today provided the following statement upon being advised that the Commissioner of Competition is appealing the Competition Tribunal decision permitting Rogers&#146; proposed merger with Shaw and Quebecor&#146;s acquisition of Freedom Mobile and
applying for an injunction to prevent the proposed transactions from closing pending disposition of an appeal. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We remain committed to these <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pro-competitive</FONT> transactions that will bring more choice, more affordability and more connectivity to Canadians. The Tribunal&#146;s decision was the right one, and the Tribunal was clear in its summary that the
transactions we have proposed are not likely to substantially lessen competition in Alberta and British Columbia. Instead, as the Tribunal found, the transactions will likely result in an intensifying of competition. We are deeply disappointed that
the Commissioner continues to attempt to deny Canada and Canadians the advantages that will come from these proposed transactions.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to
the Competition Tribunal&#146;s Summary of Decision on December&nbsp;29, the Rogers combination with Shaw has already been approved by the shareholders of Shaw and the Court of King&#146;s Bench of Alberta, and the transfer of Shaw&#146;s
broadcasting licences to Rogers has been approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.&nbsp;The Rogers-Shaw merger is also subject to customary closing conditions. There is no certainty with respect to the timing or
outcome of the Commissioner&#146;s application for an injunction or the appeal. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Before Rogers&#146; merger with Shaw can proceed, the Honourable <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Fran&ccedil;ois-Philippe</FONT> Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, must also approve spectrum license transfers from Shaw to Videotron Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quebecor, pursuant to the
acquisition of Freedom by Quebecor. </P>
