October 15 - Magna Entertainment Corp. Announces Amendments and Extensions of Financing Arrangements

Magna Entertainment Corp. (Nasdaq: MECA) (TSX: MEC.A) (“MEC” or the “Company”) announced changes to certain of its financing arrangements including:

1) Extending the maturity date of its $40 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Senior Bank Facility") with a Canadian-chartered bank from October 15, 2008 to November 17, 2008; and

2) Extending the maturity date of its bridge loan facility (the "Bridge Loan") with a subsidiary (the "MID Lender") of MI Developments Inc. ("MID"), MEC's controlling shareholder, from October 31, 2008 to December 1, 2008 and increasing the maximum commitment available from $110 million to $125 million. MEC is also now permitted to redraw amounts that it repaid in July 2008 (approximately $4.5 million) such that the amount available to MEC under the Bridge Loan will be increased by approximately $19.5 million.

Also, further draws under the Bridge Loan will not be permitted after November 17, 2008 unless the Senior Bank Facility is further extended or replaced.

MEC has received a notice from the MID Lender advising that a required repayment of $100.0 million under the Gulfstream Park project financing with the MID Lender has also been extended to December 1, 2008, during which time any repayments made under the Gulfstream Park facility or Remington Park facility will not be subject to a make-whole payment.

MEC incurred a fee of $0.4 million in connection with the extension of the Senior Bank Facility, a fee of $1.25 million in connection with the extension of the Bridge Loan and an extension fee of $1.0 million under the Gulfstream Park facility.

As we have previously disclosed, although we continue to take steps to implement our debt elimination plan, real estate and credit markets have continued to demonstrate weakness to date in 2008 and we do not expect that we will be able to complete asset sales at acceptable prices as quickly or for amounts as originally contemplated. As a result, combined with our upcoming debt maturities and our operational funding requirements, we will again need to seek extensions or additional funds in the short-term from one or more possible sources. The availability of such extensions or additional funds from existing lenders, including our controlling shareholder, or from other sources is not assured and, if available, the terms thereof are not determinable at this time.

Consideration of the amendments to the financing arrangements with the MID Lender was supervised by the Special Committee of MEC's board of directors consisting of Jerry D. Campbell (Chairman), Anthony J. Campbell and William J. Menear. The approval of MEC's board followed a favorable recommendation of the Special Committee.

MEC will file a material change report as soon as practicable after issuing this press release. The material change report will be filed less than 21 days prior to the closing of the loan amendments. The timing of the material change report is, in MEC's view, both necessary and reasonable because the terms of the amendments were settled and approved by MEC's board of directors and MEC requires immediate funding to address its short-term liquidity needs.
