Modine Reduces Quarterly Cash Dividend

Company Cites Increased Financial Flexibility
and Support for Reinvestment in Growth During Restructuring Period

RACINE, WI, May 27, 2008 – Modine Manufacturing Company (NYSE: MOD), a diversified global leader in thermal management technology and solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a reduction in the company’s quarterly cash dividend on its common stock to a rate 10 cents per share from 17.5 cents per share.

Commenting on the dividend action, Modine Non-Executive Chairman Gary L. Neale said, “Although we continue to view the dividend as an important component of total shareholder return, we believe a reduction in the quarterly dividend is prudent at this time.  This will provide Modine additional financial flexibility and support reinvestment for growth and restructuring over the next 18 to 24 months.”

The 10 cent per share dividend will be paid June 20, 2008, to shareholders of record as of June 6, 2008.
