Financial review

 

On 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom subscribed a share capital increase of Oi through the contribution in kind of the PT Assets, defined as its 100% interest in PT Portugal, which as of that date included all operational businesses of Portugal Telecom Group except for the subsidiaries Bratel BV, Bratel Brasil, S.A., PTB2, S.A. and Marnaz, S.A. and the investments in Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders. As a result of the contribution to the Oi share capital increase on 5 May 2014:

 

·                  PT increased its effective interest in Oi from 23.2%, previously held through Bratel Brasil, to an economic interest of 39.7%, held through a total direct interest of 35.8% (32.8% in Portugal Telecom and 3.0% in Bratel Brasil) and an indirect interest of 3.9% held through the controlling shareholders of Oi.

·                  The investment in Oi is classified in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 as from 5 May 2014 and accordingly measured at fair value based on the quote prices of Oi’s shares at the balance sheet date.

·                  As a result of all transactions that were necessary to implement in connection with the contribution of PT Assets to Oi’s capital increase and the low historical carrying value of some of the assets in PT’s consolidated statement of financial position, Portugal Telecom recorded a gain of Euro 701 million that was partially offset by the write off of deferred tax assets related to tax losses carried forward recognized amounting to Euro 208 million as of 5 May 2014, following the discontinuing of the Portuguese operations that supported theses tax losses.

·                  The earnings and losses of all businesses contributed to Oi’ share capital increase were presented as discontinued operations and accordingly the income statements for the 9M13 and 3Q13 were restated.

Consolidated operating costs amounted to Euro 35 million in 9M14 and Euro 12 million in 9M13, reflecting higher third party expenses related to business combination between Portugal Telecom and Oi and also higher indirect taxes related to those expenses.

 

Net other gains of Euro 126 million in 9M13 includes mainly a gain of Euro 134 million resulting from the settlement of contractual obligations related to the acquisition of the investment in Oi in 2011, for an amount of Euro 16 million that was lower than the liability initially recognised.

 

Net interest income amounting to Euro 11 million in 9M14 and Euro 12 million in 9M13 relate mainly to term deposits held by Portugal Telecom and Bratel Brasil, as Portugal Telecom’s debt prior to the Oi share capital increase was transferred to Oi as part of PT Assets.

 

Losses in joint ventures correspond to Portugal Telecom’s share in the losses of joint ventures up to 5 May 2014, based on the equity method of accounting, since as from that date the investment in Oi is measured at fair value based on the share price of Oi’s shares with the related changes in fair value being included under the caption “Net losses on financial assets and other investments”. PT’s share in the losses of joint ventures decreased to Euro 38 million in 9M14 as compared to Euro 68 million in 9M13, reflecting mainly a capital gain recorded by Oi in the first quarter of 2014 relating to the disposal of mobile telecommunication towers, amounting to R$ 1,247 million (equivalent to approximately Euro 60 million corresponding to PT’s share, net of taxes), and lower interest expenses from Oi’s controlling shareholders, which in 2014 relate to only four months as compared to nine months in 2013.

Table of Contents

 

These effects were partially offset by higher interest costs, higher net other financial expenses and lower revenues at Oi.

 

Net losses on financial assets and other investments in 9M14 correspond to the loss resulting from the reduction in the fair value of the investment in Oi between 5 May and 30 September 2014, since as from 5 May 2014 this investment is classified as held for distribution to owners and accordingly measured at fair value based on the quote price of Oi’s shares.

 

Net other financial losses reflect mainly certain bank commissions and other financial services, including certain financial costs incurred in 2Q14 in connection with the business combination between Portugal Telecom and Oi, namely financial taxes paid for the transfer of funds to Brazil.

 

Income taxes amounted to a gain of Euro 10 million in 9M14, corresponding basically to the tax effect on operating costs and other financial expenses net of interest income. The change compared to the same period of last year reflects mainly higher operating and net other financial costs.

 

Net income from discontinued operations in 9M14 includes primarily a gain recorded in connection with Oi’s share capital increase, totaling Euro 701 million, partially offset by the write-off of deferred tax assets relating to tax losses of Euro 208 million that was recorded on the same date due to the discontinuing of Portuguese businesses that supported the recognition of those deferred tax assets. Adjusting for these effects, discontinued operations reported a net loss of Euro 9 million in 9M14, as compared to a net income of Euro 328 million in 9M13 that reflects primarily the gain recorded in connection with the disposal of the equity investment in CTM in 2Q13 (Euro 310 million), partially offset by certain provisions and adjustments recorded in the same period to adjust the carrying value of certain assets to their corresponding recoverable amounts.

 

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to Euro 14 million in 9M14 and Euro 43 million in 9M13, reflecting mainly lower income from African businesses in 2014 up to 5 May, when these businesses were contributed to Oi’s share capital increase.

 

Net income decreased to Euro 62 million in 9M14 as compared to Euro 305 million in 9M13, reflecting primarily: (1) the loss of Euro 338 million due to the reduction in the fair value of the investment in Oi as from 5 May 2014; (2) the gain of Euro 310 million recorded in connection with the disposal of the equity investment in CTM in 2Q13, and (3) the net other gains recorded in 9M13 (Euro 126 million). These effects were partially offset by the gain recorded in connection with Oi’s share capital increase, as described above, and by lower losses in joint ventures recorded through the equity method of accounting.

The decrease in total assets and total liabilities reflects the assets and liabilities of the businesses that were contributed to Oi’s share capital on 5 May 2014, explaining the reduction across the majority of captions of the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

Non-current assets held for distribution to owners as at 30 September 2014 correspond to the fair value of the investment in Oi based on quote prices of Oi’s shares as of that date. The investment in Oi is classified in accordance with the provisons of IFRS 5 and accordingly measured at fair value based on the quote prices of Oi’s shares, since this fair value is lower than the previous carrying amount.

 

Shareholders’ equity excluding non-controlling interests amounted to Euro 1,953 million as at 30 September 2014, compared to Euro 1,641 million as at 31 December 2013, an increase of Euro 312 million reflecting (1) the net income generated in the period (Euro 62 million), (2) positive foreign currency translation adjustments of Euro 160 million, related mainly to the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro, and (3) the reversal of treasury shares related to the 10% interest in Portugal Telecom held by Oi (Euro 159 million), following the

remeasuring of this investment from the equity accounting to fair value. These effects were partially offset by dividends attributed to PT’s shareholders on 30 April 2014 (Euro 86 million) and paid on 30 May 2014.

Business performance

 

The Business Combination of Portugal Telecom and Oi

 

Following the memorandum of understanding disclosed to the market on 2 October 2013 (the “Memorandum of Understanding”), Portugal Telecom, Oi and the main shareholders of both companies announced their intention to implement a combination of the businesses of Portugal Telecom and Oi (the “Business Combination”) into a single listed company governed by the laws of Brazil, which has now been determined to be Telemar Participações, S.A. (“TmarPart” ou “CorpCo”).

 

The Business Combination transaction, as initially considered, involved three principal steps:

 

·      A first step involving a share capital increase of Oi (the “Oi Capital Increase”), completed on 5 May 2014, with the issuance of common shares and preferred shares in a subscription offer totaling R$8,250 million in cash, including the proceeds resulting from the exercise of the greenshoe option, and the issuance of common shares and preferred shares to Portugal Telecom in exchange for Portugal Telecom’s transferring to Oi (i) all of Portugal Telecom’s operational assets, except for interests held directly or indirectly —through Bratel Brasil, SA (“Bratel Brasil”) and PTB2 SA (“PTB2”) - in Oi, Contax Participações, SA, and Bratel BV, and (ii) substantially all of Portugal Telecom’s liabilities at the time of transfer, which the valuation report valued at a net value (i.e. assets minus liabilities) of R$5,709.9 million. Concurrently with the Oi Capital Increase, Portugal Telecom subscribed, through its Brazilian subsidiaries, convertible debentures issued by companies within the chain of control of AG Telecom Participações SA (“AG Telecom”) and of LF Tel SA (“LF Tel”), and these companies subscribed convertible debentures of TmarPart. All of such debentures have been converted, and, as a result, PT acquired an additional stake in these companies within the chain of control of AG Telecom and LF Tel and, indirectly, in TmarPart and Oi;

 

·      A second step involving a Brazilian law incorporation of shares (the “Merger of Shares”), pursuant to which, subject to the approval of holders of Oi and CorpCo common shares, all Oi shares, other than those held by CorpCo, would be exchanged for CorpCo common shares, with Oi thereby becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of CorpCo.  At the same time, CorpCo would become listed on the Novo Mercado segment of the BM&FBOVESPA, SA — Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (the “BM&FBOVESPA”). Concurrently with the Merger of Shares, the control structure of CorpCo was expected to be simplified through the corporate reorganization of the various holding companies having direct and indirect shareholder interests in CorpCo, as a result of which, among other effects, PT would directly hold the Oi shares corresponding to its indirect interest in CorpCo (the “Corporate Reorganization”); and

 

·      A third step involving the later merger through incorporation, under Portuguese and Brazilian law, of Portugal Telecom by and into CorpCo, with the latter being the surviving company (the “Merger”), and as a result of which the shareholders of Portugal Telecom would receive a total amount of shares of CorpCo equal to the amount of shares of that company held by Portugal Telecom immediately prior to the Merger. The shares of

Table of Contents

 

CorpCo, the entity resulting from the abovementioned transactions, would be listed on the Novo Mercado segment of the BM&FBOVESPA, on the NYSE Euronext Lisbon regulated market (“Euronext Lisbon”), and on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

 

The transaction resulted thus from an agreement, and it was left to the management of both companies (which included certain members exercising management positions at both companies as a result of the cross-shareholdings between the companies) to implement such transactions, subject to approval by the shareholders at general meetings. With respect to PT, the first and third steps of the Business Combination were to be subject to the approval of PT’s shareholders at general meetings.

