Forward‐Looking Information Certain statements made in this Annual Information Form are “forward‐looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation.

In certain cases, forward‐looking information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”, including references to assumptions. Forward‐looking information, by its nature, is based on current estimates and certain material expectations and assumptions made by Cargojet, including those described herein and is subject to important risks and uncertainties.

Although Cargojet considers these estimates, expectations and assumptions to be reasonable based on current information and in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future development, there can be no assurance that such estimates, expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct.
