Schedule 13D

 

Preliminary Statement

 

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on June 13, 2012 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), by the entities identified on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

 

On October 1, 2013, Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A. (“Portugal Telecom”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Oi S.A. (“Oi” or the “Issuer”), AG Telecom Participações S.A. (“AG Telecom”), LF Tel. S.A. (“LF Tel”), PASA Participações S.A. (“PASA”), EDSP75 Participações S.A. (“EDSP75”), Bratel Brasil S.A. (“Bratel” and, together with AG Telecom, LF Tel, PASA, EDSP75 and Telemar Participações S.A. (“TelPart”), the “Oi Holding Companies”), Avistar, SGPS, S.A., a shareholder of Portugal Telecom and an affiliate of Banco Espírito Santo, S.A. (“BES”), and Nivalis Holding B.V., a shareholder of Portugal Telecom and an affiliate of RS Holding, SGPS, S.A. (“Nivalis”), with respect to a proposed combination (the “Business Combination”) of the businesses of Portugal Telecom, Oi and the Oi Holding Companies into a single entity, whether TelPart or a new entity to be created for this purpose (in either case, “CorpCo”).  Portugal Telecom and Oi announced the Business Combination on October 2, 2013.  Pursuant to the Business Combination, among other things, Oi is expected to become the owner of the PT Assets (as defined in Item 3 below) and a wholly owned subsidiary of CorpCo, and Portugal Telecom is expected to merge with and into CorpCo with CorpCo as the surviving company.  See Items 4, 6 and 7 below.

 

The Reporting Persons are filing this Amendment No. 1 to revise information previously reported in light of the proposed Business Combination.

 

Item 1.       Security and Issuer

 

This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the common shares, without par value (the “Common Shares”), of Oi, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, having its principal executive office at Rua General Polidoro, no 99, 5th floor, Botafogo, 22280-001 Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. The Original Schedule 13D reflected the Reporting Persons’ acquisition of an interest in Oi (formerly known as Brasil Telecom S.A.) in connection with the formation of the Reporting Persons’ strategic partnership with the Oi Companies consummated on March 28, 2011 and the reorganization of the Oi Companies described in Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D.  This Amendment reflects the expected effects of the Business Combination described in Items 4 and 6 below.

 

As used herein, the term “Oi Companies” refers, collectively, to TelPart, Oi, TelPart’s subsidiary Valverde Participações S.A. (“Valverde”), Oi’s subsidiary Telemar Norte Leste S.A. (“Telemar”), Telemar’s former subsidiary Tele Norte Leste Participações S.A. (“TNL”) and TNL’s former subsidiary Coari Participações S.A. (“Coari”).

 

Item 2.       Identity and Background

 

The last two paragraphs of Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

 

9



 

Schedule 13D

 

The name, present principal occupation or employment (and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted) and citizenship of each director and executive officer, as applicable, of each Reporting Person is provided on Exhibit 2 to the Amendment, which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person named on Exhibit 2 (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3.       Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The information set forth in Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs at the end thereof:

 

As one step in the Business Combination, Portugal Telecom will subscribe for and purchase new Common Shares and preferred shares of Oi in the Oi Capital Increase (as defined in Item 4 below).  The consideration to be given by Portugal Telecom for the new Common Shares and preferred shares that it purchases is expected to consist of the interests in the companies that hold all of (i) the operating assets of Portugal Telecom except interests held directly or indirectly in Oi and Contax Participações S.A. (“Contax”) and (ii) Portugal Telecom’s liabilities at the time of contribution (the “PT Assets”).  The equity value of the PT Assets is estimated to be in a range of values with a minimum of €1.9 billion and a maximum of €2.1 billion (the “Estimated Value of PT Assets”) (equivalent to R$5.8 billion to R$6.4 billion, respectively, based on the current rate of 3.0181 reais per Euro).  The final value of the PT Assets will be determined based on a valuation report to be submitted to an Extraordinary General Meeting of the holders of Common Shares of Oi, which report will indicate the values in reais of the PT Assets considering the exchange rate of Euros to reais on the date of issuance of the valuation report.  If the valuation report assigns values on the date of its issuance lower in Euros than the Estimated Value of PT Assets, considering the conversion rate of Euros to reais on the date of its issuance, Portugal Telecom will have the right not to consummate the subscription of shares in the Oi Capital Increase and, consequently, the Business Combination.  See Item 6 below.

 

As additional steps in the Business Combination, Portugal Telecom and its subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, increase their percentage interests in AG Telecom, LF Tel, TelPart and Oi (1) in return for their interests in CTX Participações S.A. and Contax through the CTX Share Exchanges described in Item 6 of this Amendment under “Memorandum of Understanding Relating to CTX and Contax” and (2) through the subscription, by Portugal Telecom of convertible and exchangeable debentures to be issued by AG Telecom and LF Tel and by AG Telecom and LF Tel of convertible debentures to be issued by TelPart described below under “—Corporate Reorganization of TelPart, AG Telecom and LF Tel.”

Schedule 13D

 

See Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 below, which are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

 

Item 4.       Purpose of Transaction

 

The subsection of Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D entitled “Other Plans or Proposals” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Proposed Business Combination with Oi

 

On October 1, 2013, Portugal Telecom entered into the MOU with Oi, AG Telecom, LF Tel, PASA, EDSP75, Bratel, BES and Nivalis with respect to the Business Combination of Portugal Telecom, Oi and the Oi Holding Companies.  Portugal Telecom and Oi announced the Business Combination on October 2, 2013.

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination, among other things, Oi is expected to become the owner of the PT Assets and a wholly owned subsidiary of CorpCo, and Portugal Telecom is expected to merge with and into CorpCo with CorpCo as the surviving company.

 

The MOU will remain in effect until October 1, 2014 unless extended by the parties thereto.

 

Objectives of the Business Combination

 

The Business Combination is being entered into for the purpose of consolidating the alliance between Portugal Telecom and Oi that was established in 2010 and developed since that time through mutual investments held by Portugal Telecom and Oi, with the aim of developing a global telecommunications enterprise, which would allow, through this industrial alliance, cooperation in various areas, sharing of best practices, increased economies of scale, research and development initiatives, technology development and expansion of the international presence of Portugal Telecom and Oi, notably in Brazil, Portugal and Africa, diversification of services, maximization of synergies and reduction of costs, always seeking to offer better services and customers care for both groups and to create value for their shareholders (the “Industrial Alliance”).

