MONTRÉAL, May 19, 2022
/PRNewswire/ - Bell Canada (Bell)
today announced the filing of a prospectus supplement to a short
form base shelf prospectus dated March 7,
2022 with the various securities regulatory authorities in
all provinces of Canada to renew Bell's MTN program.
The MTN program will enable Bell to offer MTN Debentures from
time to time until April 7, 2024. The
MTN Debentures will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by BCE
Inc. (TSX, NYSE: BCE). Consistent with past practice, the MTN
program was renewed to continue to provide Bell with financial
flexibility and efficient access to the Canadian capital
markets.
Bell also entered into a dealer agreement under which certain
dealers have agreed to act as agents with respect to future
offerings of the MTN Debentures.
This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be
any sale of these securities, in any jurisdiction in which such
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction. Any offer of securities covered by the prospectus
supplement will be made by a pricing supplement containing specific
information about the terms of any such offering. The MTN
Debentures have not been, and will not be, registered under the
U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (U.S. Securities Act), or
any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in
the United States or to or for the
account or benefit of U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S
under the U.S. Securities Act).
