1.                Presentation

 

            Due to a series of economic and financial factors that affected Oi Group’s transactions (as defined below) and contributed to the worsening of its financial situation, the following companies OI S.A. – Under Judicial Reorganization (“Oi”), a publicly-held company, registered with the National Register of Legal Entities of the Ministry of Finance (CNPJ/MF) under No. 76.535.764/0001-43, with its registered office and principal place of business at Rua do Lavradio nº 71, Centro, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, ZIP CODE 20230-070; TELEMAR NORTE LESTE S.A. – Under Judicial Reorganization (“Telemar”), a closely-held company, registered with the CNPJ/MF under No. 33.000.118/0001-79, with its registered office and principal place of business at Rua do Lavradio nº 71, Centro, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, ZIP CODE 20230-070; OI MÓVEL S.A. – Under Judicial Reorganization (“Oi Móvel”), a closely-held company, registered with the CNPJ/MF under No. 05.423.963/0001-11, with its registered office and principal place of business in Setor Comercial Norte, Quadra 3, Bloco A, Edifício Estação Telefônica, térreo (parte 2), Brasília - DF, [sic.] in Setor Comercial Norte, Quadra 3, Bloco A, Edifício Estação Telefônica, térreo (parte 2), ZIP CODE 70.713-900; PORTUGAL TELECOM INTERNATIONAL FINANCE B.V. – Under Judicial Reorganization (“PTIF”), a private limited company organized according to the Laws of the Netherlands, with its registered office in Amsterdam, Delflandlaan 1 (Queens Tower), Office 705, 1062 EA, and principal place of business in this City of Rio de Janeiro; and OI BRASIL HOLDINGS COÖPERATIEF U.A. – Under Judicial Reorganization (“Oi Coop”), a private limited company organized according to the Laws of the Netherlands, registered with the CNPJ/MF under No. 16.770.090/0001-30, with its registered office in Amsterdam, Delflandlaan 1 (Queens Tower), Office 705, 1062 EA, and principal place of business in this City of Rio de Janeiro (Oi, Telemar, Oi Móvel, PTIF and Oi Coop jointly hereinafter referred to as “Oi Group” or “Debtors), together with the companies COPART 4 PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. – Under Judicial Reorganization and COPART 5 PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. – Under Judicial Reorganization, which were subsequently merged with and into Telemar and Oi, respectively, on June 20, 2016, filed for Judicial Reorganization (“Judicial Reorganization”) before the 7th Commercial Court of the Judicial District of the Capital City-RJ (“Judicial Reorganization Court”). On June 29, 2016, the request for processing the Judicial Reorganization of Oi Group was granted by the Judicial Reorganization Court and the respective Judicial Reorganization Plan was approved by Oi Group creditors at the Creditors’ General Meeting held on December 19 and 20, 2017 and ratified by the Judicial Reorganization Court by decision issued on January 8, 2018 and published on February 5, 2018 (“PRJ” or “Original Plan”, which is included in Exhibit I to this Amendment).

            In view of the need to restructure both Oi Group’s transactions and liabilities, the Original Plan described the different conditions and measures to be adopted to reverse Oi Group’s momentary crisis according to art. 53 of Law No. 11.101/2005 (“LFR”), having demonstrated its economic-financial and operational feasibility, as well as the profitability of its activities. The Original Plan presented detailed information on the origin of the funds for the reestablishment and continuity of Oi Group’s business and social activities, its current needs and mainly the schedule for the discharge of its obligations with the Pre-Petition Creditors as novated by such plan.

 

            Notwithstanding the good progress of the implementation of the measures set forth in the Original Plan, which have already been largely concluded and were important to the recovery of the Debtors, the Oi Group understands that it is necessary to improve the Original Plan considering a new legal, regulatory and market context, thus allowing the preservation of its business activities and, consequently, the maintenance of the production source and jobs, and the promotion of its social function. Such improvement results mainly (i) from unpredictable external factors at the time of the approval of the Original Plan, which will be detailed throughout this Amendment to the Original Plan ("Amendment" or "Amendment to the PRJ"), (ii) the changes that Oi Group had to make in its strategic business plan (“Strategic Plan”) and furthermore (iii) the possibility to improve the payment conditions of small creditors.

 

            The feasibility of the measures set forth in this Amendment for the reorganization of Oi Group and the preservation of its business activities is attested and confirmed by the feasibility report, pursuant to art. 53, items II and III, of LFR, which is included in Exhibit II to this Amendment.

 

2.                Definitions and Interpretation Rules

 

2.1.           Definitions and Interpretation. The capitalized terms and expressions used in this Amendment will have the meanings assigned to them in the Original Plan, except if expressly amended by this Amendment. The principles and interpretation rules described in the Original Plan are, by this clause, incorporated and fully apply to this Amendment, except in relation to the provisions of Clause 6.1 of this Amendment, whose terms will be incorporated into the Original Plan.

3.                Measures Implemented in Compliance with the Original Plan

 

            Since the approval and ratification of the Original Plan, Oi Group has been working together with external legal and financial advisors, in Brazil and abroad, to comply with all the measures provided therein in order to complete the restructuring idealized in the Original Plan and pay its creditors on a timely basis.

 

            Among the measures successfully implemented by Oi Group, the Creditors Agreement Program stands out, under which more than thirty thousand creditors had their credits, that were up to fifty thousand reais (BRL 50,000.00), paid soon after the publication of the decision that ratified the Original Plan, as set forth in Clause 4.4.

