Find bellow Item 10, from Reference Form, according to CVM instruction n. 481/09, article 9, III
10. Comments by Board of Directors
10.1. Directors should comment on:>
a. general financial and equity conditions
During 2010, the Company concluded the restructuring process begun in 2009. The strong expansion of the mobile phone market in conjunction with the momentum of the Company resulted in a year of strong growth in both operating and financial results. The recovery of its foundations was reflected in the Company’s financial and equity conditions, which reduced its gross debt to R$ 3.4 billion (20% down YoY). This coupled with cash equivalents which totaled R$ 2.4 billion, resulted in net debt position of R$ 984 million, a reduction of over 40% YoY (with Net Debt / EBITDA 0.23 x).
With its reformulation consolidated, 2011 was a year to reap the rewards of past restructuring and expand the business. The expansion of the operational and financial results maintained the fast pace of the previous year. The Company ended the fiscal year with a gross debt of R$ 3.83 billion. At the end of the fiscal year, the Company's cash equivalents amounted to R$ 3.26 billion, resulting in a net debt position of R$ 0.57 billion.
The year 2012 was a very difficult and challenging year, starting with a change in management, macroeconomics slowdown, competition increase, followed by a regulatory scrutiny and contingency claims. Nevertheless, TIM demonstrated an impressive ability to sail a turbulent period, supported by solid business fundaments, innovative marketing strategy, an amazing sales force, and the strong commitment of its more than 11,000 employees. Many companies would have collapsed but TIM, on the other hand, came out of this experience even stronger, with a solid team, an increased sense of responsibility and commitment to better serve our over 70 million clients.
In 2013, the Company held an excellent financial position by reducing its level of debt (Net Debt / EBITDA) to -0.08x. The Company's cash position increased 19% in comparison to 2012, ending the year at R$ 5,288 million, while its gross debt grew 14%, reaching R$ 4,867 million. In addition to the strong cash position, the Company also presented a growth of 3.9% in its EBITDA, which reached R$ 5,207 million. Another important event was the signing of a new credit line with BNDES for the financing of the Company’s CAPEX for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016, amounting to R$ 5,700 million at a very attractive cost. The results obtained by the Company in conjunction with the new credit line give the Company a quite comfortable financial position and great competitive edge.
The Company ended the fiscal year with a gross debt of R$ 4.87 billion. At the end of the fiscal year, the Company's cash position amounted to R$ 5.3 billion, resulting in a net debt position of R$ -0.42 billion.
Accompanied by a strong cash position, the Company also presents stable liquidity ratios, showing total capacity to meet its short and long term obligations. Regarding liquidity ratios (Overall Liquidity and Current Liquidity), the Company reported: Overall liquidity ((Current Assets + Long Term Assets) / (Current Liabilities + Non-current Liabilities)), for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013 of 1.04, 1.02 and 1.00, respectively, and Current Liquidity (Current Assets / Current Liabilities) of 1.21, 1.32 and 1.38, respectively.
As for the debt profile, the Company has been maintaining a stable concentration of its short-term obligations, presenting, in the years 2011, 2012 and 2013, current to total liabilities minus equity ratio of 65%, 60% and 59%, respectively. These percentages are fully acceptable in view of the comfortable liquidity position of the Company.
Given the foregoing, the directors consider that the Company has sufficient equity and financial conditions to cope with its growth strategy and meet its short and long-term obligations.
b. capital structure and possibility of redemption of shares or quotas, indicating:
The Company has low rates of third party capital ((Current Liabilities + Non-current Liabilities)/Equity)) in its structure, for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013, the percentage was respectively 81.7%, 88.8% and 92.8% of net worth. Therefore, demonstrating a financing of the activities primarily through own capital.
The directors consider that the current capital structure of the Company presents conservative levels of leverage. At the end of 2013, the Company's equity was R$ 14,549 million and the net debt was R$ -420.8 million. Additionally, the Company is able to generate enough cash to meet its obligations, not necessarily relying on third-party capital.
i. redemption hypothesis
There is no possibility of redemption of shares, except those in the Corporation Law.
ii. formula for calculating the redemption value
Not applicable.
c. ability to pay in relation to the financial commitments undertaken
The Management believes it has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to cover investments, operating expenses and debts. The current working capital of the Company is sufficient for its present requirements. Its resources from operations and also loans are sufficient to meet the financing of its activities. The Company believes to have the capacity to obtain new loans to support investments on opportunities that may appear on the sector.
In 2011, the EBITDA amounted to R$ 4,637 million, while the financial expenses in the same period amounted to R$ 725 million and gross debt was R$ 3,826 million. Therefore, the level of coverage of the financial expenses, which measures the ability to pay the financial expense to EBITDA was 0.156 and the level of debt coverage, which measures the level of gross debt, to EBITDA was 0.82x.
The EBITDA in 2012 amounted to R$ 5,010 million, while financial expenses in the same period amounted to R$ 644 million and the total gross debt at the end of the period was R$ 4,279 million. Therefore, the level of coverage of financial expenses, which measures the ability of payment of financial expenses to EBITDA, was 0.128 and the level of debt coverage, which measures the level of gross debt to EBITDA, was 0.85x.
The EBITDA in 2013 amounted to R$ 5,207 million, while financial expenses in the same period totaled R$ 750 million and total gross debt at the end of the period was R$ 4,867 million. Therefore, the level of coverage of financial expenses, which measures the ability of payment of financial expense, to EBITDA was 0.144 and the level of debt coverage, which measures the level of gross debt to EBITDA, was 0.93x.
d. sources of financing for working capital and for investment in non-current assets
The main source of funding is the operating cash flow, supplemented by lines of short-term credit with local and international banks and long-term financing with national and international development agencies such as BNDES, BNB, BEI and SACE.
e. sources of financing for working capital and for investment in non-current assets to be used to cover liquidity deficiency
To cover possible deficiencies of future liquidity, we intend to use operating cash flow, debt renegotiation maturing in the short term and new financing.
f. debt levels and characteristics of such debts, including
At the end of 2013, we presented a level of debt 0.325 times (financial debt/equity). The following are the features of loans and financing that we consider relevant:

The Parent Company, TIM Participações, does not have loans and financing on December 31, 2013.
