(“Telemig Celular” or the “Company”) Voluntary Public Offers for the acquisition of such preferred shares, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Instruction No. 361, of March 5, 2002 (“CVM Instruction 361”), of the Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários - “CVM”) and the terms and conditions of this Notice stated below.
 
None of the preferred shares of Telemig Celular are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or listed on any U.S. national securities exchange; however, U.S. holders of these shares may participate in these offers on the terms and conditions set forth in this notice.
 
1.  The Voluntary Offers

1.1.  Legal Grounds.

On August 2, 2007, Vivo Par entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Telpart Participações S.A. (“Telpart”), for the acquisition of control of Telemig Participações and Tele Norte Celular Participações S.A. (“Tele Norte”), and indirectly, the acquisition of control of Telemig Celular and Amazônia Celular S.A., having also acquired the preferred shares of the referred companies held by Telpart. The consummation of the acquisition mentioned above (“Acquisition of Control”) was subject to some conditions precedent among which was ANATEL prior approval.

The execution, by Vivo Par, of the SPA was approved by Vivo Par’s Board of Directors at a meeting held on August 2, 2007, “ad referendum” of the Shareholders’ Meeting, which was held on August 21, 2007, and approved the terms and conditions of the transaction. Also on August 02, 2007 the Board of Directors of Vivo Par approved, upon completion of the Acquisition of Control, the carrying out of the Voluntary Tender Offers for acquisition of preferred shares object of this Notice, pursuant to the Notice of Material Fact published on August 2, 2007 (“Notice of Material Fact”).

In view of the Acquisition of Control, Vivo Par undertook the obligation to make a public offer for acquisition of common shares to comply with the provisions of article 254-A of Law 6,404/76, object of other notice, to be submitted to CVM approval within the legal term. However, on December 20, 2007, Vivo Par entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Telemar Norte Leste S.A. (“Telemar”) for the sale to the latter of all shares of Tele Norte acquired from Telpart, for the same price, as disclosed by the Vivo Par in the notice of material fact dated of December 20, 2007.

On the same day, Vivo Par transferred the totality of the common and preferred shares of Tele Norte acquired from Telpart, to Telemar, for the same price and same conditions set forth in the SPA with Telpart.
