NOTICE TO NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS
RE: INTERIM MAILINGS
April 9, 2003
Tesma International Inc. ("Tesma") maintains a Supplemental Mailing List which includes the names of shareholders whose shares are registered in the name of a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, trustee or administrator of a register plan or other intermediary, rather than in their own names. Tesma mails interim financial material (e.g. quarterly reports) directly to such non-registered shareholders on the Supplemental Mailing List. This List is in addition to, and separate from, the Registered Shareholder Mailing List maintained by Tesma's Registrar and Transfer Agent.
If you are a non-registered shareholder and wish to be added to our Supplemental Mailing List so as to receive interim financial material (e.g. quarterly reports) directly from Tesma, please detach and return the reply section of this Notice with your completed proxy. Kindly note that we create our Supplemental Mailing List annually. Alternatively, rather than receiving interim financial material by mail, non-registered shareholders are invited to access these materials on Tesma's website atwww.tesma.com.
Registered shareholders will continue to receive interim mailings and need not reply.
