News Release
August 3, 2007
TELUS renewing Shelf Prospectus
Vancouver, B.C. – TELUS Corporation intends to file today a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus with securities regulators in Canada and the United States. When final, this will enable TELUS to sell up to Cdn$3 billion of debt, equity and/or warrants should the Company decide to issue such securities at any time during the next two years. The shelf prospectus to be filed today will replace an existing Cdn$3 billion shelf prospectus that expires on September 24, 2007. TELUS has no immediate intention to offer securities pursuant to the shelf prospectus.
The preliminary shelf prospectus and shelf-registration statement to be filed today have not yet become effective. No securities may be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time a receipt for the final prospectus or other authorization is obtained from the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and, for the filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the registration statement becomes effective. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This news release is being issued in accordance with Rule 135 of the Securities Act of 1933.
This news release contains statements about expected future events of TELUS that are forward-looking. By their nature, forward-looking statements require the Company to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. There is significant risk that the forward-looking statements will not prove to be accurate. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of factors could cause actual events to differ materially from that expressed in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly this news release is subject to the disclaimer and qualified by the assumptions, qualifications and risk factors referred to in the Management’s discussion and analysis – August 1, 2007.