The foreign currency loan contracted from BNP Paribas Bank and the financing acquired by TIM Celular from BNDES, both obtained for the expansion of the mobile network, have restrictive clauses which demand compliance with certain financial ratios, calculated semiannually. The subsidiary, TIM Celular, has been reaching the set financial ratios.
In December 2012, TIM Celular contracted an increase of total credit limit from R$ 1,510 million to R$ 3,674 million from BNDES. Of the total amount of R$ 2,164 million from the credit limit expansion, R$ 1,983 million is earmarked to finance the investments by TIM Celular and R$ 181 million to finance investments by Intelig Telecommunications for the years 2012 and 2013. Still in December 2012, TIM Celular made the first release of this line in the amount of R$ 1,000 million in a term of seven years, of which i) R$ 867 million at a cost of TJLP + 3.32% and ii) R$ 133 million relating to the funding line PSI (Program for Investment Support). This program has subsidized interest rates (2.5% p.a.) compared to lines of credit available in the market and even when compared to the rates offered by BNDES, in other transactions with similar goals and deadlines.
In April 2013, Intelig Telecom made the first release from BNDES of R$ 90 million, of which i) R$ 80 million at a cost of TJLP + 3.32% and ii) R$ 10 million relating to the PSI funding line (Program for Investment Support).
In May 2013, TIM Celular acquired release from BNDES of R$ 200 million at a cost of TJLP + 3.32%.
In June 2013, Intelig Telecom obtained a release from BNDES of R$ 40 million for a total period of 7 years, including i) R$ 35.5 million at a cost of TJLP + 3.32% and ii) R$ 4.5 million relating to the funding line PSI (Program for Investment Support).
In December 2013, TIM Celular obtained another release from BNDES of R$ 82 million for a total period of 7 years, including i) R$ 58 million at a cost of TJLP + 3.32%, ii) R$ 15 million at a cost of 2.5% p.a. and iii) R$ 9 million at a cost of TJLP.
The outstanding balances on lines of credit from BNDES are R$ 700 million for TIM Celular and R$ 51 million for Intelig Telecommunications in December 31, 2013.
Transactions involving the PSI funding line fall within the scope of the IAS 20 - Government Subsidies and Assistance. Therefore, using the effective interest method defined in IAS 39 - Financial, Recognition and Measurement Instruments, the following considerations were made: a comparison was held between i) total debt calculated based on rates set by contract and ii) the total amount of debt calculated based on average rates prevailing in the market (fair value). The corresponding balance on December 31, 2013 subject to adjust referring to the subsidy granted by BNDES for all PSI lines in December 2013, is approximately R$ 67 million. This amount is registered under the group "Other Liabilities" in the subsidy "Government Grants" and the deferral is made according to the asset life is being funded and appropriate in the result of the group "Other Income Subsidy".
In December 2013, TIM Celular contracted from BNDES a new funding line in the amount of R$ 5,700 million, which will be used to finance investments in network and information technology for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016. The total amount contracted from BNDES is divided as follows: i) R$ 2,402 million at a cost of TJLP +2.52% for a term of 8 years, ii) 2,636 million at a cost of Selic rate + 2.52% for a term of 8 years; iii) R$ 428 million at a cost of 3.50% p.a. for a term of 7 years; iv) R$ 189 million at a cost of TJLP +1.42% for a term of 8 years and v) R$ 45 million at a cost of TJLP in a term of 8 years.
In December 2011 and July 2012, TIM Celular subsidiary signed financing agreements with the European Investment Bank (EIB) in the amount of EUR 100 million each, amounting to EUR 200 million. Despite the line being contracted in euros, the contract conditions allow, at the time of disbursement of the funds, that the Company opts for catchment in euro, dollar or real. The Company has chosen to use the dollar as currency of disbursement. In August 2012, TIM Celular raised R$ 248 million equivalent to EUR 100 million, maturing in September 2019. In February 2013, TIM Celular raised R$ 136 million equivalent to EUR 50 million related to the credit line obtained from the European Investment Bank (EIB) in July 2012 maturing in February 2020. For the two disbursements, swap transactions were contracted simultaneously with the loans, in order to protect against the exchange rate risk and interest rate until the debt maturity. The remaining amount of EUR 50 million of the credit line with the European Investment Bank (EIB) was cancelled in November 2013.
In February 2013, TIM Celular held the portability of two Bank Credit Notes of R$ 22 million and R$ 40 million, previously contracted from Itaú to Banco do Brasil, changing the CDI cost+0.75% p.a. to 106.50% of CDI and extending their maturities from August 2014 to February 2015.
In March 2013, TIM Celular held the portability of a Bank Credit Note of R$ 28 million previously contracted from Itaú to Banco do Brasil, changing the CDI cost+0.75% p.a. to 106.50% of CDI and extending its maturity from September 2014 to March 2015.
In September 2013, the TIM Celular subsidiary hired a financing from Cisco Capital in the amount of R$ 113 million, equivalent to USD 50 million, at a cost of 1.80% p.a., maturing in September 2018.
In September 2013, the TIM Celular subsidiary liquidated all of its foreign currency debt with JP Morgan in the amount of USD 100 million, equivalent to R$ 220 million. In parallel, the Company entered into a new debt with JP Morgan in the amount of USD 50 million, equivalent to R$ 110 million, at a cost of 1.73% p.a., maturing in September 2015.
In September 2013, the TIM Celular subsidiary liquidated all of its foreign currency debt with Bank of America in the amount of USD 119.8 million, equivalent to R$ 269 million. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a new debt in the same amount of USD 119.8 million, equivalent to R$ 269 million, at a cost of LIBOR 3M + 1,35% p.a., maturing in September 2016.
