CAUTIONARY STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are set forth under “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors,” “Item 4. Information on the Company” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our 2018 Annual Report. Some of the matters discussed concerning our business operations and financial performance include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or that include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, these statements are subject to several risks and uncertainties and are made in light of information currently available to us. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, investors should not base their decisions to invest in this offering on these estimates or forward-looking statements.

Many important factors could cause our actual results to differ substantially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements, including, among other things:

 

   

material adverse changes in economic conditions in Brazil or the other countries in which we have operations and investments;

 

   

the Brazilian government’s telecommunications policies that affect the telecommunications industry and our business in Brazil in general, including issues relating to the remuneration for the use of our network in Brazil, and changes in or developments of ANATEL regulations applicable to us;

 

   

the cost and availability of financing;

 

   

any judicial action that overturns or modifies the Brazilian Confirmation Order or declares the RJ Debtors bankrupt under Brazilian law and requires their liquidation;

 

   

the effects of intense competition in Brazil and the other countries in which we have operations and investments;

 

   

the general level of demand for, and changes in the market prices of, our services;

 

   

our ability to implement our corporate strategies in order to expand our customer base and increase our average revenue per user;

 

   

political, regulatory and economic conditions in Brazil, notably with respect to inflation, exchange rate fluctuation of the real, interest rates fluctuation and the political environment in Brazil;

 

   

the outcomes of legal and administrative proceedings to which we are or become a party;

 

   

changes in telecommunications technology that could require substantial or unexpected investments in infrastructure or that could lead to changes in our customers’ behavior;

 

   

the disposal of our international investments; and

 

   

other factors identified or discussed under “Item 3. Key Information––Risk Factors” of our 2018 Annual Report.

Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results or other developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. As for forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, forecasts and projections. Because of these uncertainties, potential investors should not rely on these forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

This prospectus covers the offering of up to 1,405,675,930 Common Shares represented by 281,135,186 Common ADSs by the selling shareholders identified in the table below. The selling shareholders are entities that have acquired Common ADSs from us under the Commitment Agreement. This prospectus and any prospectus supplement will only permit the selling shareholders to sell Common ADSs representing Common Shares identified in the column “Number of Common Shares Offered Hereby.”

The selling shareholders may, from time to time, offer and sell the Common ADSs acquired from us under the Commitment Agreement pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. The selling shareholders may offer all or some portion of the Common ADSs they hold, but only Common ADSs that are currently outstanding and represent Common Shares included in the “Number of Common Shares Offered Hereby” column, may be sold pursuant to this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement. We do not know how long the selling shareholders will hold the Common Shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling shareholders regarding the sale of any of the Common Shares.

The Common Shares represented by the Common ADSs issued to the selling shareholders under the Commitment Agreement are “restricted” shares under applicable federal and state securities laws and are being registered to give the selling shareholders the opportunity to sell these Common ADSs. The registration of such Common Shares does not necessarily mean, however, that any of the Common ADSs representing these Common Shares will be offered or sold by the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may from time to time offer and sell all or a portion of their Common ADSs over the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices.

Each of the selling shareholders reserves the sole right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Common ADSs represented by the registered Common Shares to be made directly or through broker-dealers or agents. To the extent that any of the selling shareholders are brokers or dealers, they may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the Common ADSs represented by the registered Common Shares may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. As of the date of this prospectus, based on the representations received by Oi from the selling shareholders, none of the selling shareholders are brokers or dealers or, except as set forth below, affiliated with brokers or dealers.

Each of the Canyon Funds (as defined below) and Canyon Blue Credit Investment Fund L.P. is currently a party to an investment advisory agreement (or similarly titled agreement) with Canyon Capital Advisors LLC (“Canyon”) pursuant to which Canyon is granted discretionary rights, power and authority to manage, and vote with respect to certain of, the investments of the Canyon Funds and Canyon Blue Credit Investment Fund L.P., including the investments of each Canyon Fund and Canyon Blue Credit Investment Fund L.P. in the Common Shares. Canyon is an affiliate of CP Investments LLC, a registered broker-dealer. At the time of the purchase of the Common Shares offered hereby, neither Canyon nor any of the Canyon Funds had any agreements, plans or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the offered Common Shares.

