VANCOUVER, May 28, 2013 /CNW/ – TELUS welcomes today’s approval of its
acquisition of Mobilicity by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

“Following on last week’s vote in favour of the proposal by Mobilicity’s
debtholders, today’s court decision takes us another important step
closer to completing this acquisition, which will allow TELUS to save
the jobs of Mobilicity’s 150 employees and continue service for their
250,000 customers without the disruption that company’s current
financial issues could cause,” said David Fuller, TELUS Chief Marketing
Officer.

TELUS and Mobilicity announced May 16 that TELUS had agreed to acquire
the company for $380 million, subject to approval from the company’s
debtholders, the court, the Competition Bureau, and Industry Canada. On
May 23 Mobilicity announced its debtholders voted in favour of the
transaction. Today, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice found the
proposed acquisition can proceed under the Canadian Business
Corporations Act.

TELUS and Mobilicity are seeking expeditious regulatory review due to
the challenging financial circumstances Mobilicity is facing.