For the new loans contracted from Cisco Capital, JP Morgan and Bank of America in September 2013, swap transactions were simultaneously contracted in order to protect the Company from exchange rate risk and interest rate until the debt maturity
The TIM Celular subsidiary has swap transactions in order to fully protect from the risks of devaluation of the Real against the U.S. dollar. However, it does not apply "hedge accounting".

The table below shows the figures for the consolidated statements of income results for the fiscal years ended on December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Gross Revenue
In 2013, total gross revenue reached R$ 29,662 million, an increase of 6.9% compared to 2012. Gross revenue from services increased 2.9% compared to the previous year, reaching R$ 25,065 million in 2012. Gross revenue from products amounted to R$ 4,596 million, a strong annual increase of 35.0%.
Gross Revenue from Services
Our gross revenue from services increased R$ 715.1 million, or 2.9%, from R$ 24,350 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, to R$ 25,065 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
Mobile Services and Other Revenues. Our revenue for mobile services and other revenues increased R$ 1,113 million, or 4.9%, from R$ 22,879 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2012, to R$ 23,993 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2013 in due to:
Subscriptions and Usage. Our revenue for subscriptions and usage grew by 2.0% or R$ 223 million, amounting to R$ 11,309 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2013, compared to R$ 11,086 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2012. This increase is mainly explained by the increase in the proportion of post-paid subscribers in the subscriber base.
VAS – Value Added Services. Our revenue for VAS - added services registered growth of 21.5% or R$ 948 million, from R$ 4,404 for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2012 to R$ 5,353 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2013.

Interconnection. Our revenue for interconnection dropped by R$ 208.4 million or -5.3% from R$ 3,969 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2012 to R$ 3,760 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2013. This decrease can be explained by the 11% decrease in MTR in the beginning of the year.
Land line Services and Other Revenues. Our revenue for land line services and other revenues decreased by R$ 398.4 million or 27.1%, from R$ 1,469 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2012 to R$ 1,070 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2013. This decrease is due to the Company's strategy of increasing the margins of this segment.
Gross Revenue from Products
The gross revenue from products amounted to R$ 4,596 million, an increase of 35% compared to 2012. This increase was primarily driven by the improvement in the mix of handsets sold during the year, with much of total sales (70%) for webphones or smartphones, and also by a 10.3% increase in average price per unit due to inclusion of more sophisticated devices in the Company's portfolio,
Taxes and discounts on total revenue
Our taxes and discounts on total revenue increased R$ 748 million, or 8.3%, from R$ 8,991 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2012 to R$ 9,740 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2013. Such increase of our taxes and discounts on the total revenue was due to the increase in our revenues from products and services.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Total operating costs and expenses increased 7.0% in the year, amounting to R$ 14,715 million in 2013.
Personnel cost: Personnel expenses amounted to R$ 832 million in 2013, an increase of 14.1% compared to the same period last year, largely due to the increase in the number of employees.
Commercialization: The sales and marketing expenses amounted to R$ 3,937 million, 2.5% higher when compared to the same period last year. Despite an increase in the mix of post-paid gross additions during the year, good management of sales channels and of commissions paid did not increase much. Moreover, the austere policy for prepaid customer disconnections helped keep FISTEL expenses in stable condition.
Network and Interconnection: reached R$ 5,312 million in 2013, a decrease of 0.7% when compared to the previous year, mainly due to the company policy to increase its own infrastructure. Furthermore, it was affected by decreased MTR earlier this year (April) of around 11%.
General and administrative: amounted to R$ 624.7 million in 2013, growing 13.3 compared to last year. The percentage of the net revenue was 3.14% in 2013, compared to 2.94% in 2012.
Cost of products sold: Our cost of products sold was R$ 3,351 million, representing an increase of 28.6% for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2013, over R$ 2,604 million incurred for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2012. It is important to note that the Company continues with its policy of zero subsidies.
Allowance for doubtful accounts: decreased by approximately 4.4% due to improvement of credit policies, including the discontinuation of subsidy policy in handset sales, which attracts clients with better payment profile and the launch of the family of "express" plans, where payment is made using credit card.
Other operating revenues (expenses): reached R$ 417 million in 2013, a decrease of R$ 3.4 million compared to the previous year.
Main changes in balance sheet accounts
Consolidated Balance Sheet on December 31, 2013 compared to the consolidated balance sheet on December 31, 2012
Current Assets
The current assets were R$ 10,741 million on December 31, 2013 compared to R$ 9,968 million on December 31, 2012. This represents an increase of 7.8%, or R$ 773 million. As a percentage of total assets, current assets represent 38.17% on December 31, 2013, and represented 38.18% on December 31, 2012.
The main variations in current assets refer to the increment of Company operations in 2013. Basically, the higher sales volume resulted in substantial increases in cash position (R$ 857 million) when comparing balances of 2013 and 2012.
Non-Current Assets
Non-current assets amounted to R$ 17,397 million on December 2013 and R$ 16,141 million on December 31, 2012 31, an increase of 7.8%, or R$ 1,256 million. As a percentage of total assets, non-current assets increased to 61.83% on December 31, 2013 compared to a percentage of 61.82% on December 31, 2012.
This increase was due to an increase in fixed and intangible assets accounts, demonstrating compliance with the company's guidance for investments aimed at improving the quality of its network.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities were R$ 8,048 million on December 31, 2013 compared to R$ 7,375 million on December 31, 2012. This represents an increase of 9.1% or R$ 673 million. As a percentage of total liabilities and equity, current liabilities increased to 28.6% on December 31, 2013 compared to a percentage of 28.25% on December 31, 2012.
