CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY LIMITED
Notice Of Intention To Make Normal Course Issuer Bid
Notice is hereby given that Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (the Corporation or CPR) intends
to make normal course issuer bid purchases of its outstanding common shares (the Common Shares)
as set forth in this notice. The issued and outstanding Common Shares are listed on the Toronto
Stock Exchange (the TSX) and the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) under the trading symbol
CP.
1. Name of Issuer
Canadian Pacific Railway Limited
Suite 500, 401 9th Avenue, S.W.
Calgary, Alberta T2P 4Z4
2. Shares Sought
The Corporation may purchase up to 4,975,000 Common Shares pursuant to this Notice of Intention,
representing approximately 3.2% of the 155,534,263 Common Shares outstanding as of March 15, 2007,
provided that not more than 4,230,080 Common Shares may be purchased by the Corporation during the
period commencing March 28, 2007 to June 5, 2007. Although the Corporation has a present intention
to acquire Common Shares, it is not obligated to make any purchases. All Common Shares purchased
pursuant to the bid will be cancelled.
3. Duration
Purchases may be made during the 12 month period commencing on March 28, 2007 and ending March 27,
2008.
4. Method of Acquisition
The shares will be purchased from time to time through the facilities of the TSX and the NYSE. The
purchase and payment for the Common Shares will be made by the Corporation in accordance with the
policies of the exchange through which the Common Shares are purchased. Purchases under this notice
will be made by means of open market transactions or such other means as may be permitted by the
TSX (which may include pre-arranged crosses).
5. Consideration Offered
The price that the Corporation will pay for any shares acquired by it will be the market price of
the Common Shares at the time of acquisition or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX.
The Corporation presently intends to fund the purchase of the Common Shares pursuant to the normal
course issuer bid from its working capital, which may include funding derived from cash flow or
from borrowing, proceeds from
- 2 -
dispositions, proceeds from employee share purchases or other sources. There are no restrictions
on the consideration to be offered by the Corporation.
6. Reasons for the Normal Course Issuer Bid
The purpose and business reason for purchases made pursuant to the normal course issuer bid is that
the Corporation believes that the market price of its Common Shares could be such that the purchase
of Common Shares may be an attractive and appropriate use of corporate funds in light of potential
benefits to remaining shareholders.
7. Valuation
To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Corporation, after reasonable inquiry,
no independent appraisal or valuation or material non-independent appraisal or valuation regarding
the Corporation, its material assets or securities has been prepared within the last two years
preceding the date hereof.
8. Previous Purchases
During the period commencing June 6, 2006 and ending February 28, 2007, the Corporation purchased
an aggregate of 3,685,982 Common Shares by way of normal course issuer bid purchases pursuant to
its then existing normal course issuer bid (which was terminated upon acceptance by the TSX of this
Notice of Intention) at an average price of $57.17 per share. No additional Common Shares were
purchased by the Corporation subsequent to February 28, 2007 and prior to the date hereof.
9. Persons Acting Jointly or in Concert With the Issuer
No person or company is acting jointly or in concert with the Corporation in connection with the
normal course issuer bid.
10. Acceptance by Insiders, Affiliates and Associates
To the knowledge of the directors and officers of the Corporation, after reasonable inquiry, none
of the directors or senior officers of the Corporation, nor any associates thereof, nor any person
holding 10% or more of any class of equity securities of the Corporation, presently intends to sell
any Common Shares during the course of the normal course issuer bid. It is possible, however, that
sales by such persons may occur as a result of the exercise by such persons of outstanding options
during the course of the normal course issuer bid or as a result of personal circumstances or
decisions unrelated to the existence of the normal course issuer bid.
The Corporation does not have any contract, arrangement or understanding, formal or informal, with
any holder of the Common Shares with respect to its proposed purchase of shares under the normal
course issuer bid.
- 3 -
11. Benefits from the Normal Course Issuer Bid
There is no direct or indirect benefit arising from the normal course issuer bid to any of the
persons or companies named in Item 10 other than those available to all shareholders of the
Corporation.
12. Material Changes in the Affairs of the Issuer
There are no material changes or plans or proposals for material changes in the affairs of the
Corporation that have not previously been publicly disclosed.
13. Certificate
The undersigned, duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, certifies that this
notice is complete and accurate and in compliance with Part 6 of the Rules and Policies of the TSX.
This notice contains no untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit to state a material
fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in the
light of the circumstances in which it is made.
Calgary, March 23, 2007.
