Dear Sirs,
RE: Appeal of Resolution of the Antitrust Commission N° 1 and Resolution ICD N°3. Request for Precautionary Measure
I am writing you as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Telecom Argentina S.A. (“Telecom Argentina” or the “Company”) to inform you that on January 13, 2010 the Company and its subsidiary Telecom Personal S.A. (together with Telecom Argentina the “Companies”) filed an appeal against Resolution N° 1 of the Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia (the “Argentine Antitrust Commission”) (“Resolution N° 1”), its Exhibit I and against Resolution N° 3 of the Secretary of Internal Commerce Department (“Resolution N° 3”).
The companies also submitted a request to the National Court of Appeals for Federal Civil and Commercial Matters for the issuance of a precautionary measure suspending the effects of Resolution N° 1 and Resolution N° 3.
Said appeal and request for precautionary measure are based on the protection of the rights of the Companies inherent in their licenses, the rights of Telecom Argentina’s minority shareholders and the rights of the Companies’ clients.
Sincerely,
Enrique Garrido
Chairman of the Board of Directors
