Based on articles 224, 225, 227, 229 and 264 of the Law #6404, dated as of December 15, 1976 (Corporate Law) and CVM Instruction #319/99, the Companies DECIDE to sign the present Contract and Justification of the Merger and Partial Spin-Off (Contract), which establishes the terms and conditions of the merger and partial spin-off proposals that shall be submitted for the consideration of their respective shareholders, as established below:
1. | SUMMARY OF THE OPERATION |
1.1. | The objective of the current Contract is the proposal for the restructuring of the SCM activities of TELESP and T EMPRESAS (Restructuring), comprising: (i) the merger of TDBH into TELESP, companies with a common controller, in the terms of articles 227 and 264 of the Corporate Law (Merger); and (ii) the partial spin-off of T EMPRESAS, transferring to TELESP the assets and activities related to the SCM in the regions where such services are already rendered by TELESP, in the terms of article 229 of the Corporate Law (Spin-off). |
1.2. | Once the Restructuring is approved: (i) TDBH will be extinguished; (ii) its shareholders will receive common or preferred shares, or American Depositary Shares (ADS), as appropriate, issued by TELESP and following the exchange ratio established in Section 5, below; (iii) TELESP will succeed TDBH in all its rights and obligations; and (iv) T EMPRESAS will become a fully owned subsidiary of TELESP, with the assets and activities related to the SCM in the regions where such service is not rendered by TELESP, as well as the IT and data center assets and activities that are of its property. |
2
2. | JUSTIFICATION OF THE OPERATION |
2.1. | TDBH is a holding company whose main asset is the stake of 100% in the capital stock of TELEFÔNICA EMPRESAS S.A., a nationwide SCM operator. |
2.2. | TELESP, besides rendering the Switched Fixed Telephony Service (STFC), is also a SCM operator in sectors 31, 32 and 34 of Region III of the Annex II of the General Concession Plan (Decree #2534, dated as of April 02, 1998). |
2.3. | TELESP has another fully owned subsidiary, A. TELECOM S.A., a company with headquarters located at Rua do Rocío #291, 2nd Floor, São Paulo, state of São Paulo, registered under CNPJ/MF #03.498.897/0001-13, with its bylaws registered at Junta Comercial do Estado de São Paulo JUCESP under NIRE 35.3.0017438.1 (A. TELECOM), that renders nationwide SCM services, except in sectors 31, 32 and 34 of Region III of Annex II of the General Concession Plan do Plano (where the exploitation of the SCM is carried out directly by TELESP). |
2.4. | TDBH was created in January 2001 as the result of the partial spin-off of TELESP. At that time and based on the opinion of the external consultants, the management of TELESP understood that it would be in the best interest of the company to segregate the assets related to the rendering of the Switched Packaged Network services, transferring all the shares of T EMPRESAS to the then newly-created TDBH. |
2.5. | After five years, the managements of TELESP and TDBH understand that the segregation of T EMPRESAS reached the expected objectives, which were: (i) consolidation of the SCM services in the corporate segment, both in terms of the technical specialty as well as the client portfolio; and (ii) execution of specific investments that allowed a significant growth of TEMPRESAS. Nevertheless, the managements of TELESP and TDBH understand that the considerable increase in competition within this market, currently dominated by companies directly tied to communication companies linked to large national and foreign groups, and the transactional costs and the opportunities for merging expertise to address the technological convergence and the development of new products dictate new conditions and projections for the segment in which the companies operate, which justify and validate the decision to merge its operations. |
3
2.6. | With the Merger of TDBH into TELESP, T EMPRESAS will become a fully owned subsidiary of TELESP, similar to A TELECOM. Following suit and through the Spin-Off, the assets and activities related to the SCM service of T EMPRESAS in sectors 31, 32 and 34 of Region III of Annex II of the General Concession Plan will be transferred to TELESP, thus concentrating the SCM activities in those areas within TELESP. |
2.7. | As the next step, it is intended to promote the merger of A TELECOM into T EMPRESAS, or vice-versa, in order to concentrate, in one single subsidiary of TELESP, the exploitation of the SCM activities in the remaining part of the national territory. |
2.8. | The management of the Companies recommend the approval of the Merger and Spin-Off proposals in the terms of this Contract, since they understand that the Restructuring will result in the following benefits for the Companies and their respective shareholders: |
(a) | Higher administrative, commercial, operating, fiscal and financial efficiencies regarding data transmission operations performed by T EMPRESAS, A TELECOM and TELESP; |
(b) | Increase in the liquidity of the shares, especially for the shareholders of TDBH, but also for the shareholders of TELESP; and |
(c) | Reduction of costs after merging all the activities of all the companies under just one listed company, TELESP. |
3. | CORPORATE APPROVALS |
3.1. | On this date, the Executive Management of TDBH submitted to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the TDBH the proposal for its merger into TELESP. The Executive Management of T EMPRESAS also submitted to the same organs the proposal for the partial spin-off of T EMPRESAS and the subsequent merger of the spun-off part into TELESP. The Board of Directors of TDBH approved the signing of the present Contract and the Audit Committee of TDBH, after due analysis of the operation, issued a favorable opinion to the Merger and Spin-Off and to the terms of the supporting documents of the proposals of the Executive Managements, according to the terms of paragraph III of article 163 of the Corporate Law. Therefore, the Board of Directors of TDBH |
4
decided to submit the Restructuring and the documents related to the operation for the deliberation of the General Shareholders Meetings of TDBH and T EMPRESAS, deciding to call for the respective extraordinary general shareholders meetings for that effect. |
3.2. | The Executive Management of TELESP today submitted to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee the proposal for the Merger of TDBH, as well as the proposal for the partial spin-off of T EMPRESAS, with the subsequent merger of the spun-off part into TELESP. The Board of Directors of TELESP approved the signing of the present Contract and the Audit Committee of TELESP, after due analysis of the operation, issued an opinion favorable to the Merger and Spin-Off and to the terms of the supporting documents of the proposal of the Executive Management, according to the terms of paragraph III of article 163 of the Corporate Law. Therefore, the Board of Directors of TELESP also decided to submit the Restructuring and the documents related to the operation for the deliberation of the General Shareholders Meeting of TELESP, deciding to call for an extraordinary general shareholders meeting for that effect. |

4.4. | The shares of TDBH will be canceled as a result of the Merger and replaced by common or preferred shares or ADS, as appropriate, issued by TELESP, in the terms of the exchange ratio established in the Section 5 of this Contract.

5. | APPRAISALS AND EXCHANGE RATIO |
(i) | Appraisal by the Accounting Equity Value |
5.1. | The increase in the capital stock of TELESP, resulting from the Merger and in the terms of Section 6 below, will be carried out based on the Appraisal of the Net Equity of TDBH, issued on March 06, 2006 by Hirashima & Associados Ltda, a limited company with headquarters located at Rua Flórida #1758, conjunto 11, São Paulo, state of São Paulo, registered under CNPJ/MF #005.215.691/0001-64 and under C.R.C. #2SP0222465/O-4 (Hirashima), specially hired for such purpose, according to the opinion that constitutes Annex I of the present Contract. The appraisal executed by Hirashima was made using the accounting principle of measuring the net equity value of TDBH, based on the constant elements of its balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, audited by Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes S.S. (Ernst & Young). According to the accounting appraisal, the net equity value of TDBH, as of December 31, 2005, was R$597,164,881.58 (five hundred ninety seven million, one hundred sixty four thousand, eight hundred eighty one Reais and fifty eight cents). |

