The undersigned acknowledges that he or she has received the prospectus, dated , 2023 (as amended or supplemented, the “Prospectus”), of Rogers Communications Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada (the “Company”) and Rogers Communications Canada Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Guarantor”), and this Letter of Transmittal (this “Letter”), which together constitute the Company’s offers to exchange up to US$1,000,000,000 2.95% Senior Notes due 2025, US$1,300,000,000 3.20% Senior Notes due 2027, US$2,000,000,000 3.80% Senior Notes due 2032, US$750,000,000 4.50% Senior Notes due 2042 and US$2,000,000,000 4.55% Senior Notes due 2052 (collectively, the “Restricted Notes”) for a like aggregate principal amount of up to US$1,000,000,000 2.95% Senior Notes due 2025, US$1,300,000,000 3.20% Senior Notes due 2027, US$2,000,000,000 3.80% Senior Notes due 2032, US$750,000,000 4.50% Senior Notes due 2042 and US$2,000,000,000 4.55% Senior Notes due 2052 (collectively, the “Exchange Notes”), respectively, in a transaction registered under the Securities Act (each an “Exchange Offer” and, collectively, the “Exchange Offers”).
