first incurred the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), on or about November 16, 2001, the date that the Registrant (formerly known as Brasil Telecom S.A.), listed its American

The Registrant has filed or submitted all reports
required under Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and corresponding Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”)