 

            Oi Group also met all the payment deadlines set forth in the Original Plan of the (i) Labor Creditors, pursuant to Clause 4.1; (ii) Unsecured Creditors holders of ME/EPP Credits or Class III Credits, pursuant to Clause 4.3.1.1; and (iii) installments theretofore due to the Strategic Supplier Creditors, pursuant to Clause 4.3.5, as well as the deadline for the extinction of the Intercompany Credits to be agreed, pursuant to Clause 4.6.

 

            In compliance with Clause 4.3.3.5 of the Original Plan, at the end of July 2018, a substantial part of Oi Group’s debt was converted into capital, through a Capital Increase – Credit Capitalization, whereupon one billion, five hundred and fourteen million, two hundred and ninety-nine thousand, six hundred and three (1,514,299,603) new common shares and one hundred and sixteen million, four hundred and eighty thousand, four hundred and sixty-seven (116,480,467) subscription bonus were subscribed, reducing the net liabilities of the Debtors in more than eleven billion reais (BRL 11,000,000,000.00).

 

            In compliance with Clause 6 of the Original Plan, on January 25, 2019, Oi Group completed the Capital Increase New Funds, whereby shareholders and Backstopper Investors subscribed and paid in three billion, two hundred and twenty-five million, eight hundred and six thousand, four hundred and fifty-one (3,225,806,451) new common shares, representing a contribution of new funds at Oi in the total amount of four billion reais (BRL 4,000,000,000.00).

            Pursuant to Clauses 3.1.3 and 5.1 of the Original Plan, Oi Group completed the disposal of several assets, as a way of obtaining funds essential to the restructuring of the Debtors, including real properties and the relevant sale operations of the equity interests held in PT Ventures SGPS, completed on January 24, 2020, and in Cabo Verde Telecom, S.A., completed on May 21, 2019.

 

In order to strengthen and optimize their corporate structure, the Debtors merged Oi Internet with and into Oi Móvel, and Coparts 4 and 5 with and into Telemar and Oi, respectively.

 

Since the approval of the Original Plan, Oi Group has also successfully completed the changes set forth in its corporate governance, replacing the Transitional Board of Directors in due course with the current Board of Directors, entirely composed of independent directors. In addition, a balanced transition was implemented in the composition of Oi Executive Board, as provided for in the PRJ, which culminated in the leave of the officers responsible for implementing the measures and obligations set forth in the Original Plan, by new statutory officers to lead this new phase of the company, focused on the modernization of its fiber network and digitalization of services, with greater operational and financial flexibility.

 

            All obligations and measures that depended exclusively on the Debtors were duly and successfully carried out, allowing Oi Group to comply with the Original Plan and achieve a more efficient level of operational performance.

 

            However, for the reasons set out below, it is essential to adjust the route, with the approval of this Amendment, so that Oi Group may adapt to the current reality of the Brazilian and world economy. The measures proposed in this Amendment will allow Oi Group to implement its Strategic Plan consisting of the assumption of an even more relevant role in the creation of the largest telecommunications network in Brazil, replacing the old copper network with modern fiber-optic networks essential to guarantee the quality and speed of mobile and fixed connections that the company requires.

Moreover, it will be possible to face the challenges of the Brazilian telecommunications sector, which require new investments and adaptation by companies in the sector due to the growing demand for services provided with intensive use of information technology.

 

4.                Reasons and Purposes of the Amendment to the Original Plan

 

4.1.           Main Reasons for the Amendment. The need to amend the Original Plan arises from a series of factors that jointly indicate a relevant change in the context considered at the time of the preparation of the Original Plan.

 

            Despite the fulfillment, up to the date hereof, of the obligations set forth in the Original Plan and the evident improvement in Oi Group’s operational indicators, which demonstrate the feasibility of the Debtors, several measures set forth in the Original Plan have not yet been fully implemented. External and unpredictable factors require the amendment of certain clauses and the inclusion of others in order to maximize the liquidation of assets, increase Oi Group’s investment capacity, enable the implementation of its Strategic Plan and eventually anticipate the payment of its debts.

 

            Among the relevant issues that justify the amendment to the Original Plan is the retention of major funds in court deposits. Such funds were part of the financial projections that served as a basis for the preparation of the Original Plan and should have been fully raised by Oi Group after the approval and ratification of the Original Plan, pursuant to its Clause 3.1.8. Despite the successive orders rendered by the Judicial Reorganization Court determining the release of the deposits in favor of Oi Group, the amounts could not be released because of two main factors: (i) insurgency of pre-petition creditors that sought to satisfy their credits through the undue release of deposits; and (ii) existence of courts, throughout the national territory, that did not allow Oi Group to release the amounts deposited or, worse, that ordered the release of such amounts by pre-petition creditors, contrary to the provisions of the Original Plan and LFR, which is the subject-matter of an extensive judicial proceeding.

 

6


 
 

            The Original Plan, under its Clause 5.1, and as permitted by art. 66 of LFR, also established that Oi Group could dispose of assets, including real properties, some of which are listed in its Exhibit 3.1.3, as an additional way of obtaining funds to comply with the obligations and increase the investment capacity. However, in addition to the evident economic crisis that, in the last two years, has affected and still affects the Brazilian economy, the current health crisis caused by COVID-19 has impaired the market in general, reduced the liquidity of the financial market and, above all, of the real estate market, making it difficult to receive advantageous proposals for the disposal of a large part of Debtors’ assets. Revenues from the disposal of all real properties and other assets, expressly set forth in the projections that support the Original Plan, therefore, have not yet been effectively received by Oi Group at the estimated levels.

