    The amount of direct profit participation of management and therefore the amount of compensation "at risk" increases with the level of performance and/or responsibility. Due to the variable nature of profit participation, incentive cash compensation is generally reduced in cyclical or other down periods due to reduced profits. As a result, senior management has an incentive to emphasize consistent growth in profitability over the medium- to long-term to ensure stable levels of annual compensation. Total cash bonuses for fiscal 2004 paid to the Named Executive Officers represented on average more than 88.8% of such individuals' total cash compensation and reflects the improved financial performance of the Corporation and the overall performance of management during fiscal 2004.

    Under the Corporate Constitution, the aggregate incentive bonuses paid and payable to "Corporate Management" (which includes the Named Executive Officers and other executive officers of the

63



    Corporation) in respect of any financial year shall not exceed 6% of the Corporation's Pre-Tax Profits Before Profit Sharing for such year.

    Long-Term Incentives.    Minimum stock ownership has been required of all direct profit participators (including executive officers) for many years at Magna and has been continued at Intier. In addition, stock option grants to senior corporate and operating management have been made in order to encourage members of corporate and operational management to remain with Intier over the longer term, thereby promoting management stability, and further attempting to align management's interests with those of the Corporation's shareholders and encourage the enhancement of shareholder value. The stock option agreements for the most recent tranche of options granted in December 2003 provide that a portion of the net after-tax gains on exercise be included for purposes of determining the optionees' minimum share ownership requirements under their employment contract.

    Written Employment Contracts.    The Corporation generally utilizes written employment contracts with its executive officers to reflect the terms of their employment, including compensation, severance, stock maintenance, confidentiality and non-competition arrangements. Prior to the renewal and/or material amendment of each such agreement, the committee intends to review the executive officer's compensation in the context of the Corporation's historical compensation philosophies and policies, such officer's individual performance and relevant comparators, with the objective of ensuring that such compensation is commensurate with the Corporation's performance and is primarily "at risk" and incentive based. The committee will conduct a review every two years with its external compensation consultants of comparison compensation as well as its compensation criteria and overall approach to ensure the continued competitiveness of its total compensation and effectiveness in achieving its compensation objectives.

        In respect of the year 2004, the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee met on five occasions to, among other matters:

    (i)
    receive the report of the President and Chief Executive Officer on 2004 compensation payable to senior management of the Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries;

    (ii)
    review and consider the President and Chief Executive Officer's report on succession planning and senior management performance;

    (iii)
    conduct a review of the adequacy and competitiveness of the compensation of senior management with reference to the report of a third party consultant; and

    (iv)
    review and approve the amended variable profit percentages and bonuses of certain members of senior management of the Corporation and its subsidiaries based on the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and the findings of the above-referenced compensation report.

        The committee conducted an extensive review of the salary, bonus and benefits compensation of the Corporation's senior management, including the Named Executive Officers, with a view to assessing the adequacy and competitiveness of such arrangements. Based upon a review and consideration of the Corporation's established compensation principles outlined above, the committee reviewed and approved the President and Chief Executive Officer's recommendations with respect to certain amendments to the variable profit percentages and bonuses of certain members of senior management of the Corporation including certain of the Named Executive Officers. Having given effect to these recommendations, the committee is of the view that the 2004 compensation arrangements for such members of senior management are, in the aggregate, adequate and competitive with current industry standards.

        The terms of Mr. Walker's annual compensation and other compensation referred to in the Summary Compensation Table reflect the compensation and benefits provided to him under his employment contract with the Corporation which was entered into in fiscal 2001 prior to the Corporation's initial public offering. The term of Mr. Walker's employment contract is of an indefinite duration.

        The Corporation believes that its continued strong, profitable growth positions it for long-term growth in shareholder value, and justifies competitive financial rewards for executive officers which are primarily contingent on the continued profitability of the Corporation.

      circumstances in which they are made, or that otherwise requires an amendment or supplement to the Intier Circular or such application. In any such event, the Parties shall cooperate in the preparation of a supplement or amendment to the Intier Circular or such other document, as required and as the case may be, and, if required, shall cause the same to be distributed to Intier Shareholders and/or filed with applicable Governmental Entities.

For the period from August 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006, Magna shall use all reasonable efforts to renew such directors and officers liability insurance coverage on a comparable basis or on a basis that is consistent in terms of risks insured and policy limits with general industry practices at the time of such renewal for similarly-situated global public companies, to the extent that the annual cost of obtaining such renewal insurance does not exceed 200% of the current annual cost of Magna's existing directors and officers liability insurance coverage. Thereafter, until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, Magna may maintain, modify or discontinue such directors and officers liability insurance in such manner as may be approved by a majority of Magna's outside directors, in which case any such renewal insurance policy in effect during such period shall continue to benefit the current outside directors of Intier in respect of their activities up to the Effective Time (to the extent available) on the same basis as the outside directors of Magna.

    Indemnities.    Intier's obligations pursuant to indemnities provided or available to past and present directors and officers of Intier pursuant to the provisions of Intier's articles of incorporation and bylaws, Applicable Laws and any written indemnity agreements entered into between Intier and such directors or officers shall continue in full force and effect (and the relevant provisions of Intier's articles of incorporation, bylaws and such written indemnity agreements shall not be amended or modified to reduce such obligations in any respect) in accordance with their terms. In addition, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time Magna agrees to indemnify the directors of Intier for any liability they incur as a result of the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent such liability is not covered by any directors and officers liability insurance policy or under the articles and by laws or indemnity agreements referred to above. The provisions of this paragraph (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified person and his or her heirs and representatives. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Magna to cause Intier or its Subsidiaries to be amalgamated or merged into or otherwise combined with any other entity;

    (j)
    Voting.    Magna shall vote, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to vote, any Intier Shares held by them in favour of the Arrangement;

    (l)
    Intier Options.    Magna shall take all actions necessary to support the exchange of the Intier Options for Magna Replacement Options in accordance with the terms set out in the Plan of Arrangement.

4.3   Implementation.

    (a)
    Satisfaction of Conditions.    Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions contained in Article 5 and shall take such measures as are lawful and within its power or control to implement the Arrangement as of the Effective Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that Intier's only obligation in respect of the Final Order shall be as set out in Section 2.2(e).

    (b)
    Consultation.    The Parties agree to consult with each other in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement and in making any filing with any Governmental Entity with respect thereto. Subject to Applicable Laws, each Party shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to enable the other Party to review and comment on all such press releases prior to the release thereof and shall enable the other Party to review and comment on such filings prior to the filing thereof. The Parties agree to issue jointly a press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement as soon as practicable in a form acceptable to both Parties, and each of the Parties agrees to file a copy of this Agreement with the relevant Governmental Entities, if any, as required by Applicable Laws. Each Party agrees not to make any public statement that is inconsistent with such press release.

