TORONTO, June 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rogers Communications Inc. (“RCI”) announced today that it has priced a public offering of US$750 million of floating rate senior notes due 2022 which will bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 0.60% per annum. The net proceeds from the issuance will be approximately US$747 million and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment, in part, of RCI’s 5.34% Senior Notes due 2021 at or prior to maturity. The sale of the US dollar debt securities is expected to close on June 22, 2020.
The US dollar debt securities will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus filed with the SEC as part of an effective shelf registration statement on Form F-10.

A written prospectus and prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the US dollar debt securities may also be obtained from RCI by contacting Glenn Brandt as described below.
The US dollar debt securities are not being offered in Canada or to any resident of Canada. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