 

The Business Combination involves the combination of the business and affairs of Portugal Telecom and Oi, to be held by a single company, TelPart or another company constituted for that purpose (in either case, “CorpCo”), which will have a widely held shareholder base comprised of the shareholders of Portugal Telecom, TelPart and Oi, with the capital of CorpCo divided into a single series of common shares, which will be traded on BM&FBovespa S.A. — Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (“BM&FBOVESPA”), the NYSE Euronext Lisbon and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), and will adhere to the rules of corporate governance of the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA.

 

The following principles will guide the Business Combination:

 

(i)            the formation of a single large multinational company based in Brazil;

 

11



 

Schedule 13D

 

(ii)           the continuity of operations under the trademarks of Oi and Portugal Telecom in their respective regions of operation, subject to unified control and management by CorpCo;

 

(iii)          the consolidation of the Industrial Alliance, enabling the maximization of synergies, reduction of operational risks, optimization of efficient investments and ensuring best practices;

 

(iv)          the strengthening of the capital structure of the integrated companies, facilitating their access to capital and financial resources;

 

(v)           the consolidation of the shareholder bases of TelPart, Oi and Portugal Telecom solely in common shares traded on the Novo Mercado segment of the BM&FBOVESPA, the NYSE Euronext Lisbon and the NYSE;

 

(vi)          the diffusion of CorpCo’s shareholder base, which, after the implementation of the Business Combination, will have no shareholder or group of shareholders holding a majority of the capital;

 

(vii)         the adoption of best corporate governance practices of the Novo Mercado segment of the BM&FBOVESPA; and

 

(viii)        the promotion of greater liquidity of the shares traded in the markets.

 

Oi Capital Increase

 

As one step in the Business Combination, Oi proposes to undertake a capital increase in an amount estimated, as of the date of the MOU, to be approximately R$14.1 billion, with the approximate amount to be paid in cash of a minimum of R$7.0 billion, with the goal of reaching R$8.0 billion, and the approximate amount to be paid with assets of R$6.1 billion, to be conducted through the public issuance of common shares and preferred shares of Oi, preferentially in proportion to the current ratio between the issued and outstanding common and preferred shares of Oi (the “Oi Capital Increase”), it being agreed that, in order to respect the legal limit for division of capital between voting and non-voting shares (i.e., minimum of one-third of the shares entitled to vote and maximum of two-thirds of shares without voting rights), the number of issued shares of each type may be adjusted. The Oi Capital Increase will be subject to the full subscription of the minimum value of the portion to be paid up in cash and will be subject to certain conditions, as described below.

 

Portugal Telecom will enter into a commitment to subscribe and pay for the portion of the Oi Capital Increase to be paid for through the contribution of the PT Assets, as described in Item 3 above. Under the Brazilian Corporations Law, the PT Assets will be identified and subject to valuation by a specialized firm, as described in Item 3.

 

The definitive agreements will provide that the Oi Capital Increase will be subject to the full subscription of the minimum value of the portion to be paid in cash.  The portion of the Oi Capital Increase to be paid in cash will have a settlement guarantee provided by a consortium of

 

12



 

Schedule 13D

 

banks (the “Underwriters”), in accordance with the terms and conditions to be negotiated with the Underwriters in a separate instrument, subject to market conditions at the time and the necessary approvals of the Underwriters. Additionally, shareholders of TelPart and an investment vehicle managed by Banco BTG Pactual S.A. will subscribe approximately R$2.0 billion of the Oi Capital Increase.

 

The holders of Common Shares and preferred shares of Oi will have priority in the subscription of the Oi Capital Increase. TelPart, AG Telecom and LF Tel will assign all of their respective priority rights to Portugal Telecom free of charge.

 

Once the subscription period for the Oi Capital Increase is closed, Portugal Telecom may elect not to consummate the Business Combination and all other corporate transactions related to the Business Combination if the percentage of the participation of Portugal Telecom in CorpCo is equal to or less than 36.6% of the total capital of CorpCo on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the merger of shares of Oi and CorpCo (as described below). Additionally, TelPart may elect not to consummate the Business Combination and all other corporate transactions related to the Business Combination if the percentage of the participation of Portugal Telecom in CorpCo is greater than 39.6% of the total capital of CorpCo on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the merger of shares of Oi and CorpCo.

 

This Schedule 13D is not an offering document and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, and does not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.

 

Corporate Reorganization of TelPart, AG Telecom, LF Tel and Bratel

 

As part of the Transaction, AG Telecom, LF Tel and TelPart will be capitalized with the resources needed to repay their indebtedness. AG Telecom and LF Tel will issue, and Portugal Telecom will subscribe for, debentures (i) convertible into shares of AG Telecom and LF Tel, in equal numbers, and (ii) exchangeable for preferred shares of Oi held by AG Telecom and LF Tel, in equal numbers, in an amount sufficient to pay all indebtedness of AG Telecom and LF Tel, including debt owed to the Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social — BNDES, the Brazilian national development bank (“BNDES”), and pay the subscription price for debentures issued by TelPart as described below.  TelPart will issue, and LF Tel and AG Telecom will subscribe, in the proportion of 50% (fifty percent) each, for convertible debentures issued by TelPart in an amount sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness of TelPart, including debt owed to BNDES.

 

Portugal Telecom’s obligation to pay for the debentures issued by AG Telecom and LF Tel to be subscribed by Portugal Telecom as described above, and the obligation of AG Telecom and LF Tel to pay for debentures issued by TelPart to be subscribed by AG Telecom and LF Tel as described above, are conditioned upon, and therefore will only occur after, the valid and final consummation of the Oi Capital Increase.  Portugal Telecom’s obligation to pay for the debentures issued by AG Telecom and LF Tel and AG Telecom’s and LF Tel’s obligation to pay

 

13



 

Schedule 13D

 

for the debentures issued by TelPart will be guaranteed at the time of their respective subscription through a pledge of the following shares of Oi held by Portugal Telecom or AG Telecom and LF Tel, as appropriate:  (1) 252 million  shares of Oi, held by Portugal Telecom, to be pledged to AG Telecom and LF Tel, (2) 70 million shares of Oi, owned by AG Telecom, to be pledged to TelPart and (3) 70 million shares of Oi, held by LF Tel, to be pledged to TelPart.