4.4   Intier Continuing Options.

        Magna and Intier agree that upon the exercise of any Intier Continuing Options in accordance with the terms thereof:

    (a)
    unless otherwise instructed by or on behalf of Intier, Magna shall issue and deliver to the holder of the exercised Intier Continuing Option that number of Magna Class A Shares that are subject to the exercise of the Intier Continuing Option (the "Subject Magna Class A Shares");

    (b)
    in consideration for the issuance of the Subject Magna Class A Shares, Intier shall pay to Magna an amount (the "Subscription Price") equal to the fair market value of the Subject Magna Class A Shares; and

    (c)
    Intier may satisfy the Subscription Price in cash or by issuing to Magna shares in the capital stock of Intier (for certainty, including any successor corporation to Intier) that have a fair market value equal to the Subscription Price.

THE ARRANGEMENT

2.1   Binding Effect.

        This Plan of Arrangement will become effective at, and be binding at and after, the Effective Time on (a) Intier, (b) Magna, (c) Magna Subco, (d) Amalco, (e) all Holders and beneficial holders of Intier Shares (including Dissenting Shareholders), Magna Subco Shares and Amalco Shares, and (f) all Holders of Intier Options and Magna Replacement Options.

C-4



2.2   The Arrangement.

        Commencing at the Effective Time, the following shall occur and shall be deemed to occur in the following order (except as expressly noted below) without any further act or formality:

    (a)
    subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.4, each Share Consideration Share held by a Tendering Shareholder will be transferred to Magna Subco in exchange for the Share Consideration and Magna Subco will be deemed to be the legal and beneficial owner thereof (free of any claims or encumbrances);

    (b)
    subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.4, contemporaneously with the transfer described in Section 2.2(a) above, each Cash Consideration Elected Share held by a Tendering Shareholder will be transferred to Magna Subco in exchange for the Cash Elected Consideration and Magna Subco will be deemed to be the legal and beneficial owner thereof (free of any claims or encumbrances);

    (c)
    each Intier Exchange Elected Option outstanding at the Effective Time will be exchanged for an option of Magna (a "Magna Replacement Option") to purchase the number of Magna Class A Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of Intier Class A Shares that could be purchased under such Intier Exchange Elected Option if such Intier Exchange Elected Option were exercisable and exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time. Such Magna Replacement Option shall provide for an exercise price per Magna Class A Share equal to the exercise price per Intier Class A Share of such Intier Exchange Elected Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest cent). If the foregoing calculation results in a Magna Replacement Option of any particular Holder thereof being exercisable for a total number of Magna Class A Shares that includes a fraction of a Magna Class A Share, then the total number of Magna Class A Shares subject to such Holder's Magna Replacement Option shall be rounded down to the next whole number of Magna Class A Shares. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(c), the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising, vesting schedule and all other terms and conditions of such Magna Replacement Option will be the same as the terms and conditions of such Intier Exchange Elected Option and any document or agreement previously evidencing such Intier Exchange Elected Option shall evidence and be deemed to evidence such Magna Replacement Option;

    (d)
    Magna Subco and Intier (sometimes referred to hereinafter as "predecessor corporations") will amalgamate to form Amalco with the same effect as if section 179 of the OBCA were applicable to the Amalgamation, and in connection with the Amalgamation:

    (i)
    each Share Consideration Share held by an Amalgamating Shareholder will be converted into an Amalco Special Share;

    (ii)
    each Cash Consideration Elected Share held by an Amalgamating Shareholder will be converted into an Amalco Redeemable Preferred Share;

    (iii)
    all Intier Shares held by Magna Subco (including, for certainty, Intier Shares acquired by Magna Subco under Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b) above) will be cancelled for no consideration;

    (iv)
    each Magna Subco Class A Share will be converted into an Amalco Class A Share and each Magna Subco Class B Share will be converted into an Amalco Class B Share;

    (v)
    each Intier Class B Share held by 2004189 will be converted into an Amalco Class B Share;

    (vi)
    Amalco will possess all the property, rights, privileges and franchises and will be subject to all liabilities, including civil, criminal and quasi-criminal, and all contracts, disabilities and debts of each of the predecessor corporations;

    (vii)
    a conviction against, or ruling, order or judgment in favour or against a predecessor corporation may be enforced by or against Amalco;

    (viii)
    the Articles of Arrangement will be deemed to be the articles of amalgamation of Amalco and, except for the purposes of section 117(1) of the OBCA, the Certificate will be deemed to be the certificate of amalgamation of Amalco;

    (ix)
    the name of the corporation continuing from the Amalgamation shall be "Intier Automotive Inc.";

C-5


      (x)
      the registered office of Amalco shall be in the City of Newmarket in the Province of Ontario;

      (xi)
      the authorized capital of Amalco shall consist of an unlimited number of Amalco Class A Shares, an unlimited number of Amalco Class B Shares, an unlimited number of Amalco Special Shares and an unlimited number of Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares;

      (xii)
      except pursuant to the Arrangement, no shares of Amalco shall be transferred without either (1) the consent of the Amalco Board of Directors expressed by a resolution passed by the directors of Amalco or by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by a majority of the directors or (2) the consent of the holders of a majority of the votes attaching to all voting shares of Amalco for the time being outstanding expressed by a resolution passed by the shareholders or by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by holders of not less than a majority of the votes attaching to all voting shares of Amalco;

      (xiii)
      following completion of the Arrangement, the number of shareholders of Amalco, exclusive of persons who are in its employment and exclusive of persons who, having been formerly in the employment of Amalco, were, while in that employment, and have continued after termination of that employment to be, shareholders of Amalco, shall be limited to not more than fifty, two or more persons who are joint registered owners of one or more shares being counted as one shareholder;

      (xiv)
      following completion of the Arrangement, any invitation to the public to subscribe for securities of Amalco shall be prohibited;

      (xv)
      there shall be no restrictions on the business which Amalco is authorized to carry on or on the powers Amalco may exercise;

      the directors of Amalco may appoint one or more directors who shall hold office for a term expiring not later than the close of the next annual meeting of Amalco, but the total number of directors so appointed may not exceed one third of the number of directors elected at the previous annual meeting of Amalco; and

