Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Initial 13D.

This Amendment reflects (1) the increase in TmarPart’s, Oi’s and Telemar’s beneficial ownership of the Shares as a result of the purchases of Shares described in Item 5(c) below.

This Amendment is being filed jointly on behalf of each of the Reporting Persons. The agreement among the Reporting Persons to file this Amendment jointly in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Other than as described in this statement, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the Reporting Persons best knowledge, any of the persons listed in Exhibit 99.2 hereto, has any present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
