5.               Analysis of the following aspects of the operation:

 

a.               Description of the main expected benefits, including:

 

i.Synergies

 

The intended corporate restructuring aims to provide greater efficiency and simplification of the TIM Group's organizational structure, through the integration of administrative and financial units, allowing the concentration and reduction of operating costs and other expenses, such as audit expenses, external consultants and control structures and approval levels, as well as the optimization of the tax burden.

 

ii.Tax benefits

 

In addition to the synergies and administrative and managerial optimizations that will be provided, the implementation of the corporate reorganization will also bring: (i) the optimization of the tax burden, in relation to PIS and COFINS, since there will no longer be double taxation that, currently , falls on the flow of Interest on Equity payments between TIM Group companies, and there is now a single distribution stage, in which the aforementioned amounts will be paid directly by TIM SA in favor of its shareholders; and (ii) reduction of IRPJ and CSLL due, due to corporate expenses currently incurred by TIM Participações that will be consolidated in TSA.

 

iii.Strategic advantages

 

The merger will also provide the TIM Group with numerous benefits of a non-tax nature, such as: (i) centralization and optimization of accounting, tax, financial, commercial and human resources activities; (ii) consolidation of contracts for the provision of external audit and consulting services; (iii) reduction of compliance expenses, resulting from the elaboration of accessory obligations required by law and the maintenance of regular commercial bookkeeping; and (iv) simplification of administrative activities (preparation of management reports, unification of payment processes to suppliers, availability management, board meetings, etc.).

 

b.Costs

 

The costs to operate the corporate reorganization, totaling approximately R$ 12.1 million, are related to legal, accounting and tax advisory fees; expenses arising from the listing process at B3 and the New York Stock Exchange - NYSE; and contractual expenses (financial and lease contracts).

 

 

 

 

 

 

c.Risk factors

 

As this is the merger of the parent company (TPAR) into its wholly-owned operating subsidiary (TSA), the mergers do not imply additional risks to its operations, its shareholders or other stakeholders.

 

d.               As this is the merger of the parent company (TPAR) into its wholly-owned operating subsidiary (TSA), the mergers do not imply additional risks to its operations, its shareholders or other stakeholders

 

In the understanding of TPAR's management, considering, in short, that (i) the Merged Company is the Merging Company's sole shareholder; (ii) the objective of the operation is to rationalize and simplify the TIM Group's corporate structure in Brazil; (iii) with the merger of the Merged Company, tax savings will be experienced, as well as a reduction in combined operating costs and better use of the resources of the companies involved, which would not be possible in another operation; and (iv) the economic, tax, operational and organizational advantages would not be achieved through any other operation authorized by Brazilian law; TPAR management understands that there are no structural alternatives that result in obtaining the same advantages to be obtained with the Merger.

 

e.Replacement ratio

 

The ratio of replacement of TPAR shares by TSA shares will be in the proportion of 1:1.

 

f.                In transactions involving parent companies, subsidiaries or companies under common control

 

i.Stock exchange ratio calculated in accordance with art. 264 of Law No. 6,404, of 1976

 

In compliance with the provisions of Art. 264, Paragraph 3, of Law 6,404 / 76, the replacement ratio calculated based on the comparison of the Companies' net assets at market prices is 0.175 (zero point one seven five) of share issued by TSA for each 1 (one) share issued by TPAR.

 

Bearing in mind that the Merging Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Merged Company, the substitution ratio adopted in the Merger, whatever it may be, would result in the same economic and political effect for TPAR's shareholders, and it is not possible to speak of an exchange relationship more or less advantageous. Without prejudice, the Replacement Ratio proposed to TPAR shareholders gives TPAR shareholders a greater number of TSA shares than would be attributed to them based on a comparison of TPAR and TSA's net assets at market prices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore, pursuant to Paragraph 3 of Article 264 of Law No. 6,404 / 76, shareholders dissenting from the deliberation of the Extraordinary General Meeting of TPAR that approves the Merger proposal will not have the option of exercising the right to withdraw based on the equity value equity at market prices of its shares, being entitled only to the repayment of its shares at the book value of TPAR.