 

Oi Capital Increase

 

In the context of the Business Combination, the Oi Capital Increase has already taken place, whereby, as expected, part of the new shares issued by Oi were subscribed by Portugal Telecom through a contribution in kind corresponding to all of the shares of PT Portugal, SGPS, SA (“PT Portugal”), a company that held all the operational assets corresponding to the businesses of the companies of the Portugal Telecom group (“Portugal Telecom Group”) (with the exception of the interests held, directly or indirectly, in Oi, Contax Participações, SA, and Bratel BV) and the respective liabilities on the date of their contribution (“PT Assets”). The PT Assets were contributed based on the value set forth in a proposal of the Board of Directors of Oi to the general meeting of Oi’s shareholders, based on a valuation report issued by an independent and specialized institution - Banco Santander (Brasil) SA, engaged by Oi for that purpose — in accordance with applicable Brazilian legislation, the valuation report of which was approved at the Oi general shareholders’ meeting held on 27 March 2014. For more information regarding the valuation methods and criteria used by Banco Santander (Brasil) SA for the issuance of the valuation report, see the copy attached as Annex 1 to the proposal of the PT Board of Directors to the general shareholders’ meeting held last 27 March, and available at www.cmvm.pt.

 

As indicated above, given its importance, PT’s subscription to the Oi Capital Increase was subject to and approved by the shareholders of PT at a general shareholders’ meeting.

 

Upon completion of the Oi Capital Increase, Oi became a company with significant presence in the principal segments of the telecommunications markets in Portugal and Brazil, while at the same time holding the interests previously held by PT in Africa.

 

On 27 March 2104, the general meeting of Oi’s shareholders approved the aforementioned valuation report and the contribution of the PT Assets to Oi, which assets were valued at R$5,709.9 million - corresponding to Euro 1,750 million, using the conversion rate from Reais to Euros on 20 February 2014 (that is, R$3.2628 per Euro), as set forth in the previous agreements - the amount for which the general shareholders’ meeting of Portugal Telecom, also held on 27 March 2014, approved the contribution of the PT Assets in the context of the Oi Capital Increase.

 

The Oi Capital Increase was completed on 5 May 2014, where Portugal Telecom subscribed for 1,045,803,934 common shares and 1,720,252,731 preferred shares of Oi in exchange for the contribution of all of the shares of PT Portugal, owner of the PT Assets. As a result, Portugal Telecom currently owns, as its sole material asset, a direct and indirect interest of 39.7% of Oi’s share capital, including 39.0% of the voting share capital (excluding indirect interests through TmarPart, AG Telecom and LF Tel in Oi).

Table of Contents

 

The PT Assets contributed by PT in the context of the Oi Capital Increase included a creditor position with respect to Rio Forte Investments, SA (“Rioforte”) - a company within Grupo Espírito Santo (“GES”) - corresponding to certain short-term investments subscribed for or acquired by two companies which at the time were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Portugal Telecom — namely PT Portugal and Portugal Telecom International Finance, BV (“PTIF”) — in the aggregate amount of Euro 897 million, detailed below as Rioforte Instruments .

 

On 15 July 2014, the Rioforte Instruments  held by the above mentioned subsidiaries in the amount of Euro 847 million matured. On 17 July 2014 the additional portion of Euro 50 million of the Rioforte Instruments also matured.

 

Rioforte failed to repay the amounts due under the Rioforte Investments on their respective maturity dates, and on 22 July and 24 July 2014, the additional grace periods during which the payment of the Rioforte Instruments  due on 15 July and 17 July 2014, respectively, could have been made, also lapsed without the amounts due having been paid.

 

Shareholder agreements

 

Under the agreements relating to the Business Combination as currently in effect below, if the second step of the Business Combination, which includes the Merger of Shares and the Corporate Reorganization, is not completed by 31 March 2015, the parties will no longer be bound to exercise their respective voting rights in the applicable companies in favor of approving all the steps for Corporate Reorganization and the Merger of Shares expected to occur during this second step of the Business Combination.

 

In this case, the shareholders’ agreements relating to TmarPart (the “TmarPart Shareholder Agreements”) entered into or amended on 25 January 2011, on 19 February 2014 and on 8 September 2014, will remain in force, with the quorum requirements provided for in the agreements to be adjusted in consideration of the percentage interests held by AG Telecom, LF Tel, BNDES Participações SA - BNDESPAR (“BNDESPAR”), Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil (“PREVI”), Fundação Atlântico de Seguridade Social (“FATL”), Fundação Petrobras de Seguridade Social - PETROS (“PETROS”), Fundação dos Economiários Federais - FUNCEF (“FUNCEF”) and Bratel brasil S.A. (“Bratel Brasil”) on 31 March 2015, in order to ensure that the voting rights of such shareholders are equal to those on 19 February 2014, and provided they have not reduced their respective shareholder interests before 31 March 2015 through the sale of shares to third parties that are not original signatories of the Global Shareholders’ Agreement (as defined below) or their related parties.

 

The TmarPart Shareholder Agreements included (a) a general shareholders’ agreement, entered into by all TmarPart shareholders - AG Telecom, LF Tel, FATL, Bratel Brasil, BNDESPAR, PREVI, PETROS, and FUNCEF - as parties, and by TmarPart and Portugal Telecom, as intervening parties (“Global Shareholders’ Agreement”) and (b) a separate shareholders’ agreement entered into only among AG Telecom, LF Tel, and FATL as parties, and TmarPart as intervening party (“Control Group Shareholders’ Agreement”).

 In addition to the TmarPart Shareholders’ Agreements, if the second step of the Business Combination between Portugal Telecom and Oi, which includes the Merger of Shares and the Corporate Reorganization, is not completed by 31 March 2015, the shareholder agreements entered into among Bratel Brasil, AGSA and Jereissati Telecom, which include the following shareholder agreements entered into by such parties on 25 January 2011 and amended on 19 February 2014 and 8 September 2014, will remain in force: (i) the shareholders’ agreement entered into between Jereissati Telecom and Bratel Brasil in relation to EDSP75 Participações (“EDSP”), with EDSP, LF Tel,  AGSA, Pasa Participações (“PASA”), Andrade Gutierrez Telecomunicações Ltda. (which later merged with and into AGSA), AG Telecom, Portugal Telecom,  Sayed RJ Participações S.A. (“Sayed”), Venus RJ Participações S.A. (“Venus”) and PTB2 S.A. (“PTB2”) as intervening parties (the “EDSP Shareholders’ Agreement”), and (ii) the shareholders’ agreement entered into between AGSA and Bratel Brasil in relation to PASA, with PASA, AG Telecom,  Jereissati Telecom, ESDP, LF Tel, Portugal Telecom, Sayed, Venus and PTB2 as intervening parties (the “PASA Shareholders’ Agreement”). The initial terms of these shareholder agreements also expire on 25 April 2048 but can be extended for successive ten-year periods with the consent of all the parties thereto.

 

These EDSP and PASA shareholder agreements are intended to coordinate PASA and EDSP’s corporate governance and to simplify the decision-making process among Jereissati Telecom, AGSA and Portugal Telecom as shareholders of TmarPart. Under these shareholders’ agreements, among other things:

 

·      Pre-meetings are to be held between the shareholders to decide in advance the matters to be analyzed during pre-meetings to be held under the Global Shareholders’ Agreement and the Control Group Shareholders’ Agreement;

·      The approval of certain issues is subject to a qualified majority vote of the shareholders, including:

 

·      Approval of, and amendments to, the annual budget and annual investment plans of PASA, EDSP, AG Telecom, and LF Tel, which are subject to a qualified majority of 83% of the votes;

·      The entering by PASA, EDSP, AG Telecom, or LF Tel, into any loans or financing agreements in excess of R$50 million, or the entering of any agreement imposing a pecuniary obligation on PASA, EDSP, AG Telecom, or LF Tel in excess of R$50 million, or the granting of any guarantees by PASA, EDSP, AG Telecom, or LF Tel on behalf of third parties obligations in excess of R$50 million, which are subject to a qualified majority of 90% of votes; and

·      Any amendments to the Global Shareholders’ Agreement or the issuance of preferred shares by PASA, AG Telecom, or LF Tel, the approval of any decision subject to a qualified majority under the scope Global Shareholders’ Agreement (defined as a “material decision” according to the PASA Shareholders’ Agreement and the EDSP Shareholders’ Agreement), among other issues, which are subject to a unanimous vote of the shareholders.