 

In addition, AG Telecom and LF Tel and their holding companies PASA and EDSP75 will be reorganized through the CTX Share Exchanges described in Item 6 below in order to separate the assets not related to their direct or indirect shareholding in Oi, so that AG Telecom, LF Tel, Bratel and TelPart will not have assets or liabilities (or will have cash or cash equivalents equal to their respective liabilities), other than: (i) shares of TelPart and Oi, in the case of AG Telecom; (ii) shares of TelPart and Oi, in the case of LF Tel; (iii) shares of AG Telecom, LF Tel, TelPart and Oi, in the case of Bratel; and (iv) shares of Oi (and goodwill reserves relating to the investment in Oi), held directly or indirectly, in the case of TelPart.  See Item 6 below.

 

The MOU provides that immediately after the capitalization described above and the CTX Share Exchanges described in Item 6 below, PASA will merge with and into AG Telecom, and EDSP75 will merge with and into LF Tel, and, subsequently, AG Telecom, LF Tel and Bratel will merge with and into TelPart. The shareholders of AG Telecom and LF Tel will receive, as a result of the mergers set forth herein, the shares held by AG Telecom and LF Tel in the capital of TelPart, in proportion to the respective number of shares they hold in the merged companies after the conversions and exchanges of debentures described above and the CTX Share Exchanges. Changes in the number of shares held in AG Telecom, PASA, LF Tel, EDSP75 and TelPart as a result of the conversions and exchanges of debentures, the CTX Share Exchanges and these mergers, will not result in any transfer of control of such companies. After these conversions and exchanges of debentures, the CTX Share Exchanges and these mergers, and, considering the shares of Oi directly and indirectly held by Portugal Telecom, excluding new shares subscribed to in the Oi Capital Increase, Portugal Telecom will be entitled to 554.47 million shares issued by CorpCo.

 

Listing of CorpCo on the Novo Mercado Segment

 

CorpCo will apply to be listed on the Novo Mercado segment of the BM&FBOVESPA, with the aim of strengthening its corporate governance through the adoption of a new management structure and corporate governance regime.

 

CorpCo will have a Board of Directors consisting of eleven (11) members and eleven (11) alternate members. Members of the Board of Directors of CorpCo to be elected in anticipation of the listing of CorpCo on the Novo Mercado segment and the Merger of Shares (as defined below) will have a term of three (3) years from their election or until the General Meeting of the shareholders of CorpCo to examine the financial statements of CorpCo for the third fiscal year ending after the close of the year in which the Merger of Shares occurs, whichever occurs last. In order to facilitate the integration of Oi and Portugal Telecom, the Board of Directors of CorpCo shall initially consist of the following members: Alexandre Jereissati Legey, Amilcar Morais Pires, Fernando Magalhães Portella, Fernando Marques dos Santos, Henrique Manuel Fusco Granadeiro, José Maria Ricciardi, José Mauro Mettrau Carneiro

José Mauro Carneiro da Cunha Mettrau and Henrique Manuel Fusco Granadeiro will assume the positions of President and Vice President, respectively, of the Board of Directors of CorpCo.

 

The MOU provides that Zeinal Bava, current Chief Executive Officer of Oi and Chief Executive Officer of PT Portugal, will be the Chief Executive Officer of CorpCo and its subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of CorpCo will meet immediately after its own election and confirm Zeinal Bava as CEO of CorpCo after the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Immediately after the implementation of the corporate actions described above, the Shareholders’ Agreements of AG Telecom, LF Tel and TelPart entered into or amended as of January 25, 2011 and described in Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D will be terminated.

 

The parties to the MOU have entrusted to Zeinal Bava the complete coordination of the implementation of the Business Combination, to be accompanied by a Steering Committee comprised of representatives of the parties, with the following composition: Amilcar Morais Pires, Henrique Manuel Fusco Granadeiro, José Mauro Mettrau Carneiro da Cunha, Nuno Rocha dos Santos Almeida e Vasconcellos, Otavio Marques de Azevedo and Pedro Jereissati.

 

Merger of Shares of Oi and CorpCo

 

As part of the Business Combination, and subject to the valid and final consummation of the Oi Capital Increase, Oi and CorpCo will convene shareholders meetings to consider a merger of shares (incorporação de ações), with a view to causing Oi to become a wholly owned subsidiary of CorpCo and to facilitate the migration of the shareholder base of Oi to CorpCo (the “Merger of Shares”). At the effective time of the Merger of Shares, CorpCo will have no assets or liabilities (or will have cash equivalent equal to its liabilities), other than the shares of Oi that it holds.

 

In the proposed Merger of Shares, holders of Oi Common Shares will receive one new common share issued by CorpCo in exchange for each Common Share of Oi that they hold, and holders of Oi preferred shares will receive one new common share issued by CorpCo in exchange for each 1.0857 preferred share of Oi that they hold. All ratios in the mergers that are part of the Business Combination were established based on market prices of the shares of Oi in a period of 30 days and considering the shares of Oi that the companies involved in the operation directly or indirectly hold, assuming that such companies will not hold any liabilities or assets (or will have cash or cash equivalents equal to their respective liabilities).

 

Merger of Portugal Telecom Into CorpCo

 

The MOU provides that Portugal Telecom will merge with and into CorpCo (the “Portugal Telecom Merger”). As a result of the proposed Portugal Telecom Merger, Portugal Telecom will cease to exist, and its assets will be transferred by operation of law to CorpCo. The Portugal Telecom Merger will be submitted to the General Meeting of shareholders of CorpCo

 

15



 

Schedule 13D

 

for consideration in conjunction with the Merger of Shares. In addition, the Portugal Telecom Merger will be submitted for consideration to the General Meeting of shareholders of Portugal Telecom. At the time of the proposed Portugal Telecom Merger, Portugal Telecom will have no assets or liabilities (or will have cash and cash equivalents equal to its liabilities), other than, exclusively, the shares issued by CorpCo. In the proposed Portugal Telecom Merger, the shareholders of Portugal Telecom will receive a number of shares issued by CorpCo equivalent to the number of shares of CorpCo that will be held by Portugal Telecom immediately prior to such merger and which will be cancelled due to the Portugal Telecom Merger.

