The terms "PT", "Portugal Telecom Group", "PT Group", "Group" and "Company" refer to Portugal Telecom and its subsidiaries or any of them as the context.

On 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom subscribed a share capital increase of Oi through the contribution in kind of the PT Assets, defined as its 100% interest in PT Portugal, which as of that date included all operational businesses of Portugal Telecom Group except for the subsidiaries Bratel BV, Bratel Brasil, S.A., PTB2, S.A. and Marnaz, S.A. and the investments in Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders. As a result of the contribution to the Oi share capital increase on 5 May 2014:

  • PT increased its effective interest in Oi from 23.2%, previously held through Bratel Brasil, to an economic interest of 39.7%, held through a total direct interest of 35.8% (32.8% in Portugal Telecom and 3.0% in Bratel Brasil) and an indirect interest of 3.9% held through the controlling shareholders of Oi.
  • The investment in Oi is classified in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 as from 5 May 2014 and accordingly measured at fair value based on the quote prices of Oi's shares at the balance sheet date.
  • As a result of all transactions that were necessary to implement in connection with the contribution of assets to Oi's capital increase and the low historical carrying value of some of the assets in PT's consolidated statement of financial position, Portugal Telecom recorded a gain of Euro 701 million that then was partially offset by the write off of certain tax assets, namely its tax losses carried forward recognized as an deferred tax assets at its 2013 balance sheet amounting to Euro 208 million as of 5 May 2014, following the discontinuing of the Portuguese operations that supported this tax loss.
  • The earnings and losses of all businesses contributed to Oi' share capital increase were presented as discontinued operations and accordingly the income statements for the 1H13 and 2Q13 were restated.

Consolidated operating costs amounted to Euro 13 million in 1H14 and Euro 8 million in 1H13, reflecting higher third party expenses related to the ongoing business combination between Portugal Telecom and Oi and also higher indirect costs related to those expenses.

Net other gains of Euro 126 million in 1H13 include mainly a gain resulting from the settlement of contractual obligations related to the acquisition of the investment in Oi in 2011, by a lower amount than the liability recognized.

Net interest income amounting to Euro 10 million in 1H14 and Euro 8 million in 1H13 relate mainly to term deposits held by Portugal Telecom and Bratel Brasil, as Portugal Telecom's debt prior to the Oi share capital increase was transferred to Oi as part of PT Assets.

Losses in joint ventures correspond to Portugal Telecom's share in the losses of joint ventures up to 5 May 2014, based on the equity method of accounting, since as from that date the investment in Oi is measured at fair value based on the share price of Oi's shares with the related changes in fair value being included under the caption "Net losses on financial assets and other investments". PT's share in the losses of joint ventures decreased to Euro 38 million in 1H14 as compared to Euro 60 million in 1H13, reflecting mainly a capital gain recorded by Oi in the first quarter of 2014 relating to the disposal of mobile telecommunication towers, amounting to R\$ 1,247 million (equivalent to approximately Euro 60 million corresponding to PT's share, net of taxes), and lower interest expenses

from Oi's controlling shareholders, which in 2014 relate to only four months as compared to six months in 2013. These effects were partially offset by higher interest costs, higher net other financial expenses and lower revenues.

Net losses on financial assets and other investments in 1H14 correspond to the loss resulting from the reduction in the fair value of the investment in Oi between 5 May and 30 June 2014, since as from 5 May 2014 this investment is classified as held for distribution to owners and accordingly measured at fair value based on the quote price of Oi's shares.

Net other financial losses reflect mainly certain bank commissions and other financial services, including in 2Q14 certain financial costs incurred in connection with the business combination between Portugal Telecom and Oi, namely financial taxes paid for the transfer of funds to Brasil.

Income taxes amounted to a gain of Euro 4 million in 1H14, corresponding basically to the tax effect on operating costs and other financial expenses net of interest income recorded in the period. The change compared to the same period of last year reflects mainly higher operating and net other financial costs.

Net income from discontinued operations in 1H14 includes primarily a gain recorded in connection with Oi's share capital increase, totalling Euro 701 million, partially offset by the write-off of tax losses of Euro 208 million recorded on the same date due to the discontinuing of Portuguese businesses that supported the recognition of that deferred tax loss. Adjusting for these effects, discontinued operations reported a net loss of Euro 9 million in 1H14, as compared to a net income of Euro 259 million in 1H13 that reflects primarily the gain recorded in connection with the disposal of the equity investment in CTM in 2Q13 (Euro 310 million), partially offset by certain provisions and adjustments recorded in the same period to adjust the carrying value of certain assets to their corresponding recoverable amounts.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to Euro 14 million in 1H14 and Euro 26 million in 1H13, reflecting mainly lower income from African businesses in 2014 up to 5 May, when these businesses were contributed to Oi's share capital increase.

Net income increased to Euro 345 million in 1H14 as compared to Euro 284 million in 1H13, reflecting primarily (1) the gain recorded in connection with Oi's share capital increase as described above, and (2) lower losses in joint ventures recorded through the equity method of accounting. These effects were partially offset by (1) the net income from discontinued operations in 1H13, amounting to Euro 259 million, which reflected mainly the gain recorded in connection with the disposal of the equity investment in CTM (Euro 310 million), (2) net other gains recorded in 2Q13 (Euro 126 million), related mainly to the settlement of contractual obligations resulting from the acquisition of Oi, and (3) the loss recorded in 2Q14 due to the reduction in the fair value of the investment in Oi as from 5 May (Euro 71 million).

The decrease in total assets and total liabilities reflect the assets and liabilities of the businesses that were contributed to Oi' share capital on 5 May 2014, explaining the reduction across the majority of captions of the consolidated statement of financial position.

Non-current assets held for distribution to owners as at 30 June 2014 correspond to the fair value of the investment in Oi based on quote prices of Oi's shares as of that date. The investment in Oi is classified in accordance with the provisons of IFRS 5 and accordingly measured at fair value based on the quote prices of Oi's shares, since this fair value is lower than the previous carrying amount.

Shareholders' equity excluding non-controlling interests amounted to Euro 2,291 million as at 30 June 2014, compared to Euro 1,641 million as at 31 December 2013, an increase of Euro 650 million reflecting (1) the net income generated in the period (Euro 345 million), (2) positive foreign currency translation adjustments of Euro 213 million, related mainly to the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro, and (3) the reversal of treasury shares related to 10% interest in Portugal Telecom held by Oi (Euro 159 million), following the remeasuring of this investment from the equity accounting to fair value. These effects were partially offset by dividends attributed to PT's shareholders on 30 April 2014 (Euro 86 million) and paid on 30 May.

The Business Combination

Following the memorandum of understanding disclosed to the market on October 2, 2013 (the "Memorandum of Understanding"), Portugal Telecom, Oi and the main shareholders of both companies announced their intention to implement a combination of the businesses of Portugal Telecom and Oi (the "Business Combination") into a single listed company governed by the laws of Brazil, which has now been determined to be CorpCo.

The Business Combination transaction, as initially considered, involved three principal steps:

