The Toronto Stock Exchange reports that BCE Inc.'s cumulative redeemable first preferred shares, Series AN (symbol BCE.PR.N), will be halted at the open and delisted at the close on March 31, 2026. According to the TSX, all issued and outstanding Series AN preferred shares will be converted, on a one-for-one basis, into cumulative redeemable first preferred shares, Series AM, of the company (symbol BCE.PR.M) on March 31, 2026, following the conversion period, which commenced on March 2, 2026, and ended at 5 p.m. Montreal time (5 p.m. Toronto time) on March 16, 2026.

In accordance with the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Series AN preferred shares and the Series AM preferred shares, since there will be fewer than one million Series AN preferred shares outstanding on March 31, 2026, after having taken into account the Series AN preferred shares tendered for conversion into Series AM preferred shares and the Series AM preferred shares tendered for conversion into Series AN preferred shares during the conversion period, all Series AN preferred shares will be automatically converted into Series AM preferred shares on March 31, 2026, and the symbol BCE.PR.N will be delisted.

As the Series AM preferred shares and Series AN preferred shares are held through the book-entry-only system of CDS, and no individual certificates are issued, holders of Series AM preferred shares and Series AN preferred shares need not take any action with respect to the conversion.
