As reported in the Issuer’s 2011 20-F, as of April 26, 2011, the Issuer had 203,423,176 issued Common Shares and 399,597,370 issued preferred shares, including 13,231,556 preferred shares held in treasury.

The Reporting Persons’ economic position in Oi S.A., direct and indirect, is 23.27%. See Items 4 and 5 for more information.

 

Item 4.                       Purpose of Transaction

 

The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 4.

 

Strategic Partnership with the Oi Companies

 

The purpose of the Reporting Persons’ strategic partnership with the Oi Companies, including the Reporting Persons’ investment in the Issuer, is to develop a global telecommunications platform that will allow for cooperation in diverse areas, with a view to, among other things, sharing best practices, achieving economies of scale, implementing research and development initiatives, developing new technologies, diversifying the services provided to their customers, maximizing synergies and reducing costs, and seeking to offer constant high quality services to their corporate and individual customers, while creating and adding value for their shareholders.

 

In connection with this strategic partnership, it was contemplated that the Oi Companies would use part of the proceeds received from share capital increases to acquire up to 10% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Portugal Telecom. On April 28, 2011, TmarPart, TNL and Telemar jointly filed a Statement on Schedule 13D (the “April 2011 Schedule 13D”) to report

 

12



 

Schedule 13D

 

that Telemar had acquired 62,755,860 ordinary shares of Portugal Telecom, representing 7.0% of Portugal Telecom’s outstanding ordinary shares. As of January 23, 2012, the Oi Companies beneficially owned 64,557,566 ordinary shares of Portugal Telecom, representing 7.2% of Portugal Telecom’s outstanding ordinary shares.  On May 29, 2012, TmarPart, Oi S.A. and Telemar filed an amendment to the April 2011 Schedule 13D to report that they had acquired additional ordinary shares of Portugal Telecom in open market purchases, and now beneficially own 89,651,205 ordinary shares of Portugal Telecom, representing 10.0% of Portugal Telecom’s total ordinary shares.

 

Also in connection with the formation this partnership, Portugal Telecom and Bratel Brasil have entered into various shareholders’ agreements with the Oi Companies’ current shareholders in order to regulate corporate governance practices within the Oi Companies, establish the rules, procedures and quorums for the approval of certain matters by the Oi Companies’ boards of directors, boards of executive officers and within the Oi Companies’ shareholder structure, rights of first offer or first refusal in the sale of Oi Companies’ shares by its shareholders, tag-along rights and other provisions. These rights allow Portugal Telecom to play an active role in the Oi Companies’ corporate governance and are described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D. For example, the shareholders’ agreements contemplate, among other things, (1) a lock-up period for Portugal Telecom, Andrade Gutierrez Telecomunicações Ltda. and Jereissati Telecom of five years with respect to their ownership interests in AG, Pasa Participações S.A., LF Tel, EDSP75 Participações S.A. and TmarPart, a right of first refusal over a non-control sale of AG Telecom and LF Tel and over any sale of TmarPart, and a right of first offer and tag-along rights in case of a control sale of AG Telecom and LF Tel and (2) the need for Portugal Telecom’s approval on certain corporate governance matters, including: (i) amendments to bylaws, (ii) mergers and acquisitions and shareholders agreements, (iii) dissolution, (iv) capital increases or reductions, (v) issuances of debt securities above a specified ratio and (vi) the annual budget and investments.

 

Board Representation

 

In connection with the strategic partnership with the Oi Companies, in April 2011, Zeinal Bava, the Chief Executive Officer of Portugal Telecom, was appointed a member of the board of directors of TmarPart, and Shakhaf Wine, an executive board member of Portugal Telecom, was appointed an alternate member of the board of directors of TmarPart.  In addition, on April 28, 2011, at TNL’s annual general shareholders meeting, Mr. Bava and Mr. Wine were elected as members of the board of directors of TNL, as Portugal Telecom had announced on April 6, 2011.

 

On April 18, 2012, following the Corporate Reorganization described below, Mr. Bava and Mr. Wine were elected as members of the board of directors of Oi S.A.

