WHEREAS:

 

OI, TELEMAR, OI MÓVEL, PTIF, OI COOP, COPART 4 and COPART 5 (jointly referred to as “Debtors” and “Oi Group”), filed and received the ratification, in court, of a judicial reorganization plan in progress before the 7th Business Court of the Judicial District of the Capital City of Rio de Janeiro, under No. 0203711-65.2016.8.19.001 (“Original Plan”), which described the different conditions and measures to be adopted in order to reverse the temporary crisis of Oi Group, having demonstrated its economic, financial and operational viability, as well as the profitability of its activities.

 

Issuer, Trustee and the Intervening Consenting Party Solidary Debtors entered into the Private Indenture Instrument of the 12th Public Issue of Simple Debentures, Not Convertible in Shares, of the Unsecured Type, in a Single Series, of Oi S.A. - under Judicial Reorganization on July 13, 2018 (“Issue”)

 

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 economic, financial and operational feasibility of Debtors, several measures set forth in the Original Plan have not yet been fully implemented.

Notwithstanding the good progress of the implementation of the measures set out in the Original Plan, the Oi Group understood it was necessary to improve the Original Plan given a new legal, regulatory and market context.

 

In this regard, and as a way of giving greater financial flexibility and allowing Oi Group to continue developing its strategic plan, as widely disclosed to the market (“Strategic Plan”), and reach the homes that demand the new fiber-optic technology, it is necessary that Oi Group resort to the financial market and seek strategic partners that may help develop its business strategy.

 

In the structure to be created by Debtors to implement the provisions above, company SPE InfraCo will be used, which, despite being a controlled company of Debtors, is not a Debtor. Such company has already received contribution from fiber assets and agreements associated therewith from other companies belonging to Oi Group and, in addition, will sign any and all agreements with Debtors that are required to guarantee the necessary connection network for the provision of data transport services to its clients, provided that these clients will remain in Debtors OI MÓVEL, TELEMAR and OI.

 
 

 

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.

 

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.

 

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. 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.

 

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.

 

It is worth remembering that, in the current conjuncture, the global pandemic has also 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 pandemic 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 financial resources already set forth in Oi Group’s Strategic Plan, in addition to creating uncertainties and causing delays in the implementation of certain processes set forth in such plan.

 
 

 

The combination of these factors, therefore, in this difficult 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 to the Original Plan, as a way of restructuring the obligations and maximizing the revenues from the disposal of assets.

 

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 stated by Debtors in December 2019 and authorized by the Judicial Reorganization Court in January 2020, for them to implement new measures to restructure their obligations and submit this Amendment to the appreciation of its creditors and the Judicial Reorganization Court.

 

Thus, on [●] [●], 2020, a request for Amendment to the Judicial Reorganization Plan of Oi Group (“Amendment to the Plan”) was submitted and ratified on [●] (“Original Plan” and “Amendment to the Plan”, together referred to as “Judicial Reorganization Plan”), and, as a consequence of such approval and ratification, it is necessary to approve it again by means of a general meeting of debenture holders and, therefore, the Trustee, the Issuer and the Intervening Consenting Party Solidary Debtors are authorized by the Creditors, particularly the Debenture Holders, and

 

hereby enter into this First Amendment to the Private Indenture Instrument of the 12th Public Issue of Simple Debentures, Not Convertible In Shares, of the Unsecured Type, in a Single Series, of Oi S.A. - Under Judicial Reorganization (“First Amendment” and, together with the Issue, the “Indenture”), under the following clauses and conditions:

Observing the provisions below, during the first five (5) fiscal years as of the Judicial Ratification of the Plan, the Issuer (i) shall allocate, on the terms of Clause 5.4.1 below, the amount equivalent to 100% of the Net Revenue from the Sale of Assets that exceeds two hundred million United States Dollars (USD 200,000,000.00) to investments in its activities; and (ii) shall allocate, under the terms below and pursuant to the Amendment to the Plan, 100% of the amount of the Net Revenue from the Liquidity Events that exceeds the amount of six billion and five hundred million reais (BRL 6,500,000,000.00) (“Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount”) to accelerate the payment of the total balance of the Debentures, pro rata to the amount of the Unsecured Credits held by the Purchase Obligation Creditors (“Purchase Obligation”), limited, in any case, to the total balance of the Unsecured Credits held by the respective Purchase Obligation Creditors adjusted, including pro rata interest calculated by such date of payment (“Total Balance of Unsecured Credits”). From the sixth (6th) fiscal year after the date of Judicial Ratification of the Plan, the Oi Group will allocate to its Unsecured Creditors and Secured Creditors the amount equivalent to seventy percent (70%) of the Cash Balance exceeding the Minimum Cash Balance.