 

            An additional aspect that demands the amendment of the Original Plan is the insurgency of the National Telecommunications Agency – ANATEL, the largest individual pre-petition creditor of Oi Group, regarding the submission of its credits, resulting from administrative fines, to the effects of the Judicial Reorganization.

 

            Due to the foregoing, the Amendment to the PRJ has, as one of the main purposes, to establish more efficient mechanisms to implement asset sales already authorized by Clauses 3.1.3 and 5.1 of the Original Plan, as well as to create new ways of fund-raising, which may enable alternative solutions, also already set forth in the Original Plan, for the payment of relevant credits, notably the one held by ANATEL.

 

            In addition, at the time of the preparation and approval of the Original Plan, the expectations were high, given the information provided by the Government regarding the adoption and implementation of measures by the Executive and Legislative Branches to adapt the Brazilian telecommunications regulatory framework to the technological reality of the sector, which would provide a desirable increase in the competitiveness of current landline carriers and would be a determining factor to contribute to the reestablishment of Oi Group.

 

            However, the initiatives expected and necessary for the Brazilian telecommunications sector have only actually evolved more recently, much later than was expected by the market and many of them still await regulation to be implemented. It is the case, for example, of Law No. 13,879/2019, which arose from the Bill of Law of the Chamber 79 (“PLC 79”) - that is, more than three years of procedure in all, which resulted in the delay of the actual regulation of the implementation of adapting the concessions to authorizations, through which Oi expects that the sustainability of the service is reestablished. This delay reflected negatively on Oi Group’s economic and financial reorganization.

7


 
 

 

            In this context, the Debtors were and continue to be excessively burdened by the heavy regulatory obligations related to the provision of public telephone services and by the rigorousness of ANATEL in the exercise of its inspection duties due to facts related to technically anachronistic procedures.

 

            In this respect, for example, the publication of the General Plan of Universalization Goals IV occurred only in December 2018, instead of December 2015 - according to the successive changes of Clause 3.2 of the Concession Agreement, which set forth such date in the text. This forced Debtors to maintain the allocation of valuable resources to comply with legal and regulatory obligations without practical or economic sense, such as the installation and maintenance of a large network of obsolete and deficient Public-Use Telephones, a service hardly used by the society. In addition, the delay in the publication of the General Plan of Universalization Goals IV further caused the delay in raising new funds set forth in the Original Plan, since such publication was one of the conditions for the implementation of the Capital Increase New Funds described in the Original Plan.

 

            An example of this lack of proportion between the obligations imposed to the Debtors, within the scope of the universalization requirements, vis-à-vis its financial compensation, the figures related to the Public-Use Telephones mentioned above are representative: Oi Group in 2016 operated approximately six hundred and forty-one thousand (641,000) public telephones across Brazil (with the exception of São Paulo), at an annual cost of approximately one hundred eighty million Reais (BRL 180,000,000.00), while the annual revenue generated by these public telephones was only two million seven hundred thousand Reais (BRL 2,700,000.00) in such year of 2016 (considering that a reduction of more than 90% was verified between 2009 and 2016). And, as aforementioned, the current obligations in 2016 were maintained until the end of 2018, when the General Plan of Universalization Goals IV was finally published.

 

8


 
 

            Also in this context, as mentioned, the completion of the procedure of the PLC 79 and its conversion into Law No. 13,879/2019, which brought to the Brazilian legal system the possibility of adapting the public telecommunications service concessions in authorizations, under the private law regime, only materialized very recently, already in the second semester of 2019.

 

            The long-awaited effectiveness of the new regulatory framework may represent a new horizon for the entire Brazilian telecommunications sector and for the maintenance of Oi Group’s business activities for several reasons. In this regard, Debtors emphasize at least three (3) of them:

 

First, Law No. 13879/2019 included the possibility of the concession agreements for the provision of landline telephony services to be adapted to authorizations, so that the exploration of this service is carried out under the private law regime. The migration of the public law regime to the private law regime makes several regulatory obligations levied on the concession (such as continuity and reversibility) flexible, promoting greater operating efficiency to the groups that operate under such regime and, mainly, the amount of regulatory obligations, a new perspective to explore the landline telephony service in Brazil.

 

Second, Law No. 13,879/2019 more clearly limited the reversibility of goods used for the simultaneous provision of landline telephony service in a public law regime and of other telecommunications services in a private law regime (the so-called “multi-service goods”), setting forth that such goods must be valued at the proportion of its use to the concession. With such movement, Law No. 13,879/2019 recognized that the reversibility of multi-service goods must be operated only on the possession of the portion actually used to provide the STFC in a public law regime, overcoming a long dispute in the telecommunications sector and adding an important legal safety to the agents that operate in such sector.

 

Third, Law No. 13,879/2019 gave greater flexibility to the telecommunications sector by disconnecting the terms for the radiofrequency use right from the terms for authorization to provide the services. Thus, the change allows the creation of a secondary radiofrequency market, with the negotiation of bands between carriers, in order to reach a more efficient allocation of the spectrum.

