Buenos Aires, June 10, 2013
Mr. Chairman of the
Comisión Nacional de Valores
Lic. Alejandro Vanoli
Dear Sirs,
| RE.: | Notification of initiation of proceedings entitled “FEDERACIÓN ARGENTINA DE LAS TELECOMUNICACIONES Y OTROS c/ TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A. s/PART. ACCION. OBRERO”. Expte N° 17185/13. (Argentine Telecommunications Federation and others vs. Telecom Argentina S.A. File No. 17185/13) |
I am writing to you as Responsible for Market Relations of Telecom Argentina S.A (“Telecom Argentina” or the “Company”) to inform you that Telecom Argentina was notified of the above referenced lawsuit, that was filed in the Federal Court of Labor First Instance No. 19 of the City of Buenos Aires.
The legal action has been brought by the “Federación Argentina de las Telecomunicaciones” (the Argentine Telecommunications Federation or FATEL), the “Unión Personal Jerárquico de Empresas de Telecomunicaciones” (the Telecommunications Union or UPJET), the “Federación de Organizaciones del Personal de Supervisión y Técnicos Telefónicos Argentinos” (the Technical and Supervisory Telephone Personnel Federation or FOPSTTA) and the “Federación de Obreros, Especialistas y Empleados de los Servicios e Industrias de las Telecomunicaciones de la República Argentina” (the Argentine Federation of Telephone Workers and Employees or FOEESITRA).
The referred union organizations are demanding that Telecom Argentina implement a profit sharing bond for all its employees, for past periods not prescribed as well as for the future, asserting that it is a right provided for in Article 29 of Law No. 23,696.
The amount of the claim has not been specified, and at this time it is impossible to determine with reasonable accuracy or certainty an amount of potential claim.
The Company is analyzing the issue with the assistance of external advisors and expects to provide further information after the response to the claim is presented.
Sincerely,
| Telecom Argentina S.A. |
| /s/ Pedro Insussarry |
| Reponsible for Market Relations |
