NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

Telefônica Brasil S.A. ("Company" or "Telefônica Brasil") hereby announces that on May 28, 2015, the Company's General Meeting (the "Meeting") approved the acquisition by the Company of all of the shares of GVT Participações S.A. ("GVTPar"), and the merger of GVTPar’s shares by the Company (the "Merger of Shares"), with the consequent conversion of GVTPar into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Transaction"), as referred to in the Material Facts published on August 5, 2014, August 28, 2014, August 29, 2014, September 18, 2014, March 26, 2015, and May 12, 2015. The Merger of Shares was also approved by GVTPar’s General Meeting.

 

1.            Withdrawal Rights. Given the approval of the Transaction, the holders of common and preferred shares of Telefônica Brasil dissenting from the resolutions passed at the Meeting shall be entitled to withdraw from the Company, through the reimbursement of the value of the shares demonstrably held by them on September 19 2014 (inclusive) (the "Cut-off Date"), as disclosed in the Notice to Shareholders of Telefônica Brasil dated September 25, 2014. The holders of common or preferred shares who wish to exercise their withdrawal right will be reimbursed by the number of shares held by them at the time of exercise of such withdrawal right, up to the maximum number of shares held by them on the Cut-off Date. The Company's shares acquired after the Cut-off Date will not entitle their holders to such withdrawal right. The reimbursement amount per common or preferred share to be paid in the exercise of the withdrawal right, calculated based on the net equity value of Telefônica Brasil described in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, corresponds to R$40.02 per share. The reimbursement amount per share will be reduced by an amount equal to the dividends declared by the Company on January 30, 2015, and on April 9, 2015, since the amount of such declared dividends formed the profits account and, therefore, the equity value per share on December 31, 2014. Consequently, the reimbursement amount to be paid to the shareholders dissenting from the resolutions passed at the Meeting, corresponding to the adjusted equity value per share on the base date of December 31, 2014, is R$37.55 per common or preferred share.

 

2.            Deadline for Exercise of the Right. Given the publication, on May 29, 2015, of minutes of the Meeting that approved the Transaction, the withdrawal right may be exercised by the shareholders referred to in item 1 above that so wish, from June 01, 2015, through June 30, 2015, pursuant to the provisions of Article 137, item IV of Law No. 6,404/76, as amended.

 

Payment to the shareholders exercising the withdrawal right will be made on July 08, 2015.
