EnCana recommends rejection of mini-tender offer
CALGARY, Alberta (February 6, 2006) EnCana Corporation (TSX, NYSE: ECA) has received a copy
of an unsolicited mini-tender offer made by TRC Capital Corporation (TRC Capital), pursuant to
which TRC Capital has offered to purchase up to 2,000,000, or approximately 0.25 percent, of the
outstanding common shares of EnCana. The offer price of C$54.50 per common share represents a 3.96
percent discount to the C$56.75 closing price for EnCanas common shares on the Toronto Stock
Exchange on January 31, 2006, the day before the offer was made.
EnCana recommends that its shareholders reject this unsolicited offer. EnCana wishes to inform its
shareholders that it is not associated with TRC Capital, the offer or the offer documentation. TRC
Capitals unsolicited offer is not related to EnCanas previously announced normal course issuer
bid for the purchase, from time to time, of up to 85,603,640 of its common shares on the facilities
of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
Securities regulators in the United States and Canada have recommended that shareholders exercise
caution in connection with mini-tender offers and that they consult their investment advisors
regarding these types of offers. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has published investor
tips regarding mini-tender offers on its website at: www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm
Comments from the Canadian Securities Administrators on mini-tenders can be found under Staff
Notice 61-301 at: www.osc.gov.on.ca/Regulation/Rulemaking/Current/Part6/csa1999121061-301.jsp
