6. RESOLUTIONS: Upon opening the agenda, the Chairman explained that the minutes of the Meeting would be drawn-up in summary form, containing only the transcription of the resolutions made, as permitted in article 130 §1, of Law no. 6404/76, as amended (“Corporate Law”), and informed that the documents or proposals, voting statements or dissenting opinions concerning the matters to be resolved should be submitted to presiding board of the Meeting, in writing, which would be represented for such purpose by the Secretary. Moreover, the Chairman stated that the documents and information relating to the matters to be discussed in this Meeting, were on the presiding board and that such documents were made available to shareholders at the Company’s headquarters, as well as in the websites of CVM - Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (www.cvm.gov.br), BM&F Bovespa S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (www.bmfbovespa.com.br) and the Company (www.telefonica.com.br/ir), since the publication of the Call notice, in accordance with the provisions of Corporate Law and CVM Instructions No. 319/1999 and No. 481/2009.
The Chairman, explained that, as it was known to all the attendees, the purpose of the Meeting was to review and pass resolutions with respect to the corporate reorganization involving Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled companies, culminating with the merger into the Company of (i) the spun-off net assets of TData; (ii) the portion of the spun-off equity of Vivo; (iii) the portion of the spun-off equity of A. Telecom; (iv) TST, all wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
Complemented informing that, what is intended, at the end of the corporate reorganization process involving such companies, is the concentration of the activities into only two operating companies, one of them being the Company (to concentrate the provision of telecommunication services) and the other being TData (to concentrate other economic activities than telecommunication services, including Value-Added Services, as defined in art. 61 of the General Telecommunications Law). This segregation of activities is necessary because the Company is prevented, by law, from providing other than telecommunication services.

The Chairman also explained that concentrating the provision of telecommunication services into one sole legal entity will enable convergence, allowing a consolidated and confluent offer of telecommunication services and simplified offer of service packages, with consequent reduction in administrative and operating costs, and standardization and rationalization of the Companies’ operations.
The Chairman further explained that the corporate organization sought herein, involving the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled companies, was submitted to the National Telecommunications Agency – ANATEL for review and prior approval, having been approved under the terms of Act no. 3043, dated May 27, 2013, published in the Federal Official Gazette on May 29, 2013 (“Consent Act”).
The Chairman pointed out that the matter had been previously reviewed by the Audit and Control Committee, by the Statutory Audit Council and by the Board of Directors of the Company, who opined favorably in relation to all items on the agenda, which they competed.
Finally, reported that the intended merger of the companies and of the net assets described above shall not result in an increase of capital stock of the Company, nor in the issuance of new shares by the Company, so that the intended corporate restructuring not cause any change in the equity interests currently held by the shareholders in the Company, no exchange of shares held by non-controlling shareholders of the spun-off/merged company for shares in the surviving company shall be considered, given that the Company is, at the time, the sole shareholder of the companies to be spun-off/merged, and will not imply any withdrawal right. Accordingly, no appraisal report of the asset/net equity at market price were required to be prepared for calculation of the exchange ratio of shares held by non-controlling shareholders, as set forth in article 264 of the LSA and in article 2, §1, VI, of CVM Instruction no. 319/99, as per recent opinions already provided by the CVM for inquiries submitted with regard to similar reorganization processes and as mentioned in CVM Resolution no. 559, dated 11/18/2008.

