1.  GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Oi S.A. – under Judicial Reorganization (“Company” or “Oi”), is a Switched Fixed-line Telephony Services (“STFC”) concessionaire, operating since July 1998 in Region II of the General Concession Plan (“PGO”), which covers the Brazilian states of Acre, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Tocantins, Goiás, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, and the Federal District, in the provision of STFC as a local and intraregional long-distance carrier. The Company also provides domestic and international long-distance services in all Regions under concessions granted by Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações - ANATEL (National Telecommunications Agency), the regulator of the Brazilian telecommunications industry (“ANATEL” or “Agency”).

 

The Company is headquartered in Brazil, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, at Rua do Lavradio, 71 – 2º andar.

 

The Company also holds: (i) through its wholly-owned subsidiary Telemar Norte Leste S.A. – under Judicial Reorganization (“Telemar”) a concession to provide fixed telephone services in Region I and nationwide International Long-distance services; and (ii) through its indirect subsidiary Oi Móvel S.A. – under Judicial Reorganization (“Oi Móvel”) a license to provide mobile telephony services in Region I, II and III.

 

In Africa, the Company provides fixed and mobile telecommunications services through own subsidiaries and the subsidiaries of Africatel Holdings B.V. (“Africatel”), and in Asia the Company provides fixed, mobile, and other telecommunications services basically related through its subsidiary Timor Telecom (Note 31).

 

The Company is registered with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Its shares are traded on B3 S.A. – Brasil, Stock Exchange, OTC (“B3”) and its American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) representing Oi common shares and preferred shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

 

Concession agreements

 

The local and nationwide STFC long-distance concession agreements entered into by the Company and its subsidiary Telemar with ANATEL are effective until December 31, 2025. These concession agreements provide for reviews on a five-year basis and in general have a higher degree of intervention in the management of the business than the licenses to provide private services. At the end of 2018, ANATEL published Public Hearing No. 51/2018 to address the revision of the Concession Agreements for the concession’s last five-year period (2021-2025) and the new General Universal Service Targets Plan (PGMU V).

 

The contribution period to the Public Hearing ended on March 26, 2019 and after being processed by ANATEL, it was approved under Decision 619/2020, PGMU amendment proposal, sent to the Ministry of Communications (Official Letter 478/2020/GPR-ANATEL, of Dec 1, 2020), in addition to the new wording of the Concession Agreements (Resolution 737/2020).

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

In December 2020, Oi filed a Cancellation Request against Ruling No. 619/2020 and Resolution No. 737/2020, which jointly approved the PGMU V proposal and the draft Concession Agreements for the Switched Fixed-line Telephony Service (“STFC”) for 2021-2025, as stated in case file No. 53500.040174/2018-78.

 

On January 28, 2021, the Government enacted Decree 10610/2021, which repeals Decree 9619/2018 and approves the PGMU V, applicable to 2021-2025. Among the provisions of the new PGMU we highlight the introduction of the backhaul obligation, under which carriers may use the balance resulting from the changes in targets of the previous PGMU. The PGMU V also provides for the end of the obligation to build fixed wireless new access facilities required by PGMU VI and the infrastructure already in place shall be maintained until the end of the concession.

 

It is worth noting that Law 13879/2019 opens the legal possibility of changing the provision of STFC services from public utility regime to the private law regime at the time the radiofrequency permits, telecommunications service concessions, and satellite exploitation rights are extended. On June 17, 2020, the authorities enacted Decree 10402, which regulates Law 13879/2019 and sets the deadline for ANATEL to issue the rules that will govern changing from concessions to permits.

 

As a result, ANATEL issued Resolution 741/2021, which approves the Regulation for the Adaptation of the Concessions of the Fixed Commuted Telephone Service (STFC) as Authorizations of the same service. This regulation sets the rules for the migration from the concession regime to an authorization regime, pending, however, the definition of the Migration Balance Calculation Methodology and its quantification, on a case-by-case basis, by concessionaire (the work is being conducted by a consulting firm engaged by ANATEL/UIT and is expected to be approved by the Agency’s Board of Directors by the end of the first half of 2021).

 

On December 30, 2020, Oi filed a Request for Arbitration Proceedings with ANATEL for the discussion of issues regarding our Concession Agreements. This request is currently under review by ANATEL.

 

With the approval of the Judicial Reorganization Plan (“JRP”, “Plan” or “Original Plan”), ANATEL initiated some procedures aiming at monitoring the Company’s financial situation, as well as to assess its Company’s ability to discharge its obligations arising from the terms of the concession agreements. In March 2019, ANATEL decided, among other issues, to maintain the special monitoring of the provision of telecommunications services of the Oi Group companies in 2019 by imposing actions related to transparency, corporate governance, and corporate control, financial and operating performance, and asset and credit management, as informed in the Notice to the Market disclosed by the Company on May 8, 2019.

 

On February 10, 2020, as reported in the Notice to the Market released by the Company, ANATEL’s Board of Directors concluded there was no longer the need for special monitoring based on the decision issued in May 2019 as it considers that the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ short-term liquidity risk has been extinguished and revoked the obligations previously imposed on the Oi Group companies.

On December 19, 2017, after confirming that the required quorum of classes I, II, III, and IV creditors was in attendance, the General Creditors’ Meeting was held and the Oi Companies’ JRP was approved by a vast majority of creditors on December 20, 2017.

of New York Mellon, as depositary of the Preferred ADS program, received transferable rights for each common share or preferred share held as of November 19, 2018, which refers to as subscription rights.

The subscription rights expired on January 4, 2019. On January 16, 2019, the Company issued 1,530,457,356 common shares to holders of subscription rights that had exercised those subscription rights with respect to the initial common shares. On January 21, 2019, the Company issued 91,080,933 common shares to holders of subscription rights that had requested subscriptions for excess common shares. The proceeds of these subscriptions totaled R$2,011 million.

On January 25, 2019, the Company issued 1,604,268,162 common shares, representing the total number of common shares that were offered in the preemptive offering less the total number of initial common shares and excess common shares, to the Backstop Investors in a private placement under the terms of the commitment agreement for the aggregate amount of R$1,989 million (“Share Balance”). Because of the subscription and payment of the Share Balance, the Company completed, on this date, the Capital Increase – New Funds, through the subscription and payment of all 3,225,806,451 New Common Shares issued as part of the Capital Increase – New Funds, representing a contribution of new funds for the Company totaling R$4.0 billion. In addition, under the terms of the commitment agreement, on that date the Company issued, as compensation for their commitments under the commitment agreement, 272,148,705 common shares in a private placement to the Backstop Investors and paid US$13 million to the Backstop Investors. As a result of the outcome of the subscription and payment of the Capital Increase – New Funds and the Commitment Shares, the Company’s share capital increased to R$32,538,937,370.00, represented by 5,954,205,001 shares, divided into 5,796,477,760 registered common shares and 157,727,241 registered preferred shares, without par value.

Litigation discontinuation settlement between the Company and Pharol

 

On February 8, 2019, in order to discontinue any disputes that might harm the implementation of the JRP, the Company disclosed a Material Fact Notice informing that its Board of Directors approved, in accordance with CVM Instruction 567/2015, the acquisition of 1,800,000 preferred shares issued by the Company to ensure the compliance of the commitment assumed by the Company to transfer its treasury shares to Bratel, wholly-owned subsidiary of Pharol SGPS, S.A., in the context of the settlement entered into, subject matter of the Material Fact Notice of January 8, 2019 (“Settlement”), in transactions conducted in B3’s OTC to deliver the treasury shares to Bratel, which would be made within four business days from the confirmation of the settlement by the Judicial Reorganization Court.

 

On February 18, 2019, the Court issued a decision suspending conflict of jurisdiction injunction No. 157.099 during the period requested by the parties.

 

On April 3, 2019, the Company disclosed a notice to the market to inform on the confirmation of the settlement, referred to above, because the fifteen-day term for the publication of the related court decision has run out. Accordingly, as determined in the Settlement, the term for the compliance with the second part of the obligations established by both parties to the Settlement started on this same date, including: (a) the request to discontinue all the litigation involving the parties named in the Agreement and (b) the delivery to Bratel of 33.8 million Oi shares there were held in treasury, including 32 million common shares and 1.8 million preferred shares. In addition, several obligations and rights of the parties described in the Material Fact Notice released by Oi and the Communication released by Pharol, both on January 9, 2019, were fully clearly established.

Subsequently to the Material Fact Notice disclosed on December 23, 2019, the Company disclosed a Notice to the Market on February 4, 2020 informing shareholders and the general market that the subscription and payment of the Oi Móvel Issue had been completed for private placement in the amount of R$2,500,000,000.00.

 

Non-termination of the Judicial Reorganization

 

On December 6, 2019, the Company released a Material Fact Notice informing that the Oi Companies had filed a petition with the Judicial Reorganization Court requesting that the court oversight of the Oi Companies not to terminated on February 4, 2020, the date when the Plan’s homologation would complete two (2) years.

 

The non-termination of the judicial oversight did not introduce any changes to the current position of the Oi Companies and had no impact on the compliance with the Plan in force or on current receivables, or any other new funds that were obtained by the Oi Companies. It is worth noting that the continuity of court oversight at the end of the two-year period is a natural measure that has been applied in most judicial reorganization proceedings.

 

Notwithstanding the good progress of the Plan implementation, which has already concluded most of the steps provided for in the proceeding, which were important for the Company’s recovery, said petition presented the Judicial Reorganization Court with circumstances related to the complexity inherent to the Judicial Reorganization Proceeding’s magnitude and to the reforms underway in the legal and regulatory environment, and which would require actions still to be implemented as part of the Judicial Reorganization Proceeding.

 

On February 28, 2020, the Company released a Material Fact Notice informing its shareholders and the general market that on February 28, 2020 the Oi Companies filed with the Judicial Reorganization Court a petition exposing its interest in submitting for deliberation to a new general creditors’ meeting (“New GCM”) an amendment to the Plan (“Amendment to Plan” or “amendment to the JRP”) aimed at achieving greater operating and financial flexibility to continue its investment project and the compliance with its strategic transformation plan (“Strategic Plan”), both broadly disclosed to the market.

 

In line with the foregoing, on March 6, 2020, the Company disclosed a Material Fact Notice informing that the Judicial Reorganization Court awarded a decision, on the same date, granting the Company’s request for a New General Creditors’ Meeting to deliberate on an amendment to the Plan, prescribing that:

 

(i)the Oi Companies filed with the court, within 180 days from the decision’s issue date, the draft amendment to the JRP; and

 

(ii)the Trustee organized the New General Creditors’ Meeting, which shall be held within 60 days from the submission of the draft amendment to the JRP.

 

Amendment to the Judicial Reorganization Plan

 

On June 15, 2020, the Oi Companies filed with the Judicial Reorganization Court the draft Amendment to the JRP for the purposes of increasing the flexibility of the Original JRP by creating a more efficient corporate and operating structure, aiming at maximizing the Company’s value to the benefit of all its stakeholders. This initiative was fully aligned with the Strategic Plan, which is being transparently implemented.

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

On August 13, 2020, the Oi Companies filed with the Judicial Reorganization Court an updated draft of the Amendment to the JRP that adjusts certain terms and conditions. This proposal reflected the several discussions with creditors, potential investors, and other stakeholders, including discussions held with the mediator appointed by the Judicial Reorganization Court, for the purpose of discussing improvements to the Amendment to the JRP.

 

The Amendment to the JRP was submitted to a vote by the Debtors and approved at the New GCM held on September 8, 2020, the date of the first notice to convene, at the SulAmérica, Convention Center, and was confirmed by the Judicial Reorganization Court on October 5, 2020, in a decision issued on October 8, 2020 that rejected all the allegations of procedural nullity of the New GCM, ruling out the allegation of unequal treatment among creditors and rejecting the requests for nullity of the voting and approval quorum of the Amendment to the JRP because it did not include any drafting and unresolved issues and, among other measures, has set a twelve-month period for ending the Debtors’ judicial reorganization, beginning on the date of said decision issue date, which may be extended, should there be a need to complete the acts relating to the disposals provided for in the Amendment to the JRP.

