<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Dear Sirs,</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;">I am writing to you in my capacity as Attorney in fact of Telecom Argentina S.A. (&#147;Telecom Argentina&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;), in order to inform that my represented, in its character of surviving company of the merger with Telecom Personal S.A. (&#147;Telecom Personal&#148;), has been notified of the complaints indicated in the reference, initiated by Task Solutions S.A. (&#147;Task&#148;), in proceeding before the Lower National Court in Commercial No.&nbsp;30, Secretariat No.&nbsp;59</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;">Through the aforementioned complaints, Task claims, in summary, damages that it alleges to have suffered during the validity of the contracts for the provision of contact center services with Telecom Argentina and Telecom Personal, as well as for the failure to renew said contracts at the end of their term. The amount claimed from Telecom Argentina is Ps.81,744,367 and from Telecom Personal is Ps.326,977,468.</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;">The Company answered both complaints rejecting the damages claimed, counterclaimed for labor items already paid by Telecom Argentina and Telecom Personal and with the assistance of its legal counselors will exercise the defense of its interests within the framework of these actions, because it understands that the amounts claimed don&#146;t have factual and/or legal support.</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;">Likewise, allowances deemed sufficient to cover the risks derived from these lawsuits will be constituted, taking into account available arguments and jurisprudential precedents.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
