Purchase of Mobilicity brings continuity of service and certainty to
over 150,000 wireless customers

Will exercise option to acquire Shaw’s unused AWS-1 spectrum to meet
growing mobile video needs

TORONTO, June 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ – Rogers Communications will immediately
boost speed and quality for wireless customers in BC, Alberta and
Southern Ontario as part of a series of transactions announced today.
The transactions mean Rogers is completing the previously announced
acquisition of Shaw’s AWS-1 spectrum and acquiring 100% ownership of
Mobilicity. The company is also divesting, post transaction, certain
AWS-1 spectrum to WIND Mobile that is contiguous to their spectrum
holdings.

“We’re basically adding multiple lanes on our wireless highway in three
key markets overnight,” said Guy Laurence, President and CEO of Rogers
Communications. “This means faster speeds and better quality for our
customers as they use more and more mobile video.”

“The transaction with Rogers provides the best possible outcome for
Mobilicity’s customers, dealers and employees,” said Anthony Booth,
President of Mobilicity. “Rogers ensures certainty of service for
Mobilicity customers, provides a great network, national coverage and
high quality products and services. At the same time, Mobilicity
employees will have the opportunity to work at a great Canadian company
in Rogers.”

The transactions mean Rogers gains significant, previously unused
spectrum capacity that works with all LTE devices today.

“This agreement is great news for our customers and for Canadians. We’re
pleased to have worked with the government to put this unused valuable
resource to work,” said Laurence. “We got the spectrum we needed where
we needed it for our customers and this keeps Rogers in the leading
competitive position across the country.”

The purchase of Mobilicity is subject to approval by the Competition
Bureau and the Court. The transactions have been approved by Industry
Canada.

As per the previously announced terms to complete the Shaw spectrum
acquisition, Rogers will pay $100 million in addition to the down
payments made when the agreement was originally announced in January
2013.

The transaction with Mobilicity is supported and was facilitated by The
Catalyst Capital Group Inc., on behalf of investment funds managed by
it, working closely with Rogers on the structuring of the transaction.
The $440 million purchase price is offset by tax losses valued at
approximately $175 million which Rogers will acquire. The transaction
is subject to working capital adjustments.

Following the acquisition of spectrum from Shaw and Mobilicity
respectively, Rogers and WIND will undertake an AWS-1 spectrum swap in
Southern Ontario to create contiguous spectrum for Rogers. Rogers will
also divest certain non-contiguous AWS-1 spectrum to WIND Mobile in BC,
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northern Ontario and Eastern
Ontario.