  • A first step involving a share capital increase of Oi (the "Oi Capital Increase"), completed on May 5, 2014, with the issuance of common shares and preferred shares in a subscription offer totaling R\$8,250 million in cash, including the proceeds resulting from the exercise of the greenshoe option, and the issuance of common shares and preferred shares to Portugal Telecom in exchange for Portugal Telecom's transferring to Oi (i) all of Portugal Telecom's operational assets, except for interests held directly or indirectly –through Bratel Brasil, SA ("Bratel Brasil") and PTB2 SA ("PTB2") - in Oi, Contax Participações, SA, and Bratel BV, and (ii) substantially all of Portugal Telecom's liabilities at the time of transfer, which the valuation report valued at a net value (i.e. assets minus liabilities) of R\$5,709.9 million. Concurrently with the Oi Capital Increase, Portugal Telecom subscribed, through its Brazilian subsidiaries, convertible debentures issued by companies within the chain of control of AG Telecom Participações SA ("AG Telecom") and of LF Tel SA ("LF Tel"), and these companies subscribed convertible debentures of TmarPart. All of such debentures have been converted, and, as a result, PT acquired an additional stake in these companies within the chain of control of AG Telecom and LF Tel and, indirectly, in TmarPart and Oi;
  • A second step involving a Brazilian law incorporation of shares (the "Merger of Shares"), pursuant to which, subject to the approval of holders of Oi and CorpCo common shares, all Oi shares, other than those held by CorpCo, would be exchanged for CorpCo common shares, with Oi thereby becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of CorpCo. At the same time, CorpCo would become listed on the Novo Mercado segment of the BM&FBOVESPA, SA – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (the "BM&FBOVESPA"). Concurrently with the Merger of Shares, the control structure of CorpCo was expected to be simplified through the corporate reorganization of the various holding companies having direct and indirect shareholder interests in CorpCo, as a result of which, among other effects, PT would directly hold the Oi shares corresponding to its indirect interest in CorpCo (the "Corporate Reorganization"); and
  • A third step involving the later merger through incorporation, under Portuguese and Brazilian law, of Portugal Telecom by and into CorpCo, with the latter being the surviving company (the "Merger"), and as a result of which the shareholders of Portugal Telecom would receive a total amount of shares of CorpCo equal to the amount of shares of that company held by Portugal Telecom immediately prior to the Merger. The shares of CorpCo, the entity resulting from the abovementioned transactions, would be

listed on the Novo Mercado segment of the BM&FBOVESPA, on the NYSE Euronext Lisbon regulated market ("Euronext Lisbon"), and on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

The transaction was thus characterized as a friendly merger, and it was left to the management of both companies (which included certain members exercising management positions at both companies as a result of the cross-shareholdings between the companies) to implement such transactions, subject to approval by the shareholders at general meetings. With respect to PT, the first and third steps of the Business Combination were to be subject to the approval of PT's shareholders at general meetings.

Oi Capital Increase

In the context of the Business Combination, the Oi Capital Increase has already taken place, whereby, as expected, part of the new shares issued by Oi were subscribed by Portugal Telecom through a contribution in kind corresponding to all of the shares of PT Portugal, SGPS, SA ("PT Portugal"), a company that held all the operational assets corresponding to the businesses of the companies of the Portugal Telecom group ("Portugal Telecom Group") (with the exception of the interests held, directly or indirectly, in Oi, Contax Participações, SA, and Bratel BV) and the respective liabilities on the date of their contribution ("PT Assets"). The PT Assets were contributed based on the value set forth in a proposal of the Board of Directors of Oi to the general meeting of Oi's shareholders based on a valuation report issued by an independent, specialized institution - Banco Santander (Brasil) SA, engaged by Oi for that purpose – in accordance with applicable Brazilian legislation, which valuation report was approved at the Oi general shareholders' meeting held on March 27, 2014. For more information regarding the valuation methods and criteria used by Banco Santander (Brasil) SA for the issuance of the valuation report, see the copy attached as Annex 1 to the proposal of the PT Board of Directors to the general shareholders' meeting held last March 27, and available at www.cmvm.pt.

As indicated above, given its importance, PT's subscription to the Oi Capital Increase was subject to and approved by the shareholders of PT at a general shareholders' meeting.

Upon completion of the Oi Capital Increase, Oi became a company with significant presence in the principal segments of the telecommunications markets in Portugal and Brazil, while at the same time holding the interests previously held by PT in Africa.

Given the strong complementarity and convergence of PT and Oi's infrastructures, there is a significant potential for joint operation of their businesses, with the resulting development of products and services that are innovative and more far-reaching, as well as for the capture of operational and financial synergies.

On March 27, 2104, the general meeting of Oi's shareholders approved the aforementioned valuation report and the contribution of the PT Assets to Oi, which assets were valued at R\$5,709.9 million - corresponding to Euro 1,750 million, using the conversion rate from Reais to Euros on February 20, 2014 (that is, R\$3.2628 per Euro), as set forth in the previous agreements - the amount for which the general shareholders' meeting of Portugal Telecom, also held on March 27, approved the contribution of the PT Assets in the context of the Oi Capital Increase.

The Oi Capital Increase was completed on May 5, 2014, where Portugal Telecom subscribed for 1,045,803,934 common shares and 1,720,252,731 preferred shares of Oi in exchange for the contribution of all of the shares of PT Portugal, owner of the PT Assets. As a result, Portugal Telecom currently owns, as its sole material asset, a direct and

indirect interest of 39.7% of Oi's share capital, including 39.0% of the voting share capital (excluding indirect interests through TmarPart, AG Telecom and LF Tel in Oi).

The PT Assets contributed by PT in the context of the Oi Capital Increase included a creditor position with respect to Rio Forte Investments, SA ("Rioforte") - a company within GES - corresponding to certain short-term investments subscribed for or acquired by two companies which at the time were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Portugal Telecom – namely, PT Portugal and Portugal Telecom International Finance, BV ("PTIF") – in the aggregate amount of Euro 897 million, as further detailed below (the "Rioforte Investments").

On July 15, 2014, the Rioforte Investments held by the above mentioned subsidiaries in the amount of Euro 847 million matured. On July 17, the additional portion of Euro 50 million of the Rioforte Investments also matured.

Rioforte failed to repay the amounts due under the Rioforte Investments on their respective maturity dates, and on July 22 and 24, 2014, the additional grace periods during which the payment of the Rioforte Investments due on July 15 and 17, respectively, could have been made, also lapsed without the amounts due having been paid.

Shareholder agreements

Under the agreements relating to the Business Combination as currently in effect, if the second step of the Business Combination, which includes the Merger of Shares and the Corporate Reorganization, is not completed by December 31, 2014, the parties will no longer be bound to exercise their respective voting rights in the applicable companies in favor of approving all the steps for Corporate Reorganization and the Merger of Shares expected to occur during this second step, or of the Merger which was expected to occur during the third step of the Business Combination.

In this case, the shareholders' agreements relating to TmarPart (the "TmarPart Shareholder Agreements") entered into or amended on January 25, 2011, and on February 19, 2014, will remain in force, with the quorum requirements provided for in the agreements to be adjusted in consideration of the percentage interests held by BNDES Participações SA - BNDESPAR ("BNDESPAR"), Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil ("PREVI"), Fundação Petrobras de Seguridade Social - PETROS ("PETROS"), and Fundação dos Economiários Federais - FUNCEF ("FUNCEF") on December 31, 2014, in order to ensure that the voting rights of such shareholders are equal to those on February 19, 2014, and provided they have not reduced their respective shareholder interests before December 31, 2014 through the sale of shares to third parties that are not original signatories of the Global Shareholders' Agreement (as defined below) or their related parties.

The TmarPart Shareholder Agreements included (a) a general shareholders' agreement, entered into by all TmarPart shareholders - AG Telecom, LF Tel, Fundação Atlântico de Seguridade Social ("FATL"), Bratel Brasil, BNDESPAR, PREVI, PETROS, and FUNCEF - as parties, and by TmarPart and Portugal Telecom, as intervening parties ("Global Shareholders' Agreement") and (b) a separate shareholders' agreement entered into only among AG Telecom, LF Tel, and FATL as parties, and TmarPart as intervening party ("Control Group Shareholders' Agreement").

In addition to the TmarPart Shareholders' Agreements, if the second step of the Business Combination between Portugal Telecom and Oi, which includes the Merger of Shares and the Corporate Reorganization, is not completed by December 31, 2014, the shareholder agreements entered into among Bratel Brasil, AGSA and Jereissati Telecom, which include the following shareholder agreements entered into by such parties on January 25, 2011, will remain in force: (i) the shareholders' agreement entered into between Jereissati Telecom and Bratel Brasil in relation to EDSP75 Participações ("EDSP"), with EDSP, LF Tel, Pasa Participações ("PASA"), Andrade Gutierrez Telecomunicações Ltda. (which later merged with and into AGSA), AG Telecom and Portugal Telecom as intervening parties (the "EDSP Shareholders' Agreement"), and (ii) the shareholders' agreement entered into between AGSA and Bratel Brasil in relation to PASA, with PASA, AG Telecom and Portugal Telecom as intervening parties (the "PASA Shareholders' Agreement"). The initial terms of these shareholder agreements also expire on April 25, 2048 but can be extended for successive ten-year periods with the consent of all the parties thereto.

