of the Corporation, payable quarterly on the last business day of each of March, June, September and December at an annual rate of

$1.125 per Series A Share, for the initial five-year period ending on June 30, 2016. The dividend rate will be reset on June 30, 2016 and every five years thereafter at a rate equal to
the sum of the five-year Government of Canada bond yield and 2.00%.

On June 30, 2016 and on June 30 of every fifth year
thereafter, the Corporation may, at its option, redeem the Series A Shares in whole or in part by the payment of $25.00 in cash per Series A Share together with all declared and unpaid dividends to but excluding the date fixed for redemption. The
Series A Shares do not have a fixed maturity date and are not redeemable at the option of the holders of the Series A Shares. Holders of Series A Shares will have the right, at their option, to convert all or any of their Series A Shares into Series
B Shares, on the basis of one Series B Share for each Series A Share, subject to certain conditions, on June 30, 2016 and on June 30 of every fifth year thereafter.

Holders of the Series B Shares will be entitled to receive quarterly floating rate cumulative preferred cash dividends, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, payable on the last
business day of each March, June, September and December (each three month period ending on such a day, a Quarterly Floating Rate Period) in the amount per Series B Share determined by multiplying the Floating Quarterly
Dividend Rate for such Quarterly Floating Rate Period by $25.00 and multiplying that product by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in such Quarterly Floating Rate Period and the denominator of which is 365 or
366, depending on the actual number of days in the applicable year, where the Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate for a Quarterly Floating Rate Period equals the sum of 2.00% and the average yield expressed as an
annual rate on three-month Government of Canada treasury bills for the most recent treasury bills auction that precedes by at least 30 days the first day of such Quarterly Floating Rate Period.

On any Series B Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) on and after June 30, 2021, the Corporation may, at its option, redeem the Series B
Shares in whole or in part by the payment of $25.00 in cash per Series B Share together with all declared and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. On any date after June 30, 2016 that is not a Series B Conversion
Date, the Corporation may, at its option, redeem all or any part of the outstanding Series B Shares by the payment of an amount in cash of $25.50 per Series B Share together with all declared and unpaid dividends to but excluding the redemption
date. The Series B Shares do not have a fixed maturity date and are not redeemable at the option of the holders of the Series B Shares.

Holders of Series B Shares will have the right, at their option, on June 30, 2021 and on each June 30 every fifth year thereafter (each
such date a Series B Conversion Date), to convert, subject to certain conditions, all or any of their Series B Shares, into Series A Shares, on the basis of one Series A Share for each Series B Share.

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or any other distribution of assets of the Corporation among its
shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, subject to the prior satisfaction of the claims of all creditors of the Corporation and of holders of shares of the Corporation ranking prior to the Series A Shares and the Series B Shares, the
holders of Series A Shares and Series B Shares will be entitled to payment of $25.00 per share, and all accrued and unpaid dividends up to, but excluding, the date fixed for payment or distribution, before any amount may be paid or any assets of the
Corporation are distributed to the registered holders of any shares ranking junior to the Series A Shares and the

Series B Shares. After payment of such amounts, the holders of Series A Shares and Series B Shares will not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

Subject to applicable law, holders of the Series A Shares and Series B Shares will not be entitled to receive notice of, attend, or vote
at any meeting of shareholders of the Corporation. In the event that, at any time, the Corporation has failed to pay eight quarterly dividends on the Series A Shares or the Series B Shares, which, at such time, have not been paid in full, whether or
not such dividends are consecutive and whether or not such dividends have been declared, the Corporation shall take all necessary steps to nominate for election to the Board of Directors one independent candidate proposed by the holders of the
Series A Shares, the Series B Shares and the holders of any other preferred shares in the capital of the Corporation in whose favour any right to nominate upon failure of the Corporation to pay dividends is then in force, all of such holders to be
considered one class for the purpose of proposing such candidate. Such candidate shall be nominated for election at the next scheduled annual shareholders meeting following the Corporations failure to pay such dividends, such election to
be pursuant to the vote of all shareholders eligible to vote in respect thereof in accordance with the articles and by-laws of the Corporation. Until all such dividends are paid in full, such a nominee shall be nominated for election at each annual
shareholders meeting. When such dividends are paid in full, this right shall be extinguished and the nominee shall immediately resign. This right shall become effective again at such time as the Corporation may again so fail to pay dividends.