9


 
 

 

Also, considering this and other progresses made, it is important to note that several aspects of Law No. 13,879/2019 still need to be regulated by ANATEL, based on mechanisms to be defined by this Agency throughout the year of 2020 and later reviewed by the Federal Budget Oversight Board - TCU. Therefore, the practical effects of the new Law for the Oi Group and other groups that hold the landline telephony concession shall be produced, at least, only as of the second semester of 2021. In addition, to this point, the new rules set forth in Law No. 13,879/2019 still have not had an impact in the decisions of ANATEL due to the lack of specific regulation of the legal text, which has been delaying the necessary initiatives for disposal of assets of Debtors and the consequent cash reinforcement.

 

It is the case, for example, of those that will set forth regarding the operationalization of the reversal of multi-service goods or regarding the coverage obligations that will be required from the concession companies that choose to adapt the concessions and authorizations set forth in Law No. 13,879/2019 - a matter that is fundamental to verify, from the business point of view, the convenience and opportunity of a regime migration.

 

In fact, the central rules to ensure the implementation of the changes brought by Law No. 13,879/2019 were recently submitted to Public Inquiry by ANATEL and still have not gone into force, namely, the Regulation to Adapt STFC Grants and the Regulation for STFC Continuity. The approval and entry into force of these regulations is relevant to make it feasible to migrate the landline telephony service provision to the private law regime, and to update the subject of monitoring and control of the reversible assets of the concession by ANATEL, making the exploration of this service more dynamic and, therefore, more competitive in the sector.

 

Regarding the Regulation for STFC Continuity, the draft, as submitted to Public Inquiry, clarifies that the reversal of shared-use assets must be carried out by the end of the concession agreement with the assignment of the right to use the portion employed to the landline telephony service provision, clarifying, at once, that: (i) the reversal of the assets indispensable to the service must be made through the transfer of possession of the asset, as it had already been defined in article 102 of Law No. 9,472/1997; and that (ii) the burden of reversibility shall not fall on the portion of the same asset employed for the service provision in private law regime. That is, the regulation clarifies, in order to adhere to the legislation, how the reversal at the end of the concession will operate - i.e. through a capacity concession agreement.

10


 
 

 

On the other hand, the Regulation to Adapt Grants is a fundamental initiative of ANATEL to limit the procedure for migration of the landline telephony service provision (that is, from the public law regime to the private law regime), and to determine the methodology and the assessment criteria of the economic value of the adaptation. As established in article 144-B of the General Telecommunications Law, amended by Law No. 13,879/2019, the balance arising from the adaptation of concessions will be reverted in investment commitments, so that its assessment is relevant to, in one hand, make it possible for new investments to be made in the telecommunications sector, and, on the other hand, ensure the feasibility of the STFC, provided in the future in a private law regime.

 

Still considering the aspect of the approval of the regulation of the concession adaptations, the calculations must consider the economic status of the concession to reestablish its sustainability, which would balance the negative result operated by the respective concession.

 

            In other words, Oi Group has important strengths and a competitive differential recognized by the market in general and, more recently, it started to rely on a legal and regulatory context that is increasingly favorable to the implementation of changes to its business model.

 

However, until the entire necessary regulation is definitively approved, Oi Group still needs to channel precious funds, for longer than expected solely and exclusively due to regulatory reasons, to finance public policies for the universal provision of landline services no longer considered necessary by the society in general and which, as previously mentioned, are lacking. Such high cash spending and investments that are completely misaligned with the reality of the market cause unsustainable losses to the Oi Group, in addition to reducing the resources that are necessary to invest in its areas for growth and sustainability of potential future businesses, such as fiber optic and the modernization of its mobile networks.

 

11


 
 

            Due to the difficulties presented above, the new management of Oi Group was fast in assessing, developing, communicating and starting to operate a new a Strategic Plan focused on its competitive edge. The Oi Group communicated its new Strategic Plan to the market in the second semester of 2019 and informed that it sought to redirect efforts to compensate several difficulty factors in the execution of the Original Plan, as described in this Amendment. After disclosing the new Strategic Plan to the market, the Oi Group received positive comments and the acceptance of investors, market analysts and the vast majority of the stakeholders involved in the reorganization of the Oi Group.

 

            Moreover, as a subsequent fact, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO), linked to the United Nations (UN), in view of the proliferation of the disease caused by the New Coronavirus (COVID-19), stated the existence of a global pandemic.

 

            On March 20, 2020, a state of emergency was decreed under Decree No. 7,257/2010 and Provisional Measure No. 926 was enacted, which specifically regulated the operation of essential health and commercial establishments, as well as the rules for controlling the circulation of the population throughout the national territory.

 

            At a regional and local level, several States and Municipalities have also determined and continue to implement a series of measures, such as the suspension of the operation of non-essential commercial establishments, the restriction of the circulation of people between States, Municipalities or even within the same Municipality, the prohibition of public and private events, among other measures, which directly and drastically affected economic activities in general, and especially in the telecommunications market.

 

            Oi Group, notwithstanding the context previously mentioned that had already given rise to the need to adjust the Original Plan, also suffers from the impacts of the pandemic, which has already had severe effects in the global economy and the economy of Brazil, with direct impact in the agreements entered in several sectors and, mainly, with the reduction of revenue from services considered essential.