 

·      Rights of first offer are granted to the shareholders with respect to the transfer of shares issued by PASA and EDSP;

·      Tag-along rights are granted in favor of Portugal Telecom, in the event of the sale of PASA and EDSP shares by AGSA or Jereissati Telecom, as applicable; and

 

13



Table of Contents

 

·      A general restriction on the sale of shares issued by PASA and EDSP by AGSA or Jereissati Telecom, as applicable, to competitors of Portugal Telecom.

 

If the Business Combination is not completed by 31 March 2015, any of the shareholders party to the PASA Shareholders’ Agreement or the EDSP Shareholders’ Agreement may send a notification of non-occurrence of the reorganization and require the adoption of the necessary measures in order for Bratel Brasil, PTB2, AGSA and Jereissati Telecom to receive shares of capital stock of Oi held by AG Telecom and LF Tel, in proportion to their respective direct and indirect capital interests in those entities.

 

The implementation of the second step of the Business Combination, which includes the Corporate Reorganization and the Merger of Shares, requires a further pre-meeting of the shareholders of CorpCo to approve the valuation reports required for the implementation of such transactions, among other matters.

 

Final agreement on the terms to proceed with the Business Combination

 

On 28 July 2014, PT SGPS and Oi S.A. announced that they had reached an agreement on the final terms of the key contracts following the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) announced on 16 July 2014. The main terms of these contracts established that:

 

·      PT SGPS would be exchange (“Exchange”) with Oi the treasury applications in Rio Forte Investments SA (“Rioforte debt”), amounting to Euro 897 million, for 474,348,720 Oi ON shares plus 948,697,440 Oi PN shares (the “Oi Call Shares”);

 

·      PT SGPS would be granted a non-transferrable American-type call (“Call”) to repurchase the Oi Call Shares (strike prices of R$2.0104 ON and R$1.8529 PN), which would be adjusted by the Brazilian CDI rate plus 1.5% per year;

 

·      The Call on the Oi Call Shares would become effective on the date of the Exchange, will have a 6-year maturity, and the Oi Call Shares that PT SGPS has the right to call would be reduced by 10% at the end of the first year and by 18% per year thereafter;

 

·      Any proceeds received as a result of a monetization of the Call through the issuance of derivatives or back to back instruments must be used to exercise the Call;

 

·      PT SGPS could only acquire Oi or CorpCo shares through the exercise of the Call;

 

·      The Call would be cancelled if (i) PT SGPS’s bylaws would be voluntarily amended to remove the 10% voting limitation, (ii) PT SGPS act as a competitor to Oi, or (iii) PT SGPS breach certain obligations under the definitive documentation, and

 

·      The contracts would be executed as soon as all corporate approvals had been obtained and the Exchange should be subject to the approval of Comissão de Valores Mobiliários in Brazil and should be executed before or on 31 March 2015.

Table of Contents

 

The terms of the agreements also included an agreed alternative to the incorporation of PT SGPS into CorpCo as previously announced, aimed at achieving the following objectives:

 

·      Allow for the merger of Oi and CorpCo and migration to the Novo Mercado to be implemented as soon as possible, with the listing of CorpCo on BM&F Bovespa, Euronext Lisboa and NYSE;

 

·      Subject to approval by the Board of Directors and at a General Shareholders Meeting, to be specifically convened for such purpose, PT SGPS shareholders will receive all shares of CorpCo held by PT SGPS, corresponding to the ownership interest in CorpCo of 25.6%, adjusted for the treasury shares resulting from the execution of the Exchange and prior to any exercise of the Call, and

 

·      PT SGPS to remain listed with the Rioforte Instruments and the Call as its only material assets.

 

The terms of the agreements, as described above, were approved on 8 September 2014 at the General Shareholders Meeting of PT SGPS, and the definitive agreements were concluded on the same day. However, the Exchange is still subject to the approval of Comissão de Valores Mobiliários in Brazil. Such approval should be granted until 31 March 2015.

 

Subsequent events

 

·      On 9 November 2014, Terra Peregrin - Participações SGPS, S.A. published a preliminary announcement for the launch of a public takeover bid for the acquisition of the total ordinary and category A shares, representative of the whole share capital and voting rights of Portugal Telecom (including the shares corresponding to the share capital of Portugal Telecom which are underlying to the ADRs). The offeror’s voting rights are entirely attributable to Mrs. Isabel dos Santos and/or one or more companies (with registered offices in Portugal or abroad) in a control or group relationship with the offeror and/or with Mrs. Isabel dos Santos.

 

The offer is general and voluntary and the consideration offered, to be paid in cash, is of €1.35 per share, which represents a premium of circa 11% in relation to the last closing price of the shares of Portugal Telecom on 7 November 2014 (€1.217). The effectiveness of the offer is subject to the acquisition of, at least, 50.01% of the voting rights corresponding to the share capital of Portugal Telecom.

 

According to the preliminary announcement, the launch of the offer is subject to:

 

1.     Obtaining the prior registration of the offer with the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (“CMVM”);

 

2.     The declaration by CMVM of the derogation of the duty to launch the subsequent takeover bid, as a result of the acquisition of shares of Portugal Telecom in the context of this offer;

 

3.     Obtaining the legal and administrative approvals and authorisations that may be required under Portuguese law and/or any applicable foreign legislation, notably from the competent competition authorities in Portugal, Brazil and/or the European Union (however, the offeror understands that its offer does not entail any competition issues on any jurisdiction);

 

15



Table of Contents

 

4.     Obtaining the authorisation of the shareholders’ general meeting of Portugal Telecom (even if conditional upon the success of the offer) for the offeror to acquire a shareholding greater than 10% of the shares representing the share capital of Portugal Telecom, without the establishment of any other limit or condition;

 

5.     The amendment of the articles of association of Portugal Telecom (even if conditional upon the success of the offer or even if only applicable to the offeror or entities in the position of the offeror) so that there is no limit on the counting of votes issued by a single shareholder, by itself or through a representative, in its own name or as the representative of another shareholder;

 

6.     The adoption of resolutions by the competent body or bodies of Portugal Telecom and/or of Oi and/or of other companies involved in the Business Combination, aimed at the immediate suspension (up to the 30th day following the physical and financial settlement of the offer) of the process of the Business Combination;

 

7.     The elimination or non-enshrinement (as applicable) of limits in the articles of association on the counting of votes issued by a single shareholder, by itself or through a representative, in its own name or as representative of another, regardless of the shareholding that each shareholder holds in CorpCo and/or Oi (even if conditional upon the success of the offer or even if only applicable to Portugal Telecom and to the offeror or entities in the position of the offeror);

 

8.     The change of the terms of the Call Option agreed with Oi (even if conditional upon the success of the offer) so to (i) eliminate the obligation imposed on Portugal Telecom to only be able to acquire shares of Oi or of CorpCo by exercising the Call Option and (ii) not to grant Oi with the option to cancel or extinguish the Call Option in case of (a) amendment of the articles of association of Portugal Telecom as referred to in paragraph 5 above, and (b) direct or indirect carrying on by Portugal Telecom of activities that compete with those carried on by Oi and of the entities it controls in the countries in which they operate;

 

9.     The modification (even if conditional upon the success of the offer) of any instruments that establish negative consequences in the event of a change of control of Portugal Telecom;

 

10.  The adoption of resolutions by the competent body or bodies of Portugal Telecom, and/or of Oi, and/or of CorpCo, and/or of companies that are their controlling shareholders, and/or of other companies involved in processes, whether or not they have been announced, to divest or encumber relevant assets, that approve the interruption or the non-pursuit, in any form, of said processes, or the rejection of any proposals presented in this context.

 

In addition, the preliminary announcement mentions several assumptions on which the offer is based.

 

On 10 November, Oi published an announcement in which it stated that the conditions for the launch of the offer whose adoption would imply the change of the terms of the Business Combination, recently renegotiated by Portugal Telecom and Oi — notably, the conditions mentioned in paragraphs 6, 7, 8 and 9 above — were unacceptable. Oi also mentioned that it would not proceed to any change of the

 

16



Table of Contents

 

corporate acts, definitive agreements and other instruments executed in order to meet any of the conditions for the launch of the offer.

 

Further to Oi’s announcement, on 17 November 2014, Terra Peregrin - Participações SGPS, S.A. issued an announcement in which it stated its willingness to waive certain conditions previously established for the launch of the offer over Portugal Telecom’s shares:

 

a.     Firstly, the offeror stated it was willing to waive the condition mentioned in paragraph 6 above. However, the offeror added a new assumption of the offer, consisting on the non-conclusion of the process of the Business Combination before the 15th day prior to the physical and financial settlement of the offer.

