Preliminary Statement
This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment) filed by Telemar Participações S.A. (TmarPart) and Valverde Participações S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TmarPart (Valverde, and together with TmarPart, the Reporting Persons) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 27, 2009 (the Initial 13D) by TmarPart, Tele Norte Leste Participações S.A. (TNL), Telemar Norte Leste S.A. (Telemar) and Coari Participações S.A. (Coari), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 1) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2012 by the Reporting Persons, as amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 2) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 8, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 3, the Initial 13D as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and as further amended by this Amendment, this Statement) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2014 by the Reporting Persons, by furnishing the information set forth below. Except as otherwise specified in this Amendment, all previous Items are unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Initial 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3.
On February 19, 2014, amendments to the Shareholders Agreements of TmarPart were signed, establishing the commitment of the shareholders of TmarPart to exercise their voting rights in TmarPart, and also for their representatives on the Boards of Directors of Oi S.A. (Oi) and TmarPart to exercise their rights to vote, in order to approve the Business Combination as well as agreements to terminate these Shareholders Agreements upon the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, Portugal Telecom, Caravelas Fundo de Investimento em Ações (Caravelas), an investment vehicle managed by Banco BTG Pactual S.A., Bratel, TmarPart, Andrade Gutierrez S.A. (AGSA) and Jereissati Telecom S.A. entered into a Temporary Voting Agreement to take all the actions required for among other things, the effective completion of the Merger of Shares.
As part of the Business Combination, on May 5, 2014, Oi completed a share capital increase (the Oi Capital Increase), pursuant to which Portugal Telecom subscribed for the newly-issued shares of Oi through the contribution by Portugal Telecom to Oi of all of the shares of PT Portugal, SGPS, S.A. (PT Portugal), which, at the time of the transfer, owned all of (i) Portugal Telecoms operational assets, except direct and indirect interests held in Oi, Contax Participações S.A. and Bratel, BV and (ii) Portugal Telecoms liabilities as of the date of contribution. The assets of PT Portugal as of the date of the contribution of PT Portugal by Portugal Telecom to Oi in the Oi Capital Increase included an investment in commercial paper in the aggregate amount of 897 million issued by Rio Forte Investments S.A. (Rio Forte). In July 2014, the cure period for payment of the commercial paper held by PT Portugal and Portugal Telecom International Finance B.V. (PTIF) (together, the Oi Subsidiaries) expired without this commercial paper having been paid.
As a result, on July 14, 2014, Oi and Portugal Telecom entered into a memorandum of understanding (Second MOU) to establish the basis of an agreement between them in relation to the commercial paper of Rio Forte (the Securities). The parties agreed that the principal documents would be an exchange agreement, pursuant to which Oi would exchange the Securities for Common Shares and Oi preferred shares held by Portugal Telecom (the Exchange Agreement), and a call option agreement, pursuant to which Oi would grant to Portugal Telecom an option to purchase Oi shares in the same amount and type as the exchanged shares (the Call Option Agreement, together with the Exchange Agreement, the Definitive Agreements).
On September 8, 2014, an extraordinary shareholders meeting of Portugal Telecom approved the execution by Portugal Telecom of the Definitive Agreements. The Definitive Agreements were executed on September 8, 2014.
As a result of the transactions contemplated in the Definitive Agreements, the agreements entered into on February 19, 2014 were amended to provide for, among other things: (i) the extension of deadlines for the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the elimination of references to the abandoned merger of Portugal Telecom into TmarPart; and (iii) the limitation of voting rights of Portugal Telecom in the by-laws of TmarPart to a maximum of 7.5% (the Business Combination Agreements).
The Reporting Persons are filing this Amendment to revise information previously reported in light of the approval and execution of the Definitive Agreements and the Business Combination Agreements.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 of Amendment No. 3 is amended to add the following paragraphs:
Definitive Agreements Implementing the Second MOU
The Definitive Agreements are intended to permit the parties to proceed with the implementation of the Business Combination, including the Merger of Shares, with the necessary adjustments.
The Exchange Agreement among the Oi Subsidiaries, Portugal Telecom, Oi and TmarPart provides for an exchange pursuant to which Portugal Telecom will acquire the Securities from the Oi Subsidiaries and, in exchange, Portugal Telecom will transfer to the Oi Subsidiaries the Exchanged Shares (defined below) and (2) the Call Option Agreement among the Oi Subsidiaries, Portugal Telecom, Oi and TmarPart provides that the Oi Subsidiaries will grant Portugal Telecom a call option to purchase Common Shares and Oi preferred shares of the same number and class as the Exchanged Shares (or upon completion of the Merger of Shares, common shares of TmarPart) (the Call Option).
Exchange Agreement
The Exchange Agreement provides that, subject to the conditions described under Conditions to the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement below, the Oi Subsidiaries and Portugal Telecom will effect the Exchange, whereby the Oi Subsidiaries will transfer the Securities to Portugal Telecom and Portugal Telecom will transfer to the Oi Subsidiaries an aggregate of 474,348,720 Common Shares and 948,697,440 Oi preferred shares, representing 16.9% of the outstanding share capital of Oi, including 17.1% of the outstanding voting capital of Oi prior to giving effect to the Exchange (or in the event that the completion of the Exchange occurs following the Merger of Shares, 1,348,193,932 common shares of TmarPart) (collectively, the Exchanged Shares).