 

In addition, on April 6, 2011, Otávio Marques de Azevedo, the Chairman of TmarPart and then a member of the board of directors of TNL, and Pedro Jereissati, Chief Executive Officer, Investor Relations Officer and a member of the board of directors of TmarPart, were appointed to the board of directors of Portugal Telecom, and their appointment was ratified at the general meeting of shareholders of Portugal Telecom held on May 6, 2011.

Schedule 13D

 

Reorganization of the Oi Companies

 

Based solely on the information provided by the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on February 29, 2012 by TmarPart, Valverde and TNL with respect to the Issuer (the “TmarPart Schedule 13D”), on April 5, 2011, TmarPart began internal discussions regarding a new proposal to simplify the corporate structure of the Oi Companies. TmarPart engaged financial advisors and legal advisors during April 2011 to assist them in evaluating potential alternative corporate structures. These internal discussions continued during April and May 2011, becoming more frequent during May 2011. During April and May 2011, TNL and its subsidiaries provided information regarding the operations and financial condition of TNL and its subsidiaries to TmarPart to assist in evaluating such proposal.

 

Steps of the Corporate Reorganization

 

As a result of these discussions, TmarPart publicly announced a corporate reorganization (the “Corporate Reorganization”) on May 24, 2011. The Corporate Reorganization was effectively completed on February 27, 2012 and consisted of the following steps:

 

·                  a split-off and share exchange under Brazilian law in which (1) Telemar transferred the shares of Coari that Telemar owned to Coari, (2) Coari assumed a portion of the liabilities of Telemar, (3) the common and preferred shares of Telemar (other than the shares of holders who exercised their withdrawal rights with respect to such shares) would be exchanged for newly issued common and preferred shares of Coari upon the termination of the period for exercise of withdrawal rights, and (4) Coari retained the Telemar shares exchanged for Coari shares, and as a result, Telemar became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coari;

 

·                  the merger of Coari into Brasil Telecom, resulting in Coari ceasing to exist and Telemar becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brasil Telecom; and

 

·                  the merger of TNL into Brasil Telecom, resulting in TNL ceasing to exist.

 

In connection with the Corporate Reorganization, Brasil Telecom issued and distributed redeemable shares of Brasil Telecom to holders of Brasil Telecom shares prior to the mergers of Coari and TNL into Brasil Telecom and redeemed those shares for cash immediately following their issuance. In addition, Brasil Telecom was renamed Oi S.A.

 

As a result of these transactions, TmarPart became the direct controlling shareholder of Oi S.A.

 

The period for the exercise of withdrawal rights by holders of Telemar common and preferred shares and holders of TNL preferred shares expired on March 29, 2012, and the final settlement of the Corporate Reorganization occurred on April 9, 2012.

Schedule 13D

 

Related Share Exchange

 

In connection with the Corporate Reorganization, the Reporting Persons entered into certain share exchanges intended to maximize the voting control of the Issuer by TmarPart, which extended an offer to its shareholders to exchange the class A preferred shares of Telemar that it held for common shares of TNL.  Pursuant to agreements entered into on August 17, 2011 and later amended, on February 24, 2012, TmarPart exchanged all of the class A preferred shares of Telemar that it owned for common shares of TNL held by Jereissati Telecom, Andrade Gutierrez S.A., the parent of AG Telecom, and Bratel Brasil, each a shareholder of TmarPart. As part of this transaction, Bratel Brasil exchanged 20,665,465 common shares of TNL that it held for 12,372,524 class A preferred shares of Telemar held by TmarPart, and on April 26, 2012, Bratel Brasil exchanged 15,385,334 preferred shares of Oi S.A. (which it received in exchange for class A preferred shares of Telemar in the Corporate Reorganization) for 13,341,303 Common Shares held by Jereissati Telecom, Andrade Gutierrez S.A., AG Telecom and LF Tel. All these exchanges were undertaken using the same effective exchange ratios applicable in the Corporate Reorganization. We refer to these exchanges, collectively, as the “Related Share Exchange.”

