“ Rogers has long benefited from strong, independent voices and Directors in the
boardroom and sound governance structures, which ensure that their influence is real.
The structure of our Board is very much intended to ensure that the Directors and
management act in the interests of all Rogers shareholders – an approach that has helped
ensure the continuance of strong, independent, family-founded Canadian companies.”

LEAD DIRECTOR

“ Over the years, the Canadian economy has benefited greatly from family-founded and
controlled companies that are able to take a longer-term view of investment horizons
and general business management. At Rogers, we have successfully overlaid disciplined
corporate governance processes that strike a healthy balance of being supportive of the
company’s continued success, making business sense, and benefiting all shareholders.”
