Turmoil has gripped the company for weeks since Edward Rogers made a push to fire Chief Executive Officer Joe Natale. The plan failed when other directors, including two sisters and his mother, blocked it. Ever since then, it’s been constant conflict inside the Rogers family, disrupting the company as it works toward getting regulatory approval for a proposed $16 billion takeover of rival Shaw Communications Inc.
Rogers Communications said in a statement Friday that Edward Rogers’s attempt to replace the five independent directors is “invalid” and the 14-person board hasn’t changed. MacDonald said in a separate statement on Saturday that Edward Rogers plans to hold a “purported board meeting” with his new slate of directors but that the meeting is “not valid”.