 

b.     In addition, the offeror stated it was willing to waive the condition mentioned in paragraph 7 above.

 

c.     Thirdly, the offeror stated it was willing to waive the condition mentioned in paragraph 8 above. Within this context, the offeror stated it would amend this condition so that it would consist on the change (even if conditional upon the success of the offer) of the instruments which grant Oi with the option to cancel or extinguish the Call Option in case the situations mentioned in (a) and (b) of paragraph 8 above occur, in such a way that the Call Option would only be granted to Portugal Telecom’s shareholders who do not sell their shares in the offer, i.e., in such a way that the offeror does not benefit from the Call Option.

 

d.     Finally, the offeror stated it was willing to waive the conditions mentioned in paragraphs 9 and 10 above. However, the offeror added a new assumption of the offer, consisting on the inexistence of (i) any instruments that establish negative consequences in the event of a change of control of Portugal Telecom, and (ii) resolutions to divest or encumber relevant assets by the competent body or bodies of Portugal Telecom, and/or of Oi, and/or of CorpCo, and/or of companies that are their controlling shareholders, and/or of other companies involved in processes, whether or not they have been announced, to divest or encumber relevant assets.

 

On the same date, the CMVM issued an announcement on the change of the conditions by the offeror and stated that (i) the offeror had announced its willingness to waive or amend certain conditions included in the preliminary announcement for the launch of the offer, and that any definitive decision should be formalised through an alteration of the conditions established in said preliminary announcement and be included in the request for registration to be presented to the CMVM until 1 December 2014; and (ii) since the consideration mentioned in the preliminary announcement does not comply with the weighted average price in the six-month period prior to the preliminary announcement, the CMVM would evaluate, at the time of the registration of the offer, the justification and equity of the consideration proposed, to be duly explained by the offeror in its request for the registration of the offer, and then decide whether the offer should be deemed as derogating the duty to launch the subsequent takeover bid as a result of the acquisition of more than 50% of the voting rights of Portugal Telecom.

Under article 181 of the Portuguese Securities Code, the Board of Directors will issue a statement within 8 days counting from the reception of the draft of the prospectus and of the offer announcement that shall be delivered by the offeror until 1 December 2014.

 

·                  In November 2014, Africatel GmbH and Portugal Telecom were informed that Samba Luxco S.à.r.L. (“Samba”), holder of a 25% interest in Africatel Holdings B.V., had initiated an arbitration proceeding against Africatel GmbH (a former subsidiary of Portugal Telecom now owned by Oi S.A.) and Portugal Telecom in the Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce relating to its purported put right to sell a interest in Africatel Holdings B.V., which Samba believes was triggered by the transfer of the shares of Africatel GmbH to Oi S.A. in the share capital increase of Oi in May 2014, among other claims. Both Africatel GmbH and Portugal Telecom intend to vigorously defend this proceeding.

 

Under the Subscription Agreement entered into by Portugal Telecom and Oi S.A. in connection with the Oi S.A. share capital increase, Oi S.A. agreed to succeed to Portugal Telecom in any right or obligation contracted by it, as long as the agreements generating that right or obligation have been indicated in the documents for the global offering that formed part of the Oi share capital increase.  The prospectus for the Oi S.A. share capital increase disclosed, among other things, that Samba had asserted that the business combination between Portugal Telecom and Oi S.A. triggered certain rights under the Africatel shareholders’ agreement, including a put right in respect of Samba’s interest in Africatel Holdings B.V.

 

·                  On 8 October 2014, some shareholders of the Company brought a civil lawsuit before the District Court of Lisbon (Tribunal Judicial da Comarca de Lisboa) seeking a declaration of invalidity and/or the nullification of a shareholders resolution that was approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 8 September 2014, on the grounds of alleged impediment to vote of certain shareholders of the Company, violation of the purpose or object of the Company and abusive vote. The Company was summoned in order to present its statement defense on 13 October 2014 and submitted it on 12 November 2014.

 

In addition, on 19 September 2014, a shareholder holding 500 shares of the Company has initiated an injunction proceedings before the District Court of Lisbon (Tribunal Judicial da Comarca de Lisboa) in order to suspend the shareholders resolution that was approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 8 September 2014. Although the claimant lacks legal standing for the required purpose — to the extent that such proceedings could only be initiated by shareholders who, alone or jointly, hold shares corresponding to at least 0.5% of the share capital -, the Court ordered the Company to be summoned in order to present its statement of opposition, which occurred last 5 November 2014. The Company submitted its statement of opposition on 17 November 2014 and now waits for a Court decision on the granting of the protective order.

 

·                  On 18 November 2014, at Oi’s Extraordinary General Meeting, shareholders approved a reverse stock split of all the ordinary and preferred shares issued by Oi at a ratio of 10: 1, such that each lot of ten shares of each class was grouped into a single share of the same class, with a related amendment to Article 5 of Oi’s bylaws.

 

As a result of the reverse stock split, the current 2,861,553,190 ordinary shares and 5,723,166,910 preferred shares now represent 286,155,319 ordinary shares and 572,316,691 preferred shares,

respectively, with the resulting amendment of Article 5 of Oi’s bylaws. Similarly, at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 18 November 2014, Oi’s shareholders also approved the amendment of the first paragraph of Article 5 of Oi’s bylaws to reflect the changes in share capital and number of shares of Oi approved by the Board, such that the share capital is represented by 858,472,010 shares, comprised of 286,155,319 ordinary shares and 572,316,691 preferred shares, without par value.

 

The reverse stock split proposal was aimed at reducing the volatility of Oi’s shares resulting from the reduced share price in the market, in order to protect Oi and its shareholders from percentage fluctuations resulting from small changes in the share price and, at the same time, to prevent shareholders, especially foreign investment funds, from being precluded from investing in Oi shares because of its share price. In addition, the reverse stock split was aimed at meeting the requirements of NYSE Listing Rules, which require, among other things, that the average closing price of the shares of listed companies remain equal to or greater than USD1 per share during any consecutive period of 30 trading days.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

As at 30 September 2014

 

(Amounts expressed in Euros, except where otherwise stated)

 

1.                  Introduction

 

On 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A. (“Portugal Telecom” or “Company”) subscribed for 1,045,803,934 common shares and 1,720,252,731 preferred shares issued by Oi, S.A. (“Oi”) through the contribution of the PT Assets defined as its 100% interest in PT Portugal, SGPS, S.A., which as of that date included all operational businesses of Portugal Telecom Group except for the subsidiaries Bratel BV, Bratel Brasil, S.A., PTB2, S.A. and Marnaz, S.A. and the investments in Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders. As a result of the contribution to the Oi share capital increase:

 

·                  Portugal Telecom increased its effective interest in Oi from 23.2%, previously held through Bratel Brasil, to an economic interest of 39.7%, held through a total direct interest of 35.8% (32.8% in Portugal Telecom and 3.0% in Bratel Brasil) and an indirect interest of 3.9% held through the controlling shareholders of Oi;

·                  Portugal Telecom currently holds only the above mentioned investment in Oi, interests in controlling shareholders of Oi (which primarily hold only shares of Oi) and 100% of the holding companies Bratel BV, Bratel Brasil, PTB2 and Marnaz.

 

Up to 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom and its subsidiaries and joint ventures were engaged in rendering a comprehensive range of telecommunications and multimedia services in Portugal, Brazil and other countries in Africa and Asia.

 

Oi Share Capital Increase

 

On 1 October 2013, Portugal Telecom, Oi S.A., AG Telecom Participações S.A. (“AG”), LF Tel S.A. (“LF”), Bratel Brasil S.A. (“Bratel”), Pasa Participações S.A. (“Pasa”), EDSP 75 Participações S.A. (“EDSP75”) (which together with Telemar Participações S.A. (“Tpart”) are defined as “Oi Holding Companies”), Banco Espírito Santo (“BES”) and Nivalis Holding B.V. (“Ongoing”) signed a memorandum of understanding setting out the basis for a proposed merger of Portugal Telecom, Oi and the Oi Holding Companies (the “Business Combination”) into a single Brazilian incorporated listed entity (“CorpCo” or “Telemar Participações”).

