NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
We hereby inform the shareholders of the Company that management determined to change the date of the General Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company from the original date of February 8, 2006, at 2:00 PM to February 22, 2006, at 2:00 PM, in order to, among other matters, vote on the terms and conditions of (i) the merger of all the shares issued by Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S.A. (“TCO”) into the Company, in order to convert it into a wholly-owned subsidiary; and (ii) the merger of Tele Sudeste Celular Participações S.A. (“TSD”), Tele Leste Celular Participações S.A. (“TLE”) and Celular CRT Participações S.A. (“CRTPart”) into the Company (the “Merger”), as well as to vote to change the name of the Company to Vivo Participações S.A. This date change occurred on account of the registration process with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Merger, pursuant to the regulations of such commission, given the listing of the ADRs of TCP and other companies involved in the transaction on the New York Stock Exchange, which registration process has been completed.
We also inform the shareholders that the call notice for this shareholders’ meeting was released today containing specific information regarding the new date of the meeting and the agenda of the meeting, which is the same agenda as that previously published in the prior call notice.
Notice in accordance with SEC regulations: This Notice is not an offering document and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval. Investors in American Depositary Shares (ADSs) and U.S. holders of ordinary and preferred shares of the Company are urged to read the U.S. prospectus (which also serves as an information statement for holders of ADSs or U.S. holders of shares of the Company), which is already available, because it contains important information. The U.S. prospectus of the Company, which also serves as an information statement for investors in ADSs and U.S. holders of ordinary and preferred shares of the Company, was filed with the SEC as part of a Registration Statement on Form F-4 of TCP. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the U.S. prospectus and other documents filed by TCP with the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. A copy of the applicable U.S. prospectus may also be obtained for free from TCP.
