CELULAR, TELEFONICA DE ARGENTINA AND
TELEFONICA DEL PERU, IN A STOCK FOR STOCK TRANSACTION
TELEFONICA LAUNCHES TWO NEW GLOBAL
BUSINESSES: TELEFONICA MOVILES AND TELEFONICA DATACORP
* Telefonica Moviles will cover all mobile operations, becoming the sixth
largest mobile group in the world.
* Telefonica DataCorp will be the world's second largest Data/IP specialized
player.
* The Board of Directors will propose the issuance of the new Telefonica stock
at an extraordinary shareholders meeting to be held on February 4.
* Telefonica adapts its organizational structure to develop the business model
launched two years ago.
Madrid, January 12, 2000 - The Board of Directors of Telefonica has
approved today the creation of two new global businesses, further developing
the business model launched nearly two years ago. Following in the steps of
Terra TPI-Paginas Amarillas and Telefonica Media, the first two having
already earned the support from the markets, two new global businesses are
now being launched:
* Telefonica Moviles, grouping all of Telefonica's Mobile
Communications businesses worldwide, and present in Spain, Latin
America, Europe and the Magreb will become the world's sixth largest
Mobile Group worldwide with close to 14 million customers and with
good expectations for future growth. This company will be responsible
for accelerating business development worldwide as well as for
entering the European market by acquiring UMTS licenses. Luis Martin
de Bustamante, until today Chief Executive Officer of Telefonica de
Espana, will become the Executive Chairman of this global company.
* Telefonica DataCorp, grouping all Data Communications and Integrated
Business Solutions for major corporate customers in Spain, Latin
America and Europe, will become the world's second largest Data/IP
specialized player by revenues. Antonio Viana-Baptista Chief
Executive Officer of Telefonica Internacional (TISA), will become
Chairman of the company, with Guillermo Fernandez Vidal as its Chief
Executive Officer.
In so doing, Telefonica develops further the business model that it
initiated nearly two years ago, stressing the differentiated management of
the Group's businesses and capturing the full value creation potential from
each one of them by globalizing high growth businesses (Moviles, Terra,
DataCorp, TPI-Paginas Amarillas), developing new businesses and optimizing
more mature businesses, such as Wireline Communications.
To accelerate the development and globalization of these new
businesses, the Board of Directors has approved the launch of an all-stock
Public Tender for 100% of the shares of Telesp, TeleSudeste Celular in
Brazil, Telefonica de Argentina and Telefonica del Peru. The exchange ratio
implies a premium of 40% over the average market price during the last five
trading days, to be adjusted for exchange purposes. The Board of Directors
has approved proposing the issue of new stock, to an Extraordinary General
Shareholder's Meeting to be held on February 4. Telefonica S.A. will request
a listing of its shares on the Stock Exchanges of Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro,
Buenos Aires and Lima.
By doing so, Telefonica wishes to extend the benefits of its global
project to the shareholders of these Latin American companies by offering
them the possibility to participate in the future growth of its global
businesses, becoming shareholders of one of the world's leading companies,
the clear leader in its natural market of 550 million Spanish and Portuguese
speaking people.
The exchange ratios will be the following:

Also, Juan Perea will depart from the Board of Directors to focus
exclusively on the development and growth of Terra Networks and Luis Martin de
Bustamante and Antonio Viana-Baptista have been appointed new members of the
Board of Directors. Antonio Viana-Baptista will, in addition,

for the Carrier's Carrier business (submarine cable). To cover the vacant post
left by Luis Martin de Bustamante in Telefonica de Espana, Julio Linares,
until today General Manager for Strategy and Technology, has been appointed

'The exchange offers and other transactions described above require regulatory
or other government approvals in Spain, the United States, Brazil, Argentina and

each of the jurisdictions. Telefonica intends to file promptly the documentation
required to obtain these approvals and authorizations, including
registration statements relating to the Telefonica shares and ADSs to be
offered. Telefonica will make available to investors more information about its

