Linamar Mémo aux actionnaires : OBJET : Plan de l'administration américaine d'imposer des droits de douane de 25% sur les produits canadiens

February 3, 2025

Dear Shareholder,

We are writing to give you an update on the tariff situation following the announcements over the weekend of tariffs
imposed on trade starting tomorrow, Tuesday February 4th.

The key messages are:

1. This is a fluid situation and we are keeping close to the situation and customers to manage it
2. Tariffs on product shipping to the US are across the board, tariffs on product shipping to Canada and
   Mexico are more targeted and don’t include most manufactured products meaning the most impactful tariffs
   for us will be those imposed by the US
3. Because the tariffs imposed by the US include auto parts we are likely to see our customers slow or cease
   production in the near term

Here is a recap on what has happened so far:
