Post Retirement Benefits Status report – 30 June 2006 Investment policy 2004/05/06

Post Retirement Benefits All of PT’s post retirement benefit plans have been closed to new participants since 1994 for pensions and 2000 for health care. Health care benefits are rendered to employees after retirement age. Post retirement benefits liabilities are recognised based on an actuarial study prepared annually by independent actuaries. Post Retirement Benefits include: Pension and pension supplements; Salaries to pre-retired and suspended employees; and Health care benefits rendered after retirement age.

PT has 4 pension plans, initially sponsored by each of the companies that were merged into Portugal Telecom in 1994. Benefits assumed by PT Comunicações comprise: Pension and pension supplements; and Salaries to pre-retired and suspended employees. PT Comunicações created pension funds to cover its pension liabilities. The management of these funds is independent of PTC. The funds are managed in accordance with ISP (insurance and pension regulator) rules, and are subject to ISP supervision. Portuguese legislation requires that at any given moment the pension funds’ fair value covers the total liability payable to retired employees. Portuguese legislation does not require the funding of the liabilities with salaries to pre-retired and suspended employees. Pensions

Health care benefits include expenses with health care services rendered to retired employees, pre-retired and suspended employees Serviço Nacional da Saúde (“SNS”) is committed to contribute a per employee amount in order to cover part of the expenses supported by PT Comunicações. Portuguese legislation does not require the funding of the liability for health care services. In 2005, PT Comunicações created a fund (PT Prestações) to cover part of the liabilities for health care services, having made an initial contribution of €300mn. In 2006, PT Comunicações made an additional contribution of €300mn. Health Care

The pensioners are the sole beneficiaries of the pension funds. Each post retirement benefit plan has its own fund (CGA, TLP, TDP, Marconi and Health Care obligations). Funds are managed by independent entities (Previsão, BPI, BES, PT Prestações) in accordance investment guidelines established by PT. The management of the pension funds is supervised by the ISP. The management of PT Prestações is in accordance with ISP rules, but is not under the supervision of the ISP. Assets allocated to pension and health care funds should be used to reimburse the corresponding liability. Pensions and Health Care Funds

Actuarial Assumptions - Definitions Discount rate. Represents the discounting factor of the PBO and should be defined based on yield rates of high rating corporate bonds with the same maturity of the liabilities. Expected return on assets. Represents the expected return of fund assets over the long term and should be defined based on the asset portfolio and expected return for each class of assets. Health care expenses growth rates. Represents the expected increase of health care expenses relating to retired employees and should be defined based on the benefits granted by the specific plan and trends in health care costs. Salary and pension growth rates. Represent the expected increase of salaries and pensions used to compute the PBO and should be defined based on information available regarding general economic trends in the country and specific information about company trends. Mortality tables. Represent the mortality probability applicable to the beneficiaries in order to compute their estimated lives and should be defined based on demographic information of the country/region and adjusted for the specific reality of the sector/company.

Actuarial Assumptions 2005 – Portugal *Information by Hewitt – “Hewitt Global Report”, September 2006 PT uses international mortality tables (UK) that have been adjusted to reflect the specific reality of PT’s beneficiaries. Historic mortality rates support tables used which were updated in 2004; PT has not accumulated any material actuarial differences resulting from mortality rates. If PT were to use unadjusted TV 73/77 tables, in line with those used by Portuguese banks, results would be similar. PT’s PBO as at 31 December 2005 could vary between -1% and 1.5%. PT’s discount rate includes the effect of liabilities with low maturity (salaries payable to pre-retired and suspended).

Actuarial Losses* – 1H06 [Euro Millions] 31.12.05 Asset Return** 30. 06.06 Following the increase in long term yields, the discount rate assumptions were reviewed as of 30 June 2006, from a weighted average of 4.3% as at 31 December 2005 to 4.86% as at 30 June 2006. The impact of this change was a reduction in the PBO of €312mn. During the first half of 2006, actual return on assets was 1.2% (€19mn), which was lower than the 6% actuarial assumption, but higher than the benchmark (1%). This difference gave rise to an actuarial loss of €65mn.

Increase in Expected Return on Assets related to the increase in fund assets during 2005 and to the additional contribution of €300mn to PT Prestações.