The main variations in current liabilities in the period were as follows:
Increase of accounts payable, primarily network providers as a result of the higher volume of investments made by the Company;
Non-Current Liabilities
The non-current liabilities were R$ 5,495 million on December 31, 2013, compared to a balance of R$ 4,901 million on December 31, 2012. This represents an increase of 12.1% or R$ 595 million. As a percentage of total liabilities and equity, non-current liabilities increased to 19.53% on December 31, 2013 compared to a percentage of 18.77% on December 31, 2012. The main impact on the accounts group can be verified in the loans and financing mainly due to catchments made by the Company throughout 2013 and to new leasing contract of LT Amazonas.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ Equity amounted to R$ 14,595 million on December 31, 2013 compared to a balance of R$ 13,833 million on December 31, 2012, representing an increase of R$ 762 million. Such increase relates primarily to an increase in the balance of the profit reserves account.
Fiscal years ended on December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
Operating activities
Net cash generated from operating activities was R$ 5,269 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2013 compared to R$ 5,118 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2012. This represents an increase in cash generation from operations of R$ 151 million or 3%.
The cash flow generated by our invoicing is mainly applied in our main line of business. Cash flow partially finances Capex procurement as shown in item "Investment Activities" below. Additionally, the cash flow is used to purchase inventory, pay employees, pay taxes and fees, amortization of loans and profit distribution.
Investment Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was R$ 3,566 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2013, compared to R$ 3,725 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2012, representing a lower usage in 2013, of R$ 158 million.
Investment Activities
Net cash used by financing activities was R$ 844 million for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2013. The activities were deficient mainly due to the repayment of loans in the amount of R$ 1,260 million and to a reduction of over R$ 500 million in acquisitions of new loans.

i. description of any major revenue components
The Company generates revenues in local currency from the use of telecommunication services in mobile, land lines, long distance and ultra-broadband, plus value-added services (which also include data transmission). Another important component of the revenue is the use of network or interconnection revenue, from the amount charged from other carriers for traffic terminating on the Company network. The handsets revenue also integrates the group of income related to the sale of handsets and mini-modems for internet connection.
Revenue from usage tends to follow the growth of the customer base, the volume of use and the rate charged for this service. The component of network usage follows volume of incoming traffic on the network and interconnection rate charged. This revenue has shown a declining trend in recent quarters due to higher concentration of intra-network traffic, following the market trend and tariff reduction, by ANATEL, charged among other carriers (MTR). The handset revenues of the Company maintained the strong growth registered last year with the Company maintaining its policy of selling unsubsidized devices at affordable instalments via credit card, enabling good internet browsing experience. Revenues from land line services again presented decrease, still reflecting the plan to recast the Company’s land line services.

ii. factors that have materially affected the operating results
Economic environment
In 2011, the world’s economy suffered fiscal crises in the United States and Europe. After spending way too much to try to recover their economies out of 2008’s recession, developed countries ended up with their accounts compromised, therefore they had to slow down the economic growth and for this reason, had to slow economic growth. For Brazil, unlike 2010 when there was not much impact on growth, the year 2011 also presented deceleration. Still, the domestic market remained strong and consumption kept the fast pace presented in recent years, which eventually also impacted inflation.
In 2012, the world economy continued to suffer with the fiscal crises in the U.S. and Europe though more moderately, in the Eurozone large scale recession fears continued worrying while in the U.S. the expansion was positive but insufficient to lead unemployment rate and inflation to acceptable levels by FED, the Central Bank of the United States. In Brazil, GDP growth in 2012 was only 0.9%, the lowest in three years, the main reason for the poor performance was the sharp reduction in domestic consumption, caused by the downturn in the credit market driven by higher household indebtedness and greater delinquency, and the lack of private sector investment even with government incentives.
In 2013, the United States managed to show higher levels of recovery. The industrial production data were encouraging, growing 3.7% in the year, the largest increase since 2007. In addition, the real estate market continued to recover and the unemployment rate returned to levels seen just before the huge crisis of 2008, around 7%. This improvement in the U.S. economy can also be evidenced by the fact that FED started to reduce its incentive plan in January 2014, called Quantitative Easing 3.
In Brazil, the year 2013 was characterized by multivariate data, more negative than positive. The positive point to be noted is the return to the lowest unemployment rate since 2002 of 4.6% registered in November (In December 2012 this number was also recorded). On the downside, the highlights are the GDP below market expectations coming on 2.5% and the return of inflation growth of 5.91%, which was above the target of 4.5% but below the limit of 6.5% set by the Central Bank. It is also worth mentioning that inflation in 2013 managed to be higher than that recorded last year, which forced the Central Bank to revise its policy of reducing the Selic rate, which closed 2012 below historical levels, at 7.25% and ended at 10.0% in 2013.
Regarding domestic demand, it has remained quite high, mainly due to low unemployment and expansion of the domestic market, being one of the main sources of inflation seen in the country in 2013. The Federal government has adopted a series of measures to maintain consumption and high investment. Regarding the exchange rate issue, it has been waging an intense battle to try to curb the appreciation of dollar, which rose 15.2% during the year, driven by the reduction of stimulus by FED from US$ 90 billion to US$ 70 billion. Apart from the almost daily participation in the foreign exchange market by selling dollars, the government has adopted several measures to curb the appreciation of it by increasing IOF transactions for prepaid debit cards, the main mean used by Brazilian tourists abroad.
The trade balance ended the year with an accumulated surplus of US$ 2.56 billion in 2013, a decrease of 86.88% compared to the year 2012, the number was the lowest since 2000. This poor performance can be explained by the increase in fuel imports, which accounted for a deficit in the balance of US$ 20 billion and imports increased by 6.5%, mainly due to the strength of the Brazilian real against the dollar in the first half of the year.
Telecommunication sector
For the telecommunication sector, 2011 was a more positive year than the previous year, when the economy was still impacted by the global crisis. The number of net additions was superior in all departments compared to net additions in 2010. Although the mobile market has already shown high levels of penetration, in 2011 the level of net additions eventually surpassed the market expectations. The mobile market ended the year with 242.2 million accesses, representing an annual growth of 19.3%, totalling 39.3 million new lines, according to Anatel.
