STB CRITERIA FOR VOTING TRUST APPROVAL
1) Insulation from unlawful control violation
Independent trustee would be appointed to oversee either CP or NS while in trust
Whether CP or NS is in trust, Mr. Harrison will be CEO of NS and sever all economic and other ties to CP including stock and pension
2) “Consistent with public interest”
The public benefits from improved operational efficiency, asset utilization, service, economic efficiency, fuel consumption and competition
If the transaction is ultimately rejected by the STB and either CP or NS must be divested, operational improvements will have materially increased the value of NS benefiting all shareholders
[A]pplicants … contemplating the use of a voting trust must explain how the trust would insulate them from an unlawful control violation and why their proposed use of the trust … would be consistent with the public interest.” – 49 CFR 1180.4 (b) (4) (iv)
STB decision on voting trust after “brief comment period” is expected to be 2 to 3 months following formal petition

Hunter Harrison resigned from IC and joined CN as COO
IC held in voting trust pending STB approval
Operational improvements began upon Mr. Harrison’s arrival
Transaction approved; trust dissolved
Five-year oversight period shortened due to successful integration
G&W-RailAmerica (2012)
G&W named R. Lawrence McCaffrey as trustee for RailAmerica
McCaffrey’s independence challenged based on prior business relationship with G&W
The STB rejected the challenge to McCaffrey’s independence because the business relationship ended in 2011

ENHANCED COMPETITION: BOTTLENECK PRICING
In order to provide alternatives to shippers and secure regulatory approval:
CP will not use the “bottleneck approach” when quoting rates and will instead quote rates to which gateway the shipper requests
oBottleneck pricing allows an originating railroad to only quote a rate from A to C
The originating railroad is under no obligation to provide a rate from A to B
oTo ensure competition is enhanced going forward, CP would provide a rate to either connection point B or C

In order to provide alternatives to shippers and enhance competition:

NS HAS SAID….
“CP’s operating model would drive away serviceoriented,
truck-competitive traffic …“
“the proposed transaction would cause more,
not less rail traffic for Chicago”
“open access would adversely impact NS”
“Canadian Pacific’s plan here is to really
cut to the bone on costs”
“the proposed merger is a poor combination … would not
enhance NS’ geographic reach to areas of freight growth”

In Response to the CP Offer, NS Has Announced a New Plan to Improve Performance
In response to CP’s acquisition offer, NS management has initiated medium-term guidance that calls for a 65% OR by 2020
NS has not historically issued medium- or long-term guidance
Investors and analysts are understandably skeptical of the defensive guidance put forth by a new CEO:
“Norfolk’s Standalone Case Lacks Detail/Upside – While we credit
NS for diverging from its tradition of not issuing financial guidance, we think its OR and EPS growth targets lack the necessary detail or upside to convince shareholders that further overtures from CP would be worth ignoring.”

NS New Standalone Plan Value of ~$90 per Share Only If the New Targets are Achieved
Even assuming NS can hit its new medium-term targets, the New
Standalone Plan yields a fair value of only ~$90 per share according to analyst estimates
“Based on our math, NS’ target for a sub-65% OR in 2020 was largely priced into valuation prior to CP’s proposal. Assuming 4% revenue growth, a 65% 2020 OR and further buyback activity of $750 million to $1 billion annually, we see 2020 EPS of roughly $9.
Assigning a 14x multiple and 10% discount rate implies a mid-$80s to mid-$90s valuation, in line with the current merger affected stock price and up modestly from the ~$80 price pre-offer.”

The Substantial Majority of Value Creation from CP’s Offer is Not Conditioned on Merger Approval
The substantial majority of value creation is driven by management change, not corporate consolidation The Pre-Merger Operational Improvements will be achieved whether or not the merger is approved or consummated Potential for additional value creation from real estate and asset monetization is not included

Approval of the Merger Would Provide Substantial Benefits to the Public as Outlined by CP
NS claims that onerous conditions required by the STB would reduce the value of the stock consideration:
“Even if the proposed combination were ultimately to be cleared, it would be subject to a wide range of onerous conditions that would reduce the value of the stock consideration that has been proposed.”
– NS Press Release, December 4, 2015
If the required conditions are too onerous, NS and CP will not proceed with the merger. Even so, NS shareholders will already have received $32.86 in cash and will capture the Pre-Merger Operational Improvements and enormous shareholder value