      (xix)
      the number of the first directors shall be three (3) and the first directors of Amalco shall be the persons set out below, who shall hold office until the first annual meeting of Amalco or until their successors are elected or appointed:

    (e)
    immediately following the Amalgamation, each Amalco Redeemable Preferred Share will be redeemed by Amalco at a redemption price equal to the Cash Elected Consideration;

C-6


    (f)
    immediately following the Amalgamation, each Amalco Special Share will be transferred by the Holder thereof to Magna in exchange for the Share Consideration; and

    (g)
    each Intier Continuing Option outstanding at the Effective Time will remain outstanding in accordance with its terms and the adjustment provisions in the Intier Continuing Options will thereafter apply. For greater certainty, it is confirmed that, for the purposes of such adjustment provisions as they relate to the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Arrangement, each Intier Continuing Option will thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase from Amalco (as successor to Intier following the Amalgamation), in lieu of the number of Intier Class A Shares the Holder was entitled to purchase upon the exercise of such Intier Continuing Option, but for the same aggregate consideration and on the same terms, the aggregate number (with such adjustment provisions continuing to apply mutatis mutandis) of Magna Class A Shares that the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Arrangement if, immediately before the Effective Time, such Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Intier Class A Shares to which such Holder would have been entitled upon exercise of such Intier Continuing Option if all vesting and other requirements for exercise were then met and those Intier Class A Shares were all Share Consideration Shares hereunder.

2.3   Elections.

    (a)
    Subject to Section 2.4, each Tendering Shareholder or Amalgamating Shareholder shall be entitled to make a Cash Election in respect of all or a portion (provided such portion is a whole number of shares) of such Holder's Intier Class A Shares on the basis set forth in the Letter of Transmittal.

    (b)
    Any Tendering Shareholder or Amalgamating Shareholder who, in respect of any Intier Class A Share held by such Holder (i) does not deposit with the Depositary a duly completed Letter of Transmittal prior to the Election Deadline or (ii) fails to complete the Letter of Transmittal making a Cash Election, shall be deemed not to have made a Cash Election in respect of any such Intier Class A Shares.

    (c)
    Any deposit of a Letter of Transmittal and accompanying certificates may be made at any of the offices of the Depositary specified in the Letter of Transmittal.

2.4   Proration and Fractional Shares.

        Notwithstanding Section 2.3, if the aggregate Cash Elected Consideration exceeds the Maximum Cash Consideration, the number of Cash Consideration Elected Shares that any Holder of Intier Class A Shares shall be deemed to hold, for all purposes of this Plan of Arrangement, shall be the number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the product of (i) the number of Cash Consideration Elected Shares of such Holder (ignoring this Section 2.4) as set forth in such Holder's Letter of Transmittal and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Maximum Cash Consideration and the denominator of which is the aggregate Cash Elected Consideration. The Intier Class A Shares of any Holder that are not Cash Consideration Elected Shares shall be deemed for all purposes of this Plan of Arrangement to be Share Consideration Shares.

        Notwithstanding anything herein contained, no fractional Magna Class A Shares will be issued or delivered in connection with this Plan of Arrangement. Where a Holder of Intier Class A Shares is to receive Share Consideration and the aggregate number of Magna Class A Shares to be issued to such Holder would otherwise include a fraction of a Magna Class A Share, such Holder shall receive, in lieu of such fractional share, a cash payment equal to the fraction of a Magna Class A Share otherwise issuable or deliverable multiplied by the Average Market Price.

C-7


2.5   Stated Capital Accounts.

        The stated capital accounts of the classes of shares of Amalco immediately following the Amalgamation shall be:

    (a)
    for the Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares, an amount equal to the number of Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares resulting from the conversion of Intier Class A Shares upon the Amalgamation multiplied by the Cash Elected Consideration;

    (b)
    for the Amalco Special Shares, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the aggregate paid-up capital (within the meaning of the ITA) immediately before the Amalgamation of (1) all Intier Shares (other than any such shares held by Magna Subco immediately prior to the Amalgamation), and (2) all Magna Subco Shares, over the aggregate amount added to the stated capital of Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares under Section 2.5(a), and (ii) the number of Amalco Special Shares resulting from the conversion of Intier Class A Shares upon the Amalgamation multiplied by the Average Market Price multiplied by the Exchange Ratio; and

    (c)
    for the Amalco Class A Shares and the Amalco Class B Shares a total amount equal to the excess of the aggregate paid-up capital (within the meaning of the ITA) immediately before the Amalgamation of (i) all Intier Shares (other than any such shares held by Magna Subco immediately prior to the Amalgamation), and (ii) all Magna Subco Shares, over the aggregate amount added to the stated capital of all other classes of Amalco Shares under Sections 2.5(a) and (b) above, which total amount shall be allocated between the Amalco Class A Shares and the Amalco Class B Shares pro rata based on the number of such shares resulting from the conversion of Intier Shares and Magna Subco Shares on the Amalgamation,

    provided that in no case shall the stated capital of any class of Amalco Shares immediately following the Amalgamation be less than $1, and if necessary to prevent this result in respect of any particular class of Amalco Shares, the stated capital allocation of the immediately preceding class of Amalco Shares described above shall be amended to reduce its stated capital by the amount necessary to leave the particular class of Amalco Shares with $1 of stated capital.


ARTICLE 3

RIGHTS OF DISSENT

3.1   Rights of Dissent.

        Holders of Intier Class A Shares may exercise rights of dissent with respect to such shares pursuant to and in the manner set forth in section 185 of the OBCA and this Section 3.1 (the "Dissent Rights") in connection with the Arrangement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan of Arrangement, Holders of Intier Class A Shares who duly exercise such rights of dissent and who:

    (a)
    are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid fair value for their Intier Class A Shares by Amalco (as successor to Intier following the Amalgamation), shall be deemed to have transferred such Intier Class A Shares as of the Effective Time and prior to any of the steps referred to in Section 2.2, without any further act or formality and free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, to Intier and such shares shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time; or

    (b)
    are ultimately determined not to be entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their Intier Class A Shares, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non-dissenting Tendering Shareholder who did not make a Cash Election and shall receive Share Consideration from Amalco (as successor to Magna Subco) on the basis determined in accordance with Sections 2.2(a) and 2.3(b).

        In no case shall Magna, Amalco, the Depositary or any other Person be required to recognize such Dissenting Shareholders as Holders of Intier Class A Shares or Amalco Class A Shares at or after the Effective Time and the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be deleted from the register of Holders of Intier Class A Shares as of the Effective Time.