DESCRIPTION OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES

The following is a summary of the material provisions of the deposit agreement, which we refer to as the ADS Deposit Agreement, pursuant to which the Common ADSs are to be issued. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the ADS Deposit Agreement, including the form of American Depositary Receipt, or ADR, attached thereto. A copy of the ADS Deposit Agreement is on file with the SEC under cover of a Registration Statement on Form F-6. You may obtain a copy of the ADS Deposit Agreement from the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) or from the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please refer to Registration Number 333-195520 when retrieving such copy. Copies of the ADS Deposit Agreement are also available for inspection at the corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon, the ADS Depositary, currently located at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286, and at the office of Itaú Unibanco S.A., the ADS Custodian, currently located at Rua Ururaí, 111, Prédio B, Piso Térreo, Tatuapé, 03084-101, São Paulo, SP Brazil. The ADS Depositary’s principal executive office is also located at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286.

General

The Bank of New York Mellon, as the ADS Depositary, registers and delivers Common ADSs. Each Common ADS represents five Common Shares (or a right to receive five Common Shares), deposited with the principal São Paulo office of Itaú Unibanco S.A., as the ADS Custodian. Each Common ADS also represents any other securities, cash or other property which may be held by the ADS Depositary under the ADS Deposit Agreement.

You may hold Common ADSs either (A) directly (i) by having an ADR, which is a certificate evidencing a specific number of Common ADSs, registered in your name, or (ii) by having Common ADSs registered in your name in the Direct Registration System, or DRS, or (B) indirectly by holding a security entitlement in Common ADSs through your broker or other financial institution. If you hold Common ADSs directly, you are a registered Common ADS holder, also referred to as an Common ADS Holder. This description assumes you are a Common ADS Holder. If you hold Common ADSs indirectly, you must rely on the procedures of your broker or other financial institution to assert the rights of Common ADS Holders described in this section. You should consult with their broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures are.

DRS is a system administered by The Depository Trust Company, also referred to as DTC, pursuant to which the ADS Depositary may register the ownership of uncertificated Common ADSs, which ownership shall be confirmed by periodic statements sent by the ADS Depositary to the registered holders of uncertificated Common ADSs.

As a Common ADS holder, Oi will not treat you as one of its shareholders, and you will therefore not have shareholder rights established by Brazilian law and by Oi’s bylaws. Since the ADS Depositary is the registered holder of all Common Shares underlying the Common ADSs, the ADS Depositary will be treated as Oi’s shareholder. The ADS Deposit Agreement among Oi, the ADS Depositary and all holders of Oi’s Common ADSs, sets forth the rights of all Common ADS Holders, as well as the rights and obligations of the ADS Depositary. New York law governs the ADS Deposit Agreement and the Common ADSs. The following is a summary of the material provisions of the ADS deposit Agreement. For more complete information, you should read the entire ADS Deposit Agreement and the form of ADR relating to the Common ADSs.

Fees and Expenses

Persons depositing or withdrawing Common Shares must pay:

 

   

US$5.00 (or less) per 100 Common ADSs (or portion of 100 Common ADSs) for the issuance of Common ADSs, including issuances resulting from a distribution of Common Shares or rights or other property;

 

12


Table of Contents
   

US$5.00 (or less) per 100 Common ADSs (or portion of 100 Common ADSs) for the cancellation of Common ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal, including in the event of the termination of the ADS Deposit Agreement;

 

   

US$0.02 (or less) per Common ADS (or portion thereof) for any cash distribution;

 

   

US$0.02 (or less) per Common ADS (or portion thereof) per calendar year for depositary services;

