NEWS RELEASE
CN Provides Update on CEO Search Process
Montreal, December 20, 2021 – CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) today provided an update
on the previously announced search process to identify a new Chief Executive Officer.
The Search Committee of the Board – comprised of Shauneen Bruder, Justin Howell, Robert Phillips and Kevin Lynch – is conducting a thorough review process to identify a
world-class executive to lead CN as the Company continues to build the railway of the future using digital innovation to drive safety, operational excellence, customer experience and enhanced long-term shareholder value. The Search Committee, with
the assistance of Korn Ferry, has identified and continues to interview a number of outstanding candidates. CN expects to complete the process and announce a new CEO in January 2022.
As part of this open and inclusive process, the Search Committee conducted multiple rounds of interviews with former CN employee Jim Vena and the Board engaged in appropriate
due diligence with respect to Mr. Vena’s candidacy, as it has with all other candidates. Last evening, Mr. Vena notified the Board that he is no longer interested in pursuing the role and has withdrawn from the process.
CN has only provided an update on this search process because TCI has requisitioned a Special Meeting of Shareholders on March 22, 2022 with one goal being to have Mr. Vena
appointed CEO of CN. CN previously disclosed to shareholders that Mr. Vena would be seriously considered for the position. Since Mr. Vena is no longer being considered for this position, CN believed it was appropriate to provide shareholders with an
update.
CN’s Board remains committed to finding the right leader to continue our ambitions to build the premier railway for the 21st century and deliver immediate and
long-term value to all shareholders, while retaining our commitment to safety, customer service and the communities we serve.