 

12


 
 

            In the case of Oi Group, the first impacts are in the reduction of its revenues as a result of the decrease in the volume of mobile recharges (pre-paid plans) and new activations due to the necessary social distancing. In addition, Oi Group also faces the increase in default indicators caused by the increase in unemployment levels, the reduction of the economic capacity and income of the majority of the Brazilian population. This problem is increased by several measures being currently implemented in the federal, state and municipal scopes that are not very consistent and that, in a way, have influenced the Oi Group’s operations and increased costs and restricted its service and product sales activities. Also, other socio-economic factors as the interruption of the economic activity of several sectors, the decrease in the trust of businessmen, investors and workers, the interruption of future projects and the uncertainties regarding the levels of activities and the future capacity of investment and consumption in the country have contributed to such reduction in the revenues of the Oi Group.

 

            In addition to the impacts mentioned above, the global pandemic has affected companies under judicial reorganization in several different ways. In the case of Oi Group, several measures to raise funds and restructure its activities that were in progress, such as the disposal of assets, corporate restructuring and the contracting of additional financing to guarantee the planned investments, were suspended or significantly delayed due to such health crisis in Brazil.

 

Also, as previously mentioned, the reduction in the liquidity of the financial market and of the appetite to risk for operations involving companies under judicial reorganization had a significant and negative impact on the entry of short-term revenues already set forth in Oi Group’s Strategic Plan disclosed to the market, in addition to creating uncertainties and causing delays in the implementation of certain processes set forth in such plan. As an example, there are the attempts to dispose of its assets in mobile towers, data centers, in addition to other initiatives that were being developed to give Oi Group more financial and corporate flexibility in order to restructure the assets to be maintained in Oi Group and maximize its economic value, and that ended up frustrated for the reasons mentioned.

 

The combination of these factors, therefore, in this moment hinders the process, the reestablishment and full reorganization of Oi Group, which, for reasons beyond their control and will, was not successful in reaching the level of revenue increase and fund-raising set forth in the projections that supported the Original Plan, which reinforced the need to present this Amendment, as a way of restructuring the obligations and maximizing the revenues from the disposal of assets.

13


 
 

 

Also in this context, the National Council of Justice (“CNJ”), recognizing the seriousness of the pandemic and its harmful effects on the companies under judicial reorganization, issued a recommendation to the bodies of the Executive Power to the effect that they authorize the “presentation by the obligor, which is already in the process of compliance with the plan approved by the creditors, of an amending judicial reorganization plan to be resubmitted to the Creditors’ General Meeting, within a reasonable time, when the obligor’s capacity to fulfill its obligations is diminished by the crisis resulting from Covid-19 pandemic”. The National Council of Justice (“CNJ”) itself acknowledged that the consequences of the pandemic had relevant impacts on the fulfillment of the judicial reorganization plans already approved, as well as that the submission of amendments to such plans must be admitted, in order to adapt them to the to the new social, economic and financial reality in Brazil and worldwide. Such CNJ’s positioning reinforces the need, already expressed by Debtors in December 2019 and authorized by the Judicial Reorganization Court in January 2020, for them to implement new measures to restructure its obligations and submit this Amendment to the appreciation of its creditors and the Judicial Reorganization Court.

 

4.2.           Economic and financial feasibility of Oi Group companies. Despite the difficulties and factors that made Oi Group resort to Judicial Reorganization, all measures set forth in the Original Plan allowed a partial reversion of the economic instability and the increase in the economic capacity of Oi Group.

 

            The activities carried out by the Debtors remain feasible, having generated for Oi Group, between 2016 and 2019, gross revenue of one hundred and thirty billion, four hundred and ninety-one million, nine hundred and eighty-three thousand, eight hundred and forty-five reais and eighteen centavos (BRL 130,491,983,845.18) and net of about eighty-three billion, nine hundred and ninety-six million, eight hundred and forty-eight thousand, five hundred and fifty-nine reais and fifty-nine centavos (BRL 83,996,848,559.59). In fact, despite the drop of fixed voice revenues (concession), Oi has been reinventing itself and taking advantage of its telecommunications network more efficiently in order to save and apply the necessary funds in the modernization of such network for the use of fiber optics instead of copper, bringing more quality and speed to the connections. In addition, recent events reinforce the conclusion regarding the feasibility of Oi Group. With the launch of the new “Oi” brand, it has been observed, so far, the (i) significant increase in the sale of new postpaid mobile phone plans, (ii) exponential growth in the sale of “Oi Fibra”, a very high speed broadband with fiber up to the client’s home (FTTH), (iii) increase in operational efficiency, (iv) decrease in the rate of disconnection of services, (v) reduction of complaints to ANATEL and PROCON in relation to the quality of the services and mainly (vi) significant increase in homes passed with fiber optics (Homes Passed).

14


 
 

 

            Since 2016, Oi Group has been improving its operational indicators and also demonstrating the execution capacity and feasibility of its Strategic Plan, putting into practice the plan to return the focus of its activities to the exploration of its main strengths, notably the fiber-optic network. In the last two (2) years, Oi Group has been accelerating its strategy of investing in fiber-optic infrastructure to provide services with greater speed and quality and to become even more competitive in the telecommunications market, which will sustain the future growth of its revenues, replacing revenues from services provided under old and less efficient infrastructure (copper and satellite TV).