 

   

in the event of distributions of securities (other than Common Shares), a fee equivalent to the fee for the issuance of Common ADSs referred to above, which would have been charged, as a result of the deposit of such securities (treating such securities as Common Shares);

 

   

registration or transfer fees for the transfer and registration of Common Shares on Oi’s share register to or from the name of the ADS Depositary or its agent when you deposit or withdraw Common Shares;

 

   

charges of the ADS Depositary for (1) cable, telex and facsimile transmissions (when expressly provided in the ADS Deposit Agreement), and (2) expenses of converting foreign currency to U.S. dollars;

 

   

taxes and other governmental charges the ADS Depositary or the ADS Custodian have to pay on any Common ADS or Common Share underlying a Common ADS, for example, stock transfer taxes, stamp duty or withholding taxes, as necessary; and

 

   

any charges incurred by the ADS Depositary or its agents for servicing the deposited securities, as necessary

The ADS Depositary collects its fees for the delivery and surrender of Common ADSs directly from investors depositing Common Shares or surrendering Common ADSs or from intermediaries acting for them. The ADS Depositary also collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The ADS Depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deductions from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The ADS Depositary may collect any of its fees by deduction from any cash distribution payable to Common ADS Holders that are obligated to pay those fees. The ADS Depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.

From time to time, the ADS Depositary may make payments to Oi to reimburse and / or share revenue from the fees collected from Common ADS Holders, or waive fees and expenses for services provided, generally relating to costs and expenses arising out of the establishment and maintenance of the Common ADS program. In performing its duties under the ADS Deposit Agreement, the ADS Depositary may use brokers, dealers or other service providers that are affiliates of the ADS Depositary and that may earn or share fees or commissions.

The ADS Depositary may convert currency itself or through any of its affiliates and, in those cases, acts as principal for its own account and not as agent, advisor, broker or fiduciary on behalf of any other person and earns revenue, including, without limitation, transaction spreads, that it will retain for its own account. The revenue is based on, among other things, the difference between the exchange rate assigned to the currency conversion made under the ADS Deposit Agreement and the rate that the ADS Depositary or its affiliate receives when buying or selling foreign currency for its own account. The ADS Depositary makes no representation that the exchange rate used or obtained in any currency conversion under the ADS Deposit Agreement will be the most favorable rate that could be obtained at the time or that the method by which that rate will be determined will be the most favorable to Common ADS Holders, subject to the ADS Depositary’s obligations under the ADS Deposit Agreement. The methodology used to determine exchange rates used in currency conversions is available upon request.

Dividends and Other Distributions

 

   

How will Common ADS Holders receive dividends and other distributions on the Common Shares?

The ADS Depositary has agreed to pay to Common ADSs Holders the cash dividends or other distributions it or the ADS Custodian receives on Common Shares or other deposited securities, after deducting its fees and expenses. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of Common Shares your Common ADSs represent.

 

   

Cash. The ADS Depositary will convert any cash dividend or other cash distribution Oi pays on the Common Shares into U.S. dollars, if it can do so on a reasonable basis and can transfer the U.S. dollars to the United States. If that is not possible or if any government approval is needed and cannot be obtained, the ADS deposit Agreement allows the ADS Depositary to distribute the foreign currency only to those Common ADS Holders to whom it is possible to do so. It will hold the foreign currency it cannot convert for the account of the Common ADS Holders who have not been paid. It will not invest the foreign currency and it will not be liable for any interest.

Before making a distribution, any withholding taxes or other governmental charges that must be paid will be deducted. The ADS Depositary will distribute only whole U.S. dollars and cents and will round fractional cents to the nearest whole cent. If the real-to-dollar exchange rate fluctuates during a time when the ADS Depositary cannot convert the foreign currency, you may lose some or all of the value of the distribution.

