CANADIAN
PACIFIC RAILWAY LIMITED AMENDS NORMAL COURSE
ISSUER BID
Calgary, Alberta Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (TSX/NYSE:CP) has completed the necessary
filings to increase the number of common shares that it may purchase under its existing normal
course issuer bid. The increase allows CPR to purchase up to 3,325,000 of its common shares during
the 12 month period ending June 5, 2006. This represents approximately 2.1% of the common shares
outstanding on May 25, 2005, the date of CPRs original notice of its intention to make normal
course issuer bid purchases. CPR purchased 1,761,000 shares under the existing bid in 2005.
As previously announced on February 21, 2006, CPRs Board of Directors has authorized CPR to
purchase up to 5.5 million of its outstanding common shares in 2006 through normal course issuer
bid purchases. This represents approximately 3.5% of its common shares outstanding at December 31,
2005. The amendment to the existing bid enables CPR to purchase a portion of those shares during
the period covered by the existing bid. Subject to regulatory approval, CPR intends to renew the
bid at the time of its scheduled expiry to enable it to purchase the balance of the 5.5 million
shares during 2006.
