MONTRÉAL, June 3, 2026 /CNW/ – Bell Canada (“Bell” or the “Company”) today announced the pricing terms of its previously announced separate offers (the “Offers”) to purchase for cash up to the Maximum Purchase Amount (as defined below) of its outstanding notes of the series listed in the table below (collectively, the “Notes”).

The Offers are made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated May 27, 2026 relating to the Notes (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the notice of guaranteed delivery attached as Appendix A thereto (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Tender Offer Documents”). The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal, interest and other obligations by BCE Inc. (“BCE”), Bell’s parent company. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this news release have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

Set forth in the table below is the applicable Total Consideration (as defined below) for each series of Notes, as calculated as of 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) today, June 3, 2026, in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.

The Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on June 3, 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended with respect to such Offer, the “Expiration Date”). Notes validly tendered for purchase may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on June 3, 2026 (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended with respect to such Offer, the “Withdrawal Date”), but not thereafter, unless extended by the Company with respect to any Offer.

For Holders who deliver a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and all other required documentation at or prior to the Expiration Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Tender Offer Documents, the deadline to validly tender Notes using the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) will be the second business day after the Expiration Date and is expected to be 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on June 5, 2026, unless extended with respect to any Offer (the “Guaranteed Delivery Date”).

Provided that all conditions to the Offers have been satisfied or waived by the Company by the Expiration Date (or the Initial Settlement Date in the case of the Financing Condition), the Company will settle all Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Withdrawal Date and accepted for purchase by the Company in such Offers on (i) the second business day after the Expiration Date, which is expected to be June 5, 2026, with respect to any Notes validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date, unless extended with respect to any Offer (the “Initial Settlement Date”) and/or (ii) the second business day after the Guaranteed Delivery Date, which is expected to be June 9, 2026, with respect to any Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Guaranteed Delivery Date using the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures (as defined below), unless extended by the Company with respect to any Offer (the “Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date”). Each of the Initial Settlement Date and the Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date is herein referred to as a “Settlement Date” and collectively as the “Settlement Dates.”

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Offers will receive the applicable Total Consideration for each US$1,000 principal amount of such Notes in cash on the applicable Settlement Date.

In addition to the applicable Total Consideration, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase by the Company will receive a cash payment equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from and including the immediately preceding interest payment date for such Notes to, but excluding, the Initial Settlement Date (the “Accrued Coupon Payment”). Interest will cease to accrue on the Initial Settlement Date for all Notes accepted in the Offers. Under no circumstances will any interest be payable because of any delay in the transmission of funds to Holders by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its participants.

The Offers are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase, including that the aggregate principal amount purchased in the Offers not exceed US$1,150 million (the “Maximum Purchase Amount”), on the Maximum Purchase Amount being sufficient to include the aggregate principal amount of all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes of such series (after accounting for all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes that have a higher Acceptance Priority Level) (the “Maximum Purchase Condition”), and on the Company satisfying the Financing Condition. The Company expects the Financing Condition to be satisfied on or prior to the Initial Settlement Date upon the closing of its previously announced concurrent offerings of Cdn.$1.6 billion aggregate principal amount of MTN Debentures and US$650 million aggregate principal amount of U.S. senior notes.

The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to waive any and all conditions to any Offer. If any of the conditions is not satisfied, the Company is not obligated to accept for payment, purchase or pay for, and may delay the acceptance for payment of, any tendered Notes, in each event subject to applicable laws, and may terminate or alter any or all of the Offers. The Offers are not conditioned on the tender of any aggregate minimum principal amount of Notes of any series (subject to minimum denomination requirements as set forth in the Offer to Purchase).

The Company has retained BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC to act as lead dealer managers and Barclays Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., CIBC World Markets Corp., Desjardins Securities Inc., Mizuho Securities USA LLC, National Bank of Canada Financial Inc., Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. and TD Securities (USA) LLC to act as co-dealer managers (collectively, the “Dealer Managers”) for the Offers.

First-of-its-kind activation showcases how emerging drone technology is reshaping sponsorship opportunities in sports and entertainment

AUGUSTA, N.J., June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Sussex County Miners and Skylands Stadium are proud to announce a new partnership with Alpha Drones USA to introduce an innovative aerial advertising technology to the sports and entertainment industry.

On Saturday, May 30, the Miners became the first professional baseball organization to utilize Drone Aerial Advertising Screens (DAAS) during a live professional baseball game, debuting the technology in front of fans at Skylands Stadium during the team’s matchup against the Brockton Rox.

The groundbreaking system features high-definition digital advertising screens flown by industrial drones, creating vibrant, illuminated 3D-style brand displays throughout the game experience. The technology, operated by Alpha Drones USA, represents one of the newest innovations in experiential marketing and live-event sponsorship activation.

“This is exactly the kind of forward-thinking entertainment and fan experience we want to bring to Sussex County,” said Vincent Sangemino, General Manager of the Sussex County Miners. “We are constantly looking for ways to create a ballpark atmosphere unlike anything fans have seen before, while also delivering new and impactful opportunities for our sponsors. What Alpha Drones USA has created is truly something people stop and stare at.”

Throughout the evening, the drones conducted multiple flights displaying sponsor messaging and advertisements in a dynamic airborne format visible throughout the stadium. Unlike traditional static signage, the aerial screens brought sponsor content directly into the live game presentation, creating a unique visual experience for attendees.

Based out of Morristown Municipal Airport with hub locations throughout the nation, Alpha Drones USA is emerging as one of the nation’s leading drone service providers, offering a wide range of commercial drone solutions, including aerial advertising, exterior cleaning, inspections, public safety support, agricultural services, drone light shows, and more.

“Partnering with the Sussex County Miners provided the perfect opportunity to showcase the future of live-event advertising in a professional sports setting,” said Kelvin King, Founder and CEO of Alpha Drones USA. “The atmosphere at Skylands Stadium and the organization’s willingness to innovate made this an incredible first deployment for professional baseball.”

The Miners have continued to position Skylands Stadium as one of the most innovative entertainment venues in the region, incorporating drone shows, immersive fan experiences, alternate identities, interactive promotions, and emerging technologies into the game-day experience.

About the Sussex County Miners and Skylands Stadium

Founded in 2015, the Sussex County Miners are one of New Jersey’s winningest professional baseball teams and proud members of the Frontier League and the MLB Professional Partner League. The Miners were the 2025 Frontier League Atlantic Conference East Division champions.
