Dear Sirs,

 

RE.:Information in Compliance with Title XII, Chapter I, Articles 2 and 3 and Title II, Chapter III, Article 15 of the Rules of the Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV) (New Text 2013)

 

I am writing to you as Chairman of Telecom Argentina S.A (‘Telecom Argentina’ or the ‘Company’) in order to inform you the following:

 

1.As duly notified on last December 9th, on such date, were received the resignation letters of directors Mrs. Mariana Laura González, Mr. Federico Horacio Gosman and Mr. Esteban Ariel Santa Cruz and the alternate directors Mrs. Verónica Daniela Álvarez, Mr. Juan Massolo and Mr. Eduardo Pablo Guillermo Setti, all of them being appointed by the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting held on April 23 of 2013 and to hold office for three fiscal years.

 

2.At a meeting held today, Telecom Argentina's Board of Directors accepted the resignation submitted by the directors and their alternates mentioned above, considering that they are based on strictly personal reasons, and that they are not malicious, untimely or affect the normal functioning of the Board.

 

3.While the resigning regular director Mr. Federico Horacio Gosman was also serving as a member of the Audit Committee of the Company, the Board decided as well to appoint as his replacement the director Enrique Llerena as a member of the Audit Committee of Telecom Argentina, from this date and until the celebration of the Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting which will consider the documentation for the fiscal year 2015.

 

4.Mr. Enrique Llerena qualifies as "independent director" for the Rules of the Comisión Nacional de Valores as well as for the Rules of the Securities & Exchange Commission of the United States.

 

Sincerely,

 

Telecom Argentina S.A.
 

/s/ Oscar C. Cristianci 

Chairman
