FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BUENOS AIRES STOCK EXCHANGE

 

Dear Sirs,

 

RE.: COMMITTEE OF DISCLOSURE

 

I am writing you as Responsible for Market Relations of Telecom Argentina STET- France Telecom S.A. (“the Company”) to inform that the Company has implemented a “Committee of Disclosure” as a permanent internal body. Its aim will be verifying that the notorial information related to the Company and its controlled companies is gathered, processed and adequately controlled in order to prepare the 20-F Form to be submitted to the Securities & Exchange Commission as well as other reports containing notorial information that must be subject to public disclosure in Argentina and abroad.

 

The Committee of Disclosure is conformed by senior officials and their activity is subject to rules tending to ensure that the processing of the information to be disclosed has complied with the internal controls as well as the information procedures designed by the Company, prior to submitting it to the Chief Executive Officer to submit it in turn to the pertaining authorities and subsequent disclosure.

 

Considering that the regulations recently enforced in the country and in the United States of America regarding transparency of the public offer and corporate governance have particularly emphasized on the duty of public companies to provide accurate, complete and timely information as well as easily understandable, the Company has created the Committee of Disclosure as an additional body of control, in search for more safety and transparency in dealing with notorial information to its shareholders, to the markets, and to the regulatory entities.

 

Sincerely,

 

Pedro Insussarry

Responsible for Market Relations