These EDSP and PASA shareholder agreements are intended to coordinate PASA and EDSP's corporate governance and to simplify the decision-making process among Jereissati Telecom, AGSA and Portugal Telecom as shareholders of TmarPart. Under these shareholders' agreements, among other things:

  • Rights of first offer are granted to the shareholders with respect to the transfer of shares issued by PASA and EDSP;

  • Tag-along rights are granted in favor of Portugal Telecom, in the event of the sale of PASA and EDSP shares by AGSA or Jereissati Telecom, as applicable; and
  • A general restriction on the sale of shares issued by PASA and EDSP by AGSA or Jereissati Telecom, as applicable, to competitors of Portugal Telecom.

If the Business Combination is not completed by December 31, 2014, any of the shareholders party to the PASA Shareholders' Agreement or the EDSP Shareholders' Agreement may send a notification of non-occurrence of the reorganization and require the adoption of the necessary measures in order for Bratel Brasil, PTB2, AGSA and Jereissati Telecom to receive shares of capital stock of Oi held by AG Telecom and LF Tel, in proportion to their respective direct and indirect capital interests in those entities.

The implementation of the second step of the Business Combination, which includes the Corporate Reorganization and the Merger of Shares, requires a further pre-meeting of the shareholders of CorpCo to approve the accounting valuation reports required for the implementation of such transactions, among other matters.

As at 30 June 2014, PT's employees were 27, which include 7 executive directors, 16 non-executive directors and 4 members of the Compensation Committee.

Agreement on the terms for proceeding with the Business Combination

On July 28, 2014, PT and Oi defined the terms of the principal definitive agreements (the "Definitive Agreements") that, subject to the approval by the General Shareholders' Meeting of PT of the execution of the agreements to be entered into with Oi for proceeding with the implementation of the Business Combination with the necessary adjustments, and subject to the approval of the board of directors of Oi, will be entered into between, on the one hand, PT, and on the other hand, Portugal Telecom International Finance B.V. and PT Portugal, SGPS, S.A. (collectively, the "Oi Subsidiaries"), as well as with Oi and CorpCo, and the purpose of which is to establish the terms and conditions pursuant to which the transactions agreed upon between Oi and PT for proceeding with the second step of the Business Combination, including the Merger of Shares and the Corporate Reorganization, may be enacted, as described above. The Definitive Agreements are governed by Brazilian law.

The Definitive Agreements provide for (i) an exchange pursuant to which PT will acquire the Rioforte Investments from the Oi Subsidiaries, and in exchange, PT will transfer to the Oi Subsidiaries common and preferred shares issued by Oi (or by CorpCo, if the exchange is implemented after the Merger of Shares); and (ii) the Oi Subsidiaries will grant PT a call option to acquire Oi shares.

Given that the transactions described above involve Oi shares that will be treasury shares, the consummation of the Exchange (as defined below) and the subsequent effectiveness of the Call Option (as defined below) are subject to approval by the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão dos Valores Mobiliários or "CVM") of (a) the receipt of the Exchange Shares by the Oi Subsidiaries; (b) the maintenance of Oi treasury shares (and, after the Merger of Shares, of CorpCo shares) in an amount equivalent to the maximum number of Exchange Shares (as defined below); and (c) the grant of a call option by the Oi Subsidiaries to PT for an amount equivalent to the maximum number of Exchange Shares. If CVM approval cannot be obtained by March 31, 2015, the Exchange will not be consummated and the Call Option will not become effective in accordance with the terms set forth in the Definitive Agreements.

Principal terms of the Exchange Agreement and Other Covenants ("Exchange Agreement")

The Oi Subsidiaries and PT will effect an exchange whereby PT will transfer to the Oi Subsidiaries 474,348,720 common shares and 948,697,440 preferred shares of Oi, it being specified that both classes of shares are listed ("Exchange Shares"), and the Oi Subsidiaries will, in exchange, deliver the Rioforte Investments to PT ("Exchange"). If the Exchange takes place only after the Merger of Shares, PT will deliver 1,348,193,932 common shares of CorpCo (which will also be listed) to the Oi Subsidiaries. The Rioforte Investments we will acquire under the Definitive Agreements to be considered by the General Shareholders' Meeting may ultimately have no value.

The consummation of the Exchange, with the transfer of the Exchange Shares to the Oi Subsidiaries and of the Rioforte Investments to PT must be completed within 3 (three) business days after the date of CVM approval.

The Exchange Agreement further provides that once the Exchange will have been consummated, Oi, CorpCo and the Oi Subsidiaries will grant PT and its directors a release in relation to the subscription for or acquisition of the treasury applications in the Rioforte Investments and their later contribution to the Oi Capital Increase, as well as an express waiver by Oi and the Oi Subsidiaries of any right to file a claim or to claim indemnification (with the express and exclusive exception of claims relating to the right of recourse against PT with respect to third-party claims) by virtue of the Rioforte Investments and their contribution in the context of the Oi Capital Increase or any omissions or incomplete information related specifically to the Rioforte Investments, their situation and the risks involved.

Principal terms of the Call Option Agreement and Other Covenants ("Call Option Agreement")

Pursuant to the Call Option Agreement, the Oi Subsidiaries will grant to PT a non-transferable, American type call option (the "Call Option") to acquire 474,348,720 common shares and 948,697,440 preferred shares of Oi (or 1,348,193,932 common shares of CorpCo, after the Merger of Shares) (the "Call Option Shares").

PT may exercise the Call Option, in whole or in part, at any time, during a period of six years, as from the date of the consummation of the Exchange. The original number of Call Option Shares that PT is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Call Option will be reduced by 10% upon the first anniversary of the effective date of the Call Option and by 18% on each successive anniversary.

The Call Option exercise price will be R\$1.8529 per preferred share and R\$2.0104 per common share issued by Oi (and, if applicable, R\$2.0104 per common share issued by CorpCo), in each case adjusted by the Brazilian CDI rate plus 1.5% per annum, calculated pro rata temporis, from the date of the Exchange and through the date of effective payment of the price of exercise, in full or in part, of the Call Option. The exercise price of the Call Option must be paid in cash, in immediately available funds, on the date of the transfer of the Call Option Shares.

If PT Portugal, SGPS, S.A., Portugal Telecom International Finance B.V., and/or any subsidiary of Oi does not hold, in treasury, a sufficient number of Call Option Shares to deliver to PT, the Call Option may be settled by payment in cash by the Oi Subsidiaries to PT of the amount corresponding to the difference between the market price for the Call Option Shares on the business day immediately preceding the exercise of the Call Option and the applicable exercise price corresponding to these shares.

So long as the Call Option is in effect, PT will be precluded from acquiring Oi shares or CorpCo shares, directly or indirectly, other than through the exercise of the Call Option. PT may not assign or transfer the Call Option and may not grant any rights associated with the Call Option, including any guarantees without Oi's consent. If PT issues, directly or indirectly, derivative instruments indexed, backed by or related to shares of Oi or CorpCo, it must immediately use all the financial proceeds received, directly or indirectly, in these transactions for the acquisition of Call Option Shares.

Oi may terminate the Call Option if (i) the bylaws of PT are voluntarily amended to delete or amend the provision that limits the voting rights of any shareholder to 10% of the total voting rights of PT; (ii) PT begins to compete with Oi; or (iii) PT breaches certain obligations under the Call Option Agreement.

The Call Option will automatically expire if the Exchange is not implemented by March 31, 2015.

Other information related to the operation, corporate approvals, and the Business Combination

The terms and conditions of the Definitive Agreements were approved on July 28, 2014 by the Board of Directors of PT. The execution of the Definitive Agreements, the implementation of the Exchange and the grant of the Call Option described above are subject to certain conditions, including, among other corporate approvals, approval by the General Shareholders' Meeting of PT and the board of directors of Oi.