|(d) | Share Constraints
|--- | -----------------

The statutes which govern the provision of broadcasting and telecommunications services by Shaw and its regulated subsidiaries impose restrictions on the ownership of shares of the Corporation and its regulated
subsidiaries by persons that are not Canadian. In order to ensure that the Corporation and its regulated subsidiaries remain eligible or qualified to provide broadcasting and telecommunications services in Canada, the articles of the Corporation
require its directors to refuse to issue or register the transfer of any Class A Shares to a person that is not a Canadian if such issue or transfer would result in the total number of such shares held by non-Canadians exceeding the maximum
number permitted by applicable law. In addition, the directors of Shaw are required to refuse to issue or register the transfer of any Class A Shares to a person in circumstances where such issue or transfer would affect the ability of the
Corporation and its regulated subsidiaries to obtain, maintain, amend or renew a license to carry on any business. The articles of the Corporation further provide that if, for whatever reason, the number of Class A Shares held by non-Canadians
or other such persons exceeds the maximum number permitted by applicable law or would affect the ability to carry on any licensed business, Shaw may, to the extent permitted by corporate or communications statutes, sell the Class A Shares held
by such non-Canadians or other persons as if it were the owner of such shares. The articles of the Corporation also give its directors the right to refuse to issue or register the transfer of shares of any class in the capital of the Corporation if
(i) the issue or the transfer requires the prior approval of a regulatory authority unless and until such approval has been obtained; or (ii) the person to whom the shares are to be issued or transferred has not provided Shaw with such
information as the directors may request for the purposes of administering these share constraints.

|(a) | Dividend Policy

In accordance with the terms and conditions of such shares, for each Dividend Period the aggregate of the

|3. | Ratings
|-- | -------

The following information relating to the Corporations credit and preferred share ratings is provided as it relates to the Corporations financing costs, liquidity and operations. Specifically, credit
ratings affect the Corporations ability to obtain short-term and long term financing and the cost of such financing. Additionally, the ability of the Corporation to engage in certain business activities on a cost effective basis may depend on
these ratings. A reduction in the current ratings, particularly a downgrade below investment grade ratings or a negative change in the Corporations ratings outlook, could adversely affect the Corporations cost of financing and its access
to sources of liquidity and capital. In addition, changes in these ratings may affect the Corporations ability to, and the associated costs of, entering into and maintaining ordinary course contracts with customers or suppliers on acceptable
terms.

The following table sets forth the ratings assigned to the Corporations senior note obligations by DBRS Limited
(DBRS), Standard & Poors, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. (S&P) and Moodys Investors Services, Inc. (Moodys).



|             |  |         |              |  |        |  |              |            |  |  |               |

|Security     |  | DBRS(1) |              |  | S&P(2) |  |              | Moodys(3) | 
|Senior Notes |  |         | BBB (stable) |  |        |  | BBB-(stable) |            |  |  | Baa3 (stable) | 

Notes:

|(1) | DBRS credit ratings are on a long-term debt rating scale that ranges from AAA to D, which represents the range from highest to lowest quality of such
securities rated. A rating of BBB by DBRS is the fourth highest of ten categories and is assigned to debt securities considered to be of adequate credit quality. Protection of interest and principal is considered acceptable, but the entity is fairly
susceptible to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions, or there may be other adverse conditions present which reduce the strength of the entity and its rated securities. The assignment of a (high) or (low)
modifier within certain rating categories indicates relative standing within such category. The absence of either a high or low designation indicates the rating is in the middle of the category.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | S&Ps credit ratings are on a long-term debt rating scale that ranges from AAA to D, which represents the range from highest to lowest quality of
such securities rated. A rating of BBB by S&P is the fourth highest of ten major categories. According to the S&P rating system, an obligor with debt securities rated BBB has adequate capacity to meet its financial commitments. However,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitments. The addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) designation after a rating indicates the relative
standing within a particular rating category.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Moodys credit ratings are on a long-term debt rating scale that ranges from Aaa to C, which represents the range from highest to lowest quality of such
securities rated. A rating of Baa by Moodys is the fourth highest of nine categories and denotes obligations judged to have speculative elements and which are subject to substantial credit risk. The addition of a 1, 2 or 3 modifier after a
rating indicates the relative standing within a particular rating category. The modifier 1 indicates that the issue ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category, the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking and the modifier 3 indicates
that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic rating category.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following table sets forth the ratings
assigned to the Series A Shares by DBRS and S&P.