company have been obtained and the related United States registration
statements have been declared effective.'
ANNEX 3
Summary of the relevant terms of the offers
1. Companies which are the object of the Tender Offers
The Board of Directors of TELEFONICA, S.A ('TELEFONICA') has agreed to
make tender offers for the acquisition of the shares representing the
total share capital of the Brazilian companies TELECOMUNICACOES DE SAO
PAULO, S.A. - TELESP ('TELESP'), TELE SUDESTE CELULAR PARTICIPACOES, S.A.
('TELE SUDESTE'), of the Argentinean company TELEFONICA DE ARGENTINA,
S.A. ('TASA') and of the Peruvian company TELEFONICA DEL PERU, S.A.A.
('TdeP') (jointly, the 'Offers' and the 'Target Companies').
The Target Companies are currently participated in by TELEFONICA, either
through wholly owned subsidiaries of TELEFONICA or through holding
companies mainly participated in by TELEFONICA. Therefore, the shares or
securities representing the shares of the Target Companies which are
held, directly or indirectly, by TELEFONICA, will not be the object of
the corresponding offers.
2. Jurisdiction and structure
The Offers will be subject to the legal requirements applicable in each
of the countries where the Target Companies are incorporated. Brazil,
Argentina and Peru. Furthermore, due to the fact that part of the
shareholders of the Target Companies are U.S. residents and that part of
the shares of the Target Companies are listed in the New York Stock
Exchange as American Depositary Shares ('ADSs'), the American legal
requirements will also be applicable to the Offers.
Due to some differences in the different laws applicable to this
transaction, each of the Offers will be instrumented by a double
proceeding: (i) an offer directed to the holders of ADSs listed in the
New York Stock Exchange, independent of their residence, and to the
holders of shares and securities representing such shares who are U.S.
residents ('U.S. Offers'), governed by the laws of the United States, and
(ii) an offer directed to the holders of shares or securities
representing such shares who are not U.S. residents ('Local Offers'),
governed by Brazilian, Argentinean or Peruvian laws, as the case may be.
3. Structure: increase of share capital and exchange of shares
In order to attend to the established compensation for each of the Offers, the
Board of Directors of TELEFONICA has agreed, in the same meeting in which it
approved such Offers, to call an Extraordinary Shareholders' General Meeting of
TELEFONICA to be held on February 3, 2000, in first call, or on February 4,
2000, in second call, to resolve the proposals of share capital increase in
the following amounts:
(1) In order to attend to the established contribution for the
TELESP Offer, a nominal value of 432,159,596 euros, through the
issue and circulation of 432,159,596 shares, of one (1) euro of
nominal value each.

SUDESTE Offer, a nominal value of 102,889,652 euros, through

Offer, a nominal value of 172,037,573 euros, through the issue
and circulation of 172,037,573 shares.
(4) In order to attend to the established contribution for the TdeP
Offer, a nominal value of 85,464,976 euros, through the issue
and circulation of 85,464,976 shares.
The share capital increases are independent among themselves, and they can
be executed by the Board of Directors in the order considered
appropriate. The execution or non-execution of any of them will not affect
the others.
The final number of shares to be subscribed will be such number, in accordance
with the exchange ratios, resulting from the number of acceptances of the
different Offers and from their liquidation, the incomplete subscription of
the share capital increases being expressly contemplated, in order to
adjust the amount of the share capital increase to the acceptances of the
corresponding Offers.
The compensation for each of the share capital increases will fully consist of
contributions in kind to the capital of TELEFONICA, such contributions being
made up of the shares or, as the case may be, AD5s representing shares of
TELESP, TELE SUDESTE, TASA and TdeP whose holders accept the Offers.
4. Effectiveness of the 0ffers
The effectiveness of each of the Offers is subject to the following conditions:
(a) 'that no significant disruption affecting the normal operation of the
Madrid or New York Stock Exchanges or any other local markets on
which the Target Companies have their shares listed should occur,
that implies the suspension or material limitation in trading of these
shares'.
(b) that the quote value of the TELEFONICA share in the Spanish Automated
Quotation Market at the end of any session does not decrease by a
percentage equal to or greater than 25% of the quote value at the end of
the session of the date of the present resolution.
(c) that, at the end of any session, the value of the stock exchange index
of the Spanish Market (IBEX), expressed in euros, or the value of the
stock exchange index of the main Stock Exchange of the country of origin
of the Target Companies, expressed in U.S. dollars, does not decrease by a
percentage equal to or greater than 25% of the quote value at the end of
the session of the date of the present resolution.
(d) that no other specific circumstances occur which mean an adverse
significant change and as will be defined in the documentation
of the corresponding Offers.
Additionally, the people empowered for the execution of each of the Offers will
be able to desist if any of the pertinent authorisations for the effectiveness
of the Offers, including, among others, those of the registration of TELEFONICA
and its securities with the regime of public offer and listing, those necessary
for the making of the Offers and the exchange authorisations, have not been
obtained within 90 days since the date of this resolution.
The occurrence of any of the circumstances to which their effectiveness is
subjected before the liquidation date of the Offers, will empower TELEFONICA
and, on its behalf, its administration bodies and those empowered in relation
with each of the Offers, to desist from the Offer, ceasing its effects.
In any case, the effectiveness of each of the Offers is conditioned to the
approval by the Shareholders' General Meeting of TELEFONICA of the share capital
