Rogers Communications Inc. 6 Third Quarter 2025 NOTE 1: NATURE OF THE BUSINESS Rogers Communications Inc. is a diversified Canadian communications and media company. Substantially all of our operatio

ns and sales are in Canada. RCI is incorporated in Canada and its registered office is located at 333 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M4W 1G9. RCI's shares are publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: RCI.A and RCI.B) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: RCI). We, us, our, Rogers, Rogers Communications, and the Company refer to Rogers Communications Inc. and its subsidiaries. RCI refers to the legal entity Rogers Communications Inc., not including its subsidiaries. Rogers also holds interests in various investments and ventures. We report our results of operations in three reportable segments. Each segment and the nature of its business is as follows: Segment Principal activities Wireless Wireless telecommunications operations for Canadian consumers, businesses, the public sector, and wholesale providers. Cable Cable telecommunications operations, including Internet, television and other video (Video), Satellite, telephony (Home Phone), and home monitoring services for Canadian consumers and businesses, and network connectivity through our fibre network and data centre assets to support a range of voice, data, networking, hosting, and cloud-based services for the business, public sector, and carrier wholesale markets. Media A diversified portfolio of media properties, including sports media and entertainment, television and radio broadcasting, specialty channels, and digital media. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Wireless and Cable were operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (RCCI), and certain other subsidiaries. Media was operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Media Inc., its subsidiaries, and, following the acquisition of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Inc. (MLSE, see note 3), other subsidiaries. Effective July 2025, Today's Shopping Choice (TSC) was transferred from the Media reportable segment to Corporate Items, consistent with changes to its management structure. Comparative results have been recast to reflect this change, with no impact on consolidated results. Our operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results and thus, one quarter's operating results are not necessarily indicative of a subsequent quarter's operating results. These typical fluctuations are described in note 1 to our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2024 financial statements). Seasonal fluctuations in the MLSE business (see note 3) relate to the timing of seasons, primarily the NHL and NBA seasons, whereby regular season games are concentrated in the fall and winter months (generally the first and fourth quarters of the year) and playoff games are concentrated in the spring months (generally the second quarter of the year). References in these financial statements to the Shaw Transaction are to our acquisition of Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw) on April 3, 2023. For additional details regarding the Shaw Transaction, see note 3 to our 2024 Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Statement of Compliance We prepared our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (third quarter 2025 interim financial statements) in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), following the same accountin
---
g policies and methods of application as those disclosed in our 2024 financial statements. These third quarter 2025 interim financial statements were approved by RCI's Board of Directors (the Board) on October 22, 2025. NOTE 2: MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The notes presented in these third quarter 2025 interim financial statements include only material transactions and changes occurring for the nine months since our year-end of December 31, 2024 and do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB for annual financial statements. These third quarter 2025 interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2024 financial statements. All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2025 We did not adopt any accounting pronouncements or amendments this period. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted The IASB has not issued any new or amended accounting pronouncements in 2025. Rogers Communications Inc. 7 Third Quarter 2025 NOTE 3: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND SALES Acquisition of MLSE Effective July 1, 2025, after receiving all required regulatory and league approvals, we acquired Bell's 37.5% ownership stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE) for a purchase price of $4.7 billion in cash (MLSE Transaction). The purchase price was primarily funded from bank credit facilities together with cash on hand (see note 16). With the closing of the MLSE Transaction, we are the largest owner of MLSE, with a 75% controlling interest. Immediately before acquiring control of an entity, IFRS requires a pre-existing non-controlling equity interest be remeasured at fair value, with any resulting gain or loss recognized in net income. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a $5 billion non-cash gain (reflecting the investment's fair value) associated with our existing 37.5% interest in MLSE (see note 10). The holder (MLSE minority holder) of the 25% non-controlling interest in MLSE (MLSE non-controlling interest) has a right to require we purchase its interest beginning in July 2026 at an agreement-defined fair value (MLSE put liability); we have a reciprocal right to acquire the MLSE non-controlling interest under the same terms. MLSE owns the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL), Toronto Raptors (NBA), Toronto FC (MLS), the Toronto Argonauts (CFL), various minor league teams, and associated real estate holdings, such as Scotiabank Arena. The MLSE Transaction added significantly to our other sports assets, including the Toronto Blue Jays, Rogers Centre, and Sportsnet. MLSE's financial results are included in our Media reportable segment effective July 1, 2025. Total consideration in the business combination reflects $4.7 billion in cash paid to Bell plus the closing-date fair value of our existing investment in MLSE of $5 billion. The major classes of assets acquired, along with the preliminary allocation of fair value to each, consist of property, plant and equipment ($1 billion) and intangible assets ($11 billion, primarily franchise rights and associated trademarks). We have recognized preliminary goodwill of $4 billion associated with the acquisition in our Media reportable segment, which arises principally from the recognition of deferred tax liabilities on the indefinite-life intangible assets recognized (see below), the assembled player and non-player w

