Bombardier Inc. today announced the early acceptance of tendered Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2013 (Common Code: 027397859 / ISIN: XS0273978592 (Reg. S) / Common Code: 027397891 / ISIN: XS0273978915 (144A)) (the "Floating Rate Notes") and 8.00% Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP: C10602AK3 / ISIN: USC10602AK32 (Reg. S) / CUSIP: 097751AM3 / ISIN: US097751AM35 (144A)) (the "8.00% Notes" and, collectively with the Floating Rate Notes, the "Notes") in connection with its two previously announced cash tender offers (each a "Tender Offer" and collectively the "Tender Offers"). The Tender Offers are being made pursuant to an offer to purchase (the "Offer to Purchase") dated October 21, 2010 and, in respect of 8.00% Notes only, the related Letter of Transmittal.

The tender and information agent for the Floating Rate Notes under the Tender Offer for such Notes has advised Bombardier that EUR 251,954,000 aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes had been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer for such Notes at or prior to 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on November 4, 2010 (such date and time with respect to each Tender Offer, the "Early Participation Date"), and the depositary and information agent for the 8.00% Notes under the Tender Offer for such Notes has advised Bombardier that USD 144,600,000 aggregate principal amount of the 8.00% Notes had been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer for such Notes at or prior to the Early Participation Date. Such amounts represent approximately 52% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of Floating Rate Notes and 38% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of 8.00% Notes.

Bombardier today accepted for purchase, in accordance with the previously announced terms of the Tender Offers, all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to each Tender Offer at or prior to the Early Participation Date, representing EUR 251,954,000 aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Notes, at a purchase price of EUR 1,001.25 for each EUR 1,000 principal amount of Floating Rate Notes accepted, and USD 144,600,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Notes, at a purchase price of USD 1,042.50 for each USD 1,000 principal amount of 8.00% Notes accepted, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the payment date. Bombardier intends to settle payment for the Notes accepted for purchase by no later than November 5, 2010.

Based on the foregoing, approximately EUR 230,529,000 aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Notes and USD 240,400,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Notes had not been tendered as of the Early Participation Date and may be validly tendered by holders until 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on November 19, 2010 unless extended or earlier terminated (such date and time with respect to a Tender Offer, as they may be extended with respect to such Tender Offer, the "Expiration Date"). Holders of Notes validly tendered after 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on November 4, 2010 but at or prior to the Expiration Date, and accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, but not the Early Participation Amount, specified in the Offer to Purchase. In addition, all holders of Notes accepted for purchase in a Tender Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the applicable payment date. As announced on November 2, 2010, Bombardier intends to redeem, on December 2, 2010, all of the Floating Rate Notes and 8.00% Notes not validly tendered and accepted in the Tender Offers at a price equal to par of such Floating Rate Notes and 104.0% of the principal amount of such 8.00% Notes, plus, in each case, applicable accrued and unpaid interest, in each case pursuant to the terms of the respective indenture governing each such series of Notes.

The terms of the Tender Offers remain unchanged and are as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. Bombardier anticipates that it will accept for purchase and pay for all Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn or previously accepted on the Early Acceptance Date within three business days following the Expiration Date.

None of Bombardier or its board of directors, the dealer managers, the tender agent, depositary or information agents, or the trustees for the respective series of Notes makes any recommendation that holders tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of the principal amount of their Notes, and no one has been authorized by us or any of them to make such a recommendation. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender their Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.

All of the Floating Rate Notes are held in book-entry form through a common depositary or its nominee for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. and Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme, and all of the 8.00% Notes are held in book-entry form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). If you hold Notes through a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other intermediary or nominee, you must contact such broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other intermediary or nominee if you wish to tender Notes in the applicable Tender Offer. You should check with such broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other intermediary or nominee to determine whether they will charge you a fee for tendering Notes on your behalf. You should also confirm with the broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other intermediary or nominee any deadlines by which you must provide your tender instructions, because the relevant deadline set by such nominee will be earlier than the deadlines set forth herein.

Bombardier has retained Lucid Issuer Services Limited to act as the tender and information agent in respect of the Floating Rate Notes and i-Deal LLC to serve as the depositary and information agent in respect of the 8.00% Notes.