 

Conditions to the Business Combination

 

In addition to the conditions described above, the consummation of the Business Combination, as well as all other corporate transactions linked to the Business Combination, are subject to the implementation of various conditions, including the approval of the transactions that may be agreed among the parties to the MOU by the competent governing bodies of each such party, the obtaining of legal and regulatory authorizations, consents of creditors and third parties, the valid and final consummation of the Oi Capital Increase, and the agreement of the parties to the definitive transaction agreements of the Business Combination. Subject to the fulfillment of conditions precedent that may be contractually established, all steps of the Business Combination will be undertaken as a single transaction to ensure their full implementation, which will be an essential condition for consummation of the Business Combination and the conclusion of the Industrial Alliance.

 

The public offering of shares in the Oi Capital Increase is subject to registration with the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários — CVM, the Brazilian securities commission (“CVM”). The issuance of shares in the Oi Capital Increase, the issuance of shares by CorpCo to Oi’s shareholders in the Merger of Shares, and the issuance of shares by CorpCo to Portugal Telecom’s shareholders in the Portugal Telecom Merger will require registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be subject to securities registration requirements in other jurisdictions.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following subsections at the end thereof:

 

Memorandum of Understanding with the Oi Companies

 

On October 2, 2013, Portugal Telecom announced the Business Combination.  On October 1, 2013, Portugal Telecom entered into the MOU described under “Proposed Business Combination with Oi” set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.  The description of the MOU is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the MOU, which is filed as Exhibit 9 to this Amendment and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Memorandum of Understanding Relating to CTX and Contax

 

On October 1, 2013, Portugal Telecom and Bratel entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “CTX MOU”) with AG Telecom, Andrade Gutierrez Telecomunicações Ltda., LF Tel, La Fonte Telecom S.A., PASA and EDSP75 relating to the interests held by those companies in the shares of CTX Participações S.A. (“CTX”) and Contax.

 

The CTX MOU relates to certain of the steps of the Business Combination expected to occur immediately prior to the merger of PASA into AG Telecom, the merger of EDSP75 by LF Tel and the merger of AG Telecom, LF Tel and Bratel into TelPart described in Item 4 under “Proposed Business Combination with Oi—Corporate Reorganization of TelPart, AG Telecom, LF Tel and Bratel.”

 

As of the date hereof, AG Telecom (which is controlled by PASA) and LF Tel (which is controlled by EDSP75) hold shares of CTX in addition to the shares of TelPart and the preferred shares of Oi that they hold.  Pursuant to the CTX MOU, AG Telecom, PASA, LF Tel and EDSP75 will undertake partial spin-offs such that the shares of CTX (and, indirectly, Contax) held by them will be held by newly formed entities (the “CTX Holdcos”) whose shares will be held by the current shareholders of AG Telecom, PASA, LF Tel and EDSP75, including Bratel, in the same proportion as those shareholders’ interests in AG Telecom, PASA, LF Tel and EDSP75.

 

Following the spin-offs described above, Portugal Telecom and its subsidiaries and the other shareholders of PASA and EDSP75 will undertake a series of exchanges of shares (the “CTX Share Exchanges”) of CTX, Contax and the CTX Holdcos for shares of AG Telecom and LF Tel such that Portugal Telecom and its subsidiaries will cease to be shareholders, directly or indirectly, of CTX, Contax and the CTX Holdcos, and the other shareholders of PASA and

 

22



 

Schedule 13D

 

EDSP75 will hold, directly or indirectly, all the shares of CTX and Contax formerly held by Portugal Telecom and its subsidiaries.

 

Under the CTX MOU, the parties have agreed to use best efforts to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the spin-offs and share exchanges described above.  The CTX Share Exchanges are conditioned upon the consummation of the Oi Capital Increase and are expected to occur after the Oi Capital Increase and prior to the remaining steps in the Business Combination.

 

The CTX Share Exchanges are subject to conditions, including (i) obtaining the necessary legal and administrative authorizations in Brazil, Portugal and other applicable jurisdictions, namely the Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica — CADE, the Brazilian antitrust authority; the Autoridade da Concorrência, the Portuguese antitrust authority and including the approvals and/or registration with the CVM and the Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários — CMVM, the Portuguese securities commission, as applicable to the CTX Spin-offs and the Share Exchanges; (ii) agreement of the parties to the terms and conditions of the definitive agreements and their annexes, and approval of the terms of the CTX Spin-offs and the Share Exchanges, as applicable, to be agreed upon by the competent governing bodies of each of the companies and their respective shareholders; and (iii) obtaining prior approvals from creditors and third parties where required to implement the CTX Spin-offs and the Share Exchanges, as applicable, as well as the waivers or consents of creditors of the parties and companies involved in the transactions to avoid violations or defaults under contracts as a result of the transactions, in the manner to be agreed in the definitive agreements.

 

The CTX MOU will remain in effect until October 1, 2014 unless extended by the parties thereto.

 

The description of the CTX MOU above is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the CTX MOU, which is filed as Exhibit 10 to this Amendment and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Termination of Shareholders’ Agreements

 

In connection with the Business Combination, all the shareholders’ agreements described in Section 6 of the Original Schedule 13D are expected to be terminated.

The original Memorandum of Understanding was prepared in Portuguese and in case of any divergence, discrepancy or difference between this version and the Portuguese version, the Portuguese version shall prevail.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

 

This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is entered into for the purpose of consolidating the alliance between Portugal Telecom, SGPS S.A. (“Portugal Telecom”) and Oi S.A. (“Oi”) that was established in 2010 and developed since that time through mutual investments held by Portugal Telecom and Oi, with the aim of developing a global telecommunications enterprise, which would allow, through this industrial alliance, cooperation in various areas, sharing of best practices, increased economies of scale, R&D initiatives, technology development and expansion of the international presence of Portugal Telecom and Oi, notably in Brazil, Portugal and Africa, diversification of services, maximization of synergies and reduction of costs, always seeking to offer better services and customers care for both groups and to create value for their shareholders (the “Industrial Alliance”).