 

ii.Detailed description of the negotiation process for the replacement relationship and other terms and conditions of the transaction

 

The Exchange Ratio was determined based on the premise that, as TPAR is the sole shareholder of TSA, once the Merger is implemented, the current shareholders of TPAR should now hold in TSA the same number of shares and the same shareholding that they are now holders of TPAR, without their rights being negatively affected by the Merger

 

iii.If the transaction has been preceded, in the last 12 (twelve) months, by an acquisition of control or acquisition of interest in a control block:
·Comparative analysis of the replacement ratio and the price paid for the acquisition of control
·Reasons that justify any differences in valuation in the different operations

 

Not applicable.

 

iv.Justification of why the substitution relation is commutative, with a description of the procedures and criteria adopted to guarantee the commutability of the operation or, if the substitution relation is not commutative, details of the payment or equivalent measures adopted to ensure adequate compensation.

 

The Exchange Ratio was determined based on the premise that, since TIM Participações is the sole shareholder of TSA, once the Merger is implemented, the current shareholders of TIM Participações shall now hold in TSA the same number of shares and the same shareholding that they currently hold in TIM Participações, without their rights being negatively affected by the Merger.

4.2.          Impacts on the Surviving Company due to the Merger and Share Capital Increase. Subject to the fulfillment of the Condition Suspensive, the Merger, if approved, will result in: (i) the cancellation of all shares issued by TSA, which are held by TIM Participações; and (ii) the increase of TSA's net assets by BRL 353,705,408.69 (three hundred and fifty three million, seven hundred and five thousand, four hundred and eight Brazilian reais and sixty nine cents), resulting in: (ii)(a) an increase in share capital of TSA in the amount of BRL 1,718,742.68 (one million, seven hundred and eighteen thousand, seven hundred and forty-two Brazilian Reais and sixty-eight cents); and (ii)(b) BRL 351,986,666.01 (three hundred and fifty-one million, nine hundred and eighty-six thousand, six hundred and sixty-six Brazilian Reais and one cent) being allocated to the capital reserve of TSA.

 

4.3.          Issuance of New Shares and Exchange Ratio.

million, four hundred and forty thousand, and nineteen) common shares by TSA, all nominative, book-entry and with no par value.

 

4.3.1.             The Exchange Ratio was determined based on the principle that, as TIM Participações is the sole shareholder of TSA, once the Merger is completed, the existing shareholders of TIM Participações will hold the same number of shares and equity interest in TSA as they hold today in TIM Participações, without having their rights materially affected by the Merger.

 

4.3.2.             The new shares to be issued by the Surviving Company shall grant the same rights to their holders, as those granted by the shares of the Merged Company.

4.5.          Change in the Number of Shares to be Issued.

4.6.          Assets Variations. The variations in the assets of the Merged Company occurred after the Base Date shall be transferred, absorbed, and incorporated into the operational result of the Merged Company.

 

4.7.          U.S. federal tax treatment. The Parties agree that (i) it is intended that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the

 

 

 

 

CONT. PROTOCOLO E JUSTIFICAÇÃO DA INCORPORAÇÃO DA TIM PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. PELA TIM S.A.

29 de julho de 2020 

 

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) this Protocol is intended to be and constitutes a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Section 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

V.LISTING ON THE NOVO MERCADO AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE SURVIVING COMPANY

 

5.1.           Listing on the Novo Mercado. The Merger shall require TSA to be listed on the special corporate governance segment of B3 called Novo Mercado, pursuant to article 46 of the Novo Mercado regulations. To this end, TIM Participações, as the sole shareholder of TSA, approved on the date hereof the listing of TSA on the Novo Mercado, at a TSA’s Extraordinary Shareholders’ General Meeting, with such listing’s effectiveness being conditioned to the effectiveness of the Merger.

 

5.2.           No Further Amendments to the Bylaws. The Merger will not result in any other amendment to the Bylaws of the Surviving Company, except as those provided for in Item 4.4 above. TIM Participações, as the sole shareholder of TSA, approved, on the date hereof, at an Extraordinary Shareholders General Meeting, the amendment and consolidation of the TSA’s Bylaws, substantially reflecting the same provisions of the Bylaws of TIM Participações, provided, however, that the effectiveness of certain provisions of the TSA’s Bylaws are conditioned on the fulfillment of the Condition Suspensive.

