The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans

Aurora, Ontario, Canada

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans (the Plan) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Plan’s management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Supplemental Information

 

The supplemental information in the accompanying Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year), Schedule of Reportable Transactions, and Schedule of Delinquent Participant Contributions as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but included supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

 

The information presented in the Schedule of Reportable Transactions does not disclose the historical cost of certain sales transactions and the related gain or loss. Disclosure of this information is required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

 

We have served as the Plan’s auditor since 2007.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1.   Description of the Plan

 

The following description of The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the restated Plan Agreement or Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General

 

Certain employees of Magna International of America, Inc. (the Primary Employer) and other participating subsidiaries and affiliates of the Primary Employer (collectively, the Employer) are eligible to participate in the Plan.

 

The Plan was established by the Primary Employer as the Magna International of America 401(k) Plan on August 1, 1992. The Primary Employer restated the Plan’s terms, provisions and conditions effective January 1, 2016.

 

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan Agreement provides that the Plan may invest in stock of Magna International Inc. (Magna), the parent company of the Primary Employer.

 

The Plan is administered by the Primary Employer and individuals appointed by the Board of Directors of the Primary Employer. Principal Trust Company (Principal) is the appointed Trustee of the Plan.

 

401(k) Eligibility

 

An employee is eligible to participate on the first day of employment, and shall be eligible for matching contributions on the first day of the month following six months of service and attainment of 18 years of age.

 

Deferred Profit-Sharing Eligibility

 

An employee is eligible to receive profit-sharing contributions if the employee is employed at a participating employer on the last day of the plan year and the employee received compensation for 1,000 hours of service in the plan year.

 

Contributions and Automatic Enrollment

 

The 401(k) portion of the Plan is funded by contributions from employees who may elect to contribute from 1% to 50% of wages, as defined, subject to the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). The Employer may make a discretionary matching contribution. For the 2019 and 2018 plan years, the employer matching contribution was 50% of the first 6% of base earnings contributed by a participant, unless a collective bargaining agreement states differently. Employees may also defer 1% to 100% of their bonus for a given year, which is not eligible for a matching contribution by the Employer. Participants in the Plan may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans.

 

Employees are automatically enrolled after a 30-day opt-out period. The Employer withholds an amount equal to a percentage of eligible employee compensation (other than bonus pay), until such time as the employee changes or stops the contribution.

The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

New hires are automatically enrolled at 6% of employee compensation (other than bonus pay), except for newly hired employees covered under certain collective bargaining agreements and will be automatically enrolled at 3%.

 

The Plan has an automatic increase feature whereby the contribution percentage is increased by 1% per year up to a maximum contribution percentage of 6% for participants making a contribution of less than 6%, unless the employee changes or stops the contribution. The automatic increase does not apply to certain employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

 

The deferred profit-sharing portion of the Plan is a non-contributory, defined contribution plan funded by discretionary Employer contributions as determined under the provisions of the Plan, which are generally based on years of service and consolidated profits as determined by the Employer.

 

Participant Accounts

 

Individual participant accounts are maintained by Principal and are credited with employee contributions, Employer contributions, and Plan earnings in the case of the 401(k) portion of the Plan, and allocations of Employer contributions, Plan earnings, and forfeitures of former participants’ non-vested amounts in the case of the deferred profit-sharing portion of the Plan. Allocations of contributions and forfeitures in the deferred profit-sharing portion of the Plan are based upon compensation and years of service, as defined, while allocations of earnings are recognized by changes in the unit value. Such accounts are valued periodically in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

 

Vesting

 

Vesting for the deferred profit-sharing portion of the Plan occurs on the following schedule:

 

Number of Full Years of Service

 

Vested Percentage

 

 

 

 

 

Less than 1

 

0

3

 

60

5 and after

 

100

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts allocated or re-allocated to a participant shall vest irrevocably to that participant not later than five years after the end of the plan year in which the amounts are allocated or re-allocated, unless the participant has ceased before that time to be an employee. Immediate full vesting also occurs upon a participant’s death, total and permanent disability, permanent layoff, or attainment of normal retirement age of 60.

