RE.: Information on fine imposed under the terms of Sections 1 and 3 paragraphs d) and h) of Law No. 27,442 and Section 46 paragraph b) of Law No. 25,156.

 

I am writing to you in my capacity as attorney in fact of Telecom Argentina S.A. (“Telecom Argentina” or the “Company”), to inform you that on Friday, January 13, 2023, the Company was notified of the Resolution of the Secretary of Commerce No. 2023-8-APN-SC#MEC dated January 11, 2023, which imposes on Telecom Argentina and Arte Radiotelevisivo Argentino S.A. “a single fine of Pesos One Hundred Fifty Million (P$150,000,000) pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1 and 3 paragraphs d) and h) of Law No. 27,442 and Section 46 paragraph b) of Law No. 25,156.”

 

This is due to the fact that the Company has been included in Docket No. EX2018-11718334-APN-DGD#MP regarding an alleged anti-competitive practice at the National Commission for the Defense of Competition’s (Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia) own initiative.

 

In this regard, Telecom Argentina, with the assistance of its legal counsel, will appeal this Resolution.

 

Sincerely,

 

	Telecom Argentina S.A.
	/s/ Andrea V. Cerdán
	Attorney-in-fact
