Securities and Exchange Commission

Dear Sirs,

RE.: Acceptance of resignation of Director – Appointment of replacing Director.

I am writing you as Chairman of Telecom Argentina S.A. (“Telecom Argentina” or the “Company”) to inform you the following:

 

  1.

As informed in our letter dated May 15, 2012, Mr Luca Luciani submitted his resignation as Director of the Company due to personal matters.

 

  2.

In the meeting held today, the Board of Directors of Telecom Argentina dealt with and accepted the resignation of Mr Luciani.

 

  3.

As the Alternate Directors of Mr Luciani declined to accept the position as Directors due to the time that such position demands, the Board of Directors of the Company requested the Supervisory Committee the designation of a director to cover the vacant position and to serve until the next Shareholders Meeting, pursuant to that stated in Section 258, second paragraph of the Argentine Corporations Law (“LSC”).

 

  4.

In accordance to Section 258 of the LSC, the Supervisory Committee appointed Mr Patrizio Graziani as Director, who qualifies as “non-independent director”, pursuant to the applicable criteria of the Comisión Nacional de Valores, and will serve in the position until the next Shareholders Meeting.

Sincerely,

Dr. Enrique Garrido

Chairman
