<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">I am writing to you in my capacity as Responsible for Market Relations of Telecom Argentina S.A. (&#147;Telecom Argentina&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;), to inform you that Telecom Argentina received a letter today, issued by Cablevisi&#243;n Holding S.A. (&#147;CVH&#148;) and Fintech Telecom LLC (&#147;Fintech Telecom&#148;) and delivered to the Company&#146;s headquarters, notifying us that, as of the date hereof, CVH has promoted and formulated a mandatory tender offer (&#147;OPA&#148;, by its Spanish acronym) for all Class&nbsp;B common shares issued by Telecom Argentina which are listed on the Buenos Aires Securities Market or <i>Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. </i>(&#147;BYMA&#148;) (including outstanding Class&nbsp;C common shares of Telecom Argentina that have been converted into Class&nbsp;B common shares before the stipulated term) due to having effectively obtained a controlling interest in the Company.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Separately, the Company was notified that, notwithstanding the fact that Fintech Telecom is not obligated to promote, formulate or launch an OPA, in accordance with the Telecom Argentina shareholders agreement, Fintech Telecom with CVH has undertaken to pay and acquire 50% of the shares to be acquired in the OPA (notwithstanding the right of CVH to acquire by itself the first 43,073,760 Class&nbsp;B common shares), which is why Fintech Telecom will jointly participate with CVH as a co-offeror of the OPA, within the scope set forth in the announcement of the OPA (the &#147;Announcement of the OPA&#148;).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant to applicable rules&nbsp;and regulations, the OPA shall be effective for a general term of 20 business days (the &#147;General Term&#148;) plus an additional 5 business day-period (the &#147;Additional Term&#148;). The start date of the General Term will be announced through a new announcement by this means once the authorization by the CNV for the commencement of the Offer Period has been obtained and all other essential requirements to which the execution of the OPA is subject to have been effectively fulfilled. Upon the expiration of the General Term, the Additional Term will be granted, which shall be 5 business days from the date of the expiration of the General Term, so that any such shareholders who may have not tendered its Shares under the OPA during the General Term may do so within the Additional Term (the date of expiration of the Additional Term, referred to as the &#147;Term Expiration Date&#148;). The Offeror may extend the General Term and/or the Additional Term pursuant to applicable rules&nbsp;(in which case the &#147;Term Expiration Date&#148; shall be such date on which the Additional Term after the extended General Term and/or extended Additional Term, shall have expired). The &#147;Offer Period&#148; shall be the period between the beginning of the General Term and the Term Expiration Date. Upon expiration of the Additional Term (considering any extension thereof pursuant to the foregoing sentence, if any), the OPA shall expire and no further acceptance shall be valid under the OPA. The OPA shall be voluntarily accepted by shareholders and shall cover all Shares other than those held by the Offerors on the Term Expiration Date, and the Offerors&#146; obligations under the OPA are not conditioned to any maximum or minimum amount or percentage of Shares. Accepting shareholders shall comply with all such steps as shall be set forth in the Prospectus in order to evidence their acceptance and submit all and any documents to the Agent of the OPA as are therein described.</font></p>
