TORONTO (January 28, 2008) Student Transportation of America Ltd. (“STA”) and Canadex Resources Limited (“Canadex”) announced that STA has, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 2154742 Ontario Limited, mailed a notice of compulsory acquisition to the remaining holders of common shares (the “Common Shares”) of Canadex.

Following STA’s offer to acquire all of the Common Shares, STA beneficially owns approximately 93.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Since STA’s offer was accepted by holders of more than 90% of the Common Shares, STA is now exercising its right under the compulsory acquisition provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) to acquire all outstanding Common Shares not already beneficially owned by it on the basis of $5.72 cash per Common Share. Further details are provided in the notice of compulsory acquisition.

Upon completion of the compulsory acquisition, STA intends to de-list the Common Shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange and to cause Canadex to cease to be a reporting issuer.
