<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">TELUS putting share exchange proposal to democratic shareholder vote</font></b></p>
<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Proposal to require majority common and two thirds non-voting shareholder approval</font></i></p>
<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Vancouver, B.C. &#151;</font></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> TELUS is putting a new proposal to exchange its non-voting shares into common shares on a one-for-one basis to a democratic vote of all its shareholders.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Holders of both TELUS non-voting and common shares are invited to vote on the proposal at a meeting of shareholders planned for October 17, 2012 or online via the proxy voting system once the information circular is distributed in advance of the meeting. Shareholders on record as of September 4 will be entitled to vote at the meeting. TELUS&#146; proposal will require approval from its non-voting and common shareholders, each voting separately as a class. In accordance with applicable corporate law requirements, the TELUS proposal will require approval from two-thirds of its non-voting share votes cast at the meeting, as the non-voting shares are being exchanged for common shares. As common shares will not see their legal rights change, TELUS is seeking approval by a simple majority of common share votes cast at the meeting.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;With this proposal we are responding to the overwhelmingly positive support from shareholders since we introduced our first proposal to convert non-voting shares into common shares in late February,&#148; said Darren Entwistle, TELUS President and CEO. &#147;Excluding Mason Capital, proxies representing 92.4 per cent of total shares received were in favour of our first proposal before we withdrew it in May. At that time we pledged to introduce another proposal for a one-for-one exchange in due course, and we are fulfilling that promise with today&#146;s announcement.&#148;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;We strongly believe this proposal is fair to all shareholders, widely supported by shareholders with a true economic stake in TELUS, and consistent with the principles of good corporate governance,&#148; Mr. Entwistle added.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Once approved, TELUS non-voting shares would be exchanged for common shares on a one-for-one basis, making common shares TELUS&#146; sole class of issued and outstanding equity securities. TELUS currently has approximately 175 million common shares and 151 million non-voting shares issued and outstanding, so this would result in the enhanced liquidity and marketability of a single class of approximately 326 million common shares. Upon approval, common shares will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for the first time.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Process</font></b></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The required information for shareholders to consider this proposal and to vote on the special resolution to approve the Arrangement will be contained in an information circular mailed or distributed electronically to common and non-voting shareholders in advance of the meeting of shareholders. This information circular will also be available at that time on the Company&#146;s website at telus.com/investors.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition to shareholder and court approvals for the transaction, the listing of the new common shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement is subject to approvals from the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the NYSE.&#160; Provided those approvals are obtained, TELUS&#146; common shares would then trade on both the TSX and the NYSE.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A special committee of TELUS&#146; Board of Directors has considered the implications of this share exchange. Scotia Capital served as the independent financial advisor to assist this committee in evaluating the proposal. After careful review, Scotia Capital provided an opinion that a one-for-one exchange ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to holders of both common shares and non-voting shares, respectively.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">After considering the recommendation of the special committee and Scotia Capital, TELUS&#146; Board of Directors unanimously concluded that the Arrangement is in the best interests of TELUS and is reasonable and fair to all shareholders. Accordingly, it is recommending that shareholders approve the share exchange.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Shareholders with shares on loan under securities lending programs should ensure that they recall their shares by the September 4 meeting record date in order to vote.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Background</font></b></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">TELUS&#146; dual class share structure was designed more than a decade ago when TELUS&#146; predecessor companies &#151; BC TELECOM and TELUS Alberta &#151; merged. At the time, BC TELECOM had a majority non-Canadian shareholder &#151; GTE, now Verizon &#151; and so the company created non-voting shares so that the merged company would comply with federal telecommunications legislation, which restricts foreign ownership to no more than 33.3 per cent of voting shares. Verizon subsequently divested its shares in the company, significantly reducing foreign ownership in the company.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Earlier this year in response to shareholder interest in the increased liquidity and marketability that having just one common share class would create, TELUS&#146; Board of Directors formed a special committee which asked independent financial advisor Scotia Capital to review a share conversion proposal and advise whether and how to proceed. Scotia recommended TELUS proceed with the conversion, and that a one-for-one conversion ratio was fair for all shareholders and the best way to proceed.