INVESTMENT GLOBAL OPERATIONS: The Company is the only precision machining
HIGHLIGHTS company with manufacturing operations in three continents.
As vehicle manufacturers utilize common components across
platforms and develop global vehicle platforms, such as "world
cars", that are manufactured and sold in numerous markets around
the world, world class suppliers are being required to maintain a
global manufacturing presence. In recognition of this industry
trend, the Company has made acquisitions that it believes will
provide substantial competitive advantage to pursue new business
around the world. The Company is already experiencing the
benefits of this global sourcing trend as its customers are
requesting the Company to quote on larger programs with global
applications. In addition, the Company believes that the global
presence will allow the Company to leverage its sales
relationship with its current customers, to develop new customers
and to optimize its manufacturing capacity and cost structure.
TECHNOLOGY TRENDS: Electronic content on vehicles has been
increasing and is expected to increase in the future. The
increase in electronic content is largely driven by continued,
and often increasingly stringent, regulatory standards for
automotive emissions and safety as well as consumer demand for
increased vehicle performance and functionality at lower cost.
Electronics integration, which generally refers to replacing
mechanical with electronic components and integration of
mechanical and electrical functions within the vehicle, allows
OEMs to achieve substantial reduction in weight and complexity of
automotive vehicles, resulting in easier assembly, enhanced fuel
economy, improved emissions control and better vehicle
performance. As consumers seek more competitively priced ride and
handling performance, safety, security, communications,
convenience, entertainment and environment-friendly options in
vehicles, the electronic content per vehicle will continue to
increase. The Company's manufacturing and engineering expertise
has enabled the Company to develop electronic integration
experience and position itself as a key supplier for emerging
applications in electronic power assist steering, brake by wire
and electronic fuel injection systems.

HIGHLIGHTS successfully integrated three acquisitions over the last three
(Continued) years. In integrating these acquisitions, Autocam has developed a
skill set reflecting an operating system based on Toyota
Production System principles. The operating system implementation
has allowed the Company to increase its return on invested
capital by removing assets from existing production, reducing
working capital levels, improving facility capacity and reducing
waste in the acquired business. From a quantitative standpoint,
the Company expects to reduce temporary labor by eliminating
approximately 153 positions for a cost savings of approximately
$3.6 million, reduce permanent labor by eliminating approximately
63 positions for a cost savings of approximately $1.9 million,
reduce expedited freight charges by approximately $0.5 million,
reduce material costs through re-engineering efforts thus saving
approximately $0.8 million in 2000, close an entire facility and
transfer the business and equipment to more productive facilities
thus providing cost savings of approximately $0.8 million and
redeploy underutilized assets to handle its growing revenue
opportunities, thus utilizing the assets of the Company more
efficiently. All of these cost reduction and asset utilization
programs are scheduled to occur between 1999 and 2000 and reflect
management's operating expertise and acquisition integration
experience.
ORGANIC GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES: The Company has identified
several opportunities for future growth with its existing

