Certain information included in this annual report constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the
United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and under Canadian securities laws. CN cautions that, by
their nature, these forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Company cautions that
its assumptions may not materialize and that current economic conditions render such assumptions, although reasonable
at the time they were made, subject to greater uncertainty.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results or performance of the Company or the rail industry to
be materially different from the outlook or any future results or performance implied by such statements. Important risk
factors that could affect the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the effects of general economic
and business conditions, industry competition, inflation, currency and interest rate fluctuations, changes in fuel prices,
legislative and/or regulatory developments, compliance with environmental laws and regulations, actions by regulators,
various events which could disrupt operations, including natural events such as severe weather, droughts, floods and
earthquakes, labor negotiations and disruptions, environmental claims, uncertainties of investigations, proceedings or
other types of claims and litigation, risks and liabilities arising from derailments, and other risks detailed from time to time
in reports filed by CN with securities regulators in Canada and the United States. Reference should be made to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in CN’s annual and interim reports, Annual Information Form and Form 40-F filed with
Canadian and U.S. securities regulators, available on CN’s website (www.cn.ca), for a summary of major risks.
CN assumes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect future events, changes in circumstances, or changes in beliefs, unless required by applicable Canadian securities laws. In the event CN does update any
forward-looking statement, no inference should be made that CN will make additional updates with respect to that statement, related matters, or any other forward-looking statement.
