Faurecia has signed today an agreement to acquire the German activities of Plastal – a
leading supplier of plastic exterior parts for the automotive industry. Once the deal is
completed, Plastal Germany will join the Faurecia Automotive Exteriors business group, to
become the new European leader for automotive exterior parts.

A new step in market consolidation

Based in Weissenburg (Germany), Plastal posted 2009 sales of EUR 408 million with nine car
manufacturers. It employs 2,000 people at six industrial sites and one R&D center in
Germany.

With this acquisition of Plastal Germany, Faurecia Automotive Exteriors:

- broadens its customer base, mainly with Ford and the four German “premium”
brands: Audi, BMW, Daimler and Porsche;
- enlarges its product offering and acquires additional expertise in the production of
plastic parts, beyond its bumper core business;
- reinforces its industrial footprint and its R&D capacity in Germany.

The cash-out for the acquisition of Plastal’s industrial assets (including real estate to be
acquired from third parties) and customer contracts –subject to obtaining approval of the
European anti-trust authorities– is comprised between EUR 23 and 33 million, depending on
adjustment mechanisms to be decided upon closing of the deal.

Yann Delabrière, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Faurecia, stated: “Like the
acquisition of EMCON Technologies for emissions control technologies, this new
consolidation deal ideally complements the activity of Faurecia Automotive Exteriors, which
is now the European leader on its market. It will be best positioned to supply its customers
with the best solutions in terms of safety, perceived quality and vehicle weight reduction;
which represent a major challenge for tomorrow’s vehicles. This acquisition is accretive on
the operational margin as early as 2010. It takes place at a very reasonable cost and with no
significant increase of Faurecia’s debt.”