 

Also in this regard, the Oi Group has been exerting the efforts necessary to rationalize and make more efficient the cable TV service provision, so as to better adapt its cost structure to the current demands of society nowadays, where we note a growth of streaming services and the need to increase the volume of clients, thus diluting the costs associated to the production of TV content, at the same time as there is a trend for decrease of the demand for satellite TV transmission. With such objective, Oi Group has, through its financial advisors, assessed the market opportunities to identify feasible and short-term alternatives to reach such goals, including the possibility of forming strategic partnerships to provide such services. Thus, the operating costs of the service can be reduced, optimizing and relieving its cable TV transmission service assets and maximizing the value generated to the company.

 

            Furthermore, the conversion of PLC 79 into Law No. 13,879/2019 set forth, as seen above, the premises for the new legal regime of reversible assets and the path for the early extinction of concessions, both matters which regulation is in progress. It is believed, therefore, that this regulation will finally recognize the need not only for a change in the legal regime for the provision of telecommunications services, but for an important adjustment in the forms of coverage and provision of these services in a continental Country, such as Brazil. This change, as a recognition of the deleterious effects that such policy has caused for a very long time, will end the obligations and costs of telecommunications carriers resulting from a public policy that is absolutely outdated, economically unbalanced and financially unfeasible, channeling investments to provide services that are actually and currently considered as essential by the society.

15


 
 

Regarding this matter, it is worth mentioning that the effects already produced by this policy, which is not yet balanced by the potential relieve of the regulatory obligations, have motivated discussions between the landline telephony service concession companies and ANATEL regarding the economic-financial balance and the sustainability of the concessions. By request of ANATEL itself, the Oi Group indicated to this agency a series of events that affected the balance of the economic-financial equation throughout the execution of its concession agreements, which demanded the work of the Public Authorities in the sense of recomposing it.

In such discussions, in addition to occasional events that caused extraordinary losses to the Oi group in the execution of its concession agreements, the recognition of the frank situation of unsustainability affects the landline telephony service provision in a public law regime. After all, it is a known fact that, throughout the years, there was a constant loss of the economic substrate that guides the distribution of liens between the parties in the relation negotiated in the concession agreements, mainly due to the loss of space of the landline telephony services to mobile services and internet applications (such as, for example, VoIP).

4.3.           Purposes of the Amendment. In view of the foregoing, it is essential that, pursuant to art. 53 coupled with art. 50 of LFR and Clause 11.7 of the Original Plan, and also, reinforced by the previously mentioned Precedent of the CNJ, it is amended according to the terms and conditions set forth below mainly (i) to provide for the possibility of forming isolated production units (UPIs) through the segregation of certain businesses and/or isolated assets of Oi Group and the disposal thereof under the security and benefits ensured by LFR, so as to maximize their worth and provide the resources necessary to preserve the Debtors; (ii) to clarify and give Oi Group the necessary flexibility and security to carry out the disposal of items and assets already authorized by Clauses 3.1.3 and 5.1 of the Original Plan; (iii) to allow the execution of corporate reorganizations to be implemented by Oi Group, already authorized by Clause 7.1 of the Original Plan and included in this Amendment, to give Oi Group more operational efficiency, maximize its value and allow the fulfillment of the obligations set forth in the Original Plan and in this Amendment; (iv) to improve the payment conditions for a substantial part of small creditors, as determined in the court decision rendered by the Judicial Reorganization Court; (v) to allow the contracting of financing and other forms of additional funding by the Debtors to maintain the necessary investments and pay its creditors, as set forth in the PRJ and its Strategic Plan; (vi) to remedy gaps or conflicts that may be determined as Oi Group’s reorganization measures set forth in the Original Plan are being implemented; and (vii) to allow the segregation to a company that is part of the economic group of the Debtors regarding some fiber and infrastructure assets, which will be used to accelerate investments in the expansion of the fiber-optic network, and this company may access the financial market and raise additional funds with lower costs from a more flexible and efficient capital structure.

16


 
 

 

Specifically, regarding the UPIs mentioned in item (i) above, it is intended to segregate the assets, liabilities and rights of Debtors associated to the telephone and data operation in the mobile market (UPI Movable Assets), to the passive infrastructure (UPI Towers and UPI Data Center) and the telecommunications networks operation (UPI InfraCo) in four (4) separate production units. Such UPIs shall be organized as joint-stock companies and shall have a portion (in the case of UPI InfraCo) or even the entirety (in the case of the other UPIs) of their shares sold to potential interested parties that are considered winners in the respective competitive bidding procedures for disposal of such UPIs.

 

It is certain that, in the process of organization of the UPIs, as well as in the allocation of assets in these UPIs by Debtors, all regulatory protections and measures that may be necessary must be adequately taken, particularly for the cases where there is involvement of any of the assets associated with the landline telephony service provision, in a public law regime, or that are object of maintenance obligations by the concession companies.

17


 
 

 

In addition, the disposal of companies that are part of the UPIs shall be carried out by competitive bidding procedures widely disclosed by public notice to society (in the official gazette and in a newspaper widely circulated) and submitted to prior consent by the relevant authorities (namely, ANATEL and the Administrative Council for Economic Defense - CADE), in compliance with the legislation and regulation of the sector.