 

1.Purposes of the Amendment to the JRP

 

The Amendment to the JRP, approved by the creditors and ratified by the Judicial Reorganization Court, as referred to above, aims at allowing the Oi Companies and their subsidiaries (“Oi Group”) to implement their long-term plan, with the necessary resolution of their debt, in the current context, and their continuity as going concerns by following said JRP and their Strategic Plan. The main purpose of the Oi Group’s strategy is transforming its business model by focusing on the use and rapid expansion of its extensive fiber optics infrastructure as a competitive edge, including its transportation networks (backbone, backhaul and data network), and primary and secondary access networks (dedicated links, metropolitan rings, and FTTH access networks), enabling and supporting the high-speed connection and service provision needs of its residential, business, corporate, and government customers, and the provision of infrastructure services for other telecommunication service providers in the country, including the facilitation of connections for the new 5G technology.

 

This strategy will be implemented by proceeding with the asset divestiture process, the possibility of taking part of moves toward consolidation in the industry and divesting its mobile communications operation and adopting of the model known as structural separation, which allows incorporating separate entities dedicated to investing, the operation and the maintenance of the telecommunications infrastructure and the provision of services to its end customers, including the product development, marketing, sales and customer service activities. This aims at making the Oi Group’s business model more sustainable, focused on its main competitive advantages, structured in an efficient and focused manner, and ensuring the continuity of the Oi Group and the consequent compliance with the means of recovery and payment of all prepetition claims.

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

The Amendment to the JRP aims at introducing flexibility in meeting the Company’s strategic goals described above and its main purposes include:

 

(i)provide for the possibility of forming isolated production units (“UPIs”) by separating certain businesses and/or isolated assets of the Oi Group and sell such separate units under the security and benefits assured by Law 11101/2005 (Business Recovery and Bankruptcy Law, or LRF), so as to maximize their worth and provide the resources necessary to pay prepetition creditors and discharge the Debtors’ obligations;

 

(ii)improve the payment terms and conditions for a significant portion of small creditors as a way of reducing litigation and expediting up the settlement of these claims, as required by the Judicial Reorganization Court;

 

(iii)allow the Debtors to raise additional financing and other funding to allow them to maintain the necessary investments and pay their creditors; and

 

(iv)allow the segregation, using an Oi Group company, of some fiber optics assets and infrastructure to create a more flexible and efficient corporate structure to accelerate investments in the expansion of the fiber optics network. Such company may have access to financial and capital markets and raise additional funds at lower costs, thus ensuring the funds generated by the Debtors’ operations are used exclusively in such operations, thus, strengthening their operating structure.

 

2.UPIs provided for in the Amendment to the JRP

 

The Amendment to the JRP provides for the creation of five (5) UPIs separate from the assets, liabilities and rights of the Debtors and associated with (a) the operation of telecommunications networks (“UPI InfraCo”); the telephony and data operation in the mobile communications market (“UPI Mobile Assets”); (c) the passive infrastructure (“UPI Towers” and “UPI Datacenter”); and (d) the TV business (“UPI TVCo”).

 

The UPIs are established as special purpose corporations (“SPCs”) and may be sold, under different models for each type of UPI described above, to ensure the debt payment and generate the funds necessary for the expansion of its fiber infrastructure and associated services, which are the key focus of Oi Group’s strategy. The divestment of the UPIs would allow Oi to maximize the business value of its investments by expanding its residential and business access services nationwide, exploit more efficiently its network components, and create new business opportunities for the exploitation of these networks by offering them to other carriers and service providers in the telecommunications industry, in light with the governing laws, regulations and the required permits from competent authorities, where applicable.

 

The Amendment to the JRP contains detailed information on the composition of each UPI and the terms and conditions applicable to their disposal, including information on their structure and minimum price, available at www.recjud.com.br, for consultation purposes.

2.1.UPI InfraCo

 

InfraCo SPC will concentrate infrastructure and fiber assets related to the Oi Group’s access and transportation networks already contributed to its capital, whether when they are directly assigned or even when they are assigned as right of use, in the form of Indefeasible Rights of Use (IRUs), as well as new infrastructure investments to be made in the future for the purpose of accelerating investments in the expansion of its fiber optics networks, based on a more flexible and efficient capital structure and greater possibility of attracting and using new funds. InfraCo SPC is seeking in the market the necessary funds to finance its investments in order to expand Oi Group’s operations in fiber optics and serve a larger number of customers from these segments nationwide.

 

The Amendment to the JRP establishes that Oi shall retain a material interest in the capital of InfraCo SPC through measures to ensure its active participation in the creation and expansion of a local leader in fiber optics infrastructure. As in other countries, the creation of InfraCo SPC followed a logic of structural separation between the services company and the infrastructure company for the purpose of maximizing business value through greater efficiency and innovation, with clear strategies focused on customer experience and product and service innovation on one hand and mass access to fiber infrastructures and optimization of its technical operation on the other.

 

The UPI InfraCo consists of 100% of the SPC shares, which concentrates the assets and liabilities related to the fiber optics and infrastructure activities described in Annex 5.3.4 to the Amendment to the JRP. Clause 5.3.9.4 of the Amendment to the JRP provides for the partial divestiture of the UPI InfraCo through a bidding process, under the terms of the Business Recovery and Bankruptcy Law, by submitting sealed bids for the disposal of the majority of the voting shares of InfraCo SPC, representing its shareholding control. This bid should ensure the Company the payment of at least R$6.5 billion, in addition to the guarantee from the acquirer that there will be adequate funds for the payment of possible remaining debts of InfraCo SPC, including the full payment of InfraCo’s debt outlined in Clause 5.3.8.1 to the Amendment to the JRP and the compliance with its investment plan, according to certain parameters to be established in the related UPI InfraCo Invitation to Bid Notice. At the completion of the partial sale of the UPI InfraCo, the buyer will be assured an interest equivalent to 51.0% of the total capital stock, not exceeding 51.0% of the economic capital of InfraCo SPC, and the Debtors are reserved the right to, at their sole discretion, determine the division of the capital stock of InfraCo SPC into common and preferred shares of InfraCo in the sale, within the limits established by law, thus guaranteeing that the Company shall retain a significant equity interest in SPC InfraCo, which might be possibly liable for the Debtors’ obligations to JRP creditors.

 

As a result of the large demand for the asset during the preliminary market analysis conducted by a financial advisor, the minimum economic value (EV) of InfraCo SPC (as at December 31, 2021) to be considered in the proposals will be R$20 billion, within the previous reference range of 25.5% to 51% of the economic value, in order to ensure an active bid dispute among the different stakeholders for the control of InfraCo (51% of the voting capital of InfraCo SPC) until the auction. The interested parties must also assume the commitment to pay a secondary installment of the acquisition price of not less than R$6.5 billion and a primary installment of the acquisition price amounting up to R$5 billion, to guarantee the payment of any remaining debts of InfraCo SPC, including the payment of the amount of InfraCo SPC’s debt provided for in Clause 5.3.8.1 of the Amendment to the JRP and the implementation of the planned investment plan, in exchange for receiving new common shares issued

by InfraCo SPC, at the price per share paid in the partial sale of UPI InfraCo, adjusted as provided for in the Amendment to the JRP.

 

The Oi Group may, by the date of publication of the UPI InfraCo Notice, accept the binding bid with the highest economic value (EV) assigned to InfraCo SPC for the partial acquisition of UPI InfraCo, pursuant to the terms of the Amendment to the JRP, undertaking to grant such bidder the right to top, at its sole discretion, any offer per share issued by InfraCo SPC above its own biding bid, provided it submits an offer for an amount higher than at least 1% of the price per share issued by InfraCo SPC set in the best offer made during the bidding process for partial sale of the UPI InfraCo. The Amendment to the JRP also provides for mechanisms for evaluating binding bids for the partial acquisition of the UPI InfraCo that take into consideration not only the price per share offered and its minimum price of the economic value (EV) of InfraCo SPC, but also the possibility of evaluating better conditions for determining the best bid to be taken into consideration as the preferential bid for the judicial bidding process.

 

On January 25, 2021, Oi released a Material Fact Notice informing its shareholders and the market in general that on January 22, 2021 it had received binding proposals from third parties for the partial acquisition of the UPI InfraCo, all above the minimum price set in the Amendment to the JRP and that the proposals received are under analysis by the Company, which may engage in negotiations with the bidder of the best offer, on an exclusive basis, for the purpose of negotiating the final agreements that will be disclosed during the bidding process, by means of the corresponding Invitation to Bid Notice to be published in due course.

The purpose of the Agreement is to grant the negotiations underway between the parties the necessary security and agility, and, if the negotiations between the parties regarding the terms and documentation are satisfactorily concluded, allow that Oi is in a position to grant the Bidders the right to top other bids received in the course of the bidding process for the sale of the UPI InfraCo, pursuant to Clause 5.3.9.4.6 of the Amendment to the JRP confirmed by the JRP. The Agreement is initially effective until March 6, 2021 and will be automatically renewed for an additional period of thirty (30) days, unless otherwise stated by any of the parties. The initial effective date was March 6, 2021, which was automatically renewed for another thirty-day period, to become effective until April 5, 2021, as reported by Oi in a Notice to the Market disclosed on March 5, 2021.

On February 18, 2021, Oi disclosed a Material Fact Notice informing that its subsidiary BrT Multimídia had entered into an indenture for the issue of collateralized, simple, nonconvertible debentures, backed by collaterals, for private placement, in the total amount of up to R$ 2,500,000,000.00 (“InfraCo Debentures” and “InfraCo Issue”, respectively).

Alternatively, and at the sole discretion of Oi and its subsidiaries Oi Móvel and Telemar, InfraCo SPC may redeem all of the preferred shares held by the Debentureholders as a result of Conversion.

The Company has been successfully discharging the obligations set forth in the judicial reorganization proceedings and even though there are no indications in this regard, we emphasize that the conditions and circumstances point to material uncertainties because of their own nature that may affect the success of the judicial reorganization and cast significant doubts as to the Oi Companies’ ability to continue as going concerns. As at December 31, 2020 and after the implementation of the JRP, total shareholders’ equity was R$7,769,910 (R$7,751,492 in the Company), loss for the year then ended was R$10,528,499 (R$10,529,963 in the Company), and working capital totaled R$15,782,630 (R$2,972,818 in the Company). As at December 31, 2019 and after the implementation of the JRP, total shareholders’ equity was R$17,796,506 (R$17,650,326 in the Company), loss for the year then ended was R$9,095,107 (R$9,000,434 in the Company), and working capital totaled R$6,157,364 (R$6,050,559 in the Company).

 

On January 31, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that COVID-19 was a global health emergency and on March 3, 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic.

 

By the closing date of these Financial Statements, we had no records of material deviations in our operations and results, even though the scenario is adverse and there are still uncertainties regarding the duration and effects of the pandemic. In addition, the Company has intensified the digitalization of processes, sales and services, telemarketing and teleagent channels, which has allowed a rapid and growing recovery and resumption of pre-COVID levels.

Business combinations

 

The Company uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred, and the equity instruments issued. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration contract, where applicable. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially measured as their fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company depreciates amounts recognized based on the appreciation of the acquired assets, according to the useful lives of the underlying assets, and tests such assets to determine any asset impairment losses when there is evidence of impairment; on the other hand, the Company tests for impairment amounts based on future profitability (goodwill) on an annual basis.

Comprise cash and imprest cash fund, banks, and highly liquid short-term investments (usually maturing within less than three months), immediately convertible into a known cash amount, and subject to an immaterial risk of change in value, which are stated at fair value at the end of the reporting period and which do not exceed their market value, and whose classification is determined as shown below (Note 8).

 

Financial assets

 

Financial assets are classified according to their purpose into: (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income; and (iii) fair value through profit or loss.

 

The Company classifies its financial assets into the following measurement categories: (1) assets measured at amortized cost—i.e., financial assets that meet the following conditions: (i) the business model under which financial assets are held to obtain contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset generate, on specified dates, cash flows that are only payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal (accounts receivable, loans and cash equivalents). Amortized cost is written down by impairment losses; (2) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest income is calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net earnings (losses) are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, accumulated losses in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss; and (3) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Net earnings (losses), including interest, are recognized directly in profit or loss.

