CALGARY, ALBERTA — (Marketwired) — 11/03/15 — Shaw Communications Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX: SJR.B)(NYSE: SJR) has been advised that JR Shaw and members of his family and corporations and trusts which they collectively own or control (collectively, the “Shaw Family Group”) have completed an internal reorganization of their holdings of Class A Voting Participating Shares and Class B Non-Voting Participating Shares of the Company (the “Reorganization”) as part of ongoing estate planning for JR Shaw and his family.