C-8




ARTICLE 4

CASH AND CERTIFICATES

4.1   Payment of Cash Elected Consideration.

        At or prior to the Effective Time, (a) Magna Subco shall deposit with the Depositary for the benefit of Tendering Shareholders and Amalgamating Shareholders who, in each case, elected to receive the Cash Election Consideration (either directly, in the case of Tendering Shareholders, or via an Amalco Redeemable Preferred Share, in the case of Amalgamating Shareholders) and (b) Magna Subco and Magna shall deposit with the Depositary for the benefit of Tendering Shareholders and Amalgamating Shareholders, respectively, entitled to receive, in lieu of a fraction of a Magna Class A Share pursuant to Section 2.4, a cash payment equal to the fraction of a Magna Class A Share otherwise issuable or deliverable multiplied by the Average Market Price, sufficient funds for these purposes by bank transfer or other means satisfactory to the Depositary and cause the Depositary either:

    (i)
    to forward or cause to be forwarded by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the Holder at the address specified in the Letter of Transmittal; or

    (ii)
    if requested by the Holder in the Letter of Transmittal, to make available at the Depositary for pick-up by the Holder,

a cheque in Canadian currency representing the payment required to be made to such Holder pursuant to the provisions hereof. Under no circumstances will interest be paid to any Holder on any payment to be made hereunder, regardless of any delay in making such payment.

4.2   Payment of Share Consideration

        At or prior to the Effective Time, Magna shall deposit with the Depositary, for the benefit of the Holders of Intier Class A Shares who are to receive the Share Consideration (either directly, in the case of Tendering Shareholders, or via an Amalco Special Share, in the case of Amalgamating Shareholders), certificates representing that whole number of Magna Class A Shares to be received by such Holders pursuant to the provisions hereof.

        Upon the surrender to the Depositary of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Intier Class A Shares that, under the Arrangement, were (a) transferred to Magna Subco in exchange for Magna Class A Shares or (b) converted into Amalco Special Shares, together with a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents, instruments and payments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Holder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Magna or Magna Subco, as the case may be, shall cause the Depositary either:

    (i)
    to forward or cause to be forwarded by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the Holder at the address specified in the Letter of Transmittal; or

    (ii)
    if requested by the Holder in the Letter of Transmittal, to make available at the Depositary for pick-up by the Holder,

        a certificate representing the number of Magna Class A Shares issuable or deliverable to such Holder.

4.3   Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates.

        No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to the Magna Class A Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the Holder of any unsurrendered certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Share Consideration Shares, unless and until the Holder of such certificate shall surrender such certificate in accordance with Section 4.1 or 4.2. Subject to applicable law, at the time of such surrender of any such certificate (or, in the case of clause (y) below, at the appropriate payment date), there shall be paid to the surrendering Holder of the certificates representing Share Consideration Shares, without interest, (x) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to the Magna Class A Shares to which such Holder is entitled pursuant hereto and (y) only to the extent not paid under clause (x), on the appropriate payment date,

C-9



the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such Magna Class A Shares.

4.4   Lost Certificates.

        In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Intier Class A Shares that were exchanged or converted pursuant to Section 2.2 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Holder claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, cash and/or certificates deliverable in accordance with Sections 2.2, 4.1 or 4.2 and such Holder's Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Holder to whom cash and/or certificates are to be issued shall, as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, give a bond satisfactory to Magna (and its transfer agents) and the Depositary in such sum as Magna may direct or otherwise indemnify Magna in a manner satisfactory to Magna against any claim that may be made against Magna with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

4.5   Extinction of Rights.

        Any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Intier Class A Shares (other than Intier Class A Shares held by Magna Subco) that were exchanged or converted pursuant to Section 2.2 and that is not deposited with all other instruments required by this Plan of Arrangement and the Letter of Transmittal to the Depositary in accordance with the terms of this Plan of Arrangement on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature as a securityholder of Intier, Magna Subco, Amalco or Magna. On such date, the cash or property to which the former Holder of the certificate referred to in the preceding sentence was ultimately entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered for no consideration to Amalco (as successor corporation to Magna Subco following the Amalgamation) or any successor thereto.

4.6   Withholding Rights.

        Intier, Magna, Amalco, Magna Subco and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend or consideration otherwise payable to any Holder of Intier Shares, Intier Options, Amalco Shares and Magna Class A Shares, such amounts as Intier, Magna, Amalco, Magna Subco or the Depositary is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the ITA or any other provision of provincial, local or foreign tax law, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Holder of the securities in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. To the extent that the amounts so required or permitted to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a Holder exceed the cash portion of the consideration otherwise payable to the Holder, Intier, Magna, Amalco, Magna Subco and the Depositary are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Intier, Magna, Amalco, Magna Subco or the Depositary, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement or entitlement and Intier, Magna, Amalco, Magna Subco or the Depositary shall notify the Holder thereof and remit to the Holder any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.

VALUATION AND OPINION

         LOGO

February 9, 2005

The Special Committee of the Board of Directors
Intier Automotive Inc.
521 Newpark Boulevard
Newmarket, Ontario L3Y 4X7

To the Special Committee:

        RBC Dominion Securities Inc. ("RBC"), a member company of RBC Capital Markets, understands that Magna International Inc. ("Magna") is proposing to acquire, by way of a plan of arrangement, all of the outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (the "Intier Class A Shares") of Intier Automotive Inc. (the "Company") not already owned by Magna (the "Transaction"). Magna currently owns an approximate 86% equity interest in the Company as well as approximately US$217 million in convertible preferred shares and has the right to cast approximately 99% of the votes attached to the Company's outstanding share capital. Under the Transaction, holders of Intier Class A Shares (the "Shareholders") would receive 0.4100 of a Class A Subordinate Voting Share of Magna (the "Magna Class A Shares") for each Intier Class A Share held, or at the election of any Shareholder, cash based on the volume-weighted average trading price of Magna Class A Shares over the five consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day immediately preceding the effective date of the plan of arrangement. The aggregate maximum amount of cash payable to all electing Shareholders would be C$125 million and Shareholders would be subject to proration to the extent that elections for cash in the aggregate exceed C$125 million. The terms of the Transaction will be more fully described in a management information circular (the "Circular"), which will be mailed to Shareholders in connection with the Transaction.

