The actual number of common shares that will be repurchased under the NCIB, and the timing of any such
purchases, will be determined by CPKC, subject to the limits imposed by the TSX, the NYSE and applicable securities laws in Canada and the United States. There cannot be any assurances as to how many common shares, if any, will ultimately be
acquired by CPKC.
CPKC believes that the purchase of its shares from time to time is an appropriate and advantageous use of its funds.
