Lic. Marcos Ayerra

 

Dear Sirs,

 

RE.: Relevant Matter- Title XII, Chapter I, Sections 2 and 3 of the CNV Rules (NT 2013)

Settlement Agreement

I am writing to you, as Chairman of Telecom Argentina S.A. (“Telecom Argentina” or the “Company”), in order to inform you that the Company, in its capacity as successor company of Cablevisión S.A. (“Cablevisión”), has reached a settlement agreement to end all legal proceedings existing with diverse member companies of Grupo Supercanal, including Supercanal S.A. (“Supercanal”) and América TV S.A. (“América TV”), to finish a litigious situation which included different reciprocal litigations and judicial claims derived from (i) the participation of Multicanal S.A. – absorbed by Cablevisión- in Supercanal Holding S.A. – today Supercanal- and (ii) the inclusion of television signals owned by América TV in Cablevisión’s grid.

By virtue of the aforementioned settlement agreement and in order to implement what was resolved, Telecom Argentina, in its previously indicated capacity, has subscribed, among others: 1) a Framework Contract by which, among other issues, América TV expressly waives the claim for the exhibition of its signals in Cablevisión’s grid (now Telecom Argentina) waiving to make any kind of claim in this sense and recognizing it has nothing to claim against Telecom Argentina for any other cause prior to the date of the agreement; and 2) a Share Transfer Agreement by which Telecom Argentina gives in favor of Supercablecanal S.A. the shares – and all the rights inherent to them- that it owns, in its capacity as successor company of Cablevisión in Supercanal and Supercanal Holding S.A, as of the day of this contract.

In the framework of the aforementioned settlement agreement, it has been agreed that Supercanal will assume the costs of the proceedings.

Sincerely,

 

 

Telecom Argentina S.A.

/s/ Alejandro A. Urricelqui

Chairman