 

Thus, under the Industrial Alliance, by this MOU, Oi, Portugal Telecom, AG Telecom Participações S.A. (“AG”), LF Tel S.A. (“LF”), PASA Participações S.A. (“PASA” ), EDSP75 Participações S.A. (“EDSP75”), Bratel Brasil S.A. (“Bratel Brasil”), Avistar, SGPS, S.A. (“BES”) and Nivalis Holding B.V. (“Ongoing”) set forth the principles, terms and conditions negotiated with the goal of completing a transaction (the “Transaction”) involving the combination of the business and affairs of Portugal Telecom and Oi, to be held by a single company, Telemar Participações S.A. (“TelPart”) or another company constituted for that purpose (in either case, “CorpCo”), which will have a widely held shareholder base comprised of the shareholders of Portugal Telecom, TelPart and Oi, with the capital of Corpco divided into a single series of common shares, which will be traded on BM&FBovespa S.A. — Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (“BM&FBOVESPA”), the NYSE Euronext Lisbon and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), and will adhere to the rules of corporate governance of the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA (the “Formation of Corpco”). Each of Oi, Portugal Telecom, AG, LF, PASA, EDSP75, Bratel Brasil, BES and Ongoing is individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively as “Parties”.

 

The consummation of the Transaction, including a reorganization of the chain of control of Oi (the “TelPart Reorganization”), which, for purposes of this instrument, forms a part of the “Transaction,” is contingent upon the implementation of the various steps  after obtaining the necessary consents, including corporate and regulatory authorizations, in all applicable jurisdictions, without prejudice to the adoption of other measures that may arise in the course of negotiations, during the period set forth herein, which are deemed necessary following the signing of this MOU. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith after the date of this MOU based on the terms and conditions contained herein for the consummation of the Transaction.

 

1.                                                                                      Objective:

 

The Parties intend to establish the principles that will govern the negotiations of a series of transactions intended to consolidate the Industrial Alliance upon the consummation of the Transaction, with the primary objective of combining the business and activities developed by Oi and Portugal Telecom, namely in Brazil, Portugal and Africa.

 

1



 

2.                                                                                      Purposes of the Transaction; Formation of Corpco and Corporate Reorganization:

 

The Industrial Alliance, including the strategic partnership and cooperation in various areas developed between Oi and Portugal Telecom since 2010, when Portugal Telecom became a shareholder of Oi and vice versa, permitted Oi and Portugal Telecom to identify potential synergies, efficiencies and opportunities whose full realization depends on the effective combination of business and activities of these companies through the Formation of Corpco.

 

Corpco, from its geographical base in Brazil, Portugal and Africa, with 260 million inhabitants, will occupy a considerable space in the global telecommunications industry, particularly in developing markets. Corpco will be able to meet the need to investment with a view to the improvement and expansion of services, will benefit from economies of scale, and will unify and develop its technological know-how, leveraging its expertise in the Portuguese-speaking markets and other markets, without limitation, with its resulting global positioning in a highly competitive industry.

 

Upon consummation of the Transaction, the business and affairs of Oi and Portugal Telecom will be, therefore, under the control and management of a single company, allowing the acceleration of the development of Oi in Brazil, the leveraging and further enhancement of the capacity for innovation of Portugal Telecom, and the realization of synergies.

 

For these reasons, the objective of integrating the operations of Portugal Telecom and Oi under the control of a single company will be guided by the following principles:

 

a)                  The formation of a single large multinational company based in Brazil with shares listed on BM&FBovespa, the NYSE Euronext Lisbon and the NYSE, which consolidates the shareholder bases of TelPart, Oi and Portugal Telecom;

 

b)                  The diffusion of Corpco’s shareholder base and inclusion of Corpco’s shares on the Novo Mercado segment of BM&BOVESPA;

 

c)                   The creation of greater liquidity and potential creation of value of the shares traded in those markets; and

 

d)                  Considering the high degree of recognition of their trademarks in the market, ensuring the continuity of operations under the trademarks of Oi and Portugal Telecom in their respective regions of operation, subject to the control and management of a single common Corpco, which will maximize synergies, reduce operational risks, optimize the efficiency of investments and ensure best practices.

 

3.                                                                                      Corporate Steps:

 

The following are the corporate actions and steps to be implemented for the consummation of the Transaction:

 

3.1            A capital increase by publicly issuing common shares and preferred shares of Oi, subject to the conditions set forth below (the “Oi Capital Increase”):

 

2



 

3.1.1 The Oi Capital Increase will be effected through the public subscription for common and preferred shares, preferably in proportion to the current ratio between issued and outstanding common and preferred shares of Oi. This ratio may be adjusted to comply with the legal limit between voting and non-voting shares. The shares issued shall be paid upon subscription in cash or assets, and the portion paid in assets will be fully paid by Portugal Telecom, through the contribution of the PT Assets (as defined in Item 4).

 

3.1.2 The estimated amount of the Oi Capital Increase as of the date of this MOU is approximately R$14.1 billion, with the approximate amount to be paid in cash of a minimum of R$7.0 billion, with the objective of reaching R$8.0 billion, and the approximate amount to be paid with the PT Assets of R$6.1 billion. The Definitive Agreements will provide that the Capital Increase of Oi will be subject to the full subscription of the minimum value of the portion to be paid in cash. For the purpose of this MOU, all of the percentages and amounts that follow presume the objective of using R$8.0 billion in cash to effect the Oi Capital Increase.

 

3.1.3 The portion of the Oi Capital Increase to be paid in cash will have a settlement guarantee provided by a consortium of banks (the “Underwriters”), in accordance with the terms and conditions to be negotiated with the Underwriters in a separate instrument, subject to market conditions at the time and the necessary approvals of the Underwriters. Additionally, current shareholders of TelPart, and BTG Pactual S.A., directly or through an investment vehicle managed and administered through Banco BTG Pactual S.A., will participate in the offering by placing a subscription order for approximately R$2.0 billion.

