PARAGUAY, November 20, 2022 – Telefónica Celular del Paraguay S.A.E. (“Telecel”) announced today (i) the early tender results of its previously announced tender offer to purchase for cash (the “Tender Offer”) up to U.S. $55 million in aggregate principal amount (the “Maximum Amount”) of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”), (ii) the Early Settlement Date (as defined below) and (iii) amendments to the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms of an Offer to Purchase dated November 4, 2022 (as amended hereby and as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), and is subject to certain conditions described therein. Capitalized terms used in this press release but not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as the one ascribed in the Offer to Purchase.

Details of the Tender Offer

Telecel has been advised by D.F. King & Co., Inc., as information agent and tender agent, that as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 18, 2022 (“Early Tender Time”), U.S. $47.019 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time. The consideration for each U.S. $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer (the “Total Consideration”) will equal U.S. $927.50. The Total Consideration includes an early tender payment (the “Early Tender Payment”) equal to U.S. $30.00 per U.S. $1,000 principal amount of such Notes. Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.

Pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer set forth therein, Telecel intends to accept for purchase all U.S.$ 47.019 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time and has exercised its right to have an early settlement date, which is expected to occur on November 21, 2022 (the “Early Settlement Date”).

Telecel is hereby amending the Offer to Purchase to make Holders who tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time eligible to receive the Total Consideration, including the Early Tender Payment. In addition, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date for the Notes accepted for purchase. Except for the extension of Total Consideration and Early Tender Payment, all other terms and conditions of the Tender Offer remain unchanged. Holders that have previously tendered their Notes do not need to re-tender their Notes or take any other action in response to this amendment of the Tender Offer.

The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 5, 2022 (the “Expiration Time”). In addition, the withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 18, 2022, for the Tender Offer has now passed; accordingly, Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offer may not be withdrawn. Holders of Notes may tender Notes at or prior to the Expiration Time in order to receive the Total Consideration. Telecel will only accept for purchase Notes up to the Maximum Amount.

Telecel’s obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any Notes validly tendered to the Tender Offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction or, when applicable, waiver of certain customary conditions, which are more fully described in the Offer to Purchase.