6
Accounting Value for the purpose of the Spin-Off and Merger of T EMPRESAS, issued on March 06, 2006 by Hirashima, specially hired for such purpose, according to the opinion that constitutes Annex II of the present Contract. The appraisal executed by Hirashima was made using the accounting principle of measuring the net equity value of T EMPRESAS, based on the constant elements of its balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, audited by Ernst & Young. According to the accounting appraisal, the net equity value of T EMPRESAS, as of December 31, 2005, was R$304,234,227.25 (three hundred four million, two hundred thirty four thousand, two hundred twenty seven Reais and twenty five cents) and the accounting equity value of the spun-off part, also as of December 31, 2005, was R$273,797,261.22 (two hundred seventy three million, seven hundred ninety seven thousand, two hundred sixty one Reais and twenty two cents). As described with further details in Section 7, the merger of the spun-off part of T EMPRESAS into TELESP will not result in an increase nor a reduction of the net equity of TELESP, nor will the number of shares that compose its capital stock vary. |
(ii) | Appraisal by the Economic and Financial Value |
5.3. | In order to support the process of determining the exchange ratio of shares of TDBH by shares of TELESP, and according to the established in article 31 of the bylaws of TELESP and TDBH, the managements of the companies hired NM Rothschild & Sons (Brasil) Ltda., with headquarters located at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima #2055, 18th Floor, São Paulo, state of São Paulo, registered under CNPJ/MF #32.210.791/0001-70 (Rothschild), to prepare the economic and financial analysis of TDBH and TELESP (Financial Analysis), that constitute Annex III of the present Contract. |
5.4. | The managements of TELESP and TDBH understand that the discounted free cash flow method used by Rothschild is the one that better reflects the value of TDBH and TELESP. Using the average of the value range determined by Rothschild, the following exchange ratio was found: |
EXCHANGE RATIO ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL VALUE | ||

Preferred shares | 1 share of TELESP for each group of 75,389 shares of TDBH | |
ADS1 | 1 ADS of TELESP for each group of 1.50778 ADSs of TDBH |
1 | Each ADS of TDBH represents 50,000 preferred shares of the Company |
7
5.5. | In case that, due to the exchange ratio, the shareholders of TDBH have the right to a fraction of a share of TELESP, they will be paid pro rata of their respective fractions. The amount paid will be the net value at market prices of the grouped fractions, determined in an auction (or auctions if needed) to be held at BOVESPA. Such payment to the shareholders of TDBH will be carried on up to 5 (five) business days after the last auction takes place. |
(iii) | Appraisal by the Equity Value at Market Prices |
5.6. | In accordance with the established by article 264 of the Corporate Law, the appraisals of the net equities at market prices for TDBH and TELESP, for comparison purposes of the calculation of the exchange ratio of shares of TDBH by shares of TELESP, were conducted by KPMG Corporate Finance Ltda., with headquarters located at Rua Dr. Renato Paes de Barros nº 33, 2nd Floor, São Paulo, state of São Paulo, registered under CNPJ/MF #48.883.938/0001- 23 (KPMG), according to the opinion issued on March 06, 2006, which constitute Annex IV and Annex V of the present Contract.

