CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The disclosure provided in Management’s Discussion and Analysis under the heading Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures on page 77 of Exhibit 99.2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis, is incorporated by reference herein.
AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
The Board of Directors of Rogers Communications Inc. has determined that the Company has at least one “audit committee financial expert” (as defined in paragraph 8(b) of General Instruction B of Form 40-F) serving on its Audit and Risk Committee. The audit committee financial expert is Ellis Jacob. Mr. Jacob was appointed to the Audit and Risk Committee on April 22, 2020.

Mr. Jacob has been determined by the Board to be an independent director as such term is defined under the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 52-110 (Audit Committees), which is the Canadian corporate governance rule that applies to the Company, and under the standards of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange relating to the independence of audit committee members. The Board’s designation of Mr. Jacob as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on him any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on him as a member of the Audit and Risk Committee and Board of Directors in the absence of such designation or identification. In addition, the designation of Mr. Jacob as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit and Risk Committee or Board of Directors. See also Item 17 - Audit and Risk Committee on page 28 of the Company’s Annual Information Form, attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

During 2020 and until his resignation on January 28, 2021, John H. Clappison was a member of the Audit and Risk Committee and was also determined by the Board to be an audit committee financial expert. Mr. Clappison had been determined by the Board to be an independent director as such term is defined under the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 52-110 (Audit Committees). Under the standards of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange relating to the independence of audit committee members Mr. Clappison was deemed to be a non-independent director as his son-in-law is a partner at KPMG LLP, the auditors of the Company. Mr. Clappison’s son-in-law had no involvement in the audit of the Company. Under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), such relationship does not impair the independence of KPMG LLP.
CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT POLICY
The Company has adopted a Directors Code of Conduct and Ethics that applies to all directors and Business Conduct Policy that apply to all directors, officers (including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer), and employees (the Codes).