        RBC also understands that a committee (the "Special Committee") of the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company who are independent of Magna has been constituted to consider the Transaction and make recommendations thereon to the Board. RBC was instructed by the Special Committee that the Transaction is a "business combination" within the meaning of Rule 61-501 of the Ontario Securities Commission and a "going private transaction" within the meaning of Policy Statement Q-27 of the Autorité des marchés financiers du Québec (collectively, the "Policies"). The Special Committee has retained RBC to provide advice and assistance to the Special Committee in evaluating the Transaction, including the preparation and delivery to the Special Committee of a formal valuation of the Intier Class A Shares (the "Valuation") in accordance with the requirements of the Policies and RBC's opinion (the "Opinion") as to the fairness of the consideration under the Transaction, from a financial point of view, to holders of Intier Class A Shares other than Magna or any of its associates or affiliates (the "Minority Shareholders"). The Valuation and Opinion have been prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada.

        All dollar amounts herein are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless stated otherwise.

Engagement

        The Special Committee initially contacted RBC regarding a potential advisory assignment in October 2004, and RBC was formally engaged by the Special Committee through an agreement between the Company and RBC (the "Engagement Agreement") dated November 5, 2004. The terms of the Engagement Agreement provide that RBC is to be paid $425,000 for the Valuation and Opinion. In addition, RBC is to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to be indemnified by the Company in certain circumstances. RBC consents to the inclusion of the Valuation and Opinion in their entirety and summaries thereof in the Circular and to the filing thereof, as necessary, by the Company or Magna with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each province of Canada and in the United States.

Relationship With Interested Parties

        Neither RBC, nor any of its affiliated entities (as such term is defined for the purposes of the Policies) (i) is an associated or affiliated entity or issuer insider (as such terms are defined for the purposes of the Policies) of the Company, Magna or any of their respective associates or affiliates, (ii) is an advisor to Magna in connection with the Transaction, or (iii) is a manager or co-manager of a soliciting dealer group formed in respect of the Transaction (or a member of such a group performing services beyond the customary soliciting dealer's functions or receiving more than the per security or per security holder fees payable to the other members of the group. RBC has not been engaged to provide any financial advisory services nor has it participated in any financing involving the Company, Magna or any of their respective associates or affiliates, within the past two years, other than the services provided under the Engagement Agreement and as described herein. In October 2004, RBC was retained by Magna Entertainment Corp. ("MEC") to evaluate a potential financing arrangement with MI Developments Inc. ("MID") in relation to two non-revolving construction loan facilities in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $192 million to fund the reconstruction of facilities at Gulfstream Park racetrack in Florida and The Meadows racetrack in Pennsylvania. In July 2004, RBC was retained by MEC to provide a valuation, in accordance with the requirements of the Policies, in relation to MID's announced intention to make an offer for all of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of MEC not already owned by MID. On September 16, 2004, prior to the completion of the valuation, MID announced that it would not be proceeding with the offer. In March 2003, RBC was a co-manager for a C$100 million public offering of convertible unsubordinated debentures by Decoma International Inc., a 74% owned affiliate of Magna. There are no understandings, agreements or commitments between RBC and the Company, Magna or any of their respective associates or affiliates with respect to any future business dealings. RBC may, in the future, in the ordinary course of its business, perform financial advisory or investment banking services for the Company, Magna or any of their respective associates or affiliates. The compensation of RBC under the Engagement Agreement does not depend in whole or in part on the conclusions reached in the Valuation or the Opinion or the successful outcome of the Transaction. Royal Bank of Canada, of which RBC is a wholly-owned subsidiary, provides banking services to Magna, the Company and certain of their affiliates in the normal course of business.

        RBC acts as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in major financial markets and, as such, may have had and may in the future have positions in the securities of the Company, Magna or any of their respective associates or affiliates and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such companies or clients for which it received or may receive compensation. As an investment dealer, RBC conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on investment matters, including with respect to the Company, Magna or the Transaction.

Credentials of RBC Capital Markets

        RBC is one of Canada's largest investment banking firms, with operations in all facets of corporate and government finance, corporate banking, mergers and acquisitions, equity and fixed income sales and trading and investment research. RBC Capital Markets also has significant operations in the United States and internationally. The Valuation and Opinion expressed herein represent the opinions of RBC and the form and content herein have been approved for release by a committee of its directors, each of whom is experienced in merger, acquisition, divestiture and valuation matters.

        RBC has not, to the best of its knowledge, been denied access by the Company to any information requested by RBC. As the auditors of both the Company and Magna declined to permit RBC to rely upon information provided by them as a part of any due diligence review, RBC did not meet with the auditors of either the Company or Magna and has assumed the accuracy and fair presentation of and relied upon the audited consolidated financial statements of each of the Company and Magna and the reports of the auditors thereon.

Prior Valuations

        The Company has represented to RBC that there have not been any prior valuations (as defined in the Policies) of the Company or its material assets or its securities in the preceding 24-month period.

Assumptions and Limitations

        With the Special Committee's approval and as provided for in the Engagement Agreement, RBC has relied upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all of the financial and other information, data, advice, opinions or representations obtained by it from public sources, senior management of the Company and their consultants and advisors (collectively, the "Information"). The Valuation and Opinion are conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of such Information. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment and except as expressly described herein, we have not attempted to verify independently the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any of the Information.

        Senior officers of the Company have represented to RBC in a certificate delivered as of the date hereof, among other things, that (i) the Information (as defined above), other than forward looking information provided by the Company or its subsidiaries including, without limitation, the Company's 2004 and 2005 business plan, provided orally by, or in the presence of, an officer or employee of the Company or in writing by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective agents to RBC for the purpose of preparing the Valuation and Opinion was, at the date the Information was provided to RBC, and is, at the date hereof complete, true and correct in all material respects, and did not and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact in respect of the Company, its subsidiaries or the Transaction and did not and does not omit to state a material fact in respect of the Company, its subsidiaries or the Transaction necessary to make the Information or any statement contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which the Information was provided or any statement was made; and that (ii) since the dates on which the Information was provided to RBC, except as disclosed in writing to RBC or in bring down due diligence sessions with RBC, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and no material change has occurred in the Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Valuation or Opinion.

        Senior officers of Magna have represented to RBC in a certificate delivered as of the date hereof that, with the exception of matters that have been publicly disclosed or disclosed to RBC by Magna, they are not aware of (i) any pending plan or proposal that would constitute a "material change" (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) in the affairs of Magna or (ii) any other facts that would reasonably be expected to affect materially the opinions to be given by RBC in connection with the Engagement Agreement.

        In preparing the Valuation and Opinion, RBC has made several assumptions, including that all of the conditions required to implement the Transaction will be met and that the disclosure provided or incorporated by reference in the Draft Circular with respect to the Company, Magna, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates and the Transaction is accurate in all material respects.

