Linamar Corporation (TSX:LNR) ("Linamar" or the "Corporation") announces that
its Board of Directors (the "Board") has adopted a majority voting policy with
respect to the election of directors in uncontested elections. In the instance
of a nominee receiving more "withheld" than "for" votes, the Human Resources
Corporate Governance Committee will consider whether to ask the nominee who has
more "withheld" than "for" votes to resign, make a recommendation to the Board,
and the board will determine the action to take. This policy will come into
effect at the next Annual General Shareholders meeting in May of 2011.


Linda Hasenfratz, Linamar's Chief Executive Officer, stated that "assessing key
shareholder concerns is part of our Board's continuous review and improvement
process. Clearly majority voting is an aspect of governance that is important to
our shareholders. We always strive to achieve a good balance of customer,
employee and shareholder satisfaction at Linamar and feel this move will achieve
just that."
