RE.: Report of complaint in the case entitled "ASSOCIATION FOR THE DEFENSE OF USERS AND CONSUMERS V/ TELECOM ARGENTINA S.A. ACCORDING TO SUMMARY TRIAL" (Expte 1497/2016).

 

Dear Sirs,

 

I am writing to you in my capacity as Attorney in fact of Telecom Argentina S.A. ("Telecom Argentina" or "the Company"), in order to inform that my represented has been notified of the complaint indicated in the reference, initiated by the "Association for the Defense of Users and Consumers" ("ADUC"), proceeding before the Lower National Court in Civil and Commercial Federal No. 9, Secretariat No. 18, CABA.

 

The complaint filed by ADUC seeks, in summary, that: i) Telecom Argentina is ordered to cease charging its customers the fee called "internal maintenance service"; ii) the amounts received from the aforementioned fee will be reimbursed to each of the users; iii) a civil penalty is applied in the terms of art. 52 bis Law 24,240.

 

The aforementioned claim is for an undetermined amount.

 

The complaint was answered and with the assistance of its legal advisors, the Company will exercise the defense of its interests within the framework of this action. In the opinion of these legal advisors, the arguments presented in the complaint do not have the prospect of generating a significant adverse resolution for the Company.

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Telecom Argentina S.A.

/s/ Andrea Cerdán

Attorney in fact
