Auditors report on financial statements
To the Stockholders of
Telefónica Móviles, S.A.:
1. | We have audited the financial statements of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. comprising the balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations and notes to financial statements for the year then ended. The preparation of these financial statements is the responsibility of the Companys directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole based on our audit work performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which require examination, by means of selective tests, of the documentation supporting the financial statements and evaluation of their presentation, of the accounting principles applied and of the estimates made. |
2. | As required by Spanish corporate law, for comparison purposes the directors present, in addition to the 2003 figures for each item in the balance sheet and statements of operations and of changes in financial position, the figures for 2002. Our opinion refers only to the 2003 financial statements. Our auditors report dated February 19, 2003 on the 2002 financial statements contained an unqualified opinion. |
3. | Pursuant to current legislation, in its financial statements the Company values its investments in accordance with the methods described in Note 4 to the financial statements referred to above and also prepares consolidated financial statements. On February 18, 2004, we issued our auditors report on the 2003 consolidated financial statements of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and Subsidiaries, in which we expressed an unqualified opinion. The Note 4 to the financial statements referred to above summarizes the main captions in the 2003 consolidated financial statements. |
4. | In our opinion, the financial statements for 2003 referred to above present, in all material respects, a true and fair view of the net worth and financial position of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. as of December 31, 2003, and of the results of its operations and of the finds obtained and applied by it in the year then ended, and contain the required information, sufficient for their proper interpretation and comprehension, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and standards applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year. |
5. | The accompanying management report for 2003 contains the explanations which the directors consider appropriate about the Companys situation, the evolution of its business and other matters, but is not an integral part of the financial statements. We have checked that the accounting information in the management report is consistent with that contained in the financial statements for 2003. Our work as auditors was confined to checking the management report with the aforementioned scope, and did not include a review of any information other than that drawn from the Companys accounting records. |

Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish and
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Spain (see Note 20).
In the event of a discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.
TELEFÓNICA MÓVILES S.A.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2003
1) INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION
On January 12, 2000, the Board of Directors of Telefónica, S.A. resolved to incorporate a company to group together all the Telefónica Groups wireless communications businesses in the world, which were located in Europe, Latin America and the Maghreb. Pursuant to this resolution, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. (the Company or Telefónica Móviles) with registered office at calle Goya, 24, Madrid (Spain), was incorporated on February 14, 2000.
The corporate purpose of Telefónica Móviles, per Article 2 of its bylaws, is the performance of all manner of activities in the field of telecommunications and value added services. All the business activities that constitute the corporate purpose may be performed either directly by the Company or through ownership interests in companies with an identical or similar corporate purpose.
On October 26, 2000, the Stockholders Meeting of Telefónica Móviles resolved to launch an initial public offering (IPO) through a capital increase. In November 2000 Telefónica Móviles, S.A. applied for the admission of its shares to listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), instrumented in American Depositary Shares (ADS), and on the Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona and Bilbao Stock Exchanges, and for the inclusion of its shares in the Spanish computerized trading system (continuous market). All the shares were subscribed in the initial public offering.
In 2002, pursuant to the resolutions adopted by the Stockholders Meeting of Telefónica Móviles, S.A., the holdings detailed below were transferred by means of capital increases through nonmonetary contributions carried out by Telefónica, S.A. under the special regime provided for in Chapter VIII, Title VIII of Corporate Income Tax Law 43/1995. These nonmonetary contributions (see Notes 8 and 10), which were made in order to continue grouping together the Telefónica Groups wireless communications businesses in Telefónica Móviles, were as follows:
| Contribution, on May 24, 2002, of a 13.58% holding of Tele Leste Celular Participações, S.A., representing 33.36% of voting stock, through the contribution of its parent company Iberoleste Participações, S.A. for 113,196 thousand. |
| Contribution, on May 29, 2002, for a total amount of 103,565 thousand, of the following holdings in Brazilian companies: |
| Contribution of a 1.55% holding in Celular CRT Participações, S.A., representing 4.20% of its voting stock, through the contribution of its parent company TBS Celular Participações, S.A. for 25,909 thousand. |
5
| Contribution of a holding of 1.14%, representing 3.30% of the voting stock, of Tele Sudeste Celular Participações, S.A., through contributions both of this company and through its parent company Sudestecel Participações, S.A. for 64,063 thousand. |
| Contribution of a holding of 3.38%, representing 3.17% of the voting stock, of Tele Leste Celular Participações, S.A. for 13,593 thousand. |
The value for tax purposes of the new holdings used in these two transactions, which were performed on May 24 and 29, 2002, was approximately 227,955 thousand.