        The Valuation and Opinion are rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at the date hereof and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of

F-4



the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, as they were reflected in the Information and as they have been represented to RBC in discussions with management of the Company. In its analyses and in preparing the Valuation and Opinion, RBC made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of RBC or any party involved in the Transaction.

        The Valuation and Opinion have been provided for the use of the Special Committee and the Board and may not be used by any other person or relied upon by any other person other than the Special Committee and the Board without the express prior written consent of RBC. The Valuation and Opinion are given as of the date hereof and RBC disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Valuation or Opinion which may come or be brought to RBC's attention after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting the Valuation or Opinion after the date hereof, RBC reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the Valuation or Opinion.

        RBC believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying the Valuation or Opinion. The preparation of a valuation or fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis. Neither the Valuation nor the Opinion is to be construed as a recommendation to any Shareholder as to whether to vote in favour of or against the Transaction.

Overview of the Company

        The Company is a global full service supplier and integrator of automotive interior and closure components, systems and modules with manufacturing facilities and product development, engineering and testing centres in North America, Europe, Brazil, Japan and China.

        The Company's principal products include: (i) interior systems, such as seating systems, cockpit systems, sidewall systems, cargo management systems, overhead, floor and acoustic systems, instrument panels and related components; and (ii) closure systems, including latching systems, window regulators, electro-mechanical systems, wiper systems, power sliding doors and liftgates, mid-door and door modules.

        For the twelve months ended September 30, 2004, the Company had sales of approximately $5.6 billion and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of approximately $335.1 million compared to sales of approximately $4.2 billion and EBITDA of approximately $198.7 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2003. At September 30, 2004, the Company had reported net working capital of approximately $182.4 million and reported total assets of approximately $2.4 billion.

Definition of Fair Market Value

        For purposes of the Valuation, fair market value means the monetary consideration that, in an open and unrestricted market, a prudent and informed buyer would pay to a prudent and informed seller, each acting at arm's length with the other and under no compulsion to act. RBC has not made any downward adjustment to the value of the Intier Class A Shares to reflect the liquidity of the Intier Class A Shares, the effect of the Transaction or the fact that the Intier Class A Shares held by Minority Shareholders do not form part of a controlling interest.

Valuation of the Intier Class A Shares

    Valuation Methods

        RBC valued the Intier Class A Shares on a going concern basis using a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis and a precedent transactions analysis. RBC also reviewed trading multiples of public companies involved in the automotive parts industry from the perspective of whether a public market analysis might exceed DCF or precedent transaction values for the Intier Class A Shares. However, RBC concluded that public company multiples implied values that were below the DCF and precedent transaction values. Given the

F-5


foregoing and that public company values generally reflect minority discount values rather than "en bloc" values, RBC did not rely on this methodology in determining the value of the Intier Class A Shares.

    Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

        The DCF approach takes into account the amount, timing and relative certainty of projected unlevered free cash flows expected to be generated by the Company. The DCF approach requires that certain assumptions be made regarding, among other things, future cash flows, discount rates and terminal values. The possibility that some of the assumptions will prove to be inaccurate is one factor involved in the determination of the discount rates to be used in establishing a range of values.

    Assumptions

        As a basis for the development of projected future cash flows, RBC reviewed the Management Forecast. The Management Forecast is based on the Intier Business Plan as prepared by management and approved by the Board and includes financial projections prepared by management for 2008 to 2009. RBC developed its own base case scenario (the "RBC Base Case") for the purpose of the DCF analysis, formed independently with the benefit of understanding the assumptions behind the Management Forecast. In developing the RBC Base Case, RBC gave consideration to a number of factors, including the outlook for the Company and the implications of continued pricing pressures from original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). The RBC Base Case projections were based primarily on the Management Forecast, except as outlined below.

    Vehicle Production Volumes:    Under the Management Forecast, both North American and Western European vehicle production volumes for 2005 to 2009 are based on estimates provided by Magna. These volumes are based on Magna's own internal estimates as well as commercially available estimates published by third-party sources, including CSM Worldwide ("CSM"), an automotive industry research firm. In developing the RBC Base Case, RBC adjusted vehicle production volumes for both North America and Western Europe to reflect the average of the estimates provided by Magna and those available from CSM. In general, as compared to Magna's assumptions, CSM forecasts 1.4% lower North American vehicle production volumes and 1.0% higher Western European vehicle production volumes, except from 2007 to 2009 in which case CSM vehicle production volume estimates were 2.5% lower.

    Unbooked Business:    Under the Management Forecast, total forecasted sales are derived primarily from booked business, but also include unbooked business. As a percentage of total sales, unbooked business increases throughout the forecast period from approximately 0.4% in 2005 to a high of approximately 25.3% in 2009. In developing the RBC Base Case, RBC did not change the composition of unbooked business, but did assume that 50% of unbooked business in each year is lost to reflect the potential for an increasingly competitive environment brought on by OEM pricing pressures.

    Cost of Goods Sold:    The Management Forecast assumes that cost of goods sold as a percentage of total sales on a consolidated basis averages approximately 87.3% from 2005 to 2009. In developing the RBC Base Case, RBC accepted the cost of goods sold assumptions in the Management Forecast as reasonable except to maintain the cost of goods sold for the North American segment of the Interiors business constant at the 2007 level of 90.7% assumed under the Management Forecast for the remainder of the forecast to reflect the combination of a more aggressive OEM price environment coupled with the expected reduced vehicle production volumes discussed above. As a result, cost of goods sold as a percentage of total sales on a consolidated basis averages approximately 87.5% from 2005 to 2009.

    Operating Expenses:    The Management Forecast assumes that operating expenses as a percentage of total sales on a consolidated basis averages 4.6% from 2005 to 2009. In developing the RBC Base Case, RBC adjusted operating expenses slightly so as to bring them in line with total sales growth. On this basis, RBC assumed that operating expenses would average 4.9% of total sales on a consolidated basis from 2005 to 2009. Under both the Management Forecast and the RBC Base Case, RBC assumed that there would be annual savings arising from the Transaction, which included public company cost savings of approximately $1.6 million annually, as well as sales and marketing savings of approximately $2.0 million annually.