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">TELUS announced the share conversion proposal to shareholders on February 21, and the trading value of both share classes immediately increased &#151; a key indication of widespread support from the holders of both share classes. As of August 20, TELUS&#146; common shares have appreciated by 15 per cent since February 21, the non-voting shares by 17 per cent, despite the TSX index declining four per cent in the same time period.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A number of corporate governance advocates have supported TELUS&#146; proposal as good corporate governance, including both leading independent proxy advisory firms, ISS and Glass Lewis, which recommended that both common and non-voting shareholders vote in favour of the original one-for-one exchange proposal.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Following the proposal&#146;s publication, Mason Capital quietly acquired approximately 19 per cent or approximately 33 million TELUS common shares, while simultaneously selling short nearly the same number of non-voting and common shares. Mason was voting $1.9 billion worth of TELUS common shares with only an estimated $25 million net economic stake. This discredited &#145;empty voting&#146; strategy gave Mason far more voting weight than its minimal economic investment in the company should allow. Mason opposed the proposal in an effort to profit from its short trades by widening the spread between the trading price of the two share classes &#151; an interest at odds with other shareholders. Accordingly, TELUS withdrew the proposal </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">since the empty voting tactics of Mason and absence of regulatory oversight of the practice made it apparent that a vote on the proposal at TELUS&#146; 2012 May Annual Meeting would not succeed</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">. Subsequently, Mason disclosed in July that its TELUS common share position was just under 20 per cent.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mason, which previously indicated it had a long-term interest in TELUS and has subsequently backed away from that position, has continued to make numerous attempts to widen the share price spread, which is directly contrary to the interests of shareholders with a true economic interest in the company.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This news release contains statements about expected future events of TELUS that are forward-looking. By their nature, forward-looking statements require the Company to make assumptions and predictions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that the share exchange proposal will receive voting approval and, if not approved, the market price of non-voting shares and/or common shares may decline given that share prices in both classes increased on the announcement of the February proposal. In addition, there can be no assurance that the final court order in respect of the Arrangement will be granted. There is significant risk that the forward-looking statements will not prove to be accurate. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from that expressed in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, TELUS disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.</font></p>

<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Vancouver, B.C. &#151;</font></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> TELUS is rejecting New York hedge fund Mason Capital&#146;s August&nbsp;2 requisition for a meeting of common shareholders to consider resolutions amending TELUS&#146; articles to enshrine mandatory minimum premiums for common shares in any future share consolidation.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;TELUS&#146; Board of Directors carefully reviewed Mason&#146;s requisition, and we found it both anti-democratic and invalid and therefore concluded unanimously to reject it,&#148; said Brian Canfield, Chair of the Board. &#147;Simply put, Mason&#146;s request would have imposed constraints on non-voting shares without giving holders of those shares a say. That is simply wrong.&#148;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Darren Entwistle, TELUS President and CEO, added, &#147;Mason Capital&#146;s ongoing efforts to frustrate TELUS&#146; share collapse are clearly rooted in their desire to profit from their hedging approach, and not from an interest in supporting TELUS&#146; efforts to create value for shareholders.&#148;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">TELUS announced a share conversion proposal to shareholders on February&nbsp;21. Following that announcement Mason Capital quietly acquired approximately 19 per cent or approximately 33 million TELUS common shares, while simultaneously selling short nearly the same number of non-voting and common shares. Mason was voting $1.9 billion worth of TELUS common shares with only an estimated $25 million net economic stake. This discredited &#145;empty voting&#146; strategy gave Mason far more voting weight than its minimal economic investment in the company should allow. Mason opposed the proposal in an effort to profit from its short trades by widening the spread between the trading price of the two share classes &#151; an interest at odds with other shareholders. Accordingly, TELUS withdrew the proposal </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">since the empty voting tactics of Mason and absence of regulatory oversight of the practice made it apparent that a vote on the proposal at TELUS&#146; 2012 May&nbsp;Annual Meeting would not succeed</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">. Subsequently, Mason disclosed in July that its TELUS common share position was just under 20 per cent.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mason, which previously indicated it had a long-term interest in TELUS and has subsequently backed away from that position, has continued to make numerous attempts to widen the share price spread, which is directly contrary to the interests of shareholders with a true economic interest in the company.</font></p>