 

Reasons for the Corporate Reorganization

 

The Corporate Reorganization was undertaken to:

 

·                  simplify the corporate structure of the Oi Companies, which was extremely complex and included three publicly-held companies with seven different classes of publicly-traded shares, and simplify the corporate governance of the Oi Companies by consolidating the shareholder bases of the Oi Companies in one public company with two classes of shares traded in Brazil and abroad;

 

·                  reduce operational, administrative and financial costs following the consolidation of the general management of the Oi Companies, the simplification of their capital structure, and the improvement of their ability to attract investments and access the capital markets;

 

·                  align the interests of the shareholders of the Oi Companies;

 

·                  enhance the liquidity of the shares of Oi S.A. (formerly Brasil Telecom); and

 

·                  eliminate the costs of separate listings of the shares of TNL, Telemar and Oi S.A., as well as those costs arising from separately complying with the public disclosure requirements applicable to TNL, Telemar and Brasil Telecom.

 

Other Plans or Proposals

 

The Reporting Persons expect to engage in discussions with management, the board of directors, other shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning the Issuer, which discussions may include considering one or more of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Schedule 13D

 

Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the Reporting Persons best knowledge, any of the persons listed in Exhibit 2 hereto, has any present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons, however, retain their rights to acquire additional Common Shares, to sell some or all of the Common Shares or to modify their plans with respect to any matters of the type described in sections (a)-(j) of Item 4.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

The information set forth in Items 2 and 3 and on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5.

 

Item 5(a) and (b)

 

Information as to Common Shares of the Issuer that May Be Deemed to Be Beneficially Owned by the Reporting Persons

 

The Issuer has two outstanding classes of share capital: Common Shares and Preferred Shares, both without par value. Generally, only the Issuer’s Common Shares have voting rights. The Issuer’s Preferred Shares have voting rights only in specified circumstances.

 

As of April 25, 2012, according to the Issuer’s 2012 20-F, the number of total issued Common Shares is 599,008,629, which gives effect to the Corporate Reorganization. Of those shares, 84,250,952 Common Shares are held in treasury, so that the number of total issued and outstanding Common Shares is 514,757,677.

 

After giving effect to the Corporate Reorganization and the Related Share Exchange, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, directly and indirectly, 326,917,780 Common Shares, or 63.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, based on the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares reported in the Issuer’s 2012 20-F. Of these Common Shares:

 

·                  the Reporting Persons directly owned 36,367,992 Common Shares, or 7.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares; and

 

·                  the Reporting Persons held a direct and indirect interest in TmarPart (as detailed below), which held 290,549,788 Common Shares, or 56.4% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, of which 249,734,834 were held directly by TmarPart and 40,814,954 were held by TmarPart’s subsidiary Valverde, according to the Issuer’s 2012 20-F.

 

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons hold their interest in TmarPart as follows:

 

·                  the Reporting Persons directly own 352,856,588 common shares of TmarPart, or 12.1% of the total issued common shares of TmarPart (in addition to preferred shares of TmarPart, which are not reported on this Schedule 13D);

 

16



 

Schedule 13D

 

·                  the Reporting Persons own an indirect 35% stake in AG Telecom, which owns 565,880,376 common shares of TmarPart, or 19.4% of the total issued shares of TmarPart; and

 

·                  the Reporting Persons own an indirect 35% stake in LF Tel, which owns 565,880,372 common shares of TmarPart, or 19.4% of the total issued shares of TmarPart.

 

Pursuant to the shareholders’ agreements described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a group that shares the power to vote and the power to dispose of all the shares of the Issuer that are beneficially owned by TmarPart. In particular, pursuant to the Global Shareholders’ Agreement (as defined in Item 6), Bratel Brasil will hold pre-meetings prior to shareholders’ and board of directors’ meetings of the material subsidiaries of TmarPart, including the Issuer, and will vote their TmarPart shares in accordance with decisions made at pre-meetings. In addition, pursuant to the Global Shareholders’ Agreement, the sale of the shares issued by the material subsidiaries of TmarPart, including the Issuer, and certain other matters must be approved by a 87.4% majority. The Reporting Persons disclaim membership in any such group and disclaim beneficial ownership of the Common Shares of the Issuer held by TmarPart, other than with respect to their proportionate interest in those shares.

 

All the direct and indirect interests of the Reporting Persons in the Oi Companies are held through Bratel Brasil. Each of the other Reporting Persons directly and indirectly holds 100% of the common shares of Bratel Brasil (or, in the case of Bratel B.V., holds 99% of the common shares of Bratel Brasil, with the remaining 1% of such common shares held by another subsidiary of Portugal Telecom).

