TELUS announced it has priced $1.8 billion of senior unsecured notes in three series, the first with a 4-year and 10-month maturity, the second with a 7-year maturity and the third with a 10-year maturity. The notes are offered through a syndicate of agents led by CIBC World Markets Inc, RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and Scotia Capital Inc. Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about February 15, 2024. The 4.80% notes, Series CAO, were priced at $99.895 per $100 principal amount for an effective yield of 4.826% per annum until maturity, and will mature on December 15, 2028.

The 4.95% notes, Series CAP, were priced at $99.707 per $100 principal amount for an effective yield of 5.000% per annum until maturity, and will mature on February 18, 2031. The 5.10% Sustainability-Linked notes, Series CAN (the "Series CAN Notes"), were priced at $99.644 per $100 principal amount for an effective yield of 5.146% per annum until maturity, subject to a possible interest rate step-up, and will mature on February 15, 2034. The net proceeds of this offering will be used for the repayment of outstanding indebtedness, including all or a portion of the repayment upon maturity of TELUS' 3.35% Series CK Notes due April 2024, as well as the repayment of a portion of commercial paper (incurred for general working capital purposes) and/or the repayment of a portion of TELUS' $1.1 billion unsecured Credit Facility with a term expiring July 2024, and for other general corporate purposes.

The Series CAN notes are "Sustainability-Linked Bonds" issued pursuant to TELUS' Sustainability-Linked Bond Framework announced on June 14, 2021, as it may be amended, restated and/or replaced from time to time (the "Framework") and will be TELUS' sixth bond offering under the Framework. As part of the Framework, TELUS has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions by 46% from 2019 levels by 2030. Should TELUS fail to achieve this target by December 31, 2030, the interest payable on the Series CAN Notes will increase by 0.50% per annum, as will be further detailed in the prospectus supplement that TELUS will be filing to its short form base shelf prospectus dated August 8, 2022 with securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada.

The interest payable on the Series CAN Notes may also increase in certain circumstances if TELUS fails to meet additional sustainability and/or environmental, social or governance ("ESG") targets as provided for in a future "Sustainability-Linked Bond" (a "Future SLB") issued by TELUS pursuant to the Framework. The interest rate on the Series CAN Notes, however, can in no event exceed the initial rate of 5.10% by more than 1.00% per annum in the aggregate, whether as a result of the failure to achieve the Sustainability Performance Target and/or any targets under one or more Future SLBs. The Series CAN Note offering supports TELUS' commitment to environmental sustainability by linking financing to the achievement of ambitious ESG targets.

The target set out in the Framework was approved by the Science Based Targets initiative ("SBTi"), further demonstrating TELUS' global sustainability leadership and support of the world's fight against climate change. The Sustainability Performance Target is consistent with reductions required to limit warming to below 1.5°C, which at the time of publication of the Framework, was considered the most ambitious designation available through the SBTi process. TELUS will report annually on its performance against the Sustainability Performance Target and will also obtain an annual independent and external verification of its performance against the Sustainability Performance Target in the form of a limited assurance report.

TELUS' performance as well as the limited assurance report will be included in its annual Sustainability and ESG Report, or other similar report(s) as the case may be, and will be available on TELUS' website. Sustainalytics, a leading independent ESG research, ratings and analytics firm, issued a Second Party Opinion in June 2021 (as subsequently extended) confirming that the Framework aligns with the International Capital Market Association's Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles, 2020.
