Subject to the terms, conditions and

Subject to the continuity of the current
market conditions and necessary internal approvals, as well as, in light of its robust financial parameters and strong cash flow
generation, the Company intends to use its own resources to finance the transaction.
The assets that make up the UPI Mobile
Assets shall, pursuant to the Agreement, be segregated by means of a segregation plan and contributed by the Oi Group to three
different specific purpose entities (“SPE”), in such a way that the Company shall acquire the totality of the
shares of one SPE that will hold the assets to be attributed to the Company pursuant to the aforementioned segregation plan, isolated
and independent from the other SPEs.
The Company is entitled to a selection
of assets that shall comprise the UPI Mobile Assets, composed of:
- Clients: approximately 10.5 million
(corresponding to ~29% of UPI Mobile Assets’ total customer base) – according to Anatel’s data base of April/20.
Allocation of customers among Purchasers considered criterion that enhance competition among the Brazilian market operators;
- Spectrum: 43MHz as a national weighted
average based on population (46% of UPI Mobile Assets’ radiofrequencies). Division of frequencies among Purchasers strictly
respects the spectrum limits established by Anatel; and
- Infrastructure: agreements for the
use of 2.7 thousand mobile access sites (corresponding to 19% of UPI Mobile Assets’ total sites).
The effectiveness of the acquisition
by Purchasers of each SPE containing the UPI Mobile Assets’ assets, pursuant to the segregation plan to be finally approved,
is subject to certain conditions usually applicable to transactions of this nature and foreseen in the Agreement, as well as the
previous approvals of ANATEL and CADE, and, if applicable, shall be submitted to the general shareholders’ meeting of the
Company, pursuant to article 256 of the Brazilian Corporations Law, in which case additional information related to the potential
right to withdrawal shall be disclosed in due time. The transaction is expected to be completed, with the transfer of the shares
of SPE to the Company and the corresponding payment thereof during the year of 2021.