In 2000 and 2001 certain Telefónica Móviles Group companies obtained third-generation wireless telephony (UMTS) licenses in Spain, Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland.
In 2002, in view of the continuing delay in the commercial availability of third-generation (UMTS) technology, the significant downward revisions of the estimated demand for 3G services and the increased penetration of European markets by already-established operators, Telefónica Móviles reviewed the assumptions underlying the business plans of its investees in Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland, reconsidering its short- and medium-term strategies in these countries, and decided (i) to put on hold its second-generation commercial activities in Germany and (ii) to request independent experts to assess the business plans of the aforementioned UMTS operators.
Based on the new assessments obtained, and to ensure that the investments are correctly valued at all times, Telefónica Móviles decided in 2002 to eliminate the risk exposure in its books relating to the investments in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Regarding the investment in Italy, the license terms and conditions make it possible to implement business plans with lower investments than in the other countries, since assignment of the right to use the spectrum is envisaged.
Following the revaluation of the investment in Telefónica Móviles España, S.A., parent company of the European operators (see Note 8-b), Telefónica Móviles recorded as of December 31, 2002, losses of 3,378 million in this connection. On December 23, 2003, Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. sold its investment in 3G Mobile Telecomunications GmbH (holder of the UMTS license in Austria) for 13,650 thousand. Telefónica Móviles continues to do its utmost to obtain value from the aforementioned UMTS investments.
It should be noted that, although these writedowns led to the recording of losses in 2002 by Telefónica Móviles, S.A., these losses did not give rise to an additional cash disbursement (except for the expenses relating to termination of contracts and labor force restructuring) and reduced the financial risk exposure in these markets.
2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
a) True and fair view
The financial statements were prepared from the accounting records of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. All the accounting regulations in force were applied, and, accordingly, these financial statements give a true and fair view of the net worth, financial position, results of operations and funds obtained and applied in 2003 and 2002.
These financial statements as of December 31, 2003, which were prepared by the Companys directors, will be submitted for approval by the Stockholders Meeting, and it is considered that they will be approved without any changes.
6
The figures shown in the documents composing the financial statements and in the management report are expressed in thousands of euros, unless indicated otherwise.
b) Comparative information
There were no changes in the structure of the prior years balance sheet and statement of operations. In order to facilitate comparison with and presentation of the 2002 data, additional information has been included and nonmaterial reclassifications have been made in some of the notes composing these financial statements.
Except for the accounting effect of the decisions adopted with regard to the operations of the European subsidiaries described in Note 1, there were no significant events preventing comparison of the amounts relating to the reporting year with those of the preceding year.
3) DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME
The Board of Directors will propose for approval by the Stockholders Meeting the following distribution of income:
Thousands of Euros | ||
Income for the year |
1,266,686 | |

4) VALUATION STANDARDS
The main valuation methods used by the Company in preparing its financial statements for 2003 and 2002, in accordance with the Spanish National Chart of accounts, were as follows:
a) Start-up expenses
Start-up expenses, which comprise incorporation and capital increase expenses, are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.
b) Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are carried at the lower of cost or market.
