FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Buenos Aires, August 6, 2009.
Securities and Exchange Commission
RE.: Summons to the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Shareholders’
Meeting to be held on September 9, 2009
Dear Sir,
In my capacity as Chairman of Telecom Argentina S.A., (“Telecom Argentina” or the “Company”) I hereby inform you that the Board of Directors of Telecom Argentina, at its meeting held on August 4, resolved to call the Company’s shareholders to an Ordinary and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, to be held on September 9, 2009.
The matters submitted for consideration at such Shareholders’ Meeting are substantially the same as those set forth in the Agenda for the Meeting called to be held on April 28, 2009, which was provisionally suspended pursuant to a Resolution of the Second Court of Appeals in Commercial Matters in the case recorded as “Telecom Italia S.p.A. y Otro s/Recurso de Queja por Rec. Denegado” (File no. 3826/2009) “until this Court issues a ruling on the precautionary measure requested in this case”.
As informed to the Commission on July 30, 2009, in its ruling regarding the abovementioned matter, the Second Court of Appeals in Commercial Matters resolved, among other items, to “sustain the precautionary measure requested by the petitioners, suspending the effects of Resolution N° 44/09 of the Argentine Antitrust Commission (“Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia”).” Consequently, having the ability to call for the General Shareholders’ Meeting, Telecom Argentina’s Board of Directors resolved to summon the Company’s shareholders to such Meeting, as described in this letter.
We will inform shortly about the required information prior to the Meeting, in accordance with regulations.
Yours sincerely,
| Telecom Argentina S.A. |
| /s/ Enrique Garrido |
| Enrique Garrido |
| Chairman of the Board of Directors |