|                |  |         |                |  |        |  |              |

|Series A Shares |  |         | Pfd-3 (stable) |  |        |  | P-3 (stable) | 

Notes:

|(1) | DBRS ratings for preferred shares range from a high of Pfd-1 to a low of D. A Pfd-3 rating by DBRS is the third highest of six categories granted by DBRS.
According to the DBRS rating system, securities

| | rated Pfd-3 are of adequate credit quality. While protection of dividends and principal is still considered acceptable, the issuing entity is more susceptible to adverse changes in financial and
economic conditions, and there may be other adverse conditions present which detract from debt protection. High or low grades are used to indicate the relative standing within a rating category. The absence of either a
high or low designation indicates the rating is in the middle of the category.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | S&Ps ratings for preferred shares range from a high of P-1 to a low of D. A P-3 rating by S&P is the third highest of eight categories granted
by S&P. According to the S&P rating system, while securities rated P-3 are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, they are less vulnerable to non-payment than other speculative issues, however face major ongoing
uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligors inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. The ratings from P-1 to P-5 may be modified by
high and low grades which indicate relative standing within the major rating categories. The absence of either a high or low designation indicates the rating is in the middle of the category.

Ratings accorded by a rating agency are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the relevant securities inasmuch
as such ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. There is no assurance that any rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that any rating will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by a
rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant and if any such rating is so revised or withdrawn, the Corporation is under no obligation to update this Annual Information Form. The lowering of any rating may negatively
affect the quoted market price, if any, of the relevant securities.

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements included in this Annual Information Form that are not historic constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
applicable securities laws. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future capital expenditures, financial guidance for future performance, business strategies and measures to implement strategies, competitive strengths,
expansion and growth of Shaws business and operations and other goals and plans. They can generally be identified by words such as anticipate, believe, expect, plan, intend,
target, goal and similar expressions (although not all forward-looking statements contain such words). All of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by Shaw in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends,
current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances as of the current date. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, general economic and industry growth rates,
currency exchange rates, technology deployment, content and equipment costs, industry structure and stability, government regulation and the integration of recent acquisitions. Many of these assumptions are confidential.

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Many factors, including those not within Shaws control, may cause
Shaws actual results to be materially different from the views expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, general economic, market or business conditions; opportunities that may be presented to and
pursued by Shaw; Shaws ability to execute its strategic plans; changing conditions in the entertainment, information and communications industries; industry trends; changes in the competitive environment in the markets in which Shaw operates
and from the development of new markets for emerging technologies; changes in laws, regulations and decisions by regulators that affect Shaw or the markets in which it operates in both Canada and the United States; Shaws status as a holding
company with separate operating subsidiaries; and other factors described in our 2011 Annual MD&A under the heading Known events, trends, risks and uncertainties. The foregoing is not an exhaustive list of all possible factors.
Should one or more of these risks materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein.

The Corporation provides certain financial guidance for future performance as the Corporation believes that certain investors, analysts and others
utilize this and other forward-looking information in order to assess the Corporations expected operational and financial performance and as an indicator of its ability to service debt and return cash to shareholders. The Corporations
financial guidance may not be appropriate for this or other purposes.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which
it was originally made and, except as required by law, Shaw expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in related assumptions, events, conditions
or circumstances.

The Committee will fulfill these

To maintain their independence, members of the Committee and their immediate family members may not, directly or indirectly, accept any consulting,

All members of the Committee shall be financially literate and at least one member shall be a financial expert. The definitions of financial
literacy and financial expertise, and the determination of whether any given member of the Committee meets such definition, will be made by the Board, in consultation with the Corporate Governance Committee, in accordance with
applicable laws, policies and guidelines of securities regulatory authorities.

The members of the Committee shall be appointed by the
Board annually. Each member shall serve until the next annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation or until his or her earlier resignation or removal by the Board. The Chair of the Committee shall be appointed by the Board annually
and shall carry out the responsibilities and duties set forth in Section V of this Charter.



|III. | MEETINGS

The Committee shall meet at least on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as circumstances dictate or as requested by the Board, a member of the Committee, the Corporations external auditors or a senior
officer of the Corporation.

The Committee shall also meet at least annually with the Corporations senior management (the Chief
Financial Officer or others), internal auditors and external auditors in separate sessions to discuss any matters that the Committee or any of these groups believe should be discussed privately. In addition, the Committee (or at least its Chair)
