FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in the Offer and Circular under “Background to the Offer”, “Purpose of the Offer and
Plans for Emergis”, and “Acquisition of Shares Not Deposited”, in addition to certain statements contained
elsewhere in the Offer and Circular, are forward-looking statements and are prospective in nature. By their nature,
forward-looking statements require the Offeror and TELUS to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks
and uncertainties. These statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking works such as “may”,
“should”, “will”, “could”, “intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “except”, “believe”, or “continue’’ or the
negative thereof or similar variations. There is significant risk that predictions, assumptions and other forwardlooking
statements will not prove to be accurate. Shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements as a number of factors could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events
to differ materially from financial and operating targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the
forward-looking statements. The Offeror and TELUS have made certain assumptions about the Canadian
economy, the healthcare industry and the market for electronic health care solutions and has also assumed that
there will be no significant events occurring outside of TELUS’ and Emergis’ normal course of business. Factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially include but are not limited to: satisfaction of the conditions of the
Offer; valid acceptance of the Offer by holders of 662 ⁄3% of the Shares not being obtained; approvals or clearances
required to be obtained by TELUS and Emergis from regulatory and other agencies and bodies not being obtained
in a timely manner or at all; anticipated benefits, efficiencies and cost savings from the business combination or
related divestitures not being fully realized; costs or difficulties related to the integration of Emergis’ and TELUS’
operations being greater than expected; business and economic conditions in the principal markets for the
companies’ products; competition; economic growth and fluctuations; capital expenditure levels; financing and
debt requirements; tax matters; human resource developments; technology; regulatory developments; process
risks (including internal reorganizations and integrations); health, safety and environmental developments;
litigation and legal matters; business continuity events (including manmade and natural threats); any prospective
acquisitions or divestitures; and other risk factors listed from time to time in TELUS’ public disclosure documents
including its annual report, annual information form, and other filings with securities commissions in Canada (on
SEDAR at www.sedar.com) and filings in the United States including Form 40-F (on EDGAR at www.sec.gov). The
Offeror and TELUS disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
