Terrion

Our Terrion subsidiary was established under the Partnership Act (Ontario) on July 24, 2025, and its principal place of business is Canada. Terrion is a wireless tower infrastructure operator enabling wholesale access and co-location.

During the 160-day period (hereinafter referred to as “the year”) from the date of establishment of the partnership through December 31, 2025, Terrion capitalization activity included issuing equity in Terrion to a non-controlling interest. Subsequent to the capitalization activity, TELUS Corporation retained a 50.1% voting and economic interest in Terrion. TELUS has a call option, exercisable in whole but not in part, in respect of the non-controlling interest either in September 2027 (if there is a dispute among the partners) or after September 2057. The call option price is generally the greater of fair value and a multiple of invested capital.

(c)Purchase of Common Shares for cancellation pursuant to normal course issuer bid

As referred to in Note 3, we may purchase a portion of our Common Shares for cancellation pursuant to normal course issuer bids in order to maintain or adjust our capital structure.

On December 15, 2025, we announced that we had received approval for a normal course issuer bid to purchase and cancel up to 28 million of our Common Shares (up to a maximum of $500 million) from December 17, 2025, to December 16, 2026, through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange and/or alternative trading platforms or otherwise as may be permitted by applicable securities laws and regulations, including privately negotiated block purchases. Additionally, we are able to enter into an automatic share purchase plan with a broker for the purpose of permitting us to purchase our Common Shares under the normal course issuer bid at times we would not otherwise be permitted to trade in our own Common Shares, including during regularly scheduled quarterly internal blackout periods. Such purchases will be determined by the broker in its sole discretion based on parameters we have established. We record a liability and charge share capital and retained earnings for purchases that may occur during such blackout periods based upon the parameters of the normal course issuer bid as at the statement of financial position date.

The excess of the purchase price over the average stated value of Common Shares purchased for cancellation is charged to retained earnings. We cease to consider the Common Shares to be outstanding on the date of our purchase of the Common Shares, although the actual cancellation of the Common Shares by the transfer agent and registrar occurs on a timely basis on a date shortly thereafter.
