NEWS RELEASE
SHAW EXTENDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
TO RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES
Calgary, Alberta (December 16, 2016)
Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw) announced today that its eligible shareholders who are
residents of the United States can now enroll their Class A Participating Shares (Class A Shares) and Class B Non-Voting Participating Shares (Class B Shares) in its dividend reinvestment plan (Plan). Since its launch in 2008 the Plan was
available only to shareholders who were residents of Canada.
The Plan provides a convenient way for Plan participants to reinvest cash
dividends paid on their Class A Shares and/or Class B Shares to purchase additional Class B Shares without brokerage commissions, fees or transaction costs.
On each dividend payment date, cash dividends payable on a participants Class A Shares and/or Class B Shares are paid by Shaw to
CST Trust Company, Shaws registrar and transfer agent which serves as agent under the plan (Plan Agent). The Plan Agent uses those funds (less any withholdings under applicable tax laws) to purchase Class B Shares. At Shaws election, the
Class B Shares purchased by the Plan Agent are either Class B Shares newly issued by Shaw (Treasury) or outstanding Class B Shares purchased through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Shaw currently elects to issue Class B Shares from
Treasury at a 2% discount to the market price set in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Dividends to be reinvested under the Plan for
participants who are not residents of Canada will be subject to withholdings under applicable tax laws and, accordingly, the amount reinvested under the Plan for those participants will be reduced by the amount of such withholdings.
Information on the Plan can be obtained from the Plan Agent by accessing its website at
www.canstockta.com
