Buenos Aires, March 12, 2019

 

Chairman of the Comisión Nacional de Valores

Lic. Marcos Ayerra

 

RE.: Report of complaint in re. “ADUC C/ Telecom Argentina S.A. according to Knowledge proceeding” (Docket No.: 6570/2017).

 

Dear Sirs,

 

I am writing you in my capacity as Attorney in Fact of Telecom Argentina S.A. (“Telecom Argentina” or the “Company”), to inform you that the Company was notified of the claim filed in the case indicated above, pending before the Lower National Administrative Contentious Court No. 2, Secretariat No. 3.

 

The complaint filed by the Association for the Defense of Users and Consumers (“ADUC”) is seeking, in summary, regarding the fixed telephony service, that the Company “refrain from applying the new rates established illegally, and return the adjustments already received during the years 2016 and 2017, with additional interests and costs ”. Likewise, ADUC requests “that the defendant arbitrates the necessary means to hold a Public Hearing  BEFORE ANY INCREASE IN THE CURRENT TARIFF SCHEME PRIOR TO THE FIRST INCREASE MATERIALIZED WITHOUT PUBLIC HEARING.”, requiring finally that “the civil penalty that it considers to be in favor of the affected consumers be applied” in accordance with Art. 52 bis of Law 24,240.

 

The filed complaint is for an undetermined amount.

 

The Company, with the assistance of its legal counselors, will respond in a timely manner to the lawsuit filed, rejecting it and upholding the absence of rules within the current regulatory legal framework applicable to the fixed telephony service, which impose the obligation of holding prior public hearings.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

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