NOTICE TO ADS HOLDERS

Oi S.A. - In Judicial Reorganization   (“ Oi ” or “ Company ”) (NYSE:OIBR.C; OTC: OIBRQ) announced today that its Board of Directors has extended the expiration of the Company’s previously announced preemptive rights offer (the “ Rights Offer ”) until 6:00   p.m. (Brasília time) on January 4, 2019. The Rights Offer was originally scheduled to expire on December 26, 2018. Except as otherwise described herein, all other terms and conditions of the Rights Offer remain unchanged.

The Rights Offer is being made in the United States and elsewhere outside of Brazil pursuant to a Prospectus dated November 13, 2018 that has been filed by Oi with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Prospectus ”) in connection with an effective Registration Statement. Capitalized terms used in this Notice and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Prospectus.

The Company also today entered into an amendment to the Commitment Agreement described in the Prospectus under which the automatic termination of the Commitment Agreement was extended until December 31, 2018. The commitments of the Backstop Investors remain subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Commitment Agreement . The extension of the automatic termination of the Commitment Agreement will enable the Company to continue to seek to satisfy these conditions. It allows the Company to continue our ongoing and constructive discussions with the requisite Backstop Investors to obtain waivers of any unmet conditions, extend certain termination event deadlines and eliminate the remaining conditionality of the Backstop Investors' commitments in favor of a fully backstopped offering. In addition, the Company has discussed with the Backstop Investors a proposal under which the ADS Depositary's issuance fee of US$0.05 per New Common ADS would be reduced or eliminated in the event that Backstop Investors holding more than 60% in amount of the total Backstop Commitments fully and unconditionally waive all conditions set forth in the Commitment Agreement.

In light of the Company’s ongoing discussions with Backstop Investors, the Company has determined to extend the Common ADS Rights Expiration Time and the Share Rights Expiration Time (each, as defined below) in an effort to conclude these negotiations prior to the Common ADS Rights Expiration Time.
