<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><FONT style="font-size: 11pt">For immediate release
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt"><B>Bell welcomes MTS shareholders&#146; approval of acquisition</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Transaction will accelerate broadband network investment and increase communications choice for
Manitobans


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">MONTR&#201;AL, June&nbsp;23, 2016 &#150; BCE Inc. (Bell) (TSX, NYSE: BCE) welcomes today&#146;s decision by
shareholders of Manitoba Telecom Service Inc. (MTS) (TSX: MBT) to approve Bell&#146;s acquisition of MTS
at a special shareholders meeting in Winnipeg this morning.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">&#147;We are happy that MTS shareholders so clearly support the creation of Bell MTS and our plan to
deliver the world&#146;s best fibre and mobile broadband services to Manitobans,&#148; said George Cope,
President and CEO of BCE and Bell Canada. &#147;We look forward to working with the MTS team to complete
the transaction, and to investing in the network and service innovations that will put Manitoba at
the forefront of Canadian communications.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The special resolution to approve the statutory plan of arrangement, which will see Bell acquire
all issued and outstanding common shares of MTS, was supported by 99.66% of the 43,098,172 votes
cast by MTS shareholders. Announced on May&nbsp;2, the transaction is valued at approximately $3.9
billion and is expected to close in late 2016 or early 2017, subject to customary closing
conditions including court and regulatory approvals.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Recognizing the powerful brand and community presence MTS has built, the companies&#146; combined
operations in Manitoba will be known as Bell MTS, and Winnipeg will become Bell&#146;s Western Canada
headquarters. With the addition of MTS&#146;s 2,700 employees, Bell&#146;s Western Canada team grows to 6,900
people in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt"><B>$1&nbsp;billion Manitoba investment commitment</B>
<BR>
Bell has announced a 5-year, $1&nbsp;billion commitment to expand broadband wireless and fibre
communications services in Manitoba after the transaction closes, greatly enhancing consumer choice
and competition in the province.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">As a first step, Bell and MTS on May&nbsp;20 announced plans to complete wireless coverage along Highway
75, the vital transportation corridor linking Winnipeg and other Manitoba communities with the U.S.
border.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Bell&#146;s broadband investment will include the introduction of the groundbreaking Gigabit Fibe
Internet service, which delivers Internet speeds on average up to 20 times faster than those
currently offered to MTS customers; Fibe TV, the fast-growing broadband television service that has
propelled Bell into the #1 spot in Canadian TV; expansion of Bell&#146;s award-winning LTE wireless
network, with average data speeds twice as fast as those currently available to MTS customers; and
the integration of the MTS Winnipeg data centre operations into Bell&#146;s leading national network of
27 data hosting and cloud computing centres across Canada.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt"><B>Caution concerning forward-looking statements</B>
