SCL-T/C-20120327-00005 P Brasil Telecom of America Inc. Transfer of Control Grant of Authority Date of Action: 05/23/2012 Current Licensee: Brasil Telecom of America Inc. FROM: Telemar Norte Leste S.A. TO: Oi S.A. Notification filed March 27, 2012, of the pro forma transfer of control of the cable landing license for the GlobeNet cable system, SCL-LIC-19990602-00010, SCL-MOD-20030701-00022, held by Brasil Telecom of America Inc. (GlobeNet), from Telemar Norte Leste S.A. (TMAR) to Oi S.A., effective February 27, 2012. The GlobeNet cable system links two cable landing stations on the east coast of the United States with cable landing stations in Bermuda, Venezuela and Brazil. GlobeNet is controlled by Telemar Participacoes S.A. (TmarPart) through a series of subsidiaries. In a reorganization to simplify the corporate structure, newly issued shares of one of TmarPart's subsidiaries, Coari Participacoes S.A. (Coari), were exchanged for outstanding shares issued by TMAR. At the same time, Coari and another subsidiary, Tele Norte Leste Participacoes S.A., were merged into a third subsidiary, Brasil Telecom S.A., which was subsequently renamed Oi S.A. As a result, TmarPart has a direct, controlling interest in Oi S.A., and TMAR and GlobeNet are direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Oi S.A., respectively. Shares of Oi S.A. are publicly listed on the BOVESPA market in Sao Paulo, Brazil and on the New York stock exchange. The corporate reorganization does not affect the ultimate control of GlobeNet by TmarPart. Page 2 of 2
