FORD ANNOUNCES EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS
COLOGNE,
• Lewis Booth appointed president and chief operating officer of Ford Europe
• John Parker appointed executive vice president and assistant to the president at Mazda
• Mazda elects Hisakazu Imaki president and chief executive officer

Germany, Aug. 27, 2003 (4 a.m. August 27 in Cologne; 10 p.m. August 26 in
Dearborn, Mich., USA; 11 a.m. August 27 in Hiroshima, Japan) - Ford Motor Company
[NYSE: F] today announced that Lewis Booth has been named president and chief operating
officer of Ford Europe and that John Parker has been named executive vice president and
assistant to the president at Mazda Motor Corporation. Separately, Mazda's Board of Directors
has elected Hisakazu Imaki as its president and chief executive officer, the details of which are
being announced simultaneously. All appointments are effective immediately.

Booth, 54, succeeds Martin Leach, who resigned from Ford earlier this month. Booth will report
to David Thursfield, executive vice president, International Operations and Global Purchasing.
Booth had been Mazda's president and chief executive officer. Parker, 55, will succeed Imaki,
60, who was executive vice president and chief engineering and manufacturing officer at Mazda.
Previously, Parker was president of Ford's ASEAN Operations, based in Bangkok.

"These appointments strengthen Ford's position in Europe and Asia," Thursfield said. "Lewis
Booth has had broad experience in many regions across the Ford world and is no stranger to our
operations in Europe. We're glad to see his return.

Backed by an experienced team in Europe, many of whom he has known for years, Lewis is in a
great position to address the challenges we face in Europe and to spur us back into a position of
sustained profitability.
"Imaki-san," Thursfield continued, "brings the continuity we seek to strengthen the strong
progress that Mazda has made in recent years. He will be greatly aided by John Parker, whose
global experience and strong ties to Ford Motor Company will certainly benefit Mazda, "
Thursfield noted.

"I couldn't leave Mazda in better hands," said Booth. "I have worked closely with Imaki-san and
know his capabilities well. The leadership team at Mazda is very fortunate to have Imaki-san
and John at the helm. But this is a homecoming for me, and I am looking forward to renewing
the associations that I previously had enjoyed and valued. I know the challenges our industry is
facing in Europe and in many other regions around the world. I believe my years of experience
elsewhere at Ford, as well as at Mazda, a global company itself, strengthens my abilities to do
the job that David has entrusted to me," Booth added.
Richard Parry-Jones, group vice president, product development, and chief technical officer and
a member of the Mazda Advisory Board, noted, "The Mazda global line-up has never been
better, and the new team is in great shape to see the benefits from the work that has been done.
We're very pleased with the progress Mazda has made."
Booth, a Ford Motor Company vice president, joined Mazda in 2002 as senior advisor of
corporate strategy. Prior to that appointment, he was president Asia Pacific and Africa
Operations, a position he held from January 2002. He had responsibilities for South Africa,
Australia, New Zealand and India and for developing Ford's strategy in the Asia-Pacific region.
He joined Ford in 1978 as a financial analysis coordinator with Product Development in Ford
Europe, and during the 1980's and early 1990's held a series of management positions in Britain
and Germany in Finance, Truck Operations, Product Development, Manufacturing and Sales.

Parker began his duties as president of Ford's ASEAN Operations in December 2001 and is
responsible for Ford's operations in Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Thailand.
Prior to this position, Parker was head of Ford Lio Ho in Taiwan for two years.
Parker joined Ford in South Africa in March 1965 and held a number of positions before his
initial assignment in Taiwan, where he rose to director, Technical Operations. In 1989, he was
assigned to Australia, where he became vice president, Product Development. He also served as
president of Ford India from 1994-98.
Ford acquired a 25 percent equity stake in Mazda in 1979 and increased its stake to 33.4 percent
in 1996.