6.1. | The Merger will be effective through the transfer of all the net accounting equity of TBDH to the equity of TELESP, appraised by Hirashima based on the financial statements of TDBH as of December 31, 2005, and audited by Ernst & Young. The equity variations that took place in the TDBH and TELESP between the base date of the appraisal opinion of their accounting value and the dates of the General Shareholders Meetings that approve the Merger will be absorbed by TELESP and accounted for as retained earnings. |
6.2. | In accordance with the established in the opinion of the accounting appraisal issued by Hirashima, the net accounting equity of TDBH to be merged into the net equity of TELESP was R$597,164,881.58 (five hundred ninety seven million, one hundred sixty four thousand, eight hundred eighty one Reais and fifty eight cents) as of December 31, 2005, and corresponds to the total accounting equity of TDBH. TELESP has 2,262,924 (two million, two hundred sixty two thousand, nine hundred twenty four) common shares and 70,803,372 (seventy million, eight hundred three thousand, three hundred seventy two) preferred shares issued by TDBH, that represent 0.006821% of the capital stock of TDBH which shall be canceled at the time of the Merger. |
6.3. | As a result of the Merger, and considering that part of the net equity of TDBH that corresponds to the participation of TELESP is already accounted for in TELESP and thus should not be part of the capital increase, the capital stock of TELESP will be increased in R$597,124,147.23 (five hundred ninety seven million, one hundred twenty four thousand, one hundred forty seven Reais and twenty three cents), going from R$5,978,073,811.88 (five billion, nine hundred seventy eight million, seventy three thousand, eight hundred eleven reais and eighty eight cents) to R$6,575,197,959.21 (six billion, five hundred seventy five million, one hundred ninety seven thousand, nine hundred fifty nine Reais and twenty one cents). |
6.4. | Considering the exchange ratio proposed in Clause 5.4 above, 4,758,172 (four million, seven hundred fifty eight thousand, one hundred seventy two) common shares and 9,449,209 (nine million, four hundred forty nine thousand, two hundred nine) preferred shares of TELESP will be issued, which will be distributed in exchange of the common and preferred shares of TDBH, according to the exchange ratio established in Clause 5.4 of this Contract, with the exception of TELESPs shares, whose shares in TDBH will be canceled. |
9
6.5. | After the Merger, the capital stock of TELESP will be divided into 506,237,272 (five hundred six million, two hundred thirty seven thousand, two hundred seventy two) shares, of which 168,819,870 (one hundred sixty eight million, eight hundred nineteen thousand, eight hundred seventy) will be common shares and 337,417,402 (three hundred thirty seven million, four hundred seventeen thousand, four hundred two) will be preferred shares, all of them book-entry shares without par value. |
6.6. | The Merger is considered fair for the shareholders of TELESP and TDBH, since the exchange ratio between the shares of the two Companies was determined within the values of the respective companies, based on the Financial Analysis prepared by Rothschild, an independent financial institution of international reputation and with vast experience in executing economic and financial appraisals similar to the Financial Analysis, which confirmed that a fair treatment was given to all the shareholders. |
6.7. | Due to the Merger, TELESP will become the universal heir of TDBH in terms of all its assets, rights and obligations, without any continuity solution. Once the operation under discussion is approved, TDBH will be extinguished for all legal purposes and T EMPRESAS will become a fully owned subsidiary of TELESP. There are no relevant and unaccounted contingencies to be undertaken by TELESP as a result of the merger of TDBH. |
6.8. | The preferred shares of TELESP that will be distributed to the preferred shareholders of TDBH will have the same rights currently guaranteed by the preferred shares of TDBH, with the exception of the right to vote for the approval of contracts between related parties. In TDBH, this was applicable to any long-term contract between related parties, while in TELESP applies to the contracts with related parties whose terms and conditions are more expensive for the company than those usually in place in the market for similar operations (article 9 of the bylaws of TDBH and TELESP). The common and preferred shares of TELESP owned by the controlling shareholder have the same rights and characteristics of the common and preferred shares owned by the minority shareholders of TELESP and will not suffer any modification in their political or equity rights as a result of the Merger. |
10
7. | PARTIAL SPIN-OFF OF T EMPRESAS WITH SUBSEQUENT MERGER OF THE SPUN-OFF PART INTO TELESP |
7.1. | The Spin-Off will represent the transfer from T EMPRESAS to TELESP of the assets, liabilities, rights and obligations related to the SCM activities in sectors 31, 32 and 34 of Region III of the Annex II of the General Concession Plan. They correspond to the elements of the assets and liabilities described in the transfer balance sheet included in the Appraisal of the Accounting Value for the Purpose of the Spin-Off and Merger prepared by Hirashima based in the financial statements of T EMPRESAS as of December 31, 2005, audited by Ernst & Young, which constitutes Annex II of this Contract (Transfer Balance Sheet). According to the terms of the accounting appraisal issued by Hirashima, the net accounting equity of T EMPRESAS to be merged into TELESP was R$273,797,261.22 (two hundred seventy three million, seven hundred ninety seven thousand, two hundred sixty one Reais and twenty two cents), as of December 31, 2005. |
7.2. | Considering that at the time of the implementation of the Spin-Off, T EMPRESAS will be a fully owned subsidiary of TELESP, the transfer to TELESP of the spun-off part of the equity will be carried out through the reduction in the investment account of the fixed assets and the transfer to TELESP of the assets and liabilities contained in the Transfer Balance Sheet, without any increase or decrease in the net equity of TELESP, nor in the number of shares that compose its capital stock. |
7.3. | The equity variations that take place in T EMPRESAS between the base date of the appraisal of its accounting value and the date of the General Shareholders Meetings that approve the Spin-Off will be absorbed by TELESP and compensated in the investments account in the fixed assets, in order to make the result of the Spin-Off always neutral for TELESP. |
7.4. | The Spin-Off is considered fair for the shareholders of TELESP and T EMPRESAS, since at the time of the Spin-Off, T EMPRESAS will be a fully owned subsidiary of TELESP and therefore, the transfer of assets and liabilities from T EMPRESAS to TELESP by their accounting value does not imply in any loss for the shareholders of TELESP. |
7.5. | Following the terms of the sole paragraph of article 233 of the Corporate Law, it is established that TELESP will only be responsible for the obligations that are expressly transferred to it in the terms of the present Contract and of the Transfer Balance Sheet, without being responsible for TEMPRESAS. There are no relevant |
11
and unaccounted contingencies that will be undertaken by TELESP as a result of the spun-off part of the equity of T EMPRESAS. |
8. | RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL |
8.1. | The Merger will grant the right of withdrawal to the shareholders of TDBH that express their will in that sense, while the respective payment of the reimbursement will depend of the effective consecution of the operation, as established in article 230 of the Corporate Law. |
8.2. | The withdrawal will be guaranteed to the owners of shares issued by TDBH that clearly and formally express their disagreement regarding the proposed Merger. It will be considered clear and formal when received in a period of 30 (thirty) days counted from the publication date of the minutes of the General Shareholders Meeting of TDBH that will deliberate about the Merger. |
8.3. | The accounting equity value of the shares of TDBH, based on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, for the purposes of the right of withdrawal corresponds to R$0.56 (fifty six cents) per lot of 1,000 (one thousand) common or preferred shares of TDBH. The net equity value at market prices corresponds to R$0.32 (thirty two cents) per lot of 1,000 (one thousand) common or preferred shares of TDBH. |
8.4. | Considering that the exchange ratio proposed in the terms of Clause 5.4, above, has more advantage for the non-controlling shareholders (and also for the controllers) of TDBH than the exchange ratio based on the net equity value at market prices, and considering that the accounting equity value of each group of 1,000 (one thousand) common or preferred share of TDBH is higher than the value based on the net equity at market prices, as explained in Clause 8.3, above, the value for the right of withdrawal available for the shareholders of TDBH that exercise such right will be the one calculated by the criteria of the accounting equity value, which represents R$0.56 (fifty six cents) per lot of 1,000 (thousand) shares of TDBH. |
8.5. | The right of withdrawal of the shareholders of TDBH in the Merger process is limited to the shares that such shareholders own on March 09, 2006, and will not be exercised in relation to shares purchased at a later date, in the terms of paragraph 1 of article 137 of the Corporate Law. |
12
8.6. | The shareholders of TELESP will not have the right of withdrawal as a result of the Merger nor the Spin-Off, in the terms of the Corporate Law. |
9. | PROJECT TO MODIFY THE BYLAWS OF TELESP |
9.1. | After deliberating about the Merger, the General Shareholders Meeting of TELESP will approve the modification of the heading of article 5 of the bylaws of TELESP, which will have the following wording: Art. 5 The subscribed capital stock, which is fully paid-in, is R$6,575,197,959.21 (six billion, five hundred seventy five million, one hundred ninety seven thousand, nine hundred fifty nine Reais and twenty one cents), divided into 506,237,272 (five hundred six million, two hundred thirty seven thousand, two hundred seventy two) shares, of which 168,819,870 (one hundred sixty eight million, eight hundred nineteen thousand, eight hundred seventy) are common shares and 337,417,402 (three hundred thirty seven million, four hundred seventeen thousand, four hundred two) are preferred shares, all of them book-entry shares without par value. There will not be any modification of TELESPs bylaws as a result of the Spin-Off. |
10. | GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS |
10.1. | Right of Reconsideration: The Companies have the right to re-assess the Restructuring project here described in the hypothesis that the payment of the reimbursement of the shares resulting from the exercising of the right of withdrawal by shareholders of TDBH that have pronounced in that way endangers the financial stability of the company resulting of the Merger, in the terms of paragraph 3 of article 137 of the Corporate Law. |

