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 intends to make a normal course
issuer bid ("NCIB") 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 February 22, 2011, 51,074,956 Class I Shares were issued and outstanding.
Under the terms of the Notice and the rules of the Exchange, the Corporation may
acquire up to 1,532,248 Class I Shares of the Corporation (being 3% of the Class
I Shares issued and outstanding as at February 22, 2011, excluding any Class I
Shares held by or on behalf of the Corporation on such date), during the period
commencing on March 1, 2011 and ending on February 29, 2012 or such earlier date
on which the Corporation completes its purchases of Class I Shares under the
NCIB or terminates the NCIB at its option. The aggregate number of Class I
Shares that the Corporation may purchase under the NCIB during any trading day
is subject to a maximum daily purchase limit of 15,846 Class I Shares (being the
25% average daily trading volume for the six calendar months preceding the date
of the acceptance of the Notice) from March 1, 2011 to the termination of the
NCIB. Exceptions may be made to this daily purchase limit in accordance with the
"block purchase" exemptions of the Exchange policy.


Any Class I Shares purchased pursuant to the Notice will be cancelled. Class I
Shares will be purchased at the market price of the Class I 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 and any alternate
trading systems through which trades of the Class I Shares may be effected under
applicable securities laws. Any purchase of Class I Shares pursuant to the NCIB
will be financed out of working capital of the Corporation.


The Corporation purchased 499,200 Class I Shares at an average trading price of
$54.59 during the most recent 12- month period preceding the date hereof
pursuant to a normal course issuer bid which commenced on March 1, 2010 and
expires on February 28, 2011. All of such purchases were made by means of open
market transactions through the facilities of the Exchange. Trustees under the
pension plans of affiliates of the Corporation purchased no Class I Shares
during the 12-month period preceding the date hereof.


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