         (b)      Percent of Class:

                  Subordinate Voting Shares, assuming conversion of all of the
                  Multiple Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares). 86.3%

                           Issuer's Subordinate and Multiple Voting Shares; each
                           Subordinate Voting Share is entitled to one vote and
                           each Multiple Voting Share is entitled to twenty-five
                           votes.

                  As of the date hereof, Onex beneficially owns 46,499,827
                  Subordinate Voting Shares of the Issuer, including (i)
                  7,433,877 Subordinate Voting Shares and (ii) 39,065,950
                  Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon conversion of Multiple
                  Voting Shares of the Issuer; each Multiple Voting Share is
                  currently convertible into one Subordinate Voting Share. On
                  March 8, 2000, in a private placement, a subsidiary of Onex
                  (the "Onex Subsidiary") issued approximately $253.1 million
                  principal amount of exchangeable debentures due 2025. The
                  exchangeable debentures are exchangeable and redeemable for an
                  aggregate of 5,548,320 Subordinate Voting Shares, in certain
                  circumstances, during their 25-year term. In connection with
                  the exercise by a holder of a debenture of its right to
                  exchange the debentures for Subordinate Voting Shares, any
                  redemption of the debentures at the option of the Onex
                  Subsidiary or the repayment of the debentures at maturity or
                  following an event of default, the Onex Subsidiary may, at its
                  option, satisfy its obligations by payment of a cash amount
                  specified in the debentures, by delivery of Subordinate Voting
                  Shares at their then current market price or by any
                  combination of cash and Subordinate Voting Shares. If the Onex
                  Subsidiary does not have sufficient Subordinate Voting Shares,
                  the requisite number of Multiple Voting Shares held by the
                  Onex Subsidiary will immediately be converted into Subordinate
                  Voting Shares, which shares will be delivered on the exchange.
                  Of the Multiple Voting Shares owned beneficially by Onex,
                  11,635,958 Multiple Voting Shares are held by wholly-owned
                  subsidiaries of Onex, including 5,548,320 Subordinate Voting
                  Shares (issuable upon conversion of Multiple Voting Shares)
                  that may be delivered, at the Onex Subsidiary's option, upon
                  the exercise or redemption, or at maturity or acceleration, of
                  exchangeable debentures due 2025 described above. Of the
                  Subordinate Voting Shares beneficially owned by Onex,
                  4,510,185 are held by Celestica Employee Nominee Corporation,
                  as agent for and on behalf of certain executives and employees
                  of the Issuer pursuant to the Issuer's employee share purchase
                  and option plans, 444,700 Subordinate Voting Shares are held
                  by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Onex as general partner of a
                  limited partnership and 736,790 Subordinate Voting Shares are
                  directly or indirectly held by certain officers and employees
                  of Onex and members of their respective families, which, in
                  each case, Onex has the right to vote.
