The implementation of the Transaction shall initially take place through GB’s partial spin-off, with the subsequent merger of the spun-off assets, composed exclusively of NET shares, with an existing entity, EG Participações S.A., a corporation headquartered in the City and State of Rio de Janeiro at Rua Regente Feijó 66, 16th floor, CEP 20060-060, registered in the Corporate Taxpayer Registry of the Ministry of Finance under CNPJ/MF No. 15.637.676/0001-68 (“EG”), whose controlling shareholder is and shall continue to be Embrapar, with Globo participating as a minority shareholder as a result of the Transaction.
The parties to the Transaction have further agreed that the NET shares directly held by Embrapar and Embratel shall be contributed to GB, a company controlled by Embrapar and holder of the Company’s majority voting capital, as a capital increase.
In the context of the Transaction, it was further agreed that the terms and conditions of the existing GB’s shareholders agreement shall continue to govern the relationship between Embrapar and Globo, which shall also apply to EG until the time that a new shareholders agreement between EG and NET, currently being reviewed by ANATEL for compliance with the regulatory requirements of Law 12,485/11 and is duly approved.
Finally, in compliance with the provisions set forth in Article 12 of CVM’s Normative Instruction No. 358/02, by virtue of this Transaction, the Company hereby announces that: (a) GB will hold 89,446,769 common shares and 223,080,448 preferred shares issued by NET corresponding to 78.15% of its voting capital and 97.63% of its nonvoting capital; and (b) EG will hold 14,080,704 common shares issued by NET corresponding to 12.30% of its voting capital.
