CORPORATE STRUCTURE
Name, Address and Incorporation
Air Canada was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act ("CBCA") on August 25, 1988. Air
Canada acquired Canadian Airlines International Ltd. ("Canadian Airlines") on July 6, 2000 and completed a corporate
amalgamation with Canadian Airlines effective January 1, 2001, with the amalgamated entity being known as Air
Canada. Pursuant to the consolidated plan of reorganization, compromise and arrangement of Air Canada and certain of
its subsidiaries (referred to herein as the "Plan"), ACE Aviation Holdings Inc. ("ACE") became the parent holding
company of the reorganized Air Canada on September 30, 2004.
On November 24, 2006, ACE and Air Canada completed an initial public offering and secondary offering of an
aggregate 25 million Class A variable voting shares of Air Canada (the "Variable Voting Shares") and Class B voting
shares of Air Canada (the "Voting Shares", together with the Variable Voting Shares, the "Shares") at $21 per Share for
gross proceeds of $525 million (the "Initial Public Offering"). The Shares trade on the TSX under the symbol AC.A for
the Variable Voting Shares and the symbol AC.B for the Voting Shares.
Through the Initial Public Offering, Air Canada sold an aggregate of 9,523,810 Variable Voting Shares and Voting
Shares for gross proceeds of $200 million to be used for general corporate purposes, including the partial funding of its
fleet renewal program. In the secondary offering, ACE sold an aggregate of 15,476,190 Variable Voting Shares and
Voting Shares for gross proceeds of $325 million.
With the completion of the Initial Public Offering, Air Canada put in place a $400 million senior secured revolving
credit facility pursuant to an amended and restated credit agreement entered into with a syndicate of lenders, to be used
by Air Canada for working capital and general corporate purposes. Air Canada has not, as of March 27, 2007, drawn on
this credit facility.
Prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, ACE proceeded with a reorganization of its corporate structure.
Pursuant to such reorganization, the partnership interests, as well as the interests in the general partners of ACGHS
Limited Partnership ("Air Canada Ground Handling") and AC Cargo Limited Partnership ("Air Canada Cargo") not
held by Air Canada, were transferred to Air Canada and ACE transferred a 51% partnership interest, as well as a 51%
interest in the general partner of Touram Limited Partnership ("Air Canada Vacations") to Air Canada. As at December
31, 2006 and the date of this Initial Annual Information Form, ACE directly and indirectly holds 75% of Air Canada's
outstanding shares. As part of the reorganization, Air Canada completed a corporate amalgamation with ACGHS
Holding GP Inc. effective November 24, 2006 with the amalgamated entity retaining the name Air Canada.
The head office of Air Canada is located at 7373 Côte Vertu Boulevard West, Saint-Laurent, Québec, H4Y 1H4.View entire presentation
