Corporate Taxpayer's Registry (CNPJ/ME) No. 76.535.764/0001-43 Board of Trade (NIRE) No. 33.30029520-8 Publicly-Held Company
Oi S.A. – In Judicial Reorganization ("Oi" or the "Company"), in accordance with article 157, paragraph 4, of Law No. 6,404/76 and the provisions of CVM Instruction No. 358/02, and in addition to the Material Facts disclosed on July 28, 2020, August 7, 2020 and August 13, 2020, hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that, upon completion of negotiations held between the Company and Telefônica Brasil S.A., TIM S.A. and Claro S.A. (the "Tenderers") about the main terms of the sale of Oi's and its subsidiaries' mobile telephony business ("Mobile Assets UPI" and the "Oi Companies", respectively), the Company accepted, on this date, the revised binding offer made jointly by the Tenderers (the "Binding Offer").
According to the Binding Offer, subject to certain conditions, the Tenderers undertook to acquire the Mobile Assets UPI in case they win the competitive process pursuant to Law No. 11,101/2005 (the Brazilian Reorganization and Bankruptcy Statute, or the "LRF") for the amount of R\$ 16,500,000,000.00, of which R\$ 756,000,000.00 refer to transition services to be provided to the Tenderers by Oi for up to 12 months, in addition to the commitment to enter into long-term agreements with Oi for the performance of services of transmission capacity, under "take or pay" modality, the net present value (NPV) of which, calculated for the purposes of and pursuant to the Amendment to the Judicial Reorganization Plan (the "Amendment to the JRP"), is R\$ 819 million.
As a result, the Tenderers will be qualified to participate in the competitive process for the sale of the Mobile Assets UPI, with their Binding Offer as stalking horse bid, which shall be reflected in the proposed Amendment to the JRP, to be resolved upon at the General Creditors' Meeting convened for September 8, 2020 (the "GCM"). The Tenderers shall also be entitled to, at their sole discretion, make an offer higher than the highest amount that may be offered in the referred competitive process ("Right to Top" and the "Highest Bid"), provided that the Tenderers' new offer is at least 1% higher than the amount equivalent to the sum (a) of the amount offered to be paid in cash, and (b) the net present value (NPV) of the long-term agreements for the performance of capacity services, both included in the Highest Bid.
The Binding Offer is aligned with the implementation of the Strategic Plan for the transformation of the Oi Companies' operations, which provides for the disposition of the Mobile Assets UPI through a competitive process pursuant to the LRF, to be carried out after the approval of the Amendment to the JRP at a General Creditors' Meeting and its subsequent ratification by the 7 th Corporate Court of Rio de Janeiro. Oi reiterates its commitment to comply with its Strategic Plan and to focus on becoming the largest provider of telecommunications infrastructure in Brazil by expanding fiber optics and high-speed internet, offering businesses solutions and infrastructure to enable the evolution to 5G, with a focus on businesses with greater value-added, growth prospects and a vision for the future.
The Company will keep its shareholders and the market informed of any development regarding the subject matter of this Material Fact.