F-6



    Foreign Currency Exchange Rates:    The Management Forecast assumes that foreign currency exchange rates remain fixed through the forecast period at: (i) CAD/USD: 0.7700, (ii) Euro/USD: 1.2000 and (iii) GBP/USD: 1.7800. In developing the RBC Base Case, RBC reviewed historical movements in foreign currency exchange rates in North America and Europe and commercially available forecasts of foreign currency exchange rates published by third-party economists as well as internal RBC estimates. Based on this review, RBC assumed that foreign currency exchange rates would fluctuate throughout the forecast period such that average foreign currency exchange rates from 2005 to 2009 were: (i) CAD/USD: 0.8300, (ii) Euro/USD: 1.3140 and (iii) GBP/USD: 1.8520. Notwithstanding the assumptions under the RBC Base Case, RBC assumed that the Company would employ operational and plant sourcing strategies to manage future currency movements, and as such determined that differences in foreign currency exchange rate assumptions were not warranted in the terminal year. RBC thus accepted the assumptions under the Management Forecast for purposes of calculating the terminal year results.

    Terminal Year Cash Flows:    In order to factor into the Valuation the impact of the business cycle and the long-term outlook for both the Company and the automotive parts industry, RBC calculated terminal year EBITDA and cash flows on the basis that the years 2006 to 2009 were characteristic of an automotive business cycle. As such, terminal year values for vehicle production volumes and gross margin were calculated as the average of 2006 to 2009. RBC's determination was based on an analysis of the EBITDA performance of other automotive parts manufacturers from 1995 to 2004 which considered average EBITDA margins as a percentage of peak year EBITDA margins. Terminal year estimates for capital expenditures were estimated by RBC on a similar basis, however RBC also assumed that an additional amount of capital expenditures would be required to generate the level of total sales assumed in the terminal year due to the expected continuation of OEM pricing pressures after the forecast period. RBC assumed that working capital investment in the terminal year reflected the expected growth in perpetuity of free cash flows.

        Pursuant to the terms of the Affiliation Agreement between the Company and Magna, the Company pays to Magna an annual fee based on various levels of consolidated net sales. Based on discussions with management of the Company and for purposes of the DCF analysis, RBC assumed that at termination of the Affiliation Agreement in July 2011, the potential cost of replicating the benefits provided by Magna in the post 2011 period would equate to 0.75% of annual consolidated net sales. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Social Commitment Agreement between the Company and Magna, the Company pays to Magna an annual fee of 1.5% of pre-tax profits in support of Magna's social objectives. For purposes of the DCF analysis, RBC assumed that at termination of the Social Commitment Agreement in July 2011, the Company would make its own charitable and other contributions in furtherance of its social objectives. RBC thus assumed that such contributions in the post 2011 period would equate to 1.0% of annual pre-tax profits, which would be consistent with the benchmark established by Imagine, Canada's national program to promote public and corporate giving.

        The RBC Base Case utilizes the Company's tax attributes, the effect of which is to imply an average effective tax rate of approximately 32.8% throughout the forecast period with the future portion of income taxes payable ranging from 10.0% to 20.0% throughout the forecast period. The effective and cash tax rates encompass the utilization of certain net operating loss balances held by the Company for tax purposes as at December 31, 2004.

        In order to arrive at the equity value of the Intier Class A Shares from the enterprise value that results from the DCF analysis, RBC made adjustments for the value of the Company's net cash, minority interest and current mark-to-market value of foreign exchange hedging contracts as well as the higher affiliation and social commitment fees that would be paid from the terminal year to contract expiration in July 2011.

    Sensitivity Analysis

        In completing our DCF analysis, RBC did not rely on any single series of projected cash flows but performed a variety of sensitivity analyses using the RBC Base Case free cash flows. Variables sensitized included vehicle production volumes, content per vehicle, unbooked business, margins, foreign currency exchange rates, income tax rates, working capital requirements, discount rates and terminal value assumptions. The results of these sensitivity analyses are reflected in our judgment as to the appropriate values resulting from the DCF approach.

    Discount Rates

        RBC selected appropriate discount rates to apply to our projected unlevered free cash flows by utilizing the Capital Asset Pricing Model ("CAPM") approach to determine an appropriate weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"). This approach calculates WACC based on an assumed optimal capital structure for the Company. The Company's optimal capital structure was chosen based upon a review of the capital structures of comparable companies and the risks faced by the Company and the automotive parts industry. The CAPM approach calculates the cost of equity capital as a function of the risk-free rate of return, the volatility of equity prices in relationship to a benchmark ("beta") and a premium for equity risk. The CAPM approach calculates the cost of debt as a function of the risk-free rate of return plus an appropriate borrowing spread to reflect credit risk, assuming an optimal capital structure. The assumptions used by RBC in estimating WACC for the Company are provided below:

Cost of Debt

   
  Cost of Equity

   
Risk free rate   4.15%   Risk free rate   4.15%
Borrowing spread   225 bps   Equity risk premium   5.00%
Pre-tax cost of debt   6.40%   Unlevered beta   1.03
Tax rate   35.00%   Levered beta(1)   1.20
After-tax cost of debt   4.16%   After-tax cost of equity   10.15%
Optimal Capital Structure   20.0% debt/80.0% equity    
WACC Calculated From Above   8.95%    

(1)
Assuming 20.0% debt/80.0% equity.

F-8


        Based on the foregoing analysis, taking into account sensitivity analyses on the variables selected above, RBC utilized a discount rate of 8.50% to 9.50%.

    Terminal Value

        Two approaches to the calculation of terminal values were considered by RBC for the DCF analysis: (i) multiple of EBITDA in the terminal year and (ii) growth in perpetuity of free cash flow in the terminal year.

        The EBITDA multiple range used to calculate the terminal value was 5.0x to 6.0x. These multiples were selected based on our analysis of precedent transactions, on our assessment of the risk and growth prospects for the Company beyond the terminal year and the long-term outlook for the automotive parts industry past the terminal year.

        The growth in perpetuity of free cash flow methodology capitalized terminal year free cash flow at the WACC less a growth factor determined by reference to expected free cash flow growth beyond the projection period of 1.5% to 2.5% per annum. In selecting this range of growth rates, RBC took into consideration the outlook for long-term inflation, growth prospects for the Company beyond the terminal year, and the outlook for the automotive parts industry beyond the terminal year.