 

5.3.           Corporate Governance. Once the Merger is completed, TSA shall have the same corporate and administrative structure as the Merged Company, reflecting the entire corporate governance of TIM Participações, with the same management, corporate bodies, internal regulations, policies, areas of operation, in compliance with all the requirements and adjustments that may be required by the Novo Mercado segment of the B3.

 

VI.DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS’ RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

 

6.1.          Merged Company’s Dissenters’ Right of Withdrawal. Pursuant to article 137 of the Brazilian Corporation Law, withdrawal rights may be exercised by the Merged Company’s shareholders that (i) oppose or abstain from the Merger resolution, or do not attend the Extraordinary General Shareholder’s Meeting, and (ii) explicitly state their intention to exercise withdrawal rights within the due period, considering that

 

 

 

 

CONT. PROTOCOLO E JUSTIFICAÇÃO DA INCORPORAÇÃO DA TIM PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. PELA TIM S.A.

29 de julho de 2020 

 

the shares issued by the Merged Company do not qualify for the exception provided for in item II of the above mentioned legal provision. The compensation related to the right of withdrawal shall only be owed to those shareholders who are provenly shareholders of the Merged Company on the date of disclosure of the material fact informing about the Merger (i.e. July 29, 2020), considering the trading on the stock exchange on such date, included. Withdrawal rights may not be exercised in regard to the shares that were acquired after such date, under the terms of paragraph 1 of article 137 of the Brazilian Corporation Law.

 

6.1.1.In order to exercise their withdrawal rights, shareholders must necessarily exercise such right in respect of all common shares, subject to the provisions of Item 6.1 above.

 

6.1.2.The shareholder must explicitly state his intention to exercise his withdrawal rights within thirty (30) days from the publication of the minutes of the Extraordinary Shareholders' General Meeting of the Merged Company approving the Merger ("Withdrawal Period").

 

6.2.          Reimbursement Value. Pursuant to article 45 of the Brazilian Corporation Law and article 10, sole paragraph, of the Bylaws of TIM Participações, shareholders who exercise their right to withdraw shall be entitled to receive as reimbursement for their shares in the amount of BRL 9.33 (nine Brazilian reais and thirty-three cents) per share, equivalent to the book value of the net assets of TIM Participações’ shares, in accordance with the financial statements that were used as the basis for the preparation of the Book Value Valuation Report.

 

6.2.1.In compliance with the provisions of Article 264, paragraph 3 of the Brazilian Corporation Law, the exchange ratio calculated based on the comparison of the net assets at market value of the Companies is of 0.175 (zero point one, seven, five) shares issued by TSA for each one (1) share issued by TIM Participações.

 

6.2.2.Considering that the Surviving Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Merged Company, any Exchange Ratio that was adopted in the Merger would result in the same economic and political impact for the shareholders of TIM Participações, in such a way that is not possible to consider an exchange ratio more or less advantageous to TIM Participações’ shareholders. Nonetheless, the Exchange Ratio proposed to the shareholders of TIM Participações, pursuant to Item 4.3 above, grants the shareholders of TIM Participações a greater number of TSA’s shares than the number that would have been granted based on the comparison of the net assets of TIM Participações and TSA at market value. Therefore, pursuant to paragraph 3 of article 264 of the Brazilian Corporation Law, shareholders who dissent from the resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting of TIM Participações that approves the proposed Merger will not have the option to exercise their withdrawal rights based on their shares’ net assets at market value, and will only be entitled to a compensation at the book value of their shares, as indicated above.

6.3.          Payout of Reimbursement. The payment of the amount of the reimbursement for the shares is subject to the conclusion of the Merger, after the Condition Suspensive have been fulfilled, pursuant to article 230 of the Corporation Law.

 

6.4.          Absence of Rights of Withdrawal for the Surviving Company’s Shareholders. The Merger will not grant rights of withdrawal to the Surviving Company's shareholders.
