IV. BRATEL BRASIL, in addition to holding interest in the Company, also has a direct ownership in Telemar Participações;
V. On January 25, 2011, the Shareholders executed a shareholders agreement regulating certain aspects of their relationship as shareholders of the Company, as well as the content of the vote to be taken with regard to certain matters that require special quorum at Telemar Participações (the “LF Shareholders Agreement”);
VI. LF TEL signed with AG TELECOM and FUNDACAO ATLANTICO DE SEGURIDADE SOCIAL (“FATL”) a certain shareholders agreement regulating rights and obligations as shareholders of Telemar Participações (the “AG/LF/FATL Shareholders Agreement”) executed on April 25, 2008 and amended on January 25, 2011;
VII. LF TEL and BRATEL BRASIL are also parties to the shareholders agreement with AG TELECOM, FATL, BNDES PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. — BNDESPAR (“BNDESPAR”), CAIXA DE PREVIDENCIA DOS FUNCIONARIOS DO BANCO DO BRASIL — PREVI (“PREVI”), FUNDACAO DOS ECONOMIARIOS FEDERAIS — FUNCEF (“FUNCEF”) and FUNDACAO PETROBRAS DE SEGURIDADE SOCIAL — PETROS (“PETROS”), executed on April 25, 2008 and amended on January 25, 2011, also regulating rights and obligations as shareholders of Telemar Participações (the “General Shareholders Agreement”);
VIII. On this date, a prior meeting was held of the Shareholders of the Company and of the shareholders signatory parties of the LF Shareholders Agreement (as defined below), as well as prior meetings of the shareholders that signed the AG/LF/FATL Shareholders Agreement and of the General Shareholders Agreement approving, by unanimous vote, the consummation of a transaction that will result in the merging of the activities and businesses of PORTUGAL TELECOM SGPS and Oi, into a single company, Telemar Participações (which shall be referred to as “CorpCo”), the shareholding base of which shall be held by the shareholders of Portugal Telecom SGPS, Telemar Participações and Oi, whose capital shall be divided into one class of common shares, which shall be traded on the BM&FBOVESPA SA — Stock, Commodities and Futures Exchange (“BM&FBovespa”), NYSE Euronext Lisbon and the NYSE, and, which, shall adhere to the rules of corporate governance of the Novo Xxxxxxx section of the BM&FBOVESPA (the “Transaction”);

X. The Shareholders mutually agree to make each one of the steps of the Transaction applicable to each other considering that each one of these steps plays a fundamental role and together are important in order for Telemar Participações to achieve the main objectives of the Transaction. The Transaction was structured in this manner since it is the only way to ensure (i) the merger of the activities of Oi with those of Portugal Telecom SGPS; (ii) the strengthening of the capital structure of the surviving company, with the increase of the capital in cash; (iii) the simplifying of Oi’s corporate chain and of its shareholding structure, with the extinction of the shareholder base that participate in the control; (iv) the transfer of all the tax benefits held by the holdings that participate, directly or indirectly, in the control of Oi, without any cost to the minority shareholders; (v) the diffusion of the holdings, with tremendous increase in share liquidity; (vi) the migration to the Novo Xxxxxxx segment of BM&FBovespa. All these acts will allow Oi and CorpCo to be in condition to fully attain their potential and ready to deal with the enormous challenges faced in their industry, from technological, competition and investment standpoints;
XI. The Transaction includes the following events: (i) a capital increase in Oi, by public subscription, with an offering of common and preferred shares, which shall be paid partly in cash and partly in assets represented by the contribution of equity interests owned by Portugal Telecom SGPS in companies that hold all of its operating assets, except for the ownership interest held directly or indirectly in Oi and Contax Participações S.A., and the liabilities of Portugal Telecom SGPS at the date of contribution (the “Capital Increase of Oi”), (ii) the merger of shares of Oi and Telemar Participações, which shall be referred to as “Corpco” with the conversion of Oi into a wholly owned subsidiary of Corpco (the “Merger of Oi Shares by Corpco”); and (iii) the merger of Portugal Telecom SGPS into Corpco, as a result of which Portugal Telecom SGPS will cease to exist (the “Merger of Portugal Telecom into Corpco”);
XII. The Transaction also includes a corporate restructuring in the chain of control of Oi (the “Restructuring of Telemar Participações”), encompassing different corporate steps as follows: (i) the merger of LF TEL by the Company (the “Merger of LF TEL into EDSP 75”), as a result of which LF TEL will cease to exist; (ii) the merger of AG TELECOM into its controlling shareholder PASA (the “Merger of AG TELECOM into PASA”), as a result of which AG TELECOM will cease to exist; (iii) the merger of the Company into BRATEL BRASIL (the “Merger of EDSP75 into BRATEL BRASIL”), as a result of which the Company will cease to exist; (iv) the merger of PASA into BRATEL BRASIL (the “Merger of PASA into BRATEL BRASIL”), as a result of which PASA will cease to exist; (v) the partial split-up of Telemar Participações, covering the investment in Oi proportional to the equity holdings of BRATEL BRASIL by Telemar Participações, with the spun off assets being absorbed by BRATEL BRASIL (the “Partial Split-Up of TELEMAR PARTICIPAÇÕES”); (vi) the partial split-up of BRATEL
BRASIL with the transfer of its remaining ownership interest in the Telemar Participações to Marnaz Holdings S.A. (the “Partial Split-Up of BRATEL BRASIL”); (vii) the merger of BRATEL BRASIL into Oi (the “Merger of BRATEL BRASIL into Oi”), as a result of which BRATEL BRASIL will cease to exist; (viii) the merger of VENUS into Telemar Participações (the “Merger of VENUS into Telemar Participações”), as a result of which VENUS will cease to exist; (ix) the merger of SAYED into Telemar Participações (the “Merger of SAYED into Telemar Participações”), as a result of which SAYED will cease to exist; (x) the merger of PTB2 S.A. into Telemar Participações (the “Merger of PTB2”), as a result of which PTB2 S.A. will cease to exist; and (xi) merger of Marnaz Holdings S.A. into the Telemar Participações (the “Merger of Marnaz”) as a result of which Marnaz Holdings S.A. will cease to exist;
XIII. The implementation of the Restructuring of Telemar Participações is conditioned upon the Capital Increase of Oi being effected, observing the conditions approved in the prior meetings, the settlement of the entire indebtedness of AG TELECOM, LF TEL and Telemar Participações, the Merger of Oi Shares by CorpCo and other conditions precedent that shall be established in the respective agreements to be executed for each one of said transactions;
XIV. The Shareholders wish to amend the LF Shareholders Agreement so as to include special provisions related to the Transaction;
XV. Further, on the date hereof, parties will execute amendments to the PASA Shareholders Agreement, executed between AG S.A. and BRATEL BRASIL, on the same date and under the same terms as those of the LF Shareholders Agreement (the “AG Shareholders Agreement”), the AG/LF/FATL Shareholders Agreement and the General Shareholders Agreement, executed on April 25, 2008 and amended on January 25, 2011 (hereinafter referred to as the “Amendments to the Shareholders Agreements”), containing provisions similar to those herein established.