 

   

Shares. The ADS Depositary may distribute additional Common ADSs representing any Common Shares Oi distributes as a dividend or free distribution. The ADS Depositary will only distribute whole Common ADSs. It will sell Common Shares which would require it to deliver a fractional Common ADS and distribute the net proceeds in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as if such amount were a cash dividend or other cash distribution. If the ADS Depositary does not distribute additional Common ADSs, the outstanding Common ADSs will also represent the Common Shares. The ADS Depositary may sell a portion of the distributed Common Shares sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that distribution.

 

   

Rights to Purchase Additional Shares. If Oi offers holders of its securities any rights to subscribe for additional Common Shares or any other rights, the ADS Depositary may make these rights available to Common ADS Holders. If the ADS Depositary decides it is not legal and practical to make the rights available but that it is practical to sell the rights, the ADS Depositary will use reasonable efforts to sell the rights and distribute the proceeds in the same way as it does with cash. The ADS Depositary will allow rights that are not distributed or sold to lapse. In that case, you will receive no value for them.

If the ADS Depositary makes rights available to Common ADS Holders, it will exercise the rights and purchase the Common Shares on your behalf. The ADS Depositary will then deposit the Common Shares and deliver Common ADSs to the persons entitled to them. It will only exercise rights if you pay it the exercise price and any other charges the rights require you to pay.

U.S. securities laws may restrict transfers and cancellation of the Common ADSs represented by Common Shares purchased upon exercise of rights. For example, you may not be able to trade these Common ADSs freely in the United States. In this case, the ADS Depositary may deliver restricted depositary Common Shares that have the same terms as the Common ADSs described in this section except for changes needed to put the necessary restrictions in place.

 

14


Table of Contents
   

Other Distributions. The ADS Depositary will send to Common ADS Holders anything else Oi distributes on deposited securities in any manner it may reasonably deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution. If in the opinion of the ADS Depositary such a distribution is deemed not to be feasible, the ADS Depositary may either sell the property Oi distributed and distribute the net proceeds in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as if such amount were a cash dividend or other cash distribution or it may hold the distributed property, in which case Common ADSs will also represent the newly distributed property. However, the ADS Depositary is not required to distribute any securities (other than Common ADSs) to Common ADS Holders unless it receives satisfactory evidence from Oi that it is legal to make that distribution. The ADS Depositary may sell a portion of the distributed securities or property sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that distribution.

The ADS Depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any Common ADS Holders. Oi has no obligation to register Common ADSs, Common Shares, rights or other securities under the Securities Act. Oi also has no obligation to take any other action to permit the distribution of Common ADSs, Common Shares, rights or anything else to ADS holders. This means that you may not receive the distributions Oi makes on Common Shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical for Oi to make them available to you.

Deposit, Withdrawal and Cancellation

How are Common ADSs issued?

The ADS Depositary will deliver Common ADSs if you or your broker deposits Common Shares or evidence of rights to receive Common Shares with the ADS Custodian. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the ADS Depositary will register the appropriate number of Common ADSs in the names you request and will deliver the Common ADSs to or upon the order of the person or persons that made the deposit.

How can Common ADS Holders withdraw the deposited securities?

Common ADSs Holders may surrender their Common ADSs at the ADS Depositary’s corporate trust office. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the ADS Depositary will deliver the Common Shares and any other deposited securities underlying the Common ADSs to the Common ADS Holder or a person the Common ADS Holder designates at the office of the ADS Custodian. Or, at your request, risk and expense, the ADS Depositary will deliver the deposited securities at its corporate trust office, if feasible.

Common ADS Holders have the right to cancel their Common ADSs and withdraw the underlying Common Shares at any time except:

 

   

when temporary delays arise because: (1) the ADS Depositary has closed its transfer books or Oi has closed its transfer books, (2) the transfer of Common Shares is blocked to permit voting at a shareholders’ meeting, or (3) Oi is paying a dividend on its Common Shares;

 

   

when you owe money to pay fees, taxes and similar charges; and

 

   

when it is necessary to prohibit withdrawals in order to comply with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations that apply to Common ADSs or to the withdrawal of Common Shares or other deposited securities.