 

For the 401(k) portion of the Plan, participants are 100% vested immediately in Employer and employee contributions and allocated earnings thereon.

Forfeitures

 

For the deferred profit-sharing portion of the Plan, the non-vested portion of a terminated participant’s account balance is allocated to other Plan participants. During 2019 and 2018, allocated forfeitures were $1,981 thousand and $1,933 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $2,225 thousand and $1,774 thousand, respectively.

 

Plan Benefits

 

For the deferred profit-sharing portion of the Plan, participants are eligible to receive vested benefits based upon the most recent valuation of their account upon termination of service with the Employer. Under certain provisions of the Plan, a percentage of vested benefits may also be distributed after 10 continuous years of service and/or upon reaching age 55. Distributions of Plan benefits are made to eligible participants in one lump-sum payment. Only vested balances of a participant’s profit-sharing contribution account as of December 31, 2007 are eligible for in-service withdrawals.

 

For the 401(k) portion of the Plan, upon retirement, death, disability or termination of service, benefits will be paid in the form of a lump-sum distribution. Certain other withdrawals are permitted in the event of financial hardship, as defined in the Plan Agreement.

 

Notes Receivable From Participants

 

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, excluding amounts related to the participant’s deferred profit-sharing account. The portion of the account invested in the Primary Employer’s stock may not be redeemed for purposes of a loan.  Participant note terms range from one to five years, or up to 10 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The notes are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at the then current Prime plus 2% as determined by the Plan Administrator. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions, not less frequently than quarterly. As of December 31, 2019, outstanding notes receivable had interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 7.50%.

 

Plan Termination

 

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Employer has the right to terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan is terminated, all participant accounts will become 100% vested and non-forfeitable.

 

Participant and Non-Participant Directed Investments

 

Participants may invest in Magna International Inc. Stock (Employer Securities). For the deferred profit-sharing portion of the Plan, 4/7th of the annual profit-sharing contribution, as defined, is invested in Employer Securities, referred to as the non-participant directed portion of the Plan. The remaining portion of the annual profit-sharing contribution is directed by the employee and may include investments in Employer Securities. Participants may diversify up to 100% of Magna stock held in their account at any time. Voting rights are all retained by the trustee per the direction of the Employer.

Administrative Expenses

 

The Employer administers the Plan. The Employer pays certain administrative expenses of the Plan, and the Employer also provides certain administrative services which have not been charged to the Plan. The amount of such expenses and cost of such services have not been determined. Certain administrative expenses not paid directly by the Employer may be paid from the Plan in accordance with ERISA provisions.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Financial Statements

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the accrual basis of accounting.

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for the fair value measurements in Topic 820, including the elimination, modification to, and addition of certain disclosures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The provisions of the ASU are not expected to have a material impact on the Plan’s financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

All Plan investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Plan’s management determines the Plan’s valuation policies utilizing information provided by the investment advisors, Plan trustee and custodian. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.

 

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Notes Receivable From Participants

 

Participant loans are classified as notes receivable from participants, and are measured at the unpaid principal balance plus unpaid accrued interest. Defaulted loans, if any, are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan Document.

 

Concentration of Investments

 

Included in investments at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are shares of the Employer’s securities amounting to $378 million and $326 million, respectively. This investment represents 20% and 21% of total investments at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. A significant decline in the market value of the Employer’s securities would significantly affect the net assets available for benefits.

 

Payment of Benefits

 

Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

3.   Investments

 

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Plan utilizes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.

 

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

The following valuation methodologies were used to measure the fair value of the Plan’s investments. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

The Principal Stable Value Fund: Daily valued by the trustee, Principal Global Investors Trust Company, based on the underlying investments which consist primarily of a diversified portfolio of stable value investment contracts issued by life insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions, the performance of which may be predicated on underlying fixed income investments. The Fund provides for daily redemptions at the reported net asset value (NAV). Participants are permitted to redeem units at NAV on the valuation date.

