June&nbsp;17, 2022 &#150; Rogers Communications Inc. (&#147;Rogers&#148;), Shaw Communications Inc. (&#147;Shaw&#148;) and Quebecor Inc. (&#147;Quebecor&#148;) today announced an agreement (the &#147;Divestiture Agreement&#148;) for the sale of
Freedom Mobile Inc. (&#147;Freedom&#148;) to Quebecor, subject to regulatory approval (the &#147;Freedom Transaction&#148;). The Freedom Transaction will ensure the presence of a strong and sustainable fourth wireless carrier across Canada. The
parties strongly believe the agreement effectively addresses the concerns raised by the Commissioner of Competition and the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry regarding viable and sustainable wireless competition in Canada. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL">Under the terms of the Divestiture Agreement, Quebecor has agreed to buy Freedom on a cash-free, debt-free basis at an enterprise value of C$2.85&nbsp;billion,
expanding Quebecor&#146;s wireless operations nationally. The Divestiture Agreement provides for the sale of all of Freedom branded wireless and Internet customers as well as all of Freedom&#146;s infrastructure, spectrum and retail locations. It
also includes a long-term undertaking by Shaw and Rogers to provide Quebecor transport services (including backhaul and backbone) and roaming services. The parties will work expeditiously and in good faith to finalize definitive documentation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL">As Freedom&#146;s new owner, Quebecor will bring a strong operational track record, a history of competing vigorously and successfully in telecommunications services,
including its wireless brands in Quebec and Eastern Ontario, and significant financial and spectrum resources to enable an expedient path to the next evolution of 5G technology for Freedom. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL">&#147;Our agreement with Quebecor to divest Freedom is a critical step towards completing our proposed merger with Shaw. We strongly believe the divestiture will meet
the Government of Canada&#146;s objective of a strong and sustainable fourth wireless services provider,&#148; said Tony Staffieri, President and CEO of Rogers. &#147;This agreement between proven cable and wireless companies will ensure the
continuation of a highly competitive market with robust future investments in Canada&#146;s world class networks. We look forward to securing the outstanding regulatory approvals for our merger with Shaw so that we can deliver significant long-term
benefits to Canadian consumers, businesses and the economy.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL">&#147;This is a truly Canadian-made solution that will benefit all Canadians by delivering
increased competition and choice, the next generation of telecommunications services and enabling the transformative benefits of a combined Rogers and Shaw. We look forward to completing the Shaw Transaction which would make Rogers a truly national
telecommunications provider.&#148; said Edward Rogers, Chairman of Rogers Communications. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL">&#147;This is a turning point for the Canadian wireless market,&#148;
said Pierre Karl P&eacute;ladeau, President and CEO of Quebecor. &#147;Quebecor&#146;s Videotron subsidiary is the strong 4th player who, coupled </P>

with Freedom&#146;s solid footprint in Ontario and Western Canada, can deliver concrete benefits for all Canadians. We have always believed that for there to be healthy competition in wireless
services only a player with a proven track record can successfully enter the market. This is a value-added transaction for all consumers and the Canadian economy. After fifteen years of growth in the Quebec wireless market, we have demonstrated our
expertise, our ability to innovate and our financial strength. Now we are taking another step to bring the opportunities our customers already enjoy to consumers across Canada.&#148; Mr.&nbsp;P&eacute;ladeau added that Quebecor and Rogers have
always had a strong relationship.This trilateral agreement with Shaw is yet another example. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL">&#147;Today&#146;s announcement marks an important milestone in our
bold and transformative journey to join together with Rogers,&#148; said Brad Shaw, Executive Chairman and CEO of Shaw. &#147;Since Shaw entered the wireless business in 2016, we have made significant strides towards changing the Canadian wireless
landscape. We made a promise to Canadians that we would increase choice and affordability and I&#146;m proud to say we delivered on that promise. Today&#146;s announcement ensures that Freedom Mobile will remain a strong competitor.&#148; </P>
