Dear Sirs,

 

RE.: Acceptance of the resignation of Alternate Director

 

 

I am writing you as Chairman of Telecom Argentina S.A. (“Telecom Argentina” or the Company) with the aim of informing the following:

 

i)

According to the note submitted on February 2, 2017, Mr. Bernardo Saravia Frías presented his resignation as Alternate Director of the Company due to his designation to hold office in the public function.

ii)

The Board of Directors of Telecom Argentina on its meeting held today, considered and accepted the resignation of Mr. Saravia Frías.

iii)

As the Board of Directors has an adequate number of alternate members, it was resolved that there is no need to adopt any resolution for the replacement of the resigning Director, until the next Shareholder’s Meeting is held.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

 

Mariano Ibáñez

Chairman