 

On 19 February 2014, Portugal Telecom and Oi signed the definitive agreements relating to the combination of their businesses. These agreements govern the steps necessary to implement the Business Combination, which include the following primary transactions, some of which were already completed and others are expected to be completed in 2015:

 

·                  On 5 May 2014, Oi realised a share capital increase under which it issued a total of 2,142,279,524 ordinary shares at the price of R$2.17 per share and of 4,284,559,049 preferred shares at the price of R$2.00 per share and, on the same date, pursuant to article 24 of CVM Instruction No. 400, Banco BTG Pactual S.A. (“Banco Pactual”), in its role as Stabilizing Agent for the Public Offering, partially exercised its option to place an additional 120,265,046 common shares and 240,530,092 preferred shares issued by Oi; the total proceeds from this share capital increase, including the option exercised by Banco Pactual, amounted to R$13,960 million, composed of (1) R$5,710 million (Euro 1,750 million based on the exchange rate as of 21 February 2014) in assets contributed by Portugal Telecom, corresponding to the valuation of PT Assets (as defined below) carried out by Banco Santander (Brasil), S.A., as a result of which Portugal Telecom subscribed for 1,045,803,934 common shares and 1,720,252,731 preferred shares issued by Oi, and (2) R$8,250 million in cash proceeds obtained from other investors, which

 

26



Table of Contents

 

subscribed for the remainder 1,216,740,636 ordinary shares and 2,804,836,410 preferred shares issued by Oi; the participation of Portugal Telecom in the Oi capital increase, through the contribution of assets representing all of the operating assets held directly or indirectly by the Portugal Telecom Group and the related liabilities with the exception of the shares of Oi, the shares of Contax Participações S.A. and the shares of Bratel B.V. (“PT Assets”), for the amount of Brazilian R$5,710 million (Euro 1,750 million), was approved by a majority of 99.87% of the votes present at a General Meeting of Portugal Telecom’s shareholders held on 27 March 2014.

·                  On 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Bratel Brasil and PTB2, subscribed R$4,788 million (Euro 1,555 million based on the exchange rate of 5 May 2014) of debentures convertible into shares of certain holding companies that directly or indirectly control AG and LF, the proceeds of which were ultimately used by AG and LF to repay its indebtness and to subscribe convertible debentures to be issued by Telemar Participações, which in turn also used those proceeds to repay its own indebtness; also on 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom exchanged its interests in CTX Participações and Contax for additional interests in the holding entities that directly or indirectly controlled AG and LF, which at that time held only shares of Oi and Telemar Participações; as a result of these transactions, Portugal Telecom increased its economic interests in AG and LF from 35% to 85.1% and in Telemar Participações from 25.6% to 68.4%, and obtained an additional 2.4% interest in Oi.

·                  Subject to the approvals of the holders of voting shares of Oi and Telemar Participações, Oi shares not owned by Telemar Participações will be exchanged for Telemar Participações common shares and Oi will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telemar Participações.

 

In connection with the Oi share capital increase referred to above,  Portugal Telecom Group has undertaken an internal restruturing with the purpose of concentrating all operating assets and related liabilities, except for the investments in Oi and Contax under PT Portugal (“PT Assets”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Portugal Telecom. This was an internal reorganization of entities under common control and, as such, no gains or losses were recorded in the consolidated financial statements of Portugal Telecom. Prior to the Oi share capital increase the following main corporate transactions were realized under this internal restruturing:

 

·                  On 31 March 2014, Portugal Telecom disposed to PT Portugal, for total amounts of Euro 1.5 million and Euro 4.7 million, the 100% interests in PT Centro Corporativo and Portugal Telecom Investimentos, respectively.

·                  On 30 April 2014, PT Móveis, SGPS, S.A. (“PT Móveis”) an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PT Portugal, subscribed a share capital increase of Bratel BV in an amount of approximately Euro 1,303 million, the proceeds of which, together with cash on hand of Bratel Brasil, were used, after the acquisition of Bratel BV, to subscribe R$4,788 million (Euro 1,555 million) of debentures convertible into shares of certain controlling entities of AG and LF, as referred to above.

·                  On 2 May 2014, PT Móveis disposed to Portugal Telecom, for a total amount of Euro 4,195 million, its 100% interest in Bratel BV, the company that  holds indirectly through Bratel Brasil the investment in Oi, as this investment is not included in the net assets to be transferred to Oi in the share capital increase.

·                  On 2 May 2014, Portugal Telecom disposed to PT Móveis, for a total amount of Euro 1,590 million, the 100% interest in PT Participações, SGPS, S.A., the controlling shareholder of the Company’s 75% investment in Africatel Holdings BV.

·                  On 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom disposed to PT Portugal, for a total amount of Euro 255 million, the 100% interest in PT Finance.

·                  On 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom transferred to PT Portugal the majority of its outstanding financings for their respective nominal amounts, since those financings were included in the valuation of PT Portugal for purposes of the Oi share capital increase.

 

As mentioned above, on 5 May 2014, following the completion of the above mentioned internal restruturing, Portugal Telecom subscribed the Oi share capital increase through the contribution in kind of its 100% interest in PT Portugal, which as of that date

included only the PT Assets, since the investments in joint ventures (Oi, Telemar Participações, AG and LF) were held directly by Bratel Brasil and PTB2, both of which were wholly-owned by Bratel BV which in turn was wholly-owned by Portugal Telecom. Besides the investments in joint ventures, certain assets and liabilities of Portugal Telecom were not transferred to PT Portugal as part of PT Assets and therefore continued to be fully consolidated in Portugal Telecom’s financial statements, including mainly dividends payable to its shareholders, the financing associated with the equity swap contract over treasury shares, certain tax liabilities and certain accrued expenses as well as the necessary cash balances to settle these liabilities and other expenses expected to be incurred. In addition, as Portugal Telecom no longer controls PT Assets as from 5 May 2014, the related earnings and losses prior to that date are presented as results from discontinued operations and therefore the consolidated income and cash flow statements for the nine months period ended 30 September 2013 were restated accordingly (Note 3).

 

Following the share capital increase mentioned above and also the option exercised by Banco Pactual, Portugal Telecom held a 39.7% effective interest of Oi’s issued and outstanding share capital, including (1) a 35.8% interest held directly in Oi, S.A. through Portugal Telecom (32.8%) and Bratel Brasil (3.0%) and (2) a 3.9% interest held indirectly through the shares of Oi owned by Telemar Participações, AG and LF. In addition, PT Portugal became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oi, S.A. also as a result of the Oi share capital increase.

 

Portugal Telecom recorded a gain of approximately Euro 701 million (Note 12) in connection with Oi’s share capital increase, which reflects mainly (1) the difference between the fair value of the shares obtained in the Oi share capital increase and the carrying value of PT Assets (negative Euro 2,676 million), partially offset by (2) the dilution effect on Portugal Telecom’s previous investment in Oi held through Bratel Brasil and the effect of the remeasurement of the previous investment in Oi to fair value, since as from 5 May 2014 this investment is classified in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 (Note 3). The detail of the total gain recorded in connection with Oi share capital increase is as follows:

(i)                 This caption corresponds to the fair value of the shares obtained by Portugal Telecom in the Oi share capital increase of 5 May 2014, which, based on the price of Oi’s shares (R$2.17 per ordinary share and R$2.00 per preferred share), amounted to R$5,710 million, equivalent to Euro 1,854 million at the exchange rate of that date.

(ii)              As of 5 May 2014, the carrying value of the net assets contributed to the Oi share capital increase was negative Euro 2,676 million, the detail of which is presented below. It should be mentioned that this amount is equivalent to approximately the Company’s total shareholders’ equity before non-controlling interests prior to this transaction, reduced mainly by the carrying value of the investments in Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders, and the cash proceeds of Euro 1,555 million that were used by Bratel Brasil and PTB2 to subscribe the convertible debentures mentioned above, in order to obtain additional shares of the controlling entities of AG and LF and indirecly of OI, and deferred tax assets related to tax losses.

(iii)           As referred to above, this caption reflects the dilution effect over the previous investment in Oi held through Bratel Brasil and the impact of the remeasurement of the previous investment in Oi from the equity method of accounting to the fair value based on the stock price of Oi’s shares in the capital increase (R$2.17 per ordinary share and R$2.00 per preferred share), adjusted for an amount of Euro 159 million relating to the Company’s share in the 10% interest that Oi held in Portugal Telecom that was classified in the Statement of Financial Position as treasury shares. Following the share capital increase, the fair value of the total investment in Oi, including the interests held directly and indirectly, amounted to Euro 2,244 million (R$ 6,914 million) as at 5 May 2014.

(iv)          This caption represents (1) the gain attributable to the difference between the fair value of the shares obtained in the Oi share capital increase (positive Euro 1,854 million, as referred to above) and the carrying value of the net assets contributted to the Oi share capital increase (negative Euro 2,676 million, as detailed below), (2) less the negative effects regarding the remeasuring of the previous investment to fair value, which is lower than the carrying amount, and the dilution effect over that same previous investment. In addition, as a result of the share capital increase, Portugal Telecom wrote-off deferred tax assets relating to tax losses amounting to Euro 208 million (Note 11) following the discontinuing of the Portuguese businesses that supported those tax losses, resulting in a total net gain of Euro 493 million on 5 May 2014 directly related to the Oi share capital increase.

Short-term investments as at 5 May 2014 in the table above included a total amount of Euro 897 million outstanding in commercial paper issued by Rio Forte Investments, S.A. (“Rioforte”, an holding company located in Luxemburg, mainly for the non-financial investments of the Espírito Santo Group), which was contributed to the Oi share capital increase as part of PT Assets. The composition of the outstanding amount is as follows:

 

·                  Euro 200 million subscribed by Portugal Telecom on 15 April 2014 and transferred to PT Portugal on 5 May 2014, the maturity of which was on 15 July 2014;

·                  Euro 647 million subscribed by PT Finance on 15 April 2014, the maturity of which was on 15 July 2014;

·                  Euro 50 million subscribed by PT Finance on 17 April 2014, the maturity of which was on 17 July 2014.

