    CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shaw Communications Inc. ("Shaw") announced today that it has declared a monthly dividend, suspended its dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") and obtained an extension for the date by which it must hold its annual general meeting.

    Dividend Declaration

    Shaw's Board of Directors has declared monthly dividends of $0.09875 per Class B Non-Voting Participating Share and $0.098542 per Class A Participating Share, payable on March 30, 2023 to holders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2023. These dividends are designated as "eligible" dividends for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any similar provincial legislation.

    Shareholders will not be entitled to receive a particular dividend unless they are holders of record on the applicable record date. There is no entitlement to any dividend prior to such date. If the Effective Date of the Arrangement (each as defined in the Arrangement Agreement dated March 13, 2021, between Shaw and Rogers Communications Inc.) occurs prior to the record date set forth above, no further dividends will be paid.

    Dividend Reinvestment Plan

    Shaw suspended its DRIP effective February 13, 2023. Shaw shareholders who have been participating in the DRIP will receive: (i) each whole Class B Non-Voting Participating Share or Class A Participating Shares to which they were entitled under the DRIP; and (ii) a cash payment for any fractional shares previously held in the DRIP. Any future dividends paid by Shaw will be received by former DRIP participants in cash (together with all other Shaw shareholders).

    Extension of Annual General Meeting

    Shaw received an extension from the Toronto Stock Exchange and an order from the Alberta Court of King's Bench that permits Shaw to hold its 2023 annual general meeting by no later than May 31, 2023. If the Rogers-Shaw merger has not closed by such time, the Company expects to hold its 2023 annual general meeting near the end of May 2023 and will provide a notice of meeting and record date in due course.
