Dear Sirs,
Ref.: Chapter XXI.2 of the Rules (NT 2001).
I am writing you as Attorney-in-fact of Telecom Argentina S.A. (the “Company” or “Telecom Argentina”) to inform you in accordance to the referred rule, that in its meeting of last Friday September 24, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to call shareholders of an Ordinary General Meeting to be held on November 2, 2004 to deal with the issuance of Notes (“Obligaciones Negociables”) to be delivered in exchanged of currently existing debt, in the context to the debt restructuring process.
The relevant documentation to be submitted in anticipation to the summoned shareholders meeting, will be sent in due time.
Furthermore, as informed in previous occasions, the controlled subsidiary Telecom Personal S.A. (“Telecom Personal”) has launched the proposal to restructure its debt. Telecom Argentina, as creditor to Telecom Personal for an amount of P$78,209,225, has had the opportunity to elect one of the three options offered to all creditors (options A, B and C), by which the transaction can be considered under normal and ordinary market conditions. In the meeting of September 24, 2004 the Board of Directors of Telecom Argentina, with the participation of the members of the Audit Committee, has ratified the decision of the officers of the Company, in relation to the debt restructuring proposal of Telecom Personal, that have elected Option A denominated in US Dollars.