7
The Company depreciates its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets by the straight-line method at annual rates based on the following years of estimated useful life:
Years of Estimated | ||
Intellectual property |
5 | |
Computer software |
3 | |
Furniture |
5 | |
Computer hardware |
3 | |
Plant |
5 |
The costs of maintenance and repairs of property, plant and equipment that do not lead to improvements or to a lengthening of the useful lives of the assets are expensed currently.
c) Long-term investments
Long-term investments are recorded at cost net, where appropriate, of the required allowances calculated on the basis of their underlying book value, obtained from the investees financial statements, adjusted by the amount of the unrealized gains disclosed at the time of the acquisition and still existing at year-end.
The Company has majority holdings in the capital stock of certain companies and significant holdings in other companies. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect the increases in value that would arise from applying consolidation methods for the majority holdings, or from accounting for the holdings in associated companies by the equity method.
The Company has prepared separate consolidated financial statements. The main captions in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and in the consolidated statements of operations for 2003 and 2002 are summarized as follows:

Income (Loss) for the year |
1,607,838 | (3,730,721 | ) |
d) Short-term investments
Short-term investments are valued at face value plus the accrued interest receivable at year-end.
e) Corporate income tax
The expense for corporate income tax of each year is calculated on the basis of book income before taxes, increased or decreased, as appropriate, by the permanent differences from taxable income, net of tax relief and tax credits, excluding tax withholdings and prepayments.
Deferred tax assets are recorded when their future recovery is reasonably assured. Deferred tax assets which will foreseeably be reversed over a period exceeding 10 years are not recognized, except if there are deferred tax liabilities for the same or higher amount and their reversal period is the same as that of the deferred tax assets.
8
The Company files corporate income tax returns with the Telefónica, S.A. consolidated tax group and, accordingly, the tax asset arising from the tax loss carryforwards is recorded under the Loans to Telefónica Group Companies in the accompanying balance sheets (see Note 11).
f) Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at their equivalent euro value, applying the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date.
The gains or losses on foreign currency transactions arising from the settlement of foreign currency balances are recognized as a revenue or an expense, as appropriate, when they arise.
Foreign currency receivables and payables at year-end are translated to euros at the exchange rates prevailing at that date, or at the exchange rate established in hedging transactions, and are classified by due date and currency, and for this purpose currencies which, although different, are officially convertible are grouped together.
The resulting positive net differences are recorded under the Deferred Revenues caption on the liability side of the balance sheet, unless they have been charged to income in prior years or, in the current year, to the Exchange Losses account. In the latter case, the positive differences are credited to period income up to the limit of the negative net differences charged to income in prior years or in the current year. Negative differences are charged directly to income.
Foreign currency transactions to specifically finance investments in investees are deemed to be hedging transactions when the foreign currency in which the financing is denominated is either the same as or is correlated with the functional currency of the investees country and of the cash flows generated by the investment, and the expected flows of dividends and management fees are sufficient to ensure full repayment of the loans concerned throughout their term. Consequently, to ensure the appropriate matching of revenues and expenses, the exchange differences on these loan adjustments are allocated to the Deferred Revenues or Deferred Charges captions and are amortized based on the maturity of the loans. As of December 31, 2003, 5,794 thousand were recorded in this connection under the Deferred Expenses caption. As of December 31, 2002, 4,594 thousand and 32,132 thousand were recorded in this connection under the Deferred Charges and Deferred Revenues captions, respectively.
g) Classification of debt
In the accompanying balance sheets, the accounts receivable and payable maturing in under 12 months from the balance-sheet date are classified as short-term receivables and payables.
h) Recognition of revenues and expenses
Revenues and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis, i.e. when the actual flow of the related goods and services occurs, regardless of when the resulting monetary or financial flow arises.
However, in accordance with the accounting principle of prudence, foreseeable contingencies and losses, including possible losses, are recorded as soon as they become known.
9
i) Derivative products
Derivates transactions whose purpose and effect is to eliminate or significantly reduce currency, interest rate or market risks on asset and liability positions or other transactions are treated as hedging transactions. The gains or losses arising during the life of these derivatives are accrued and taken to the income statement symmetrically to the gains or losses on the hedged asset (see Note 16).