In 2012 the mobile telecommunication sector continued its expansion, but at a slower pace. The Brazilian market grew 8.1% in 2012, going from a penetration rate of 123.9% in 2011 to 132.8% in 2012, remaining as the fifth largest in the world. The total lines reached 261.8 million.
In 2013 the telecommunication industry in Brazil had a more modest growth compared to previous years of strong growth. The mobile market reached a total of 271.1 million accesses, an annual growth of 3.6% accounting to 9.3 million new lines in 2013, according to ANATEL.
Most of the growth can be seen in the post-paid segment which reached 59.5 million lines (16.9% p.a.), since the prepaid segment reached 211.6 million lines (0.33% p.a.), unlike what had been happening in recent years, when the pre-paid segment led the additions.
The slowdown in growth can be explained by the high penetration of 136.4%. Now the change in the mix is related to a more equal income distribution, the cheapening of telecommunication services due to strong competition and strategies of companies in the sector themselves in focusing on this segment (post-paid).
According to data published by Anatel in 2013, the land line sector showed a slight increase of 0.7% when compared to the previous year, ending the period with 44.6 million accesses, representing a penetration rate of approximately 22.7 lines per 100 households.
Particularities of the sector
Mobile telecom in Brazil is characterized by being a sector considered private where prices and tariffs are regulated by the market. ANATEL operates as an agency that regulates all sectors of telecommunications in Brazil, with a mission to "promote the development of telecommunications in the country in order to give it a modern and efficient telecommunication infrastructure capable of providing nationwide adequate diversified and fairly priced services to society”.
In the competitive environment, the Brazilian mobile industry presents itself as one of the most competitive in the world, being one of the few to have four competitors with national presence and market share from 18% to 28%. The strong movement of market competition implies greater pressure on margins on account of commercial advertising and publicity expenses, commissions and allowance. The practice of a subsidy as a competition tool is being gradually abandoned by most carriers, giving focus to offers more related to the use of services. The recent move has allowed the fall in average tariffs that are offset by greater usage. The Company accelerated in this way in 2011 leaving handset subsidies virtually aside and turning the focus to stimulating usage. In 2013, the company maintained this approach by being more aggressive in selling smart / webphones and mini modems as the goal for increasing the penetration of these devices on the base to encourage the use of data.
The intensive capital is also one of the main characteristics of the telecommunication industry. In order to support the increase in network traffic over the years, large investments in technology and infrastructure are needed to ensure scale and quality of services.
As a provider of an essential service to the socioeconomic development of the country, the Company strongly believes that Brazil is consolidating itself in a prominent position in the global economy and is pleased to contribute to the development of the country's infrastructure, promoting the universalization of telecommunication services. The Company reaffirms its investment commitment in 2014 and the relentless quest for more and better services, striving to meet all the needs of all its shareholders.
Regulation in the sector
The telecommunications sector is submitted to the regulation of the National Agency of Telecommunications - ANATEL, special autarchy responding to the Ministry of the Communications, with independent management. ANATEL is responsible for ruling standards related to telecommunications services and to the relationship between different operators, as provided in the General Law of Telecommunications (Law nº 9,472, of July 16th, 1997).
Specifically concerning the operational activity of TIM, Intelig and TIM Fiber, ANATEL has developed a strict regulation of mobile communications services (Personal Mobile Service - SMP), of fixed telephony (Commuted Fixed Telephonic Service - STFC) and data-communication (Multimedia Service of Communication - SCM). In the second semester of 2012, the operators Fiber SP and Fiber RJ were incorporated by TIM, which assumed the continuity of service providing.
In light of the dynamism in the sector, especially because of changes in technology experienced by the operators, mainly regarding SMP, the standards issued by ANATEL might be regularly updated.
In order to share the planning of its action with the society and to optimize the implementation of the public policies established by the Executive, ANATEL approved the General Plan of Update of Telecommunications Regulation in Brazil - PGR (Resolution No. 516/2008). In PGR, the ANATEL establishes actions of short, medium and long run, defined, respectively, in 2, 5 and 10 years.
This process of normative adequacy takes in consideration the technical analyses of ANATEL specialized areas and the matters resulting of public hearings, by means of which the regulation update proposals are debated between ANATEL, state authorities and the society, always closely followed by the Company.
The publication of Presidential Decree no. 7,512, as of June 30th, 2011, also provided very important landmarks for the sector, as the auction of fourth generation radiofrequencies and the determination of quality goals for broadband, which resulted in a new regulation for SMP and SCM, setting quality standards for mobile and fixed broadband, in phase of implementation by means of a group of companies and ANATEL, whose full adaptation will require new investments and the Decree has also approved the new Public Consultation on the Regulation of the General Plan for Fixed Telephony Services in Public Regime (PGMU), to be mandatorily observed by the STFC (Service of Commuted Fixed Telephone) concessionaires.
Part of the new quality targets for the SMP have become mandatory at the end of March 2012 and the rest mandatory at the end of October 2012. However, the quality targets set for the SCM have become mandatory at the beginning of November 2012.
Due to the new PGMU, ANATEL issued the Regulation of Universal Access Obligations in October 2012.
Throughout 2012, other important regulations with great impact on TIM operation and Intelig were issued by ANATEL, especially those listed below:
Finally, another important important regulatory mark for the telecommunications sector was the issue of the Law no. 12.485 on September 2011, which brought a new scenario for the pay-TV services and for the production and distribution of content, creating the Conditional Access Audiovisual Media and Service – SeAC. Due to this law, ANATEL issued, on March 2012, the Regulation of SeAC, establishing the conditions to provide this service and the paid TV services already existing.
Afterwards, throughout 2013, important Regulations and Public Consultations with great impact on TIM and Intelig operation were issued by ANATEL, mainly those listed below:
VU-M and Wholesale Market
The interconnection of telecommunications operators is mandatory, allowing the users of different telecommunications services of collective interest (in special, STFC, SMP and the Mobile Service Specialized - SME) originated and terminated on different networks.
