Corporation ("TRC") to purchase up to 1.5 million common shares of
Canadian Pacific, representing approximately 0.16 percent of the
outstanding shares of common stock, at a price of C$88.50 per share.
CP does not endorse this unsolicited offer, and advises CP
shareholders that the offer has been made at a price 4.37 and 4.49
percent respectively, below market price, as of CP's closing price
on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange on

The Canadian Securities Administrators have issued long-standing
guidance on the practice of mini-tenders, which can be found

Additionally, the SEC has cautioned investors about mini-tender
offers noting that "some bidders make mini-tender offers at
below-market prices, hoping that they will catch investors off
guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the
current market price." The SEC published investor tips
regarding these offers on its website which can be found here.
