Mr Peter Bieber has retired from the Company’s Board of Directors with effect from 30 August 2010.

Mr Bieber first retired in May 2008 after eleven years as a non-executive Director. He was reappointed to the
Board with effect from 1 March 2009 as a non-executive Director during a particularly difficult time for the Group
and the global automotive industry.

The benefit of his wisdom and experience has been particularly important over the past 18 months. Once again,
we thank him for his invaluable and insightful involvement and direction.
