Linamar Corporation (TSX:LNR) today announced the repatriation of funds held in
escrow in Hungary intended for the repurchase of shares of Linamar Hungary NYRT.
Linamar announced it was making an offer to purchase all of the outstanding
ordinary shares of Linamar Hungary NYRT in February of 2007. The offer expired
in May 2007.


Volatility in global currency markets had resulted in the company realizing non
cash gains and losses intermittently throughout 2007. Repatriation of the money
back to Canada into Canadian dollars removes this noise from the company's P&L.


The money was repatriated at the same exchange rate at which it was placed in
escrow.
