Dear Sir:

Ref.: Payment of the frequency bands assigned in the framework of the Public Auction for the rendering of Personal Communication Services (“PCS”), of Cellular Mobile Radiocommunication Services (“SRMC”) and Advanced Mobile Communication Services (“SCMA”) called by the Secretariat of Communications through Resolution 38/2014 (the “Auction”)

I am writing to you as Responsible for Market Relations of Telecom Personal S.A (‘Telecom Personal’ or “the Company”) in reference to the matter informed on November 3rd, 2014.

In this respect, we inform you that today Telecom Personal has proceeded with the payment for the following frequency bands assigned to the Company through Resolutions 80/2014, 81/2014, 82/2014 and 83/2014 of the Secretariat of Communications (‘SC’):

 

i) For the PCS service, in Lot N° 5 (Band: 1890-1892.5 Mhz / 1970-1972.5 Mhz -Area I-)

 

ii) For the SRMC service, in Lot N° 2 (Band: 830.25-834 Mhz / 875.25/879 Mhz -Area II-)

 

iii) For the PCS service in Lot N° 6 (Band: 1862.5-1867.5 Mhz / 1942.5-1947.5 Mhz -Area III-)

 

iv) For the SCMA service, in Lot N° 8 –Partial Assignment- (Band: 1730-1745 Mhz / 2130-2145 Mhz -National Area-).

The payment of US$ 410,736,579 corresponds to the amounts offered for the assigned frequency bands and has been made to the accounts of the National State informed by SC’s Note 1474/14 on November 12, 2014, and in accordance with the List of Conditions of the Auction (the “List of Conditions”) and the Clarification Note N 1.

The funds for this payment came from a capital increase paid-in by the shareholders of the Company, Telecom Argentina S.A. and Nortel Inversora S.A. (the capital increase, approved by the Ordinary Shareholder’s Meeting of Telecom Personal held on November 17, 2014 that has been almost entirely paid-in), and also from proprietary funds and financing from financial entities.

The Company has requested to complete the assignment of the frequency bands for the SCMA services in Lot 8. This lot has been partially assigned through SC Resolution N 83/2014 and the Company has reserved the applicable rights.

Sincerely,

Pedro Insussarry
