<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Quebecor&#146;s acquisition of Freedom Mobile creates a strong national wireless carrier that will offer competitive high-quality services,
including 5G connectivity across Canada </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>TORONTO, MONTREAL AND CALGARY, August</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;12, 2022 </B>&#150; Rogers Communications Inc.
(&#147;Rogers&#148;), Shaw Communications Inc. (&#147;Shaw&#148;) and Quebecor Inc. (&#147;Quebecor&#148;) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement (the &#147;Agreement&#148;) for the sale of Freedom Mobile Inc.
(&#147;Freedom&#148;) to Videotron Ltd., a subsidiary of Quebecor (the &#147;Freedom Transaction&#148;), subject to regulatory approvals and closing of the merger of Shaw and Rogers announced on March&nbsp;15, 2021 (the &#147;Rogers-Shaw
Transaction&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The parties strongly believe the Freedom Transaction provides the best opportunity to create a strong fourth national wireless
services provider and addresses the concerns raised by the Commissioner of Competition and the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry regarding the Rogers-Shaw Transaction. With this Agreement, the new combined business of Videotron and
Freedom will be well-positioned to launch a strong, competitive national 5G offering, using Videotron&#146;s 3500 MHz holdings. Accordingly, the parties believe the Rogers-Shaw Transaction should now be approved. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This definitive agreement is substantially consistent with the terms previously announced on June&nbsp;17, 2022. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We are very pleased with this Agreement, and we are determined to continue building on Freedom&#146;s assets,&#148; said Pierre Karl P&eacute;ladeau,
President and CEO of Quebecor. &#147;Quebecor has shown that it is the best player to create real competition and disrupt the market. Our strong track record combined with Freedom&#146;s solid Canadian footprint will allow us to offer consumers in
British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario more choice, value, and affordability through discounted multiservice bundles and innovative products.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;This Agreement with Quebecor brings us one step closer to completing our merger with Shaw,&#148; said Tony Staffieri, President and CEO of Rogers.
&#147;We strongly believe that this divestiture solution addresses the concerns raised by the Commissioner of Competition and the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry and we look forward to securing the outstanding regulatory approvals for
our merger with Shaw so that we can start delivering its significant long-term benefits to Canadian consumers and businesses, including improved network resiliency.&#148; </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;My family, our management team, and our people are extremely proud of what we built with Freedom
Mobile. Over the past six years we invested billions of dollars and launched products and services that disrupted the marketplace and helped redefine what Canadians can expect from their wireless carrier, but there&#146;s much more that could be
done as next generation networks are deployed, technology becomes more sophisticated and consumers&#146; demands for fast and responsive applications continue to increase,&#148; said Brad Shaw, Executive Chairman and CEO of Shaw. &#147;Bringing
Freedom Mobile and Quebecor together will expand Freedom&#146;s scope to create a national provider with greater ability to invest and compete for the future growth and technology Canadians will need.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Required Approvals </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Freedom Transaction is
conditional on, among other things, clearance under the Competition Act and approval of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. It is also conditional on, and would close substantially concurrently with, closing of the Rogers-Shaw
Transaction. As previously announced, Rogers, Shaw and the Shaw Family Living Trust have agreed to extend the outside date of the Rogers-Shaw Transaction to December&nbsp;31, 2022 (which outside date may be further extended to January&nbsp;31, 2023
at the option of Rogers or Shaw, provided Rogers has committed financing available to complete the merger), demonstrating their commitment to completing this transformative combination. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Rogers-Shaw Transaction, which would see Shaw merge with Rogers, has already been approved by the shareholders of Shaw and the Court of Queen&#146;s Bench
of Alberta, and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, and remains subject to review by the Competition Tribunal and approval by the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. The Commissioner of Competition has applied
for an order of the Competition Tribunal that the parties not proceed with the Rogers-Shaw Transaction, and closing of the Rogers-Shaw Transaction is conditional on either agreement with the Commissioner of Competition or the Competition Tribunal
disposing of the application on terms that allow the transaction to close. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rogers&#146; standalone financial guidance for 2022, provided on
April&nbsp;20, 2022, remains unchanged. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements </B></P>

about the terms and conditions of the Freedom Transaction, the anticipated benefits and effects of the Freedom Transaction and the Rogers-Shaw Transaction and the timing thereof, including the expected impact of the Freedom Transaction on

May&nbsp;9,&nbsp;2022 by the Commissioner of Competition before the Competition Tribunal to block the Rogers-Shaw Transaction and any appeals from any decision rendered by the Competition Tribunal; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of

forward-looking information and that it would be unreasonable to rely on such statements as creating legal rights regarding the future results or plans of Rogers, Shaw or Quebecor. We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking information will

clearances will be obtained or that either the Freedom Transaction or the Rogers-Shaw Transaction will occur, or that either will occur on the terms and conditions described herein or previously announced. The Freedom Transaction and the Rogers-Shaw
Transaction could be modified, restructured or terminated. There can be no assurance that one or both of the Freedom Transaction or the Rogers-Shaw Transaction will be acceptable to regulatory authorities or will be completed in order to permit the
other transaction to be consummated. There can also be no assurance that the outside date of the Rogers-Shaw Transaction will be further extended by the parties, or that the outside date of the Freedom Transaction will be extended by the parties to
the extent necessary to permit closing of either transaction to occur. Finally, there can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits of either the Freedom Transaction or the Rogers-Shaw Transaction will be achieved in the expected timeframes or