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable derive mainly from billed telecommunications services and services provided to customers not billed by yearend, classified as at amortized cost which does not differ from their fair values, net of the allowance for expected losses.

The Company recognizes the allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables based on historical credit loss experience according to observable data to reflect the effects of current and future conditions, provided that such data is available without undue cost or effort. The Company assumes the credit risk for a financial asset from its initial recognition when contractual payments are not yet past due, unless reasonable and supportable information is available to show otherwise.

 

Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

 

Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is recoverable, principally through a sale, and when such sale is highly probable. These assets are stated at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a group of assets held for sale is initially allocated to goodwill and, then, to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis.

 

A discontinuing operation is a component of an entity or a business unit that can be clearly distinguished operationally from the rest of the Company. The classification of a discontinuing operation is made when the operation is sold or meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

 

We emphasize that in 2020, the Amendment to the JRP (Note 1) provides for the creation and sale of five (5) UPIs separated from the assets, liabilities and rights associated with (a) telephony and data operation in the mobile communications market (“UPI Mobile Assets”); (b) passive infrastructure (“UPI Towers” and “UPI Datacenter”); (c) telecommunications network operation (“UPI InfraCo”); and (d) the TV business (“UPI TVCo”). The assets and liabilities allocated to the UPIs that meet the recognition criteria as held-for-sale assets and discontinued operations are presented in Note 31.

 

Investments

 

Financial information on subsidiaries and joint ventures, as well as associates, is recognized in the individual financial statements of the parent Company using the equity method of accounting. Other investments are carried at cost, less an allowance for write-down to realizable value, when applicable.

 

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are fully consolidated in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the time control is obtained until the date it no longer exists. The investments in joint ventures are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements by the equity method of accounting.

 

The accounting policies of the subsidiaries and joint ventures are aligned with the policies adopted by the Company (Note 15).

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of purchase or construction, less accumulated depreciation. Historical costs include expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of assets. They also include certain costs on facilities, when it is probable that the future economic benefits related to such costs will flow into the Company, and asset dismantlement, removal and restoration costs. The borrowings and financing costs directly attributable to the purchase, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized in the initial cost of such asset. Qualifying assets are those that necessarily require a significant time to be ready for use.

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

Subsequent costs are added to the carrying amount as appropriate, when, and only when, these assets generate future economic benefits and can be reliably measured. The residual balance of the replaced asset is derecognized. Maintenance and repair costs are recorded in profit or loss for the period when they are incurred, and they are capitalized when, and only when, they clearly represent an increase in installed capacity or the useful lives of assets.

 

Assets under finance leases are recorded in property, plant and equipment at the lower of fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments, from the initial date of the agreement.

 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are annually reviewed by the Company (Note 16).

 

Intangible assets

 

Acquired intangible assets with finite useful lives are recognized at cost, less amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life. The estimated useful life and method of amortization are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, and the effect of any changes in estimates is accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

 

Software licenses purchased are capitalized based on the costs incurred to purchase the software and make it ready for use.

 

Software maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Regulatory licenses related to the merged capital gains are amortized over the STFC concession period. The other regulatory licenses for the operation of the mobile telephony services are recognized at cost of acquisition and amortized over the effective period of the related licenses (Note 17).

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts might be impaired. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable value. Recoverable value is the higher of fair value less cost to sell and the value in use. For impairment test purposes, assets are grouped into the smallest identifiable group for which there is a cash-generating unit (CGU), which is identified pursuant to the operating segment. In 2020, the Company grouped its assets at the UPI and assets from continuing operations level, totaling six (6) CGUs: Mobile Assets, Infrastructure, TV, Towers, Datacenter, and Assets from Continuing Operations.

 

These calculations required the use of judgments and assumptions that may be influenced by different external and internal factors, such as economic trends, industry trends and interest rates, changes in business strategies, and changes in the type of services and products provided by the Company to the market. The use of different assumptions can significantly change the financial information.

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

For impairment test purposes, the Company considered the fair value net of selling expenses for the CGUs for which binding bids were received and the value in use for the remaining CGUs. The cash flow projections used to calculate the value in use cover a ten-year period and take into consideration the average useful lives of the assets and the cash flow period of the judicial reorganization plan, and are consistent with those used in previous years. The discount rate used in the cash flows corresponds to the weighted average cost of capital of 9.94% (10.94% in 2019), which is reviewed at least annually by the Company.

 

Pursuant to CPC 01/IAS 36, a loss or reversal of the impairment loss allowance must be allocated to the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit’s assets. As at December 31, 2020, a loss was allocated to CGU TV on assets corresponding of R$329 million and a reversal was allocated to CGU Assets from continuing operations on regulatory licenses totaling R$1,130 million, an impact arising from the changes introduced by the Amendment to the JPR (Note 1), basically related to the disposals of the UPIs (Notes 5 and 17).

 

Adjustment to present value

 

The Company values its financial assets and financial liabilities to identify instances of applicability of the discount to present value. For recognition purposes, the adjustment to present value is calculated taking into consideration the contractual cash flows and stated interest rates, and the interest rate of liabilities in certain cases.

 

Generally, when applicable, the discount rate used is the average return rate on investments for financial assets or interest charged on Company borrowings for financial liabilities. The balancing item is the asset or liability that has originated the financial instrument, when applicable, and the deemed borrowing costs are allocated to the Company’s profits over the transaction term.

 

Under the terms and conditions of the Original JRP and the Amendment to the JRP, certain balances of trade payables and contingencies involving ANATEL were adjusted to fair value on the date of the novation of prepetition liabilities, pursuant to the requirements of IFRS 9/CPC 48, equivalent to the present value at the time, calculated based on an internal valuation that took into consideration the cash flows of these liabilities and assumptions related to the discount rates, consistent with the maturity and currency of each financial liability.

 

The present value of the lease agreements is measured by discounting fixed future payment flows, which do not take into account projected inflation, using the incremental interest rate, according to market conditions, estimated using the Company-specific risk spread.

 

Additionally, assets acquired under lease agreements, as well as unrecognized revenue generated by the assignment of communication towers are adjusted to present value.

Impairment of financial assets

 

The Company assesses at yearend whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is considered impaired when there is objective evidence, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that loss event had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

 

In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in their fair value below cost is also objective evidence of impairment.

 

Borrowings and financing

 

Borrowings and financing are stated at amortized cost, plus inflation adjustment or foreign exchange differences and interest incurred through the end of the reporting period (Note 19).

 

On the restructuring/novation date of financial liabilities subject to judicial reorganization, the Company recognized loan borrowing and financing commitments at fair value pursuant to the requirements of IFRS 9/CPC 48. The fair value at the restructuring date of each financial liability was calculated based on an internal valuation that took into consideration the cash flows from these liabilities and assumptions related to the discount rates, consistent with the maturity and the currency of each financial liability.

 

A borrowing and financing financial liability is derecognized when the debt is extinct or there is a substantial changes in the contractual terms. Under the terms and conditions of the Amendment to the JRP, there is the obligation to prepay the claims of class II and III creditors at discount if one or more liquidity events occur (Note 1). Such prepayment obligations do not meet the liability derecognition or substantial change in the contractual terms criteria since they depend on the compliance with certain conditions precedent provided for by the Plan and which are beyond of the Company’s control.

 

Transaction costs incurred are measured at amortized cost and recognized in liabilities, as a reduction to the balance of borrowings and financing, and are expensed over the relevant agreement term.

 

Leases

 

The Company recognizes a right-to-use asset and a lease liability in its balance sheet with respect to the leased assets. The right-to-use asset is measured at cost, which consists of the initial amount of the lease liability measurement, plus initial direct costs incurred, estimated costs to decommission and remove the asset at the end of the lease, other payments made before the lease commencement date, and calculated at present value, discounted by the incremental lending rate. The discount rates used by the Company were obtained in accordance with market conditions, estimated using the Company-specific risk spread.

 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

 

Debt or equity instruments issued the Company and its subsidiaries are classified as financial liabilities or equity instruments, according to the contractual substance of the transaction.

Provisions

 

The amount recognized as provision is the best estimate of the disbursement required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, based on the opinion of the management and its in-house and outside legal counsel, and the amounts are recognized based on the cost of the expected outcome of ongoing lawsuits (Note 23).

 

For measuring the amount of the provisions to be recognized, the Company basically adopts two methodologies: (i) the statistical measurement model and (ii) the individual measurement model. In order to choose the methodology to be used, the Company takes into consideration, among other criteria, the number of lawsuits, the lawsuit amount, the estimated amount of a possible payment, and the nature of the lawsuit.

 

The statistical measurement model is usually used in situations where there are (i) a significant volume of administrative or judicial proceedings with similar nature; (ii) individually the proceedings have low amounts; and (iii) it is possible to determine a statistical model based on historic information about the rates of unfavorable sentences, the amount of the payments, and the changes in the number of proceedings. Usually in this model the Company uses the calculation of the expected amount, as prescribed by paragraph 39 of CPC 25/IAS 37, and requests opinions from outside specialists to assess the likelihood of a loss. The main contingencies measured under this model are labor and civil (PEX and small claims) lawsuits.

 

The individual measurement model is usually used in situations where (i) the proceeding involves a high amount; (ii) it is reasonably possible to make an individual assessment of likelihood that a disbursement will be required; and (iii) there is no similarity in the nature of the proceedings. In this model the Company uses opinions from outside specialists in the involved areas to assess the likelihood of a loss. The main contingencies measured under this model are tax and strategic civil proceedings.

 

The increase in the obligation as a result of the passage of time is recognized as financial expenses.

 

Onerous obligation

 

The Company recognizes a present obligation when events render the contracting of services onerous.

 

A contract becomes onerous when: (i) the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received over the contract period; and (ii) the costs are unavoidable.

 

The Company measures the onerous obligation according to the lower net cost of fulfilling the contract, which is determined based on the lower of: (i) the cost of fulfilling the contract or (ii) the cost of any compensation or penalties derived from the noncompliance of the contract.

 

The base assumptions used to calculate the onerous obligation must be periodically reviewed and measured whenever there are significant changes of these assumptions.

Employee benefits

 

Pension plans: private pension plans and other postretirement benefits sponsored by the Company and its subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees are managed by two foundations. Contributions are determined based on actuarial calculations, when applicable, and charged to profit or loss on the accrual basis (Note 26).

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have defined benefit and defined contribution plans.

 

In the defined contribution plan, the sponsor makes fixed contributions to a fund managed by a separate entity. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses as incurred. The sponsor does not have the legal or constructive obligation of making additional contributions, in the event the fund lacks sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits related to the services provided in the current year and prior years.

 

The defined benefit is annually calculated by independent actuaries, who use the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows, using the projected inflation rate plus long-term interest. The obligation recognized in the balance sheet as regards the defined benefit pension plans presenting a deficit, corresponds to the present value of the benefits defined at the balance sheet date, less the fair value of the plan’s assets.

 

The actuarial gains and losses resulting from the changes in the actuarial valuations of the pension plans, whose actuarial obligations or actuarial assets are recorded by the Company, are fully recognized in other comprehensive income, in equity (Note 25).

 

The asset recognized in balance sheet corresponds to the present value of available economic benefits, consisting of refunds or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

 

 

Employee profit sharing: the provision for the employee profit sharing plan is accounted on an accrual basis, which is paid by April of the year following the recognition of the provision, takes into consideration a set of operating and financial goals approved with the employees’ labor union, under a specific collective labor agreement. This cost is recognized annually in personnel expenses.

 

Share-based compensation: the Company has a share-based compensation plan, settled with stock, under which the entity receives the services of employees as consideration for equity instruments. The fair value of employee services, received in exchange for the granted stock, is recognized as an expense. The total amount to be recognized is determined by reference to the fair value of the stock granted, based on the achievement of performance targets, corresponding to the number of shares that the beneficiary will be entitled to in each year vested shares are delivery. Total expenses are recognized over the period during which the specific vesting conditions must be met.

 

At the end of the reporting period, the Company revisits the estimated number of vesting shares taking into account non-market vesting conditions and length of service conditions. The Company recognizes the impact of the revision of the initial estimates, if any, in the statement of profit or loss, with a contra entry in equity.