orkforce, and synergies expected to be generated by the acquisition. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Preliminary purchase price allocation The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration paid and our current best estimate of the fair value assigned to each major class of assets and liabilities as at July 1, 2025. The preliminary purchase price allocation includes estimates and is therefore subject to change, relating to the finalization of the fair values of the acquired intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, investment balances, and working capital and corresponding tax impacts. (In millions of dollars) Total Cash consideration 4,700 Fair value of Rogers' existing investment in MLSE 5,016 Fair value of consideration transferred 9,716 Net identifiable asset or liability: Cash and cash equivalents 201 Accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $8 million) 122 Other current assets 91 Property, plant and equipment 995 Intangible assets 11,411 Investments (note 14) 555 Other long-term assets 178 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (601) MLSE put liability (3,342) Other current liabilities (81) Contract liabilities (268) Current portion of lease liabilities (9) Long-term debt (298) Lease liabilities (95) Other long-term liabilities (204) Deferred tax liabilities (2,971) Total fair value of identifiable net assets acquired 5,684 Goodwill 4,032 Rogers Communications Inc. 8 Third Quarter 2025 Property, plant and equipment The table below summarizes the preliminary allocation for property, plant and equipment acquired from MLSE on closing as at September 30, 2025.

(In millions of dollars) Franchise rights Trademarks Ticket holder and sponsor relationships Other intangible assets Total intangible assets Goodwill Total intangible assets and goodwill Acquired from business combination 9,750 1,264 363 34 11,411 4,032 15,443 Amortization since July 1, 2025 — — 3 — 3 — 3 Net carrying amount 9,750 1,264 360 34 11,408 4,032 15,440 Franchise rights and trademarks have indefinite lives and will not be amortized. Ticket holder and sponsor relationships reflect existing relationships with season ticket holders and corporate sponsors; they will be amortized over their estimated useful lives of 15 to 35 years. Other intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful life of 16 years. MLSE put liability The MLSE put liability reflects our estimate of the fair value o
---
f the MLSE non-controlling interest. It is a financial liability measured at fair value through profit and loss and is categorized at Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value has been estimated using a market-based approach based on the values of the underlying teams and net assets owned by MLSE. Changes in the assumptions related to the team values underlying the valuation could have a material impact on the fair value of the MLSE put liability. Pro forma information Revenue of approximately $0.1 billion and a net loss of approximately $23 million from MLSE are included in the consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition. Our consolidated revenue and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 would have been approximately $16.3 billion and $6.3 billion, respectively, had the MLSE Transaction closed on January 1, 2025. These pro forma amounts reflect depreciation and amortization of applicable elements of the purchase price allocation, related tax adjustments, and the elimination of intercompany transactions. Sale of Data Centre Business During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our customer-facing data centre business to InfraRed Capital Partners for cash proceeds, which we expect to close during the three months ended December 31, 2025. The transaction does not include our corporate data centres used for network and IT purposes. The assets and liabilities related to the data centre business, which were historically included in our Cable reportable segment, have been reclassified as "assets held for sale" ($166 million, substantially reflecting property, plant and equipment and an allocation of Cable goodwill) and "liabilities associated with assets held for sale" ($49 million, substantially reflecting lease liabilities) on our interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position. Rogers Communications Inc. 9 Third Quarter 2025 NOTE 4: CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT Key Metrics and Ratios We monitor adjusted net debt, debt leverage ratio, free cash flow, and available liquidity to manage our capital structure and related risks. These are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar capital management measures disclosed by other companies. A summary of our key metrics and ratios follows, along with a reconciliation between each of these measures and the items presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio We monitor adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio as part of the management of liquidity to sustain future development of our business, conduct valuation-related analyses, and make decisions about capital. In so doing, we typically aim to have an adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio that allow us to maintain investment-grade credit ratings, which allows us the associated access to capital markets. Our debt leverage ratio can increase due to strategic, long-term investments (for example, to obtain new spectrum licences or to consummate an acquisition) and we work to lower the ratio over time. While our debt leverage ratio has increased as a result of the MLSE Transaction, we intend to manage our debt leverage ratio through combined operational synergies, organic growth in adjusted EBITDA, proceeds from asset sales and monetizations, equity financing, and debt repayment, as applicable. As at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we
---
met our objectives for these metrics. As at September 30 As at December 31 (In millions of dollars, except ratios) 2025 2024 Adjusted net debt 1 39,119 43,330 Divided by: trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA 9,664 9,617 Debt leverage ratio 4.0 4.5 1 For the purposes of calculating adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio, we believe adjusting 50% of the value of our subordinated notes is appropriate as this methodology factors in certain circumstances with respect to priority for payment and this approach is commonly used to evaluate debt leverage by rating agencies. Free cash flow We use free cash flow to understand how much cash we generate that is available to repay debt or reinvest in our business, which is an important indicator of our financial strength and performance. As a result of closing the network transaction (see note 18), we have amended our definition of free cash flow to deduct distributions paid to non-controlling interests to reflect the unavailability of this cash flow to repay debt or reinvest in our company.

