today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the &#8220;TSX&#8221;) has accepted a notice filed by BCE of its intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (&#8220;NCIB&#8221;) to purchase up to 10% of the public float of each series of
BCE&#8217;s outstanding First Preferred Shares that are listed on the TSX (the &#8220;Preferred Shares&#8221;). The period of the NCIB will extend from November&nbsp;11, 2025 to November 10, 2026, or an earlier date should BCE complete its purchases
under the NCIB. BCE will pay the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition for any Preferred Shares purchased plus brokerage fees payable by BCE (except with respect to purchases made under an issuer bid exemption order, which will be at a
discount to the prevailing market price), and all Preferred Shares acquired by BCE under the NCIB will be cancelled. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The actual number of Preferred

facilities of the TSX as well as alternative trading systems in Canada, if eligible, or by such other means as may be permitted by securities regulatory authorities, including <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-arranged</FONT> crosses, exempt
offers, private agreements under an issuer bid exemption order issued by securities regulatory authorities and block purchases of Preferred Shares. Purchases made under an issuer bid exemption order will be at a discount to the prevailing market
