announces change of auditor for fiscal 2025 </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">MONTR&Eacute;AL, March&nbsp;7, 2024 &#150; BCE Inc. (BCE) (TSX, NYSE: BCE) today announced that the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors of BCE (the Board) has completed a comprehensive request for proposal process for the 2025 external audit engagement (the RFP) and that the Board has selected Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP as its external auditor for
fiscal 2025. In keeping with its focus on best corporate governance practices and given the long tenure of Deloitte LLP as BCE&#146;s external auditor, the Audit Committee had initiated the RFP in 2023. After careful consideration, on the advice of
the Audit Committee, the Board selected Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP, subject to shareholder approval at BCE&#146;s 2025 annual shareholder meeting. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP was selected based on the qualifications of its audit team, staffing model, technology and independence. BCE extends its gratitude
to Deloitte LLP for the quality of expertise and insight they have provided to the corporation over the years. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Deloitte LLP will continue as external
auditor through the financial year ending December&nbsp;31, 2024, subject to shareholder approval at the 2024 annual shareholder meeting. Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP will commence a transition process with Deloitte LLP during the financial year
ending December&nbsp;31, 2024 in order to ensure an orderly transfer. Further to the RFP, Deloitte LLP will resign as BCE&#146;s external auditor effective on the business day following the filing of BCE&#146;s audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ending December&nbsp;31, 2024 and its auditor&#146;s report thereon, and Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP will be appointed as BCE&#146;s external auditor effective on the same date to fill the vacancy and hold office until the
2025 annual shareholder meeting. BCE intends to propose to shareholders, at its 2025 annual shareholder meeting, that Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young LLP be appointed as its external auditor until the end of the next annual shareholder meeting. </P>