This right of withdrawal may not be limited by any other provision of the ADS Deposit Agreement.

 

15


Table of Contents

How do Common ADS Holders interchange between certificated Common ADSs and uncertificated Common ADSs?

You may surrender your ADR to the ADS Depositary for the purpose of exchanging your ADR for uncertificated Common ADSs. The ADS Depositary will cancel that ADR and will send to the Common ADS Holder a statement confirming that the Common ADS Holder is the registered holder of uncertificated Common ADSs.

Upon receipt by the ADS Depositary of a proper instruction from a registered holder of uncertificated Common ADSs requesting the exchange of uncertificated Common ADSs for certificated Common ADSs, the ADS Depositary will execute and deliver to the Common ADS Holder an ADR evidencing those Common ADSs.

Voting Rights

How do you vote?

The Common Shares entitle their holders to vote on all matters presented to a vote of shareholders of Oi as set forth under “Description of Share Capital—Voting Rights.”

Common ADS Holders do not have voting rights but may instruct the ADS Depositary to vote the number of deposited Common Shares their Common ADSs represent. The ADS Depositary will notify Common ADS Holders of shareholders’ meetings and arrange to deliver Oi’s voting materials to them if Oi asks it to. Those materials will describe the matters to be voted on and explain how Common ADS Holders may instruct the ADS Depositary how to vote. For instructions to be valid, they must reach the ADS Depositary by a date set by the ADS Depositary.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to exercise your right to vote unless you withdraw the Common Shares. However, you may not know about the meeting enough in advance to withdraw the Common Shares.

The ADS Depositary will try, as far as practical, subject to the laws of Brazil and of Oi’s by-laws, to vote or to have its agents vote the Common Shares or other deposited securities as instructed by Common ADS Holders. The ADS Depositary will only vote or attempt to vote as instructed or as provided in the following sentence. If Oi requested the ADS Depositary to solicit your voting instructions at least 30 days before the meeting date but the ADS Depositary does not receive your instructions by the date it set, the ADS Depositary will consider you to have given instructions to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated Oi by with respect to the number of Common Shares your Common ADSs represent and the ADS Depositary will give that discretionary proxy, except that the ADS Depositary will not give a discretionary proxy if Oi informs the ADS Depositary that (i) Oi does not wish to receive it, (ii) substantial opposition to the question to be voted exists, or (iii) that matter would materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of Common Shares.

Oi cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct the ADS Depositary to vote the Common Shares represented by your Common ADSs. In addition, the ADS Depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for the manner of carrying out voting instructions. This means that you may not be able to exercise the right to vote the Common Shares represented by your Common ADSs and there may be nothing you can do if the Common Shares represented by your Common ADSs are not voted as you requested.

 

16


Table of Contents

In order to give you a reasonable opportunity to instruct the ADS Depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to deposited securities, if Oi requests the ADS Depositary to act, Oi agrees to give the ADS Depositary notice of any such meeting and details concerning the matters to be voted upon at least 30 days in advance of the meeting date.

Payment of Taxes

You will be responsible for any taxes or other governmental charges payable on your Common ADSs or on the deposited securities represented by any of your Common ADSs. The ADS Depositary may refuse to register any transfer of your Common ADSs or allow you to withdraw the deposited securities represented by your Common ADSs until such taxes or other charges are paid. The ADS Depositary may apply payments owed to you or sell deposited securities represented by your Common ADSs to pay any taxes owed and you will remain liable for any deficiency. If the ADS Depositary sells deposited securities represented by your Common ADSs, it will, if appropriate, reduce the number of Common ADSs held by you to reflect the sale and pay to you any proceeds, or send to you any property, remaining after it has paid the taxes.

Reclassifications, Recapitalizations and Mergers

 

If Oi:

   Then:

•   Changes the nominal or par value of the Common Shares

 

•   Reclassifies, splits up or consolidates any of the deposited securities

 

  

The cash, Common Shares or other securities received by the ADS Depositary will become deposited securities. Each Common ADS will automatically represent its equal share of the new deposited securities.

 

•   Distributes securities on the Common Shares that are not distributed to you

 

•   Recapitalizes, reorganizes, merges, liquidates, sells all or substantially all of its assets, or takes any similar action

   The ADS Depositary may, and will if Oi asks it to, distribute some or all of the cash, Common Shares or other securities it received. It may also deliver new ADRs or ask you to surrender your outstanding ADRs in exchange for new ADRs identifying the new deposited securities.

Amendment and Termination

How may the ADS Deposit Agreement be amended?

Oi may agree with the ADS Depositary to amend the ADS Deposit Agreement and the ADRs without your consent for any reason. If an amendment adds or increases fees or charges, except for taxes and other governmental charges or expenses of the ADS Depositary for registration fees, facsimile costs, delivery charges or similar items, or prejudices a substantial right of Common ADS Holders, it will not become effective for outstanding Common ADSs until 30 days after the ADS Depositary notifies Common ADS Holders of the amendment. At the time an amendment becomes effective, you are considered, by continuing to hold your Common ADSs, to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the ADRs and the ADS Deposit Agreement as amended.

How may the ADS Deposit Agreement be terminated?

The ADS Depositary will terminate the ADS Deposit Agreement at Oi’s direction by mailing notice of termination to the applicable Common ADS Holders then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination. The ADS Depositary may also terminate the ADS Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of termination to Oi and the applicable Common ADS Holders if 60 days have passed since the ADS Depositary told Oi it wants to resign but a successor ADS Depositary has not been appointed and accepted its appointment.

 

17


Table of Contents

The ADS Depositary may terminate the ADS Deposit Agreement on as little as 15 days’ notice if it believes it may be subject to legal liability because Oi failed to provide information required by Brazilian government regulators.

After termination, the ADS Depositary and its agents will do the following under the ADS Deposit Agreement but nothing else: collect distributions on the deposited securities, sell rights and other property, and deliver Common Shares and other deposited securities upon cancellation of Common ADSs. Four months after termination, the ADS Depositary may sell any remaining deposited securities by public or private sale. After that, the ADS Depositary will hold the money it received on the sale, as well as any other cash it is holding under the ADS Deposit Agreement for the pro rata benefit of the Common ADS Holders that have not surrendered their Common ADSs. It will not invest the money and has no liability for interest. The ADS Depositary’s only obligations will be to account for the money and other cash. After termination, Oi’s only obligations will be to indemnify the ADS Depositary and to pay fees and expenses of the ADS Depositary that Oi agreed to pay.

Limitations on Obligations and Liability

Limits on Oi’s Obligations and the Obligations of the ADS Depositary; Limits on Liability to Common ADS Holders

The ADS Deposit Agreement expressly limits Oi’s obligations and the obligations of the ADS Depositary. It also limits Oi’s liability and the liability of the ADS Depositary. Oi and the ADS Depositary:

are not liable if Oi is or it is prevented or delayed by law or circumstances beyond Oi’s control from performing Oi’s or its obligations under the ADS Deposit Agreement;

 

   

are not liable if Oi or it exercises discretion permitted under the ADS Deposit Agreement;

have no obligation to become involved in a lawsuit or other proceeding related to the Common ADSs or the ADS Deposit Agreement on your behalf or on behalf of any other person;

 

   

are not liable for the acts or omissions of any securities depositary, clearing agency or settlement system; and

 

   

may rely upon any documents Oi believes or it believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person.

In the ADS Deposit Agreement, Oi and the ADS Depositary agree to indemnify each other under certain circumstances.

Requirements for Depositary Actions

Before the ADS Depositary will deliver or register a transfer of a Common ADS, make a distribution on a Common ADS, or permit withdrawal of Common Shares, the ADS Depositary may require:

 

   

payment of stock transfer or other taxes or other governmental charges and transfer or registration fees charged by third parties for the transfer of any Common Shares or other deposited securities;

 

   

satisfactory proof of the identity and genuineness of any signature or other information it deems necessary; and

 

18


Table of Contents
   

compliance with regulations it may establish, from time to time, consistent with the ADS Deposit Agreement, including presentation of transfer documents.

The ADS Depositary may refuse to deliver Common ADSs or register transfers of Common ADSs generally when the transfer books of the ADS Depositary or Oi’s transfer books are closed or at any time if the ADS Depositary or Oi thinks it advisable to do so.

Direct Registration System

In the ADS Deposit Agreement, all parties to the ADS Deposit Agreement acknowledge that the DRS and Profile Modification System, or Profile, will apply to uncertificated Common ADSs upon acceptance thereof to DRS by DTC. DRS is the system administered by DTC pursuant to which the ADS Depositary may register the ownership of uncertificated Common ADSs, which ownership shall be evidenced by periodic statements sent by the ADS Depositary to the registered holders of uncertificated Common ADSs. Profile is a required feature of DRS which allows a DTC participant, claiming to act on behalf of a registered Common ADS Holder, to direct the ADS Depositary to register a transfer of those Common ADSs to DTC or its nominee and to deliver those Common ADSs to the DTC account of that DTC participant without receipt by the ADS Depositary of prior authorization from the Common ADS Holder to register that transfer.

In connection with and in accordance with the arrangements and procedures relating to DRS/Profile, the parties to the ADS Deposit Agreement understand that the ADS Depositary will not verify, determine or otherwise ascertain that the DTC participant which is claiming to be acting on behalf of a Common ADS Holder in requesting registration of transfer and delivery described in the paragraph above has the actual authority to act on behalf of the Common ADS Holder (notwithstanding any requirements under the Uniform Commercial Code). In the ADS Deposit Agreement, the parties agree that the ADS Depositary’s reliance on and compliance with instructions received by the ADS Depositary through the DRS/Profile System and in accordance with the ADS Deposit Agreement, shall not constitute negligence or bad faith on the part of the ADS Depositary.

Shareholder Communications; Inspection of Register of Holders of ADSs

The ADS Depositary will make available for your inspection at its office all communications that it receives from Oi as a holder of deposited securities that Oi makes generally available to holders of deposited securities. The ADS Depositary will send you copies of those communications if Oi asks it to. You have a right to inspect the register of Common ADS Holders, but not for the purpose of contacting those holders about a matter unrelated to Oi’s business or the Common ADSs.

Jury Trial Waiver

The ADS Deposit Agreement provides that, to the extent permitted by law, Common ADS holders waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against Oi or the ADS Depositary arising out of or relating to Common Shares, the Common ADSs or the ADS Deposit Agreement, including any claim under the U.S. federal securities laws. If Oi or the ADS Depositary opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable in the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering 1,405,675,930 Common Shares represented by 281,135,186 Common ADSs to permit the resale of those Common ADSs by the selling shareholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. The Common ADSs covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling shareholders. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the Common ADSs. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the Common ADSs.

The Common ADSs may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices. The selling shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.

The selling shareholders may offer and sell all or a portion of the Common ADSs covered by this prospectus from time to time, in one or more or any combination of the following transactions:

 

   

on the NYSE or on any other national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Common ADSs may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

   

in the over-the-counter market;

 

   

in privately negotiated transactions;

 

   

through ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and

 

   

through any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

Instead of selling the Common ADSs under this prospectus, the selling shareholders may sell all or a portion the Common ADSs offered by this prospectus in compliance with the provisions of Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, provided that such sales meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such exemptions.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

The selling shareholders may, at their discretion, sell all, none, or a portion of the Common ADSs beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more broker-dealers or agents. If the Common ADSs are sold through broker-dealers or agents, the broker-dealers or their agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling shareholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale and the selling shareholders will be responsible for broker-dealers or agents’ commissions, discounts or concessions. The selling shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Common ADSs against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

To the extent that any of the selling shareholders are brokers or dealers, they may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the Common ADSs represented by the registered Common Shares may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. As of the date of this prospectus, based on the representations received by Oi from the selling shareholders, none of the selling shareholders are brokers or dealers or affiliated with brokers or dealers.

Table of Contents

In offering the Common ADSs covered by this prospectus, any broker-dealers or agents who execute sales for the selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the Common ADSs must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the Common ADSs may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

The selling shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Common ADSs offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders and any other participating person. The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of Common ADSs in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholders and their affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Common ADSs to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Common ADSs for a period of up to five business days before the distribution. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Common ADSs and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Common ADSs.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Oi is a corporation organized under the laws of Brazil. All of the directors and officers of Oi and some of the advisors named herein reside in Brazil or elsewhere outside the United States, and all or a significant portion of the assets of such persons may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States or other jurisdictions outside Brazil upon such persons, or to enforce against such persons judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the laws of such other jurisdictions.

Oi has been advised by Barbosa, Müssnich & Aragão Advogados, its Brazilian counsel, that a judgment of non-Brazilian courts for civil liabilities predicated upon the securities laws of countries other than Brazil, including the U.S. securities laws, may be enforced in Brazil, subject to certain requirements described below. Such counsel has advised that a judgment against Oi, its directors and officers or certain advisors named herein obtained outside Brazil would be enforceable in Brazil upon confirmation of that judgment by the Superior Tribunal de Justiça (Superior Court of Justice). That confirmation will only be available if the foreign judgment:

 

   

fulfills all formalities required for its enforceability under the laws of the non-Brazilian court where the foreign judgment is granted;

 

   

is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction after proper service of process on the parties according to the rules of the location where the party to be summoned resides, or after sufficient evidence of its absence has been given, as established pursuant to applicable law;

 

   

is final and, therefore, not subject to appeal;

 

   

original is accompanied by a sworn translation into Portuguese as well as with key documents and its sworn translations duly authenticated by the Brazilian consulate in the location where the non-Brazilian court rendered the judgment; and

 

   

is not against Brazilian public policy, good morals or national sovereignty (as set forth in Brazilian law).

Oi has been further advised by its Brazilian counsel that original actions may be brought in connection with this Information Statement predicated solely on the federal securities laws of the United States in Brazilian courts and that, subject to applicable law, Brazilian courts may enforce liabilities in such actions against Oi or the directors and officers and certain advisors named herein provided that provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States do not contravene Brazilian laws and regulation, public policy, good morals or national sovereignty and provided further that Brazilian courts can assert jurisdiction over the particular action.

Table of Contents

In addition, a plaintiff, whether Brazilian or non-Brazilian, that resides outside Brazil during the course of litigation in Brazil must provide a bond to guarantee court costs and legal fees if the plaintiff owns no real property in Brazil that could secure its payment. This bond must have a value sufficient to satisfy the payment of court fees and defendant attorney’s fees, as determined by the Brazilian judge, except in the case of the enforcement of debt instrument or counterclaim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Oi cannot assure you that confirmation of any judgment will be obtained, or that the process described above can be conducted in a timely manner.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the Common Shares, including Common Shares represented by ADSs, offered by this prospectus and certain legal matters governed by Brazilian law will be passed upon by Barbosa Müssnich Aragão. We have been advised on U.S. securities matters by White & Case LLP.

Item 10.

Undertakings.

(a)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)    To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)    To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or Item 8.A of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(5)    That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(A)    Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

II-2


Table of Contents

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(b)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(h)     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to any provision or arrangement whereby the registrant may indemnify a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant against liabilities arising under the Securities Act, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
