Brasil Telecom clarifies CVM’s inquiries

In compliance with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission’s (CVM – Comissão de Valores Mobiliários) letter CVM/SEP/GEA-2/No. 149-07, submitted on April 30, 2007, regarding news published on this date by the Valor Econômico newspaper (page A-2), under the title “Telefonica redefines the game in Brazil as it acquired a stake in Telecom Italia”, Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. (“Company”) clarifies that it does not have any participation in possible negotiations involving the transfer of shares of companies that belong to its corporate shareholder structure by its controlling shareholders. Furthermore, the Company restates that it has not established any understanding, even preliminary, about merger, acquisition or sale, regarding Telemar or any companies related to it.

The Company notifies, yet, that Brasil Telecom’s control block companies in its corporate shareholder structure (Solpart Participações S.A., Techold Participações S.A., Invitel S.A. and Zain Participações S.A.) have not disclosed any information regarding the abovementioned clarified matter.
