(the “Merger of AG TELECOM into PASA”), as a result of which AG TELECOM will cease to exist; (ii) the merger of LF TEL into its controlling shareholder EDSP 75 Participações S.A. (“EDSP 75”) (the “Merger of LF TEL into EDSP 75”), as a result of which LF TEL will cease to exist; (iii) the merger of PASA into BRATEL BRASIL (the “Merger of PASA into BRATEL BRASIL”), as a result of which PASA will cease to exist; (iv) the merger of EDSP 75 into BRATEL BRASIL (the “Merger of EDSP 75 into BRATEL BRASIL”), as a result of which EDSP 75 will cease to exist; (v) the partial split-up of the Company, covering the investment in Oi proportional to the equity holdings of BRATEL BRASIL in the Company, 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 Company 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 RJ Participações S.A. into Telemar Participações (the “Merger of VENUS into Telemar Participações”), as a result of which Venus RJ Participações S.A. will cease to exist; (ix) the merger of Xxxxx XX Participações S.A. 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; |
X. | 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 the Company, 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; |
XI. | The Shareholders wish to amend the AG/LF/FATL Shareholders Agreement so as to include special provisions related to the Transaction; |
