RE.: Report of complaint in the case entitled “Association for the Defense of Users and Consumers a/Cablevisión S.A. according to summary proceeding” (Expte 4010/2017).

 

Dear Sirs,

 

I am writing you in my capacity as Attorney in Fact of Telecom Argentina S.A. (“Telecom Argentina” or the “Company”), in order to inform that my represented, in its character of surviving company of the merger with Cablevisión S.A., has answered the complaint indicated in the reference, initiated by the “Association for the Defense of Users and Consumers” (“ADUC”), in proceeding before the Lower National Court in Commercial No. 31, Secretariat No. 61.

 

The complaint filed by ADUC demands, in summary,  in relation to the cable and internet services: 1) the cessation of conduct that impedes customers from terminating internet and cable services at the time of the request; 2) the reimbursement to each of the users the amounts collected for the period of 5 years and until the date on which the cessation of the aforementioned conduct takes place; 3) the imposition of punitive damages on the Company for each of the affected customers.

 

The aforementioned claim is for an undetermined amount.

 

The Company has opposed exceptions of prescription and lack of standing of the ADUC and has maintained the non-existence of an infringement of the Consumer Defense Law.

 

The Company, with the assistance of its legal counselors, will continue to exercise the defense of its interests within the framework of this action.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

	Telecom Argentina S.A.
	/s/ Andrea V. Cerdán
	Attorney in Fact
