The most important aspects of the content of these meetings are outlined below: Details on the operation: Telefonica Moviles intends to launch a Public Tender Offer as soon as possible, and before the close of 2000. As yet neither the tranche of the offer nor the valuation of the company has taken place; nevertheless the amount of the placement will adhere to the minimum amount needed to cover the financing of the commitments recently undertaken. To date, the Company has not yet decided on the size of the transaction, BBVA, Invercaixa, CSFB, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley are the operation's global co ordinators. Purpose of funds: Telefonica Moviles has stated that it foresees that the funds derived from the tender offer will be used to address the German UMTS licence, the possible participation in the Italian UMTS, and the enhancing of the expansion of its businesses through acquisitions or the purchasing of new licences. Composition of Telefonica Moviles Group: the operators that will initially form part of the Telefonica Moviles Group are Telefonica Moviles Espana Group 3G (the Consortium that was awarded the UMTS licence in Germany); TeleSudeste Celular Participacoes, Celular CRT and TeleLeste Celular Participacoes, that operate in Brazil; Telefonica Moviles El Salvador; Telefonica, Centroamerica de Guatemala; and Medi Telecom, responsible for the provision of cellular telephony in Morocco. Likewise, and subsequent to the close of the aforementioned Tender Offer, it is foreseen that Telefonica S.A. will transfer its cellular telephony businesses Telefonica de Argentina and Telefonica del Peru to Telefonica Moviles and therefore the financial statements corresponding to these two companies will be included in the offer in pro forma format. The terms of this transfer will be set prior to the launching of the Public Tender Offer. Telefonica Moviles will also be the beneficiary of the convertible notes issued by the Puerto Rican operator NewComm Wireless Services and currently held by Telefonica Internacional. At the same time, other horizontal businesses will also form part of the Telefonica Moviles Group such as Terra Mobile - a joint venture with Terra Networks and the company responsible for the development of the Telefonica Group's global mobile portal, MovilPago, which will offer a new form of payment using mobile handsets; and m-Solutions, a wholly-owned Telefonica Moviles subsidiary, responsible for the implementing of the necessary mechanisms to take maximum advantage of the Group's synergies and to offer engineering services and corporate solutions to the Group's operators and third parties. Should new acquisitions or licences be purchased, the Group's composition may vary at the time of its floating. The economic participation held by Telefonica Moviles in each of these companies varies in each case, although all the companies are managed by Telefonica Moviles. At the end of June, the aforementioned companies within the Telefonica Moviles Group had a total of 18.2 million customers in Europe, Latin America and the Mediterranean basin and provided services over a geographic area with more than 271 million inhabitants. - European expansion: Telefonica Moviles underlined that one of the basic strategies that makes up its outlook for the future is that of broadening its horizons within the European market. With this in mind, the Company intends to participate or analyse the possibility of its participation in the bidding processes for UMTS licences in several European countries, with their priority being those that are shortly to be awarded in Italy - foreseen for mid-November - and France - foreseen for mid-June 2001. The strategy to be applied by Telefonica Moviles includes the formation of consortia with other large companies with significant European presence. - Entrance in the Mexican market: The Company stated that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Motorola aimed at the acquisition of the latter's cellular telephony subsidiaries in Mexico, subject to the satisfactory outcome of the due diligence process. Telefonica Moviles will shortly announce the details of this operation, once it has been finalised and registered.
