As part of the reorganization of TmarPart, the Global Shareholders’ Agreement, the Control Group Shareholders’ Agreement, the PASA Shareholders’ Agreement and the EDSP75 Shareholders’ Agreement were amended on February 19, 2014 by the shareholders parties thereto to provide that the parties agree to exercise their voting rights to approve each step of the Business Combination.

In case the Business Combination is not completed by December 31, 2014, (1) any of the shareholders parties to the PASA Shareholders’ Agreement and the EDSP75 Shareholders’ Agreement may send a notification of non-occurrence of the reorganization and require the adoption of the necessary measures in order for Bratel, PTB2 S.A.

And, as “First Intervening Party”,

 

  4. TELEMAR PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A., a share corporation with head offices at Praia de Botafogo No. 300, 11th floor, suite 1101 (part), City and State of Rio de Janeiro, enrolled as taxpayer at CNPJ/MF under No. 02.107.946/0001-87, herein represented in accordance with its By-Laws, hereinafter referred to as “Telemar Participações” or the “Company”;

WHEREAS:

 

  I. AG TELECOM, LF TEL and FATL are shareholders of the Company;

 

  II. The Company is the controlling shareholder of Oi S.A., a share corporation, with head offices in the City and State of Rio de Janeiro, at Rua do Lavradio No. 71, 2nd floor, Centro, enrolled as taxpayer under CNPJ/MF No. 76.535.64/0001-43 (“Oi”);

 

  III. On April 25, 2008, the Shareholders executed a shareholders agreement regulating certain aspects of their relationship as shareholders of the Company, which was subsequently amended on January 25, 2011 (the “AG/LF/FATL Shareholders Agreement”);


  IV. AG TELECOM, LF TEL and FATL are also parties to a shareholders agreement with BRATEL BRASIL S.A. (“BRATEL BRASIL”), 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 the Company (the “General Shareholders Agreement”);

 

  V. On this date, prior meetings were held of the shareholders parties to 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 S.A., a publicly held corporation, with head offices at Av. Fontes Pereira de Melo no. 40, in the city of Lisbon, Portugal, Legal Entity Registration No. 503 215 058 (“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 Mercado section of the BM&FBOVESPA (the “Transaction”);

 

  VI. The consummation of the Transaction is conditioned upon certain steps contemplated in the prior meetings being implemented after the necessary authorizations are obtained, including corporate and regulatory approvals;

 

  VII. 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 holdings 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 shareholder base, with tremendous increase in share liquidity; (vi) the migration to the Novo Mercado 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;


  VIII. 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 (theCapital Increase of Oi”), (ii) the merger of shares of Oi and the Company, 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”);

 

  IX. 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 AG TELECOM into its controlling shareholder Pasa Participações S.A.

CLAUSE ONEINCLUSION OF CLAUSE XXV

 

1.1. The Parties resolve to include Clause XXV in the General Shareholders Agreement, establishing special provisions related to the Transaction, worded as follows:

“CLAUSE XXV

SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION OF MERGING THE ACTIVITIES OF OI AND OF PORTUGAL TELECOM SGPS

25.1 The Shareholders undertake the firm, irrevocable and irreversible commitment of exercising their respective voting rights in the Company, as well as having their representatives in the Board of Directors of the Company and of the Relevant Subsidiaries and of Oi – who shall be considered a Relevant Subsidiary for all purposes of the General Shareholders Agreement, irrespective of the ownership percentage that the Company has in the capital stock of Oi— exercise their respective voting rights, so as to approve the Transaction that will unify the activities and businesses carried out by Oi and by Portugal Telecom SGPS, particularly in Brazil, Portugal and Africa, in the exact terms set forth at the Preliminary General Meeting held on this date of February 19, 2014.

25.1.1 Until the consummation of the Transaction, and irrespective of the shareholding percentage that each Shareholder has in the Company throughout the steps of the Transaction, for purposes of the exercise of the voting rights provided in the General Shareholders Agreement, each one of the Shareholders shall be ascribed the number of votes it held on the date of execution of this 2nd Amendment, observing the special quorums provided in the General Shareholders Agreement in accordance with the shareholding percentage held by each one of the Shareholders on the date hereof.

