Re.:    Information art. 3, Chapter XXI of the Listing Regulations

Dear Sirs,

I am writing you as Responsible for Market Relations of TELECOM ARGENTINA STET-FRANCE TELECOM S.A. (“Telecom Argentina”), to inform you that today, Telecom Argentina submitted to the Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (“CONSOB”), the security regulatory authority in Italy, a preliminary draft of the documentation regarding the invitation to a public cash tender offer to purchase part of the financial debt of Telecom Argentina, aimed to holders of such financial debt obligations. The terms of such document are similar to those of the preliminary draft submitted to the Commission last February 17.

The referred submission was made to the CONSOB by virtue of the local regulations of Italy, taking into account that the offer will be made to more than 200 bondholders of Telecom Argentina residing in that country.

Finally, I am informing that today, a press release was distributed to the Italian media informing about that submission, the text of which is similar that submitted to the Commission last February 12.

Sincerely,

Pedro Insussarry

Responsible for Market Relations