 

As it shall be seen below in this Amendment, in the disposal of the UPIs, it was set forth that the acquirer shall not succeed the Oi Group in the obligations of any nature, under the provisions of art. 60, sole paragraph, and art. 141, item II, of the LFR and art. 133, first paragraph, item II, of Law No. 5,172/1966, including the obligations of a regulatory nature, maximizing the value of the disposed assets, giving the necessary legal safety to the acquirers that participate in judicial competitive bidding procedures and, consequently, providing the necessary funds to reestablish the Oi Group.

 

Thus, the disposal of such assets by Debtors shall naturally observe all contractual and regulatory obligations enacted by ANATEL and usually applied to the regulated agents.

 

The measures that may be implemented with the modifications set forth in this Amendment will allow Oi Group the necessary balance of its debt, in the current context, with the continuity of its activities following its Strategic Plan, making its business model more sustainable, focused on its main competitive advantages and ensuring the continuity of Oi Group and the consequent compliance with the means of reorganization and payment of the Pre-Petition Credits as renewed by the Original Plan and this Amendment.

 

5.                Execution of the Strategic Plan

 

As it has already been previously explained, Debtors are in the implementation stage of their Strategic Plan, which the main objective is the transformation of its business model, with focus on the use and rapid expansion of its extensive fiber-optic infrastructure networks as a competitive advantage, including its transportation networks (backbone, backhaul and data network) and primary and secondary access networks (dedicated links, metropolitan rings and FTTH access networks). Thus, Debtors will enable and support the high-speed connection needs and the provisions of services for their residential, business, corporate and government clients, and the provision of infrastructure services for other telecommunication service providers in the country, including the facilitation of connections for the new 5G technology.

18


 
 

 

Currently, and since the beginning of their Judicial Reorganization proceedings, the Debtors are concentrating the investments in such fiber-optic network through Oi Móvel, whose investment funds are generated by said Debtor due to its own operations and raised by means of additional financing set forth in the Original Plan.

 

However, Brazil is a continental Country with a demand for relevant and urgent digital inclusion and a huge market for homes that are not yet served by fiber optics. In fact, it is estimated that currently in Brazil, considering only the main area of operation of Oi (excluding the State of São Paulo), there are over 40 million homes that could use this technology.

 

Oi Group currently has just over 1 million homes connected to its fiber-optic network, which does not represent even 5% of the market that is estimated to demand this service. In addition, as already widely disclosed to the market, there was a considerable increase in the average revenue per user due to such homes connected to Oi Group’s fiber-optic network. In other words, the implementation of its Strategic Plan, under the terms already described in this Amendment, is confirmed as the best alternative and strategy to take advantage of Oi Group’s greatest differential in relation to its competitors, that is, to have the largest telecommunications infrastructure network in Brazil. Such advantage will also enable the use of the large fiber infrastructure held by the Oi Group to offer services to other telecommunication service providers, including those necessary to establish the 5G technology in the country, increasing even more the possibility of generating value to the Oi Group.

 

In this regard, and as a way of giving greater financial flexibility and allowing Oi Group to continue developing its Strategic Plan and so it can expand its infrastructure, expanding the possibility of servicing homes that demand the new fiber-optic technology, and the other market demands, it is necessary for Oi Group to resort to the financial market and seek strategic partners that may help develop its investment strategy. Such measures will allow Oi Group to (i) accelerate and expand its investments in fiber optics at a lower cost of capital, (ii) comply with its obligations and the measures set forth in the Original Plan and (iii) reserve and direct part of the funds that it may receive due to the disposal of the UPIs provided for in this Amendment to fulfill the obligations set forth in the Original Plan.

19


 
 

 

In this sense and as set forth in this Amendment, the Oi Group intends to create a specific vehicle that will concentrate the more modern telecommunications infrastructure (fiber optics). This strategy will allow the vehicle to be created to attract third-party capital, whether through debt renegotiation and/or through the contribution of funds by a certain strategic investors to make the necessary investments in order to accelerate the expansion of its fiber-optic activities and reach the largest number of homes that demand such technology with high-speed connection and quality in the provision of services, in addition to assuming a relevant role as creator of the main infrastructure provider for other telecommunications operators in Brazil. Consequently, it will occur the valuation of this vehicle and the generation of results to be later distributed to the Oi Group.

 

In the structure to be created by the Debtors to implement the provisions above, company Brasil Telecom Comunicação Multimídia S.A. - BTCM (“BTCM”) will be used, which, despite being a controlled company of the Debtors, is not a Debtor. Such company has already received contribution from fiber assets and agreements associated therewith and from payment obligations from other companies belonging to Oi Group and, in addition, will sign any and all agreements with the Debtors that are required to guarantee the necessary connection network for the provision of data transport services to its end clients, provided that these residential, business and corporate clients will remain with Debtors Oi Móvel, Telemar and Oi.

 

In this context, it remains clear that BTCM, which for the purposes of this Amendment and the PRJ will be called SPE InfraCo, will concentrate Oi Group’s fiber network assets to provide services not only for Oi Group companies, but also for the market in general, maximizing its value, in line with what is verified in several businesses recently carried out in Brazil and abroad. Therefore, the Debtors allocated and may further allocate part of their fiber network assets to SPE InfraCo as described in this Amendment. On the other hand, BTCM will contract Debtors to ensure access to the network (backbone and backhaul), through right of use agreements, to provide the necessary network means to provide the services from a neutral network for all types of market demands.

