Dear Sirs,

 

RE.: Information about ENACOM’s Resolution N° 64/16.

 

I am writing to you as Chairman of Telecom Argentina S.A. (‘Telecom Argentina’ or the ‘Company’) following our letter dated October 25, 2014, through which Telecom Argentina informed that Telecom Italia S.p.A (‘Telecom Italia’),the indirect controlling shareholder of Telecom Argentina, had accepted an offer of Fintech Group (‘Fintech’) to amend and restate the original agreement signed on November 13, 2013, regarding the acquisition by Fintech of the total shareholding in Telecom Argentina, that Telecom Italia and its controlled company Telecom Italia International, N.V. had at that time through Sofora Telecomunicaciones SA (‘Sofora’) and Nortel Inversora S.A.

 

On October 15, 2015, we informed that the Argentine Federal Authority for Information Technology and Communications (“AFTIC”) had resolved to refuse the authorization for the transfer to Fintech of the controlling shareholding that Telecom Italia owns in Sofora.

 

On February 17th, 2016 Telecom Argentina was notified about Resolution N° 64/16 issued by the National Authority for Communications (“ENACOM”), which partially accepts the reconsideration appeal submitted, among other parties by the Company, against the above mentioned AFTIC resolution.

 

The resolution N° 64/16 of ENACOM provides that this agency will continue to analyze the transfer transaction of the Sofora shares that belong to Telecom Italia Group to Fintech Group, under the current legal framework, particularly Article 13 of Decree N° 267/15.

 

ENACOM Resolution N° 64/16 is available on http://www.cnv.gob.ar.

 

Sincerely,

 

Telecom Argentina S.A.
 

/s/ Oscar C. Cristianci

Chairman
