Release: Immediate, March 26, 2007
CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY LIMITED IMPLEMENTS AN INCREASED SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
CALGARY, Alberta Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (TSX/NYSE: CP) announces that it
intends to complete the necessary filings today to receive the approval of the Toronto
Stock Exchange to terminate its existing normal course issuer bid due to expire on June 5,
2007 and implement a new normal course issuer bid to permit the purchase for cancellation
up to 4,975,000 of its outstanding common shares (or approximately 3.2% percent of the
155,534,263 common shares outstanding at March 15, 2007) during the period commencing on
March 28, 2007 and ending March 27, 2008, provided that not more than 4,230,080 Common
Shares may be purchased by CPR during the period commencing March 28, 2007 to June 5,
2007.
Under CPRs existing normal course issuer bid due to expire June 5, 2007, CPR purchased an
aggregate of 3,685,982 common shares during the period commencing on June 6, 2006 and
ending February 28, 2007 at an average price of $57.17 per share. All purchases under
CPRs existing normal course issuer bid have ceased and the existing normal course issuer
bid has been terminated.
CPRs purpose and business reason for making purchases pursuant to the normal course
issuer bid is that it 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. The price CPR will pay for
any common shares will be the market price at the time of purchase or such other price as
may be permitted by the Toronto Stock Exchange. Purchases may be made through the
facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, and will be in
accordance with the normal course issuer bid procedures under Canadian securities laws and
the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Additionally, purchases under the new normal
course issuer bid 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).
