1    Free cash flow, available liquidity, and debt leverage ratio are capital management measures. Pro forma debt leverage ratio is a non-GAAP ratio. Pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is a component of pro forma debt leverage ratio. These are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for more information about these measures, and "Financial Condition" for a reconciliation of available liquidity, in our 2025 MD&A, available at www.sedarplus.ca.
2    This has been calculated on an adjusted basis to include trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA of a combined Rogers and MLSE as if the MLSE Transaction had closed at the beginning of the trailing 12-month period. If calculated on an as reported basis without the foregoing adjustment, our debt leverage ratio as at December 31, 2025 was 4.0

ITEM 7 – Description of Capital Structure

ITEM 7.1 – GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE

The information required under the heading General Description of Capital Structure is contained in the 2025 Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 28, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Each Class A Voting Share of RCI carries the right to fifty votes on a poll and may be voted at the meetings of shareholders of RCI. Holders of Class B Non-Voting Shares of RCI and any series of preferred shares of RCI are entitled to receive notice of and to attend meetings of shareholders of RCI, but except as required by law or stipulated by stock exchanges, are not entitled to vote at such meetings.

ITEM 7.2 – CONSTRAINTS

RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFER, VOTING, AND ISSUE OF SHARES
We have ownership interests in several Canadian entities licensed or authorized to operate under applicable communications laws (the Laws), including the: 
Broadcasting Act (Canada);
Telecommunications Act (Canada); and
Radiocommunication Act (Canada).

The Laws have foreign ownership limits (the Limits) for various classes of licensed or authorized entities. A copy of the Limits can be obtained from our Corporate Secretary. The Laws also impose a number of restrictions on changes in effective control of licensees or authorized entities, and the transfer of licences held by them. RCI’s Articles of Amalgamation therefore impose restrictions on the issue and transfer of its shares and the exercise of voting rights to ensure that we, and any corporation existing in a Canadian jurisdiction in which we have an interest, are: 
qualified to hold or obtain any cable television, broadcasting, or telecommunications licence or authorized to operate a similar entity under the Laws; and
not in breach of the Laws or any licences issued to us or to any of our Canadian subsidiaries, associates, or affiliates under the Laws.

If the Board considers that RCI's, or its subsidiaries', ability to hold and obtain licences, or to remain in compliance with the Laws, may be in jeopardy, the Board may invoke the restrictions in our Articles of Amalgamation on transfer, voting, and issue of our shares.

ITEM 7.3 – RATINGS

Credit ratings provide an independent measure of credit quality of an issue of securities and can affect our ability to obtain short-term and long-term financing and the terms of the financing. If rating agencies lower the credit ratings on our debt, particularly a downgrade below investment-grade, it could adversely affect our cost of financing and access to liquidity and capital.

We have engaged, and compensated, each of S&P Global Ratings Services (S&P), Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), and DBRS Morningstar to rate certain of our public debt issues. During the last two years, we also engaged and compensated them to provide other services, including an assessment of the sale of a non-controlling interest in Backhaul Network Services Inc., a Canadian subsidiary of Rogers that owns a minor part of our wireless network. Below is a summary of the credit ratings on RCI's outstanding senior and subordinated notes and debentures (long-term) and US CP (short-term) as at December 31, 2025.

1As at December 31, 2025, we have not sought a rating from DBRS Morningstar for our subordinated debt issued before March 31, 2022 or for our short-term obligations.

In connection with our February 2025 subordinated note issuance, we sought a rating from DBRS Morningstar on those subordinated notes, which were rated BB. DBRS Morningstar has not provided a rating for the subordinated notes we issued in 2021 or 2022. The subordinated notes issued in February 2025 were rated Ba1 by Moody's. Moody's credit ratings for our previously issued subordinated notes did not change.

Ratings for long-term debt instruments across the universe of composite rates range from AAA (S&P and DBRS Morningstar) or Aaa (Moody's), representing the highest quality of securities rated, to D (S&P and DBRS Morningstar) and C (Moody's) for the lowest quality of securities rated. Investment-grade credit ratings are generally considered to range from BBB- (S&P), BBB (DBRS Morningstar), or Baa3 (Moody's) to AAA (S&P and DBRS Morningstar) or Aaa (Moody's).

Ratings for short-term debt instruments across the universe of composite rates ranges from A-1+ (S&P) or P-1 (Moody's), representing the highest quality of securities rated, to C (S&P), and not prime (Moody's) for the lowest quality of securities rated. Investment-grade credit ratings are generally considered to be ratings of at least A-3 (S&P), or P-3 (Moody's) quality or higher.

Credit ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell securities, nor are they a comment on market price or investor suitability. There is no assurance that a rating will remain in effect for a given period, or that a rating will not be

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD
The Board currently has 14 members.

Independent Directors
The Board is responsible for determining whether a director is “independent” within the meaning of National Instrument 58-101 - "Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices" (NI 58-101). Certain directors may be principals of, partners in, or hold other positions with entities that provide legal, financial, or other services to us. The Board has adopted discretionary Director Material Relationship Standards for the purpose of assisting the Board in making determinations regarding whether or not a direct or indirect business, commercial, banking, consulting, professional, or charitable relationship a director may have with RCI or its subsidiaries is a material relationship that could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment. These standards can be reviewed on our website at about.rogers.com/investor-relations.