20


 
 

 

Under the model described above, SPE InfraCo, seeking, most of all, to raise the necessary funds to maintain and expand the investments in fiber optics to expand its activities and serve the highest number of clients spread out in the country, including other telecommunication carriers, shall seek the necessary funds to finance its investments in the market. Therefore, it may encumber its assets and the Debtors may also offer as guarantee for such financings their shares issued by SPE InfraCo, pursuant to art. 66 of the LFR, which represent fifty-one percent (51.0%) of the voting share capital of SPE InfraCo, provided that they keep a relevant interest in SPE InfraCo, also guaranteeing the effective participation in the definition of its investment plan and its governance bodies.

 

The main advantage of implementing any of the measures described in the paragraph above, in addition to financing the development and expansion of Oi Group’s fiber-optic activities, is to allow the Debtors to stop using their own funds, as has been the case to the date hereof, in order to face these large investments. It is important to emphasize that the raising of funds to carry out such investments is common to this type of transaction, as such investments involve long terms for fruition of results, stability of long-term contracts, long duration of assets and continuous growth of the demand for the capacity of these same assets.

 

Due to the foregoing, Debtors and SPE InfraCo may structure the following operations, without prejudice to the adoption of corporate, regulatory and competition measures, when applicable therefor, and other additional details, as described in this Amendment:

 

- Fund-raising. SPE InfraCo may raise funds in the market, in economic conditions to be determined in an organized and competitive bidding procedure, to fund its short-term activities, supply any cash needs and maintain and expand investments in fiber optics in accordance with the Strategic Plan of Oi Group.

 

21


 
 

- Grant of guarantee involving SPE InfraCo shares. Any fund-raising mentioned above may include the grant, by Debtors, of guarantees involving their shares issued by SPE InfraCo that represent fifty-one percent (51.0%) of the voting share capital of SPE InfraCo, provided that (i) Debtors or SPE InfraCo hold a call option or another legal business that allows them to reacquire, at any time, any shares given as guarantee that may be held by the respective creditor, so as to always ensure to Debtors the right of holding the entirety of the shares issued by SPE InfraCo before any partial disposal of the UPI InfraCo, under the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment; and (ii) any requirements, authorizations or regulatory limitations applicable to the implementation of the provisions in this item are observed.

 

- Partial Disposal of the UPI InfraCo. Without prejudice to the foregoing, Debtors may partially dispose the UPI InfraCo within the scope of the respective Competitive Bidding Procedure (as determined in this Amendment), as detailed in the new Clause 5.3.8.4 included in the Plan due to the execution of this Amendment, in the modality of sealed bids, as provided in art. 142, item II of the LFR, and the acquirer shall hold fifty-one percent (51.0%) of the voting capital stock of SPE InfraCo, observing the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.

 

- Goals. As a result of the transactions described above, the funds obtained by the Debtors and by SPE InfraCo shall be used for financing their short-term activities and maintenance of its investments in consonance with the Strategic Plan of Oi Group, which will maximize the generation of results to the Debtors, whether through the distribution of dividends by SPE InfraCo or upon the appreciation of its assets, contributing to the increase of the potential for full release of the obligations of the Debtors set forth in the Original Plan and its Amendment. In addition, as a result of the partial disposal of the UPI InfraCo in the form described in this Amendment, SPE InfraCo will not be liable for any obligations of the Debtors, including those set forth in the Plan, such as payment obligations of Pre-Petition Credits.

 

- Disposal by third parties of InfraCo shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, within two (2) years as of the date of issuance of the debt instrument within the scope of the abovementioned fund-raising, the Debtors or SPE InfraCo have not reacquired the shares that may have been transferred to third parties due to the guarantees granted by Debtors for the abovementioned fund-raisings, the holder of the respective shares issued by SPE InfraCo (“New InfraCo Shareholder”) may disposal of all shares issued by SPE InfraCo held thereby, Debtors having the priority, at their sole discretion, of constituting a commissioner to ensure that the disposal of such shares by the New Shareholder, occurs through a competitive bidding procedure to ensure the maximization of the price of such shares. In the financial liquidation of the competitive bidding procedure for disposal of its shares issued by SPE InfraCo, the New InfraCo Shareholder will have the amount equivalent to the one it would be entitled to receive from Debtors or from SPE InfraCo if they had reacquired the shares issued by SPE InfraCo described above (with the applicable adjustment), as agreed in any financing instrument, added by all expenses related to the disposal proposal, and to transfer to Debtors the amount of the acquisition price of the disposed shares issued by SPE InfraCo that exceeds the result of such sum. The option of Debtors or SPE InfraCo of reacquiring the shares issued by SPE InfraCo held by the New Shareholder shall remain valid, in any case, for thirty (30) days as of the execution date of the disposal instrument of such shares within the scope of the competitive bidding procedure set forth herein.

Oi Group has a privileged position and the larger capacity to provide fiber and enable 5G in Brazil. Fiber optics will be the center of Oi Group’s strategy, playing an extremely important role in all segments, such as Broadband, Wholesale, TV, B2B and Mobile, and Oi Group will have a relevant role in the development and expansion of its fiber-optic activities by means of an interest that will hold in the share capital of SPE InfraCo, as previously described.

 

The transfer of the respective Assets, Liabilities and Rights to the Defined UPIs and the subsequent disposal of the Defined UPIs are part of Oi Group’s strategy to simplify the group’s operations, with a focus on efficiency and digital transformation to enable the reduction of operating costs.
