LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND
CASH ELECTION FORM

CLASS A SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES
of
TESMA INTERNATIONAL INC.


IN ORDER TO RECEIVE CASH FOR YOUR TESMA CLASS A SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES
THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CASH ELECTION FORM MUST BE
PROPERLY COMPLETED AND RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY PRIOR TO
11:00 A.M. (TORONTO TIME) ON JANUARY 28, 2005.



        This Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form is for use by registered holders of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares ("Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares") of Tesma International Inc. ("Tesma") in connection with the proposed privatization of Tesma by Magna International Inc. ("Magna") to be effected way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). The Arrangement is being considered for approval at a special meeting (the "Meeting") of holders of Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to be held on February 1, 2005. Shareholders are referred to the Tesma Management Information Circular/Proxy Statement (the "Circular") dated January 10, 2005 accompanying this Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form.

        Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form which are defined in the Circular have the meanings ascribed to them in the Circular.

        In order to receive the Cash Elected Consideration, each Shareholder must make a Cash Election by submitting this Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form, properly completed and duly executed, and ensuring that it is received, together with all share certificates ("Share Certificates") representing Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and other required documents, by Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the "Depositary") at one of the addresses set out at the back of this form prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on January 28, 2005 (the "Election Deadline"), being 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sunday and holidays, preceding the time of the Meeting.

        Any Shareholder who, in respect of any Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by such Shareholder, (i) does not deposit with the Depositary a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form prior to the Election Deadline or (ii) fails to complete the Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form making a Cash Election, will be deemed NOT to have made a Cash Election in respect of such Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and will be entitled to receive only Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares as consideration for each of such Shareholder's Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

        If the Arrangement is approved and implemented, Tesma will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magna and on the Effective Date, Shareholders (other than Magna and its affiliates and Shareholders who properly exercise their Dissent Rights as described in the Circular) will be entitled to receive for each such share:

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

    (ii)
    at the election of the Shareholder, cash (in Canadian currency) equal to 0.44 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 on the last trading day immediately preceding the Effective Date (but subject to proportionate reduction in the manner described below if the aggregate Cash Elected Consideration in respect of all Shareholders making a Cash Election exceeds Cdn$350 million),

provided that only Shareholders who have properly completed, duly executed and delivered this Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form, together with all other required documents, and surrendered their Share Certificates prior to the Election Deadline will be entitled to receive the Cash Elected Consideration.

        Under the Plan of Arrangement, the aggregate Cash Elected Consideration receivable by all Shareholders who make a Cash Election cannot exceed Cdn$350 million. If the aggregate Cash Elected Consideration (being the Cash Elected Consideration multiplied by the total number of Cash Consideration Elected Shares set out in the Letters of Transmittal of all Shareholders) exceeds Cdn$350 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 this Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is Cdn$350 million and the denominator of which is the aggregate Cash Elected Consideration. The Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of any Shareholder that are not Cash Consideration Elected Shares will be deemed to be Share Consideration Shares.

        Shareholders whose Tesma 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 The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, of which the intermediary is a participant, should contact that intermediary for instructions and assistance in completing this Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form and in delivering such Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

A Shareholder that wishes to make a Cash Election with respect to all or a portion of such Shareholder's Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares should check the applicable box in Box "A" on page 4 of this Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form and indicate, if not all of such shares, the number of Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in respect of which such Cash Election is being made in the blank space provided in Box "A".

    Any Shareholder who, in respect of any Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares held by such Shareholder, (i) does not deposit with the Depositary a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form prior to the Election Deadline or (ii) fails to complete the Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form making a Cash Election, will be deemed NOT to have made a Cash Election in respect of such Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and will receive only Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares as consideration for each of such Shareholder's Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

    (f)
    The method of delivery of Share Certificates, the Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the Shareholder surrendering them and delivery will be deemed to be effective only when this Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form is actually received by the Depositary. It is recommended that such documents be delivered by hand to the Depositary at the relevant offices set out at the back of this form, and a receipt be obtained therefor or, if mailed, that registered mail, with return receipt requested, be used and that proper insurance be obtained. Shareholders holding Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares which are registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other Intermediary must contact their Intermediary to arrange for the surrender of their Share Certificates.

    Any Shareholder who wishes, in respect of any Tesma 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 the Election Deadline, or if the Shareholder cannot deliver all other required documents

8


    to the Depositary prior to the Election Deadline, such Shareholder may nevertheless surrender such shares and make a Cash Election provided that all of the following conditions are met:

    (a)
    the surrender of the holder's Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares is made by or through an Eligible Institution (as defined below);

    (b)
    a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (which is printed on green paper) in the form accompanying the 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 prior to the Election Deadline; and

    (c)
    the Share Certificate(s) representing the Surrendered Shares, together with this Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form, properly completed and duly executed with any required signature guarantees, covering the Surrendered Shares and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form, are received by the Depositary prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the third trading day on the Toronto Stock Exchange following the Election Deadline.

Delivery of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and this Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form and accompanying Share Certificates to any office other than the offices of the Depositary does not constitute delivery for the purposes of satisfying a guaranteed delivery.