13

NM Rothschild & Sons (Brasil) Ltda. (Rothschild) has been engaged by Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. TELESP (Telesp) and Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. (TDBH, together with Telesp, the Companies) to perform a valuation analysis with respect to Telesp and TDBH (the Valuations) in connection with the proposed merger of TDBH into Telesp (the Transaction), in accordance with Law No. 6404 of December 15, 1976 (Brazilian Corporate Law).
The Valuations have been exclusively prepared for the use of the Board of Directors of the Companies in connection with their analysis of the Transaction, as described further below, and shall not be used for any other purposes, including, without limitation, the capital creation of Telesp under the terms of the Brazilian Corporate Law, including, but not limited to, Brazilian Corporate Law Article 8 provisions. The Valuations have been prepared in Portuguese and English, and the Portuguese version shall prevail for all purposes.
In connection with the drafting of the Valuations, we have considered, among other issues: (i) certain financial analysis and forecasts for each of the Companies, prepared and approved by the senior management of each such Company; (ii) publicly available audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 of each of the Companies. We have held discussions with members of the senior management of each of the Companies with respect to the business and prospects of the Companies and its subsidiaries. We have also considered other information, financial surveys, analysis and researches and financial, economic and market criteria, as we deemed appropriate.
In preparing the Valuations, we have assumed and relied, with the express consent of the Companies and without independent verification, on the accuracy, content, truthfulness, consistency, completeness, sufficiency and integrity of the financial, accounting, legal, tax and other information provided to or discussed with us. We have not undertaken, and do not hereby undertake, any liability regarding independent validation of the information or to make an independent validation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Companies, nor have we examined the solvency or fair value of the Companies under any laws concerning bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. To this effect, we undertake no responsibility or liability with respect to the accuracy, truthfulness, integrity, consistency, or sufficiency of such information, for which the respective Companies are solely and exclusively responsible. In addition, we have not committed to conduct, and have not conducted, any physical inspection of the real estate or facilities of the Companies. We have assumed that the financial analyses and forecasts prepared by the senior management of each Company, as approved by the senior management of such Companies, have been prepared on a reasonable basis reflecting the currently available judgments and opinion of such Company.
2 |
1. Introduction
We were requested to prepare the Valuations under the requirements of Article 31 of the Companies By-laws that the Companies achieve equitable treatment in the exchange ratios for the proposed Transaction. Our analysis has been prepared on the basis that, if the Board of Directors of Telesp and TDBH propose an exchange ratio with respect to the Transaction that falls within the range of exchange ratios resulting from the ranges of value indication derived from the Valuations with respect to Telesp and TDBH, applied on a consistent basis, then that exchange ratio would constitute equitable treatment. The Valuations have been prepared solely based on the discounted cash flow methodology assuming a stable macroeconomic scenario for Brazil. The valuation analyses and the results therefrom do not purport to reflect the prices at which any of the Companies or its securities could be sold, nor do they take into account any element of value that may arise from the accomplishment or expectation of the proposed Transaction. You shall further consider that we are not an accounting firm and we did not provide accounting or audit services in connection with this Valuation Report. In addition, since these valuation analysis are based upon forecasts of future financial results, they are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such analyses. Given, further, that these analysis are intrinsically subject to uncertainties and to various events or factors out of the control of the Companies and Rothschild, neither Rothschild, nor any of its affiliates and representatives, undertake any responsibility or liability if future results differ substantially from the projections presented in the Valuations and make no representation or warranty with respect to such projections.
The Valuations are based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on at the time of Valuations drafting, and the information made available to us until the date hereof. As a result, the Valuations are valid exclusively on the date hereof, as future events and other developments may affect the conclusions therein. We do not commit to update, review, revise or revoke the Valuations as a result of any subsequent event or development or for any other reason. With respect to the preparation of the Valuations, the Companies and their Board of Directors have not authorized us to solicit, nor have we solicited, any indication of interest from third parties to acquire, in whole or in part, the shares of the Companies. Accordingly, the results contained in the Valuations do not necessarily correspond to, and should not be construed as representative of, the prices at which the Companies could be sold to a third party on the date hereof or in the future. In addition, the results specified in the Valuations do not represent our opinion with respect to the value of the shares of Telesp (Telesp Shares) to be issued in connection with the Transaction or the price at which the Telesp Shares will be traded after the Transaction.
3 |
1. Introduction
The preparation process of economic and financial analysis such as those conducted in the preparation of the Valuations is a complex process which involves subjective judgment and is not susceptible to a partial analysis or a summary description. In arriving at its conclusions, Rothschild did not attribute any subjective value to any particular factor considered by it; rather, Rothschild made qualitative judgments of the importance and relevance of all the factors considered therein. Accordingly, Rothschild believes that the Valuations shall be considered as a whole and that the analysis of selected portions and other factors considered therein can result in an incomplete and incorrect understanding of the conclusions of the Valuations. The results presented herein refer solely to the Transaction and do not extend to any other present or future matters or transactions regarding the Companies, the economic group to which they belong to or to the sector in which they operate.
The Valuations are exclusively addressed to the Board of Directors of Telesp and TDBH and do not evaluate the underlying business decision by the Companies to engage in the Transaction and do not constitute a recommendation to any of the Companies and/or the holders of the respective Companies shares (including, but not limited to, as to how any such holder shall exercise its rights to vote or any other rights with respect thereto). In addition, the Valuations (i) treat the Companies as stand-alone operations and therefore, the analysis and results of the Valuations do not include any operational, fiscal or of other nature, or synergies, incremental value and/or costs for the Companies, if any, which may arise from the consummation of the Transaction and (ii) do not address the treatment of the different classes of shares of the Companies, and any adjustments intended to offset, or that may reflect, any specific rights associated with any specific class of shares of the Companies. We are therefore not expressing, and the Valuations do not contain, any judgment relating to the distribution of economic value among the various classes of shares of any of the Companies.
Rothschild and its affiliates, as part of their investment banking business, are continually engaged in performing financial analysis with respect to businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and other transactions as well as for estate, corporate and other purposes . We have been engaged by the Companies and, irrespective of whether the Transaction is consummated, we will receive a fee for the services provided by us. Moreover, the Companies have agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise as a result of our engagement. In addition, we have provided certain investment banking services to the Companies from time to time, including having acted as Telesps financial advisor in connection with the acquisition of Santo Genovese Participações Ltda in 2004. We also have provided and currently are providing certain investment banking services to Telefónica S.A., the indirect controlling shareholder of the Companies. We also may provide investment banking services to each of the Companies and their affiliates in the future.

1. Introduction
The companies of the Rothschild group provide services to the securities industry in securities trading, investment management and other related financial services for both companies and individuals. In the ordinary course of these activities, the companies of the Rothschild group may provide such services to each of the Companies and their respective affiliates, may actively trade the debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) of the each of the Companies and their respective affiliates for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions of such securities.
In preparing the Valuations, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, we did not take into account (i) the tax consequences of the Transaction for the holders of the Companies shares, and (ii) the impact of any fees and expenses that may result from the consummation of the Transaction, including, but not limited to, those related to any depositary services that may be charged to the holders of the Companies ADSs. In addition, pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, we have excluded the tax-related effects associated with the future use by Telesp of the non-amortized premium arising from the purchase by Telesp of shares of TDBH. The financial calculations contained in the Valuations may not always result in a precise sum due to rounding.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and other factors we deem relevant and in reliance thereon, if the exchange ratio approved by the Board of Directors of Telesp and TDBH with respect to the Transaction is within the implied exchange ratios derived from the Valuations with respect to Telesp and the TDBH, it is our view that such exchange ratio as of the date hereof would constitute equitable treatment as understood in the manner described above.

Projections
Valuations are based on operating and financial projections prepared by the senior management of the Companies.
Currency
| Projections in nominal Brazilian Reais (R$) |
| Free cash flows are converted to US$ and then discounted. Exchange rate projections are based on a market consensus report disclosed by the Central Bank of Brazil |
Discounted cash flow

3. Valuation Methodology
General valuation assumptions (continued)
Discount rate
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) methodology
| WACC in nominal US dollars (US$) |
WACC was determined by the combination of the cost of equity (Ce) and the cost of debt (Cd) of each Company, considering a target capital structure.
| The Ce estimate was determined by the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) method adjusted for the country risk |
| The Cd estimate was determined considering the current situation of the debt capital market and the credit risk of each Company |
Perpetuity / terminal value
| Free cash flow of the last projection year was normalized to calculate the perpetuity depreciation equal to capex in order to exclude temporary tax benefits |
| Telesps perpetuity growth rate is different from the one used for TDBH in light of the different growth perspectives presented by each Company. |
9 |
3. Valuation Methodology
General valuation assumptions (continued)
Enterprise Value
The Enterprise Value of the Companies was calculated by adding the:
| Net present value as of December 31, 2005 of the unlevered free cash flows during the projection period, and |
| Net present value of the terminal value as of December 31, 2005, calculated using the perpetuity growth methodology applied to the normalized unlevered free cash flow of the last projection year |
Equity Value
The Equity Value indications calculated for each Company were determined by subtracting the total value of the Net Debt from the illustrative Enterprise Value previously calculated. Net Debt as set forth in the audited balance sheets as of December 31, 2005, includes: (i) cash, currency hedges, loans and financing, (ii) contingencies, net of judicial deposits, and (iii) interest on capital and dividends already declared but not paid.
Equity Value per Share
The indications of Equity Value per Share for each one of the Companies were determined by dividing the Equity Value indications by the respective total number of shares outstanding in each Company, excluding treasury stock.
Valuation results
The Valuations present indications of the aggregate Equity Value of each of the Companies, not subject to value allocation between the different classes of shares. No adjustments were made as to the potential benefits that may arise from the transaction, such as synergies or tax gains.
The illustrative range of exchange ratios calculated for the Companies was determined by the consistent comparison of the Equity Value per Share calculated for each of the Companies.

