NOTICE TO THE MARKET

 

Updates Concerning the Judicial Reorganization

 

Oi S.A. – In Judicial Reorganization (“Oi” or “Company”) provides its shareholders and the market with information regarding the judicial reorganization of the Oi Companies.

 

Oi was informed by the Dutch judicial administrators that they may apply for a conversion of the suspension of payment proceedings of its subsidiaries Oi Brasil Holdings Coöperatief UA – In Judicial Reorganization (“Oi Brasil Holdings”) and Portugal Telecom International Finance B.V. – In Judicial Reorganization (“PTIF”), Oi’s financial vehicles in the Netherlands, into bankruptcy proceedings. The Company believes that, should such conversion occur, it would not harm the Company’s cash reserves or operating activities and that such conversion would be restricted to Dutch jurisdiction and law. Oi anticipates that this will not result in significant impacts in the judicial reorganization and the day-to-day operations of the Company in Brazil, where Oi will take the necessary measures to keep its assets protected.

 

The Company further informs that it participated in a mediation hearing with the National Telecommunications Agency (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações – Anatel) with the objective of reaching a consensual solution for the debts in which Anatel is a creditor of the Company.

 

Finally, the Company informs that it presented to the Court in which the judicial reorganization is underway a proposal for the use of mediation in order to settle the credits of up to R$50,000, which encompasses a universe of approximately 58,000 creditors with debt claims of up to such amount. Such proposal could result in a disbursement of up to R$783,000,000 by the Company.

 

All of these factors clearly indicate that Oi remains engaged in the search for consensus for the approval of a judicial reorganization plan that ensures the Company’s sustainability, having initiated conversations with creditors in order to discuss possible amendments to the proposed terms of the Company’s judicial reorganization plan.

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

The Company will maintain its shareholders and the market informed of the development of the subject matters of this Notice.
