NOTICE TO THE MARKET

Oi S.A. (“Oi,” Bovespa: OIBR3, OIBR4; NYSE: OIBR and OIBR.C) and Telemar Participações S.A. (“TmarPart” and, together with Oi, the “Companies”), given certain news published in the media regarding the business combination and the merging of the shareholder bases of Oi, Portugal Telecom SGPS S.A. and TmarPart (the “Transaction”), reiterate to their shareholders and the market in general that they are fully committed to migrating the shares of TmarPart, which will only have common shares of capital stock, to the Novo Mercado segment of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros – BM&FBOVESPA).

As previously disclosed by the Companies, the effective migration of TmarPart shares to the Novo Mercado segment is expected to occur upon the completion of the merger of shares of Oi and TmarPart (the “Merger of Shares”).

The Merger of Shares presupposes the prior authorization of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM) for the exchange and call option transactions involving shares issued by Oi (which were approved by the Boards of Directors of the Companies on September 8, 2014) and the registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of the TmarPart shares to be issued as part of the Merger of Shares. The Companies have already taken internal and external measures to implement these next steps.

As a result, the Companies reiterate that they are working to have the Merger of Shares approved within the first quarter of 2015, as previously disclosed in the Material Fact dated September 8, 2014.

Rio de Janeiro, October 13, 2014.
