The New York-based hedge fund eventually dropped its court challenge of the plan.

Telus common shares will trade under the symbol TU on the NYSE starting Monday.

The company says it expects non-voting shares to be delisted in Toronto and to start trading as common shares under the T symbol “on or about” Feb. 11.

Mason had argued the voting shares should have been given a higher value than non-voting shares.

At one time, the hedge fund was the largest shareholder in Telus, but has since reduced its stake.