The following matters will also be submitted to a pre-meeting of the shareholders of CorpCo: (i) the proposed alternative structure under analysis for the integration of the shareholder bases of PT and CorpCo upon completion of the incorporation of Oi's shares not covered by the Exchange, and, if viable, the admission to trading of CorpCo shares on the BM&FBOVESPA, NYSE and Euronext Lisbon; (ii) amendments to the bylaws of CorpCo to include a limitation of 7.5% on the voting rights applicable to (a) PT, and (b) any other shareholder who receives a percentage interest in CorpCo greater than 15% of CorpCo's share capital as a result of the potential integration of the shareholder bases of PT and CorpoCo, excluding any shares of CorpCo already held by that shareholder or that are acquired through other means; and (iii) amendments to the deadlines and other provisions of the amendments to the shareholders' agreements, the temporary voting agreement and the agreements relating to the termination of the shareholders' agreements, all of which were entered into on February 19, 2014.

Following the consummation of the Exchange, PT intends to pursue, to the full extent permitted by the law, the available legal and procedural options against Rioforte and any relevant related parties with a view to obtaining

repayment of the Rioforte Investments, including in any debt restructuring under the controlled management (gestion contrôlée) procedures in accordance with Luxembourg law.

Finally, PT intends to maintain its shares listed on the Euronext Lisbon market after the consummation of the Exchange and the grant of the Call Option, to the extent the listing requirements for such market continue to be met.

05 Main risks and uncertainties

The events and circumstances described below could result in a significant or material adverse effect on the financial condition of Portugal Telecom and a corresponding decline in the market price of the ordinary shares of Portugal Telecom or the Portugal Telecom ADSs, as the case may be.

Exchange rates

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on Brazilian Real against the Euro affect the translation of the results attributable to Portugal Telecom and therefore can impact its results and asset position. As mentioned in Note 16, a gain of Euro 58 million was recorded in other comprehensive income, reflecting the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro between 5 May 2014 and 30 June 2014.

Oi stock price

Oi's stock price fluctuation can impact Portugal Telecom results and assets position, since as mentioned in Note 3 of the financial statements, this investment is measured at fair value based on the quote price of Oi's shares.

At 30 June 2014, a loss of Euro 71 million was recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement under the caption "Net Losses on financial assets and other investments", corresponding to the impact of the reduction in the price of Oi's share.

Credit

Risks related to treasury activities result mainly from cash deposits made by Portugal Telecom. In order to dilute these risks, Portugal Telecom's treasury policy is based on the following guidelines:

  • Investments on available funds are only made in bank deposits, therefore any other type of investment is excluded;
  • The counterparty financial institutions must have credit rating;
  • Implementation of a threshold by counterparty of 34% of total amount of bank deposits;

New Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") signed between Portugal Telecom and Oi

On 28 July 2014, following the non-repayment by Rio Forte of the Euro 897 million treasury applications, Portugal Telecom and Oi reached an agreement on the final terms of the key contracts following the new MoU signed in 16 July 2014.

In the context of the Business Combination, it is worth mentioning certain corporate events that could be implemented following the execution of the agreements between PT and Oi, including the execution and implementation of the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement.

Initial scenario

First and foremost, it is worth recalling that, as initially delineated in the Memorandum of Understanding, at the time the PT shareholders were called to consider the contribution in the Oi Capital Increase, it was expected that, in the course of the Business Combination, and after the referred to capital increase operation, the steps listed below and described in section 1.1 would be implemented.

Simplification of the control structure of CorpCo - Corporate Reorganisation

The Business Combination would result in the simplification of the control structure of CorpCo. This simplification would proceed from the corporate reorganisation of the various holding companies having direct and indirect interests in CorpCo, as a result of which, among other effects, PT would directly hold the Oi shares corresponding to its indirect interest in CorpCo. The Corporate Reorganisation would take place simultaneously with the Merger of Shares.

Merger of Shares

Simultaneously, all of the shares of Oi would be incorporated into CorpCo, and Oi's common shares and preferred shares would be exchanged for common shares of CorpCo. As a result of this transaction, Oi would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CorpCo.

Pursuant to the expected terms of the Merger of Shares, (i) each Oi common share issued and outstanding at the time of the Merger of Shares (excluding Oi common shares held by CorpCo in treasury or by shareholders who exercise any appraisal or withdrawal rights to which they may become entitled) would be automatically converted into one CorpCo common share, and (ii) each Oi preferred share issued and outstanding at the time of the Merger of Shares (excluding Oi preferred shares held by CorpCo or treasury shares) would be automatically converted into 0.9211 CorpCo common share.

It had initially been intended for the shares representing the share capital of CorpCo, the entity resulting from the various transactions constituting the Business Combination, to be listed on the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA, on the Euronext Lisbon regulated market and on the NYSE.

07 Outlook

PT Merger

Finally, the Business Combination would be completed with the merger of PT with and into CorpCo. This international merger would involve the incorporation of PT into CorpCo, as a result of which Portugal Telecom would cease to exist after the definitive commercial registration of the Merger. As a result of this merger, the former shareholders of PT would become direct shareholders of CorpCo.

New structure under analysis

In view of all the circumstances described above, if the agreements between PT and Oi, including the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement, are approved and entered into, and PT comes to hold the Rioforte Investments and the Call Option as described above, then PT and Oi have come to the conclusion that the implementation of the last step listed above, the Merger, would not be viable.

However, PT and Oi consider it to be in the best interest of both companies and their respective shareholders to proceed with the Business Combination already initiated with the contribution of the PT Assets by Portugal Telecom in the Oi Capital Increase, even if such process may be subject to certain necessary adjustments in light of recent circumstances. In fact, notwithstanding these adjustments, the implementation of the transactions simplifying the shareholder structure of CorpCo, as well as of the Merger of Shares to CorpCo remain valid and are considered positive in enabling the migration of CorpCo to the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA, benefiting from enhanced corporate governance standards, increased liquidity, diffused shareholdings in the market and acceleration of the synergies generated by the transaction.

Therefore, since the Merger cannot be implemented as mentioned, an alternative structure is currently under analysis, seeking to achieve, if possible, the results expected from the Merger, namely: the unification of the shareholder bases of both companies, with the attribution to PT shareholders of shares that Portugal Telecom would hold in CorpCo after the implementation of the Exchange, with the admission to trading of the shares of CorpCo on the BM&FBOVESPA, the Euronext Lisbon and the NYSE. The goal is to achieve these results as soon as possible, such that shareholders of PT come to be, in the shortest timeframe possible — but always after the migration of CorpCo to the Novo Mercado — holders of shares of CorpCo.

This alternative structure, which will have to be approved by the Board of Directors of PT and presented for the approval of PT shareholders at a general shareholders' meeting to be convened specifically for that purpose, would entail a reduction of the share capital of PT, in connection with which PT shareholders would receive CorpCo shares that PT would hold upon consummation of the Exchange. Accordingly, there would be no cash payment to shareholders, who would receive, in exchange for their canceled shares, assets with liquidity, in proportion to their interests held in PT.

As a prerequisite to this transaction, CorpCo shares would need to be listed on the Euronext Lisbon regulated market.

For this purpose, CorpCo must request the admission to trading of its shares on the Euronext Lisbon and prepare the corresponding prospectus to be approved by the Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários ("CMVM") within a timeframe compatible with the overall timetable for the completion of the Corporate Reorganization and the subsequent Merger of Shares and migration of CorpCo to the Novo Mercado segment of the BM&FBOVESPA.

07 Outlook

If the Board of Directors approves and proposes to PT shareholders a share capital reduction and PT shareholders also approve such transaction, shareholders of PT would, on the one hand, become shareholders in CorpCo — as though the Merger of PT had been partially executed — while maintaining, on the other hand, their respective shareholder interests in PT, which would still hold the Rioforte Investments, as well as the Call Option in accordance to the terms set forth above, and is expected to remain listed on the Euronext Lisbon, to the extent the listing requirements for such market are met.

Any share capital reduction that may be approved by the Board of Directors and submitted to the shareholders of PT must be approved, at a general shareholders' meeting to be convened specifically for that purpose, by shareholders representing two-thirds of Portugal Telecom's outstanding capital, on the first call, with shareholders who hold shares representing at least one-third of the outstanding shares being present or represented. As such, it is possible that, even if PT consummates the Exchange, the capital reduction may not be carried out, namely if it fails to be approved by PT's shareholders. In that event, PT would continue to hold the Rioforte Investments, the Call Option and CorpCo shares corresponding to approximately 25.6% of CorpCo's share capital, subject to PT's being limited to 7.5% of the voting rights of CorpCo, which limitation will be contained in the bylaws of CorpCo and which had previously been agreed upon when the definitive agreements on the terms and conditions of the Business Combination were executed on February 19, 2014.

