visit The Good Business Line at www.magnagbl.comQ: Based on internal reports, I know that Magna’s sales have
increased significantly and that our profit this quarter will be
higher than anticipated by industry analysts. Can I tell my
sister to buy Magna stock before we publicly announce our
quarterly earnings?

others, including your family and friends, is contrary to our
Code and illegal.
Improper Securities Trading
Our employees may sometimes gain access to confidential information about Magna, our suppliers,
competitors, customers or business partners through their work. This
inside information, if used by an
employee for investment purposes, could give that employee an unfair advantage over other investors.
Buying or selling securities, like stocks and bonds, based on inside information is illegal and the penalties
can be severe. Therefore, if you have inside information about Magna or another company, you are
prohibited from making investments in that company until that information becomes public and investors
have had a chance to evaluate it.
Employees are also not permitted to share inside information with co-workers or people outside Magna if they are
not authorized to receive it. This prohibition extends to sharing inside information with
relatives or close friends .There are even more demanding requirements for the directors and officers of Magna and other designated
individuals listed in the
Policy on Insider Trading and Reporting.
These individuals are prohibited from
buying or selling Magna securities during certain time periods.
Our
Policy on Insider Trading and Reporting
provides guidance on how to avoid insider trading and
improper disclosure.

requirements, Magna has established a Corporate Disclosure Committee consisting of senior corporate
management.
