1. Vivo Participações S.A. (“Vivo Part.”), Telemig Celular Participações S.A., ("TCP") and Telemig Celular S.A.

(together, the “Corporate Restructuring”), the Companies will not reconsider the resolutions passed at the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings of the Companies held on July 27, 2009, which approved the Corporate Restructuring. Therefore, as the Corporate Restructuring will proceed, the payment to the shareholders that exercised the withdrawal right will be made as of September 08, 2009 as described in item 4 herein below.  

 

2. We also announce that the shareholders of TC and TCP approved the Corporate Restructuring and are entitled to fractional shares of Vivo Part., as a result of the exchange ratio, will be paid their pro rata portion of the proceeds of the sale of the aggregate fractional shares at market prices, net of certain fees and expenses, accrued in auction (or auctions, as the case may be), to be held at BM&FBovespa - Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros beginning on September 24, 2009. The payment referenced herein to the shareholders will be made up to 5 (five) business days from the last auction, which date will be timely disclosed. For the purposes discussed herein, as disclosed in the notice of material fact dated as of May 29, 2009 (“Notice of Material Fact”), the exchange ratio of shares approved was as follows: TC/TCP Ratio: for each common or preferred share of TC, 17.40 shares of TCP of the respective class were issued, and (ii) TCP/Vivo Part. Ratio: for each common or preferred share of TCP, 1.37 shares of Vivo Part. of the respective class were issued.