Available liquidity Available liquidity fluctuates based on business circumstances. We continually manage (including through monitoring our access to capital markets), and aim to have sufficient, available liquidity at all times to help protect our ability to meet all of our commitments (operationally and for maturing debt obligations), to execute our business plan (including to acquire spectrum licences or consummate acquisitions), to mitigate the risk of economic downturns, and for other unforeseen circumstances. As at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had sufficient liquidity available to us to meet this objective. Below is a summary of our total available liquidity from our cash and cash equivalents, bank credit facilities, letter of credit facilities, and short-term borrowings, including our receivables securitizati

Rogers Communications Inc. 11 Third Quarter 2025 Our $815 million Canada Infrastructure Bank credit agreement is not included in available liquidity as it can only be drawn upon for use in broadband projects under the Universal Broadband Fund, and therefore is not available for other general purposes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we borrowed $9 million and $71 million (2024 - nil) under this facility, respectively. NOTE 5: SEGMENTED INFORMATION Our reportable segments are Wireless, Cable, and Media. All three segments operate substantially in Canada. Corporate items and eliminations include our interests in businesses that are not reportable operating segments, corporate administrative functions, and eliminations of inter-segment revenues and costs. Effective July 2025, TSC was transferred from the Media segment to Corporate Items, consistent with changes to its management structure. Comparative results have been recast to reflect this change, with no impact on consolidated results. We follow the same accounting policies for our segments as those described in note 2 of our 2024 financial statements. Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that have been allocated on a reasonable basis. We account for transactions between reportable segments in the same way we account for transactions with external parties, however eliminate them on consolidation. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of RCI are, collectively, our chief operating decision maker and regularly review our operations and performance by segment. They review adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of profit for the purpose of assessing performance of each segment and to make decisions about the allocation of resources. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income before depreciation and amortization; (gain) loss on disposition of property, plant and equipment; restructuring, acquisition and other; finance costs; other (income) e

