holders of the Class 1 Preferred Shares of such series to require the redemption thereof), conversion rights (if any) and any redemption fund, purchase fund or other provisions to be attached to the Class 1 Preferred Shares of such series.

The shares of each successive series of Class 1 Preferred Shares shall have preference over the Class A Shares and Class B
Non-Voting Shares as to dividends of not less than 1/100th of a cent per share, and shall not confer upon the shares of one series a priority over the shares of any other series of the Class 1 Preferred Shares in respect of voting, dividends or

shares of any other series of Class 2 Preferred Shares in respect of voting, dividends or return of capital. If any amount of cumulative dividends or any amount payable on return of capital in respect of shares of a series of Class 2 Preferred
Shares is not paid in full, the shares of such series shall participate rateably with the shares of all other series of the Class 2 Preferred Shares in respect of accumulated dividends and return of capital.

Holders of the Series A Shares are entitled to receive fixed cumulative preferential cash dividends, as and when declared by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation, payable quarterly on the last day of each of March, June, September and December (or if such date is not a business day, the next succeeding business day) 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 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.

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

|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.

November 29, 2012



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.



|                |  |         |                |  |        |  |              |

|Security        |  | DBRS(1) |                |  | S&P(2) | 
|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.

The Corporation made payments to each of DBRS,
S&P and Moodys in connection with obtaining the above ratings and over the past two years has made payments in respect of certain other services provided to the Corporation by each of S&P and Moodys. Over the past two years the
Corporation has not made any other payments to DBRS.

Audit Committee is required to report any such services approved by him to the Audit Committee.

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 conditions, interest and
exchange rates, technology deployment, content and equipment costs, industry structure, conditions 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 and business
conditions; changes in the competitive environment in the markets in which Shaw operates and from the development of new markets for emerging technologies; industry trends and other changing conditions in the entertainment, information and
communications industries; Shaws ability to execute its strategic plans; opportunities that may be presented to and pursued by Shaw; changes in laws, regulations and decisions by regulators that affect Shaw or the markets in which it operates;
Shaws status as a holding company with separate operating subsidiaries; and other factors described in the Corporations 2012 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.
