3. THE MEETING

 

The Company's management invites the Oi’s Shareholders to attend the Meeting to deliberate on the following matters:

 

(1)Amendment to article 64 of the Company's Bylaws; and
(2)Reelection of the current members of the Company's Board of Directors for a new term of office until the Annual General Meeting that approves the financial statements for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2020.

 

Before the Meeting is initialed, the Shareholders shall sign the Attendance Book.

 

With respect to item 1, for the Meeting to be convened at first call, the attendance of shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting share capital is required, pursuant to article 135, heading of Law 6.404/1976, with a view to the proposal to amend the Bylaws,

 

However, with respect to item 2, for the Meeting to be convened at first call, the attendance of Shareholders representing at least one-fourth (1/4) of the voting share capital is required, pursuant to article 125 of Law 6.404/1976.

 

If there is not enough quorum for the initiation of the Meeting on first call, the Company will subsequently announce a new date for the holding of the Meeting on the second call, when the Meeting will be initialed with the presence of any number of Shareholders.

 

Once the quorum with respect to any items of the Meeting has been verified, it will be initialed by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors or by whomever he/she indicates at the time of the Meeting or by means of a power of attorney granted in advance with specific powers. If the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, or the person nominated by him/her is absent or prevented to do so, the Meeting shall be initialed and chaired by the Vice-Chairperson of the Board of Directors or by whomever he/she indicates at the time of the Meeting or by means of a proxy granted in advance with specific powers. If the Vice-Chairperson of the Board of Directors, or the person nominated by him/her, is also absent, it will be up to any Director present to initiate and chair the Meeting. The Chairperson of the Board of the Meeting, in turn, shall choose the respective secretary.

 

The holders of the Company's preferred shares shall have the right to vote on the matters to be deliberated at such Meeting, in accordance with the prerogative present in paragraph 3 of article 12 of the Company's Bylaws and paragraph 1 of article 111 of Law No. 6.404/76, and shall always vote together with the holders of Oi's common shares.

 

The deliberations of the Meeting shall be taken by an absolute majority of votes, not counting abstentions, which, however, shall be taken into account for the calculation of the initiation quorum.

 

Considering that (i) the transitional provision contained in the current Article 64 of the Company's Bylaws will expire with the end of the term of office of the members of the New Board of Directors, provided for in Clause 9.3 of the Company's Judicial Reorganization Plan, and (ii) that the Company is going through a relevant and complex period, with the implementation of its Strategic Plan and resolution of an Amendment to the PRJ, the Item (1) above aims at the amendment to article 64 of the Company’s Bylaws, in order to give greater stability to the Company in the coming months and reconcile the directors’ terms of office with the time of holding the Ordinary General Meetings and, at the same time, preserve the rule of Article 22 of the Bylaws, which provides for a single 2-year term of office.

 

However, the purpose of item (2) is to elect the slate of candidates for the Board of Directors composed by the current members of the Company’s Board of Directors, all of them independent, for a new term of office with duration up to the Ordinary General Meeting approving the financial statements referring to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

 

5 
 

As provided in art. 26 of the Bylaws, shareholders are allowed to request the adoption of the multiple voting process, provided that they represent at least 5% of the voting capital of the Company and present such request up to 48 hours before the EGM 2020, pursuant to the Brazilian Corporation Law and of CVM Instruction 165. In the multiple voting process, each share is assigned as many votes as there are positions to be filled in the Board of Directors (11 members), the shareholder being guaranteed the right to cumulate the votes in a single candidate or distribute them between several at your discretion.

 

If the multiple vote is adopted, the Company's management proposes that the votes attributed to each shareholder who votes according to the management's proposal be distributed proportionally, in equal percentages, among the members that make up the list now submitted.

 

Additionally, in the event of the withdrawal or resignation of one or more members of the slate, the Company's management proposes that the votes attributed to each shareholder who votes according to the management's proposal be kept in the rest of the slate or distributed proportionally, in equal percentages, between the other members that remain as candidates. To this end, if necessary, the shareholder who votes in favor of the slate proposal presented by management agrees and authorizes its votes to be distributed among the other candidates indicated on the slate in the form above.

 

Oi recommends its Shareholders to carefully examine the documents made available to them by the Management, in order to deliberate on said matters.

 

The documents and information regarding the matters to be deliberated are available at the Company's headquarters and on Oi’s website (www.oi.com.br/ri), as well as on CVM’s website (www.cvm.gov.br) and B3 website (www.b3.com.br).