1 | Introduction |
1.1 | Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. - Telesp and Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. are Brazilian companies which belong to the Spanish group Telefonica, one of the ten largest global telecommunications conglomerates, with sales of USD 37.6 billion in 2004, 121 million customers in over 40 countries and a communications market leader in South American countries. |
1.2 | Telefônica is the largest non-financial business conglomerate in Brazil, where it recorded revenue of R$ 28 billion in 2004, operating in the fixed telephony, wireless telephony, Internet and call centre sectors. |
1.3 | Telefônica is currently analyzing a potential corporate restructuring involving Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A.Telesp and Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. |
1.4 | Under this restructuring, in respect of the migration of the minority shareholders to this new structure, KPMG Corporate Finance was engaged to appraise the assets at market value of Telesp, TDBH, and its respective subsidiary companies, in order to comply with, when applicable, the provisions established by article 264 of Law 6404, dated December 15, 1976, as amended by Law 9457, dated May 05, 1997. |

Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. Appraisal of shareholders equity at market value |
3 | Sources of information |
3.1 | We initially used information from the audited financial statements of TDBH and its subsidiaries, on the base date as of December 31, 2005. |
3.2 | The appraisal also was based on interviews with the Management of TDBH and its subsidiaries, management data, and written or verbal additional information, interim balance sheets, income projections drawn up by the Management, quotes from futures contracts traded on the BM&F1 and projections of economic indicators disclosed by BACEN2 on its website. |
3.3 | We stress that this appraisal is not an audit of the financial statements utilized, nor of any other data contained herein and must not therefore be construed as such |
3.4 | We are also unable to guarantee, as are the Administrators of TDBH, that the future income will actually be achieved as projected, because the projected events may well not occur due to a range of external economic and operating factors, therefore resulting in material variations. |

5 | Methodology and Scope |
5.1 | The methodology of adjusted shareholders equity at market value was applied to calculate the market value of shareholders equity of TDBH, considering, the assets and liabilities recorded in its financial statements dated December 31, 2005. |
5.2 | The application of this methodology begins with the book value of the accounted assets and liabilities, some of which require adjustments to reflect their probable realization values |
5.3 | The methodology and scope of this appraisal intended to value an ongoing corporation. Thus, some costs arising from expenses normally incurred during the realization of assets or the payment of liabilities (brokerages, commissions, among others), as well as those arising from company bankruptcies or liquidations, such as rescissions, judicial disputes and the hiring of third-parties (lawyers, advisors etc.) were not considered in our calculations. However, a number of assets were considered which would not usually be recoverable in the event of liquidation of companies. |
5.4 | In short, the following procedures were adopted to apply this methodology: |
| Reading and analysis of the partial balance sheets of TDBH and its subsidiaries: Telefônica Empresas S.A. and Katalyx Cataloguing do Brasil Ltda. |
| Analysis of the assets and liabilities accounts recorded in the balance sheet of TDBH and its subsidiaries, to identify the items susceptible to adjustments, as well as the calculation of their probable market values. |
| Adjustment of the fixed assets and certain items from the spare parts and replacement materials inventory of TDBH and its subsidiaries by their respective market values based on the appraisals prepared by the companies Consult and Century specializing in the appraisal of such assets, dated January 24, 2006. |
| Application of the equivalent net worth method on the shareholders equities at market value of the companies controlled by TDBH for calculating the value of investments in controlled companies. |
| Calculation of the tax effects (income tax and social contribution) on the increased and reduced values resulting from this appraisal. |
| Calculation of the market value of the shareholders equity of TDBH and its subsidiaries (see the Appendix). |
5.5 | The procedures applied to adjust the assets subject to appraisal at market values are described in Chapter 6 of this report. |
5.6 | It should be noted that our appraisal did not entail the identification and appraisal of the intangible assets that were not recorded in the financial statements, nor the identification and quantification of any liabilities not recorded or unveiled by the Management. |

6 | Parameters adopted for the adjustment of assets subject to appraisal at market value |

1 | Introduction |
1.1 | Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. - Telesp and Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. are Brazilian companies which belong to the Spanish group Telefonica, one of the ten largest global telecommunications conglomerates, with sales of USD 37.6 billion in 2004, 121 million customers in over 40 countries and a communications market leader in South American countries. |

5 | Methodology and Scope |
5.1 | The methodology of adjusted shareholders equity at market value was applied to calculate the market value of shareholders equity of Telesp, considering, the assets and liabilities recorded in its financial statements dated December 31, 2005. |
5.2 | The application of this methodology begins with the book value of the accounted assets and liabilities, some of which require adjustments to reflect their probable realization values |
5.3 | The methodology and scope of this appraisal intended to value an ongoing corporation. Thus, some costs arising from expenses normally incurred during the realization of assets or the payment of liabilities (brokerages, commissions, among others), as well as those arising from company bankruptcies or liquidations, such as rescissions, judicial disputes and the hiring of third-parties (lawyers, advisors etc.) were not considered in our calculations. However, a number of assets were considered which would not usually be recoverable in the event of liquidation of companies. |
5.4 | In short, the following procedures were adopted to apply this methodology: |
| Reading and analysis of the partial balance sheets of Telesp and its subsidiaries: A Telecom, Aliança, Companhia AIX, Companhia ACT, Santo Genovese and Atrium; |
| Analysis of the assets and liabilities accounts recorded in the balance sheet of Telesp and its subsidiaries, to identify the items susceptible to adjustments, as well as the calculation of their probable market values; |
| Adjustment of the fixed assets and certain items from the spare parts and replacement materials inventory of Telesp and its subsidiaries by their respective market values based on the appraisals prepared by the companies Consult and Century, dated January 24, 2006; |
| Application of the equivalent net worth method on the shareholders equities at market value of the companies controlled by Telesp for calculating the value of investments in controlled companies; |
| Calculation of the tax effects (income tax and social contribution) on the increased and decreased values resulting from this appraisal; and |
| Calculation of the market value of the shareholders equity of Telesp and its subsidiaries (Appendix). |
5.5 | The procedures applied to adjust the assets subject to appraisal at market values are described in Chapter 6 of this report. |
5.6 | It should be noted that our appraisal did not entail the identification and appraisal of the Companys intangible assets that were not recorded in the financial statements, nor the identification and quantification of any liabilities not recorded or unveiled by the Companys Management. |

