**TELUS Friendly Future Foundation Gala raises record $3M to transform lives of <br> underserved youth across Canada with Lionel Richie headlining event**

*The funds raised will fuel the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation's goal of providing more than 500 bursaries and 500 charitable grants this year, in support of thousands of young Canadians facing financial, social and educational barriers*

**Toronto, ON** — The TELUS Friendly Future Foundation's <u>Together for Tomorrow Gala</u> raised a record-breaking $3M on June 18, creating new opportunities for underserved youth across Canada through post-secondary bursaries and community programs designed to help them thrive. More than 800 guests gathered for an evening of entertainment and impact, highlighted by an exclusive headline performance by four-time Grammy award winner Lionel Richie. The event was held at the iconic TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning in Toronto and also welcomed TELUS Student Bursary recipients and grant beneficiaries as honoured guests.

Presented by TELUS, the gala brought together hundreds of leaders from Canada's business, philanthropic, technology, and arts communities. The evening's generous support will fund the TELUS Student Bursary program and TELUS Community Board Grants, supporting thousands of young Canadians through bursaries, mentorship opportunities and community-based programs that help remove barriers to education, employment and well-being.

The evening builds on the recent announcement of TELUS President and Chief Executive Officer Darren Entwistle and Fiona Entwistle's <u>landmark $1 million personal donation</u> to the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation. This transformative gift officially launched the Entwistle Technology Bursary, designed to open doors for youth in financial need pursuing post-secondary education in science, math, and technology who are committed to making a positive difference in their communities. The generous donation has inspired further community support, as evidenced by the exceptional fundraising results from last Thursday's gala.

"When we bring together passionate supporters, business leaders, philanthropists and community partners who are all dedicated to empowering young Canadians to reach their full potential, we are investing in the innovators and changemakers of tomorrow," said Darren Entwistle, President and CEO, TELUS. "The generosity demonstrated tonight will help remove barriers and create pathways to education for Canada's next generation of leaders who exemplify a passion for social purpose in their communities! The Together for Tomorrow Gala, and the $3 million raised by generous supporters, is a testament to our belief that *doing well* in business and *doing good* in our communities are mutually inclusive. Together, we are helping to ensure young people are able to achieve their dreams of a post-secondary education and an opportunity to help shape the future of our communities, our country and our world."

"Our third annual gala united Canadians from coast to coast who believe in the power of investing in youth," said Nimmi Kanji, Executive Director, TELUS Friendly Future Foundation. "The funds raised at the gala will directly support our mission to remove barriers and ensure that every young person in Canada, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to reach their full potential. From affordability pressures, mental health challenges and other barriers to accessing education and employment, too many young Canadians face obstacles that can limit their potential. The support generated through our gala will help ensure those barriers do not define their future. This evening demonstrates Canada's unwavering commitment to unlocking their potential."

"Canadians came together to raise a record amount for youth at a time when affordability, mental health and educational barriers are making it harder than ever for young people to succeed," said Juggy Sihota, Chair, TELUS Friendly Future Foundation. "I'm deeply inspired by the support and participation from our business leaders, philanthropists and community partners who believe that investing in youth is investing in Canada's future. The money raised at the gala will create lasting pathways for underserved young Canadians to break down barriers of entry, pursue their dreams and become the changemakers our country needs."

Building on the success of the first two galas, this year's third annual event brings the three-year total to over $8.1M. This achievement reinforces the Foundation's position as Canada's preeminent corporate foundation dedicated to youth empowerment. Since inception, the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation and TELUS Community Boards across Canada have provided $140 million to support youth. In 2025 alone, the Foundation exceeded $10 million in awarded TELUS Student Bursaries and Community Board grants.

Since 2000, TELUS and its team members have contributed more than $1.85 billion in cash, in-kind contributions, time and programs and volunteered 2.5 million days to support communities around the world.

The Foundation extends sincere gratitude to presenting sponsor TELUS, and all donors, sponsors and partners who made this remarkable event possible, including:

● Luminary Sponsor: Darren & Fiona Entwistle

● Trailblazer Sponsor: RBC Capital Markets

● Innovator Sponsors: AECON, Asurion, Amazon, BGIS, CIBC, Garofalo Family Foundation, Google Cloud, Ledcor, National Bank, Samsung, The&Partnership, TD Securities, WestJet

**A sustainable legacy through TELUS Shares**

Following the May 4 <u>announcement</u> of a landmark $1 million personal donation from Darren and Fiona Entwistle, TELUS Corporation ("TELUS") and the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation are providing further details regarding the long-term investment strategy for the gift. The TELUS Friendly Future Foundation intends to sell donated securities it has received from Darren and Fiona Entwistle and use the resulting proceeds - as well as an additional cash donation - to purchase common shares of TELUS ("TELUS Shares") as part of its investment strategy, in keeping with the request from Mr. Entwistle. The TELUS Friendly Future Foundation also intends to use the dividends generated from these shares as a source of funding for the newly created Entwistle Technology Bursary.

**Acquisition of TELUS Shares**

The TELUS Friendly Future Foundation intends to purchase TELUS Shares with an aggregate value of approximately $1,050,000 CAD through purchases on the New York Stock Exchange, in compliance with applicable U.S. securities laws. The number of TELUS Shares is not known at this time. The number of TELUS Shares actually acquired will depend on the net proceeds obtained from the sale of donated securities, the prevailing market price of the TELUS Shares and applicable foreign exchange rates at the time purchases are made. Purchases are expected to commence after June 29. The purchases are being made solely to fulfill Mr. Entwistle's request to establish a long-term restricted fund for the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation's charitable purposes. As a result of the relationship between the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation and TELUS, the purchases represent an indirect issuer bid and will be made in reliance on an exemption from the formal requirements applicable to issuer bids under applicable Canadian securities laws.