 

5.2.1.1. Distribution of Cash Sweep funds. The distribution of the amounts related to the Cash Sweep described in this clause and in the Amendment to the Plan will occur on a pro rata basis to the payments set forth in the Amendment to the Plan, as applicable, with the consequent proportional reduction of the balance of the respective credits and limited to the credit amount of each Secured Creditor and Unsecured Creditor as included in the Creditors’ List of the Bankruptcy Trustee. The remaining balance of the Secured Credits and Unsecured Credits, after the payment arising from the Cash Sweep, will be recalculated and adjusted under the terms of this Plan and its payment shall comply with the provisions set forth in the Amendment to the Plan, as the case may be.

 
 

 

5.2.1.2. Purchase Obligation Exercise Method. Issuer may exercise the Purchase Obligation described above in up to three (3) rounds (each round, a “Purchase Obligation Exercise Round”), as described in items (i) to (iii) below.

 

(i)                1st Purchase Obligation Exercise Round: By the last Business Day of the year in which the Liquidity Event Purchase Obligation First Round occurs, Issuer shall carry out the 1st Purchase Obligation Exercise Round and, subject to the provisions below, it shall use the existing Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount as a result of the Liquidity Event Purchase Obligation First Round to pay the Total Balance of Unsecured Credits held by Creditors of each Purchase Obligation Creditor with a discount of fifty-five percent (55%) on the respective Total Balance of Unsecured Credits. The Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount existing as a result of the Liquidity Event Purchase Obligation First Round shall be paid proportionally among the Purchase Obligation Creditors (“Pro Rata Amount of the Exercise of the First Round Purchase Obligation”), with the total final amount resulting from this transaction being defined as a “1st Round Balance of Unsecured Credits”. The 1st Round Balance of Unsecured Credits of each Purchase Obligation Creditor shall be calculated as follows:

1st Round Balance of Unsecured Credits = Total Balance of Unsecured Credits – (Pro Rata Amount of the Exercise of the First Round Purchase Obligation / 40%).

 

If the Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount available at the 1st Purchase Obligation Exercise Round is not sufficient to pay the total amount of the Total Balance of Unsecured Credits, pursuant to provisions above, the respective 1st Round Balance of Unsecured Credits of each Purchase Obligation Creditor shall be paid (i) in the manner set out in the Judicial Reorganization Plan originally applicable to the respective Unsecured Credits; or (ii) if the 2nd Purchase Obligation Exercise Round is carried out, in the manner set out for the 2nd Purchase Obligation Exercise Round.

The Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount existing as a result of the Liquidity Event Purchase Obligation Second Round shall be paid proportionally among the Purchase Obligation Creditors (“Pro Rata Amount of the Exercise of the Second Round Purchase Obligation”), with the final amount resulting from this transaction being defined as a “2nd Round Balance of Unsecured Credits”. The 2nd Round Balance of Unsecured Credits of each Purchase Obligation Creditor shall be calculated as follows:

2nd Round Balance of Unsecured Credits = 1st Round Balance of Unsecured Credits – (Pro Rata Amount of the Exercise of the Second Round Purchase Obligation / 40%).

 

If the Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount available at the 2nd Purchase Obligation Exercise Round is not sufficient to pay the total amount of the 1st Round Balance of Unsecured Credits, pursuant to the provisions above, the respective 2nd Round Balance of Unsecured Credits of each Purchase Obligation Creditor shall be paid (i) in the manner set out in the Judicial Reorganization Plan originally applicable to the respective Unsecured Credits; or (ii) if the 3rd Purchase Obligation Exercise Round is carried out, in the manner set out for the 3rd Purchase Obligation Exercise Round.

