News Releases

CALGARY, Nov. 25, 2011 /CNW/ - The Churchill Corporation (TSX: CUQ) (TSX: CUQ.DB) (the "Corporation") today announced that a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") has been approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX").

The Corporation intends to purchase up to 1,217,671 of its common shares by way of normal course purchases on the TSX, representing 5% of its issued and outstanding common shares on November 24, 2011.  Daily repurchases will be limited to 9,519 common shares, other than block purchase exceptions.  As of November 24, 2011 there were 24,353,418 common shares issued and outstanding.

The bid may commence on November 30, 2011 and will continue until the earlier of November 29, 2012 or the date by which the Corporation has acquired the maximum number of common shares which may be purchased under the bid.  Purchases will be made through the facilities of the TSX only, in accordance with the requirements of the TSX, and the price at which the Corporation will purchase its common shares will be the market price of the common shares at the time of acquisition.  The Corporation has appointed Raymond James Ltd. as its broker to conduct normal course issuer bid transactions.  Common shares purchased by the Corporation will be returned to treasury for cancellation.  During the 12 months preceding November 30, 2011, the Corporation did not repurchase any common shares.

Management of the Corporation believes that from time to time the market price of the common shares may not reflect their underlying value and that, at such times, the purchase of common shares for cancellation will increase the proportionate interest of, and be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders.