 

11


Table of Contents

 

The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Pooled separate accounts (PSAs): Valued based on the underlying investments (i.e. stock, mutual funds, short-term securities). While the majority of the underlying assets values are based on quoted prices, the NAV of the pooled separate account is not publicly quoted. The NAV is reported by the fund managers as of the financial statement date based on recent transaction prices. The PSAs held by the Plan provide for daily redemptions by the Plan at reported NAV with no advance notice requirement. The Plan is permitted to redeem investment units at NAV on the measurement date. Principal Life Insurance Company may place transfer or liquidation restrictions on the U.S. Property Separate Account. No such restrictions were in place during 2019 or 2018. Generally, the PSA investments in any class can be transferred once every 30 days at the current NAV per share based on the fair value of the underlying assets. Participants are not allowed to transfer back into that originating class until the 30-day period has expired.

 

Common/collective trusts (CCTs): Valued at the NAV of the units held by the Plan which are based on the quoted market prices of the underlying securities of the funds. The unit price is based on the value of the underlying investment assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The CCTs provide for daily redemptions by the Plan at reported NAV, with no advance notice requirements.

 

Employer securities: Valued at the closing price quoted on a recognized securities exchange.

 

Mutual funds: Valued at quoted market prices of shares held by the Plan.

 

Deferred income annuities: The Principal Pension Builder is an investment option which allows participants to purchase deferred income annuities issued by Principal Life Insurance Company. These assets can be transferred in the future to other investment options within the Plan or surrendered. Transactions that occur prior to the commencement of guaranteed income payments are realized at the lower of contract value (or return of premium) or an adjusted contract value that takes into account the current rates of interest available in the marketplace as well as mortality factors. The fair market value of the annuities is the value paid when funds are withdrawn prior to the income start date. The annuities are reported at fair value which approximates contract value.

 

Life insurance policies: Valued at the cash surrender value of the individual policies.

 

The Plan’s valuation methods may result in a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Although Plan management believes the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with the market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

5.   Related Party Transactions

 

Certain Plan investments are stable value funds, common/collective trusts, pooled separate accounts and mutual funds managed by Principal Trust Company (Principal). Principal is the trustee as defined by the Plan and qualifies as a party-in-interest. The Plan also invests in stock of the Employer. The 6,890,020 and 7,162,935 shares of Magna International Inc. stock held by the Plan as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, represent approximately 2.19% and 2.07% of the Corporation’s total outstanding shares of stock, respectively, as of those dates.

 

6.   Income Tax Status

 

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated March 15, 2018 stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. The Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Document has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that, as of December 31, 2019, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

 

7.   Delinquent Participant Contributions

 

The Employer failed to remit certain employee deferrals and loan repayments to the Plan in a timely manner according to DOL regulations during 2019 and 2018 aggregating $2,469 thousand and $2,365 thousand, respectively. The Employer has calculated lost earnings and deposited the lost earnings into the Plan for 2018 and a portion of 2019. The Employer is in the process of depositing the remaining 2019 lost earnings.

8. Subsequent Event Disclosure

 

COVID-19 Outbreak

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the COVID-19 outbreak) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

 

This pandemic has adversely affected global economic activity and greatly contributed to significant deterioration and instability in financial markets. As a result, the Plan’s investment portfolio has incurred a significant decline in fair value since December 31, 2019. Because the values of the Plan’s individual investments have and will fluctuate in response to changing market conditions, the amount of losses that will be recognized in subsequent periods, if any, and related impact on the Plan’s liquidity cannot be determined at this time.

 

CARES Act Implementation

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act, among other things, includes several relief provisions available to tax-qualified retirement plans and their participants. Plan management is currently evaluating the impact of the CARES Act on the Plan’s financial statements.

 

Legal Action

 

On April 30, 2020, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan against Magna International of America, Inc. and its Board of Directors, the Magna International of America, Inc. Investment Committee, the United States Pension and Retirement Savings Committee, and several unnamed individuals (the Defendants). The Complaint alleges claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) for breach of fiduciary duty and failure to monitor other fiduciaries with respect to the fees and expenses associated with investment options in the Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans. The plaintiffs seek various forms of relief, including damages and declaratory and injunctive relief. The Defendants believe the suit is without merit and therefore intend to vigorously defend the case. Given the early stages of the legal proceedings, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the claim.