 

The above mentioned commercial paper was not repaid by Rioforte on the respective maturity dates and RioForte has recently requested access to the controlled management regime under Luxemburg legislation, as it believes that it does not have the financial ability to comply with its financial commitments. This request was rejected by Luxemburg court and as a result Rioforte entered into liquidation. On 28 July 2014, following Rioforte default, Portugal Telecom and Oi reached an agreement to exchange the Euro 897 million treasury applications in Rioforte for 16.9% of Oi share capital, represented by 474,348,720 Oi ON shares plus 948,697,440 Oi PN shares. This agreement was approved by the General Shareholders Meeting of Portugal Telecom on 8 September 2014 and the Board of Directors of Oi and its execution is pending the approval of Comissão de Valores Mobiliários in Brazil. The terms of this agreement are as follows:

 

29



Table of Contents

 

·                  Portugal Telecom will exchange (“Exchange”) with Oi the treasury applications in Rio Forte Investments for 16.9% of Oi share capital, represented by 474,348,720 Oi ON shares plus 948,697,440 Oi PN shares (the “Oi Call Shares”);

·                  Portugal Telecom will be granted a non-transferrable American-type call (“Call”) to repurchase the Oi Call Shares (strike prices of R$2.0104 ON and R$1.8529 PN), which will be adjusted by the Brazilian CDI rate plus 1.5% per year;

·                  The Call on the Oi Call Shares will become effective on the date of the Exchange, will have a 6-year maturity, and the Oi Call Shares that Portugal Telecom has the right to call will be reduced by 10% at the end of the 1st year and by 18% per year thereafter;

·                  Any proceeds received as a result of a monetization of the Call through the issuance of derivatives or back to back instruments must be used to exercise the Call;

·                  Portugal Telecom can only acquire Oi or CorpCo shares through the exercise of the Call;

·                  The Call would be cancelled should (i) Portugal Telecom’s bylaws be voluntarily amended to remove the 10% voting limitation, (ii) Portugal Telecom act as a competitor to Oi, or (iii) Portugal Telecom breach certain obligations under the definitive documentation; and

·                  The contracts were signed on 8 September 2014 and the Exchange is subject to the approval of Comissão de Valores Mobiliários in Brazil and should be executed on or before March 2015.

 

In addition to the assets and liabilities included in the table above that were contributed to the Oi share capital increase, and since the merger between Portugal Telecom and CorpCo is no longer foreseeable in the short-term as before, Portugal Telecom and Oi are finalizing an agreement for the transfer to Oi of certain liabilities recorded at Portugal Telecom’s Statement of Financial Position, together with the related cash equivalents to settle those liabilities, which include accrued management costs and responsibilities and provisions for tax contingencies relating to former subsidiaries of Portugal Telecom, totaling approximately Euro 28 million.

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on 27 November 2014.

 

2.                  Basis of presentation

 

These interim consolidated financial statements have been presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). These financial statements do not include all the information required by the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013. In addition, further explanations for the main changes of revenues and costs are disclosed in our interim management report, which should be read in conjunction with these interim consolidated financial statements.

 

As mentioned in Note 1, subsequent to 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom no longer fully consolidates the majority of the businesses held prior to that date, which were contributed to the Oi share capital increase. The revenues, costs and cash flows of these businesses prior to that date are presented under captions of discontinued operations and as a result the Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows for the nine months period ended 30 September 2013 were restated accordingly (Note 3).

3.                  Changes in accounting policies

 

As referred to in the 2013 annual report, in the fourth quarter of 2013, Portugal Telecom chose to early adopt the “package of five” standards issued by the IASB in May 2011 (IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12 and revised versions of IAS 27 and IAS 28), although its application in the European Union was only mandatory as from 1 January 2014. The impacts of the adoption of IFRS 11 consisted of recognizing the investments in joint ventures by the equity method of accounting, including primarily Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders, which prior to the adoption of this standard were proportionally consolidated as allowed by IAS 31, standard that has been replaced by IFRS 11.

 

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 11 for the first time in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of 31 December 2013 presented in the Company’s last annual report already reflected the impacts of the adoption of this standard, but the Consolidated Income and Cash Flow Statements for the nine months period ended 30 September 2013 presented in last year’s interim report did not reflect the impacts of the adoption of IFRS 11 and therefore were restated accordingly.

 

In addition to the adoption of IFRS 11, the Company also restated the Consolidated Income and Cash Flow Statements for the nine and three-month periods ended 30 September 2013 by presenting the revenues, costs and cash flows from the businesses contributed to the Oi share capital increase under the captions of discontinued operations.

 

The impacts of the restatement (due to the adoption of IFRS 11 and the discontinued operations of PT Assets) of the Consolidated Income and Cash Flow Statements for the nine and three-month periods ended 30 September 2013 are as follows:

In addition to the changes in accounting policies referred to above, following Oi’s share capital increase on 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom changed the recognition criteria of the investment in Oi from the equity method of accounting to held for distribution to owners in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 (Note 16), and accordingly measured this investment at fair value based on the price of Oi shares, since that fair value is lower than the previous carrying amount. Any future distribution would be subject to formal approval by the Board of Directors of Portugal Telecom, the shareholders of Portugal Telecom at a meeting convened for that purpose, and other conditions. Regarding the recognition of changes in fair value of this investment, as mentioned below, changes attributable to the appreciation or depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro are recorded directly under the Statement of Comprehensive Income as foreign currency translation adjustments and the remaining changes are recorded in the Income Statement.

The reduction in total deferred tax assets reflects mainly the deferred tax assets from discontinued operations as at 5 May 2014 (Euro 341 million), which were no longer consolidated as from that date, and the write-off of deferred tax assets relating to tax losses (Euro 208 million). These deferred tax assets relating to tax losses were recorded at Portugal Telecom holding company in connection with the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies. This write-off was included under the results of discontinued operations as those tax losses became non-recoverable following the discontinuing of the businesses that supported the tax consolidation group.

 

The reduction in total deferred tax liabilities reflects mainly the deferred tax liabilities from discontinued operations as at 5 May 2014 (Euro 229 million), which were no longer consolidated as from that date, and the reversal of a deferred tax liability of Euro 13 million recorded at Portugal Telecom corresponding to the tax effect on the convertible option included in the exchangeable bond that was also contributed to the Oi share capital increase.

These repayments were classified as cash receipts from investing activities of discontinued operations.

(ii)          The debentures as at 31 December 2013, amounting to approximately Euro 162 million, were issued by Banco Santander Brasil, S.A. and Dibens Leasing, S.A. and were subscribed by Brazilian subsidiaries of Portugal Telecom Group. Up to 5 May 2014, debentures included under this caption were repaid and the related proceeds plus the proceeds from the cash capital increases realized by Bratel BV in Bratel Brasil and PTB2 were used to subscribe debentures issued by the controlling shareholders of Oi, as explained in Note 1.

 

16.           Non-current assets held for distribution to owners

 

On 28 March 2011, as referred to in Note 1, Portugal Telecom concluded the acquisition process of its investments in Oi and the agreements with the controlling shareholders of these companies. This investment was realized through the acquisition of a direct stake in this company and indirectly through the acquisition of stakes in the share capital of its controlling shareholders. Oi Group is the leading provider of telecommunication services in the Brazilian market, providing these services through Oi, S.A. and its subsidiaries.

 

As mentioned in Note 3, as from 5 May 2014, Portugal Telecom recognizes the investment in Oi in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5. This investment is therefore measured at fair value based on the quote price of Oi shares as at 30 September 2014, which is the best reference of fair value and is lower than the previous carrying amount.

 

Based on Oi’s stock price for purposes of the share capital increase as at 5 May 2014 (R$ 2.17 per ordinary share and R$ 2.00 per preferred share) and Oi’s stock price as at 30 September 2014 (R$ 1,79 per ordinary share and R$ 1,74 per preferred share), the investment in Oi was valued at Euro 2,244 million (R$ 6,914 million) as at 5 May 2014 and Euro 1,911 million (R$ 5,889 million) as at 30 September 2014.

 

The reduction in the investment in Oi between 5 May and 30 September 2014, amounting to Euro 334 million, reflects:

 

·                  A loss of Euro 338 million recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement under the caption “Net losses on financial assets and other investments”, corresponding to the change in the fair value of the investment in Oi due to the reduction in the price of Oi’s shares, totaling R$1,024 million;

·                  A gain of Euro 4 million recorded directly in other comprehensive income, reflecting the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro between 5 May and 30 September 2014.

