COOPER-STANDARD AUTOMOTIVE TO UTILIZE 30-DAY GRACE PERIOD FOR NOTE PAYMENTS

Continues Discussions with Stakeholders

Novi, Mich. – June 15, 2009 – Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc., the parent company of Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc., announced today that it would utilize a 30-day grace period on interest payments scheduled for today on its 7 percent Senior Notes due 2012 (“the Senior Notes”) and its 8 3/8 percent Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (“the Senior Subordinated Notes”) to allow the company and its sponsors to continue discussions with the company’s lenders to increase liquidity and improve its capital structure. The company said that the missed interest payments do not constitute an event of default under the bond indentures governing the notes and will not constitute an event of default unless the 30-day grace period expires without the interest being paid, absent an extension or forbearance of such payments.

“The challenges facing the automotive industry today are unprecedented. While we have been implementing a range of initiatives to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency and preserve adequate liquidity, given current global economic and market realities, it is clear that we must evaluate our options to improve our financial position and help ensure that we can continue to be competitive for the long-term. While we will use the 30-day grace period to discuss options with our lenders and other parties, the discussions do not affect our commitment to continue providing our customers with reliable products and services, and we do not anticipate that the discussions will impact our ability to continue to pay our suppliers or our ability to conduct normal operations in the United States or overseas markets in the ordinary course of business,” said James S. McElya, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cooper-Standard.

Additional details about the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes are available in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