Transactions which, exceptionally, were not assigned to hedge risks, are not treated as hedging transactions. In transactions of this kind, the related provision is recorded with a charge to the statement of operations as soon as the potential losses are anticipated; gains are recorded when finally settled.
j) Pension plan
Telefónica Móviles, S.A. has arranged a pension plan pursuant to Pension Plans and Funds Law 8/1987, with the following features:
| Contribution of between 4.51% and 6.87% of the participants regulatory salary. |
| Obligatory contribution for participants of a minimum of 2.2% of their salary. |
| Individual financial capitalization system. |
The plan is assigned to FONDITEL B, FONDO DE PENSIONES, managed by the Telefónica Group company FONDITEL. The amount of the contributions made by the Company in 2003 and 2002 totaled 963 thousand and 972 thousand, respectively, and are included under the Personnel Expenses caption in the accompanying statement of operations.
5) START-UP EXPENSES
Start-up expenses comprise incorporation and capital increase expenses and are recorded at cost. They relate mainly to the costs incurred in 2000 in connection with the initial public offering (see Note 1).
The detail of the Start-up Expenses account and the variations therein in 2002 and 2003 is as follows:

Due to the new market circumstances and in view of the expected performance of Telefónica Móviles, S.A.s subsidiaries developing UMTS technology in Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland, new business plans were prepared in July 2002 which, based on the new assumptions, gave rise to an adjustment of the value of the aforementioned businesses.
17
The Boards of Directors of Group 3G UMTS Holding GmbH, 3G Mobile Telecommunications GmbH and 3G Mobile AG approved these new business plans in 2002, and made the appropriate value adjustments in the aforementioned countries. Accordingly, Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. had to record provisions for these investments and therefore recorded a loss in 2002. Due to the decrease in the stockholders equity of Telefónica Móviles España, S.A. as a result of the foregoing, in 2002 the Company recorded a provision of 3,378,196 thousand, of which 933,211 thousand are recorded under the Variation in Investment Valuation Allowances caption and 2,444,985 thousand under the Extraordinary Expenses caption. In 2003, 1,856,632 thousand of the provision for contingencies and expenses were reversed and this amount is recorded under the Extraordinary Revenues caption (see Note 13-b).
Due to the decrease in the stockholders equity of Telefónica Móviles Interacciona, S.A. (formerly known as Terra Mobile, S.A.) as a result of the dissolution of Iobox Oy and the closure of its subsidiaries, in 2002 the Company recorded a provision of 184,937 thousand, of which 111,243 thousand are recorded under the Variation in Investment Valuation Allowances caption and 73,694 under the Extraordinary Expenses caption. In 2003, due to the sale of Telefónica Móviles Interacciona, S.A. to Telefónica Móviles España, S.A., the Company reversed 233,770 thousand of the investment valuation allowance and 72,069 thousand of the provision for contingencies and expenses. These amounts are recorded under the Extraordinary Revenues caption (see Note 13-b).
In view of its international presence, Telefónica Móviles, like other corporations, has been affected by the economic situation in Argentina. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Telefónica Móviles Groups net investment in the various Argentine companies amounted to 116,048 thousand and 121,731 thousand, respectively, including the net value of the investments and financing provided.
At 2003 and 2002 year-end, with the normal currency exchange market re-established, the exchange rate used was ARP 3.5341/1 (ARP 3.37/US$ 1) and ARP 3.7006/1 (ARP 2.93/US$ 1), respectively. The accumulated allowances recorded by Telefónica Móviles Argentina, S.A. in this connection as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 amounted to 953,443 thousand and 1,045,983 thousand, respectively. 92,540 thousand of the provision for contingencies and expenses were reversed and are recorded under the Extraordinary Revenues caption (see Note 13-b). The business plans prepared by the Company envisage the obtainment of sufficient income by the Argentine investee to guarantee the recovery of the Telefónica Móviles Groups net investment in Argentina.
9) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

The loans granted to Group companies bear interest at market rates.

