TORONTO and CALGARY, Alberta, July 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The early mediation between Rogers Communications Inc. (“Rogers”), Shaw Communications Inc. (“Shaw”), and the Commissioner of Competition on July 4 and July 5, 2022, did not result in a resolution of the Commissioner’s objections to the proposed merger.

The review process will continue as previously disclosed. Rogers and Shaw are not precluded from continuing discussions with the Commissioner at any time.

Rogers and Shaw intend to continue to work constructively with the Commissioner to highlight the many benefits of the merger to all Canadians, including maintaining a strong and sustainable fourth wireless carrier across Canada through the proposed divestiture of Freedom Wireless to Quebecor Inc.