RELEVANT FACT
Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. TELESP (TELESP or Merger), Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. (TDBH or Mergee) and Telefônica Empresas S.A. (T EMPRESAS or Spun-Off and with TELESP and TDBH, The Companies), according and for the CVM Instruction 319/99 and 358/02, inform for the shareholders and the market in general that, in this date, it was approved of their respective Board of Directors a proposed of restructuring the activities of the Multimedia Communication Services (SCM) and Data transmission, to be submitted for the shareholders of the Companies, according the terms and conditions, as established bellow:
1. | SUMMARY OF THE OPERATION |
1.1. | The objective of the current Contract is the proposal for the restructuring of the SCM activities of TELESP, TDBH and T EMPRESAS (Restructuring), comprising: (i) the merger of TDBH into TELESP, companies with a common controller, in the terms of articles 227 and 264 of the Corporate Law (Merger); and (ii) the partial spin-off of T EMPRESAS, transferring to TELESP the assets and activities related to the SCM in the regions where such services are already rendered by TELESP, in the terms of article 229 of the Corporate Law (Spinoff), in the terms of the Contract and Justification of the Merger of TDBH into TELESP and the Partial Spin-Off of T EMPRESAS (Contract), signed in this date by the representatives of TELESP, TDBH and T EMPRESAS. |
1.2. | Once the Restructuring is approved: (i) TDBH will be extinguished; (ii) its shareholders will receive common or preferred shares, or American Depositary |
Shares (ADS), as appropriate, issued by TELESP and following the exchange ratio established in Section 5, below; (iii) TELESP will succeed TDBH in all its rights and obligations; and (iv) T EMPRESAS will become a fully owned subsidiary of TELESP, with the assets and activities related to the SCM in the regions where such service is not rendered by TELESP, as well as the IT and data center assets and activities that are of its property. |
2. | JUSTIFICATION OF THE OPERATION |
2.1. | TDBH is a holding company whose main asset is the stake of 100% in the capital stock of TELEFÔNICA EMPRESAS S.A., a nationwide SCM operator. |
2.2. | TELESP, besides rendering the Switched Fixed Telephony Service (STFC), is also a SCM operator in sectors 31, 32 and 34 of Region III of the Annex II of the General Concession Plan (Decree #2534, dated as of April 02, 1998). |
2.3. | TELESP has another fully owned subsidiary, A. TELECOM S.A., a company with headquarters located at Rua do Rocío #291, 2nd Floor, São Paulo, state of São Paulo, registered under CNPJ/MF #03.498.897/0001-13, with its bylaws registered at Junta Comercial do Estado de São Paulo JUCESP under NIRE 35.3.0017438.1 (A. TELECOM), that renders nationwide SCM services, except in sectors 31, 32 and 34 of Region III of Annex II of the General Concession Plan do Plano (where the exploitation of the SCM is carried out directly by TELESP). |
2.4. | TDBH was created in January 2001 as the result of the partial spin-off of TELESP. At that time and based on the opinion of the external consultants, the management of TELESP understood that it would be in the best interest of the company to segregate the assets related to the rendering of the Switched Packaged Network services, transferring all the shares of T EMPRESAS to the then newly-created TDBH. |
2.5. | After five years, the managements of TELESP and TDBH understand that the segregation of T EMPRESAS reached the expected objectives, which were: (i) consolidation of the SCM services in the corporate segment, both in terms of the technical specialty as well as the client portfolio; and (ii) execution of specific investments that allowed a significant growth of T EMPRESAS. Nevertheless, the managements of TELESP and TDBH understand that the considerable increase in competition within this market, currently dominated by companies directly tied to |
- 2 -
communication companies linked to large national and foreign groups, and the transactional costs and the opportunities for merging expertise to address the technological convergence and the development of new products dictate new conditions and projections for the segment in which the companies operate, which justify and validate the decision to merge its operations. |
2.6. | With the Merger of TDBH into TELESP, T EMPRESAS will become a fully owned subsidiary of TELESP, similar to A TELECOM. Following suit and through the Spin-Off, the assets and activities related to the SCM service of T EMPRESAS in sectors 31, 32 and 34 of Region III of Annex II of the General Concession Plan will be transferred to TELESP, thus concentrating the SCM activities in those areas within TELESP. |
2.7. | As the next step, it is intended to promote the merger of A TELECOM into T EMPRESAS, or vice-versa, in order to concentrate, in one single subsidiary of TELESP, the exploitation of the SCM activities in the remaining part of the national territory. |
2.8. | The management of the Companies recommend the approval of the Merger and Spin-Off proposals in the terms of this Contract, since they understand that the Restructuring will result in the following benefits for the Companies and their respective shareholders: |
(a) | Higher administrative, commercial, operating, fiscal and financial efficiencies regarding data transmission operations performed by T EMPRESAS, A TELECOM and TELESP; |
(b) | Increase in the liquidity of the shares, especially for the shareholders of TDBH, but also for the shareholders of TELESP; and |
(c) | Reduction of costs after merging all the activities of all the companies under just one listed company, TELESP. |
3. | SOCIETARY ACTS |