The Exchange of the Exchanged Shares for the Securities is expected to occur no later than three business days after all the conditions set forth under Conditions to the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement below have been satisfied. The Exchange Agreement may be terminated by Portugal Telecom and/or by Oi and TmarPart if the Exchange does not occur by March 31, 2015.
The Exchange Agreement further provides that once the Exchange has been consummated, Oi, TmarPart and the Oi Subsidiaries will grant Portugal Telecom and its directors a release in relation to the subscription for or acquisition of the Securities and their later contribution to Oi in the Oi Capital Increase, as well as an express waiver by Oi and the Oi Subsidiaries of any right to file a claim or to claim indemnification (with the express and exclusive exception of claims relating to the right of recourse against Portugal Telecom with respect to third-party claims) by virtue of the Securities and their contribution to Oi in the Oi Capital Increase or any omissions or incomplete information related specifically to the Securities, their situation and the risks involved.
The Exchange Agreement is governed by Brazilian law, and any dispute with respect to the Exchange Agreement is to be resolved through arbitration in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil before an arbitration panel administered by the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce.
Call Option Agreement
Pursuant to the Call Option Agreement, Oi and the Oi Subsidiaries have granted to Portugal Telecom (subject to the condition described under Conditions to the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement below) a nontransferable Call Option to acquire the Exchanged Shares (collectively, the Option Shares). The total number of Option Shares is subject to adjustment to reflect any split or reverse split of shares of Oi or TmarPart, as applicable.
Portugal Telecom will be entitled to exercise the Call Option, in whole or in part, at any time, during a period of six years from the date of the consummation of the Exchange (the Closing Date). The original number of Option Shares that Portugal Telecom is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Call Option will be reduced (1) by 10% of the
5
original number of Option Shares upon the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (2) by 18% of the original number of Option Shares on each successive anniversary of the Closing Date thereafter, beginning on the second anniversary of the Closing Date.
The Call Option exercise price will be R$1.8529 per Oi preferred share and R$2.0104 per Common Share (and, if applicable, R$2.0104 per common share issued by TmarPart), in each case adjusted by the Brazilian Interbank Certificate of Deposit (Certificado de Depósito Interbancário) rate plus 1.5% per annum, calculated pro rata, from the date of the Exchange and through the date of effective payment of the exercise price, in whole or in part, of the Call Option. The exercise price of the Call Option must be paid in cash, in immediately available funds, on the date of the transfer of the Option Shares.
The Call Option Agreement further provides for a possibility of settlement in cash by the grantors, in the event that, upon exercise of the Call Option by Portugal Telecom, the Oi Subsidiaries and/or any other subsidiary of Oi do not hold in treasury a sufficient number of Oi shares or TmarPart shares, as applicable, to deliver to Portugal Telecom. In such case, the Call Option may be settled by payment in cash by the Oi Subsidiaries to Portugal Telecom of an amount corresponding to the difference between the market price for the Option Shares on the business day immediately preceding the exercise of the Call Option and the applicable exercise price corresponding to those shares.
So long as the Call Option is in effect, Portugal Telecom will be precluded from acquiring Oi shares or TmarPart shares, directly or indirectly, other than through the exercise of the Call Option. Portugal Telecom may not assign or transfer the Call Option and may not grant any rights associated with the Call Option, including any guarantees, without Ois consent, except that Portugal Telecom may make a one-time assignment to a subsidiary of Portugal Telecom at least 99% of the voting and share capital of which is held by Portugal Telecom, and so long as Portugal Telecom remains jointly and severally liable under the Call Option Agreement with the subsidiary. If Portugal Telecom issues, directly or indirectly, derivative instruments indexed, backed by or related to shares of Oi or TmarPart, it must immediately use all the financial proceeds received, directly or indirectly, in these transactions for the acquisition of Option Shares.
Oi may terminate the Call Option if (1) the bylaws of Portugal Telecom are voluntarily amended to delete or amend the provision that limits the voting rights of any shareholder to 10% of the total voting rights of Portugal Telecom, (2) Portugal Telecom begins to compete with Oi; or (3) Portugal Telecom breaches certain obligations under the Call Option Agreement.
The Call Option Agreement is governed by Brazilian law, and any dispute with respect to the Call Option Agreement is to be resolved through arbitration in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil before an arbitration panel administered by the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce.
As further detailed under Conditions to the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement below, the Call Option will automatically expire if the Exchange is not implemented by March 31, 2015.
Conditions to the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement
The execution of the Exchange Agreement and the Call Option Agreement required the approval of (1) the board of directors of Portugal Telecom, which approved the terms and conditions of the Definitive Agreements on July 28, 2014 and approved the proposal submitted to the extraordinary general shareholders meeting of Portugal Telecom on August 13, 2014, (2) the shareholders of Portugal Telecom, which approved Definitive Agreements at an extraordinary general shareholders meeting on September 8, 2014 and (3) the board of directors of Oi, which approved Definitive Agreements on September 8, 2014.

6
