NOTICE OF CORPORATE ACTION
 
TELEFÓNICA MÓVILES, S.A.
 
 
Madrid, January 16th 2003
 
We hereby inform that Brasilcel N.V., having Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and PT Móveis respectively 50% of its share capital, and holding company of the shares of the cellular subsidiaries that both companies have in Brazil, has entered into an agreement (through its subsidiary Telesp Celular Participaçoes) with the Brazilian company Fixcel, for the acquisition of the 61.10% of the ordinary shares with voting rights of the Brazilian cellular company Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participaçoes (TCO), which represents 20.37% of the total Capital of TCO.
 
The price agreed for the purchase has been established in 1.408 millions Reais (approximately 404 millions euros). This price is subject to adjustments in accordance with the due diligence to be initiated at TCO in an early date. This adjusted price will serve as a basis for the price of the Tender Offer mentioned in the next paragraph.
 
The operation is structured in three different stages. First of all Brasilcel N.V., through its subsidiary Telesp Celular Participaçoes, will acquire to Fixcel the 61,10% of the voting ordinary shares of TCO. Once this acquisition is executed, pending on the approval of the Brazilian Regulatory authorities, a Tender offer for the acquisition of ordinary shares from non-controlling shareholders of TCO will be made, under the current Brazilian legislation of Capital Markets.
 
After the Acquisition and the Tender Offer are completed, an exchange offer of shares will be carried out. This exchange will confer to this Company the opportunity of controlling the 100% of the share Capital of TCO. The exchange ratio to be offered will be 1,27 preferred shares issued by TCP for each share of TCO. This ratio will be adjusted by the results of the aforementioned due diligence to be concluded at TCO and its controlled companies. With the exchange of shares, Brasilcel N.V. expects to reduce its direct or indirect participation in the share capital of Telesp Celular Participaçoes in an amount of approximately 51% of its total capital.
 
This Acquisition is part of the Agreement signed between Telefónica Móviles, S.A. and Portugal Telecom SGPS, S.A., by virtue of which both companies transferred all their assets in the Brazilian cellular market to a Joint Venture, in order to develop their cellular business in Brazil.