In the case of SMP, ANATEL has established that, whenever its network is used to originate or to receive calls, the operators shall receive the “Valor de uso de rede do SMP” (MTR), also known as mobile termination rate, of free agreement between the related parties.
In the scope of its participation in the Bidding nº 002/2007/SPV, which assured to the Company the licenses to use radio frequencies in 3G sub bands, ANATEL urged TIM to adopt a single MTR by Region of the SMP License General Plan - PGA, valid from November 1st, 2010, of free agreement between the related parts (Act no. 8.849/2009-CD).
In October 2011, Anatel approved Resolution no. 576/2011, which stablishs a mechanism of reduction of values for fixed-mobile calls of STFC incunbents (VC-1), by means of an 18% reduction in February 2012, 12% in 2013, and 10% in 2014, on the Telecommunications Services Index - IST. Actually, this negative readjustment of VC-1 rates should be followed by new negotiations for agreement of the VU-M of SMP operators, whose criterion defined in the aforementioned Regulation imputes that the full nominal reduction of the VC-1 will be forwarded to the VU-M.
Considering the aforementioned rules, through the Act no. 486/2012, ANATEL established the first reduction of VC-1 of the STFC concessionaires, in force from 25 February 2012 on. Furthermore, considering that the operators did not succeed in negotiating new VU-M amounts, the Agency set the new remuneration values of the SMP providers for the calls originated in the concessionaires networks, also in force from 25 February 2012 (Act no. 1.055/2012, subsequently rectified by the Act no. 1.480/2012).
By understanding that the VU-M reduction, as determined by ANATEL, did not take into consideration the need of preserving the competition in SMP market, TIM filled an administrative appeal against the respective acts. To the same end and considering the deadlock in the agreement negotiation of its VU-M values with the other operators, TIM opened arbitration proceedings at ANATEL.
In December 2012, as the Agency Board of Directors had dismissed the appeals brought by TIM and kept the VU-M figures fixed through the Act no. 1.055/2012, such as rectified through the Act no. 1.480/2012, TIM requested the Arbitration Board of Interconection, an instance of ANATEL, the confirmation of these same figures for its interconnecting relationship with the other operators (in some cases, the negotiation for the agreement of these figures were reopened).
Notwithstanding, before the News that the reduction of VC-1 of the STFC concessionaires was (or might be) left over under legal measures obtained by these operators, TIM has been preserving for such hypotheses – also by administrative measures at ANATEL – its right to the previous VU-M applicable to in the respective interconnection relationships.
On the other hand, regarding other wholesale market of significant interest for TIM, ANATEL published in May 2012, as a result of the Public Hearing no. 50/2010, which approved the new Regulation of the Industrial Exploration of Dedicated Lines – EILD (REILD), disciplining mechanisms for the optimization of the operational structure for the hiring of transmission circuits, in order to enhance the transparency of the hiring costs and allowing isonomic treatment to the operators that are independent from the concessionaire Groups.
Indeed, the new REILD represented a meaningful advance, inasmuch as it established, especially, (1) more effective rules concerning the definition of projects such as the Standard or Special EILD, as well as the deadlines for hiring and beginning of supply and (ii) specific procedure for the solution of conflicts involving the supply of EILD.
In parallel, ANATEL approved, also in May 2012, the Act no. 2.716/2012, which set the reference EILD values – significantly inferior to those indicated by the Act no. 50.065/2005 -, which equally represented a great advance, in order to guide the figures arbitration in case of conflicts among the operators.
In accordance with the new REILD, the agreements previously made to its editing should be adapted within 120 (one hundred and twenty) days counted from the publication of Resolution no. 590/2012. Although TIM had started negotiations aiming to adapt its EILD agreements, in certain cases the existence of deadlock among the parties took this operator to require ANATEL’s intervention to solve the conflict. Notwithstanding, the new REILD sets a specific procedure for the prompt solution of conflicts involving the supply of dedicated lines, the adoption of legal measures by the companies of Group Oi has delayed the effective adequacy of the EILD agreements made with TIM.
Finally, it is worth highlighting that, in November 2012, after a long period of public hearing, ANATEL edited the Resolution no. 600/2012, which approved the General Plan of Competition Targets (PGMC). Besides the general rationality regarding the rule, it may not be different from the version submited to the Public Hearing no. 41/2011 – implementing in the sector regulation the identification of the relevant markets, in which there are competition risks and Groups which have Dominant Position (PMS) to impose Asymmetric Regulatory Measures in order to promote the competition – several specific rules were largely altered.
All in all, the PGMC set the following relevant wholesale markets (i) interconnection in fixed telephone networks; (ii) interconnection in mobile network; (iii) interconnection Class V; (iv) infrastructure and access networks in fixed network; (v) infrastructure and transport networks, which includes the supply of EILD; (vi) passive infrastructure and network; (vii) national roaming and (viii) interconnection.
In parallel, ANATEL edited 5 (five) acts identifying Groups with PMS in the following relevant markets defined by PGMC: (i) Offer of Access Fixed Network Infrastructure for Data Transmission through a Copper Pair or a Coaxial Cable in Transmission Rates Equal or Inferior to 10 Mbps (Act no. 6.615, as of 8 November 2012); (ii) Wholesale Offer of Fixed Network Infrastructure of Local and Long Distance Transport for Data Transmission in Transmission Rates Equal or Inferior to 34 Mbps (Act no. 6.619, as of 8 November 2012); (iii) Passive Infrastructure for transport and access networks (Act no. 6.620, as of 8 of November 2012); (iv) Ending of Calls in Mobile Networks (Act no. 6.621, as of 8 of November 2012); and National Roaming (Act no. 6.622, as of 8 November 2012).
Group TIM was characterized as having PMS in the following markets: (i) Passive Infrastructure for transport and access networks (supply of towers); (ii) Ending of Calls in Mobile Networks; and (iii) National Roaming.
