Board of Directors

MI Developments Inc.

455 Magna Drive

Aurora, Ontario

Canada L4G 7K1

Gentlemen:

We read with interest the press release issued by MI Developments Inc. (“MIM”) on February 18, 2009. The press release states that MIM will not proceed with the reorganization proposal announced by management in November 2008 (the “November Proposal”). The press release also states that, in accordance with the terms of the respective loan agreements, the maturity of certain loans from MIM to Magna Entertainment Corp. (“MEC”) will be accelerated to March 20, 2009. According to MIM, the debt to be accelerated includes US$48.5 million outstanding under the first tranche of the new loan MIM extended to MEC in connection with the November Proposal, and US$126.2 million outstanding under the bridge loan that MIM originally provided in September 2007.

The February 18 press release is unclear, however, about whether MIM actually intends to enforce MEC’s accelerated repayment obligations. Adding to this lack of clarity is the press release’s ominous statement that MIM “is in discussions with Magna Entertainment Corp. (MEC) concerning alternatives with respect to its investment in MEC.”

Given the Board’s history of failing to defend MIM’s contractual rights against MEC, we are greatly troubled by the press release’s silence on whether MIM will enforce MEC’s debt obligations when they come due. Farallon therefore goes on the record today as strongly encouraging MIM to foreclose on the MEC loans if (when) MEC fails to repay them in full as required on March 20. Bankruptcy would allow MIM to realize at least some value on its loans to MEC.

Farallon also goes on record to state that any alternative to foreclosure that the Board may be considering (for example, authorizing MIM to acquire MEC, extend new financing to MEC, or convert outstanding MEC debt into equity) would be unacceptable. In the press release, MIM cites “continued disruptions in the financial markets” as

Page 31 of 32 Pages

preventing MIM from raising the new debt contemplated by the November Proposal. If market conditions prevent MIM—a company with substantial cash flows and little debt—from obtaining credit on objective commercial terms, the Board cannot coherently believe that MEC—crippled by negative cash flows and overwhelming debt—deserves further financial support from MIM’s shareholders.

The folly of providing additional financial support to MEC is not just a function of current market conditions. MEC could not operate profitably during the recent real estate and gaming boom; it certainly will not be profitable now that those sectors are deeply depressed. In fact there is no realistic prospect that MEC will ever be financially viable. MEC has debts in excess of US$600 million (over half of which is owed to MIM); has recorded net losses of more than US$500 million in the last five years; has seen its equity value drop to nearly zero; and faces delisting from the Toronto Stock Exchange. MIM’s equity stake in MEC was once worth more than US$350 million. It is now worth less than US$2 million. That the Board has authorized over US$300 million in loans in a failed attempt to prop up this equity only highlights the foolishness of the two companies’ entanglement. There is no possible justification for MIM to deepen that entanglement by lending more money to, or accepting equity in, MEC.

We reiterate: the Board must enforce MIM’s contractual right to be repaid in full under the accelerated MEC loans when they mature on March 20. If MEC fails to repay the loans as scheduled, MIM should not waste a single day waiting to exercise its rights as a creditor. Any other course of action would be a dereliction by the Board of its fiduciary duties.

Farallon is watching the Board closely. We are prepared to vigorously protect our rights as a shareholder if the Board does not fulfill its fiduciary duties in the weeks ahead.

Regards,

/s/ Richard B. Fried
