available on Astral&#146;s website at www.astral.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Letters of
Transmittal explain how registered Astral shareholders can deposit and obtain payment for their
Astral shares. Registered Astral shareholders must return their duly completed Letters of
Transmittal to Computershare Investor Services Inc. in order to receive the consideration to which
they are entitled for their Astral shares. Non-registered shareholders should carefully follow the
instructions from the broker or other financial intermediary that holds Astral shares on their
behalf.
