[LOGO] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 29, 2003 CELESTICA RECEIVES TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE APPROVAL FOR NEW NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID TORONTO, Ontario - Celestica Inc. (NYSE, TSX: CLS), a world leader in electronics manufacturing services (EMS), today announced that it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange for its new normal course issuer bid. The issuer bid, previously announced on July 24, 2003, is effective for a 12-month period effective August 1, 2003 and ending July 31, 2004. During that period, Celestica is authorized to repurchase, at its discretion, up to 16,996,165 subordinate voting shares, which is 10% of the public float of the subordinate voting shares, on the open market subject to the normal terms and limitations of such bids. Any shares purchased pursuant to the bid will be purchased at the market price of the shares at the time of purchase and will be cancelled. The shares will be purchased on behalf of Celestica by a registered investment dealer through the facilities of the New York or Toronto stock exchanges. Any purchases will be funded out of Celestica's cash resources. Currently, there are approximately 174,317,943 subordinate voting shares of Celestica outstanding. During the last 12 months, Celestica has purchased a total of 18,380,593 subordinate voting shares at an average price of $13.08 pursuant to its current normal course issuer bid, which expires July 31, 2003. Celestica believes that its subordinate voting shares have been trading in price ranges which may not fully reflect the value of the subordinate voting shares. As a result, Celestica believes that its outstanding subordinate voting shares represent an attractive investment to Celestica.
