To protect Magna’s reputation and your own, it is important that all of your written communications be
prepared with care and with the understanding that they could one day be made public. While you enjoy
freedom of speech and all legal entitlements to communicate on the Internet during non-working hours
using your own personal computer systems, you must also be careful not to post to social media material
that defames the company, disparages suppliers or customers, reveals trade secrets, or violates Magna’s
copyright and patent rights.
Additionally, if someone such as a news media reporter, an industry professional or a shareholder asks
you to discuss or comment on matters related to Magna, you must refer them to an authorized Magna
spokesperson without providing comments.

Q: I occasionally air out my frustrations with one
of our suppliers on my Facebook page, where I
have 250 friends. I do this on my own time and
my settings are private so that only my friends
and family can see these updates. Is that okay?
A: No. Postings on social media do not always
remain private. You must refrain from
disparaging Magna’s suppliers in any public
forum. If your concern about our supplier relates
to violations of the Code, you must report it to a
supervisor or a Legal Compliance expert, or use
the
Good Business Line .Other concerns are
best addressed by using
Magna’s Open Door
Process
.
Q: I found some inaccurate information about
Magna’s recent financial results in a newspaper
article posted online. I would like to leave a
comment on the newspaper’s website with the
correct information. Should I do so?
A: No. You should promptly inform someone
in Corporate Communications or Investor
Relations about the inaccurate information.
If you post about Magna’s business, you are
acting as an unauthorized spokesperson for the
company.
