CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Strategic Overview contains forward-looking statements including, without
limitation, statements relating to BCE’s dividend growth objective and 2023
annualized common share dividend and dividend payout ratio level, BCE’s
anticipated capital expenditures, network deployment plans and the benefits
expected to result therefrom, our environmental, social and governance (ESG)
objectives and the benefits expected to result therefrom (which include, without
limitation, our objectives concerning diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging
(DEIB), customer experience, energy savings, reductions in waste sent to
landfill, e-waste recovery, community investment, privacy and information
security, corporate governance and ethical business conduct leadership,
reductions in the level of our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions including, without
limitation, our plans to be carbon neutral for our operational GHG emissions
starting in 2025 and to achieve science-based targets (SBTs) by 2026 or 2030, as
applicable, and our carbon abatement objectives), BCE’s business outlook,
objectives, plans and strategic priorities, and other statements that do not
refer to historical facts. A statement we make is forward-looking when it uses
what we know and expect today to make a statement about the future.
Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words assumption,
goal, guidance, objective, outlook, project, strategy, target and other similar
expressions or future or conditional verbs such as aim, anticipate, believe,
could, expect, intend, may, plan, seek, should, strive and will. All such
forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbour provisions of
applicable Canadian securities laws and of the United States (U.S.) Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Unless otherwise indicated by us, forward-looking statements in this Strategic
Overview describe our expectations as at March 2, 2023 and, accordingly, are
subject to change after that date. Except as may be required by applicable
securities laws, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements, by their very nature, are
subject to inherent risks and uncertainties and are based on several
assumptions, both general and specific, which give rise to the possibility that
actual results or events could differ materially from our expectations expressed
in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements and that our business
outlook, objectives, plans and strategic priorities may not be achieved. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance or events, and we caution
against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are presented in this Strategic Overview for the purpose of assisting
readers in understanding our objectives, strategic priorities and business
outlook as well as our anticipated operating environment. Readers are cautioned,
however, that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

We have made certain economic, market, operational and other assumptions in
preparing the forward-looking statements contained in this Strategic Overview,
which include, without limitation, the assumptions described in the various
subsections of BCE’s 2022 annual Management’s discussion and analysis (BCE 2022
Annual MD&A) entitled Assumptions, which subsections are incorporated by
reference in this cautionary statement. Subject to various factors, we believe
that our assumptions were reasonable at March 2, 2023. If our assumptions turn
out to be inaccurate, actual results or events could be materially different
from what we expect.

Important risk factors that could cause actual results or events to differ
materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the previously-mentioned
forward-looking statements and other forward-looking statements contained in
this Strategic Overview include, but are not limited to, the risks described in
section 9, Business risks of the BCE 2022 Annual MD&A, which section is
incorporated by reference in this cautionary statement.

Forward-looking statements contained in this Strategic Overview for periods
beyond 2023 involve longer-term assumptions and estimates than forward-looking
statements for 2023 and are consequently subject to greater uncertainty. They
assume, unless otherwise indicated, that the relevant assumptions and risks
described in the BCE 2022 Annual MD&A will remain substantially unchanged during
such periods, except for an assumed improvement in the risks related to the
COVID-19 pandemic in future years.

We caution readers that the risk factors described in the previously-mentioned
section and in other sections of the BCE 2022 Annual MD&A are not the only ones
that could affect us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to
us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, financial results or
reputation. We regularly consider potential acquisitions, dispositions, mergers,
business combinations, investments, monetizations, joint ventures and other
transactions, some of which may be significant. Except as otherwise indicated by
us, forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any such
transactions or of special items that may be announced or that may occur after
March 2, 2023. The financial impact of these transactions and special items can
be complex and depends on facts particular to each of them. We therefore cannot
describe the expected impact in a meaningful way, or in the same way we present
known risks affecting our business.

BELL LET’S TALK


LEADING THE WAY IN CANADIAN MENTAL HEALTH

The Bell Let’s Talk mental health initiative launched in 2010 with a focus on
building awareness and action in Canadian mental health, reducing the stigma
around mental illness while improving access to care, research and workplace
mental health. Since then, Canadians and people worldwide have taken the mental
health conversation to remarkable heights each year, driving unprecedented
change in mental health.

In March 2020, Bell announced the extension of Bell Let’s Talk for a further
5 years and an increase in Bell’s total funding commitment for Canadian mental
health to at least $155 million through 2025. The announcement included a
commitment to accelerate the transformation of services for young people and
support national collaboration to improve youth mental health services through
Integrated Youth Services hubs.

Bell Let’s Talk is making a difference through partnerships with more than 1,400
health care and research institutions, governments and community groups
throughout the country. We’re also raising the bar in workplace mental health,
leading by example through the support and adoption of National Standard of
Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace, innovative training
and development programs, and enhanced resources and employee benefits.