It is worth bearing in mind that, under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, PT had the option to choose not to consummate its subscription to the Oi Capital Increase if its interest in CorpCo would, as a result of the subscription orders for the Oi Capital Increase, after the Merger of Shares, be equal to or less than 36.6% of CorpCo share capital. However, this option related only to the Oi Capital Increase — which has already been completed and settled — such that the exercise of this option is no longer available to PT.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

As at 30 June 2014

(Amounts expressed in Euros, except where otherwise stated)

1. Introduction

On 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A. ("Portugal Telecom" or "Company") subscribed for 1,045,803,934 common shares and 1,720,252,731 preferred shares issued by Oi, S.A. ("Oi") through the contribution of the PT Assets defined as its 100% interest in PT Portugal, SGPS, S.A., which as of that date included all operational businesses of Portugal Telecom Group except for the subsidiaries Bratel BV, Bratel Brasil, S.A., PTB2, S.A. and Marnaz, S.A. and the investments in Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders. As a result of the contribution to the Oi share capital increase:

  • Portugal Telecom increased its effective interest in Oi from 23.2%, previously held through Bratel Brasil, to an economic interest of 39.7%, held through a total direct interest of 35.8% (32.8% in Portugal Telecom and 3.0% in Bratel Brasil) and an indirect interest of 3.9% held through the controlling shareholders of Oi;
  • Portugal Telecom currently holds only the above mentioned investment in Oi, interests in controlling shareholders of Oi ( which primarily hold only shares of Oi) and 100% of the holding companies Bratel BV, Bratel Brasil, PTB2 and Marnaz.

Up to 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom and its subsidiaries and joint ventures were engaged in rendering a comprehensive range of telecommunications and multimedia services in Portugal, Brazil and other countries in Africa and Asia.

Oi Share Capital Increase

On 1 October 2013, Portugal Telecom, Oi S.A., AG Telecom Participações S.A. ("AG"), LF Tel S.A. ("LF"), Bratel Brasil S.A. ("Bratel"), Pasa Participações S.A. ("Pasa"), EDSP 75 Participações S.A. ("EDSP75") (which together with Telemar Participações S.A. ("Tpart") are defined as "Oi Holding Companies"), Banco Espírito Santo ("BES") and Nivalis Holding B.V. ("Ongoing") signed a memorandum of understanding setting out the basis for a proposed merger of Portugal Telecom, Oi and the Oi Holding Companies (the "Business Combination") into a single Brazilian incorporated listed entity ("CorpCo" or "Telemar Participações"). The merger is a natural fulfillment of the industrial alliance established in 2010 creating a leading telecoms operator.

On 19 February 2014, Portugal Telecom and Oi signed the definitive agreements relating to the combination of their businesses. These agreements govern the steps necessary to implement the Business Combination, which include the following primary transactions, some of which were already completed and others are expected to be completed during the second half of 2014:

− On 5 May 2014, Oi realised a share capital increase under which it issued a total of 2,142,279,524 ordinary shares at the price of R\$2.17 per share and of 4,284,559,049 preferred shares at the price of R\$2.00 per share and, on the same date, pursuant to article 24 of CVM Instruction No. 400, Banco BTG Pactual S.A. ("Banco Pactual"), in its role as Stabilizing Agent for the Public Offering, partially exercised its option to place an additional 120,265,046 common shares and 240,530,092 preferred shares issued by Oi; the total proceeds from this share capital increase, including the option exercised by Banco Pactual, amounted to R\$13,960 million, composed of (1) R\$5,710 million (Euro 1,750 million based on the exchange rate as of 21 February 2014) in assets contributed by Portugal Telecom, corresponding to the valuation of PT Assets (as defined below) carried out by Banco Santander (Brasil), S.A., as a result of which Portugal Telecom subscribed for 1,045,803,934 common shares and 1,720,252,731 preferred shares issued by Oi, and (2) R\$8,250 million in cash proceeds obtained from other investors, which subscribed for the remainder 1,216,740,636 ordinary shares and 2,804,836,410 preferred shares issued by Oi; the participation of Portugal Telecom in the Oi capital increase, through the contribution of assets representing all of the operating assets held directly or indirectly by the Portugal Telecom Group and the related liabilities with the exception of the shares of Oi, the shares of Contax Participações S.A. and the shares of Bratel B.V. ("PT Assets"), for the amount of Brazilian R\$5,710 million (Euro 1,750 million), was approved by a majority of 99.87% of the votes present at a General Meeting of Portugal Telecom's shareholders held on 27 March 2014.

  • − On 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Bratel Brasil and PTB2, subscribed R\$4,788 million (Euro 1,555 million based on the exchange rate of 5 May 2014) of debentures convertible into shares of certain holding companies that directly or indirectly control AG and LF, the proceeds of which were ultimately used by AG and LF to repay its indebtness and to subscribe convertible debentures to be issued by Telemar Participações, which in turn also used those proceeds to repay its own indebtness; also on 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom exchanged its interests in CTX Participações and Contax for additional interests in the holding entities that directly or indirectly controlled AG and LF, which at that time held only shares of Oi and Telemar Participações; as a result of these transactions, Portugal Telecom increased its economic interests in AG and LF from 35% to 85.1% and in Telemar Participações from 25.6% to 68.4%, and obtained an additional 2.4% interest in Oi.
  • − Subject to the approvals of the holders of voting shares of Oi and Telemar Participações, Oi shares not owned by Telemar Participações will be exchanged for Telemar Participações common shares and Oi will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telemar Participações.

Portugal Telecom Group, in connection with the Oi share capital increase referred to above, has undertaken an internal restruturing with the purpose of concentrating all operating assets and related liabilities except for the investments in Oi and Contax ("PT Assets") under PT Portugal, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Portugal Telecom. This was an internal reorganization of entities under common control and, as such, no gains or losses were recorded in the consolidated financial statements of Portugal Telecom. The following main corporate transactions prior to the Oi share capital increase were realized under this internal restruturing:

  • − On 31 March 2014, Portugal Telecom disposed to PT Portugal, for total amounts of Euro 1.5 million and Euro 4.7 million, the 100% interests in PT Centro Corporativo and Portugal Telecom Investimentos, respectively.
  • − On 30 April 2014, PT Móveis, SGPS, S.A. ("PT Móveis") subscribed a share capital increase of Bratel BV in an amount of approximately Euro 1,303 million, the proceeds of which, together with cash on hand of Bratel Brasil, were used, after the acquisition of Bratel BV, to subscribe R\$4,788 million (Euro 1,555 million) of convertible debentures into shares of certain controlling entities of AG and LF, as referred to above.
  • − On 2 May 2014, PT Móveis, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PT Portugal, disposed to Portugal Telecom, for a total amount of Euro 4,195 million, its 100% interest in Bratel BV, the company that holds indirectly through Bratel Brasil the investment in Oi, as this investment is not included in the net assets to be transferred to Oi in the share capital increase.
  • − On 2 May 2014, Portugal Telecom disposed to PT Móveis, for a total amount of Euro 1,590 million, the 100% interest in PT Participações, SGPS, S.A., the controlling shareholder of the Company's 75% investment in Africatel Holdings BV.
  • − On 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom disposed to PT Portugal, for a total amount of Euro 255 million, the 100% interest in PT Finance. On 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom transferred to PT Portugal the majority of its outstanding financings for their respective nominal amounts, since those financings were included in the valuation of PT Portugal for purposes of the Oi share capital increase.