If the existing Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount as a result of the Liquidity Event Purchase Obligation Third Round is not sufficient to pay the entirety of the outstanding balances of the 2nd Round Pending Credits, the payment of the respective Unsecured Credits to be carried out in the 3rd Liquidity Events Purchase Obligation Exercise Round shall occur pro rata and the balance that may be outstanding of the Unsecured Credits held by the respective Purchase Obligation Creditors that are not paid in this 3rd Liquidity Events Purchase Obligation Exercise Round shall be paid pursuant to the Plan originally applicable to the respective Unsecured Credits “shall be paid pro-rata among the Purchase Obligation Creditors (“Pro Rata Amount of the Exercise of the Third Round Purchase Obligation”), with the final amount resulting from this transaction being defined as a “3rd Round Balance of Unsecured Credits.” The 3rd Round Balance of Unsecured Credits of each Purchase Obligation Creditor shall be calculated as follows:

In addition, a new clause 6.1.1 is also included to address the possibility for Issuer and Oi Group to carry out all operations permitted in the Judicial Reorganization Plan, without these operations being considered hypotheses of early maturity.

6.1.1. Any operation or series of operations, including corporate reorganizations, disposal of assets, provision of guarantees or any other operations that are carried out in accordance with the Judicial Reorganization Plan, will not be considered as early maturity hypotheses.

 

 

2.4.Include the new clause 12.6 and renumber the following clauses, so as to determine that the provisions in the Amendment to the Plan will prevail in case of conflict with the provisions of the Issue. Thus, clause 12.6 shall read as follows:

WHEREAS:

 

TELEMAR, OI, OI MÓVEL, PTIF, OI COOP, COPART 4 and COPART 5 (jointly referred to as “Debtors” and “Oi Group”), filed and received the ratification, in court, of a judicial reorganization plan in progress before the 7th Business Court of the Judicial District of the Capital City of Rio de Janeiro, under No. 0203711-65.2016.8.19.001 (“Original Plan”), which described the different conditions and measures to be adopted in order to reverse the temporary crisis of Oi Group, having demonstrated its economic, financial and operational viability, as well as the profitability of its activities.

 

Issuer, Trustee and the Intervening Consenting Party Solidary Debtors entered into the Private Indenture Instrument of the 6th Public Issue of Simple Debentures, Not Convertible in Shares, of the Unsecured Type, in a Single Series, of Telemar Norte Leste S.A. - under Judicial Reorganization on July 13, 2018 (“Issue”)

 

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 economic, financial and operational feasibility of Debtors, several measures set forth in the Original Plan have not yet been fully implemented.

Notwithstanding the good progress of the implementation of the measures set out in the Original Plan, the Oi Group understood it was necessary to improve the Original Plan given a new legal, regulatory and market context.

 

In this regard, and as a way of giving greater financial flexibility and allowing Oi Group to continue developing its strategic plan, as widely disclosed to the market (“Strategic Plan”), and reach the homes that demand the new fiber-optic technology, it is necessary that Oi Group resort to the financial market and seek strategic partners that may help develop its business strategy.

 

In the structure to be created by Debtors to implement the provisions above, company SPE InfraCo will be used, which, despite being a controlled company of Debtors, is not a Debtor. Such company has already received contribution from fiber assets and agreements associated therewith from other companies belonging to Oi Group and, in addition, will sign any and all agreements with

 
 

Debtors that are required to guarantee the necessary connection network for the provision of data transport services to its clients, provided that these clients will remain in Debtors OI MÓVEL, TELEMAR and OI.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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. 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.

 

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.

 

It is worth remembering that, in the current conjuncture, the global pandemic has also 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 pandemic 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 financial resources already set forth in Oi Group’s Strategic Plan, in addition to creating uncertainties and causing delays in the implementation of certain processes set forth in such plan.

 

The combination of these factors, therefore, in this difficult 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 to the Original Plan, as a way of restructuring the obligations and maximizing the revenues from the disposal of assets.

 

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 stated by Debtors in December 2019 and authorized by the Judicial Reorganization Court in January 2020, for them to implement new measures to restructure their obligations and submit this Amendment to the appreciation of its creditors and the Judicial Reorganization Court.

