<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>BCE announces specific share repurchase program as part of its Normal Course Issuer Bid </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">MONTR&Eacute;AL, February&nbsp;22, 2018 &#150; BCE Inc. (TSX, NYSE: BCE) today announced that it will repurchase common shares under a specific share
repurchase program (the &#147;Program&#148;). BCE entered into an agreement (the &#147;Agreement&#148;) with a third party to repurchase common shares through daily purchases that will take place between February&nbsp;28, 2018 and March&nbsp;30,
2018 up to a maximum of 3,169,000 common shares (subject to a maximum aggregate purchase price of $175 million) and provided that no purchases of common shares under the Program occur at a time when BCE is in a blackout period. The Program will form
part of BCE&#146;s Normal Course Issuer Bid (the &#147;NCIB&#148;) announced on February&nbsp;8, 2018. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, and
subject to the terms of an issuer bid exemption order issued by the Ontario Securities Commission (the &#147;Order&#148;), the third party will purchase the BCE common shares on Canadian markets for the purpose of fulfilling its delivery obligations
to BCE under the Agreement. The price that BCE will pay for any common shares purchased by it from the third party under the Agreement will be negotiated by BCE and the third party and will be at a discount to the prevailing market price of
BCE&#146;s common shares on the Canadian markets at the time of purchase. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Order, all purchases made by the
third party or its agents on the TSX and other Canadian markets pursuant to the Program will be made in accordance with the TSX rules applicable to the NCIB, subject to limited exceptions as provided in the Order. In addition, BCE and any <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-independent</FONT> purchasing agent acting on its behalf are prohibited from purchasing any other common shares during the term of the Program. BCE will acquire common shares from the third party pursuant to the
Agreement as part of the NCIB and such common shares will be cancelled upon purchase by BCE. In accordance with the terms of the Order, immediately following the end of the Program, BCE will issue and file a press release that will announce the
completion of the Program and set out the number of common shares acquired under the Program and the aggregate dollar amount paid for such common shares. </P>
