Suspension of payment proceedings commenced with respect to PTIF

On 3 October 2016, the District Court of Amsterdam, The Netherlands granted the request of the Issuer for the commencement of suspension of payment proceedings in The Netherlands. The suspension of payment proceedings were initiated in order to ensure compatibility in The Netherlands with the judicial reorganization in Brazil with respect to Oi and certain of its subsidiaries, including the Issuer. The (provisionally) granted suspension of payment proceedings provide the Issuer with a stay against creditor action in The Netherlands to allow it to restructure its debts with the ultimate aim of satisfying its creditors. Among other matters addressed by the order of the District Court of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Mr. J.L.M. Groenewegen of CMS in Amsterdam was appointed as administrator (bewindvoerder) to oversee the Issuer's (provisionally) granted suspension of payment proceedings in The Netherlands and the interests of PTIF's creditors in cooperation with PTIF's managing board.

All material documents relating to the commencement of the suspension of payment proceedings with respect to the Issuer are being translated into Portuguese and English and will be made available for inspection at Oi's headquarters during normal business hours and on Oi's website (www.oi.com.br/ri). The Portuguese versions of the documents will also be available via the CVM's IPE System Module Empresas.NET (www.cvm.gov.br) and the BM&FBovespa website (www.bmfbovespa.com.br). PTIF's administrator will publish the documents and their translations, and going forward other relevant information for PTIF's creditors on a dedicated website at www.cms-dsb.com/ptif.
