Linamar Corporation (TSX:LNR) ("Linamar" or the "Company") announced today that
the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has accepted Linamar's notice of intention to
renew its normal course issuer bid (the "Notice") in respect of common shares of
the Company. The Notice will enable Linamar to acquire up to 3,791,858 of its
outstanding common shares pursuant to the normal course issuer bid, representing
10% of the public float as at January 30, 2009. The price that Linamar will pay
for any such shares will be the market price of the common shares on the TSX at
the time of acquisition. Common shares purchased under the bid will be
cancelled. Subject to the Company's ability to make "block" purchases through
the facilities of the TSX, the maximum number of shares that the Company may
purchase on any trading day is up to 88,015 shares during any trading day on or
before March 31, 2009 and up to 44,007 shares during any trading day thereafter.


Linamar's previous normal course issuer bid for its common shares expired on
January 30, 2009. As of January 30, 2009, Linamar had purchased, at an average
price of $12.87 per share, 5,084,600 of the 5,084,699 common shares approved for
purchase under such bid. The Company has 64,701,876 common shares issued and
outstanding as of January 30, 2009.


Purchases under the renewed bid may commence on February 9, 2009 and will end on
February 8, 2010 or on such earlier date as Linamar may complete its purchases
pursuant to the Notice or provides notice of termination of the bid.


All purchases will be made through the facilities and in accordance with the
requirements of the TSX. Linamar believes that the purchase of its common shares
from time to time under the normal course issuer bid is in the best interests of
the Company and represents a desirable use of the Company's funds.