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

The amounts received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital (nominal value) when the shares are exercised.

 

Payroll taxes payable in connection with the grant of stock options are considered an integral part of the grant itself, and their collection is treated as a cash-settled transaction.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenues correspond basically to the amount of the payments received or receivable from sales of services in the regular course of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ activities.

Revenue is recognized when the control over goods or services is transferred to the customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for such goods or services.

 

The Company applied the judgments that significantly affect the determined amount and the recognition timing of the revenue from a contract with a customer, taking into account the five-step recognition model: (i) identify the contract; (ii) identify the separate performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition da revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Service revenue is recognized when services are provided. Local and long distance calls are charged based on time measurement according to the legislation in effect. The services charged based on monthly fixed amounts are calculated and recorded on a straight-line basis. Prepaid services are recognized as unearned revenues and recognized in revenue as services are used by customers.

 

Revenue from sales of handsets and accessories is recognized when these items are delivered and accepted by the customers. Discounts on services provided and sales of cell phones and accessories are taken into consideration in the recognition of the related revenue. Revenues involving transactions with multiple elements are identified in relation to each one of their components and the recognition criteria are applied on an individual basis.

 

Revenue arising from the receipt of trade payables that had already been written off as losses but were subsequently recovered and received in the collection process, are recognized in profit or loss, in other operating income.

 

Revenue is not recognized when there is significant uncertainty as to its realization (Notes 4 and 5).

 

Expense recognition

 

Expenses are recognized on the accrual basis, considering their relation with revenue realization. Prepaid expenses attributable to future years are deferred over the related periods. The incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer (contract compliance costs), consisting basically of sales, are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis, consistent with the transfer of goods and services to the customers.

Financial income and expenses

 

Financial income is recognized on an accrual basis and comprises interest on receivables settled after the due date, gains on short-term investments and gains on derivative instruments. Financial expenses consist primarily of interest effectively incurred, adjustments to present value, and other charges on borrowings, financing, and financial derivative contracts. They also include banking fees and costs, financial intermediation costs on the collection of trade receivables, and other financial transactions (Notes 5 and 6).

 

Current and deferred income tax and social contribution

 

Income tax and social contribution are recorded on an accrual basis. Taxes attributed to temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards are recorded in assets or liabilities, as applicable, only under the assumption of future realization or payment. The Company prepares technical studies that consider the future generation of taxable income, based on management expectations, considering the continuity of the companies as going concerns. The Company writes down the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to the extent it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow the utilization of all or part of the deferred tax assets.

 

Any write-down of deferred tax assets is reversed when it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available. The technical studies are updated annually, approved by the Board of Directors and reviewed by the Supervisory Board, and the tax credits are adjusted based on the results of these reviews. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates applicable for the period in which the liability is expected to be settled or the asset is expected to be realized, based on the tax rates set forth in the tax law prevailing at the end of each reporting period, or when new legislation has been substantially enacted. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of each reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of these assets and liabilities (Note 7).

 

Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated through profit or loss for the year attributable to the owners of the Company, divided by the weighted average number of common and preferred shares outstanding in the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated using said weighted average number of outstanding shares adjusted by potentially dilutive instruments convertible into shares in the reporting years, pursuant to CPC 41/IAS 33. (Note 25 (f).)

 

(c)Estimates and critical accounting judgments

 

The Company’s management uses estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors, including expected future events, which are considered reasonable and relevant, and also requires judgments related to these matters. Actual results of operations and the financial position may differ from these estimates. The estimates that represent a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are as follows:

Revenue recognition and accounts receivable

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is significant as it is a material component of operating results. Determining the amount and the timing of revenue recognition by Management, collection ability, and the rights to receive certain network usage revenue is based on judgment related to the nature of the tariff collected for the services provided, the price of certain products, and the right to collect this revenue. If changes in conditions cause management to conclude that such criteria are not met in certain operations, the amount of trade receivables might be affected. In addition, the Company depends on guidelines to measure certain revenue set by ANATEL (Brazilian telecommunications industry regulator).

 

Expected losses on trade receivables

 

The recognition of expected losses on trade receivables takes into account the measures implemented to restrict the provision of services to and collect late payments from defaulting customers, as well as the credit risk on an individual and collective basis. The estimate of expected credit loss on trade receivables is recognized in an amount considered sufficient to cover possible losses on the realization of these receivables and is prepared based on historical default rates and on prospective information, such as projections of future conditions that impact collections.

 

There are cases of agreements with certain customers to collect past-due receivables, including agreements that allow customers to settle their debts in installments. The actual amounts not received may be different from the allowance recognized, and additional accruals might be required.

 

Depreciation and amortization of assets with finite useful lives

 

Property, plant and equipment items and intangible assets with finite useful lives are depreciated and amortized, respectively, on a straight-line basis, over the useful lives of the related asset. The depreciation and amortization rates of the most significant assets are shown in Notes 16 and 17, respectively.

 

The useful lives of certain assets may vary as they are used in the fixed-line or mobile telephony segments. The Company reviews the useful lives of assets annually.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The recoverable amounts of long-lived assets are determined by comparing the calculations of their value in use and their sales prices. These calculations required the use of judgments and assumptions that may be influenced by different external and internal factors, such as economic trends, industry trends and interest rates, changes in business strategies, and changes in the type of services and products sold by the Company to the market. The use of different assumptions may significantly change our financial statements.

 

For CGU impairment test purposes, the Company considered the fair value net of selling expenses for the CGUs for which binding bids were received and the value in use for the remaining CGUs.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

After measuring value in use, the Company updated the projections used to determine the value in use of long-lived assets (property, plant and equipment and intangible assets) for the purpose assessing evaluating potential indications of impairment of these assets, including by considering possible impacts of Covid-19 (Note 32 (d)). The updating of the aforementioned projections took into consideration, among other aspects: (i) updating of the assumptions and criteria used in the projections of future cash flows; (ii) updating and standardization of the WACC used in the calculation of the value in use to reflect the current economic context; and (iii) definition of sensitivity scenarios to assess possible impacts.

 

These forecasts cover a ten-year period, taking into account the useful lives of the assets and are consistent with prior years’ cash flows. The discount rate used in the cash flows corresponds to the weighted average cost of capital of 9.94% (10.94% in 2019).

 

Pursuant to CPC 01/IAS 36, an impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the assets of a cash-generating unit, firstly to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill based on expected future profitability and, subsequently, the other assets of the cash-generating unit proportionately to the carrying amount of each asset of the cash-generating units.

 

In 2020, as a result of the asset impairment test, the Company recognized a reversal of previously recognized impairment losses related to the expected future profitability of assets with finite useful lives of the CGU Assets from continuing operations, due to developments in the financial scenarios and indicators taken into account to estimate in the cash flows in the amendment to the JRP, and recognized an impairment loss of CGU TV. A perda ao valor recuperável, reconhecida em 2019, considerando as projeções de fluxos de caixa à época, foi integralmente alocada à mais valia de licenças regulatórias (Notas 5 e 17).

 

Leases

 

The assumptions related to the appropriated discount rates used in the fair value calculation of the present value of the lease payments are subject to significant fluctuations due to different external and internal factors, including economic trends and the Company’s financial performance. The use of different assumptions to measure the present value of our leases may have a material impact on the estimated present value of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability in the balance sheet.

 

Fair value of financial liabilities

 

The assumptions related to the discount rates used in the fair value calculation of our financial liabilities are subject to significant fluctuations due to different external and internal factors, including economic trends and the Company’s financial performance. The use of different assumptions to measure the fair value of the financial liabilities can have a material impact on the estimated fair value of these financial liabilities and the amounts recognized as borrowings and financing in the balance sheet, as well as the amounts recognized in profit or loss.

 

Provisions

 

Pursuant CPC 25/IAS 37, the Company recognized provisions for contingencies basically originated at the juridical and administrative levels, with labor, tax, and civil nature, as detailed in Note 23.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

Depending on the nature of the contingency, the Company’s management uses the statistical measurement or the individual measurement methodology to calculate provisions for contingencies. In any of these methodologies, the Company uses a set of assumptions, information, an internal and external risk assessment, and statistical models that management considers to be appropriate, including the successful implementation of the Judicial Reorganization Plan; however, it is possible that these change in the future, which could result in change in the future provisions for losses.

 

Deferred income tax and social contribution

 

The Company recognizes and settles taxes on income based on the results of operations determined in accordance with the Brazilian corporate law, taking into consideration the provisions of the tax law, which are materially different from the amounts calculated for CPC and IFRS purposes. Pursuant to CPC 32/IAS 12, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the carrying amounts and the taxable bases of the assets and liabilities.

 

The Company regularly tests deferred tax assets for impairment and recognizes an allowance for impairment losses when it is probable that these assets may not be realized, based on the history of taxable income, the projection of future taxable income, and the time estimated for the reversal of existing temporary differences. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions. The use of different estimates and assumptions could result in the recognition of an allowance for impairment losses for the entire or a significant portion of the deferred tax assets.

 

Employee benefits

 

The actuarial valuation is based on assumptions and estimates related to interest rates, return on investments, inflation rates for future periods, mortality indices, and an employment level projection related the pension fund benefit liabilities. The accuracy of these assumptions and estimates will determine the creation of sufficient reserves for the costs of accumulated pensions and healthcare plans, and the amount to be disbursed annually on pension benefits.

 

These assumptions and estimates are subject to significant fluctuations due to different internal and external factors, such as economic trends, social indicators, and our capacity to create new jobs and retain our employees. All assumptions are reviewed at the end of the reporting period. If these assumptions and estimates are not accurate, there may be the need to revise the reserves for pension benefits, which could significantly impact Company results.

 

Reclassifications of the comparative period’s accounting balances

 

The Company made some reclassifications in the note on financial income (expenses) for the year ended December 31, 2019 for better comparability and understanding of the transactions and balances in the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended December 31, 2020. These reclassifications do not affect the Company’s or equity as at December 31, 2019 and profit or loss for the year then ended. We highlight below the stated reclassifications:

3.                  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK ANALYSIS

 

3.1.Fair value measurement

 

CPC 46/IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties, in an arm’s length transaction on measurement date. The standard clarifies that the fair value must be based on the assumptions that market participants would consider in pricing an asset or a liability, and establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to build such assumptions. The fair value measurement hierarchy attaches more importance to available market inputs (i.e., observable data) and a less weight to inputs based on data without transparency (i.e., unobservable data). Additionally, the standard requires that an entity consider all nonperformance risk aspects, including the entity’s credit, when measuring the fair value of a liability.

 

CPC 40/IFRS 7 establishes a three-level hierarchy to measure and disclose fair value. The classification of an instrument in the fair value measurement hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input significant for its measurement. We present below a description of the three-level hierarchy:

 

Level 1—inputs consist of prices quoted (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to which the entity has access on measurement date.

 

Level 2—inputs are different from prices quoted in active markets used in Level 1 and consist of directly or indirectly observable inputs for the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability or that can support the observed market inputs by correlation or otherwise for substantially the entire asset or liability.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

Level 3—inputs used to measure an asset or liability are not based on observable market variables. These inputs represent management’s best estimates and are generally measured using pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar methodologies that require significant judgment or estimate.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have measured their financial assets and financial liabilities at their market or actual realizable values (fair value) using available market inputs and valuation techniques appropriate for each situation. The interpretation of market inputs for the selection of such techniques requires considerable judgment and the preparation of estimates to obtain an amount considered appropriate for each situation. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be obtained in an active market. The use of different assumptions for the calculation of the fair value may have a material impact on the amounts obtained.

 

Some of the Company’s financial liabilities classified as at amortized cost were measured at fair value at the date of novation of these financial liabilities and kept at amortized cost in the subsequent measurement, according to the accounting guidance in CPC 48/IFRS 9, and as a result of the implementation of the Judicial Reorganization Plan ratified in January 2018.

There were no transfers between levels in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have measured their financial assets and financial liabilities at their market or actual realizable values (fair value) using available market inputs and valuation techniques appropriate for each situation, as follows:

 

(a)Cash, cash equivalents and cash investments

 

Foreign currency-denominated cash equivalents and cash investments are basically kept in checking deposits denominated in euro and US dollars.