The Company files consolidated corporate income tax returns as part of the Telefónica Group and, accordingly, is not obliged to pay its tax debt directly to the Spanish Tax Authorities, and all the tax assets and tax bases up to the ceiling of the deduction for the consolidated group are transferred to Telefónica, S.A., and a balance receivable from or payable to the parent company is recorded for the tax loss or tax debt, respectively, of Telefónica Móviles. This balance is recorded under the Loans to Telefónica Group Companies caption if a tax loss is reported by Telefónica Móviles, S.A. or under the Payable to Telefónica Group Companies caption if a tax debt is transferred to the parent company.
As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, of the total amount of tax losses available for offset, those that constituted, in accordance with the accounting principle of prudence, tax assets amounted to 425,173 thousand and 317,567 thousand, respectively, and these amounts are recorded under the LongTerm Investments - Loans to Telefónica Group Companies caption in the accompanying balance sheets. These losses may be offset against the taxable income of the 15 years following that in which they were incurred (see Note 4-e).
26
On September 25, 2002, Telefónica Móviles received an advice from the Spanish Tax Inspection Office notifying it of the commencement of a 12-month period of review and investigation which would cover the following items and years:

| Tax on income from moveable capital withholdings/prepayments: 2000 and 2001 |
| Nonresident income tax withholdings: 2000 and 2001 |
Subsequently, on June 10, 2003, it was informed by the Authority conducting the review and investigation that this process was extended for another 12 months.
Accordingly, the years open for review as of December 31, 2003, were as follows:
| Corporate income tax: 2000 to 2003 |
| VAT: 2000 to 2003 |
| Personal income tax withholdings and prepayments: 2000 to 2003 |

The tax base thus calculated, in accordance with ICAC regulations and with the accounting principle of prudence, gives rise to tax assets which can be reorganized for accounting purposes.
The permanent differences arose mainly from the reversal of long-term investment valuation provisions deemed to be nondeductible for tax purposes in prior years.
Also, the Company made a negative adjustment of 2,137,243 thousand in its corporate income tax settlement for fiscal 2002, as a result of the transfer in 2002 of certain holdings acquired in prior years the market value of which differed from the book value at which they were recorded (underlying book value) because the Company availed itself of Article 159 of the Corporations Law. This adjustment was not taken into account for accounting purposes because the stance taken by the tax authorities differs from the Company´s interpretation of this issue.

17) OTHER COMMITMENTS
Stock option plan-
On October 26, 2000, the Special Stockholders Meeting of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. authorized the establishment of a Telefónica Móviles, S.A. stock option plan for the executives and employees of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and its subsidiaries and, in order to facilitate coverage of the Companys obligations to the beneficiaries of the plan, resolved to increase the capital stock of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. by 11,400,000 through the issuance of 22,800,000 shares of 0.50 par value each.
Subsequently, on June 1, 2001, the Annual Stockholders Meeting of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. approved the introduction of certain modifications and clarifications of the stock option plan with a view to making it more attractive and a more efficient mechanism for motivating and building the loyalty of its beneficiaries.
Lastly, on September 21, 2001, the Board of Directors of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. resolved to implement and design, in conformity with the aforementioned resolutions of the Stockholders Meetings on October 26, 2000 and June 1, 2001, the terms and conditions of the stock option plan. The main features of this plan are as follows:
1. | The plan is open to all the executive directors, executives (including general managers, etc.) and employees who on December 1, 2001, were working for companies in which Telefónica Móviles directly or indirectly, during the term of the Plan (i) has a holding with voting rights of over 50%, or (ii) has the right to appoint over 50% of the members of the Board of Directors. |
Without prejudice to the above, the MOS Program envisages the possibility of granting new options at dates subsequent to its initial implementation. Pursuant to this plan, the Board of Directors, based on a report of the Appointments and Compensation Committee, resolved to award options to the new companies which, on joining the Telefónica Móviles Group, fulfilled the aforementioned requirements, and to new employees of companies already
39
participating in the MOS Program, provided they were hired latest by December 31, 2003. As a result, in 2002 and through December 2003 new beneficiaries were included in the MOS Program. Also in 2003, certain companies were excluded from the MOS Program since they no longer met the requirements for adhesion to the plan.
