1 The total intrinsic value of share option awards exercised for the year ended December 31, 2018, was $8 million (2017 - $15 million), reflecting a weighted average price at the dates of exercise of $46.04 per share (2017 – $44.63 per share). The difference between the number of share options exercised and the number of Common Shares issued (as reflected in the Consolidated statements of changes in owners’ equity) is the effect of our choosing to settle share option award exercises using the net-equity settlement feature.

2 All outstanding TELUS Corporation share options are vested, their range of prices is $28.56 – $31.69 per share and their weighted average remaining contractual life is 0.4 years.