 

The fair value of securities traded in active markets is equivalent to the amount of the last closing quotation available at the end of the year, multiplied by the number of outstanding securities.

 

For the remaining contracts, the Company carries out an analysis comparing the current contractual terms and conditions with the terms and conditions effective for the contract when they were originated. When terms and conditions are dissimilar, fair value is calculated by discounting future cash flows at the market rates prevailing at the end of the year, and when similar, fair value is similar to the carrying amount on the reporting date.

 

(b)Held-for-sale assets

 

As at December 31, 2019, held-for-sale assets represented the indirect interest held by PT Ventures in the dividends receivable and the fair value of the financial investment in Unitel, both classified as held for sale. The assets from the investment held in PT Ventures were measure substantially at the fair value of the investment for sale, which occurred on January 23, 2020. As at December 31, 2020, the Company does not have more receivables arising from the sale of PT Ventures and thus it does not recognize any amounts as held for sale elated to these assets. PT Ventures was sold for a total amount of US$1 billion, of which: (i) US$699.1 million were paid to Africatel by Sonangol on January 24, 2020; (ii) US$60.9 million were prepaid to Africatel before the completion of the transaction as prepayment of dividends; and (iii) US$240 million were paid by Sonangol to Africatel from February to July 31, 2020. See Note 31 for further information.

(c)Derivative financial instruments

 

The Company conducts derivative transactions to manage certain market risks, mainly the foreign exchange risk. At the closing date of the year ended December 31, 2020, these instruments include Non-deliverable Forward (NDF) contracts.

 

It is worth noting that the Company does not use derivatives for purposes other than the hedging these risks and the method used to calculate the fair value of the derivative instruments contracted throughout the year was the future cash flows method associated to each contracted instrument, discounted using the market rates prevailing at the reporting date.

 

3.2.Financial risk management

 

The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ activities expose them to several financial risks, such as: market risk (including currency fluctuation risk, interest rate risk on fair value, interest rate risk on cash flows), credit risk, and liquidity risk. According to their nature, financial instruments may involve known or unknown risks, and it is important to assess to the best judgment the potential of these risks. The Company and its subsidiaries may use derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain exposures to these risks.

 

The Company’s risk management process is a three-step process, taking into account its consolidated structure: strategic, tactical, and operational. At the strategic level, the Company’s executive committee agrees with the Board of Directors the risk guidelines to be followed each financial year. A Financial Risk Management Committee is responsible for overseeing and ensuring that Oi comply with the existing policies. At the operating level, risk management is carried out by the Company’s treasury officer, in accordance with the policies approved by the Board of Directors.

 

The Financial Risk Management Committee meets on a monthly basis and currently consists of the Chief Finance and Investor Relations Officer, Chief Compliance and Risks Officer, the Chief Accounting and Revenue Officer, and no more than other to officers from the finance department and at least one ex-finance officer.

 

The Hedging and Cash Investments Policies, approved by the Board of Directors, document the management of exposures to market risk factors generated by the financial transactions of the Oi Group companies. In line with the Hedging Policy pillars, the strategy is focused on the preservation of the Company’s cash flows, maintaining its liquidity, and complying with the financial covenants.

3.2.1.Market risk

 

(a)Foreign exchange risk

 

Financial assets

 

The Company is not exposed to any material foreign exchange risk involving foreign currency-denominated financial assets as at December 31, 2020 for which the Company does not enter into any currency hedging transaction.

 

Financial liabilities

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have foreign currency-denominated or foreign currency-indexed borrowings and financing. The risk associated with these liabilities is related to the possibility of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates that could increase the balance of such liabilities. The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ borrowings and financing exposed to this risk represent approximately 64.0% of total liabilities from borrowings and financing (2019 – 52.3%), less the contracted currency hedging transactions.

 

To minimize this type of risk, after the sale of PT Ventures was completed in January 2020, the Company elected to keep part of the funds received with this sale in offshore cash, as a natural hedge both to cover the payment of foreign currency-denominated interest to be made in 2020 and the portion of the Company’s US dollar-denominated operating expenses. The Company hedges 100% of the cash flows of these transactions in 2020 through this natural hedge. Additionally, the Company hedged part of the Company’s US dollar-denominated operating expenses for the surplus. As at December 31, 2020, the Company was a party to currency forward hedging transactions to hedge the interest on the qualified bonds maturing in February 2021, as well as US dollar-denominated expenses for the first months of the year.

 

The currency hedging percentage for purposes of covenant compliance and the financial expenses of the existing borrowings and financing, including the impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates on the fair value adjustment gain, is 40.8%.

 

Foreign currency-denominated financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the balance sheet as follows (includes intragroup balances transferred to Company amounts):

As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the main hedging transactions conducted with financial institutions with the objective minimizing the foreign exchange risk were as follows:

 

Non-deliverable Forward (NDF) contracts

 

US$/R$: Refer to future dollar purchase transactions using NDFs to hedge against the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar. The key strategy for these contracts is to eliminate foreign exchange differences during the contract period, mitigating unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates on dollar-denominated debts or operating expenses.

(b)Interest rate risk

 

Financial assets

 

Cash equivalents and cash investments in local currency are substantially maintained in financial investment funds exclusively managed for the Company and its subsidiaries, and investments in private securities issued by prime financial institutions. Most of the portfolio of exclusive funds consists of repurchase agreements pegged to the SELIC rate (Central Bank’s policy rate).

 

The interest rate risk linked to these assets arises from the possibility of decreases in these rates and consequent decrease in the return on these assets.

 

Financial liabilities

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have borrowings and financing subject to floating interest rates, based on the Long-term Interest Rate (TJLP), the CDI, or the Benchmark Rate in the case of real-denominated debt as at December 31, 2020. After the approval of the JRP, the Company does not have borrowings and financing subject to the foreign currency-denominated floating interest rate.

 

As at December 31, 2020, approximately 35.9% (47.5% in 2019) of the consolidated incurred debt was subject to floating interest rates. The most material exposure of Company’s and its subsidiaries’ debt after is to CDI.  Therefore, a continued increase in this interest rate would have an adverse impact on future interest payments.

Interest rate fluctuation risk sensitivity analysis

 

Management believes that the most material risk related to interest rate fluctuations arises from its liabilities pegged to the CDI and TJLP. This risk is associated to an increase in those rates. TJLP has been successively cut since December 2019, when it was set at 5.57%. Beginning January 2020, the TJLP was cut again to 5.09% p.a. and subsequently to 4.94% p.a. starting April 2020, to 4.91% p.a. for July-September 2020, and to 4.55% p.a. for October-December 2020. Before the end of the quarter, in turn, the National Monetary Council had already decided and announced to keep the downward trend, this time to 4.39% per year, effective for January-March 2021.

 

Pursuant to CPC 40 (R1)/IFRS 7, Management estimated the fluctuation scenarios of the CDI and TJLP rates as at December 31, 2020. The rates used for the probable scenario were the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting year.

 

The rates were stressed by 25% and 50%, and used as benchmark for the possible and remote scenarios.

 

2020
Interest rate scenarios
Probable scenario Possible scenario Remote scenario
CDI TJLP CDI TJLP CDI TJLP
1.90% 4.55% 2.38% 5.69% 2.85% 6.83%

 

Such sensitivity analysis considers payment outflows in future dates. Thus, the aggregate of the amounts for each scenario is not equivalent to the fair values, or even the fair values of these liabilities. The impacts of exposure to interest rates, in the sensitivity scenarios estimated by the Company, are shown in the table below:

3.2.2.Credit risk

 

The concentration of credit risk associated to trade receivables is immaterial due to the diversification of the portfolio. The expected losses on trade receivables are adequately covered by an allowance intended to cover possible losses on their realization.

 

Transactions with financial institutions (cash investments and borrowings and financing) are made with prime entities, avoiding the concentration risk. The credit risk of financial investments is assessed by setting caps for investment in the counterparts, taking into consideration the ratings released by the main international risk rating agencies for each one of such counterparts. As at December 31, 2020, approximately 90.49% of the consolidated cash investments were made with counterparties with an AAA, AA, A, and sovereign risk rating.

 

3.2.3.Liquidity risk

 

The liquidity risk also arises from the possibility of the Company being unable to discharge its liabilities on maturity dates and obtain cash due to market liquidity restrictions. Management uses its resources mainly to fund capital expenditures incurred on the expansion and upgrading of the network, invest in new businesses.

 

The Company’s management monitors the continual forecasts of the liquidity requirements to ensure that the company has sufficient cash to meet its operating needs and fund capital expenditure to modernize and expand its network.

 

Capital management

 

The Company seeks to manage its equity structure according to best market practices.

 

The objective of the Company’s capital management strategy is to ensure that liquidity levels and financial leverage allow the sustained growth of the Group, the compliance with the strategic investment plan, and generation of returns to our shareholders.

 

We may change our capital structure, according to existing economic and financial conditions, to optimize our financial leverage and debt management.

The indicators used to measure capital structure management are: gross debt to accumulated twelve-month EBITDA (earnings before interest (financial income and expenses), taxes, depreciation, and amortization), and the interest coverage ratio, as shown below:

 

Gross debt-to-EBITDA between 2x and 4.0x
Interest coverage ratio (*) higher than 1.75

(*) Measures the Company’s capacity to cover its future interest obligations.

 

As at December 31, 2020, the impact of COVID-19 on the world’s economy continues to contribute to the keeping the Brazilian real at its lowest level for the period, with a material impact on the Company’s gross debt. This depreciation, however, to date represents a merely accounting impact, since the debt matures over the long term. On the qualified bond includes outflows of foreign currency-denominated cash to pay interest thereon. However, the next instalment maturing in February 2021 is hedged by NDFs.

 

3.2.4.Risk of accelerated maturity of borrowings and financing

 

At the end of December 31, 2020 there was no risk of accelerated maturity of the Company’s debt.

 

It is worth emphasizing that, in line with the provisions of the Plan, as amended, BNDES (Brazilian development bank) agrees that, as of the Court Ratification of the Amendment to the JRP (October 8, 2020) and until the first of the financial settlement of the disposal of the UPI Mobile Assets or by May 30, 2022, the obligation to comply with the financial ratios set forth in the agreement will be temporarily stayed by BNDES and, therefore, during such period, its noncompliance will not imply a possible breach of the agreement, as reported in Note 19, ‘Covenants’ section.

(i)Refer to: (i) deferred income tax and social contribution assets calculated as tax benefit originating from the goodwill paid on acquisition of the Company and recognized by the merged companies in the course of 2009. The realization of the tax credit arises from the amortization of the goodwill balance based on the STFC license and in the appreciation of property, plant and equipment, the utilization of which is estimated to occur through 2025, and (ii) deferred income tax and social contribution assets originating from the goodwill paid on the acquisition of interests in the Company in 2008-2011, recognized by the companies merged with and into Telemar Participações S.A. (“TmarPart”) and by TmarPart merged with and into the Company on September 1, 2015, which was based on the Company’s expected future profitability and the amortization of which is estimated to occur through 2025.

 

(ii)Refers basically to the tax effects on the appreciation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, merged from TmarPart.

 

(iii)The Company, based on the schedule of expected generation of future taxable income, supported by a technical feasibility study and the comparison with the estimate of the annual realization amount of asset and liability temporary differences, revised its deferred taxes recovery estimate and identified and recognized the reversal of the allowance at recoverable amount, impact arising from the changes of the Amendment to the JPR (Nota 1), basically related to the disposals of the UPIs.

 

The stock of tax loss carryforwards in Brazil and foreign subsidiaries is approximately R$38,099,633 and R$14,432,380, and corresponds to R$12,953,875 and R$3,608,095 in deferred tax assets, respectively, which can be carried forward indefinitely and offset against taxes payable in the future.

(i) Recoverable ICMS arises mostly from prepaid taxes and credits claimed on purchases of property, plant and equipment, which can be offset against ICMS payable within 48 months, pursuant to Supplementary Law 102/2000.

 

(ii) The Company and its subsidiaries filed legal proceedings to claim the right to deduct ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax bases and the recovery of past unduly paid amounts, within the relevant statute of limitations.

