the Securities Act. The offering will be made on a private placement basis to accredited investors in one or more
provinces of Canada pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian securities

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this press release may constitute forward-looking
information within the meaning of securities laws. Forward-looking information may relate to Cogeco Cable’s future
outlook and anticipated events, business, operations, financial performance, financial condition or results and, in
some cases, can be identified by terminology such as "may"; "will"; "should"; "expect"; "plan"; "anticipate"; "believe";
"intend"; "estimate"; "predict"; "potential"; "continue"; "foresee", "ensure" or other similar expressions concerning
matters that are not historical facts. In addition, statements regarding Cogeco Cable’s future operating results and
economic performance and its objectives and strategies are forward-looking statements. These statements are based
on certain factors and assumptions including expected growth, results of operations, performance and business
prospects and opportunities, which Cogeco Cable believes are reasonable as of the current date. While management
2
considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to Cogeco Cable, they may
prove to be incorrect. Cogeco Cable cautions the reader that the economic downturn experienced over the past few
years makes forward-looking information and the underlying assumptions subject to greater uncertainty and that,
consequently, they may not materialize, or the results may significantly differ from Cogeco Cable’s expectations. It is
impossible for Cogeco Cable to predict with certainty the impact that the current economic uncertainties may have on
future results. Forward-looking information is also subject to certain factors, including risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from what Cogeco Cable currently expects. These factors include
technological changes, changes in market and competition, governmental or regulatory developments, general
economic conditions, the development of new products and services, the enhancement of existing products and
services, and the introduction of competing products having technological or other advantages, many of which are
beyond Cogeco Cable’s control. Therefore, future events and results may vary significantly from what management
currently foresee. For more exhaustive information on these risks and uncertainties, the reader should refer to the risk
factors described in the management's discussion and analysis of Cogeco Cable for the year ended August 31, 2012
and management's discussion and analysis of Cogeco Cable for the six months ended February 28, 2013. The
reader should not place undue importance on forward-looking information and should not rely upon this information
as of any other date. While management may elect to, Cogeco Cable is under no obligation, and does not undertake
to, update or alter this information at any particular time, except as may be required by law.