 

3.1.4 Portugal Telecom will execute a commitment to subscribe for the portion of the Oi Capital Increase to be paid for through the contribution of all the assets that are identified in the Valuation Report on PT Assets defined in Item 4 of this MOU, at the price per share of the Oi Capital Increase.

 

3.1.5 The shareholders of Oi will have priority in the subscription of the Oi Capital Increase, with the intention that the issue price of the preferred shares relative to the issue price of the common shares will reflect the current ratio established for the exchange of common and preferred shares of Oi for common shares of Corpco provided in Item 3.4.1 below. TelPart, AG and LF will assign all of their respective priority rights to Portugal Telecom free of charge.

 

3.1.6 Based on the result of the subscription orders in the Oi Capital Increase and the ratio of shares issued by Corpco in exchange for Oi shares provided in Item 3.4.1: (a) Portugal Telecom will not be obligated to consummate the Transaction and all other corporate steps described in this MOU if the percentage of the participation of Portugal Telecom in Corpco is equal to or less than 36.6% of the total capital stock of Corpco on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the merger of Oi shares referred to in Item 3.4.1 and (b) TelPart will not be obligated to consummate the Transaction and all other corporate steps described in this MOU if the percentage of participation of Portugal Telecom in Corpco exceeds 39.6% of the total capital stock of Corpco on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the merger of Oi shares referred to in Item 3.4.1. If the Transaction is not consummated as provided in this

 

3



 

Item 3.1.6, no Party shall be entitled to claim any compensation from the others, except as provided in Item 9.2 below.

 

3.1.7 The other conditions of the Oi Capital Increase will be set forth in the Definitive Agreements (as defined below).

 

3.2.         Reorganization of TelPart:

 

3.2.1 PASA will merge with and into AG, EDSP75 will merge with and into LF, and subsequently AG, LF and Bratel Brasil will merge with and into TelPart, and, at the time of this action, AG, LF and Bratel Brasil shall have no assets or liabilities (or will have cash or cash equivalents equal to their accounts payable), except exclusively that (i) AG will hold shares of TelPart and Oi, (ii) LF will hold shares of TelPart and Oi, and (iii) Bratel Brasil will hold shares of AG, LF, TelPart and Oi. The shareholders of AG and LF will receive, as a result of the mergers set forth herein, the shares held by AG and LF in the capital of TelPart, in proportion to the respective number of shares they hold in the merged companies after the conversions and exchanges of debentures set forth in Item 5.1. Changes in the number of shares held in AG, PASA, LF, EDSP75 and TelPart as a result of the conversions and exchanges of debentures set forth in Item 5.1 and 5.2 and these mergers, will not result in any transfer of control of such companies. After these conversions, exchanges and mergers, and in accordance Item 3.4.1, considering the shares of Oi directly and indirectly held by Portugal Telecom, excluding new shares subscribed to in the Oi Capital Increase, Portugal Telecom will be entitled to 554.47 million shares issued by Corpco.

 

3.2.2 TelPart, at the time of this action, will have no assets or liabilities (or will have cash or cash equivalents equal to its eventual accounts payable), except that TelPart will hold (directly and through Valeverde Participações S.A.) shares of Oi (and goodwill reserves relating to the investment in Oi).

 

3.3.         Application to List Corpco on the Novo Mercado:

 

3.3.1 Corpco will take all measures necessary to apply for on the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA.

 

3.3.2 Corpco will adopt the administrative structure and the corporate governance principles set forth in Item 7 of this MOU, including the election of members of its Board of Directors.

 

3.4            Merger of Shares (Incorporação de Ações) of Oi and Corpco and Subsequent Merger (Incorporação) of Portugal Telecom with and into Corpco:

 

3.4.1 Oi and Corpco will engage in a Merger of Shares (Incorporação de Ações) in which Oi will be converted into a wholly owned subsidiary of Corpco. As a result of the Merger of Shares, each common share of Oi will be exchanged for a newly issued share of Corpco and each preferred share of Oi will be exchanged for 0.9211 newly issued shares of Corpco. The exchange ratios of shares of Oi for newly issued shares of Corpco have been determined based on the parameter of market prices of the shares of Oi in a period of 30 days, which the Parties understand is appropriate. The Merger of Shares of Oi and Corpco will not result in

 

4



 

withdrawal rights for shareholders of Oi under art. 137, II of Law No. 6,404/76.

 

3.4.2 Portugal Telecom and Corpco will engage in a Merger (Incorporação) of Portugal Telecom with and into Corpco, as a result of which Portugal Telecom will cease to exist. The Merger provided for herein (which will be structured as a merger by incorporation of Portugal Telecom with and into Corpco in accordance with the laws of Portugal), will be approved by the General Meeting of the shareholders of Corpco in conjunction with the Merger of Shares provided for in Item 3.4.1 and by the General Meeting of the shareholders of Portugal Telecom after the consummation of the transaction referred to in Item 3.1, provided that at the time of the Merger, Portugal Telecom will have no assets or liabilities (or will have cash equivalents equal to its accounts payable), except, exclusively, the shares issued by Corpco. By virtue of the Merger, the shareholders of Portugal Telecom will receive a number of shares of Corpco equivalent to the number of shares of Corpco held by Portugal Telecom immediately prior to the Merger.

 

The Transaction and its corporate steps described above and, where applicable, the steps set forth in Item 5 below, will be announced simultaneously and are subject to the approval in their entirety by the Prior Meeting of Shareholders under the Shareholders’ Agreements of PASA, EDSP75 and TelPart, executed or amended on January 25, 2011 (the “Existing Shareholders’ Agreements”), and by the shareholders and/or boards of directors of the companies involved, as applicable.