City , StateorProvince PostalCode
Dear Salutation ContactLastName :
On behalf of Autocam Corporation and its affiliates and subsidiaries
(collectively, "Autocam" or the "Company") and its Board of Directors (the
"Board"), we appreciate your continued interest in a transaction ("Transaction")
involving Autocam. This letter sets forth the procedures and timing with respect
to the submission of a final and definitive, binding offer (the "Final
Proposal") to acquire Autocam.
In order to permit you to finalize your Final Proposal, we have also
enclosed a form of Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement"). As described
below, in connection with the submission of the Final Proposal, you will be
asked to submit a mark-up of the Agreement clearly indicating any proposed
changes. The Agreement is structured to result in a sale of stock of Autocam
Corporation through a tender offer. While we recognize that the Agreement is
subject to change based upon the structure of the final transaction, the extent
and nature of any changes made by a prospective purchaser to the form of
Agreement will be taken into consideration in evaluating the Final Proposals.
We request that your Final Proposal for the Company be submitted in
conformity with the following guidelines:
1. The Final Proposal should be submitted in writing to the Company
in care of:
James C. Penman
Managing Director
Roney & Co.
One Griswold
Detroit, MI 48226
Tel: (313) 225-5746
Fax: (313) 963-2303
2. The Final Proposal must be received no later than 5:00 p.m.,
Eastern Daylight Time, on Friday, August 27, 1999.
3. The Final Proposal should specify the cash purchase price in U.S.
dollars to be paid, on a per share basis, to the shareholders for
100% of the outstanding shares and options of Autocam. The Company
has a stated preference for cash offers for the purchase of the
Company and will discount accordingly any non-cash consideration
included in your Final Proposal.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. The Company's unaudited combined balance sheets and statements of
operations, and unaudited proforma combined balance sheets and
statements of operations, for the three and twelve months ended
June 30, 1999 are included with this letter. Your Final Proposal
should be based on the June 30, 1999 balance sheet information
contained in Annex A attached hereto. The Final Proposal should
specify both the Equity Value (as defined below) to be paid to the
Company's shareholders, and the corresponding Enterprise Value (as
defined below), based on the Company's balance sheets as of June
30, 1999. For these purposes, Equity Value shall be defined to
mean the total cash purchase price to be paid to the Company's
shareholders and Enterprise Value shall be defined to mean the
Equity Value, plus the Company's Total Debt, less the Company's
Assets Held for Sale and less Proceeds from Options Outstanding as
of June 30, 1999, each as reflected on Annex A.
5. The Agreement, marked to represent a form that in substance you
are ready to execute, should be submitted with your Final
Proposal. The Final Proposal must state that you are prepared to
execute the Agreement in substance as submitted. PLEASE DO NOT
RETYPE THE AGREEMENT. Please mark your changes on the Agreement
itself. Your willingness to accept the substance of the Agreement
without significant modifications will be an important factor in
the evaluation of Final Proposals.
6. Questions or clarifications regarding specific legal terms of the
Agreement should occur prior to submission of your Final Proposal.
The Company encourages each prospective purchaser's counsel to
discuss the Agreement with Autocam's counsel, Dickinson Wright
PLLC prior to the foregoing deadline for Final Proposals. Requests
for such a discussion and for additional copies of the Agreement
should be directed to:
STUART F. CHENEY, ESQ.
Dickinson Wright PLLC
200 Ottawa Avenue, Suite 900
Grand Rapids, MI 49503-2423
Telephone: (616) 458-1300
Facsimile: (616) 458-6753
7. A description of your plans for financing the acquisition should
be included in your Final Proposal. To the extent that you are
relying on external financing, please provide us with copies of
your executed commitment letters from financing sources as well as
the names and telephone numbers of the lending institutions and
equity participants involved so that we may contact them to
discuss the details of such financing. The Agreement does not
include a provision that makes the purchaser's obligation to close
the transaction contingent upon obtaining financing, and the
inclusion of any such contingency will place a prospective
purchaser at a significant disadvantage.
8. The Agreement does not include a provision that makes the
purchaser's obligation to close the transaction contingent upon
completing further due diligence requirements. All prospective
purchasers are expected to complete their due diligence
investigation of the Company prior to submission of the Final
Proposal. You should make known to Roney & Co. ("Roney" or the
"Advisor") promptly any substantial remaining due diligence issues
in order to resolve them before the submission of your Final
Proposal.

9. All required corporate approvals, including authorization of your
company's Board of Directors, should be obtained prior to
submitting your Final Proposal, your Final Proposal should clearly
indicate any significant conditions to be resolved prior to
closing the transaction.
10. Final Proposals will be evaluated as soon as reasonably
practicable with the objective of expeditiously entering into a
definitive Agreement. In order to provide time for this
evaluation, the Final Proposal must state that it, as well as the
financing commitments, will remain in effect through at least 5:00
p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on October 29, 1999 and that there
are no conditions to your execution of the Agreement other than
mutual agreement as to the terms thereof.
11. The Final Proposal should include the name and telephone number of
a contact person who will be prepared to answer questions
regarding the purchaser's Final Proposal.
The Board intends to enter into a definitive Agreement with that party
that submits the Final Proposal best satisfying the shareholder's objectives. In
selecting a Final Proposal, Autocam, the Board and their advisors will consider
a number of factors but will give significant weight to the following: (i) the
purchase price; (ii) the extent and nature of any revisions to the Agreement;
and (iii) the speed and certainty with which a transaction can be consummated.
The Company reserves the right to deal with any party individually or
simultaneously with other prospective purchasers. The Company also reserves the
right, in its sole discretion, to modify the terms and conditions of the
invitation made by this letter and the terms and conditions set forth in the
Agreement at any time, and to reject any and all Final Proposals without
providing any reasons therefor. The Company or the Advisor may discuss with any
prospective purchaser, at any time, the terms of any Final Proposal submitted by
such party, for the purpose of clarifying the terms of such Final Proposal in
any respect. The Company and the Advisor shall not have any liability to any
prospective purchaser as a result of the rejection of any Final Proposal or the
acceptance of another Final Proposal or other transaction.
A Final Proposal will be considered formally accepted only when a
definitive Agreement has been executed and delivered by the Company. Until such
time, the Company will not have any obligations to any prospective purchaser
with respect to the sale of the Company and following such time the Company's
only obligations will be those set forth in the definitive Agreement. Nothing in
this letter shall be deemed to be a contract of any kind between the Company or
any affiliate and any other party.
The submission of any Final Proposal will constitute an agreement to be
bound by the terms set forth therein. Any party submitting a Final Proposal
shall bear its own costs and expenses of attorneys and advisor, including,
without limitation, any brokers, finders or agents representing such party. Such
costs and expenses shall not be the responsibility of the Company.
The terms of this invitation, as well as the Agreement, which are also
being provided to other interested parties, are subject to the Confidentiality
Agreement relating to the proposed transaction which was previously executed and
delivered by you to Roney.