 

According to the Schedule 13D jointly filed by Andrade Gutierrez Telecomunicações Ltda., Pasa Participações S.A. and AG Telecom Participações S.A. on February 29, 2012, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on May 2, 2012 (the “AG Schedule 13D”), Otávio Marques de Azevedo, the Chairman of the board of directors of TmarPart and a non-executive member of the board of directors of Portugal Telecom, held 86 Common Shares as of April 27, 2012. Mr. Marques de Azevedo disclaims beneficial ownership of any Common Shares he does not own directly.

 

In addition, according to the Schedule 13D jointly filed by Jereissati Telecom S.A., EDSP 75 Participações S.A. and LF Tel S.A. on February 29, 2012, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on May 2, 2012 (the “LF Schedule 13D”), Pedro Jereissati, the Chief Executive Officer, Investor Relations Officer, a member of the board of directors of TmarPart and a non-executive member of the board of directors of Portugal Telecom, held 7 Common Shares as of April 27, 2012.  Mr. Jereissati is also the Executive Vice President of the Jereissati Group and an executive officer of LF Tel and Jereissati Telecom. Mr. Jereissati disclaims beneficial ownership of any Common Shares he does not own directly.

 

The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by such directors and executive officers.

(“Fiago”), and Fundação Atlântico de Seguridade Social (“FASS”) as parties, with TmarPart, PREVI — Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil (“PREVI”), PETROS — Fundação Petrobrás de Seguridade Social (“PETROS”), FUNCEF — Fundação dos Economiários Federais (“FUNCEF”) and Andrade Gutierrez Investimentos em Telecomunicações S.A., as intervening parties (the “Global Shareholders’ Agreement”) and (2) the Shareholders’ Agreement among AG Telecom, LF Tel, Asseca and FASS as parties, with TmarPart and Andrade Gutierrez Investimentos em Telecomunicações S.A., as intervening parties (the “Control Group Shareholders’ Agreement”).

 

On June 20, 2008, the 352,730,590 common shares of TmarPart owned by Asseca were distributed to LF Tel and Andrade Gutierrez Investimentos em Telecomunicações S.A., with each receiving 176,365,295 common shares of TmarPart. As a result, Asseca is no longer a shareholder of TmarPart and has no rights under the Global Shareholders’ Agreement or the Control Group Shareholders’ Agreement.

 

In July 2009, Fiago distributed the shares of TmarPart that it held to PREVI, PETROS, FUNCEF and FASS. As a result of this distribution, Fiago is no longer a shareholder of TmarPart and has no rights under the Global Shareholders’ Agreement.

 

On January 25, 2011, TmarPart’s shareholders amended the Global Shareholders’ Agreement and the Control Group Shareholders’ Agreement to reflect the acquisition of voting shares of TmarPart by Bratel Brasil and to increase the quorum requirements to hold pre-meetings and approve certain designated matters. These amendments were effective as of March 28, 2011. The amendment to the Global Shareholders’ Agreement was entered into among AG Telecom, BNDESPar, PREVI, FASS, FUNCEF, PETROS, LF Tel and Bratel Brasil, as parties, with TmarPart and Portugal Telecom, as intervening parties. The amendment to the Control Group Shareholders’ Agreement was entered into among AG Telecom, LF Tel and FASS, as parties, with TmarPart, as intervening party.

The description of the terms of the Control Group Shareholders’ Agreement contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Control Group Shareholders’ Agreement and the amendments thereto, which are filed as Exhibits 3 and 4 to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Pasa Participações S.A. and EDSP75 Shareholders’ Agreements

 

Part of the structure used by the Reporting Persons in order to obtain their interest in the Oi Companies was to acquire an indirect 35% stake in AG Telecom and in LF Tel, through a direct investment in Pasa Participações S.A. (“Pasa”) and EDSP75 Participações S.A. (“EDSP75”), respectively. The Reporting Persons have a 35% direct economic stake in Pasa and the remaining 65% economic interest in the company is held by Andrade Gutierrez Telecomunicações Ltda. Likewise, the Reporting Persons have a 35% direct economic stake in

 

25



 

Schedule 13D

 

EDSP75 and the remaining 65% economic interest in the company is held by Jereissati Telecom S.A. AG Telecom is wholly owned by Pasa, and LF Tel is wholly owned by EDSP75.

