Shares of Rogers Communications Inc. suffered their worst decline since the pandemic market crash of 2020 after a weekend of open hostilities within the Rogers family left it unclear who’s in control of the board.

Canada’s largest wireless firm fell 5.8% to C$56.55 after Edward Rogers, the only son of late founder Ted Rogers, asserted that he’s the chairman and said he’ll try to get a Canadian court to agree that he has the right to choose the 14-person board.