Proper Methodology for Valuing the Proposed Transaction
Valued on an unaffected basis, this transaction is a merger between a
US$23bn market cap company, CP, and a US$24bn market cap company,
NS(1)
For each NS share, shareholders will receive 0.451 shares of a new company, CP-NS (NS shareholders will own 47% of CP-NS), and $32.86 in cash
In such a transaction, one cannot value the offer using the current share price of the acquirer’s common stock, but instead must use the expected fair value of the combined company’s common stock at closing
The expected fair value of CP-NS must reflect the impact of management change; cost, revenue, and tax synergies; the new capital structure; strategic benefits of the combination; and the anticipated multiple investors will assign to CP-NS earnings
Yesterday’s closing share price for CP does not reflect the anticipated value of CP-NS in the newly revised proposal and therefore cannot be used to value the offer
(1) Based on the 45-day VWAPs prior to November 6, 2015 of C$191.27 for CP and US$79.14 for NS.
11


LOGO

How We Value the Transaction
Our valuation of CP-NS is based on the following assumptions, which we believe to be conservative
Base revenue growth
Consensus estimates through 2018
Revenue growth of 3% for CP and NS beyond 2018, excluding revenue synergies if merged
Base operating ratio
Consensus estimates through 2018

How We Value the Transaction (Cont.)
Our valuation of CP-NS is based on the following assumptions, which we believe to be conservative
Taxes
Tax rate of 27.5% for CP and 36.2% for NS while in trust; combined entity post-merger expected to have tax rate below 30%
Capital expenditures
Consensus estimates through 2018, flat as a percentage of sales thereafter
Valuation
Assumes a 17.0x multiple on 2021E EPS of CAD$27 with STB approval and a 16.0x multiple on 2021E EPS of CAD$25 with no STB approval
Implies levered FCF multiples in the low 20s; P/E multiples assumed are in-line with CP/CN, which have higher FCF conversion than NS given higher margins
Implied share prices as of 12/31/20 are discounted back to mid-2016 at a 9% discount rate

A Simplistic Way to Think About the Value of CP-NS
We estimate CP-NS 2017E EPS to be C$16.34 or US$12.29 per share, reflecting the fact that only 42% of the Pre-Merger Operational Improvements and 0% of the Post-Merger Combination Synergies will have been achieved
Our mid-2016 valuation of US$204 to US$237 for CP-NS on the previous page reflects a 16.6-19.3x multiple of CP-NS 2017E earnings
We believe this multiple range is conservative because CP-NS earnings will grow rapidly over the next several years as operational efficiencies are realized
We estimate that 2021E EPS will be C$25-27 or US$18.77-20.54 per share
CP-NS need only trade at US$128 (C$170) or 10.4x 2017E EPS for CP’s offer to be superior to NS’ New Standalone Plan
If CP’s stock does not increase in value at all from yesterday’s close of C$176, the value of CP’s offer will still be superior to the NS New
Standalone Plan

The Critics and the Consultants Have Been Proven Wrong Before
Shareholders heard many of the same unsubstantiated arguments during the CP proxy contest in 2012
“Curves and grades is physics, and the dismissive comments by Mr.
Harrison indicates a clear lack of research or understanding or both.”
- Fred Green, Former CP CEO, CP Analyst Day, March 27, 2012
“Pershing Square’s operating ratio targets for Canadian Pacific are unrealistic and lack credibility.”
- CP Proxy Circular, March 22, 2012
“Based on a comprehensive review, Oliver Wyman confirmed that CP’s
Multi-Year Plan 2014 target is ambitious, but achievable. And they also concluded that Pershing Square’s stated OR target is both unrealistic and unachievable by 2015.”
- John Cleghorn, Former CP Chairman, CP Analyst Day, March 27, 2012

Management’s new plan will work despite a long-term track record of underperformance
Hunter’s potential operating improvements are unachievable
- “Structural differences” prevent the achievement of comparable results
Customers will object, the network is “service-sensitive”
Hunter’s track record at IC, CN, and CP demonstrates that Hunter’s operating objectives can be achieved while enhancing customer service and improving safety, all while generating enormous shareholder value
Shareholders Have Heard These Arguments Before

Boards of Target Companies Often Underestimate the Intelligence of their Shareholders
Despite a clear and convincing alternative for shareholders, CP’s legacy
Board recommended shareholders vote against all but one of our nominees, and would not even meet Hunter Harrison
CP’s shareholders delivered a stinging rebuke
- All seven of Pershing Square’s director nominees were elected to CP’s
Board with 85% to 94% of the shareholder vote in May 2012
- None of the eight directors we did not seek to replace received a majority vote from shareholders
Hunter was installed as CEO of CP in June 2012, several weeks after the AGM
Hunter immediately began a remarkable transformation of CP, ultimately delivering results which greatly exceeded the timeframe and targets we outlined during the proxy contest, maintaining Hunter’s track record of under-promising and over-delivering