 

In connection with the investments in Pasa and EDSP75, on January 25, 2011, the Reporting Persons entered into two shareholders’ agreements, one with Andrade Gutierrez Telecomunicações Ltda. (in relation to Pasa Participações S.A.) (the “Pasa Shareholders’ Agreement”) and another with Jereissati Telecom S.A. (in relation to EDSP75 Participações S.A.) (the “EDPS75 Shareholders’ Agreement”). The initial terms of these shareholders’ agreements expire on April 25, 2048 but may be extended for successive periods of 10 years with the consent of each of the parties.

 

These shareholders’ agreements are intended to coordinate the corporate governance of Pasa and EDSP75 and streamline the decision-making process between the Reporting Persons, Andrade Gutierrez Telecomunicações Ltda., Jereissati Participações S.A. and Portugal Telecom in connection with the Reporting Persons’ investments in the Oi Companies. These shareholders’ agreements provide that, among other things:

 

·                  pre-meetings are to be held between the shareholders to decide in advance the matters to be analyzed during pre-meetings to be held under the Global Shareholders’ Agreement and the Control Group Shareholders’ Agreement; and

 

·                  approval of certain matters are subject supermajority vote of the shareholders, including:

 

·                  approval of, and amendments to, the annual budget of Pasa, EDSP75, AG Telecom and LF Tel are subject to an 83% majority vote;

 

·                  the entering by Pasa, EDSP75, AG Telecom or LF Tel into any loan agreements in excess of R$50 million, or the entering into any agreement imposing a pecuniary obligation on Pasa, EDSP75, AG Telecom or LF Tel in excess of R$50 million, or the granting of any guarantees by Pasa, EDSP75, AG Telecom or LF Tel in excess of R$50 million, are subject to a 90% majority vote; and

 

·                  any amendments to the Global Shareholders’ Agreement or the issuance of preferred shares by Pasa, EDSP75, AG Telecom or LF Tel, the approval of any decision subject to supermajority vote under the Global Shareholders’ Agreement (defined as a “material decision” under the Pasa Shareholders’ Agreement and the EDSP75 Shareholders’ Agreement, among other matters, are subject to the unanimous vote of the shareholders.

 

In addition, as long as the Reporting Persons hold at least 17% of the voting and total share capital of each of Pasa and EDSP75, the Reporting Persons have the right to appoint one member to the board of executive officers of each of these companies. On the other hand, reduction in Bratel Brasil’s interest in Pasa or EDSP75 may change some of its rights under these

 

26



 

Schedule 13D

 

agreements and in connection with the Global Shareholders’ Agreement. For example, should Bratel Brasil’s interest in Pasa or EDSP75 be reduced to less than 20.5% of the voting share capital of either of these companies, approval of certain “material decisions,” as defined in the preceding paragraph, subject to a 75% majority vote under the Global Shareholders’ Agreement (for instance, approval of changes to the bylaws of TmarPart) would no longer require Bratel Brasil’s consent.

 

These shareholders’ agreements also contemplate:

 

·                  rights of first offer to the shareholders with respect to the transfer of the shares issued by Pasa and EDSP75;

 

·                  tag-along rights for the benefit of Portugal Telecom in case of the sale of Pasa and EDSP75 shares by AGT or Jereissati Telecom, as the case may be;

 

·                  a general restriction on the sale of the shares issued by Pasa and EDSP75 by Andrade Gutierrez Telecomunicações or Jereissati Telecom, as the case may be, to competitors of Portugal Telecom; and

 

·                  a general right to PREVI, PETROS, FUNCEF and BNDESPAR, while they remain shareholders of TmarPart, or to any third parties which may acquire the shares held by these companies in TmarPart, to substitute Andrade Gutierrez Telecomunicações Ltda. or Jereissati Telecom in the exercise of their preemptive rights under the Pasa Shareholders’ Agreement and the EDSP75 Shareholders’ Agreement in case Portugal Telecom or one of its subsidiaries sells its shares in Pasa and/or EDSP75.

 

The description of the terms of the EDSP75 Shareholders’ Agreement and the Pasa Shareholders’ Agreement contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Pasa Shareholders’ Agreement and the EDSP75 Shareholders’ Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 7 and 8, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
