Ref: Resignation of a Director.
Incorporation of an Alternate Director as Director
of the Board of Directors and member of the Audit Committee.
Appointment of an Alternate Director
Appointment of a new Corporate General Director
Dear Sirs,
I am Responsible for Market Relations of Telecom Argentina S.A. (“Telecom Argentina” or the “Company”) and am writing to hereby inform you that today Mr. Raúl Antonio Miranda submitted his resignation as director to the Board of Directors of the Company, in order to pursue new professional and academic activities that would make it difficult for him to fulfill his duties in the Company.
The Board of Directors of the Company, at a meeting held today, has accepted the resignation of Mr. Miranda and decided to appoint the alternate director Mr. Esteban Gabriel Macek as director. Mr. Macek qualifies as an “independent director” and will also replace Mr. Miranda as a member of the Audit Committee.
In addition, under section 258, second paragraph of the Corporate Law, the Supervisory Committee was requested to appoint an alternate director in order to fill a vacant position. The members of the Supervisory Committee have appointed Mr. Pablo Alberto Gutiérrez, who also qualifies as an “independent director” under the criteria of the Comisión Nacional de Valores, and will serve until the next Shareholders’ Meeting.
Finally, Mr. Guillermo Pedro Gully has been appointed as interim Corporate General Director of the Telecom Argentina Group, replacing Mr. Carlos Felices who will no longer hold such position in order to dedicate himself exclusively to his duties as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Telecom Argentina.
The relevant parts of the Minutes of the Meetings of the Board of Directors No 224 and of the Supervisory Committee No 102, associated to the abovementioned matter, have been attached to this letter.
Very truly yours,
Lic. Pedro Gastón Insussarry
Responsible for Market Relations