2. | There are three types of option: |
| Type A options, with an exercise price of 11. |
| Type B options, with an exercise price of 16.5. |
| Type C options, with an exercise price of 7.235. |
3. | Each beneficiary of the Program will receive an equal number of type A and type B options and a number of type C options equal to the sum of the type A and type B options received. |
4. | The executive directors and executives who are beneficiaries of the MOS Program must place a deposit on one share of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. for every 20 options assigned to them. |
5. | Each option, regardless of its type, will entitle its holder to receive one share of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. |
6. | The options may be exercised at a rate of one-third each year from the day after the day on which two, three and four years have elapsed since the date on which the options were assigned (January 2, 2002). The first period for exercise began on January 2, 2004. |
7. | At the exercise date, the options may be exercised, at the beneficiarys request, either (i) through delivery of shares of Telefónica Móviles, S.A., once the beneficiary has paid the option exercise price, or (ii) by the cashless for cash method. |
The first phase of the plan commenced on January 2, 2002. On June 1, 2002, the second phase of the plan commenced and covered the companies and new employees who fulfilled the requirements envisaged in the plan. The second phase ended on December 31, 2003. The number of beneficiaries under the MOS Program totaled 8,434, of whom, one is an executive director and eight are general managers or similar executives of Telefónica Móviles, S.A. As of December 31, 2003, 12,819,072 options had been assigned
In 2003, 3,991 participants, the holders of 3,573,091 options, were excluded from the plan. The amount paid in 2004 for early exercise of these options to the beneficiaries as a whole was 1,156 thousand.
In order to provide coverage for the MOS Program, on September 21, 2001, the Board of Directors resolved to carry out the capital increase approved by the Special Stockholders Meeting on October 26, 2000. Since the capital increase was not subscribed in full, the Company issued 21,445,962 shares of 0.50 par value each, which were fully subscribed and paid by BBVA and La Caixa (50% each).
40
On September 27, 2001, Telefónica Móviles, S.A., on the one hand, and BBVA and La Caixa, on the other, entered into the related share subscription and purchase option agreements under which the two aforementioned financial institutions granted Telefónica Móviles, S.A. a purchase option on each of the shares subscribed in order to enable Telefónica Móviles, S.A. to meet its commitments to the beneficiaries of the MOS Program, as described above.
The implementation of the MOS Program and the capital increase at Telefónica Móviles, S.A. to provide coverage for the plan were notified to the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and published in the Abridged Prospectus, which was verified and registered in the CNMVs Official Register on November 2, 2001.
Agreements with Portugal Telecom-
On January 23, 2001, Telefónica, S.A. and its subsidiary Telefónica Móviles, S.A., on the one hand, and Portugal Telecom SGPS, S.A. and its subsidiary PT Móveis, SGPS, S.A., on the other, entered into an agreement in order to group together all the wireless telephony businesses in Brazil and, accordingly, they undertook to contribute their wireless telephony assets in Brazil to a joint venture which, subject to the obtainment of the necessary regulatory authorizations, would be a subsidiary of the two groups, and in which they would each have a 50% ownership interest. Also, under the terms of this agreement, the two parties expressed their interest in increasing their reciprocal ownership interests, subject to compliance with the applicable regulatory and bylaw conditions.
On October 17, 2002, Telefónica Móviles, S.A., on the one hand, and Portugal Telecom SGPS, S.A. and its subsidiary PT Móveis SGPS, S.A., on the other, entered into the definitive agreements (Stockholders Agreement and Subscription Agreement) that implement the aforementioned agreement signed in January 2001. On December 27, 2002 (after having obtained the necessary authorizations), the two groups holdings in their respective Brazilian wireless telephony operators were contributed to a Dutch joint venture, Brasilcel N.V., in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned Subscription Agreement (see Note 8-a).
