POSITION AT TELEFÓNICA MÓVILES - SPAIN

Fernando Abella was invited to undertake a new position in the management of Telefónica Móviles, headquartered in Madrid, where he will be in charge of controlling and developing the company’s businesses in Latin America.

The selection of Fernando Abella, current Vice-President - Finance, Control and Resources and Investor Relations Officer of the above referred Companies, which operate under “Vivo”brand, for these new functions, is a result of his contribution to the Telefónica Group as well as of the important role he has played in the company in Brazil, with which he has been working for 5 years.

The decision is pending ratification by the Boards of Directors of the “Vivo” holding companies and, meanwhile, Fernando Abella shall continue exercising his duties until being replaced by his successor, Arcadio Martinez, who already works in Brazil, in the General Control Management of those Companies.
