Investment </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">TORONTO, April&nbsp;4, 2025 - Rogers Communications Inc. (TSX: RCI.A and RCI.B; NYSE: RCI) (&#147;Rogers&#148;) today announced that it has
commenced consent solicitations to amend the indentures governing certain of its outstanding US dollar-denominated and Canadian dollar-denominated notes, including notes originally issued by Shaw Communications Inc. (collectively the &#147;Consent
Solicitations&#148;), as listed in the table below (the &#147;Notes&#148;). The Consent Solicitations are being made in connection with the subsidiary equity investment announced today by Rogers and Blackstone. Rogers intends to use substantially
all of the net proceeds of the subsidiary equity investment to repay debt. The subsidiary equity investment will be reported as equity in Rogers&#146; consolidated financial statements, and is expected to be considered an equity investment by
Moody&#146;s Investors Services, Inc., S&amp;P Global Ratings, a division of S&amp;P Global Inc., and DBRS Limited. Rogers believes that the subsidiary equity investment does not constitute debt of a type that is limited by the indentures governing
Rogers&#146; notes. However, because of the innovative and multi-faceted nature of the subsidiary equity investment, Rogers has determined it is prudent to seek the requisite consents from the holders of each series of Rogers&#146; notes listed
below to implement an amendment to the applicable indentures for the purpose of unequivocally clarifying that the subsidiary equity investment is not subject to the covenant limiting debt of Rogers&#146; subsidiaries or the other negative covenants
of, and is otherwise permitted by, and does not constitute a default under, the applicable indentures. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