As a result, net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was reduced by nil and $4 million (2024 - nil and $9 million), respectively, in the diluted earnings per share calculation. A total of 9,078,991 options were excluded from the calculation of the effect of dilutive securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (2024 - 9,513,710), because they were anti-dilutive. NOTE 12: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Derivative Instruments We use derivative instruments to manage financial risks related to our business activities. These include debt derivatives, interest rate derivatives, expenditure derivatives, and equity derivatives. We only use derivatives to manage risk and not for speculative purposes. All of our currently outstanding debt derivatives related to our senior notes, senior debentures, subordinated notes, and lease liabilities, as well as our expenditure derivatives have been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Debt derivatives We use cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, forward cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, and foreign currency forward contracts (collectively, debt derivatives) to manage risks from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates associated with our US dollar-denominated senior notes, debentures, subordinated notes, lease liabilities, credit facility borrowings, and US CP borrowings (see note 16). We typically designate the debt derivatives related to our senior notes, debentures, subordinated notes, and lease liabilities as hedges for accounting purposes against the foreign exchange risk or interest rate risk associated with specific issued and forecast debt instruments. Debt derivatives related to our credit facility and US CP borrowings have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Rogers Communications Inc. 16 Third Quarter 2025 Credit facilities and US CP The tables below summarize the debt derivatives we entered into and settled related to our credit facility borrowings and US CP program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Through the MLSE Transaction, we acquired an interest rate swap MLSE had entered into to convert the $300 million of borrowings outstanding under its non-revolving credit facility (see note 16) from a floating rate to a fixed rate of 3.55%. The interest rate swap matures concurrently with the maturity of the non-revolving credit facility in June 2028. The interest rate swap has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. Senior notes and subordinated notes Below is a summary of the debt derivatives we entered into related to senior notes and subordinated notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Rogers Communications Inc. 17 Third Quarter 2025 As at September 30, 2025, we had US$16,611 million (December 31, 2024 - US$17,250 million) in US dollar-denominated senior notes, debentures, and subordinated notes, of which all of the associated foreign exchange risk had been hedged using debt derivatives, at an average rate of $1.289/US$ (December 31, 2024 - $1.272/US$). In March 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding principal amount of our US$1 billion 2.95% senior notes and the associated debt derivatives at maturity, resulting in $95 million received on settlement of the associated debt derivatives. In July 2025, in connection with the offers to repurchase certain of our US dollar-denominated senior notes, we partially settled the associated debt derivatives on the accepted senior notes. See note 16 for more information. Lease liabilities Below is a summary of the debt derivatives we entered into and settled related to our outstanding lease liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

25 to December 2027) at an average rate of $1.365/US$ (December 31, 2024 - $1.349/US$). Expenditure derivatives We use foreign currency forward contracts (expenditure derivatives) to manage the foreign exchange risk in our operations, designating them as hedges for accounting purposes for certain of our forecast operational and capital expenditures. In 2025, as a result of the MLSE Transaction, we acquired expenditure derivatives and other foreign exchange options that had previously been entered into by MLSE. The other foreign exchange options are effective economic hedges against future US dollar-denominated expenditures; however, they cannot be designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The tables below summarize the expenditure derivatives we entered into and settled during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Three months ended September 30, 2025 Nine months ended September 30, 2025 (In millions of dollars, except exchange rates) Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$) Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$) Expenditure derivatives entered 60 1.313 78 1,235 1.362 1,682 Expenditure derivatives acquired 619 1.363 844 619 1.363 844 Expenditure derivatives settled 499 1.351 674 1,099 1.344 1,477 Three months ended September 30, 2024 Nine months ended September 30, 2024 (In millions of dollars, except exchange rates) Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$) Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$) Expenditure derivatives entered 600 1.342 805 1,110 1.341 1,489 Expenditure derivatives settled 315 1.324 417 915 1.325 1,212 As at September 30, 2025, we had US$2,345 million notional amount of expenditure derivatives outstanding (December 31, 2024 - US$1,590 million) with terms to maturity ranging from October 2025 to June 2039 (December 31, Rogers Communications Inc. 18 Third Quarter 2025 2024 - January 2025 to December 2026) at an average rate of $1.354/US$ (December 31, 2024 - $1.336/US$). Of the US$1,235 million notional expenditure derivatives entered during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, US$305 million relates to a hedge of future Toronto Blue Jays player compensation at a rate of $1.30/US$ over the next 14 years. In addition to the expenditure derivatives set forth in the tables above, we acquired other foreign exchange options with a maximum notional amount of US$1,078 million through the MLSE Transaction. These derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes and changes in their fair values are recognized in "change in fair value of derivative instruments" in "finance costs". During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we settled US$24 million ($32 million) notional amount of other foreign exchange options, reflecting an exchange rate of $1.3175/US$, and US$120 million notional amount of other foreign exchange options expired unexercised. Equity derivatives We use total return swaps (equity derivatives) to hedge the market price appreciation risk of the RCI Class B Non-Voting common shares (Class B Non-Voting Shares) granted under our stock-based compensation programs. The equity derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. As at September 30, 2025, we had equity derivatives outstanding for 4.5 million (December 31, 2024 - 6.0 million) Class B Non-Voting Shares with a weighted average price of $45.89 (December 31, 2024 - $53.27). During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we settled 1.5 million equity derivatives at
---
a weighted average price of $35.32 resulting in a net payment of $22 million on settlement. We also reset the pricing on 2.3 million existing equity derivatives, resulting in a net payment of $38 million. Finally, we executed extension agreements on all equity derivative contracts under substantially the same commitment terms and conditions with revised expiry dates to April 2026 (from April 2025). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we executed extension agreements for our equity derivative contracts under substantially the same commitment terms and conditions with revised expiry dates to April 2025 (from April 2024) and the weighted average cost was adjusted to $53.27 per share. Subsidiary equity derivatives We have entered into cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements to manage the foreign exchange risk of our subsidiary equity investment (subsidiary equity derivatives). The subsidiary equity derivatives economically hedge our US dollar-denominated exposures arising from the subsidiary equity investment but cannot be designated as hedges for accounting purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into subsidiary equity derivatives for US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion) that mature in 2033. These subsidiary equity derivatives convert an 8% US dollar- denominated cash flow into a Cdn$ rate of 7.16% until maturity on a quarterly basis. Cash settlements on debt derivatives and subsidiary equity derivatives The tables below summarize the net proceeds (payments) on settlement of debt derivatives and subsidiary equity derivatives during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The carrying values of our financing receivables also approximate their fair values based on our recognition of an expected credit loss allowance. Rogers Communications Inc. 19 Third Quarter 2025 We determine the fair value of our private investments by using implied valuations from follow-on financing rounds, third- party sale negotiations, or using market-based approaches. These are applied appropriately to each investment depending on its future operating and profitability prospects. The fair values of each of our public debt instruments are based on the period-end estimated market yields, or period-end trading values, where available. We determine the fair values of our debt derivatives and expenditure derivatives using an estimated credit-adjusted mark-to-market valuation by discounting cash flows to the measurement date. In the case of debt derivatives and expenditure derivatives in an asset position, the credit spread for the financial institution counterparty is added to the risk-free discount rate to determine the estimated credit-adjusted value for each derivative. For those debt derivatives and expend