On 5 May 2014, following the completion of the above mentioned internal restruturing, Portugal Telecom subscribed the Oi share capital increase through the contribution in kind of its 100% interest in PT Portugal, which as of that date included only the PT Assets, since the investments in joint ventures (Oi, Telemar Participações, AG and LF) were held directly by Bratel Brasil and PTB2, both of which were wholly-owned by Bratel BV which in turn was wholly-owned by Portugal Telecom. Besides the investments in joint ventures, certain assets and liabilities of Portugal Telecom were not transferred to PT Portugal as part of PT Assets and therefore continued to be fully consolidated in Portugal Telecom's financial statements, including mainly dividends payable to its shareholders, the financing associated with the equity swap contract over treasury shares, certain tax liabilities and certain accrued expenses as well as the necessary cash balances to settle these liabilities and other expenses expected to be incurred. In addition, as Portugal Telecom no longer controls PT Assets as from 5 May 2014, the related earnings and losses prior to that date are presented as results from discontinued operations and therefore the consolidated income and cash flow statements for the six months period ended 30 June 2013 were restated accordingly (Note 3).

Following the share capital increase mentioned above and also the option exercised by Banco Pactual, Portugal Telecom held a 39.7% effective interest of Oi's issued and outstanding share capital, including (1) a 35.8% interest held directly in Oi, S.A. through Portugal Telecom (32.8%) and Bratel Brasil (3.0%) and (2) a 3.9% interest held indirectly through the shares of Oi owned by Telemar Participações, AG and LF. In addition, PT Portugal became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oi, S.A. also as a result of the Oi share capital increase.

Portugal Telecom recorded a gain of approximately Euro 701 million (Note 12) in connection with Oi's share capital increase, which reflects mainly (1) the difference between the fair value of the shares obtained in the Oi share capital increase and the carrying value of PT Assets (negative Euro 2,676 million), partially offset by (2) the dilution effect on Portugal Telecom's previous investment in Oi held through Bratel Brasil and the effect of the remeasurement of the previous investment in Oi to fair value, since as from 5 May 2014 this investment is classified in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 (Note 3). The detail of the total gain recorded in connection with Oi share capital increase is as follows:

Euro million
Fair value of shares obtained in the Oi share capital increase (i) 1,854
Minus: Carrying value of the net assets contributed to Oi share capital increase (ii) (2,676)
Plus: Remeasurement of the previous investment in Oi to fair value and other effects (iii) (3,829)
Total gain (Note 12) (iv) 701
  • (i) This caption corresponds to the fair value of the shares obtained by Portugal Telecom in the Oi share capital increase of 5 May 2014, which, based on the price of Oi's shares (R\$2.17 per ordinary share and R\$2.00 per preferred share), amounted to R\$5,710 million, equivalent to Euro 1,854 million at the exchange rate of that date.
  • (ii) As of 5 May 2014, the carrying value of the net assets contributed to the Oi share capital increase was negative Euro 2,676 million, the detail of which is presented below. It should be mentioned that this amount is equivalent to approximately the Company's total shareholders' equity before non-controlling interests prior to this transaction, reduced mainly by the carrying value of the investments in Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders, and the cash proceeds of Euro 1,555 million that were used by Bratel Brasil and PTB2 to subscribe the convertible debentures mentioned above, in order to obtain additional shares of the controlling entities of AG and LF and indirecly of OI, and deferred tax assets related to tax losses.
  • (iii) As referred to above, this caption reflects the dilution effect over the previous investment in Oi held through Bratel Brasil and the impact of the remeasurement of the previous investment in Oi from the equity method of accounting to the fair value based on the stock price of Oi's shares in the capital increase (R\$2.17 per ordinary share and R\$2.00 per preferred share), adjusted for an amount of Euro 159 million relating to the Company's share in the 10% interest that Oi held in Portugal Telecom that was classified in the Statement of Financial Position as treasury shares. Following the share capital increase, the fair value of the total investment in Oi, including the interests held directly and indirectly, amounted to Euro 2,244 million (R\$ 6,914 million) as at 5 May 2014.
  • (iv) This caption represents (1) the gain attributable to the difference between the fair value of the shares obtained in the Oi share capital increase (positive Euro 1,854 million, as referred to above) and the carrying value of the net assets contributted to the Oi share capital increase (negative Euro 2,676 million, as detailed below), (2) less the negative effects regarding the remeasuring of the previous investment to fair value, which is lower than the carrying amount, the dilution effect over that same previous investment. In addition, as a result of the share capital increase, Portugal Telecom wrote-off deferred tax assets relating to tax losses amounting to Euro 208 million (Note 11) following the discontinuing of the Portuguese businesses that supported those tax losses, resulting in a total net gain of Euro 493 million on 5 May 2014 directly related to the Oi share capital increase.

The table below presents the detail of the carrying value of PT Assets as of 5 May 2014, after which those assets were no longer fully consolidated in Portugal Telecom's consolidated financial statements:

Short-term investments as at 5 May 2014 in the table above included a total amount of Euro 897 million outstanding in commercial paper issued by Rio Forte Investments, S.A. ("Rioforte", an holding company located in Luxemburg, mainly for the nonfinancial investments of the Espírito Santo Group), which was contributed to the Oi share capital increase as part of PT Assets. The composition of the outstanding amount is as follows:

  • Euro 200 million subscribed by Portugal Telecom on 15 April 2014 and transferred to PT Portugal on 5 May 2014, the maturity of which was on 15 July 2014;
  • Euro 647 million subscribed by PT Finance on 15 April 2014, the maturity of which was on 15 July 2014;
  • Euro 50 million subscribed by PT Finance on 17 April 2014, the maturity of which was on 17 July 2014.

The above mentioned commercial paper was not repaid by Rioforte on the respective maturity dates and RioForte has recently requested access to the controlled management regime under Luxemburg legislation, as it believes that it does not have the financial ability to comply with its financial commitments. As a result, Portugal Telecom and Oi reached an agreement to exchange the Euro 897 million treasury applications in Rioforte for 16.9% of Oi share capital, represented by 474,348,720 Oi ON shares plus 948,697,440 Oi PN shares, the execution of which is subject to approval by the General Shareholders Meeting of Portugal Telecom, the Board of Directors of Oi and Comissão de Valores Mobiliários in Brazil, as explained in more detail in Note 24.

In addition to the assets and liabilities included in the table above that were contributed to the Oi share capital increase, and since the merger between Portugal Telecom and CorpCo is no longer foreseeable in the short-term as before, Portugal Telecom and Oi are finalizing an agreement for the transfer to Oi of certain liabilities recorded at Portugal Telecom's Statement of Financial Position together with the related cash equivalents to settle those liabilities, which include accrued management costs and responsibilities and provisions for tax contingencies relating to former subsidiaries of Portugal Telecom, totaling approximately Euro 28 million.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on 28 August 2014.

2. Basis of presentation

These interim consolidated financial statements have been presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). These financial statements do not include all the information required by the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013. In addition, further explanations for the main changes of revenues and costs are disclosed in our interim management report, which should be read in conjunction with these interim consolidated financial statements.

As mentioned in Note 1, subsequent to 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom no longer fully consolidates the majority of the businesses held prior to that date, which were contributed to the Oi share capital increase. The revenues, costs and cash flows of these businesses prior to that date are presented under captions of discontinued operations and as a result the Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows for the six months period ended 30 June 2013 were restated accordingly (Note 3).

3. Changes in accounting policies

As referred to in the 2013 annual report, in the fourth quarter of 2013, Portugal Telecom chose to early adopt the "package of five" standards issued by the IASB in May 2011 (IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12 and revised versions of IAS 27 and IAS 28), although its application in the European Union was only mandatory as from 1 January 2014. The impacts of the adoption of IFRS 11 consisted of recognizing the investments in joint ventures by the equity method of accounting, including primarily Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders, which prior to the adoption of this standard were proportionally consolidated as allowed by IAS 31, standard that has been replaced by IFRS 11.

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 11 for the first time in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of 31 December 2013 presented in the Company's last annual report already reflected the impacts of the adoption of this standard, but the Consolidated Income and Cash Flow Statements for the six months period ended 30 June 2013 presented in last year's interim report did not reflect the impacts of the adoption of IFRS 11 and therefore were restated accordingly.

In addition to the adoption of IFRS 11, the Company also restated the Consolidated Income and Cash Flow Statements for the six and three-month periods ended 30 June 2013 by presenting the revenues, costs and cash flows from the businesses contributed to the Oi share capital increase under the captions of discontinued operations.

