CP: Shareholders should reject TRC mini-tender offer

Canadian Pacific today announced it has received notice of an unsolicited mini-tender offer from TRC Capital Investment Corp. to purchase up to 1.5 million common shares of CP, representing approximately 0.16% of the outstanding shares of common stock at a price of CA$88.50 per share.

CP does not endorse this unsolicited offer, and advised CP shareholders that the offer has been made at a price of 4.37% and 4.49%, respectively, below market price as of CP's closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange on May 2, the date of the offer, CP officials said in a press release.

CP has no association with TRC Capital or its offer, and recommends that shareholders do not tender their CP shares to the offeror, they said.