 

The consummation of each of the steps set forth in this Item 3 and in Item 5 shall be subject to the valid and final consummation of the Oi Capital Increase, as described in Item 3.1, subject to the consummation of the steps subsequent to the Oi Capital Increase, as may be provided in the Definitive Agreements. Thus, subject to fulfillment of conditions precedent that may be contractually established, the steps set forth in this Item 3 and in Item 5 will be undertaken as a single transaction to ensure their full implementation, which will be an essential condition for consummation of the Transaction and the enhancement of the Industrial Alliance.

 

4.                                                                                      Investment by Portugal Telecom Through the Contribution of PT Assets:

 

Portugal Telecom will contribute to Oi, in payment for the shares for which it subscribes in the Oi Capital Increase in accordance with Item 3.1, the shareholding interests held by Portugal Telecom in the companies that hold all of (i) the operating assets of Portugal Telecom, except interests held directly or indirectly in Oi and Contax Participações S.A. and (ii) Portugal Telecom’s liabilities at the time of contribution (the “PT Assets”), which will be identified and subject to appraisal by a specialized firm, whose valuation report will be submitted to the approval of the General Meeting of shareholders of Oi, pursuant to Law No. 6,404/76 (the “Valuation Report on PT Assets”). This transaction will also be subject to approval of the shareholders of Portugal Telecom gathered in General Meeting. This contribution will be made directly by Portugal Telecom or through the contribution of a company wholly owned by it which will hold at the time of the contribution all of the PT Assets.

 

Portugal Telecom has provided the management of Oi public and other relevant information whose disclosure is not legally restricted, relating to the PT Assets.

 

5



 

Portugal Telecom estimates the equity value of the PT Assets, to be valued for purposes of its contribution to the payment of the Oi Capital Increase, to be in a range of values with a minimum of €1.9 billion and a maximum of €2.1 billion, (the “Estimated Value of PT Assets”), equivalent to, respectively, R$5.8 billion and R$6.4 billion (based on the current exchange rate of 3.0181 reais per Euro).

 

Portugal Telecom shall accrue all costs incurred in the Transaction, including any other restructuring costs that should be properly incurred and/or accrued before the verification of the value of the PT Assets that are subject to appraisal.

 

The Valuation Report on PT Assets will indicate the values in reais of the PT Assets considering the exchange rate of Euros to reais on the date of issuance of the Valuation Report on PT Assets, which shall be the day immediately preceding the publication of the notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Oi to consider the Valuation Report on PT Assets, provided that the period between the date of issuance of the Valuation Report on PT Assets and the date of actual payment for the shares of Oi by Portugal Telecom through the contribution of the PT Assets to Oi does not exceed the minimum legal term. If the Valuation Report on PT Assets assigns values on the date of its issuance lower in euros than the Estimated Value of PT Assets considering the conversion rate of Euros to reais on the date of its issuance, Portugal Telecom has the right not to accept the assessed valuation and not to consummate the subscription of shares in the Oi Capital Increase to be paid up by the contribution of the PT Assets. In this case, no other Parties shall be entitled to claim any compensation from Portugal Telecom.

 

5.                                                                                      Contribution of Resources by Portugal Telecom for the Reorganization of TelPart:

 

5.1            Issuance of Debentures convertible into shares of AG and LF and exchangeable for preferred shares of Oi held by AG and LF:

 

5.1.1 AG and LF will issue, and Portugal Telecom will subscribe for, debentures (i) convertible into shares of AG and LF, in equal numbers, and (ii) exchangeable for preferred shares of Oi held by AG and LF, in equal numbers, in an amount sufficient to pay all indebtedness of AG and LF, including debt owed to BNDES, and pay the subscription price for debentures issued by TelPart as described in Item 5.2 below.

 

5.2            Issuance of Convertible Debentures by TelPart for Settlement of its Financial Indebtedness, To Be Subscribed by AG and LF:

 

5.2.1 TelPart will issue, and LF and AG will subscribe, in the proportion of 50% (fifty percent) each, for convertible debentures issued by TelPart in an amount sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness of TelPart, including debt owed to BNDES.

 

Portugal Telecom’s obligation to pay for the debentures issued by AG and LF to be subscribed by Portugal Telecom as described in Item 5.1 of this MOU, and the obligation of AG and LF to pay for debentures issued by TelPart to be subscribed by AG and LF as described in Item 5.2 of this MOU, are conditioned upon, and therefore will only occur after, the valid and final consummation of the Oi Capital Increase, as described in Item 3.1, it being agreed  that Portugal Telecom’s obligation to pay for the debentures issued by AG and LF and AG’s and LF’s obligation to pay for the debentures issued by

TelPart will be guaranteed at the time of their respective subscription through a pledge of the following shares of Oi held by Portugal Telecom or AG and LF, as appropriate: 1. 252 million  shares of Oi, held by Portugal Telecom, to be pledged to AG and LF, 2. 70 million shares of Oi, owned by AG, to be pledged to Telpart, and 3. 70 million shares of Oi, held by LF, to be pledged to Telpart.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

 

This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is entered into in order to establish the principles which shall govern the partial spin-offs from PASA PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. (PASA) and EDSP75 PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. (“EDSP75”), as well as AG TELECOM PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. (“AG”) and LF TEL S.A. (“LF”), in order to segregate the interests in shares of capital stock held by these companies in CTX Participações S.A. and in Contax Participações S.A. (“CTX Spin-offs”), as well as the exchanges of shares between Portugal Telecom, SGPS S.A. or its subsidiaries (“Portugal Telecom”) and the remaining shareholders of PASA, and between Portugal Telecom and the remaining shareholders of EDSP75, to be executed upon the consummation of the CTX Spin-offs (the “Share Exchanges”), which are necessary in connection with the proposed combination of activities and businesses of Portugal Telecom and Oi, resulting, among other things, in Portugal Telecom’s ceasing to exist and its shareholder base being merged with that of the shareholders of Oi and of Telemar Participações S.A. (“TelPart”) (the “Transactions”).