    Summary of Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

        The following table summarizes the results of the DCF analysis under both the terminal EBITDA and growth rate into perpetuity methodologies assuming a discount rate of 8.50% to 9.50%, a terminal EBITDA multiple of 5.0x to 6.0x and a terminal growth rate of 1.5% to 2.5%:

    Precedent Transactions Analysis

        RBC reviewed the available public information with respect to recent transactions in the automotive parts industry in North America and Europe, with an emphasis on North America. For the purposes of its analysis, RBC reviewed over 60 transactions between 1995 and 2004, including transactions involving either Magna or its subsidiaries, and determined that the transactions set forth in the table below are the most comparable to the Transaction. In making its determination, RBC considered the characteristics of the entities involved in the

        Following such review, RBC selected a multiple of EBITDA for the Company of 5.5x to 6.5x for a number of reasons, including: (i) the Company's significant booked business in excess of current business levels for 2005 to 2007, (ii) substantial growth plans of the Company after 2007 and (iii) the Company's success in meeting the challenges of the OEM environment. The multiples applied to EBITDA under the precedent transactions approach are slightly higher than those used for calculating terminal values under the DCF analysis to reflect the significant expected growth in EBITDA over the next several years.

    Benefits of the Transaction to Magna

        In arriving at our opinion of the value of the Intier Class A Shares, RBC reviewed and considered whether any distinctive material value will accrue to Magna through the acquisition of all the Intier Class A Shares held by Minority Shareholders as contemplated in the Transaction. We concluded that there were no material specific operational or financial benefits that would accrue to Magna such as the earlier use of available tax losses, lower income tax rates, reduced operating costs, increased revenues, higher asset utilization or any other operational or financial benefits, other than the elimination of public company costs and certain limited sales and marketing savings as described above and which have been included in our Valuation.

    Valuation Conclusion

        RBC considered the results of both the DCF approach and precedent transactions approach in reaching its value conclusion. Based upon and subject to the foregoing, RBC is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the fair market value of the Intier Class A Shares is in the range of $35.00 to $40.00 per Intier Class A Share. At an exchange rate of CAD/USD: 0.8025 as at February 8, 2005, the results of the valuation analysis indicated a range of values from C$43.61 to C$49.84 per Intier Class A Share.

Opinion

    Factors Considered

        In considering the fairness of the consideration under the Transaction, from a financial point of view, to the Minority Shareholders, we principally considered and relied upon the following:

    (i)
    an assessment of the value of the consideration per Intier Class A Share under the Transaction;

    (ii)
    a comparison of the value of the consideration per Intier Class A Share under the Transaction to the range of fair market values of the Intier Class A Shares under the Valuation; and

    (iii)
    a comparison of the range of premiums offered under the Transaction to premiums paid in recent Canadian going private transactions.

F-11


    Assessment of Value of Consideration

        RBC has relied on the trading price of the Magna Class A Shares for purposes of determining the value of the non-cash consideration being offered under the Transaction and has not prepared a valuation of the Magna Class A Shares. In accordance with the Policies, a formal valuation of the non-cash consideration is not required, in the case of the Transaction, for the following reasons:

    (i)
    the non-cash consideration are securities of a reporting issuer for which there is a published market;

    (ii)
    Intier states in the Draft Circular that it has no knowledge of any material information concerning Magna or the Magna Class A Shares, that has not been generally disclosed;

    (iii)
    a liquid market (as defined under the Policies) exists for the Magna Class A Shares;

    (iv)
    the Magna Class A Shares to be issued under the Transaction constitute 25% or less of the number of Magna Class A Shares outstanding immediately before the Transaction;

    (v)
    the Magna Class A Shares to be issued under the Transaction will be freely tradeable at the time the Transaction is completed; and

    (vi)
    RBC, in consultation with the Special Committee, is of the opinion that a valuation of the Magna Class A Shares is not required.

RBC has independently confirmed items (i), (iii) and (iv) above. RBC is of the opinion that a valuation of the Magna Class A Shares is not required, given that, among other things: (i) under the Transaction, Minority Shareholders will be receiving a minority interest in Magna and will not be able to effect a sale of 100% of Magna, making it inappropriate to consider methodologies to assess the value of the Magna Class A Shares that are based on the assumption of a change of control transaction, (ii) the average total daily trading volume of the Magna Class A Shares was approximately 497,678 shares during the 90 trading days ending February 8, 2005, (iii) the Magna Class A Shares trade on a comparable basis and in a manner generally consistent with other comparable, publicly traded automotive parts companies, and (iv) officers of Magna have represented to RBC that, with the exception of matters that have been publicly disclosed or disclosed to RBC by Magna, they are not aware of (i) any pending plan or proposal that would constitute a "material change" (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) in the affairs of Magna or (ii) any other facts that would reasonably be expected to affect materially the opinions to be given by RBC in connection with the Engagement Agreement.

    Trading Price and Volume Analysis of Magna Class A Shares

        RBC reviewed the trading activity of the Magna Class A Shares on both the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") for the past twelve months to February 8, 2005 and analyzed the volume-weighted average trading prices and average daily trading volumes of the Magna Class A Shares over the past 90 trading days, as summarized below:

    Conclusion on Value of the Magna Class A Shares

        Based on the above analysis, RBC determined a value range of $75.55 to $78.18 per Magna Class A Share for the value of the consideration under the Transaction for the purposes of its fairness analysis.

    Comparison of Value per Intier Class A Share Under the Transaction to the Valuation

        The value of the consideration per Intier Class A Share under the Transaction is below the range of fair market values of the Intier Class A Shares under the Valuation.

    Comparable Transaction Premiums

        Our review of other transactions in the Canadian equity market where controlling shareholders successfully acquired publicly traded minority interests identified a total of 38 such transactions with a value over C$10 million over the past five years. Success was defined as acquiring at least one-half of the minority shares outstanding at the time of the transaction. Defining the premium for this purpose as the amount by which the value per share offered under the relevant transaction exceeded the closing price of the shares on the principal trading exchange on the day immediately prior to announcement of the transaction resulted in premiums as follows:

 
  Highest
  Lowest
  Mean
  Median
1-Day Premium   97%   -5%   31%   27%

        The range of premiums paid in the above transactions is very wide. Although every transaction has its own particular circumstances and direct comparison of any single transaction to the Transaction is difficult, we believe that the 38 transactions reviewed, in the aggregate, provide a useful comparison benchmark.

        The value per Intier Class A Share under the Transaction of $30.98 to $32.05 represents a premium of 49.7% to 54.8% to the $20.70 per share closing market price of the Intier Class A Shares on October 22, 2004, the last trading day prior to Magna's announcement of the Transaction, which is above the average premium for similar going private transactions over the past five years. Notwithstanding that the premium implied by the Transaction is above the average premium for similar going private transactions over the past five years, RBC's primary methodology as to fairness is whether the implied value of the consideration under the Transaction is within the Valuation range.

    Opinion Conclusion

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, RBC is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the consideration under the Transaction is inadequate, from a financial point of view, to the Minority Shareholders.

Yours very truly,
