Confidential Disclaimers 16 Banco de Investimentos Credit Suisse (Brasil) S.A. (“Credit Suisse”) has been engaged by Net Serviços de Comunicação S.A. (“NET” or the “Company”) to render to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) a written opinion (the “Opinion”) as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the common shares, no par value (“NET Common Shares”), and preferred shares, no par value (“NET Preferred Shares” and, together with NET Common Shares, “NET Shares”), of the Company, other than Empresa Brasileira de Telecomunicações S.A. – Embratel (“Embratel”), Embratel Participações S.A. (“Embrapar” and, together with Embratel, the “Offerors”) and their respective affiliates, of the offer price to be paid in the Tender Offer (as defined below) to such holders, collectively as a group to the extent expressly specified therein. As more fully described in (i) the draft Notice of Unified Offer to Purchase Common Shares and Preferred Shares Issued by Net Serviços de Comunicação S.A. (Edital de Oferta Pública Unificada de Aquisição de Ações Ordinárias e Ações Preferenciais de Emissão da Net Serviços de Comunicação S.A.), publicly available on October 4, 2013, as filed by the Offerors with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários or the “CVM” and, such notice, the “Notice of Public Tender Offer”) and directed at holders of NET Shares that are not U.S. residents and (ii) Amendment No. 2 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO publicly filed on October 18, 2012 by the Offerors with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the draft Offer to Purchase, dated October 17, 2012, directed at holders of American Depositary Shares representing NET Preferred Shares (“NET ADS”) or holders of NET Shares that are U.S. residents (collectively, the “Schedule TO” and, together with the Notice of Public Tender Offer, the “Tender Offer Documents”), the Offerors will commence a mandatory change of control tender offer (oferta pública por alienação de controle) along with the voluntary delisting tender offer from the Level 2 special securities trading segment of the BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (“BM&FBovespa”) for NET Shares, including NET ADS, in accordance with Instrução CVM No. 361/2002, as amended (“Instrução CVM 361/2002”), and BM&FBovespa Corporate Level 2 By-Laws (Regulamento de Listagem do Nível 2 de Governança Corporativa da BM&FBOVESPA). These materials have been prepared by Credit Suisse for the Board in connection with the Opinion (the “Presentation”). The following information is important and should be read carefully in its entirety: 1. This Presentation has been prepared, together with the Opinion, for the information of the Board (in its capacity as such) in its evaluation of the Tender Offer in accordance with Item 5.8 of the Regulamento de Listagem do Nível 2 de Governança Corporativa da BM&FBOVESPA and is not intended for any other purpose or use, including, but not limited to, the purposes of Instrução CVM nº 361/2002, Instrução CVM nº 319/1999 and/or articles 8, 170, or any other provisions of Law nº 6404/1976 (“Lei das S.A.”). 2. This Presentation is not intended as the sole basis for the evaluation of the Tender Offer by the Board and does not comprise all information that may be deemed necessary for such purpose. This Presentation, and the analyses and other information contained herein, do not constitute advice or a recommendation to any shareholder as to whether such shareholder should tender shares in the Tender Offer or how any Board member or shareholder should otherwise act on any matter relating to the Tender Offer. The analyses in this Presentation and the Opinion do not address the relative merits of the Tender Offer as compared to alternative transactions or strategies that might be available to the Company or its shareholders, or the underlying business decision of the Board or any other party or entity with respect to the Tender Offer. Credit Suisse was not requested to, and did not, participate in the negotiation or structuring of the Tender Offer, and Credit Suisse was not requested to, and did not, solicit third-party indications of interest in acquiring all or any part of the Company. Further, Credit Suisse was not requested to, and did not, recommend the specific consideration payable in the Tender Offer, which offer price was determined by the Offerors, and the decision whether or not to recommend the Tender Offer is solely that of the Board. This Presentation and the Opinion are only one of many factors considered by the Board in its evaluation of the Tender Offer and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the Board or the Company’s management with respect to the Tender Offer or the offer price. 3. In preparing this Presentation, Credit Suisse, among other things, (i) reviewed the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended 2010, 2011 and 2012, audited by Ernst & Young, (ii) reviewed the financial statements of the Company for the first half of 2013, which were reviewed by Ernst & Young, (iii) reviewed the Tender Offer Documents and certain publicly available business and financial information relating to the Company, (iv) reviewed certain other information relating to the Company provided to or discussed with Credit Suisse by the Company, including financial forecasts for the fiscal years ending 2013 through 2022 and estimates approved for Credit Suisse’s use by the Board, (v) met with the senior management of the Company to discuss the business and prospects of the Company, (vi) considered certain financial and stock market data of the Company, and compared that data with similar data for other publicly held companies in businesses Credit Suisse deemed similar to that of the Company, (vii) considered, to the extent publicly available, the financial terms of certain other business combinations and transactions which had been effected or announced and (viii) considered such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria which Credit Suisse deemed relevant. Credit Suisse has been advised by the Company’s management that it is not aware of any relevant information that has been omitted or undisclosed to Credit Suisse. |
Confidential Disclaimers (cont’d) 17 4. In connection with its review, Credit Suisse did not independently verify any of the foregoing information and Credit Suisse assumed and relied upon such information being complete and accurate in all material respects. Credit Suisse utilized certain publicly available Brazilian reais to United States dollar exchange rate forecasts and assumed, at the direction of the Company, that such forecasts were reasonable to utilize for purposes of Credit Suisse’s analyses and opinion. Credit Suisse expresses no view or opinion as to any currency or exchange rate fluctuations between Brazilian and United States currencies and assumed, at the direction of the Company, that any such fluctuations would not in any respect be meaningful to Credit Suisse’s analyses or Opinion. In addition, Credit Suisse relied upon, with the Company’s consent and without independent verification, the assessments of the Company’s management as to macroeconomic conditions and the telecommunications regulatory environment in Brazil and assumed, at the Company’s direction, that there would be no changes in such macroeconomic conditions or regulatory environment that would impact the Company in any respect meaningful to Credit Suisse’s analyses or Opinion. In addition, Credit Suisse was not requested to, and did not, make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company, nor was Credit Suisse furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. Credit Suisse did not evaluate the solvency or fair value of the Company in light of any federal, state or municipal laws (including, without limitation, laws of Brazil and United States of America) related to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar issues. 