Item 1 Comment:
This Amendment No. 4 (this "Amendment No. 4") to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person Corporation ("the Reporting Person") with the SEC on May 26, 2023 (the "Original Schedule 13D", as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on February 16, 2024, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on September 26, 2024 and as further amended by Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on June 12, 2025). This Amendment No. 4 relates to the Subordinate Voting Shares of TELUS International (Cda) Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada (the "Issuer"), with its principal executive offices located at Floor 5, 510 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6B 0M3. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 4 and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D. | ||
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented and amended to add the following information:
On September 2, 2025, the Reporting Person and the Issuer jointly announced that they had entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") providing for the acquisition by the Reporting Person of all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Issuer (collectively, the "Shares") not already owned, directly or indirectly, by it for a price per Share of US$4.50 (the "Agreed Price"), by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement").
The Arrangement Agreement provides for the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Agreed Price is payable by the Reporting Person, at the Issuer's shareholders' election, in (i) US$4.50 in cash, (ii) 0.273 of a common share of the Reporting Person or (iii) a combination of US$2.25 in cash and 0.136 of a common share of the Reporting Person, subject in the case of clauses (ii) or (iii) to proration, such that the aggregate consideration paid to the Issuer's shareholders will include no more than 25% in common shares of the Reporting Person.
The consummation of the Arrangement is subject to a number of customary closing conditions for transactions of the nature of the Arrangement, including, among others: (i) approval of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares (including the Reporting Person and its affiliates) present or represented by proxy at the special meeting of the shareholders to be held in connection with the approval of the Arrangement (the "Meeting"), voting together as a single class (with each Subordinate Voting Share entitling its holder to one vote and each Multiple Voting Share entitled its holder to ten votes), (ii) approval of a simple majority of the votes cast by holders of Subordinate Voting Shares present or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding for this purpose the Subordinate Voting Shares held, directly or indirectly, by the Reporting Person and by any other shareholder required to be excluded pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations, (iii) court approval and (iv) receipt of regulatory approval required under applicable foreign direct investment laws and customary stock exchange approvals.
Riel B.V. (indirectly and wholly-owned by BPEA Private Equity Fund VI, L.P.1., BPEA Private Equity Fund VI, L.P.2 and certain of its affiliates) ("EQT"), the Issuer's largest minority shareholder holding approximately 31.0% of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares and 7.5% of the Multiple Voting Shares, as well as all of the Issuer's directors and officers, holding approximately 3.2% of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares, have entered into support and voting agreements with the Reporting Person under which they have agreed, among other things, to vote in support of the Arrangement at the Meeting, subject to certain exceptions. The forms of support and voting agreement entered into by EQT, on the one hand, and by the Issuer's directors and officers, on the other hand, are appended to the Arrangement Agreement and incorporated herein by reference (the "Voting Agreements").
The Arrangement Agreement includes customary non-solicitation provisions, which are subject to the right of the board of directors of the Issuer (the "Issuer Board") to make a change in its recommendation to shareholders in the event any "superior proposal" were to emerge (and subject to the Reporting Person's "right to match").
The parties have the right to terminate the Arrangement Agreement under certain circumstances, including on mutual agreement, if the shareholders of the Issuer do not approve the transaction, or if the transaction is not completed on or prior to the "outside date" of January 2, 2026. If the Arrangement Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, the Reporting Person has agreed to reimburse the Issuer's expenses up to a maximum of US$10 million. In certain other circumstances, including if the Issuer's Board makes a change in recommendation and the transaction is not approved by the Issuer's shareholders, the Issuer will be required to reimburse the Reporting Person expenses up to a maximum amount of US$10 million. No break fees are payable under the Arrangement Agreement.
On September 2, 2025, the Reporting Person and the Issuer issued a joint press release (the "Press Release") announcing the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement. Copies of the Arrangement Agreement, the Voting Agreements and the Press Release are filed as Exhibits 11, 12, 13 and 14, respectively, to the Original Schedule 13D, and incorporated herein by reference.
The purpose of the Arrangement is to enable the Reporting Person to acquire 100% of the Shares not already owned by it. Upon the closing of the Arrangement, the Reporting Person' intention is to cause the Issuer to make an application to delist the Subordinate Voting Shares from the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange, terminate the Issuer's registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and cause the Issuer to make an application for the Issuer to cease to be a reporting issuer in all of the provinces and territories of Canada.
Other than as described in the Original Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person has no plans or proposals of the type referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D that relate to its investment in the Issuer, although it and its affiliates reserve the right to formulate such plans or proposals in the future. If the Arrangement is not consummated, the Reporting Person will continue to regularly review and assess its investment in the Issuer and depending on market conditions, general economic and industry conditions, the Issuer's business and financial condition and/or other relevant factors, the Reporting Person may or may not: (i) purchase or sell Multiple Voting Shares, Subordinate Voting Shares or other securities of the Issuer in the future on the open market or in private transactions, or (ii) determine, from time to time, to engage in any of the events set forth in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Upon completion of the Arrangement, the Shareholders' Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement will be terminated.
The foregoing descriptions of the Arrangement, the Arrangement Agreement, the Voting Agreements and the Press Release do not purport to be complete and they are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits 11, 12, 13 and 14, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference. | ||

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby further supplemented and amended to add the information contained in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 4, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 6 as if fully set forth herein. | ||
