MATERIAL CONTRACTS
As at December 31, 2012, TCI continues to be a party to a three year agreement (expiry
August 1, 2014) with an arm’s-length securitization trust associated with a major Schedule I
bank, under which TCI is able to sell an interest in certain of its trade receivables up to a
maximum of $500 million. TCI is required to maintain at least a BBB (low) credit rating by
DBRS Ltd. or the securitization trust may require the sale program to be wound down. The
necessary credit rating was exceeded as of March 15, 2013.
On November 3, 2011 TELUS entered into a replacement five year $2 billion unsecured
credit facility (the “2011 Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of 15 financial institutions. The
2011 Credit Facility replaces TELUS’ previous $2 billion facility which would have
matured in May 2012. The 2011 Credit Facility may be used for general corporate
purposes including the backstop of commercial paper. The material terms of the 2011
Credit Facility are substantively the same as TELUS’ previous credit facility other than
pricing and an extension of the term to November 2016.