Among the Asymmetric Regulatory Measures initially set by ANATEL, it is worth highlighting (i) obligation to create Reference Offers in order to assure greater transparency in the offers made by PMS Groups, (ii) possibility of setting reference values in protective measures committee, (iii) guarantee of attending the demands from Groups which do not have PMS and (iv) creation of entities to provide the most effectiveness to the PGMC rules.
On the other hand, the PGMC established of Bill & Keep rules to be followed by PMS Groups in the interconnection in mobile network market, as well as the limits to the VU-M reference values of PMS Groups from 2014 on. Such rules that were not contained in the initial draft submitted to the Public Hearing no. 41/2011, motivated the presentation of partial annulment of PGMC by TIM, registered at ANATEL on 26 December 2012.
The new VU-M to be practiced from 24 February 2014 on were published in the official government gazette, following the rules set in PGMC. However, in order to assure the period of 12 months for the application of readjustments on the VU-M, TIM appealed to the act, requesting that its application took place from 6 April 2014 on. The request of the PGMC annulment and the request of application of VU-M values of PGMC from 6 April on have not been judged by the Agency yet.
The Resolution Nº 588/2012 , redefined the criteria applied to the remuneration of Commuted Fixed Telephone Service Providers destined for the use of the general public (STFC) through the use of its STFC networks, when interconnected to networks of other Collective Interest Telecommunication Service Providers. Among the main alterations, it is important highlighting:
a) 25% (twenty-five per cent) until December 31th, 2012;
b) 20% (twenty per cent) from January 1st, 2013 on.
Cost Model
The implementation of a costs model by Anatel is being developed since March 2005, with the publication of Resolution No. 396/2005, which approved the Document of Separation and Allocation of Accounts - DSAC, for pricing of STFC and SMP interconnection, as well as wholesale market supplies, especially dedicated lines (EILD) and unbundling.
In continuity to the process for its effective implementation by Anatel, in August 2011, a consortium headed by Advisia Consultancy was hired by means of bidding in partnership with the International Telecommunications Union - ITU, so as to develop the optimized modeling of costs, with two years term for conclusion, which will be the base of all the models the agency will use, especially for setting rates and prices of telecommunications services inputs.
The optimized implementation of the costs model was one of the short-term goals set forth in the PGR, with expectation of conclusion for October 2010; however, its technical complexity indicates that Anatel will only effectively use it in 2014.
As a result of these efforts, in July 2012 ANATEL submitted to the Public Hearing no. 26/12 the Proposal of Relevant Documents for the telecommunication cost model. The deadline for the presentation of contributions ended in 30 August 2012, with the register of 121 contributions to Anatel.
In December 2012, Anatel, along with UIT and Advisia, society that leads the international consortium hired to develop the cost model, promoted a seminar on the project that has been developed, highlighting that the model will be fundamental so that ANATEL complies with the sectorial public policies, once it will allow the access to cost management information of different business areas and product lines of the telecommunication service providers.
To summarize, the three financial models that shall serve as conceptual framework for decision-making are: (i) FAC-HCA to discuss cost recovery, (ii) FAC CCA to analyze new members, and (iii) LRIC for analyzing and promoting competition. As a main result of this activity, ANATEL approved the adoption of reference values, especially the VU-M, through the PGMC, from February 2016, shall have as basis the developed cost model.
In 2013, ANATEL reviewed nearly all regulation of cost models through the publications of the Resolutions no. 608/2013 and no. 619/2013. In accordance with these new resolutions, which update the previous provision in Resolution no. 396/2005, the level of information reported to the Agency and the amount of products analyzed are highly expanded, besides having a standardization for all operators with regard to the cost allocation costs, which shall allow the comparison among their results. Furthermore, in September 2013, Anatel, through the provision in the Public Hiring no. 40, informs that from 2014 on, TIM and the other mobile operators shall send more two cost models besides FAC HCA (Fully Allocated Cost Historical Cost Accounting) sent since 2007. They comprehend the CCA (Current Cost Accounting) and LRIC (Long Run Incremental Cost). Before that, the mobile operators did not have to send it.
In 31 December 2013, in accordance with the PGMC determinations, ANATEL would disclose the interconnection tariffs (VUM) which shall come into effect from 2016 on, values resulting from its long-term bottom up model (LRIC – Long Run Incremental Cost). However, the need for major analysis on the tariff figures by the Agency postponed this disclosure, whose most likely foreseen date is February 2014.
Frequency Spectrum
The Company has the license for SMP services in the frequency ranges 450 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1.8 GHz and 1.9/2.1 GHz and 2.5 GHz, what allows it to provide mobile communication services in the technologies 2G, 3G and 4G all over the country.
In October 2010, ANATEL started the bidding No. 002/2010-PVCP/SPV for sub band H (band of 1.9/2.1 GHz - 3G) and the leftovers of 1.8 GHz (2G) bands. Because of impediments defined by ANATEL, related to the limits for detention of radiofrequencies, the current SMP service providers, with operation in the band of 1.9/2.1 GHz, were not eligible for the bidding of sub band H.
The impossibility of participation of the current SMP service providers in the bidding of sub band H, allowed Nextel to buy a national 3G coverage and a 2G presence, in Region I of PGA, with a total investment of R$ 1,421.3 million.
In December 2011, Bidding nº 001/2011-PVCP/SPV started, with the remainder of the
Aforementioned bidding. 16 blocks in the band of 1.800 MHz were sold to the telecommunications service providers Claro, Oi, CTBC and TIM, which acquired the biggest amount of MHz with the lesser premium. TIM Authorization Terms for the use of radiofrequency were signed on May 2013.
As a result of its participation in both Biddings, TIM, with an investment of $ 65 million, related to bidding in December 2010 and R$73 million (value without monetary restatement), related to bidding in December 2011, may expand its coverage 2G and intensify its presence in the North and Midwest regions of the country, the states of Paraná, Espírito Santo, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Minas Gerais, areas that have registered strong economic growth.
