This filing was made to renew Bell's Medium Term Notes (MTN) program and will enable Bell to offer up to $3 billion of MTN Debentures from time to time over a 25-month period. The MTN Debentures will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Bell's parent, BCE Inc. Consistent with past practice, the MTN program was renewed so as to continue to provide Bell with financial flexibility and efficient access to Canadian capital markets.
Bell also entered into a dealer agreement with certain dealers under which the dealers have agreed to act as agents, principals or underwriters with respect to the future offering of the MTN Debentures.