 

In 2019, the 1st and 2nd Region Federal Courts (Brasília and Rio de Janeiro) issued final and unappealable decisions favorable to the Company on two of the three main lawsuits of the Company relating to the discussion about the non-levy of PIS and COFINS on ICMS.

 

These credits were cleared for offset by the Federal Revenue Service between May and October 2019 so that the Company has been using them to pay federal taxes due since June 2019. The total amount of the credit was approximately R$3 billion, added to the three lawsuits.

 

(iii) Represented primarily by the Social Integration Program Tax on Revenue (PIS) and Social Security Funding Tax on Revenue (COFINS) on revenue, financial income, and other income.

 

(iv) The Company and its subsidiaries Telemar and Oi Móvel filed lawsuits to discuss the correct calculation of the contribution to the FUST and in the course of the lawsuits made escrow deposits to suspend its collection. These discussions are also being judged by higher courts and a possible transformation of the deposited amounts into definitive payments should not occur within two (2) years.

(v) The Company and its subsidiaries, Telemar and Oi Móvel, together with other industry companies, filed a lawsuit aiming at removing the obligation to pay the Installation Inspection Fee (TFI) and the Operation Fee (TFF). The court awarded a sentence rejecting the claims, which led to the filing of an appeal, which is still awaiting judgment. As the 2020 TFF payment deadline is about to expire and the appeal is pending judgment, the companies filed request for an early appeal, granted on March 18, 2020, to suspend the payment of the 2020 TFF until the appeal is judged.

 

(vi) Represented primarily by inflation adjustment to suspended taxes and withholding tax on intragroup loans and interest on capital.

 

 

12.               JUDICIAL DEPOSITS

 

In some situations, the Company makes, as ordered by courts or even at its own discretion to provide guarantees, judicial deposits to ensure the continuity of ongoing lawsuits. These judicial deposits can be required for lawsuits with a likelihood of loss, as assessed by the Company based on the opinion of its legal counselors, as probable, possible, or remote. The Company recognizes in current assets that amount it expects to withdraw from escrow deposits or the amount of escrow deposits it expects to offset against provisions in the coming twelve months.

 

As set forth by relevant legislation, judicial deposits are adjusted for inflation.

The tax debts, as is the case of the debts included in tax refinancing programs, are not subject to the terms of the judicial reorganization terms.

 

(i)Special Tax Compliance Program (PERT)

The Company elected to include in and settle through PERT only tax debts that in aggregate do not exceed the fifteen million Brazilian reais (R$15,000,000.00) ceiling set by Article 3 of Law 13496/2017.

The tax debts included in said program were those being disputed at the administrative level in proceedings classified with a low likelihood of the Company winning and which, in the event of an unfavorable outcome, would result in a lawsuit—and entail all the associated costs—, the reason why the cost effectiveness of joining the program was quite positive, because of the benefits offered by PERT (especially the payment of just 5% of the debt in cash).

Summary of the main matters related to the recognized provisions and contingent liabilities

 

Provisions

 

Labor

 

The Company is a party to a large number of labor lawsuits and calculates the related provision based on a statistical methodology that takes into consideration, but not limited to, the total number of existing lawsuits, the claims make in each lawsuit, the amount claimed in each lawsuit, the history of payments made, and the technical opinion of the legal counsel.

(xiii)Other claims - refer to different litigation including rehiring, profit sharing, qualification of certain allowances as compensation, etc.

Civil

 

(i)ANATEL – On June 30, 2016 the Company was a party to noncompliance administrative proceedings and lawsuits filed by ANATEL and the Federal Attorney General’s Office (AGU) totaling an estimate R$14.5 billion, which were included in the JRP as electable for payment as provided for in this Plan. On this date, R$8.4 billion in liquid proceedings and R$6.1 billion in illiquid proceedings. With regard to the proceedings included in the JRP and taking into consideration the decision that granted the judicial reorganization on February 5, 2018, the Company revised the criteria used to calculate the provision for these regulatory contingencies to start considering the estimate of discounted future cash flows associated to each one of the payment methods provided for in the JRP for this type of claims.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

In light of the Amendment to the JRP, approved at the CGM held on September 8, 2020 and ratified by a court decision issued on October 5, 2020, the claims of Regulatory Agencies will be paid as provided for by Law 13988/2020. This law allows the negotiation of all the claims resulting from PADOS recognized as enforceable debt, to be payable in 84 installments, at a 50% discount of statutory fines, and with a six-month grace period. As such, the Company has once again reviewed the criteria for recognizing regulatory contingencies arising from PADOS not recognized as enforceable debt, taking into account the historical success rate for proceedings with imposed fines and individual assessment of risk and the amount for each case of noncompliance in proceedings still without a lower court decision. As at December 31, 2020, this provision totals R$1,264 million.

The Company disagrees and is challenging some of the alleged noncompliance events, and is also challenging the unfairness and unreasonableness of the amount of imposed fines in light of the pinpointed noncompliance event and has kept in balance sheet the amount it deems a probable loss.

 

(ii)Corporate – Financial Participation Agreements: these agreements were governed by Administrative Rules 415/1972, 1181/1974, 1361/1976, 881/1990, 86/1991, and 1028/1996. When they entered into a financial participation agreement to acquire a telephone line, subscribers became holders of a financial interest in the concessionaire after paying in a certain amount, initially recorded as capitalizable funds and subsequently recorded in the concessionaire’s equity, after a capital increase was approved by the shareholders’ meeting, thus generating the issuance of shares. The lawsuits filed against the former CRT - Companhia Riograndense de Telecomunicações, a company merged by the Company, and other local carriers members of the Telebrás system, challenge the way shares were granted to subscribers based on said financial participation agreements.

 

The Company used to recognize a provision for the risk of unfavorable outcome in these lawsuits based on certain legal doctrine. In 2009 the Superior Court of Justice issued an Abstract—ruling that summarizes the majority understanding of a court on given matter—that led the Company to revise its assessment of the amount and the level of risk attributed to the lawsuits that discuss the matter. The Company, considering obviously the peculiarities of each decision and based on the assessment made by its legal department and outside legal counsel, changed its estimate on the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome from possible to probable. In 2009, the Company’s management, based on the opinions of its legal department and outside legal counsel, revised the measurement criteria of the provision for contingencies related to the financial interest agreements. Said revision contemplated additional considerations regarding the dates and the arguments of the final and unappealable decisions on ongoing lawsuits, as well as the use of statistical criteria to estimate the amount of the provision for those lawsuits. Based on a methodology prepared with the support of its in-house and outside consultants, currently the Company provides for the lawsuits discussing this matter taking into consideration primarily, for purposes of calculating the amounts involved in the lawsuits within or the lawsuits out of the statute of limitations period, the following variables: (i) the number of lawsuits without payment; (ii) the average amount of historic losses; (iii) the average number of court settlements; and (iv) the effects of paying these contingencies as part of the judicial reorganization ratified on January 8, 2018. Specifically for the lawsuits for which settlements were reached in the mediation of illiquid amounts, the amount is considered settled.

At the end of 2010, the Superior Court of Justice set compensation criteria to be followed by the Company to the benefit of the shareholders of the former CRT for those cases new shares, possibly due, could not be issued because of the sentence issued. The criteria must be based on (i) the definition of the number of shares that each claimant would be entitled, measuring the capital invested at the book value of the share reported in CRT’s monthly trial balance on the date it was paid-in, (ii) after said number of shares is determined, it must be multiplied by its quotation on the stock exchange at the closing of the trading day the final and unappealable decision is issued, when the claimant becomes entitled to sell or disposed of the shares, and (iii) the result obtain must be adjusted for inflation (IPC/INPC) from the trading day of the date of the final and unappealable decision, plus legal interest since notification. In the case of succession, the benchmark amount will be the stock market price of the successor company.

 

Based on the new profile and history of the termination of the judicial processes, in the context of the JRP, and, using the loss risk assessment, Management adjusted the estimate of the provisioning made in 2019. In addition, there may be significant changes in the items above, mainly regarding the market price of Company shares.

 

(iii)Small claims courts - claims filed by customers for which the individual indemnification compensation amounts do not exceed the equivalent of forty (40) minimum wages; and

 

The Company is a party to a large number of lawsuits filed in small claims courts and calculates the related provision based on a statistical methodology that takes into consideration, but not limited to, the total number of existing lawsuits, the claims make in each lawsuit, the amount claimed in each lawsuit, the history of payments made, and the technical opinion of the legal counsel and the impacts of the Judicial Reorganization Plan ratified on January 8, 2018.

 

(iv)Other claims - refer to several of ongoing lawsuits discussing contract terminations, certain agencies requesting the reopening of customer service centers, compensation claimed by former suppliers and building contractors, in lawsuits filed by equipment vendors against Company subsidiaries, revision of contractual terms and conditions due to changes introduced by a plan to stabilize the economy, and litigation mainly involving discussions on the breach of contracts.

 

The provisions for these contingencies are calculated individually taking into consideration Management and the legal counsel’s risk assessment.

 

Contingent liabilities

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are also parties to several lawsuits in which the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is classified as possible, in the opinion of their legal counsel, and for which no provision for contingent liabilities has been recognized.

 

The main contingencies classified with possible likelihood of an unfavorable outcome, according to the Company´s management’s opinion, based on its legal counsel’s assessment, are summarized below:

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

Labor

 

Refer to several lawsuits claiming, but not limited to, the payment of salary differences, overtime, hazardous duty and health hazard premium, and joint liability, which total approximately R$299,178 (R$797,927 in 2019).

 

Tax

 

The main ongoing lawsuits have the following matters:

 

(i)ICMS - it refers to discussions concerning the levy of this tax on certain activities and/or the provision of certain services, such as, for example, the levy of ICMS on noncore activities, supplemental services, services provided to tax-exempt customers, subscriptions minimum contract period, or even the disallowance of tax credits because some States qualify them as undue, including, but not limited to, tax credits of capital assets, different calculation of the tax credit ratio (CIAP), totaling approximately R$13,464,237 (R$13,470,008 in 2019);
(ii)ISS – alleged levy of this tax on subsidiary telecommunications services and discussion regarding the classification of the services taxed by the cities listed in Supplementary Law 116/2003, amounting approximately to R$2,761,531 (R$3,286,248 in 2019);
(iii)INSS – tax assessments to add amounts to the contribution salary allegedly due by the Company, amounting approximately to R$626,090 (R$695,249 in 2018); and
(iv)Federal taxes - several tax assessment notifications regarding basically the disallowances made on the calculation of taxes, errors in the completion of tax returns, transfer of PIS and COFINS and FUST related to changes in the interpretation of these taxes tax bases by ANATEL. These lawsuits amount approximately to R$11,567,482 (R$11,010,038 in 2019).

Civil

 

The risk classification is based in the procedural stage, the evidences linked to the cases, and the assessment of the in-house and outside counsel (when necessary). The lawsuits that do not have any decision that indicates a high likelihood of loss or gain and/or are still subject to review by higher courts, regardless of their subject matter, may have their risk classified as possible and may therefore be subject to information disclosed in notes to the financial statements. These lawsuits total approximately R$2,464,987 (R$1,667,900 in 2019).

Fenapas civil action filed with the 5th Corporate Court of Rio de Janeiro, against, in addition to SISTEL, the Company and other operators, aiming at the annulment of the spin-off of the PBS pension plan, alleging, in brief “the breakdown of the Fundação Sistel supplementary pension fund scheme”, which resulted in several specific PBS mirror plans, and the corresponding allocations of funds from the technical surplus and the tax contingency existing at the time of the spin-off. The amount involved cannot be estimated and it is not possible to settle the claims because they are unenforceable since this would require handing back the spun off net assets of Sistel related to telecommunications operators belonging to the former Telebrás system.

Additionally, earnings per share takes into account the effect of potentially dilutive shares arising from the executives’ stock option plan (Note 27).

 

The common and preferred shareholders have different rights in terms of dividends, voting rights, and liquidation, as prescribed by the Company’s bylaws. Accordingly, basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share were calculated based on profit (loss) for the year available to the common and preferred shareholders.

