P3055Q103 (Class D. Shares) Page 12 of 23 Pages 204429101 (ADSs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- similar misdemeanors) or have been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs: On September 25, 2001, an affiliate of The AES Corporation ("AES") commenced concurrent tender offers in Venezuela and the United States for shares (including Class D Shares) and ADSs of Issuer (the "AES Tender Offers"). The AES Tender Offers are scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on October 29, 2001, unless otherwise extended. Verizon has carefully evaluated the AES Tender Offers and has determined not to tender pursuant to such offers any of the shares or ADSs of Issuer that it beneficially owns and controls. Also, on October 9, 2001, Verizon publicly stated that it was urging other shareholders of Issuer not to tender their shares or ADSs pursuant to the AES Tender Offers. The reasons for Verizon's determination and recommendations are set forth on a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Form 14D-9 filed by Verizon with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 10, 2001. On October 7, 2001, Issuer announced that, among other things, it had called a special shareholders meeting for October 24, 2001 for the purpose of considering the distribution of an extraordinary dividend and to approve a share repurchase program. Verizon favors an extraordinary dividend and the repurchase of shares by the Issuer and is urging the Issuer to pursue such a course of action.