Based on the information provided by each director and the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has determined that the following directors are independent in accordance with the requirements of NI 58-101 and the standards referred to above. In making this determination, the Board considered all of the relationships that each director has with the Company (taking the discretionary standards referred to above and other factors the Board considered relevant into account) and concluded that none of the relationships considered would likely impair the director’s independent judgment.

Lead Director
Pursuant to the Board Charter, the Board has appointed Robert J. Gemmell as Lead Director. The Lead Director facilitates the functioning of the Board independently of management of the Company and provides independent leadership to the Board. Shareholders wishing to contact the Lead Director may write to the Lead Director, in care of the Corporate Secretary, at the head office of the Company, 333 Bloor Street East, 10th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M4W 1G9, Canada.

BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board has eight permanent (or standing) committees. The Board may appoint special committees to deal with specific matters. A special committee might, for example, consider proposed material transactions between the significant shareholder and us or between our subsidiaries and us. In those cases, the committee would consist entirely of independent directors who have no relationship to us or to the significant shareholder other than as a director. Charters for the various Board committees can be reviewed on our website at about.rogers.com/investor-relations.
 
CONTROLLED COMPANY EXEMPTION
The NYSE listing standards require a listed company to have, among other things, a nominating committee consisting entirely of independent directors. The rules permit a “controlled company” to be exempt from these requirements. A “controlled company” is a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group, or another company. The Board has determined that it is appropriate for directors affiliated with the controlling shareholder to serve on the Board committees, apart from the Audit and Risk Committee, because of the alignment of interests between our controlling shareholder and our minority shareholders, namely the creation of value and long-term growth. Accordingly, the Board has approved the Company’s reliance on the controlled company exemption with regards to membership of the nominating committee.

FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER STATUS
Under the NYSE listing standards, a “foreign private issuer”, such as the Company, is not required to comply with most of the NYSE corporate governance listing standards. However, foreign private issuers are required to disclose any significant ways in which their corporate governance practices differ from those followed by US companies under the NYSE listing standards.

Shareholder Approval of Equity Compensation Plans
The NYSE listing standards require shareholder approval of all equity compensation plans and material revisions to such plans, subject to limited exceptions. The definition of “equity compensation plan” covers plans that provide for the delivery of newly issued or treasury securities. The TSX rules provide that only the creation of, or material amendments to, equity compensation plans that provide for new issuances of securities are subject to shareholder approval in certain circumstances. We follow the TSX rules with respect to the requirements for shareholder approval of equity compensation plans and material revisions to such plans.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The Board endorses the principle that our corporate governance practices are a fundamental part of our proper functioning as a corporation. The Board believes that these corporate governance practices enhance the interests of our security holders, employees, customers, and of others dealing with us. Our Statement of Corporate Governance Practices can be reviewed on our website at about.rogers.com/investor-relations.

To our knowledge, based on information supplied by the directors and executive officers, none of our directors or senior executive officers, or a shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities to affect materially the control of the Company is, or within the ten years prior to the date hereof has been, a director or executive officer of any company that: (i) while that person was acting in that capacity was the subject of a cease trade or similar order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; (ii) was subject to an event that resulted, after the director or executive officer ceased to be a director or executive officer, in the company being the subject of a cease trade or similar order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or (iii) within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement, or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager, or trustee appointed to hold its assets, except as follows:

(Mobi724), Mobi724 filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada). Mobi724 subsequently filed a proposal to its creditors, and the proposal proceedings remain ongoing.

2.On June 30, 2023, while Mr. Robinson was a director of Mobi724, the Autorité des marchés financiers issued a permanent cease trade order against Mobi724 due to Mobi724's failure to file its annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 10.3 - Conflicts of Interest

The Board has adopted both a Directors Code of Conduct and Ethics and the Business Conduct Policy for directors, officers, and employees, which we refer to as the Codes. The Codes require our directors, officers, and employees to disclose any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest, among other requirements.

To ensure the directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions, agreements, or decisions in respect of which a director has a material interest, the directors follow a practice whereby any such director with a material interest must be absent during any board discussion pertaining thereto and must not cast a vote on such matter.
 
Issues arising in connection with the Codes, including conflicts of interest, are reported to the Audit and Risk Committee (in the case of the Business Conduct Policy) or to the Corporate Governance Committee (in the case of the Directors Code of
Rogers Communications Inc.

Fiscal 2025


Conduct and Ethics), each of which are responsible for monitoring compliance with the applicable Code and applying and interpreting the applicable Code in particular situations. The Committees must inform the Board of Code violations.

Processes are in place to ensure compliance with the Codes by the Board, officers, and employees, such as distribution of the Business Conduct Policy to our employees and the STAR Hotline, our anonymous whistleblower hotline.

The Codes can be reviewed on our website at about.rogers.com/investor-relations.