 

The above-mentioned Transactions, specifically with respect to PASA, EDSP75, AG and LF, shall include the merger of these companies into Telemar Participações S.A., which will either merge into Oi or will become a company which will aggregate the shareholder base of Oi and Portugal Telecom (“Holding”). In any case, these Transactions will require the prior segregation of the interests held by AG and LF in CTX Participações S.A. and in Contax Participações S.A., by means of the CTX Spin-offs, so as to make possible share exchanges between Portugal Telecom and the remaining shareholders of the spun-off companies, thus allowing Portugal Telecom to no longer hold, at the moment it ceases to exist, interests in contact center companies and to concentrate its investments in Brazil exclusively in telecommunications activities through Oi.

 

1. Objective:

 

The Parties intend to establish the principles that will govern the consummation of the CTX Spin-offs and the Share Exchanges.

 

2. CTX Spin-offs and Share Exchanges:

 

The CTX Spin-offs and the Share Exchanges shall take place in accordance to the following terms and conditions:

 



 

2.2.1 The CTX Spin-offs shall result in the companies incorporated for such purpose holding all the shares of capital stock issued by CTX Participações S.A. (“CTX”) and Contax Participações S.A. (“Contax”) currently held directly by AG and LF and, indirectly, by PASA and EDSP75, with those shareholders maintaining the same proportionate interest in the companies resulting from the spin-offs as they currently hold in AG and LF and in PASA and EDSP75, as applicable.

 

2.2.2 Once the above-mentioned CTX Spin-offs are completed, Portugal Telecom and remaining shareholders of PASA, as well as Portugal Telecom and the remaining shareholders of EDSP75, shall exchange shares such that Portugal Telecom no longer shall be, directly or indirectly, a shareholder of CTX and Contax, and of the companies resulting from the spin-offs, and such that the remaining shareholders of PASA and EDSP75 shall thereafter, directly and indirectly, be the owners of the shares of capital stock of CTX and Contax currently held by Portugal Telecom and the only shareholders of the companies resulting from the spin-offs. Portugal Telecom, in return, shall receive, directly or indirectly, shares of capital stock of AG and LF, and/or of TelPart and/or of Oi.

 

2.2.3 The structure of the CTX Spin-offs or the Share Exchanges may be altered upon mutual agreement of the Parties, always with the objective of segregating the interests held by PASA, EDSP75, AG and LF in CTX and Contax and of the exit of Portugal Telecom, directly or indirectly, from these companies.

 

3. Definitive Agreements:

 

The Parties shall use their best efforts to, within the term of this MOU, or any extensions thereto, negotiate and execute the definite agreements, setting forth all the necessary measures for the implementation of the CTX Spin-offs and the Share Exchanges, as set forth in the terms of this MOU (the “Definitive Agreements”).

 

The Definitive Agreements shall establish that the execution or effectiveness of the Share Exchanges shall be conditioned upon the valid consummation of the capital increase of Oi contemplated in connection with the business combination of Portugal Telecom and Oi, and which will be the first step in the Transactions (the “Oi Capital Increase”).

 

In addition to the condition set forth above, the Definitive Agreements shall provide that the Share Exchanges shall be effected after the Oi Capital Increase and prior to the remaining steps of the Transactions, in particular the corporate restructuring of the controlling shareholder structure of Oi, with the merger of PASA into AG, the merger of EDSP75 into LF and the subsequent merger of AG, LF and Bratel Brasil S.A. with and into TelPart.

 

The CTX Spin-offs shall not be subject to the consummation of the Transactions and may be effected by the Parties regardless of the consummation of the Transactions.

 



 

4. Conditions Precedent:

 

The completion of the CTX Spin-offs and the Share Exchanges contemplated by this MOU shall, in any event, be subject to the satisfaction of all the following conditions precedent, among others that may be necessary or agreed.

 

a) Obtaining the necessary legal and administrative authorizations in Brazil, Portugal and other applicable jurisdictions, especially CADE, the Portuguese Competition Authority (Autoridade da Concorrência), including the approvals and/or registration with the CVM and the CMVM, as applicable to the CTX Spin-offs and or the Share Exchanges;

 

b) Agreement of the Parties to the terms and conditions of the Definitive Agreements and its Annexes, and approval of the terms of the CTX Spin-offs or Share Exchanges, as applicable, to be agreed upon by the competent governing bodies of each of the companies and their respective shareholders;

 

c) Obtaining prior approvals from creditors and third parties where required to implement the CTX Spin-offs or the Share Exchanges, as applicable, as well as the waivers or consents of creditors of the Parties and companies involved in the Transactions to avoid violations or defaults under contracts as a result of the Transactions, in the manner to be agreed in the Definitive Agreements;

 

If any of the above conditions to the consummation of the CTX Spin-offs or the Share Exchanges is not satisfied for any reason, none of the Parties will be required to consummate the CTX Spin-offs or the Share Exchanges, as applicable, and if such transactions are not consummated, none of the Parties shall be entitled to claim any compensation from any other Party.

 

5. Term:

 

This MOU will remain in effect until October 1, 2014, unless it is extended by the Parties by written agreement, and will cease to be in effect on that date if the Parties have not reached an agreement on the subject matter of this MOU. Item 7 shall remain in full force and effect for a further period of three years as from the expiration date of this MOU.

 

6. Exclusivity:

 

During the term of this MOU, the Parties shall ensure reciprocal exclusivity in relation to the matters contained herein.

 

7. Confidentiality:

 

Each of the Parties, their respective officers, directors, collaborators, employees or representatives, agree to maintain the confidentiality of negotiations and discussions undertaken under this MOU, as well as the information to which they have access as a result of the same, except with regard to compliance with applicable law and regulatory standards for securities markets applicable to the Parties and their respective subsidiaries.

 



 

8. Market Disclosure:

 

The Parties shall, immediately after the signing of this MOU, disclose material facts to the market, subject to the terms of the drafts that are attached hereto and made a part of this MOU.

 

9. Law, Dispute Resolution and Applicable Jurisdiction

 

This MOU has been drafted under and will be governed by Brazilian law.

 

The parties expressly agree that the competent court to settle any litigation or dispute arising from the interpretation or application of this MOU will be the court of the City of Rio de Janeiro, expressly waiving jurisdiction of any other court, regardless of any superior jurisdictional status it may have.

 

And, in witness whereof, the Parties execute this instrument in two(2) counterparts of equal content and form, in the presence of two (2) undersigned witnesses.