In accordance with the aforementioned definitive agreements, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and the Portugal Telecom Group will have the same voting rights at Brasilcel, N.V. This equality in voting rights will cease to exist if, as a result of capital increases at Brasilcel, N.V., the percentage of ownership of one of the parties falls below 40% during an uninterrupted period of six months. In this event, if the group with the reduced interest were the Portugal Telecom Group, it would be entitled to sell to Telefónica Móviles, S.A., which would be obliged to buy (directly or through another company), all of Portugal Telecoms ownership interest in Brasilcel N.V. This right expires on December 31, 2007. The price for the acquisition of the Portugal Telecom Groups holding in Brasilcel, N.V. would be calculated on the basis of an independent appraisal (in the terms provided for in the definitive agreements) performed by investment banks, selected using the procedure established in these agreements. Subject to certain conditions, the payment could be made, at Telefónica Móviles choice, in (i) cash, (ii) Telefónica Móviles S.A. shares and/or Telefónica, S.A. shares, or (iii) a combination of the two. This sale option would be exercisable in the 12 months subsequent to the end of the aforementioned six-month period, provided that the Portugal Telecom Group had not increased its ownership interest to 50% of the total capital stock of Brasilcel N.V.
Also, in accordance with the definitive agreements, the Portugal Telecom Group will be entitled to sell to Telefónica Móviles, S.A., which will be obliged to buy, its holding in Brasilcel, N.V. should there be a change in control at Telefónica, S.A., Telefónica Móviles, S.A. or any other subsidiary of the latter that held a direct or indirect ownership interest in Brasilcel N.V. Similarly, Telefónica Móviles, S.A. will be entitled to sell to the Portugal Telecom Group, which will be obliged to buy, its holding in Brasicel, N.V. if there is a change of control at
41
Portugal Telecom SGPS, S.A., PT Móveis SGPS, S.A. or any other subsidiary of either company that held a direct or indirect ownership interest in Brasilcel N.V. The price will be determined on the basis of an independent appraisal (in the terms provided for in the definitive agreements) performed by investment banks, selected using the procedure established in these agreements. The related payment could be made, at the choice of the group exercising the sale option, in cash or in shares of the wireless telephony operators contributed by the related party, making up the difference, if any, in cash.
Agreements for the acquisition of Pegaso-
Under the agreements signed for the acquisition of Pegaso, the Burillo Group is allowed various methods for withdrawal from the Group instrumented through sale option rights on its holding in Telefónica Móviles México, S.A. de C.V. The Burillo Group may exercise its sale option right in 2007 or 2008, or when and if its holding in the Company is reduced to below 50% of the original holding. In the event the Burillo Group does not exercise its sale option right, Telefónica Móviles may exercise its purchase option right on the Burillo Groups shares in the Company. The share purchase price will be based on a valuation of the Company at the date on which the rights are exercised. Under the agreements signed, a portion of the purchase price will be paid in cash, this amount being based on the Burillo Groups original investment in the Company, plus interest, and net of any cash distributed to the Burillo Group. The remaining portion of the purchase price, if any, will be paid either in cash or in Telefónica Móviles shares, or a combination of both these methods, at the discretion of Telefónica Móviles.
Additionally, the agreement signed between the stockholders grants the Burillo Group certain rights to veto agreements regarding share class conversion, declaration of bankruptcy or suspensión de pagos (a Chapter 11-type insolvency proceeding), dissolution or liquidation, bylaw amendments which might harm the Burillo Groups rights, and mergers or corporate restructuring processes which deny the Burillo Group the opportunity to maintain a certain ownership percentage.

Telefónica Móviles S.A. guarantees the commitments assumed by Grupo de Telecomunicaciones Mexicanos S.A de C.V. (GTM) to the regulatory body COFETEL for the national long-distance license obtained, up to a maximum amount of 124,154,700 Mexican pesos.
