At the meeting, held as an extraordinary session, it was presented the proposed corporate restructuring involving the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary and its subsidiaries, culminating in the merger, by the Company, of GVT Participações S.A., a private company with headquarters in the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, at Avenida Eng. Luiz Carlos Berrini, 1376, 6th floor, side B, enrolled with the CNPJ/MF under No. 10.242.813/0001-41 ("GVTPart") after the merger, by GVTPart, of the spun-off portion of Global Village Telecom S.A. ("GVT") concerning the assets, rights and obligations related to telecommunications activities ("Corporate Restructuring").
It was also reported, at the end of the corporate restructuring, that is intention is to rationalize the services developed by such companies, with (i) the concentration of the provision of such services in a single company, the Company; and (ii) the migration of activities provided by GVT other than telecommunications services for POP Internet Ltda. ("POP").
Thus, after studies conducted, it was understood that the simplification of the corporate structure and the concentration of the provision of telecommunications services in a single legal entity will promote a convergence environment, facilitating the consolidation and confluence in the provision of telecommunication services and simplification of service packages offerings, as well as the consequent optimization of administrative and operational costs, and standardization of operations of the companies involved in the Corporate Restructuring.
It was also clarified that the intended Corporate Restructuring was submitted to the appreciation and prior consent of Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações - ANATEL, which approved it under Act No. 50,169 of January 22, 2016, published in the Official Gazette of January 28, 2016, with the conditions set out therein ("Act of Consent").
The following documents related to the corporate restructuring proposal were subjected to analysis and evaluation of the counselors, namely:
