Furthermore, these investments represent our high level of confidence in the TELUS International team and their ongoing execution excellence on their strategic growth objectives.”

The Purchased Shares represent approximately 2.12% of the outstanding subordinate voting shares of TELUS International and approximately 0.53% of all outstanding shares. The Purchased Shares were acquired at an average purchase price of C$26.43.

These securities represented approximately 74.78% of the outstanding multiple voting shares and 72.43% of the outstanding voting rights attached to all shares of TELUS International and approximately 56.59% of the total shares outstanding.
