Dear Sir:

 

Re: Deduction and Distribution of the

“Voluntary Reserve for the Future Distribution of Dividends”

 

As Officer in Charge of Market Relations at NORTEL INVERSORA S.A. (“Nortel” or the “Company”), I hereby inform you that on the date hereof, Nortel’s Board of Directors decided to deduct an amount from the “Voluntary Reserve for the Future Distribution of Dividends” (the “Reserve”) created by resolution of the Annual and Extraordinary General Stockholders’ Meeting held on April 27, 2012, which was increased by resolutions of the Annual and Extraordinary General Stockholders’ Meetings of Nortel held on April 26, 2013, April 29, 2014 , April 29, 2015 and April 29, 2016 (the “Stockholders Meetings”).

 

As of today, the Reserve – after previous distributions – amounted to AR$ 8,511,418,077.80. From such aggregate amount the Board of Directors resolved to deduct and distribute as cash dividends an amount of AR$ 172,000,000.00, as a result of which the above mentioned Reserve has been reduced to AR$ 8,339,418,077.80.

 

In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors resolved that the cash dividends be made available to the shareholders as of August 30, 2016, or any following date pursuant to applicable law at the jurisdictions where Nortel’s shares are listed. The following amounts are therefore due:

 

a) to the Class B preferred shares, pursuant to the terms of issuance of such shares, an aggregate dividend of AR$ 84,209,848.08, which amounts to AR$ 57.2678851648 for each Class B preferred share, 572.678851648 % of its par value (AR$10), and AR$ 2.8633942582 per ADR; and

 

b) to the shares of common stock, an aggregate dividend of AR$ 87,790,151.92, which amounts to AR$ 16.469711827 for each share of common stock, representing 164.69711827 % of its par value (AR$10).

 

The Company will publish the corresponding payment notice in the Financial Information Highway (“AIF”), within the period provided by Section 40 of Chapter III of Title II of the Rules of the Comisión Nacional de Valores (NT 2013).

 

The Company’s Board of Directors resolved the deduction from the Reserve and the distribution of dividends pursuant to the powers granted by the Stockholders’ Meetings to approve the timing and amounts to be deducted from the Reserve and subsequently distributed to the shareholders.

 

Without further ado, I take this opportunity to greet you sincerely.