The impacts of the restatement (due to the adoption of IFRS 11 and the discontinued operations of PT Assets) of the Consolidated Income and Cash Flow Statements for the six and three-month periods ended 30 June 2013 are as follows:

In addition to the changes in accounting policies referred to above, following Oi's share capital increase on 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom changed the recognition criteria of the investment in Oi from the equity method of accounting to held for distribution to owners in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 (Note 16), and accordingly measured this investment at fair value based on the price of Oi shares, since that fair value is lower than the previous carrying amount. Any future distribution would be subject to formal approval by the Board of Directors of Portugal Telecom, the shareholders of Portugal Telecom at a meeting convened for that purpose, and other conditions. Regarding the recognition of changes in fair value of this investment, as mentioned below, changes attributable to the appreciation or depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro are recorded directly under the Statement of Comprehensive Income as foreign currency translation adjustments and the remaining changes are recorded in the Income Statement.

(4,472,274) 4,334,795 (3,163,587) (1,908,170)

The composition of deferred tax assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2014 and 31 December 2013 is as follows:

Other 1,740,804 82,568,093
1,740,804 243,824,693

The reduction in total deferred tax assets reflects mainly the deferred tax assets from discontinued operations as at 5 May 2014 (Euro 341 million), which were no longer consolidated as from that date, and the write-off of deferred tax assets relating to tax losses (Euro 208 million). These deferred tax assets relating to tax losses were recorded at Portugal Telecom holding company in connection with the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies. This write-off was included under the results of discontinued operations as those tax losses became non-recoverable following the discontinuing of the businesses that supported the tax consolidation group.

The reduction in total deferred tax liabilities reflects mainly the deferred tax liabilities from discontinued operations as at 5 May 2014 (Euro 229 million), which were no longer consolidated as from that date, and the reversal of a deferred tax liability of Euro 13 million recorded at Portugal Telecom corresponding to the tax effect on the convertible option included in the exchangeable bond that was also contributed to the Oi share capital increase.

12. Discontinued operations

(ii) Dilutive effects correspond to the impact of the exchangeable bonds issued on August 2007, applicable up to 5 May 2014 when this financing was transferred to PT Portugal under the Oi share capital increase.

These repayments were classified as cash receipts from investing activities of discontinued operations.
  • (ii) The debentures as at 31 December 2013, amounting to approximately Euro 162 million, were issued by Banco Santander Brasil, S.A. and Dibens Leasing, S.A. and were subscribed by Brazilian subsidiaries of Portugal Telecom Group. Up to 5 May 2014, debentures included under this caption were repaid and the related proceeds plus the proceeds from the cash capital increases realized by Bratel BV in Bratel Brasil and PTB2 were used to subscribe debentures issued by the controlling shareholders of Oi, as explained in Note 1.

16. Non-current assets held for distribution to owners

On 28 March 2011, as referred to in Note 1, Portugal Telecom concluded the acquisition process of its investments in Oi and the agreements with the controlling shareholders of these companies. This investment was realized through the acquisition of a direct stake in this company and indirectly through the acquisition of stakes in the share capital of its controlling shareholders. Oi Group is the leading provider of telecommunication services in the Brazilian market, providing these services through Oi, S.A. and its subsidiaries.

As mentioned in Note 3, as from 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom recognizes the investment in Oi in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5. This investment is therefore measured at fair value based on the quote price of Oi shares as at 30 June 2014, which is the best reference of fair value and is lower than the previous carrying amount.

Based on Oi's stock price for purposes of the share capital increase as at 5 May 2014 (R\$ 2.17 per ordinary share and R\$ 2.00 per preferred share) and Oi's stock price as at 30 June 2014 (R\$ 2,08 per ordinary share and R\$ 1,95 per preferred share), the investment in Oi was valued at Euro 2,244 million (R\$ 6,914 million) as at 5 May 2014 and Euro 2,231 million (R\$ 6,695 million) as at 30 June 2014.

The reduction in the investment in Oi between 5 May and 30 June 2014, amounting to Euro 13 million, reflects:

  • A loss of Euro 71 million recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement under the caption "Net losses on financial assets and other investments", corresponding to the change in the fair value of the investment in Oi due to the reduction in the price of Oi's shares, totalling R\$219 million;
  • A gain of Euro 58 million recorded directly in other comprehensive income, reflecting the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro between 5 May and 30 June 2014.

17. Investments in joint ventures

As at 31 December 2013, this caption corresponds to the investments in Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders that prior to 5 May 2014, as mentioned previously, were accounted for by the equity method of accounting, based on Portugal Telecom's 23.2% economic interest in Oi held prior to the Oi share capital increase.

As at 31 December 2013, the detail of Portugal Telecom's total investments in joint ventures was as follows:

Euro
2013
Oi 2,013,310,333
Financial Investment (i) 1,254,256,430
Goodwill 759,053,903
Contax 54,251,514
Financial investment 18,246,588
Goodwill 36,004,926
Telemar Participações (ii) 77,907,584
LF (iii) 120,551,271
AG (iii) 124,513,850
CTX 16,181,157
Other 1,531,151
2,408,246,860

(i) As at 31 December 2013, this financial investment reflects the Company's 15.4% direct interest in Oi's net assets amounting to Euro 8,162 million, the detail of which is presented below.

(ii) As at 31 December 2013, Portugal Telecom held a 12.1% direct interest in Telemar Participações. The investment in Telemar Participações reflected the 12.1% held its net assets composed by (1) this company's investment in Oi through a 18.8% direct interest, and (2) its outstanding gross debt totalling Euro 942 million.

(iii) As at 31 December 2013, Portugal Telecom held a 35% direct interest in both AG and LF. The investments in these companies reflected the 35% share in its net assets composed by (1) their investments in Telemar Participações through a 19.4% direct interest each and in Oi through a 4.25% direct interest each, and (2) their outstanding gross debt, amounting to Euro 196 million for AG and Euro 199 million for LF.

Oi's net assets presented below are adjusted to reflect the effects of the purchase price allocation performed by Portugal Telecom in connection with the acquisition of this investment as well as other adjustments to conform with the Group accounting policies. The detail of Oi's net assets as at 31 December 2013 is as follows:

Euro
2013
Cash and cash equivalents 762,768,814
Short-term investments 163,210,160
Current accounts receivable 3,050,513,483

Current judicial deposits 404,055,634
Goodwill 22,692,638
Tangible assets 8,011,567,784
Intangible assets 8,284,614,390

Total assets 27,446,693,688
Short-term debt 1,075,578,550
Current accounts payable 847,752,589
Current accrued expenses 1,014,419,828
Current taxes payable 841,981,404

Other 1,687,211,722
Total liabilities 19,285,000,057
Total net assets 8,161,693,631

Equity in losses of joint ventures, recognized in accordance with the equity method of accounting, amounted to Euro 38 million in the four months period ended 30 April 2014 and Euro 60 million in the six months period ended 30 June 2013. The reduction in these losses reflects mainly (1) a capital gain recorded by Oi in the first quarter of 2014 relating to the disposal of mobile telecommunication towers, amounting to R\$ 1,247 million (equivalent to approximately Euro 60 million corresponding to Portugal Telecom's share, net of taxes), and (2) lower interest expenses from Oi's controlling shareholders, which in 2014 relate to only four months as compared to six months in 2013. These effects were partially offset by higher interest costs, higher net other financial expenses and lower revenues at Oi.

18. Tangible and Intangible Assets, including Goodwill

Euro
30 June 2014 31 Dec 2013
Tangible assets 190,404 3,438,479,384
Intangible assets - 717,703,676
Goodwill - 380,616,265
190,404 4,536,799,325

The decrease of Euro 4,537 million in total tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill, reflects primarily:

  • Capital expenditures of discontinued operations between 1 January and 5 May 2014, amounting to Euro 130 million;
  • Depreciation and amortization costs of discontinued operations between 1 January and 5 May 2014, amounting to Euro 231 million;
  • The carrying value of total tangible and intangible assets (including goodwill) of discontinued operations as at 5 May 2014, amounting to Euro 4,433 million, which were transferred to Oi under its share capital increase (Note 1).