 

Basic

Basic earnings (losses) per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of the Company, available to common and preferred shareholders, by the weighted average number of common and preferred shares outstanding during the year.

 

Diluted

Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of outstanding common and preferred shares, to estimate the dilutive effect of all convertible securities.

 

The table below shows the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

  2020 2019
Loss from continuing operations (11,049,335) (9,866,887)
Loss from discontinued operations (net of taxes) 519,372 866,453
Loss attributable to owners of the Company (10,529,963) (9,000,434)
     
Loss allocated to common shares - basic and diluted (10,254,142) (8,764,803)
Loss allocated to preferred shares – basic and diluted (275,821) (235,631)
     

Weighted average number of outstanding shares

(in thousands of shares)

   
   Common shares - basic and diluted 5,796,448 5,788,447
   Preferred shares – basic and diluted 155,915 155,915
     
Loss per share (in reais):    
   Common shares - basic and diluted (1.77) (1.51)
   Preferred shares – basic and diluted (1.77) (1.51)
     
Loss per share from continuing operations (in reais):    
   Common shares - basic and diluted (1.86) (1.66)
   Preferred shares – basic and diluted (1.86) (1.66)
     
Earnings per share from discontinued operations (in reais):    
   Common shares - basic and diluted 0.09 0.15
   Preferred shares – basic and diluted 0.09 0.15

 

Preferred shares will become voting shares if the Company does not pay minimum dividends to which preferred shares are entitled under the Company’s Bylaws during three consecutive years.

(ii)PAMA

 

PAMA is a healthcare plan for retired employees aimed at providing medical care coverage to beneficiaries, with copayments by and contributions from the latter, provided that linked to the Defined Benefit pension plans managed by SISTEL.

 

Up to 2014, the Company did not consider the assets and liabilities of the PAMA plan because it is multi-sponsored and similar to defined contribution plans (benefits paid are limited to the amount of the contributions received by the plan), and there are no other obligations in addition to the existing balances.

 

However, as from the issue of National Supplementary Healthcare Agency’s position that SISTEL is a sponsor of the healthcare plan as defined by Law 9656/1998 and as a result does not qualify as a Healthcare plan operator, SISTEL is liable for some plan obligations, even though it is not make entitled to revenue from the corresponding contributions. Thus, it is no longer possible to qualify this plan as a defined contribution plan.

 

In October 2015, in compliance with a court order, Sistel transferred the surpluses of the PBS-A benefits plan, amounting to R$3,042 million, to ensure the solvency of the plan PAMA. Of the total amount transferred, R$2,127 million is related to the plans sponsored by the Company, prorated to the portions of the defined benefit obligations. The amount was established based on actuarial studies prepared by an outside consulting firm using assumptions consistent with the population of PAMA users and the projection of medical expenses increase inherent to this population. Beginning on the issue of said court order, the Company started to calculate and disclose information on the PAMA actuarial obligations, pursuant to CPC 33 (CVM 695) criteria.

 

3)PAMEC-BrT - Assistance plan managed by the Company

 

Healthcare plan intended to provide medical care to the retirees and survivor pensioners linked to the TCSPREV Benefit Plan. This Benefit Plan is managed by FATL.

 

The contributions for PAMEC-BrT were fully paid in July 1998, through a single appropriation. However, as this plan is now administrated by the Company, after the transfer of management by Fundação 14 in November 2007, there are no assets recognized to cover current expenses, and the actuarial obligation is fully recognized in the Company’s liabilities.

Investment policy of the plans

 

The investment strategy of the Benefits Plans is described in their investment policy, which is annually approved by the governing board of the sponsored funds. This policy establishes that investment decision-making must take into consideration: (i) the preservation of capital; (ii) the diversification of investments; (iii) the risk appetite according to conservative assumptions; (iv) the expected return rate based on actuarial requirements; (v) the compatibility of investment liquidity with the plans’ cash flows, and (vi) reasonable management costs. The policy also defines the volume interval for different types of investment allowed for the pension funds, as follows: fixed income, variable income, structured investments, investments abroad, loans to participants, and real estate investments.

(b)Employee profit sharing

 

In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries recognized provisions for employee profit sharing based on individual and corporate goal attainment estimates totaling R$147,816 (R$59,989 in 2019) in the Company and R$385,667 (R$247,178 in 2019) on a consolidated basis.

 

(c)Share-based compensation

 

The Company's compensation strategy since 2019, when the Long-Term Incentive Plans (ILP) were approved at a Shareholders’ Meeting, is to focus most of the compensation packages on components subject to achievement of performance targets and the smallest part on fixed compensation. Most of the performance-linked components are focused on the share-based program, which has medium- and long-term scope. Both variable components have targets that are in line with Oi’s strategy and are intended to align officers’ interests with Oi’s mission, strategy and shareholders’ interests in the short, medium and long terms. The compensation strategy definitions and implementation adopted by the Company are monitored and supervised by the Board of Directors, through its People, Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee.

 

Board of Directors Stock Option Plan

 

The members of the Board of Directors and the Board’s committees receive fixed monthly fees. In addition, in order to align the Board members’ interests with the interests of the Company’s shareholders, in addition to bringing the compensation of Oi’s Board closer to comparable market compensation, the Company set a long-term share-based incentive plan for the Board of Directors (Board of Directors Stock Option Plan), which was submitted to and approved at an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 26, 2019.

A long-term incentives plan based on shares granted the Executives (Executives’ Stock Option Plan) was submitted to and approved at the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 26, 2019, together with the Board of Directors Stock Option Plan, described above. The Executives’ Stock Option Plan, like the Board of Directors Stock Option Plan, in addition to the targets already set out above, allows at the same time for making executive compensation more competitive compared to market compensation.

The plan provides for granting annual shares over a three-year period that shall not exceed 1.5% of the Company’s share capital.

 

The number of shares per grant is calculated individually for the purpose of maintaining the competitiveness of the executives with regard to the performance of their duties and shall be delivered to them provided that the plan’s performance condition is met.

 

The information used in the executives’ stock option plan’s assessment is as follows:

 

Grant date Stock dilution percentage Number of shares granted Vesting portions Vesting dates Average share value at the grant date Estimated fair value at the vesting date (i)
12/30/2019 0.57% 33,704,937 1/3 12/30/2020 0.95 34,406
1/3 12/30/2021
1/3 12/30/2022
12/30/2020 0.36% 21,549,687 1/3 12/30/2021 2.02 47,079
1/3 12/30/2022
1/3 12/30/2023

 

(i) The estimated fair value at the vesting date was measured taking into account the price of the shares granted on December 30, 2019 and December 30, 2020, adjusted by the weighted average cost of capital of 10.98% and 9.34%, respectively, estimated for the three-year period of the program, brought to present value at the period’s opportunity cost of 14.67% and 10.55%, respectively, which corresponds to the fair value of the share.

 

Changes in the stock option balance are summarized below:

 

  2020
Shares Average Share Price (R$)
Granted shares at Dec 31, 2019 33,704,937 0.95
Stock options 21,549,687 2.02
Settled shares granted (i) (14,128,406) 2.04
Granted shares at Dec 31, 2019 41,126,218 2.02

(i) In light of the existing practical obstacles that prevented the Company from issuing shares on time to meet the first vesting of shares under the 2019-2021 Plan, the Parties, by mutual agreement, decided that, for the purposes of delivering Shares related to the Plan, and consequent discharge of all obligations of said first vesting, the Company could fulfill its obligation to the Beneficiary with the payment in cash. As a result, the Company amended the stock option grant agreement to provide for the possibility of a cash settlement of the related obligations, in an amount corresponding to the number of shares that the beneficiary would be entitled each year of delivery of the vested stock options. In February 2021, the first vested stock options granted were settled based on the Company’s common stock price (OIBR3) at the close of the trading 45 days after the vesting date, as prescribed in the stock option grant agreement.

28.               SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company’s Board of Directors uses operating segment information for decision-making. The Company identified only one operating segment that excludes discontinued operations and corresponds to the telecommunications business in Brazil.

 

In addition to the telecommunications business in Brazil, the Company conducts other businesses that individually or in aggregate do not meet any of the quantitative indicators that would require their disclosure as reportable business segments. These businesses refer basically to the following companies Companhia Santomense de Telecomunicações, S.A. R.L. (“CSTT”) and Timor Telecom S.A., which provide fixed and mobile telecommunications services and publish telephone directories, and which have been consolidated since May 2014.

 

The revenue generation is assessed by the Board of Directors based on a view segmented by customer, into the following categories:

 

·Residential Services, focused on the sale of fixed telephony services, including voice services, data communication services (broadband);
·Personal Mobility considers only the Long-distance revenues originating from the Mobile Personal Service (SMP); and
·SMEs/Corporate, which includes corporate solutions for our small, medium-sized, and large corporate customers, as well as Digital and IT services (Oi Soluções).

Credit facilities

 

The Company may grant credit facilities to its subsidiaries for the purpose of providing working capital for their operating activities. In these cases, maturities can be rescheduled based on these companies’ projected cash flows and these facilities bear interest equivalent to 115% of CDI (115% of CDI in 2019). In the year ended December 31, 2020 there are no outstanding balances between group companies for this purpose since, as approved in the JRP, real-denominated intercompany claims for working capital purposes were extinguished by netting payables and receivables between the Brazilian RJ Debtors.

 

The intercompany credit facilities effective at December 31, 2020 are linked to the terms approved in the JRP. The intercompany claims not covered by said netting as provided for in the JRP were restructured and will be paid 20 years after the end of the settlement of all the claims paid under the terms and conditions of the Default Payment Method, adjusted using the TR for real-denominated credit facilities and changes in foreign exchange rates for international credit facilities. Additionally, credit facilities between the Company, a PTIF, and Oi Holanda were created since that in the context of the implementation of the JRP, the financial debt of the RJ Debtors were substantially consolidated in the Company, which issued financial and equity instruments to settle these debts originally recognized by said subsidiaries.

 

Guarantees

 

The Company and the other RJ Debtors are jointly and severally liable for the compliance of all obligations set forth by the JRP, as provided therefor.

(a)Sale of UPIs

 

As part of the Company’s judicial reorganization, described in Note 1 - General Information, more specifically Note 1-2. UPIs Provided for in the Amendment to the JRP, there is a requirement to create five Isolated Production Units (UPIs) comprising the assets, liabilities, and rights of the Debtors related to (a) the telephony and data operation in the mobile communications market (“UPI Mobile Assets”); the passive infrastructure (“UPI Towers” and “UPI Datacenter”); (c) telecommunications network operation (“UPI InfraCo”); and (d) the TV business (“UPI TVCo”).

 

The divestment of the UPIs would allow the Company to maximize the business value of its investments by expanding its residential and business access services nationwide, exploit more efficiently its network components, and create new business opportunities for the exploitation of these networks by offering them to other carriers and service providers in the telecommunications industry, in light with the governing laws, regulations and the required permits from competent authorities, where applicable.

 

The Amendment to the JRP contains detailed information on the composition of each UPI and the terms and conditions applicable to their disposal, including information on their structure and minimum price, available at www.recjud.com.br, for consultation purposes.

 

Information regarding the stage of the disposal of each of the UPIs is described in detail in Note 1 - General Information, subparagraphs 2.1 to 2.5 for each UPI.

 

The assets and liabilities related to the UPI Mobile Assets, UPI InfraCo, UPI TVCo, UPI Towers, and UPI Datacenter are classified as held for sale since their carrying amounts are being recovered primarily through sale transactions rather than through continuous use. The Company considers that the sale of these assets is highly probable, considering how the divestment plan of these assets is unfolding. The group of assets and liabilities of the UPIs are stated at the lower of carrying amounts and fair values less selling expenses.

The operations related to the UPI Mobile Assets, the UPI InfraCo, the UPI TVCo and the UPI Datacenter are classified as discontinued operations as they represent an important separate line of business and are an integral part of coordinated divestment plan. The Company considers that the operations of UPI Towers do not represent a separate line of business and the revenues and expenses associated with these assets are presented under the full consolidation method in the statement of profit or loss.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

The plan to implement the corporate restructuring in order to segregate and sell the UPIs, in the form of the Amendment to the JRP, generated a change in the information on the operating segments that excludes discontinued operations and is presented considering the business segments that will not be transferred to the UPIs, i.e., the continuing business segments that will remain in the Company.

