("Highline"), that presented, through Oi's financial advisor, Bank of America Merrill Lynch ("BofA"), the best binding offer ("Offer"), above the minimum price established, for acquisition, in a competitive process, under the terms of articles 60, 141, II and 142, II of Law No. 11,101/05 with the Brazilian Reorganization and Bankruptcy Statute (Lei de Recuperações e Falências - "LRF"), of the mobile telephony operation of Oi and its subsidiaries ("UPI Mobile Assets"), as provided for in the amendment to the Judicial Recovery Plan (the "Amendment") filed with the 7th Corporate Court of Rio de Janeiro (the "RJ Court") on June 15, 2020.

Under the Agreement, the Company granted Highline exclusivity, subject to the terms and conditions provided for in the Agreement and maintaining the economic terms of the Offer, to negotiate the documents and attachments related to the Offer.

The Agreement aims (i) to guarantee security and speed to ongoing negotiations between the parties; and (ii) permit Oi, once the negotiation of the documents between the parties are satisfactorily concluded, to pre-qualify Highline, as a stalking horse, to participate in the competitive process of disposal of the UPI, thus guaranteeing the right to top other proposals received in that process.

The exclusivity agreement is effective until August 3, 2020, and may be extended by agreement between the Parties.

Oi reiterates its commitment to comply with the Strategic Plan and to focus on becoming the largest provider of telecommunications infrastructure in Brazil by expanding fiber optics and high-speed internet, offering businesses solutions and preparing for the development into 5G, with a focus on businesses with greater value-added, growth prospects and a vision for the future.

The Company will keep its shareholders and the market informed of any development regarding the subject matter of this Material Fact.
