<P align="center" style="font-size: 14pt"><B>SEEK LEAVE TO APPEAL</B>



<P align="center" style="font-size: 14pt"><B>TO THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 14pt"><FONT style="font-size: 11pt">MONTREAL, Quebec, May&nbsp;21, 2008 &#150; BCE Inc. (TSX, NYSE: BCE) today announced that, together with
the purchaser, it will seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada the Qu&#233;bec Court of
Appeal&#146;s decision to deny the company&#146;s plan of arrangement related to the BCE&#146;s proposed
privatization.
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">&#147;The judgment overturning the Qu&#233;bec Superior Court decision rewrites Canadian law relating to the
duty of Canadian boards of directors to maximize value for shareholders in the context of a change
of control transaction, as well as to the entitlements of bondholders in those circumstances. Both
the transaction and the issues of law involved are of public importance in Canada. We believe the
Supreme Court of Canada should reverse this decision, and allow the transaction to proceed,&#148; said
Martine Turcotte, Chief Legal Officer of BCE and Bell Canada.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The appeal will require the Supreme Court of Canada to grant leave to appeal. BCE will be seeking
directions from the Supreme Court of Canada to expedite the disposition of such application for
leave to appeal, and any appeal.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">In light of today&#146;s Qu&#233;bec Court of Appeal decision, the expected timing for the closing of the
transaction will be contingent on the Supreme Court granting leave to appeal and the timing related
to any such appeal.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">On June&nbsp;29, 2007, BCE entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an investor group led
by Teachers&#146; Private Capital, the private investment arm of the Ontario Teachers&#146; Pension Plan,
Providence Equity Partners Inc., Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, and Merrill Lynch Global Private
Equity.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt"><B>Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements</B>
<BR>
This news release contains forward-looking statements relating to the proposed privatization of
BCE, legal proceedings related thereto and other statements that are not historical facts. Such
forward-looking statements are subject to important risks, uncertainties and assumptions including,
in particular, the inherent uncertainty regarding the conduct, outcome and timing of any
litigation. The results or events predicted in these forward-looking statements may differ
materially from actual results or events. As a result, we cannot guarantee that any forward-looking
statement will materialize.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The timing and completion of the proposed privatization transaction is subject to a number of terms
and conditions, including, without limitation: (i)&nbsp;satisfaction of the conditions to the approvals
of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission and the Minister of Industry,
(ii)&nbsp;reversal by the Supreme Court of Canada of the judgment of the Qu&#233;bec Court of Appeal relating
to the plan of arrangement, and (iii)&nbsp;certain termination rights available to the parties under the
definitive agreement dated June&nbsp;29, 2007, as amended, governing the terms of the transaction. The
conditions to these approvals may not be satisfied, the other conditions to the transaction may not
be satisfied in accordance with their terms, and/or the parties to the definitive agreement may
exercise their termination rights, in which case the proposed privatization transaction could be
modified, restructured or terminated, as applicable. Failure to complete the proposed privatization
transaction could have a material adverse impact on the market price of BCE&#146;s shares.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date of this
release and, accordingly, are subject to change after such date. Except as may be required by
Canadian securities laws, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements contained in this news release, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. Additionally, we undertake no obligation to comment on expectations of,
or statements made by, third parties in respect of the proposed privatization transaction. For
additional information with respect to certain of these and other assumptions and risks, please
refer to BCE&#146;s 2007 annual MD&#038;A dated March&nbsp;5, 2008 included in the Bell Canada Enterprises 2007
Annual Report, BCE&#146;s 2008 First Quarter MD&#038;A dated May&nbsp;6, 2008, as well as to the definitive
agreement dated June&nbsp;29, 2007, as amended, and BCE&#146;s management proxy circular dated August&nbsp;7,
2007, all filed by BCE with the Canadian securities commissions (available at
<U>www.sedar.com</U>) and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (available at
<U>www.sec.gov</U>). These documents are also available on BCE&#146;s website at <U>www.bce.ca</U>.