 

It is worth noting that for December 31, 2020, Management continues to consider discontinued and continuing operations together for monitoring and tracking the performance of the service offerings from the segmented per customer standpoint, and even with regard to the resources to be allocated for performance evaluation and strategic decisions, which are consistent with the internal reports provided to the Company’s chief decision-making body, the Board of Directors

Oi’s management was authorized to take all the necessary steps to sell the investments in Africa and in Asia

(c)Operations in Africa - Approval of preparatory actions for the sale of Africatel

 

On January 24, 2020, subsidiary Africatel Holdings B.V. (“Africatel”) sold and transferred on that date all the PT Ventures shares to Angolan company Sociedade Nacional de Combustíveis de Angola, Empresa Pública – Sonangol E.P., after the proper approvals by the Company’s Board of Directors, by the competent management bodies of Africatel, and the Judicial Reorganization court as provided for in the Judicial Reorganization Plan and the Company’s JRP and Strategic Plan.

 

On the transaction date, PT Ventures held stakes in the Angolan companies Unitel, S.A. (“Unitel”) (25%) and Multitel - Serviços de Telecomunicações Lda. (40%), as well as credit rights to dividends declared by Unitel and already past due and a set of rights resulting from the final decision rendered by the Arbitration Court installed under the Arbitration Rules of the ICC, within the scope of the arbitration initiated by PT Ventures at the ICC against the other Unitel shareholders, as disclosed by the Company in a Material Fact Notice on February 28, 2019.

 

The transaction amount was US$1 billion, of which: (i) US$699.1 million were paid to Africatel by Sonangol on January 24, 2020; (ii) US$60.9 million were paid to Africatel before the transfer of the shares to PT Ventures; and (iii) US$240 million were paid by Sonangol to Africatel, in installments, from February to July 31, 2020.

 

As a result of this operation, the Company is no longer bound by the ongoing litigation involving PT Ventures, Unitel, and Unitel’s other shareholders.

 

Considering that there are few deals left involving foreign assets to be disposed of and that these relate basically to Companhia Santomense de Telecomunicações, S.A.R.L. (“CST”), Timor Telecom, S.A.,and telephone directory companies, the Company maintained in the group of held-for-sale foreign assets the investments in CST, since on October 20, 2020 subsidiary Africatel signed a “Share Purchase and Sale Agreement and Assignment of Receivables” for the disposal of its shares in CST, and submitted to the government of São Tomé and Príncipe a request for approval of the transaction.

The investigation, which has neither the Company nor any of its current officers as defendants, is based on a suspected transfer of several companies to Gamecorp and Grupo Gol, in exchange for alleged benefits from the Federal Government. As a result of such investigation, Company buildings in the States of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and in Brasília were searched and documented were seized. Since then, the Company has cooperated with the investigations by making all the clarifications and delivering all the documents requested.

Because of this decision, the defense attorneys of the individuals involved have filed requests for reconsideration and a strict appeal so that the investigation remains under the jurisdiction of the 10th Federal Court of São Paulo.

 

Among the initiatives undertaken, the Company engaged an independent external auditor to conduct a forensic investigation to cover all the allegations made in the case record and created a Multidisciplinary Committee consisting of members from different departments, such as the legal, compliance, internal audit and accounting department, to determine the main procedures to be performed, and set a schedule of relevant activities in response to the allegations of said investigation involving the Company and its subsidiaries. In this regard, the Multidisciplinary Committee determined the following procedures: (i) retain a renowned, specialized law firm, independent from the Company and its subsidiaries, to conduct an internal investigation on the allegations made in the Federal Public Prosecution Office (MPF) and the Brazilian Federal Police (PF) investigations; (ii) request an assessment by the outside legal counsel of the results of said internal investigation to be conducted by the specialized law firm, if applicable; (iii) request an assessment by the outside legal counsel of possible legal and regulatory impacts in Brazil and in the United States, regarding all allegations made in the investigation, considering the applicable anticorruption legislation and/or illegal activities; (iv) request an assessment by the compliance department to determine whether any material weaknesses in the internal control environment existing at the time covered by the investigations still persist in the current Company governance and internal control scenario; (v) conduct periodic meetings to follow up on the status of the assessments to be carried out; and (vi) submit of the results of all assessments to be carried out to the members of the Audit, Risk and Controls Committee (“CARC”), which reports to the Company’s Board of Directors. In this context, the specialized law firm completed its internal independent investigation in February 2020, based on interviews, information, and documentation submitted by the Company’s management and taking into consideration the constraints imposed by the time period covered by said investigation (2003-2019), and did not identify any indications of illegalities committed by the Company linked to the allegations made by the MPF and the PF in the “Operation: Mine Plan” investigation. This internal use report was extensively discussed and presented to the members of the Multidisciplinary Committee, as well as to the members of the CARC.

 

(c)                Potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

 

On January 31, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that COVID-19 was a global health emergency and in March the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic that has caused death and the imposition of measures that have caused unprecedented social and economic impacts in Brazil and the world.

 

The Company understands the key role of telecommunications for society, is complying with the health and safety recommendations issued by the authorities, and has been monitoring the situation and how it unfolds and its possible impacts. For this reason, since March 2020, the Company has maintained a multidisciplinary crisis response team focused on ensuring the continuity of its operation and services to customers, the health of its employees, and monitoring actions to fight the impacts of the pandemic.

The main measures adopted by the Company include:

·home office: approximately 84% of the workforce is working remotely and have been able to perform their duties without any interruption;
·safe fieldwork: employees whose activities are not compatible with the home office work, such as outside service technicians (classified by the authorities as an essential workers), follow health and preventive protocols, including the use of PPE (personal protection equipment), tests, and the timely isolation of any suspected or confirmed cases;
·focus on the client: the Company has instituted some transitional measures to assist its customers during the pandemic, for example, providing deferrals of payment deadlines upon request of its customers and, in some cases, entering into payment plans with some of its customers under which it will forbear the collection of interest and late charges, as applicable;
·stock coverage: we maintain regular communications with our suppliers and service providers in order to ensure timely delivery of inputs and equipment and prevent disruptions in our logistics and supply chain;
·strengthening the network: the Company responded quickly to the increased demand for telecom services and activated new circuits in its backbone infrastructure that did not suffer any significant decline even with the increase in traffic.

 

From March to May 2020, local and regional authorities promoted and implemented social distancing and lockdown measures and issued decrees limiting noncore business operations, which resulted in the shutdown of the Company’s retail stores and distribution channels of its mobile service, impacting, for example, revenue from prepaid recharges. In contrast, there has been a significant increase in demand for our broadband services, specifically FTTH services, from both residential and B2B customers.

Beginning June 2020, many states and municipalities began the process of gradually reopening and easing restrictive measures. Thus, the Company resumed the activities of its own stores, pursuant to all established protocols, even though the situations in each location will continue to be monitored in case of any change.

Even though the scenario is adverse and there are still uncertainties regarding the duration and effects of the pandemic, including new pandemic “waves” with an increase in the number of confirmed cases, to date we have no records of material deviations in our operations and results and have preventively maintained all mitigation actions already adopted. In addition, the Company has intensified and maintains the digitalization of processes, sales and services, telemarketing and teleagent channels, which has allowed a rapid and growing recovery and resumption of pre-COVID levels, so that as in September 2020, the indicators point to levels of relative normality or within the expected levels for the period, while continuing to be monitored.

 

(d)               Capital increase in subsidiary

 

The Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of indirect subsidiary BrT Multimídia held on June 8, 2020 approved its capital increase in the amount of R$822,673,091.98, without the issuance of new shares, which was fully subscribed and paid in by Oi Móvel, also an indirect subsidiary of the Company, through the assignment of net assets comprised of (i) property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of Oi Móvel, the Fiber-to-the-Home (“FTTH”) class; (ii) part of the usage and consumption supplies acquired for use in the expansion of FTTH; and (iii) the balance of dividends payable.

(e)                Corporate restructuring to form the UPI Towers

 

On July 1, 2020, Telemar merged its direct subsidiary Dommo Empreendimentos Imobiliários Ltda. (“Dommo”), which was wound up and was succeeded by Telemar for all intents and purposes. Since all Dommo’s shares were held by Telemar, the merger had no impact on Telemar’s issued capital, there was no capital increase or capital reduction, and no new shares were issued.

 

Later, on August 3, 2020, the subsidiary of Telemar, Caliteia RJ Infraestrutura e Redes de Telecomunicações S.A. (“Caliteia”), promoted an increase in its capital stock, amounting approximately R$35 million, which was subscribed and paid in by Telemar and Oi Móvel, through the transfer to Caliteia of outdoor and indoor telecommunications towers, as well as contractual rights and obligations related to its operations.

 

The merger of Dommo and the capital increase of Caliteia are in line with the Company’s Strategic Plan and the draft Amendment to the JRP and are stages of the corporate and equity restructuring process of the Oi Companies described in the JRP, aimed at optimizing their operations, assets and liabilities and, more specifically, the formation of the UPI Towers.

(g)               Resignation Incentive Plan

 

In a notice to the market issued on October 9, 2020, the Company informed its shareholders and the market in general the launch of a Resignation Incentive Plan, the purpose of which was to reduce around 2,000 jobs, which could represent up to 15% of its headcount.

 

Employees who joined the Resignation Incentive Plan were entitled to special severance conditions which include severance pay based on the length of service at the company and extension of benefits such as health plan, dental plan, and life insurance, among other special benefits.

 

The Resignation Incentive Plan was the result of the evolution of the business model caused by the implementation of the Oi’s Strategic Plan and the natural need for readjustments to organizational structures, in line with the Amendment to the Company’s Judicial Reorganization Plan, ratified by a decision awarded by the Court of the 7th Corporate Court of the Rio de Janeiro State Court of Justice on October 5, 2020 and issued on October 8, 2020.

 

As already widely disclosed by the Company, Oi’s Strategic Plan focuses on the wide dissemination of fiber optics in Brazil, as a key component of all landline and mobile telecommunications services, aiming at transforming the Company into the largest telecommunications infrastructure provider in the country.

 

As a result, the Company incurred expenses totaling R$85 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)

The assets and liabilities related to the UPI Mobile Assets, UPI InfraCo, UPI TVCo, UPI Towers, and UPI Datacenter are classified as held for sale since their carrying amounts are being recovered primarily through sale transactions rather than through continuous use. The Company considers that the sale of these assets is highly probable, considering how the divestment plan of these assets is unfolding. The group of assets and liabilities of the UPIs are stated at the lower of carrying amounts and fair values less selling expenses.

 

The operations related to the UPI Mobile Assets, the UPI InfraCo, the UPI TVCo and the UPI Datacenter are classified as discontinued operations as they represent an important separate line of business and are an integral part of coordinated divestment plan. The Company considers that the operations of UPI Towers do not represent a separate line of business and the revenues and expenses associated with these assets are presented under the full consolidation method in the statement of profit or loss.

 

The impacts of applying CPC 31/IFRS 5 are disclosed in Note 31 (a). In the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2020, R$20,625,007 was reclassified to held-for-sale assets and R$9,152,947 was reclassified to liabilities associated with held-for-sale assets, and the amounts R$519,372 and R$866,453 in profit from discontinued operations were reclassified in consolidated profit or loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(a)        Labor Claims

 

The Amendment to the JRP also prescribes that labor creditors whose claims had not been fully settled by the date of the New GCM would have their claims up to a total of R$50,000 paid within 30 days of ratification of the Amendment to the JRP, provided that said labor claims (i) were listed in the trustee’s list of creditors; (ii) were the subject of a final and unappealable court decision that terminated the underlying lawsuit and ratified the amount due to the related creditor; or (iii) in the case of creditors entitled to recover lawyers’ fee, a decision was rendered in the event of claim qualification or challenge filed by the date of the New GCM, provided that they elect this form of payment.

 

In 2020, the Company made payments provided for in the Amendment to the JRP totaling R$7,322 to labor creditors (Class I) in the context of the Judicial Reorganization.

 

(b)       Collateralized claims

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