    An "Eligible Institution" means a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank, a major trust company in Canada, a member of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), a member of the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (SEMP), a member of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program (MSP), or an institution that is otherwise an "eligible guarantor institution" (as such term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

3.     Fractional Shares

    No fractional Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares will 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.

8.     U.S. Shareholders and Substitute Form W-9

    United States federal income tax law generally requires that a U.S. Shareholder who receives cash and/or Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in exchange for Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares provide the Depositary with his correct Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN"), which, in the case of a holder of Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares who is an individual, is generally the individual's social security number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, such holder may be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and backup withholding in an amount equal to 28% of the gross proceeds of any payment received (in cash and/or Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares) hereunder. In the event the backup withholding amount with respect to the holder of Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares exceeds the amount of cash otherwise payable to such holder hereunder, Magna, Magna Subco and the Depositary will be permitted to sell sufficient Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares otherwise deliverable to such holder, to permit the appropriate backup withholding amount to be remitted to the Internal Revenue Service. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained by the holder from the Internal Revenue Service.

    To prevent backup withholding, each U.S. Shareholder must provide his correct TIN by completing the Substitute Form W-9 set out in this document, which requires such holder to certify under penalty of perjury: (1) that the TIN provided is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN); (2) that (i) the holder is exempt from backup withholding; (ii) the holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends; or (iii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the holder that he is no longer subject to backup withholding; and (3) that the holder is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien).

    Exempt holders (including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to backup withholding requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt holder must enter its correct

10



    TIN in Part 1 of Substitute Form W-9, write "Exempt" in Part 2 of such form, and sign and date the form. For additional instructions, see the "Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9" (the "W-9 Guidelines") that follow these instructions.

    If Tesma Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the W-9 Guidelines for information on which TIN to report.

    If a U.S. Shareholder does not have a TIN, such holder should: (i) consult the W-9 Guidelines for instructions on applying for a TIN; (ii) write "Applied For" in the space for the TIN in Part 1 of the Substitute Form W-9; and (iii) sign and date the Substitute Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number set out in this document. In such case, the Depositary may withhold 28% of the gross proceeds of any payment made (in cash and/or Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares) to such holder prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary, and if the Depositary is not provided with a TIN within sixty (60) days, such amounts will be paid over to the Internal Revenue Service.

    If the Substitute Form W-9 is not applicable to a U.S. Shareholder because such holder is not a U.S. person for United States federal income tax purposes, such holder will instead need to submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8 Certificate of Foreign Status, signed under penalty of perjury. An appropriate IRS Form W-8 (W-8BEN, W-8EXP or other form) may be obtained from the Depositary.

    A U.S. SHAREHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 SET OUT IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CASH ELECTION FORM OR, IF APPLICABLE, THE APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8 MAY BE SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF 28% OF THE GROSS PROCEEDS OF ANY PAYMENTS (IN CASH AND/OR MAGNA CLASS A SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES) MADE TO SUCH HOLDER PURSUANT TO THE ARRANGEMENT.

9.     Lost Certificates

    A Shareholder who has lost or misplaced its Share Certificates should complete this Letter of Transmittal and Cash Election Form as fully as possible and forward it, together with a letter explaining the loss or misplacement, to the Depositary at one of the addresses set out at the back of this form. 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.

Guidelines for Determining the Proper Identification Number for the Payee (You)

        To Give the Payer — Social security numbers have nine digits separated by two hyphens: i.e., 000-00-0000. Employee identification numbers have nine digits separated by only one hyphen: i.e., 00-0000000. The table below will help determine the number to give the payer. All "Section" references are to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. "IRS" is the Internal Revenue Service.





For This Type Of Account:

 

Give The Taxpayer Identification

1.   Individual   The individual


2.   Two or more individuals (joint account)   The actual owner of the account or, if combined fund, the first individual on the account(1)


3.   Custodian account of a minor (Uniform Gift to Minors Act)   The minor(2)


4.a.   The usual revocable savings trust account
(grantor is also trustee)
  The grantor-trustee(1)


b.   So-called trust that is not a legal or valid trust under state law   The actual owner(1)


5.   Sole proprietorship   The owner(3)


6.   A valid trust, estate, or pension trust   The legal entity(4)


7.   Corporate   The corporation


8.   Association, club, religious, charitable, educational, or other tax-exempt organization account   The organization

List first and circle the name of the person whose number you furnish. If only one person on a joint account has a social security number, that person's number must be furnished.

(2)
Circle the minor's name and furnish the minor's social security number.

(3)
You must show your individual name, but you may also enter your business or "doing business as" name. You may use either your social security number or your employer identification number (if you have one).

(4)
List first and circle the name of the legal trust, estate, or pension trust. (Do not furnish the taxpayer identification number of the personal representative or trustee unless the legal entity itself is not designated in the account title.)

NOTE:    If no name is circled when there is more than one name, the number will be considered to be that of the first name listed.
