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 CPR’s 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, CPR’s 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.
