TORONTO, November 30, 2010 - ShawCor Ltd. ("ShawCor") (TSX: SCL.A, SCL.B) today announced that it has
received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") to renew its normal
course issuer bid for a further one year period. ShawCor's normal course
issuer bid will now expire on November 30, 2011 in accordance with rules of
the TSX.

1, 2004 and last renewed on December 1, 2009, ShawCor has purchased an
aggregate of 5,573,600 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (the "Class A
Shares") at a weighted average price of $25.38. All such shares have been
cancelled.

As approved by the TSX, during the period of December 1, 2010 to November

TSX, up to 2,000,000 of the currently issued and outstanding Class A Shares
and up to 100,000 of the currently issued and outstanding Class B Multiple
Voting Shares (the "Class B Shares"). These two amounts comprise
approximately 3.89% and 7.45% of the public float outstanding as at November

block purchase exemptions. All Class A Shares and Class B Shares purchased
under the normal course issuer bid will be cancelled.

provide additional liquidity to shareholders.