 

The reduction in the investment in Oi between 30 June and 30 September 2014, amounting to Euro 321 million, reflects:

 

·                  A loss of Euro 266 million recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement under the caption “Net losses on financial assets and other investments”, corresponding to the change in the fair value of the investment in Oi due to the reduction in the price of Oi’s shares, totaling R$806 million;

Equity in losses of joint ventures, recognized in accordance with the equity method of accounting, amounted to Euro 38 million in the four months period ended 30 April 2014 and Euro 68 million in the nine months period ended 30 September 2013. The reduction in these losses reflects mainly (1) a capital gain recorded by Oi in the first quarter of 2014 relating to the disposal of mobile telecommunication towers, amounting to R$ 1,247 million (equivalent to approximately Euro 60 million corresponding to Portugal Telecom’s share, net of taxes), and (2) lower interest expenses from Oi’s controlling shareholders, which in 2014 relate to only four months as compared to nine months in 2013. These effects were partially offset by higher interest costs, higher net other financial expenses and lower revenues at Oi.

The decrease of Euro 4,537 million in total tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill, reflects primarily:

 

·                  Capital expenditures of discontinued operations between 1 January and 5 May 2014, amounting to Euro 130 million;

·                  Depreciation and amortization costs of discontinued operations between 1 January and 5 May 2014, amounting to Euro 231 million;

·                  The carrying value of total tangible and intangible assets (including goodwill) of discontinued operations as at 5 May 2014, amounting to Euro 4,433 million, which were transferred to Oi under its share capital increase (Note 1).

 

19.       Post retirement benefits

 

As at 31 December 2013, the projected post retirement benefits obligations, which relate to pension complements and healthcare benefits, totaled Euro 494 million and the fair value of plan assets amounted to Euro 386 million. In addition, Portugal Telecom had liabilities with salaries payable to suspended and pre-retired employees amounting to Euro 852 million, resulting in net benefits obligations of Euro 959 million as at 31 December 2013.

 

These obligations were transferred to Oi in connection with its share capital increase and amounted to Euro 871 million as at 5 May 2014, a reduction of Euro 88 million compared to the balance as at 31 December 2013, reflecting payments of salaries to suspended and pre-retired employees (Euro 50 million), payments of healthcare expenses (Euro 7 million) and net actuarial gains recorded in the period (Euro 28 million), partially offset by post retirement benefits costs amounting to Euro 7 million. Net actuarial gains reflected the difference between the actual and the estimated return on plan assets.

·                  The total gross debt amounting to Euro 8,051 million that was contributed to Oi on 5 May 2014 as part of PT Assets in connection with Oi’s share capital increase subscribed by Portugal Telecom;

·                  The repayment of the liability related to equity swaps on treasury shares following the physical exercise of these contracts on 7 May 2014, through cash that remained at Portugal Telecom after for that purpose the Oi share capital increased. Following this repayment, Portugal Telecom holds directly 20,640,000 of its own shares and as a result recorded a non-distributable reserve for the acquisition cost of those shares, amounting to Euro 178,071,827.

21.       Provisions

 

As at 30 September 2014, this caption corresponds mainly to provisions for income tax contingencies. The reduction compared to 31 December 2013 reflects the provisions from discontinued operations as at 5 May 2014 (Euro 54 million) that were transferred to Oi in connection with its share capital increase.

 

22.       Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

 

(a)         Short-term financial applications

 

These captions include basically cash receipts from the short-term applications matured, net of cash payments related to new short-term financial applications entered into. Net cash receipts amounted to Euro 188,014,938 in the nine months period ended 30 September 2014, compared to net cash payments of Euro 45,993,327 in the same period of last year. In the nine months period ended 30 September 2014, net cash receipts relate mainly to the settlement of outstanding applications by Bratel Brasil up to 5 May 2014, when it used the proceeds from these applications together with the proceeds from a share capital increase realised by Bratel BV to subscribe a portion of the convertible debentures issued by certain entities that directly or indirectly control AG and LF, as mentioned in Notes 1 and 22(c).

 

(b)         Cash receipts resulting from dividends received

 

This caption corresponds to dividends received from Oi in the nine months period ended 30 September 2013.

 

(c)          Payments resulting from financial investments

 

This caption corresponds to the total amount of R$ 4,788 million (Euro 1,555 million) paid by Bratel Brasil and PTB2 to subscribe debentures convertible into shares of certain companies that directly or indirectly control AG and LF, the proceeds of which were ultimately used by AG and LF to repay its indebtness and to subscribe convertible debentures to be issued by Telemar Participações, that also used the related proceeds to repay its own indebtness, as explained in more detail in Note 1.

 

(d)         Payments resulting from loans obtained

 

In the nine months period ended 30 September 2014, payments resulting from loans obtained, amounting to Euro 73,246,846, reflect primarily the repayment of the equity swap, amounting to Euro 73,210,079 (Note 20), and payments relating to finance lease contracts.

 

(e)          Change in cash and cash equivalents from discontinued operations

Cash flows from discontinuing operations in the nine months period ended 30 September 2014 correspond mainly to the cash flows up to 5 May 2014 from the businesses discontinued and contributed to the Oi share capital increase on that date, as compared to cash flows for a nine months period in 2013, which explains the lower cash flows from operating activities.

 

42



Table of Contents

 

The change in cash flows from investing activities reflects the reduced number of months of those cash flows in 2014, as explained above, and the lower payments resulting from capital expenditures reflecting the decreased investments as a result of strong investments in past years, both on FTTH and 4G-LTE networks. These effects were partially offset by the proceeds received in June 2013 in connection with the sale of the equity investment in CTM (Euro 336 million), as referred to in Note 12.

 

The change in cash flows from financing activities reflects mainly the cash proceeds resulting from the increase in outstanding commercial paper due, as mentioned in Note 20, while in the same period of last year total gross debt remained broadly stable.

a) Associated companies and joint ventures

 

Portugal Telecom maintained influence over the companies identified below until Oi’s share capital increase on 5 May 2014, when it contributed to Oi its 100% interest in PT Portugal, including the indirect investments in these associated companies. Therefore, since as at 30 September 2014 Portugal Telecom no longer has a direct interest in those associated companies, the tables below present the balances as at 31 December 2013 between Portugal Telecom Group and its associated companies and joint ventures, and the transactions between Portugal Telecom Group and those same entities occurred during the four months period ended 30 April 2014, prior to Oi’s share capital increase, and the nine months period ended 30 September 2013:

Caixa Geral de Depósitos does not have a qualified interest above 2% in Portugal Telecom since 25 October 2013.

 

c) Other

 

The following amounts were paid to board members and key employees:

 

·                  In the nine months period ended 30 September 2014, fixed remunerations of board members, which were established by the Remunerations Committee, amounted to Euro 3.54 million.

·                  In the nine months period ended 30 September 2014, variable remunerations relating to the year 2013 and other compensation paid to executive board members totalled Euro 4.69 million.

·                  After the Remunerations Committee assessed that the criteria established in the remunerations policy had been fully complied with, a total amount of Euro 4.89 million was paid to executive board members in the nine months period ended 30 September 2014 regarding the 50% portion of the 2010 variable remunerations that had been deferred for a three year period.

·                  During the nine months period ended 30 September 2014, key members of Portugal Telecom’s management received fixed and variable remunerations amounting to Euro 1.1 million and Euro 0.3 million, respectively.

 

24.           Subsequent events

 

·                  Since 30 September 2014, the price of Oi’s shares experienced a significant reduction. As at 26 November 2014, the price of Oi’s ordinary and preferred shares was R$1.50 and R$1.41, respectively, and as a result the Company’s investment as of that date amounted to Euro 1,543 million.

 

·                  On 9 November 2014, Terra Peregrin - Participações SGPS, S.A. published a preliminary announcement for the launch of a public takeover bid for the acquisition of the total ordinary and category A shares, representative of the whole share capital and voting rights of Portugal Telecom (including the shares corresponding to the share capital of Portugal Telecom which are underlying to the ADRs). The offeror’s voting rights are entirely attributable to Mrs. Isabel dos Santos and/or one or more companies (with registered offices in Portugal or abroad) in a control or group relationship with the offeror and/or with Mrs. Isabel dos Santos.

 

The offer is general and voluntary and the consideration offered, to be paid in cash, is of €1.35 per share, which represents a premium of circa 11% in relation to the last closing price of the shares of Portugal Telecom on 7 November 2014 (€1.217). The effectiveness of the offer is subject to the acquisition of, at least, 50.01% of the voting rights corresponding to the share capital of Portugal Telecom.