In accordance with the established in the opinion of the accounting appraisal issued by Hirashima, the net accounting equity of TDBH to be merged into the net equity of TELESP was R$597,164,881.58 (five hundred ninety seven million, one hundred sixty four thousand, eight hundred eighty one Reais and fifty eight cents) as of December 31, 2005, and corresponds to the total accounting equity of TDBH. TELESP has 2,262,924 (two million, two hundred sixty two thousand, nine hundred twenty four) common shares and 70,803,372 (seventy million, eight hundred three thousand, three hundred seventy two) preferred shares issued by TDBH, that represent 0.006821% of the capital stock of TDBH which shall be canceled at the time of the Merger.
6.3. | As a result of the Merger, and considering that part of the net equity of TDBH that corresponds to the participation of TELESP is already accounted for in TELESP and thus should not be part of the capital increase, the capital stock of TELESP will be increased in R$597,124,147.23 (five hundred ninety seven million, one hundred twenty four thousand, one hundred forty seven Reais and twenty three cents), going from R$5,978,073,811.88 (five billion, nine hundred seventy eight million, seventy three thousand, eight hundred eleven reais and eighty eight cents) to R$6,575,197,959.21 (six billion, five hundred seventy five million, one hundred ninety seven thousand, nine hundred fifty nine Reais and twenty one cents). |
6.4. | Considering the exchange ratio proposed in Clause 5.4 above, 4,758,172 (four million, seven hundred fifty eight thousand, one hundred seventy two) common shares and 9,449,209 (nine million, four hundred forty nine thousand, two hundred nine) preferred shares of TELESP will be issued, which will be distributed in exchange of the common and preferred shares of TDBH, according to the exchange ratio established in Clause 5.4 of this Contract, with the exception of TELESPs shares, whose shares in TDBH will be canceled. |
6.5. | After the Merger, the capital stock of TELESP will be divided into 506,237,272 (five hundred six million, two hundred thirty seven thousand, two hundred seventy two) shares, of which 168,819,870 (one hundred sixty eight million, eight hundred nineteen thousand, eight hundred seventy) will be common shares and 337,417,402 (three hundred thirty seven million, four hundred seventeen thousand, four hundred two) will be preferred shares, all of them book-entry shares without par value. |
6.6. | The Merger is considered fair for the shareholders of TELESP and TDBH, since |
- 9 -
the exchange ratio between the shares of the two Companies was determined within the values of the respective companies, based on the Financial Analysis prepared by Rothschild, an independent financial institution of international reputation and with vast experience in executing economic and financial appraisals similar to the Financial Analysis, which confirmed that a fair treatment was given to all the shareholders. |
6.7. | Due to the Merger, TELESP will become the universal heir of TDBH in terms of all its assets, rights and obligations, without any continuity solution. Once the operation under discussion is approved, TDBH will be extinguished for all legal purposes and T EMPRESAS will become a fully owned subsidiary of TELESP. There are no relevant and unaccounted contingencies to be undertaken by TELESP as a result of the merger of TDBH. |
6.8. | The preferred shares of TELESP that will be distributed to the preferred shareholders of TDBH will have the same rights currently guaranteed by the preferred shares of TDBH, with the exception of the right to vote for the approval of contracts between related parties. In TDBH, this was applicable to any long-term contract between related parties, while in TELESP applies to the contracts with related parties whose terms and conditions are more expensive for the company than those usually in place in the market for similar operations (article 9 of the bylaws of TDBH and TELESP). The common and preferred shares of TELESP owned by the controlling shareholder have the same rights and characteristics of the common and preferred shares owned by the minority shareholders of TELESP and will not suffer any modification in their political or equity rights as a result of the Merger. |
7. | PARTIAL SPIN-OFF OF T EMPRESAS WITH SUBSEQUENT MERGER OF THE SPUN-OFF PART INTO TELESP |
7.1. | The Spin-Off will represent the transfer from T EMPRESAS to TELESP of the assets, liabilities, rights and obligations related to the SCM activities in sectors 31, 32 and 34 of Region III of the Annex II of the General Concession Plan. They correspond to the elements of the assets and liabilities described in the transfer balance sheet included in the Appraisal of the Accounting Value for the Purpose of the Spin-Off and Merger prepared by Hirashima based in the financial statements of T EMPRESAS as of December 31, 2005, audited by Ernst & Young, which constitutes Annex II of this Contract (Transfer Balance Sheet). According to the terms of the accounting appraisal issued by Hirashima, the net |
- 10 -
accounting equity of T EMPRESAS to be merged into TELESP was R$273,797,261.22 (two hundred seventy three million, seven hundred ninety seven thousand, two hundred sixty one Reais and twenty two cents), as of December 31, 2005. |
7.2. | Considering that at the time of the implementation of the Spin-Off, T EMPRESAS will be a fully owned subsidiary of TELESP, the transfer to TELESP of the spun-off part of the equity will be carried out through the reduction in the investment account of the fixed assets and the transfer to TELESP of the assets and liabilities contained in the Transfer Balance Sheet, without any increase or decrease in the net equity of TELESP, nor in the number of shares that compose its capital stock. |
7.3. | The equity variations that take place in T EMPRESAS between the base date of the appraisal of its accounting value and the date of the General Shareholders Meetings that approve the Spin-Off will be absorbed by TELESP and compensated in the investments account in the fixed assets, in order to make the result of the Spin-Off always neutral for TELESP. |
7.4. | The Spin-Off is considered fair for the shareholders of TELESP and T EMPRESAS, since at the time of the Spin-Off, T EMPRESAS will be a fully owned subsidiary of TELESP and therefore, the transfer of assets and liabilities from T EMPRESAS to TELESP by their accounting value does not imply in any loss for the shareholders of TELESP. |
7.5. | Following the terms of the sole paragraph of article 233 of the Corporate Law, it is established that TELESP will only be responsible for the obligations that are expressly transferred to it in the terms of the present Contract and of the Transfer Balance Sheet, without being responsible for T EMPRESAS. There are no relevant and unaccounted contingencies that will be undertaken by TELESP as a result of the spun-off part of the equity of T EMPRESAS. |
8. | RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL |
8.1. | The Merger will grant the right of withdrawal to the shareholders of TDBH that express their will in that sense, while the respective payment of the reimbursement will depend of the effective consecution of the operation, as established in article 230 of the Corporate Law. |
- 11 -
8.2. | The withdrawal will be guaranteed to the owners of shares issued by TDBH that clearly and formally express their disagreement regarding the proposed Merger. It will be considered clear and formal when received in a period of 30 (thirty) days counted from the publication date of the minutes of the General Shareholders Meeting of TDBH that will deliberate about the Merger. |
8.3. | The accounting equity value of the shares of TDBH, based on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, for the purposes of the right of withdrawal corresponds to R$0.56 (fifty six cents) per lot of 1,000 (one thousand) common or preferred shares of TDBH. The net equity value at market prices corresponds to R$ 0.32 (thirty two cents) per lot of 1,000 (one thousand) common or preferred shares of TDBH. |
8.4. | Considering that the exchange ratio proposed in the terms of Clause 5.4, above, has more advantage for the non-controlling shareholders (and also for the controllers) of TDBH than the exchange ratio based on the net equity value at market prices, and considering that the accounting equity value of each group of 1,000 (one thousand) common or preferred share of TDBH is higher than the value based on the net equity at market prices, as explained in Clause 8.3, above, the value for the right of withdrawal available for the shareholders of TDBH that exercise such right will be the one calculated by the criteria of the accounting equity value, which represents R$0.56 (fifty six cents) per lot of 1,000 (thousand) shares of TDBH. |
8.5. | The right of withdrawal of the shareholders of TDBH in the Merger process is limited to the shares that such shareholders own on March 09, 2006, and will not be exercised in relation to shares purchased at a later date, in the terms of paragraph 1 of article 137 of the Corporate Law. |
8.6. | The shareholders of TELESP will not have the right of withdrawal as a result of the Merger nor the Spin-Off, in the terms of the Corporate Law. |
9. | PROJECT TO MODIFY THE BYLAWS OF TELESP |
9.1. | After deliberating about the Merger, the General Shareholders Meeting of TELESP will approve the modification of the heading of article 5 of the bylaws of TELESP, which will have the following wording: Art. 5 The subscribed capital stock, which is fully paid-in, is R$6,575,197,959.21 (six billion, five hundred |
- 12 -
seventy five million, one hundred ninety seven thousand, nine hundred fifty nine Reais and twenty one cents), divided into 506,237,272 (five hundred six million, two hundred thirty seven thousand, two hundred seventy two) shares, of which 168,819,870 (one hundred sixty eight million, eight hundred nineteen thousand, eight hundred seventy) are common shares and 337,417,402 (three hundred thirty seven million, four hundred seventeen thousand, four hundred two) are preferred shares, all of them book-entry shares without par value. There will not be any modification of TELESPs bylaws as a result of the Spin-Off. |
10. | GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS |
10.1. | Right of Reconsideration: The Companies have the right to re-assess the Restructuring project here described in the hypothesis that the payment of the reimbursement of the shares resulting from the exercising of the right of withdrawal by shareholders of TDBH that have pronounced in that way endangers the financial stability of the company resulting of the Merger, in the terms of paragraph 3 of article 137 of the Corporate Law. |
10.2. | Dividends: The shareholders of T EMPRESAS, TELESP and TDBH will receive the dividends or interests on the companys net worth declared by their respective ordinary general shareholders meetings related to the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2005. After the Merger, the shareholders of TDBH that receive shares of TELESP will receive the dividends or interests on the companys net worth that are declared by TELESP starting from the date of the general shareholders meeting that approves the Merger, in equal conditions of those of the previous owners of TELESP, and TELESP will receive the dividends and interest on the companys net worth that are declared by T EMPRESAS starting from the date of the general shareholders meeting that approves the Merger. |
10.3. | Evaluation of the Restructuring by the Regulatory Agencies: Despite the fact that the approval of Anatel (the National Telecommunications Agency) is not required, the Restructuring will be presented before it for filing purposes. Since the Merger and Spin-Off involves companies belonging to the same economic group, the Restructuring is not subject to approval from the CADE (Anti-trust Agency). |
10.4. | Presentation of the Restructuring before the SEC: According to the legislation of the American capital market, the Restructuring will not be submitted for approval or filing before the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This Contract |
- 13 -
is not a public offering document and does not represent an offer to sell or a request for an offer to purchase any securities nor a request of any vote or approval. |

Step 1 constitutes of the cession and transfer, in March 8th of 2006, of the totality of quotas held by TELEFÓNICA DATACORP, S.A company constituted and existent under Spanish laws, with its headquarters at Gran Via, 28, City of Madrid, Spain with CIF nº A-82/196964, and registered under CNPJ/MF # 05.712.863/0001-05, in TELEFÔNICA DATA DO BRASIL LTDA., with headquarters at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima nº 1.188, 11º andar in the city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo registered under CNPJ/MF # 03.056.714/0001 (T DATA BRASIL), to SP TELECOMUNICAÇÕES HOLDING LTDA., with headquarters at Rua Martiniano de Carvalho nº 851, 20º andar in the city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo registered under CNPJ/MF # 01.900.954/0001-13.