iture derivatives in a liability position, our credit spread is added to the risk-free discount rate for each derivative. The fair values of our equity derivatives are based on the quoted market value of Class B Non-Voting Shares. Our disclosure of the three-level fair value hierarchy reflects the significance of the inputs used in measuring fair value: • financial assets and financial liabilities in Level 1 are valued by referring to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; • financial assets and financial liabilities in Level 2 are valued using inputs based on observable market data, either directly or indirectly, other than the quoted prices; and • Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on observable market data. There were no financial instruments in Level 1 as at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

In July 2025, to partially fund the MLSE Transaction, we borrowed US$1.3 billion ($1.8 billion) under our revolving credit facility (which was subsequently repaid using the proceeds from the network transaction) and US$1.5 billion ($2 billion) under two new $1 billion non-revolving credit facilities that mature in July 2026 (the borrowings under which are recognized within "short-
---
term borrowings" on our consolidated statement of financial position). During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we amended the terms of our revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the $3 billion tranche to September 2030, from April 2029, and the $1 billion tranche to September 30, 2028, from April 2027. Through the MLSE Transaction, we acquired MLSE's revolving and non-revolving credit facilities. The revolving credit facility has a borrowing limit of $260 million and matures in June 2028. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we borrowed $125 million under the MLSE revolving credit facility. The non-revolving credit facility has a borrowing limit of $300 million, is fully drawn (reflected in "Long-term debt acquired through the MLSE Transaction" in the table above), and matures in June 2028. MLSE had entered into an interest rate swap to convert the floating interest rate on the borrowings under the non-revolving credit facility to a fixed interest rate (see note 12 for more information). Both of MLSE's credit facilities are secured by a first charge on Scotiabank Arena and all personal property of MLSE, subject to certain exceptions. Senior and Subordinated Notes Issuance of senior and subordinated notes and related debt derivatives Below is a summary of the senior notes we issued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The three issuances of subordinated notes due 2055 can be redeemed at par on February 15, 2030, February 15, 2035, and February 15, 2030, respectively, or on any subsequent interest payment date. Rogers Communications Inc. 27 Third Quarter 2025 2025 In February 2025, we issued three tranches of subordinated notes, consisting of: • US$1.1 billion due 2055 with an initial coupon of 7.00% for the first five years; • US$1 billion due 2055 with an initial coupon of 7.125% for the first ten years; and • $1 billion due 2055 with an initial coupon of 5.625% for the first five years. Concurrent with these US dollar-denominated issuances, we entered into debt derivative to convert all interest and principal payment obligations to Canadian dollars. We received net proceeds of $4.0 billion from the issuances. The US$1.1 billion and the Cdn$1 billion notes can be redeemed at par on their five-year anniversary or on any subsequent interest payment date. The US$1 billion notes can be redeemed at par on their ten-year an