25.2 In the event judicial, administrative or arbitration decisions are rendered, even if provisional, which prevent the implementation of any of the steps of the Transaction, or in any other manner affect or restrict the effects thereof, the Shareholders undertake the firm, irrevocable and irreversible commitment of exercising their respective voting rights so as to have the Company and/or the Relevant Subsidiaries adopt all measures necessary for implementing the Transaction, assisting in an active, efficient and timely manner so that the Company and/or Relevant Subsidiaries eliminate, as soon as possible, the effects of said judicial, administrative or arbitration measure(s).

 

6


25.3 The Shareholders also undertake the firm, irrevocable and irreversible commitment of exercising their respective voting rights in the Company, as well as having their representatives in the Board of Directors of the Company and of the Relevant Subsidiaries exercise their respective voting rights, so as to maintain the normal course of business of the Company and of the Relevant Subsidiaries, refrain from taking any measure or performing any act that could impair or otherwise adversely affect the consummation of the Transaction.

25.4 The Shareholders acknowledge and agree that all steps of the Restructuring of Telemar Participações as described in the Recital VIII of the 2nd Amendment to Telemar Participações Shareholders Agreement, and the Merger of Oi Shares by Corpco are tied to each other and must be implemented simultaneously. Accordingly, the Shareholders agree that the implementation and efficiency of each one of the steps of the Restructuring of Telemar Participações and the Merger of Oi Shares by Corpco are conditioned to the actual approval and implementation of one another.

25.5 Should the Capital Increase of Oi be effected and any of the subsequent steps of the Transaction, i.e. the Restructuring of Telemar Participações and the Merger of Oi Shares by Corpco, not be concluded by December 31, 2104 (the “Cut-off Date”), the Shareholders shall use their best efforts to implement the restructuring of Telemar Participações and of Oi to achieve the same objectives of the Transaction, although they will be released from the obligation of implementing the Restructuring of Telemar Participações, the Merger of Oi Shares by Corpco and the Merger of Portugal Telecom into Corpco, as approved in the Preliminary General Meeting held on February 19, 2014.

25.6 Upon occurrence of the event provided in Clause 25.5, the special quorums provided in the General Shareholders Agreement shall be adjusted to take into account the shareholding percentage the Shareholders BNDESPAR, PREVI, PETROS and FUNCEF had on the Cut-Off Date, so that such Shareholders have the same political rights as they had on the date of execution of this 2nd Amendment, provided that they have not reduced their respective ownership interests by the Cut-Off Date, as a result of selling their Affected Shares to third parties who are not original parties to the General Shareholders Agreement, or their Related Parties, with the Shareholders undertaking at the outset to sign an amendment to the General Shareholders Agreement on the Cut-Off Date so as to reflect the provisions of this Clause 25.6. For the avoidance of doubt, there will be no adjustment to the percentages of the special quorums of the General Shareholders Meeting as a result of sales or reduction of the equity interest of the Shareholders BNDESPAR, PREVI, PETROS and FUNCEF carried out or having taken place after the Cut-Off Date.

25.7 The Shareholders and the Company declare they are aware of the contents of the Temporary Voting Agreement of the Shareholders of Oi S.A. and of Telemar Participações S.A. (to be referred to as “ CorpCo”) signed between Caravelas Fundo de Investimento em Ações, Portugal Telecom SGPS S.A., Bratel Brasil S.A., Telemar Participações S.A., Andrade Gutierrez S.A. and Jereissati Telecom S.A., with the effectiveness conditioned to the implementation of the Capital Increase of Oi and, such document being filed at the head offices of Oi and recorded in the respective share ownership registries”.

  VI. AG TELECOM signed with LF TEL and FUNDACAO ATLANTICO DE SEGURIDADE SOCIAL (“FATL”) a 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;

  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 AG TELECOM into the Company (“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 the Company into BRATEL BRASIL (the “Merger of PASA into BRATEL BRASIL”), as a result of which the Company 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 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 AG Shareholders Agreement so as to include special provisions related to the Transaction;

 

  XV. Further, on the date hereof, parties will execute amendments to the EDSP75 Shareholders Agreement, executed between JEREISSATI TELECOM and BRATEL BRASIL, on the same date and under the same terms as those of the AG Shareholders Agreement (the “ LF 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.