Step 2 Merger of Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. into TELESP
Step 2 is comprised of the merger, by TELESP, of TELEFÔNICA DATA BRASIL HOLDING S.A, a listed company with headquarters at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima nº 1.188, 11º andar in the city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo registered under CNPJ/MF # 04.295.166/0001-33 (TDBH), holding company whose main asset is its participation of 100% of the capital stock of T EMPRESAS (Merger).
Once the merger is approved by the General Shareholders Meeting of the involved companies, (i) TDBH will be extinct, (ii) TDBH shareholders will receive common or preferred shares or American Depositary Shares (ADS), depending on each case, issued by TELESP, (iii) TELESP will succeed TDBH in all of its rights and obligation, and (iv) T EMPRESAS will become a wholly owned subsidiary of TELESP.
As a consequence of Step 2 (Merger), the capital stock of TELESP will be increased in R$597,124,147.33 (five hundred ninety seven million, one hundred twenty four thousand, one hundred forty seven Reais and thirty three cents), going from R$5,978,073,811.88 (five billion, nine hundred seventy eight million, seventy three thousand, eight hundred eleven reais and eighty eight cents) to R$6,575,197,959.21 (six billion, five hundred seventy five million, one hundred ninety seven thousand, nine hundred fifty nine Reais and twenty one cents).
As such, after deliberating about the Merger, the General Shareholders Meeting of TELESP shall approve the modification of the heading of article 5 of the bylaws of TELESP, which will have the following wording: Art. 5 The subscribed capital stock, which is fully paid-in, is R$6,575,197,959.21 (six billion, five hundred seventy five million, one hundred ninety seven thousand, nine hundred fifty nine Reais and twenty one cents), divided into 506,237,272 (five hundred six million, two hundred thirty seven thousand, two hundred seventy two) shares, of which 168,819,870 (one hundred sixty eight million, eight hundred nineteen thousand, eight hundred seventy) are common shares and 337,417,402 (three hundred thirty seven million, four hundred seventeen thousand, four hundred two) are preferred shares, all of them book-entry shares without par value. There will not be any modification of TELESPs bylaws as a result of the Spin-Off.
In order to tend to the dispositions of Clause 16.1, XXL, of the Concession contracts signed between TELESP and ANATEL, TELESP previously submits to your knowledge the modification it intends to do on its bylaws relative to its capital stock composition, as stated above.
Notwithstanding, with the implementation of Step 2 (Merger), there will be the substitution of T EMPRESAS direct shareholder, which will now be TELESP in substitution to TDBH. With the objective of keeping up-to-date its shareholder composition with ANATEL, and to comply with the legal dispositions, T EMPRESAS commits to communicate that modification when it occurs.

STEP 3 Partial Spin-off of T EMPRESAS, with the merging of the spun-off part into TELESP
Step 3, which will occur sequentially to Step 2, consists of the partial spin-off of T EMPRESAS, with the transfer to TELESP of all the assets and the activities of the SCM service of T EMPRESAS in the regions in which the service is currently being directly provided by TELESP (Spin-off), that is, sectors 31, 32 and 34 of Region III of Annex II of the General Concession Plan (Decree # 2.534, of April 2nd 1998).
Once the Spin-off is approved by the General Shareholder Meetings of the involved companies, there will be a capital reduction on the capital stock of T EMPRESAS, which will continue with the SCM activities in the regions which that service is no offered by TELESP, as well as the assets and activities of IT and data center.
With the objective of keeping up-to-date the shareholder composition of T EMPRESAS with ANATEL, and to comply with the legal dispositions, T EMPRESAS also commits to communicate that modification when it occurs as an effect of Step 3

Once approved the Merger and Spin-off operations, TELESP and T EMPRESAS commit to send to ANATEL a copy of the minutes of its respective General Shareholder Meetings, as well as its new Bylaws.
Of all that has been shown, it is clear that there will be no control or concession transfer in the Restructuring Process described above, therefore, none of its Steps are subject to previous authorization from ANATEL.
At last, we clarify that (i) T EMPRESAS and TELESP are in regular compliance with FISTEL, (ii) on this date it has been signed the Contract and Justification of Merger of Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. into Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A.TELESP and the partial Spin-off of Telefônica Empresas S.A. by the directors of TDBH, T EMPRESAS e TELESP, and (iii) according to all terms of the applicable law, all documents relative to the restructuring were sent to the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM), U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) e Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo (BOVESPA).

Step 1 constitutes of the cession and transfer, in March 8th of 2006, of the totality of quotas held by TELEFÓNICA DATACORP, S.A company constituted and existent under Spanish laws, with its headquarters at Gran Via, 28, City of Madrid, Spain with CIF nº A-82/196964, and registered under CNPJ/MF # 05.712.863/0001-05, in TELEFÔNICA DATA DO BRASIL LTDA., with headquarters at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima nº 1.188, 11º andar in the city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo registered under CNPJ/MF # 03.056.714/0001 (T DATA BRASIL), to SP TELECOMUNICAÇÕES HOLDING LTDA., with headquarters at Rua Martiniano de Carvalho nº 851, 20º andar in the city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo registered under CNPJ/MF # 01.900.954/0001-13.

Step 2 is comprised of the merger, by TELESP, of TELEFÔNICA DATA BRASIL HOLDING S.A, a listed company with headquarters at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima nº 1.188, 11º andar in the city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo registered under CNPJ/MF # 04.295.166/0001-33 (TDBH), holding company whose main asset is its participation of 100% of the capital stock of T EMPRESAS (Merger).
Once the merger is approved by the General Shareholders Meeting of the involved companies, (i) TDBH will be extinct, (ii) TDBHs shareholders will receive common or preferred shares, or American Depositary Shares (ADS), depending on each case, issued by TELESP, (iii) TELESP will succeed TDBH in all of its rights and obligations, and (iv) T EMPRESAS will become a wholly owned subsidiary of TELESP.
As a consequence of Step 2 (Merger), the capital stock of TELESP will be increased in R$597,124,147.33 (five hundred ninety seven million, one hundred twenty four thousand, one hundred forty seven Reais and thirty three cents), going from R$5,978,073,811.88 (five billion, nine hundred seventy eight million, seventy three thousand, eight hundred eleven reais and eighty eight cents) to R$6,575,197,959.21 (six billion, five hundred seventy five million, one hundred ninety seven thousand, nine hundred fifty nine Reais and twenty one cents).
As such, after deliberating about the Merger, the General Shareholders Meeting of TELESP shall approve the modification of the heading of article 5 of the bylaws of TELESP, which will have the following wording: Art. 5 The subscribed capital stock, which is fully paid-in, is R$6,575,197,959.21 (six billion, five hundred seventy five million, one hundred ninety seven thousand, nine hundred fifty nine Reais and twenty one cents), divided into 506,237,272 (five hundred six million, two hundred thirty seven thousand, two hundred seventy two) shares, of which 168,819,870 (one hundred sixty eight million, eight hundred nineteen thousand, eight hundred seventy) are common shares and 337,417,402 (three hundred thirty seven million, four hundred seventeen thousand, four hundred two) are preferred shares, all of them book-entry shares without par value. There will not be any modification of TELESPs bylaws as a result of the Spin-Off.
In order to tend to the dispositions of Clause 16.1, XXL, of the Concession contracts signed between TELESP and ANATEL, TELESP previously submits to your knowledge the modification it intends to do on its bylaws relative to its capital stock composition, as stated above.
Notwithstanding, with the implementation of Step 2 (Merger), there will be the substitution of T EMPRESAS direct shareholder, which will now be TELESP in substitution of TDBH. With the objective of keeping up-to-date its shareholder composition with ANATEL, and to comply with the legal dispositions, T EMPRESAS commits to communicate that modification when it occurs.
