Edward Rogers can replace independent directors at Rogers Communications, B.C. Supreme Court judge rules

TELECOM REPORTER

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled that Edward Rogers can replace five of the independent directors of Rogers Communications Inc. without holding a shareholder meeting, giving Mr. Rogers full control of Canada’s largest wireless carrier.

The decision comes after weeks of intense conflict that erupted after Mr. Rogers attempted to unseat CEO Joe Natale. Mr. Rogers, who is the chair of the family trust that controls the Toronto-based telecom, was subsequently ousted as the chair of the company’s board.

The legal drama, which is playing out in the middle of the telecom’s $26-billion takeover of Shaw Communications Inc., has drawn hundreds of pages of court documents that contain conflicting views on everything from Mr. Natale’s performance to how the wishes of the company’s late founder, Ted Rogers, should be interpreted.

The decision handed down by Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick on Friday means that Mr. Rogers’s move to replace five of the company’s independent directors with his own slate of candidates through what’s known as a shareholder resolution is valid.