niversary or on any subsequent interest payment date. The subordinated notes are unsecured and subordinated obligations of RCI. Payment on these notes will, under certain circumstances, be subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of our senior indebtedness, including our senior notes, debentures, and bank credit facilities. 2024 In February 2024, we issued senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of US$2.5 billion, consisting of US$1.25 billion of 5.00% senior notes due 2029 and US$1.25 billion of 5.30% senior notes due 2034. Concurrent with the issuance, we entered into debt derivatives to convert all interest and principal payment obligations to Canadian dollars. As a result, we received net proceeds of US$2.46 billion ($3.32 billion). We used the proceeds from this issuance to repay $3.4 billion of our term loan facility such that only $1 billion remains outstanding under the April 2026 tranche. Repayment of senior notes and related derivative settlements 2025 In March 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our US$1 billion 2.95% senior notes and settled the associated debt derivatives at maturity. As a result, we repaid $1,344 million, including $95 million received on settlement of the associated debt derivatives. In April 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our $1.25 billion 3.10% senior notes at maturity. There were no derivatives associated with these senior notes. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we purchased $1,205 million principal amount of our Canadian dollar-denominated senior notes and US$1,738 million principal amount of our US dollar-denominated senior notes, paying the note holders $1,147 million and US$1,411 million, respectively, plus accrued interest, for the purchase of those senior notes. In connection with our purchase of the US-dollar denominated senior notes, we also partially settled the associated debt derivatives. See note 12 for more information on the settlement of debt derivatives. 2024 In January 2024, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our $500 million 4.35% senior notes at maturity. In March 2024, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our $600 million 4.00% senior notes at maturity. There were no derivatives associated with these senior notes. Consent solicitation In connection with the sale of the minority interest in a new subsidiary (see note 18), we received the requisite consent from the holders of our outstanding senior notes for certain proposed clarifying amendments to the indentures governing those securities, and paid an aggregate of approximately $30 million to the consenting holders for their consents concurrently with the closing of the network transaction plus approximately $18 million of other directly attributable transaction costs. These costs will be amortized into finance costs over the remaining terms of the underlying notes using the effective interest method.

On October 22, 2025, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per Class A Voting Share and Class B Non-Voting Share, to be paid on January 2, 2026, to shareholders of record on December 8, 2025. The holders of Class A Shares are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of up to five cents per share but only after dividends at the rate of five cents per share have been paid or set aside on the Class B Non-Voting Shares. Class A Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares therefore participate equally in dividends above five cents per share. Non-controlling Interest On June 20, 2025, we sold a 49.9% equity interest, representing a 20% voting interest, in a subsidiary (Backhaul Network Services Inc., or BNSI) that owns a portion of our wireless backhaul transport infrastructure to Blackstone for US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion). We control BNSI and have therefore included its results in our consolidated financial statements. Provided our debt leverage ratio is not greater than 3.25x, at any time between the eighth and twelfth anniversaries of closing, we will have the right to purchase Blackstone's interest in BNSI for a cash purchase price based on the lesser of a multiple of BNSI's EBITDA (calculated in accordance with the BNSI shareholder agreement) and an amount necessary to provide Blackstone with an 8% annual rate of return, subject to a pre-agreed floor and after considering distributions previously made to Blackstone. Blackstone does not have a right to require Rogers to repurchase or redeem its shares. BNSI is the exclusive provider to Rogers of backhaul services for cellular data transmission in Ontario and Alberta, subject to certain exceptions. RCI has entered into a long-term backhaul services agreement with BNSI (for an initial term of 25 years and subject to renewal) under which it will pay fees to BNSI for cellular data transmission, subject to an annual minimum payment and periodic price adjustments. Rogers Communications Inc. 29 Third Quarter 2025 During the first five years of Blackstone's investment, subject to approval of the BNSI board of directors, BNSI will have a distribution policy to make quarterly pro rata cash distributions to Blackstone and RCCI of available cash in an amount that is intended to provide Blackstone with a 7% annual return on i

ts US dollar investment. Except in certain circumstances, Rogers will be entitled to any excess cash above the target distribution threshold during this five-year period, which may be loaned to RCI. After the first five years of Blackstone's investment, all distributions of available cash by BNSI will be made on a pro rata basis to Blackstone and RCCI. We have entered into derivative agreements in connection with the network transaction (see note 12).