19. Post retirement benefits

As at 31 December 2013, the projected post retirement benefits obligations, which relate to pension complements and healthcare benefits, totaled Euro 494 million and the fair value of plan assets amounted to Euro 386 million. In addition, Portugal Telecom had liabilities with salaries payable to suspended and pre-retired employees amounting to Euro 852 million, resulting in net benefits obligations of Euro 959 million as at 31 December 2013.

These obligations were transferred to Oi in connection with its share capital increase and amounted to Euro 871 million as at 5 May 2014, a reduction of Euro 88 million compared to the balance as at 31 December 2013, reflecting payments of salaries to suspended and pre-retired employees (Euro 50 million), payments of healthcare expenses (Euro 7 million) and net actuarial gains recorded in the period (Euro 28 million), partially offset by post retirement benefits costs amounting to Euro 7 million. Net actuarial gains reflected the difference between the actual and estimated return on plan assets.

20. Debt

As at 30 June 2014 and 31 December 2013, this caption consists of:

Euro
31 Dec 2013
Long-term

4,731,260,092

175,039,738
-
-
23,579,646
-
5,879,161,433

The reduction in this caption reflects:

  • An increase in the outstanding amount due under commercial paper programmes during the period between 1 January and 5 May 2014;
  • The total gross debt amounting to Euro 8,051 million that was contributed to Oi on 5 May 2014 as part of PT Assets in connection with Oi's share capital increase subscribed by Portugal Telecom;
  • The repayment of the liability related to equity swaps on treasury shares following the physical exercise of these contracts on 7 May 2014, through cash that remained at Portugal Telecom after the Oi share capital increased for that purpose. Following this repayment, Portugal Telecom holds directly 20,640,000 of its own shares and as a result recorded a nondistributable reserve for the acquisition cost of those shares, amounting to Euro 178,071,827.

21. Provisions

As at 30 June 2014, this caption corresponds mainly to provisions for income tax contingencies. The reduction compared to 31 December 2013 reflects the provisions from discontinued operations as at 5 May 2014 (Euro 54 million) that were transferred to Oi in connection with its share capital increase.

22. Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

(a) Short-term financial applications

These captions include basically cash payments related to new short-term financial applications entered into and cash receipts from the short-term applications matured. Net cash receipts amounted to Euro 187,994,255 in the six months period ended 30 June 2014 , compared to net cash payments of Euro 45,913,156 in the same period of last year. In the first half of 2014, net cash receipts relate mainly to the settlement of outstanding applications by Bratel Brasil up to 5 May 2014, when it used the proceeds from these applications together with the proceeds from a share capital increase realised by Bratel BV to subscribe a portion of the convertible debentures issued by certain entities that directly or indirectly control AG and LF, as mentioned in Note 1.

(b) Cash receipts resulting from dividends received

This caption corresponds to dividends received from Oi in the six months period ended 30 June 2013.

(c) Payments resulting from financial investments

This caption corresponds to the total amount of R\$ 4,788 million (Euro 1,555 million) paid by Bratel Brasil and PTB2 to subscribe debentures convertible into shares of certain companies that directly or indirectly control AG and LF, the proceeds of which were ultimately used by AG and LF to repay its indebtness and to subscribe convertible debentures to be issued by Telemar Participações, that also used the related proceeds to repay its own indebtness, as explained in more detail in Note 1.

(d) Change in cash and cash equivalents from discontinued operations

In the six-month periods ended 30 June 2014 and 2013, the composition of this caption is as follows:

Euro
1H14 1H13
Operating activities 145,752,202 444,404,606
Investing activities (241,193,564) (191,617,334)
Financing activities 467,018,223 (227,601,348)
371,576,861 25,185,924

Cash flows from discontinuing operations in the six-month period ended 30 June 2014 correspond mainly to the cash flows up to 5 May 2014 from the businesses discontinued and contributed to the Oi share capital increase on that date, as compared to cash flows for a six months period in 2013, which explains the lower cash flows from operating activities.

The increase in cash flows from investing activities reflect the proceeds received in June 2013 in connection with the sale of the equity investment in CTM (Euro 336 million), as referred to in Note 12, partially offset by lower payments resulting from capital expenditures reflecting the decreased investments as a result of strong investments in past years, both on FTTH and 4G-LTE networks.

The change in cash flows from financing activities reflects mainly the cash proceeds resulting from the increase in outstanding commercial paper due, as mentioned in Note 20, while in the same period of last year total gross debt remained broadly stable.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period

As at 30 June 2014 and 31 December 2013, the composition of this caption is as follows:

Euro
30 Jun 2014 31 Dec 2013
Cash 2,000 10,526,405
Demand deposits 353,452 94,713,210

Other bank deposits 3,284,415 98,225,124
109,694,867 1,658,950,514

(i) As at 30 June 2014, time deposits were recorded at Portugal Telecom and deposited in Banco Espírito Santo. In July 2014, Portugal Telecom used the proceeds from these time deposits to constitute new ones in different financial institutions (Note 23.b).

23. Related parties and Shareholders

  • During the six months period ended 30 June 2014, key members of Portugal Telecom's management received fixed and variable remunerations amounting to Euro 1.0 million and Euro 0.3 million, respectively.

24. Subsequent events

On 16 July 2014, following the non-repayment by Rioforte of the Euro 847 million treasury applications (the remaining Euro 50 million were also not repaid on 17 July 2014) subscribed by the PT Portugal and its subsidiaries on the respective maturity dates, Portugal Telecom and Oi announced that they remained committed to the full completion of their business combination and have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU"). On 28 July 2014, Portugal Telecom and Oi reached an agreement on the final terms of the key contracts following the MoU. The execution of the definitive documentation is subject to approval by the General Shareholders Meeting of Portugal Telecom (scheduled for 8 September 2014), the Board of Directors of Oi and Comissão de Valores Mobiliários in Brazil. The documentation establishes that:

  • Portugal Telecom will exchange ("Exchange") with Oi the Euro 897 million treasury applications in Rio Forte Investments for 16.9% of Oi share capital, represented by 474,348,720 Oi ON shares plus 948,697,440 Oi PN shares (the "Oi Call Shares");
  • Portugal Telecom will be granted a non-transferrable American-type call ("Call") to repurchase the Oi Call Shares (strike prices of R\$2.0104 ON and R\$1.8529 PN), which will be adjusted by the Brazilian CDI rate plus 1.5% per year;
  • The Call on the Oi Call Shares will become effective on the date of the Exchange, will have a 6-year maturity, and the Oi Call Shares that Portugal Telecom has the right to call will be reduced by 10% at the end of the 1st year and by 18% per year thereafter;

  • Any proceeds received as a result of a monetization of the Call through the issuance of derivatives or back to back instruments must be used to exercise the Call;

  • Portugal Telecom can only acquire Oi or CorpCo shares through the exercise of the Call;
  • The Call would be cancelled should (i) Portugal Telecom's bylaws be voluntarily amended to remove the 10% voting limitation, (ii) Portugal Telecom act as a competitor to Oi, or (iii) Portugal Telecom breach certain obligations under the definitive documentation; and
  • The contracts will be executed as soon as all corporate approvals have been obtained and the Exchange is subject to the approval of Comissão de Valores Mobiliários in Brazil and should be executed on or before March 2015.

The terms of the agreements to be submitted by the Board to the General Shareholders Meeting will also include an agreed alternative structure to the incorporation of Portugal Telecom into CorpCo, as previously announced, aimed at achieving the following objectives:

  • Allow for the merger of Oi and CorpCo and migration to the Novo Mercado to be implemented as soon as possible, with the listing of CorpCo on BM&F Bovespa, Euronext Lisboa and NYSE;
  • Subject to shareholder approval at a General Shareholders Meeting to be specifically convened for such purpose, Portugal Telecom shareholders will receive all shares of CorpCo held by Portugal Telecom, corresponding to the ownership interest in CorpCo of 25.6%, adjusted for the treasury shares resulting from the execution of the Exchange, and prior to any exercise of the Call; and
  • Portugal Telecom to remain listed with the interest in the Rioforte debt and the Call as its only material asset.

Since 30 June 2014, the price of Oi's shares experienced a significant reduction. As of 27 August 2014, the price of Oi's ordinary and preferred shares was R\$1.49 and R\$1.43, respectively, and as a result the Company's investment as of that date amounted to Euro 1,637 million.