 

Thus, on [●] [●], 2020, a request for Amendment to the Judicial Reorganization Plan of Oi Group (“Amendment to the Plan”) was submitted and ratified on [●] (“Original Plan” and “Amendment to the Plan”, together referred to as “Judicial Reorganization Plan”), and, as a consequence of such approval and ratification, it is necessary to approve it again by means of a general meeting of debenture holders and, therefore, the Trustee, the Issuer and the Intervening Consenting Party Solidary Debtors are authorized by the Creditors, particularly the Debenture Holders, and

 

 
 

hereby enter into this First Amendment to the Private Indenture Instrument of the 6th Public Issue of Simple Debentures, Not Convertible In Shares, of the Unsecured Type, in a Single Series, of Telemar Norte Leste S.A. - Under Judicial Reorganization (“First Amendment” and, together with the Issue, the “Indenture”), under the following clauses and conditions:

Observing the provisions below, during the first five (5) fiscal years as of the Judicial Ratification of the Plan, the Issuer (i) shall allocate, on the terms of Clause 5.4.1 below, the amount equivalent to 100% of the Net Revenue from the Sale of Assets that exceeds two hundred million United States Dollars (USD 200,000,000.00) to investments in its activities; and (ii) shall allocate, under the terms below and pursuant to the Amendment to the Plan, 100% of the amount of the Net Revenue from the Liquidity Events that exceeds the amount of six billion and five hundred million reais (BRL 6,500,000,000.00) (“Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount”) to accelerate the payment of the total balance of the Debentures, pro rata to the amount of the Unsecured Credits held by the Purchase Obligation Creditors (“Purchase Obligation”), limited, in any case, to the total balance of the Unsecured Credits held by the respective Purchase Obligation Creditors adjusted, including pro rata interest calculated by such date of payment (“Total Balance of Unsecured Credits”). From the sixth (6th) fiscal year after the date of Judicial Ratification of the Plan, the Oi Group will allocate to its Unsecured Creditors and Secured Creditors the amount equivalent to seventy percent (70%) of the Cash Balance exceeding the Minimum Cash Balance.

 

5.2.1.1. Distribution of Cash Sweep funds. The distribution of the amounts related to the Cash Sweep described in this clause and in the Amendment to the Plan will occur on a pro rata basis to the payments set forth in the Amendment to the Plan, as applicable, with the consequent proportional reduction of the balance of the respective credits and limited to the credit amount of each Secured Creditor and Unsecured Creditor as included in the Creditors’ List of the Bankruptcy Trustee. The remaining balance of the Secured Credits and Unsecured Credits, after the payment

 
 

arising from the Cash Sweep, will be recalculated and adjusted under the terms of this Plan and its payment shall comply with the provisions set forth in the Amendment to the Plan, as the case may be.

 

5.2.1.2. Purchase Obligation Exercise Method. Issuer may exercise the Purchase Obligation described above in up to three (3) rounds (each round, a “Purchase Obligation Exercise Round”), as described in items (i) to (iii) below.

 

(i)                1st Purchase Obligation Exercise Round: By the last Business Day of the year in which the Liquidity Event Purchase Obligation First Round occurs, Issuer shall carry out the 1st Purchase Obligation Exercise Round and, subject to the provisions below, it shall use the existing Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount as a result of the Liquidity Event Purchase Obligation First Round to pay the Total Balance of Unsecured Credits held by Creditors of each Purchase Obligation Creditor with a discount of fifty-five percent (55%) on the respective Total Balance of Unsecured Credits. The Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount existing as a result of the Liquidity Event Purchase Obligation First Round shall be paid proportionally among the Purchase Obligation Creditors (“Pro Rata Amount of the Exercise of the First Round Purchase Obligation”), with the total final amount resulting from this transaction being defined as a “1st Round Balance of Unsecured Credits”. The 1st Round Balance of Unsecured Credits of each Purchase Obligation Creditor shall be calculated as follows:

1st Round Balance of Unsecured Credits = Total Balance of Unsecured Credits – (Pro Rata Amount of the Exercise of the First Round Purchase Obligation / 40%).

 

If the Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount available at the 1st Purchase Obligation Exercise Round is not sufficient to pay the total amount of the Total Balance of Unsecured Credits, pursuant to provisions above, the respective 1st Round Balance of Unsecured Credits of each Purchase Obligation Creditor shall be paid (i) in the manner set out in the Judicial Reorganization Plan originally applicable to the respective Unsecured Credits; or (ii) if the 2nd Purchase Obligation Exercise Round is carried out, in the manner set out for the 2nd Purchase Obligation Exercise Round.

The Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount existing as a result of the Liquidity Event Purchase Obligation Second Round shall be paid proportionally among the Purchase Obligation Creditors (“Pro Rata Amount of the Exercise of the Second Round Purchase Obligation”), with the final amount resulting from this transaction being defined as a “2nd Round Balance of Unsecured Credits”. The 2nd Round Balance of Unsecured Credits of each Purchase Obligation Creditor shall be calculated as follows:

2nd Round Balance of Unsecured Credits = 1st Round Balance of Unsecured Credits – (Pro Rata Amount of the Exercise of the Second Round Purchase Obligation / 40%).

 

If the Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount available at the 2nd Purchase Obligation Exercise Round is not sufficient to pay the total amount of the 1st Round Balance of Unsecured Credits, pursuant to the provisions above, the respective 2nd Round Balance of Unsecured Credits of each Purchase Obligation Creditor shall be paid (i) in the manner set out in the Judicial Reorganization Plan originally applicable to the respective Unsecured Credits; or (ii) if the 3rd Purchase Obligation Exercise Round is carried out, in the manner set out for the 3rd Purchase Obligation Exercise Round.

If the existing Purchase Obligation Exercise Amount as a result of the Liquidity Event Purchase Obligation Third Round is not sufficient to pay the entirety of the outstanding balances of the 2nd Round Pending Credits, the payment of the respective Unsecured Credits to be carried out in the 3rd Liquidity Events Purchase Obligation Exercise Round shall occur pro rata and the balance that may be outstanding of the Unsecured Credits held by the respective Purchase Obligation Creditors that are not paid in this 3rd Liquidity Events Purchase Obligation Exercise Round shall be paid pursuant to the Plan originally applicable to the respective Unsecured Credits “shall be paid pro-rata among the Purchase Obligation Creditors (“Pro Rata Amount of the Exercise of the Third Round Purchase Obligation”), with the final amount resulting from this transaction being defined as a “3rd Round Balance of Unsecured Credits.” The 3rd Round Balance of Unsecured Credits of each Purchase Obligation Creditor shall be calculated as follows:

Additionally, (i) if Debtors chose to make the respective payments in cash, and exclusively for the purposes of payment within the scope of a certain Reverse Auction, Debtors must (a) hold, on the date when a certain Reverse Auction is held, a consolidated cash balance of at least three billion reais (BRL 3,000,000,000.00), and (b) have at least one hundred million reais (BRL 100,000,000.00) for prepayment to Unsecured Creditors in the respective Reverse Auction (“Minimum Amount Available”) as will be declared by Issuer to Trustee; and (ii) if the Debtors choose to make the respective payment in shares issued by their subsidiaries, the offer to pay must be accompanied by an assessment report prepared by independent third-party appraisers, certifying the amount assigned to the respective shares within the scope of a certain Reverse Auction; and (iii) if Debtors choose to make the respective payments in credit instruments issued by Debtors, said credit instruments must have, at least, the characteristics described in the Amendment to the Plan.

 

5.3.6. Notwithstanding the optional nature of the holding of a certain Reverse Auction by Issuer and by Debtors, provided that Debtors (a) hold, on the date when the respective Reverse Auction is held, a consolidated cash balance of at least three billion reais (BRL 3,000,000,000.00), and (b) have a Minimum Amount Available, Debtors (i) shall use their best efforts to promote a round of Reverse Auction after the completion of the Purchase Obligation Exercise Rounds on the terms and conditions set out in the Amendment to the Plan and by December 31, 2024, and (ii) after December 31, 2024, they shall promote a round of Reverse Auction; in both cases on the terms above and regardless of prior authorization from the Judicial Reorganization Court or from Creditors.

2.3.Additionally, clause 6.1 of the Indenture is also amended, specifically with regard to item (k), which was subdivided into the disposal of assets and provision of guarantees, with the inclusion of a new item (l) and the consequent renumbering of the others items; amendment to item (o), current (p), to address corporate restructuring; and inclusion of a new item (s) to address the possibility of prepayment of debts included in the Amendment to the Plan. In addition, a new clause 6.1.1 is also included to address the possibility for Issuer and Oi Group to carry out all operations permitted in the Judicial Reorganization Plan, without these operations being considered hypotheses of early maturity.
