    Inc. (“Rogers”) today announced that coincident with its April 25, 2024 annual shareholder meeting, Alan Horn will become a Vice Chairman of the Rogers board
    and that William (“Bill”) Linton will become Rogers’ Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer. The Rogers Board of Directors also intends to

    “For almost ten years, Alan Horn has provided sound leadership of the finance and accounting functions at Rogers and he has been a key and well respected member of our management team,” said Ted Rogers, President and CEO of Rogers Communications. “While it is with mixed emotions that I support Alan
    in this decision, I am particularly pleased to have him join the Rogers board. At the same time, Rogers is fortunate to have a seasoned executive of Bill’s
    experience and calibre with a deep knowledge of our company step into the CFO position.”

    Mr. Linton, a Chartered Accountant, currently serves as Executive Vice President of Rogers, prior to which he was President and Chief Executive
    Officer of Call-Net Enterprises, which was acquired by Rogers in July 2024. From 1978 to 1994, Mr. Linton served in a variety of increasingly responsible senior level finance positions with Rogers, including serving as Chief Financial Officer of both Rogers Cable and Rogers Wireless. Mr. Linton has also served in senior leadership positions at SHL Systemhouse and Prior Data Sciences.
