Pool Inc. is conducting a program for registered and
beneficial shareholders who hold 99 shares or less to allow them
to sell all, but not less than all, of their shares or buy
additional shares to increase their holdings to 100 shares (a
"board lot"). Shareholders of record on July 25, 2005, who hold
less than a board lot may sell their shares or buy additional
shares to increase their holdings to 100 shares without
incurring brokerage commissions. The sale of shares will be
executed through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The program, which is voluntary, will expire on October 25,
2005, unless extended by the Pool. It is designed to help
eligible shareholders sell their shares in a convenient and
inexpensive manner. Information regarding the program and
participation documents will be mailed to eligible registered
holders on or about July 28, 2005, and will be made available to
eligible beneficial shareholders through their stockbroker,
custodian bank or nominee.
The Pool is pleased to offer this program to its shareholders.
However, the company makes no recommendation on whether an
eligible shareholder should participate in the program. That
decision should be based upon a shareholder's particular
financial circumstances. Shareholders may wish to consult their
broker or financial advisor as to the advisability of
participating in the program.
The Pool has retained Computershare Investor Services Inc. to
manage the program and to handle share transactions and
payments. Questions regarding the Small Shareholders Purchase
and Sales program may be directed to Computershare toll free in
Canada and the United States at 1-866-982-0311. Questions may
also be submitted via the Internet by emailing
