He added that Rogers plans to use the $7 billion received from the unidentified investor to pay down a “corresponding amount” of debt. Rogers, which also divested its stake in Cogeco in December 2023 for $829 million, is “showing a very dedicated, driven intent to de-lever and continue to invest and grow,” Brandt said.
“We will likely see other deals in Canada from other companies going in the same direction in order to de-lever the balance sheets and transform the business toward a much more focused retail operation that is less prone to impacts from regulators.”
