To authorize Telecom Personal to transfer the records of the Mobile Telephony Services, Mobile Cellular Radio communications, Personal Communications Area I, II, III and Advance Mobile Communications, as well as the resources, permits and frequencies granted in its name, in favor of Telecom Argentina and also, in order to avoid the duplication of own records of Telecom Argentina, cancel those granted to Telecom Personal to provide the services of Data Transmission, Value Added and National and International Long Distance Telephony.

In this regards, given the current status of this process, we estimate that Telecom Argentina will be able to assume the operations of the Absorbed Companies from 12:00 am on December 1, 2017, date in which the transfer of the operations and activities of the Absorbed Companies at Telecom Argentina will be subscribed, as foreseen in the Preliminary Reorganization Agreement and the Final Reorganization Agreement.
