Rogers’s Bid for Chair Is ‘Unconscionable,’ Sister’s Lawyer Says

Edward Rogers’ attempt to name himself chairman of Rogers Communications Inc. and replace five of its board members is “unconscionable,” the lawyer representing his sister said.

“I think the concept of a single shareholder being able to replace all the independent directors of one of the largest public companies in the country by a stroke of a pen is unconscionable. I find it quite regrettable,” the lawyer, Walied Soliman of Norton Rose Fulbright, told BNN Bloomberg television on Monday.