Protocol and Instrument of Justification
OF PARTIAL SPIN-OFF
OF
TELEFÔNICA DATA S.A.
AND MERGER OF THE SPUN-OFF PORTION INTO
TELEFÔNICA BRASIL S.A.
By this private instrument, the below identified parties, herein represented by their respective Executive Officers, have agreed to enter into this Protocol and Instrument of Justification of Partial Spin-Off and Merger (“Protocol”), in accordance with articles 224, 225, 226, 227 and 229 of Law nº 6,404, dated December 15, 1976, as amended (“Corporation Law”), with due regard to the applicable provisions of Instruction nº 319, dated December 03, 1999, as amended, issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”).
(a) TELEFÔNICA BRASIL S.A., a publicly-held company with head-office in the city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, on Avenue Eng. Luiz Carlos Berrini, nº 1376, enrolled with the CNPJ/MF under nº 02.558.157/0001-62, herein represented pursuant to its Bylaws (“Telefônica” or “Surviving Company”);
(b) TELEFÔNICA DATA S.A., a closely-held company with head-office in the city of Barueri, State of São Paulo, on Avenue Tamboré, nºs 341 / 371, enrolled with the CNPJ/MF under n° 04.027.547/0001-31, herein represented pursuant to its Bylaws (“TData” or “Spun-off Company”);
Telefônica and TData being collectively referred to as “Parties” or “Companies”;
1. JUSTIFICATION.
WHEREAS this partial spin-off and merger transaction is part of a more comprehensive corporate reorganization process involving also other Telefônica’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled companies, which reorganization shall occur on the same date of this transaction;
2
WHEREAS Telefônica is a concessionaire of the Switched Fixed Telephone Service (“STFC”) for Local and Domestic Long Distance calls in Sector 31, of Region III, of the General Concessions Plan; an authorized company for the Switched Fixed Telephone Service (“STFC”) for Local and Domestic Long Distance calls, in Sector 33, of Region III, and for International Long Distance calls, in Region III, of the General Concessions Plan; and an authorized company for the Multimedia Communication Service (“SCM”), in addition to being the holder of the all the shares representing the capital of TData;
WHEREAS TData is an authorized company for the SCM and carries out other economic activities than telecommunication services, including the provision of Value-Added Services, as defined in art. 61 of the General Telecommunications Law (such activities being jointly and generally referred to as “VAS”);
WHEREAS, under the terms of the Relevant Fact disclosed on March 15, 2012, Telefônica is currently the controlling and, in certain cases, the sole shareholder of several companies, including TData, it being necessary to rationalize and simplify the structure of such companies, by integrating and rationalizing related and/or complementary activities, in such manner as to allow, at the end of the corporate reorganization process involving such companies, concentration of the activities into only two operating companies, one of them being Telefônica (to concentrate the provision of telecommunication services) and the other being TData (to concentrate the provision of VAS);
WHEREAS on September 12, 2011 Law no. 12,485 was enacted, which changed the General Telecommunications Law, the provisions of which enabled the STFC concessionaires to provide other telecommunication services, in addition to those subject matter of the respective concession agreement and the SCM in their respective concession regions;
WHEREAS, after studies were carried out, the Parties understand that, as part of the rationalization and simplification of the corporate structure, consolidating the activities related to provision of telecommunication services into one sole legal entity will allow convergence, consolidating the telecommunication services into Telefônica;
The Parties understand that the partial spin-off of TData, with transfer of the spun-off net assets to Telefônica, under the terms and conditions of this Protocol is justified, since it will allow segregation of the VAS provided by TData, from the other services, concerning activities related to the provision of SCM, to be absorbed by Telefônica, which segregation is necessary because Telefônica is prevented, by law, from providing other than telecommunication services. In addition, the transaction being implemented will allow consolidation and confluence in the offer of telecommunication services by Telefônica, with consequent reduction of administrative and operating costs and standardization and rationalization of the other operations of the Companies.

4.2.

4.3. NO EXCHANGE RATIO: Due to the absence of non-controlling shareholders of TData, given that it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telefônica, no exchange ratio will apply with respect to shares held by minority shareholders of TData for shares of the Surviving Company.
4.4.

WHEREAS Vivo is an authorized company for the Personal Mobile Service (“SMP”), the SMC and the STFC services for Local, and Domestic and International Long Distance calls, in Regions I and II of the Concessions Plan, in addition to carrying out other economic activities than telecommunication services, including the provision of Value-Added Services, as defined in art. 61 of the General Telecommunications Law (such activities being jointly and generally referred to as “VAS”);
WHEREAS TData is a provider of VAS;
WHEREAS, under the terms of the Relevant Fact disclosed on March 15, 2012, Telefônica is currently the controlling and, in certain cases, the sole shareholder of several companies, including the Parties to this Protocol, it being necessary to rationalize and simplify the structure of such companies, by integrating and rationalizing related and/or complementary activities, in such manner as to allow, at the end of the corporate reorganization process involving such companies, concentration of the activities into only two operating companies, one of them being Telefônica (to concentrate the provision of telecommunication services) and the other being TData (to concentrate the provision of VAS);

The Parties understand that the full spin-off of Vivo, with transfer of portions of the spun-off net equity to Telefônica and to TData, respectively, under the terms and conditions of this Protocol is justified, since it will allow segregation of the VAS provided by Vivo, which services will be absorbed by TData, incorporating the activities related to the provision of the telecommunication services into Telefônica, including the corresponding Authorizations, which segregation is necessary because Telefônica is prevented, by law, from providing other than telecommunication services.