5. Credit Suisse is not an actuary, nor should Credit Suisse be deemed an expert, in relation to this Presentation, the Opinion or the Tender Offer. Further, Credit Suisse has not provided any legal, regulatory, antitrust, tax, accounting or auditing services in connection with this Presentation, the Opinion or the Tender Offer. Credit Suisse expresses no view or opinion as to any such matters or whether any such matters could alter or otherwise impact the analyses and information contained in this Presentation. 6. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made by Credit Suisse or any of its affiliates or representatives regarding the accuracy, reasonableness, completeness, truthfulness, achievability or sufficiency of the information (including financial and operating projections of the Company or assumptions and estimates on which such projections are based) contained in this Presentation or on which Credit Suisse’s analyses are based. Nothing contained herein should be interpreted or construed as a declaration by Credit Suisse regarding the present, past or future financial performance of the Company or any other matter. 7. Any financial and other forecasts, estimates, projections and assumptions contained in this Presentation (including, without limitation, regarding the Company’s financial and operating performance or regulatory environment in which the Company operates) have been prepared by the Company or derived from information (whether oral or in writing) supplied by the Company or derived from public sources, without independent verification by Credit Suisse, and involve numerous and significant subjective determinations and assumptions, which may not be realized. As a result, actual results may vary materially from those shown in this Presentation. In addition, with respect to any such information made available to Credit Suisse and used in its analyses, the Company has represented to Credit Suisse that such information has been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the Company’s management as to the matters covered thereby. 8. This Presentation is not (i) a determination of a fair price for the Tender Offer; (ii) a recommendation related to any aspects of the Tender Offer; and/or (iii) a valuation report, a laudo or laudo de avaliação, issued for purposes of Instrução CVM nº 361/2002, Instrução CVM nº 319/1999 and/or articles 8, 170, and any other provision of the Lei Das S.A. or any other Brazilian law or regulation. This Presentation has not been prepared for purposes of complying with any legal or regulatory provisions in Brazil or abroad. 9. The preparation of financial analyses as reflected in this Presentation is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Credit Suisse has performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses and has arrived at the Opinion based on the results of all analyses undertaken by it and assessed as a whole and unless otherwise noted Credit Suisse has not drawn, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any one factor or method of analysis. Accordingly, Credit Suisse believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on information presented in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying its analyses and Opinion. |
Confidential Disclaimers (cont’d) 18 10. In its analyses, Credit Suisse considered industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. No company, transaction or business used in Credit Suisse’s analyses is identical to the Company or the Tender Offer, and an evaluation of the results of those analyses is not entirely mathematical. Rather, the analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition, public trading or other values of the companies, business segments or transactions analyzed. The estimates contained in Credit Suisse’s analyses and the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by the analyses. In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold or acquired. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the results derived from, Credit Suisse’s analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. 11. The effective date used for this Presentation is October 14, 2013. This Presentation is necessarily based upon information made available to Credit Suisse as of the effective date and financial, economic, market, currency exchange rates and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated on the effective date and upon certain assumptions regarding such financial, economic, market, currency exchange rates and other conditions, which are subject to volatility and which, if different than assumed, could have a material impact on Credit Suisse’s analyses and Opinion. Although future events and other developments may affect this Presentation and the Opinion, Credit Suisse is under no obligation to update, revise, correct or revoke this Presentation or the Opinion, in whole or in part, as a result of any subsequent development or for any other reason. 12. The Opinion and the analyses contained in this Presentation do not address, take into consideration or give effect to, individual circumstances of specific holders with respect to control, voting or other rights or aspects which may distinguish such holders or the securities of the Company held by such holders or any rights, preferences, restrictions or limitations that may be attributable to any such securities. The analyses considered the Company as a standalone operation and therefore do not include benefits or operating, tax or other losses, including any premiums, synergies, incremental value and/or costs, if any, that may be realized upon consummation, or otherwise as a result of, the Tender Offer or any other transaction. The Opinion and such analyses also do not address certain other aspects or implications of the Tender Offer, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Tender Offer, any fees, expenses or taxes payable in respect of the Company’s shares, the mechanism for determining and timing of payment of interest on the offer price or currency fluctuations between Brazilian reais and U.S. dollars, any differences in, or relative fairness of the Tender Offer price among, the Company’s securities or any agreement, arrangement or understanding in connection with the Tender Offer or otherwise. 13. The Company has agreed to pay Credit Suisse a fee upon delivery of the Opinion. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse Credit Suisse for its expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel, and to indemnify Credit Suisse and related parties against liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, arising out of or in connection with the services rendered and to be rendered by Credit Suisse under its engagement. 14. Credit Suisse is a full service securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, Credit Suisse and its affiliates may acquire, hold or sell, for Credit Suisse’s and its affiliates own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of the Company, the Offerors and their respective affiliates and any other company that may be involved in the Tender Offer, as well as provide investment banking and other financial services to such companies. Credit Suisse has adopted policies and guidelines designed to preserve the independence of its research analysts. Professionals in Credit Suisse’s equities research department and other divisions may base their analyses and publications on different operating and market assumptions and on different analyses or methods from those used in preparing this Presentation so that the research reports and other publications they prepare may contain different results and conclusions from those presented herein. |
