ACO.Y ATCO Ltd

The Toronto Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") has accepted ATCO Ltd.'s (the
"Corporation") Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the
"Notice") pursuant to which the Corporation indicated that it intends to make a
normal course issuer bid for certain of its outstanding Class I Non-Voting
Shares ("Class I Shares") on the terms set forth in the Notice. At the time of
filing the Notice, the Board of Directors of the Corporation was of the belief,
and continues to be of the belief, that the purchase of Class I Shares from time
to time at appropriate prices will minimize any dilution resulting from the
exercise of stock options to purchase Class I Shares and is an advantageous use
of the Corporation's funds.


On May 15, 2008, 50,715,796 Class I Shares were outstanding. Under the rules of
the Exchange, in the period commencing on May 29, 2008 and ending on May 28,
2009, the Corporation may acquire up to 2,535,789 Class I Shares of the
Corporation, being 5% of the Class I Shares outstanding as at May 15, 2008. If
market conditions permit, the directors of the Corporation presently anticipate
that the Corporation will acquire up to 1,521,473 Class I Shares, which
represents 3% of the Class I Shares outstanding as at May 15, 2008 that may be
purchased pursuant to the Notice. The average daily trading volume for the six
calendar months preceding the date of the acceptance of the Notice was 87,282
Class I Shares.


Any shares purchased pursuant to the Notice will be cancelled. Shares will be
purchased at the market price of the shares at the time of purchase and will be
purchased on behalf of the Corporation by a registered investment dealer through
the facilities of the Exchange. The funding for any purchase of Class I Shares
pursuant to the normal course issuer bid will be financed out of working capital
of the Corporation.


The Corporation has purchased 722,900 Class I Shares at an average trading price
of 54.89 during the 12-month period preceding the date hereof pursuant to a
normal course issuer bid which commenced on May 29, 2007 and expires on May 28,
2008. All of such purchases were made by means of open market transactions
through the facilities of the Exchange. If market conditions permit, the
Corporation intends to purchase additional Class I Shares through the facilities
of the Exchange at the market price of such shares at the time of the purchase
pursuant to the normal course issuer bid that will expire on May 28, 2008.


A copy of the Notice may be obtained by any shareholder without charge by
contacting the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation at the head office of the
Corporation.
