After the acquisition of a spectrum in the Northeast region and in other complementary areas, Vivo now has a Nationwide Operation

Vivo was the winning bidder of most of the lots offered in the Anatel Bidding Process of Non-Granted Personal Mobile Service (“ SMP”) Licenses and Frequencies
Vivo has enhanced its competitive position upon completing the last coverage gaps, among which are the states of Alagoas, Ceará, Paraíba, Piauí, Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Norte, in the Northeast region

September 25, 2007 – VIVO Participações S.A. (“Vivo”) announces that, after price bids were opened on this date at the head-office of Anatel, it was the winning bidder of the Band L lots, except for lot 16 (area of Londrina-PR) and of lot 20 (North of Brazil). Band L comprises lots in the frequency range from 1895 to 1900 Mhz and from 1975 to 1980 Mhz, with 5 + 5 Mhz width, in all the regions served by the SMP. Accordingly, Vivo managed to complete its last coverage gap and will be soon operating in the whole Brazilian territory.

In order to achieve this benchmark, Vivo has paid 50.60% average premium over the minimum price set in the auction call notice. Vivo offer was around R$ 169.7 million for all Band L lots acquired. However, pursuant to the rules provided for in the auction call notice, the price to be paid refers to the remaning term of the pre-existing authorizations for each lot acquired, which term is always counted as from the date of execution of the Term of Authorization referring to this bidding process. Therefore, the price to be paid by Vivo shall be around R$ 85.3 million, with a downpayment of 10% (R$ 8.5 million). Such downpayment is to be made at the time of the execution of the Terms of Authorization and the balance will be payable in 6 annual installments, with a grace period of 3 years, adjusted to the general price index (IGP-DI) rate plus 1% monthly.

The Official Result of the Auction will be disclosed by Anatel in the Diário Oficial da União(Federal Official Gazette) in the next days and contracts will be executed within up to 10 days after the referred publication.

The Lots acquired by Vivo are summarized in the table below:
