RE.: Notification of the modification of the price offered by Fintech Telecom, LLC in the Mandatory Tender Offer for Class B shares issued by Telecom Argentina S.A. (“Telecom Argentina”).

Dear Sir,

I am writing to you regarding the mandatory tender offer, which was duly disclosed, for common Class B shares issued by Telecom Argentina S.A. (each share, a “Share” and such mandatory tender offer, the “OPA”).

We hereby inform you that Fintech Telecom, LLC (the “Offeror”), has decided to modify the following terms of the OPA: (1) the offered price has been amended from Ps.46 per Share to U.S.$3.925 (three dollars and ninety- two point five cents) per Share (from which U.S.$0.050 (five cents) should be deducted per Share as cash dividends paid on May 13, 2016 according to the terms of the OPA announcement, together with any other cash dividend payable by Telecom Argentina from the date of the OPA’s announcement to the date of the OPA´s Payment Date) (the “Offered Price”). The Offered Price shall be payable in Pesos in Argentina at the seller exchange rate announced by Banco de la Nación Argentina at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the OPA’s Payment Date under the terms described in the OPA prospectus; and (2) the Offeror has decided to waive the fulfillment of the condition of previously obtaining the express authorization by the Argentine Antitrust Authority for the Offeror’s acquisition of the indirect control of Telecom Argentina, to which the OPA was subject as set forth in the OPA announcement. The OPA remains subject to the Offeror’s acquisition of indirect control in Telecom Argentina not being expressly rejected and to the absence of further conditions having been established which could adversely affect the Offeror or Telecom Argentina or its respective affiliates (controlling companies, controlled companies or companies under common control) by the Argentine Antitrust Authority or by any other Argentine authority as will be reflected in the OPA prospectus once it is approved by the Comisión Nacional de Valores.

The OPA is subject to the prior approval by the Comisión Nacional de Valores, which has not been granted yet.

Sincerely,

Sebastian Sanchez Sarmiento

Attorney-in-fact
