ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The last paragraph of Item 4 of Amendment No. 1 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

On October 1, 2013, Oi S.A. entered into the MOU with Portugal Telecom, AG Telecom, PASA, LF Tel, EDSP75, Bratel, BES and Nivalis with respect to the Business Combination.

Oi S.A. Capital Increase

As part of the Business Combination, Oi S.A. proposes to undertake a capital increase (the “Oi Capital Increase”). The estimated amount of the Oi Capital Increase as of the date of the 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 (as defined below) of R$6.1 billion. The Oi Capital Increase is expected to be conducted through the public issuance of common shares and preferred shares of Oi S.A., preferably in proportion to the current ratio between the issued and outstanding common and preferred shares of Oi S.A.; provided 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.

The Reporting Persons understand that 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 assets (the “PT Assets”) through the contribution of its share interests in companies that hold all of (1) the operating assets of Portugal Telecom, except the equity interests directly or indirectly held in Oi S.A. and Contax Participações S.A., and (2) the liabilities of Portugal Telecom on the date of such contribution. Pursuant to Law No. 6,404/76 (the “Brazilian Corporations Law”), the PT Assets will be identified and subject to valuation by a specialized company, whose valuation report will be submitted to the General Meeting of shareholders of Oi S.A.

Portugal Telecom estimates that the equity value of the PT Assets, upon assessment for the purposes of the contribution to Oi S.A., correspond to a value within a range of values with a minimum of €1.9 billion and maximum of €2.1 billion, equivalent to R$5.8 billion and R$6.4 billion, respectively, based on the current exchange rate of 3.0181 reais per euro. Portugal Telecom may elect not to consummate the subscription of shares in the Oi Capital Increase if the valuation report of the PT Assets values the PT Assets in euros at a value lower than the estimated values above, based on the exchange rate of euros to reais on the date of the valuation report.

Current shareholders of TmarPart, 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.

The holders of common shares and preferred shares of Oi S.A. will have priority in the subscription of the Oi Capital Increase. TmarPart, 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 the Holding Company is equal to or less than 36.6% of the total capital of the Holding Company on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the merger of shares of Oi S.A. and the

Holding Company (as described below). Additionally, TmarPart 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 the Holding Company is greater than 39.6% of the total capital of the Holding Company on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the merger of shares of Oi S.A. and the Holding Company.

The other conditions of the Oi Capital Increase will be set forth in the definitive agreements that govern the Business Combination.

Merger of Shares between Oi S.A. and the Holding Company

The MOU provides that following the Oi Captial Increase, Oi S.A. and the Holding Company will convene shareholders meetings to consider a merger of shares (incorporação de ações), with a view to causing Oi S.A. to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company and to facilitate the migration of the shareholder base of Oi S.A. to the Holding Company (the “Merger of Shares”). At the effective time of the Merger of Shares, the Holding Company will have no assets or liabilities (or will have cash equivalent equal to its liabilities), other than the shares of Oi S.A. that it holds.

In the proposed Merger of Shares, holders of Oi S.A. common shares will receive one new common share issued by the Holding Company in exchange for each common share of Oi S.A. that they hold, and holders of Oi S.A. preferred shares will receive one new common share issued by the Holding Company in exchange for each 1.0857 preferred share of Oi S.A. 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 S.A. in a period of 30 days and considering the shares of Oi S.A. 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 with and into the Holding Company

The MOU provides that Portugal Telecom will merge with and into the Holding Company (the “Portugal Telecom Merger”), pursuant to art. 227 of the Brazilian Corporations Law. As a result of the proposed Portugal Telecom Merger, Portugal Telecom’s assets will be transferred by operation of law to the Holding Company. The Portugal Telecom Merger will be submitted to the General Meeting of shareholders of the Holding Company 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 shares of the Holding Company. In the proposed Portugal Telecom Merger, the shareholders of Portugal Telecom will receive a number of common shares issued by the Holding Company equal to the number of common shares of the Holding Company that will be held by Portugal Telecom immediately prior to such merger.

Listing and Corporate Governance of the Holding Company

The MOU provides that the Holding Company will apply to be listed on the Novo Mercado segment of the BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (“BM&FBOVESPA), with the aim of strengthening its corporate governance through the adoption of a new management structure and corporate governance regime. The Holding Company will also apply to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the NYSE Euronext Lisbon.

The MOU provides that the Holding Company will have a Board of Directors consisting of eleven (11) members and eleven (11) alternate members. Members of the Board of Directors of the Holding Company to be elected in anticipation of the listing of the Holding Company on the Novo Mercado segment and the Merger of Shares will have a term of three (3) years from their election or until the General Meeting of the shareholders of the Holding Company to examine the financial statements of the Holding Company 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 S.A. and Portugal Telecom, the Board of Directors of the Holding Company 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 da Cunha, Nuno Rocha dos Santos de Almeida, Rafael Luís Mora Funes, Renato Torres de Faria and Sergio Franklin Quintella.
