Melinda Rogers-Hixon and Martha Rogers exchanged conciliatory words with their brother Edward on Wednesday in a public statement announcing their departures from the Rogers Communications board, wishing the company success. The sisters had fought Edward’s boardroom coup in 2021, a struggle Martha compared to a “Game of Thrones” feud. (The Logic)
Talking point: Edward Rogers remains the company’s chair and Lisa Rogers, the oldest child of late founder Ted Rogers, is also keeping the board seat she took in April 2023. Melinda Rogers-Hixon had been on the family-controlled company’s board since 2002 and was deputy chair; Martha Rogers had been a member since 2008. The two had taken the company to court last fall, alleging they had been denied information they were due as directors.
