At the Effective Time, (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Kansas City Southern ("KCS Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive (A) 2.884 common shares of Canadian Pacific (the "Share Consideration") and (B) $90.00 in cash, without interest (the "Cash Consideration" and, together with the Share Consideration, the "Merger Consideration"), and (ii) each share of 4% noncumulative preferred stock of Kansas City Southern, par value $25.00 (the "KCS Preferred Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive $37.50 per share in cash, without interest.

Each option to purchase shares of KCS Common Stock ("KCS Stock Option"), whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, at the Effective Time, became fully vested and was converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to (i) the excess, if any of (A) the value of the Merger Consideration over (B) the per share exercise price of such option multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of KCS Common Stock subject to such KCS Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, less applicable tax withholding.

Each award of shares of KCS Common Stock granted subject to any vesting, forfeiture or other lapse restrictions ("KCS Restricted Share Award") that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and was granted prior to March 21, 2021, at the Effective Time, became fully vested and was converted into the right to receive (i) the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of KCS Common Stock subject to such KCS Restricted Share Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the accrued but unpaid cash dividends corresponding to each share of KCS Common Stock subject to such KCS Restricted Share Award, less applicable tax withholding.

Each award of performance shares that corresponds to shares of KCS Common Stock ("KCS Performance Share Award") that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was, at the Effective Time, converted into an award that entitles the holder thereof, upon vesting, to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of the Merger Consideration multiplied by 200% of the target number of shares of KCS Common Stock covered by the KCS Performance Share Award as of . . .