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRESENT VALUE OF DISCOUNTED CASH FLOWS ("DCF")
This approach argues that a potential investor will pay a price for a security
yields a targed minimum rate of return on invested capital (both to suppliers
of debt and equity). Using this targeted rate of return as a discount factor,
the present value of an estimated future earnings stream for a given number of
years can be computed by discounting each year's estimated earnings to the
present time. Other factors considered include the expected cyclicality or
unpredictability (if any) of a company's earnings and cash flow and the
investors' willingness to wait out a given length of ownership.
To state the premise another way, DCF valuation posits that the buyer purchases
a time series of free cash flows that are generated by the assets purchased.
DCF does not value the total cash flow of the business. Rather, it values only
the free cash flow. In doing so, this analysis seperates and ascribes a value
to only the cash flows that an investor can remove from the business. Cash that
is generated but used to sustain the business (such as increases in working
capital and capital expenditures) is not included in the DCF value. Cash flow
that must be retained in the business creates no incremental value to the buyer.
Before defining free cash flow, another methodological nuance should be noted.
As noted, DCF valuation uses a discount rate that reflects the firms weighted
cost of capital or the price it must pay to suppliers or both debt and equity.
Accordingly, discounted free cash flow is independent of financing costs. For
Autocam Corporation, we have considered managements' projected financial
statements to estimate Free Cash Flow.
TERMINAL VALUE
DCF valuation is composed of two values; a forecast of free cash flows for some
term of years and a terminal value that is a surrogate for the present value of
the DCF's that are expected to occur in the years after the end of the forecast
period.
Terminal value at the end of the period of cash flow forecasts may be arrived
at in different ways, such as estimating book value, applying a price/earnings
multiple to forecasted earnings or employing a cash flow multiple. We feel
using a cash flow multiple is most consistent with DCF methodology. In essence,
this technique multiplies the operating income in the last year of the forecast
by a multiplier that attempts to estimate the value of cash flows in
perpetuity.
COST OF CAPITAL (DISCOUNT RATE)
Once the free cash flows and terminal values are estimated, the present value of
these components is calculated. The acquirer is paying today for access to the
cash flows generated by the assets in the future; therefore, these cash flows
must be discounted to the present. The proper discount rate can be estimated
by calculating the marginal weighted average cost of capital. In essence, the
discount rate attempts to approximate the rate of return the suppliers of
capital will expect to earn. In Autocam's instance, because of its asset
structure, working capital liquidity needs and capitalization requirements, a
purchaser would not be able to borrow all of the acquisition funds on a senior
basis. Thus, a component of the capital structure could, by necessity, consist
of equity related subordinated debt, commonly referred to "mezzanine capital",
along with a substantial amount of equity.

COMPARABLE PUBLIC COMPANY ANALYSIS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARKET COMPARISON APPROACH
This approach assumes that a degree of comparability exists between the Company
and other similar firms for which a value has been established over a five-year
time horizon in an active and free trading market. Once similarity is
established, the relationship to market value is expressed as a Price/Earnings
ratio. This ratio, then, may be modified to reflect special conditions, risks,
or opportunities, which are unique to the Company.
There are obvious problems in identifying publicly traded firms whose total
business parallels the Company's. Generally, the Company's area of operations is
not identically represented in the operations of the companies to which it is
being compared. Despite this difficulty, we feel this method provides a valid
technique for the valuation of the Company in a stable market environment over a
suitable analytical period.

ACQUISITION VALUE
The acquisition value of a company seeks to estimate the price at which the
company would "trade in the market for corporate control." Acquisition value is
the price an acquirer would pay to control the target's assets and the free cash
flows (FCF) they generate. Transactions occur in the public market almost daily
at prices significantly above current secondary trading levels. The premium paid
over the market trading level of the stock of a company is, in fact, a derived
figure rather than an analytical tool(1). When the various valuation methods
justify a price over current trading prices, then a premium price is paid. The
price paid rests on the conclusion of the analysis. To some degree, the prices
paid are a result of the intense amount of competition among buyers for quality
businesses and to a greater degree they reflect the economic benefits of all the
synergies that a buyer may bring to a seller in a corporate combination.
Thus, the value of a company (its intrinsic value) as an independent entity
often will be different than the value of the company when it is combined with
another firm. The acquisition value will reflect incremental cash flow generated
by consolidated tax savings, cost savings due to the elimination of redundant
operations, distribution economies, or other business benefits.
The first step in this approach is to determine a sample of comparable companies
that have been involved in a merger or acquisition. From a comparability
standpoint, we look at the following aspects of a company: industry, products,
processes, customers, distribution channels, and suppliers among others.