 

According to the preliminary announcement, the launch of the offer is subject to:

 

11.       Obtaining the prior registration of the offer with the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (“CMVM”);

 

12.       The declaration by the CMVM of the derogation of the duty to launch the subsequent takeover bid, as a result of the acquisition of shares of Portugal Telecom in the context of this offer;

 

13.       Obtaining the legal and administrative approvals and authorisations that may be required under Portuguese law and/or any applicable foreign legislation, notably from the competent competition authorities in Portugal, Brazil and/or the European Union (however, the offeror understands that its offer does not entail any competition issues on any jurisdiction);

14.       Obtaining the authorisation of the shareholders’ general meeting of Portugal Telecom (even if conditional upon the success of the offer) for the offeror to acquire a shareholding greater than 10% of the shares representing the share capital of Portugal Telecom, without the establishment of any other limit or condition;

 

15.       The amendment of the articles of association of Portugal Telecom (even if conditional upon the success of the offer or even if only applicable to the offeror or entities in the position of the offeror) so that there is no limit on the counting of votes issued by a single shareholder, by itself or through a representative, in its own name or as the representative of another shareholder;

 

16.       The adoption of resolutions by the competent body or bodies of Portugal Telecom and/or of Oi and/or of other companies involved in the Business Combination, aimed at the immediate suspension (up to the 30th day following the physical and financial settlement of the offer) of the process of the Business Combination;

 

17.       The elimination or non-enshrinement (as applicable) of limits in the articles of association on the counting of votes issued by a single shareholder, by itself or through a representative, in its own name or as representative of another, regardless of the shareholding that each shareholder holds in CorpCo and/or Oi (even if conditional upon the success of the offer or even if only applicable to Portugal Telecom and to the offeror or entities in the position of the offeror);

 

18.       The alteration of the terms of the Call Option agreed with Oi (even if conditional upon the success of the offer) so to (i) eliminate the obligation imposed on Portugal Telecom to only be able to acquire shares of Oi or of CorpCo by exercising the Call Option and (ii) not to grant Oi with the option to cancel or extinguish the Call Option in case of (a) amendment of the articles of association of Portugal Telecom as referred to in paragraph 5 above, and (b) direct or indirect carrying on by Portugal Telecom of activities that compete with those carried on by Oi and of the entities it controls in the countries in which they operate;

 

19.       The modification (even if conditional upon the success of the offer) of any instruments that establish negative consequences in the event of a change of control of Portugal Telecom;

 

20.       The adoption of resolutions by the competent body or bodies of Portugal Telecom, and/or of Oi, and/or of CorpCo, and/or of companies that are their controlling shareholders, and/or of other companies involved in processes, whether or not they have been announced, to divest or encumber relevant assets, that approve the interruption or the non-pursuit, in any form, of said processes, or the rejection of any proposals presented in this context.

 

In addition, the preliminary announcement mentions several assumptions on which the offer is based.

 

On 10 November, Oi published an announcement in which it stated that the conditions for the launch of the offer whose adoption would imply the alteration of the terms of the Business Combination, recently renegotiated by Portugal Telecom and Oi — notably, the conditions mentioned in paragraphs 6, 7, 8 and 9 above — were unacceptable. Oi also mentioned that it would not proceed to any alteration of the corporate acts, definitive agreements and other instruments executed in order to meet any of the conditions for the launch of the offer.

 

Further to Oi’s announcement, on 17 November 2014, Terra Peregrin - Participações SGPS, S.A. issued an announcement in which it stated its willingness to waive certain conditions previously established for the launch of the offer over Portugal Telecom’s shares:

 

e.               Firstly, the offeror stated it was willing to waive the condition mentioned in paragraph 6 above. However, the offeror added a new assumption of the offer, consisting on the non-conclusion of the process of the Business Combination before the 15th day prior to the physical and financial settlement of the offer.

 

f.                In addition, the offeror stated it was willing to waive the condition mentioned in paragraph 7 above.

g.               Thirdly, the offeror stated it was willing to waive the condition mentioned in paragraph 8 above. Within this context, the offeror stated it would amend this condition so that it would consist on the alteration (even if conditional upon the success of the offer) of the instruments which grant Oi with the option to cancel or extinguish the Call Option in case the situations mentioned in (a) and (b) of paragraph 8 above occur, in such a way that the Call Option would only be granted to Portugal Telecom’s shareholders who do not sell their shares in the offer, i.e., in such a way that the offeror does not benefit from the Call Option.

 

h.              Finally, the offeror stated it was willing to waive the conditions mentioned in paragraphs 9 and 10 above. However, the offeror added a new assumption of the offer, consisting on the inexistence of (i) any instruments that establish negative consequences in the event of a change of control of Portugal Telecom, and (ii) resolutions to divest or encumber relevant assets by the competent body or bodies of Portugal Telecom, and/or of Oi, and/or of CorpCo, and/or of companies that are their controlling shareholders, and/or of other companies involved in processes, whether or not they have been announced, to divest or encumber relevant assets.

 

On the same date, the CMVM issued an announcement on the alteration of the conditions by the offeror and stated that (i) the offeror had announced its willingness to waive or amend certain conditions included in the preliminary announcement for the launch of the offer, and that any definitive decision should be formalised through an alteration of the conditions established in said preliminary announcement and be included in the request for registration to be presented to the CMVM until 1 December 2014; and (ii) since the consideration mentioned in the preliminary announcement does not comply with the weighted average price in the six-month period prior to the preliminary announcement, the CMVM would evaluate, at the time of the registration of the offer, the justification and equity of the consideration proposed, to be duly explained by the offeror in its request for the registration of the offer, and then decide whether the offer should be deemed as derogating the duty to launch the subsequent takeover bid as a result of the acquisition of more than 50% of the voting rights of Portugal Telecom.

 

Under article 181 of the Portuguese Securities Code, the Board of Directors will issue a statement within 8 days counting from the reception of the draft of the prospectus and of the offer announcement that shall be delivered by the offeror until 1 December 2014.

 

·                  In November 2014, Africatel GmbH and Portugal Telecom were informed that Samba Luxco S.à.r.L. (“Samba”), holder of a 25% interest in Africatel Holdings B.V., had initiated an arbitration proceeding against Africatel GmbH (a former subsidiary of Portugal Telecom now owned by Oi S.A.) and Portugal Telecom in the Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce relating to its purported put right to sell a interest in Africatel Holdings B.V., which Samba believes was triggered by the transfer of the shares of Africatel GmbH to Oi S.A. in the share capital increase of Oi in May 2014, among other claims. Both Africatel GmbH and Portugal Telecom intend to vigorously defend this proceeding.

 

Under the Subscription Agreement entered into by Portugal Telecom and Oi S.A. in connection with the Oi S.A. share capital increase, Oi S.A. agreed to succeed to Portugal Telecom in any right or obligation contracted by it, as long as the agreements generating that right or obligation have been indicated in the documents for the global offering that formed part of the Oi share capital increase.  The prospectus for the Oi S.A. share capital increase disclosed, among other things, that Samba had asserted that the business combination between Portugal Telecom and Oi S.A. triggered certain rights under the Africatel shareholders’ agreement, including a put right in respect of Samba’s interest in Africatel Holdings B.V.

 

·                  On 8 October 2014, some shareholders of the Company brought a civil lawsuit before the District Court of Lisbon (Tribunal Judicial da Comarca de Lisboa) seeking a declaration of invalidity and/or the nullification of a shareholders resolution that was approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 8 September 2014, on the grounds of alleged impediment to vote of certain shareholders of the Company, violation of the purpose or object of the Company and abusive vote. The Company was summoned in order to present its statement defense on 13 October 2014 and submitted it on 12 November 2014.

In addition, on 19 September 2014, a shareholder holding 500 shares of the Company has initiated an injunction proceedings before the District Court of Lisbon (Tribunal Judicial da Comarca de Lisboa) in order to suspend the shareholders resolution that was approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 8 September 2014. Although the claimant lacks legal standing for the required purpose — to the extent that such proceedings could only be initiated by shareholders who, alone or jointly, hold shares corresponding to at least 0.5% of the share capital -, the Court ordered the Company to be summoned in order to present its statement of opposition, which occurred last 5 November 2014. The Company submitted its statement of opposition on 17 November 2014 and now waits for a Court decision on the granting of the protective order.

 

·                  On 18 November 2014, at Oi’s Extraordinary General Meeting, shareholders approved a reverse stock split of all the ordinary and preferred shares issued by Oi at a ratio of 10: 1, such that each lot of ten shares of each class was grouped into a single share of the same class, with a related amendment to Article 5 of Oi’s bylaws.

 

As a result of the reverse stock split, the current 2,861,553,190 ordinary shares and 5,723,166,910 preferred shares now represent 286,155,319 ordinary shares and 572,316,691 preferred shares, respectively, with the resulting amendment of Article 5 of Oi’s bylaws. Similarly, at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 18 November 2014, Oi’s shareholders also approved the amendment of the first paragraph of Article 5 of Oi’s bylaws to reflect the changes in share capital and number of shares of Oi approved by the Board, such that the share capital is represented by 858,472,010 shares, comprised of 286,155,319 ordinary shares and 572,316,691 preferred shares, without par value.

 

The reverse stock split proposal was aimed at reducing the volatility of Oi’s shares resulting from the reduced share price in the market, in order to protect Oi and its shareholders from percentage fluctuations resulting from small changes in the share price and, at the same time, to prevent shareholders, especially foreign investment funds, from being precluded from investing in Oi shares because of its share price. In addition, the reverse stock split was aimed at meeting the requirements of NYSE Listing Rules, which require, among other things, that the average closing price of the shares of listed companies remain equal to or greater than USD1 per share during any consecutive period of 30 trading days.