In June 2012, ANATEL promoted the bidding of 450 MHz and 2500 MHz bands, in order to introduce the so-called fourth generation technology in Brazil (4G) to serve, until 30 April 2013, the host cities of the Confederations Cup – Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Salvador and Brasília, as well as to prepare to host the World Cup, in 2014 and the Olympic Games, in 2015, besides developing coverage in rural areas.
If there was a company that was interested just in 450 MHz national scope band (Lot 1), the lots of 2500 MHz would be bid isolatedly. However, before the inexistence of companies interested just in 450 MHz band, this band was bid along with the lots of 2500 MHz bands. As a result, the winner of each lot took part of the 2500 MHz national scope band and the 450 MHz in specific places, divided into the 4 (four) major SMP Brazilian operators (TIM, Vivo, Claro and Oi), which together form the Brazilian territory.
Claro won Lot 2, acquiring the 2510 to 2530 MHz and the 2630 to 2650 MHz national scope sub bands and the 450 MHz band for an amount higher than R$844 million in the states of Acre, Amazonas, Amapá, Bahia, Maranhão, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima, Tocantins and metropolitan region and coast of the state of São Paulo.
Vivo won Lot 3, acquiring the 2550 to 2570 MHz and the 2670 to 2690 MHz national scope sub bands and the 450 MHz band for an amount higher than R$1 billion in the states of Alagoas, Ceará, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Pernanbuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, Sergipe and the interior of São Paulo.
TIM won Lot 4, acquiring the 2530 to 2540 MHz, the 2650 to 2660 MHz national scope sub bands, and the 450 MHz band for an amount of R$340 million in the states of Espírito Santo, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro and Santa Catarina (the 450 MHz band was acquired along with Intelig).
Finally, OI won Lot 5, acquiring the 2540 to 2550 MHz and the 2660 to 2670 MHz national scope sub bands and the 450 MHz band for an amount higher than R$330 million in the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul and Distrito Federal.
The Terms of Authorization were signed in October 2012. The first commitment of coverage due to April 2013, which covers the host cities of the Confederation Cup met the deadline. The coverage solution was developed based on a RAN sharing agreement with OI, which has a complementary band besides TIM’s. The agreement foresees the access network sharing, preserving the individual autonomy of each service provider and the activation of both lots of radiofrequency owned by each operator.
The first commitments of rural coverage linked to the 450 MHz band shall be required in June 2014. The rural obligations will be served by Intelig, which took part in the bid along with TIM, using the STFC. The commitments of rural coverage are rather onerous and require heavy investments of coverage, service offer in rural schools, construction of towers and cession of means for the local STFC concessionaire to comply with the PGMU obligations and with the imposed commitment of acquiring products with national technology.
The authorizations that foresees the license for the use of radiofrequency to provide SMP are in force for undetermined period. They have the following dates of expiry, with the possibility of one single renewal for more than 15 years. In case of renewal, this must be confirmed each 2 years and the percentage figure of 2% over the net income of the first year shall be paid to the Granting Power each two years. Such payment takes into consideration only the net income of the region covered by the license that had been renewed. The SMP authorizations that are in force on 31 December 2013 are showed in the table below:

In the course of 2012 and 2013, such as in previous years, TIM faced again discussions when the licenses to use radiofrequencies were extended. As a result of this extension, ANATEL understand that TIM is responsible for (i) providing a new licensing of its SMP radio-base and mobile stations, with the respective collection of the new TFI (Installation Fiscalization Taxes), as well as (ii) collecting public price corresponding to onus of 2% (two per cent) over its SMP income, which comprehends the service plans, interconnection and facilities and additional amenities (Value Added Services – SVA) incomes.
TIM understands the aforementioned demands are improper and promoted the challenge of the collected amounts, through administrative channels, before ANATEL, as well as along the Judiciary, in order to obtain the confirmation of its understanding and the annulment of charges from the Agency.
Quality Regulation
Published by ANATEL in October 2011, the SMP and SCM Quality Management Regulations impose quality parameters that will have to be met by the mobile telephony and internet connection operators.
Most of the targets set started to be required by the end of October 2012 and beginning of November 2012.
Among such parameters of quality, we highlight the ones related to the quality of the networks, both mobile and fixed, creating obligations of minimum and average speeds in figures way above the ones currently used by the operators, which demanded, in short term, investments so that such obligations were met.
Because of the necessity of better quantification of the financial impacts, Oi’s Group has presented a cancellation request along with a revision request of certain indicators, with the objective to request ANATEL the presentation of technical surveys and economic impacts that motivated the issuance of such regulations.
The aforementioned mentioned request was submitted for a hearing by ANATEL, which resulted in a series of contrary contributions to the maintenance of quality metrics, on the part of telecommunications services operators implied, which are under examination by the Agency.
Regarding the STFC, the ANATEL Board of Directors approved the edition of the Quality Management Regulation for providers of this service in December 2012, which was published in February 2013. The new STFC quality targets started to be required from June 2013 on.
The aim of these new Regulations is making Available a new Quality Management model, which includes, besides the network and customer care technical requirements, the consumer’s perception regarding the service rendered and the inclusion of indicators to provide broadband in mobile networks and indicators regardless the Service Provider (reaction indicators).
In practice, the measurements have already been made since May 2012. However, the Internet indicators, Guarantee of Hired Immediate Transmission Rate and Guarantee of Hired Average Transmission Rate started partial measurements in November 2012. Until now, ANATEL is disclosing to the general public only internet indicators.
Consolidation of STFC Authorizations of TIM and Intelig and Incorporation of the operators Fiber SP and Fiber RJ by TIM with the waive of SCM authorizations by the incorporated operators.
With the acquisition of Intelig by TIM Participações (operation approved by ANATEL through the Act no. 4.364/2009), the Group TIM, pursuant the regulation in force, had to eliminate the overlaps of existing authorizations (both TIM Celular and Intelig had STFC authorizations in Local National Long Distance – LDN and International Long Distance – LDI).
To that end, a period of 18 months was stipulated, from the operation closing (Act no. 5.470/2010) to eliminate such overlap, prolonged for more 12 months (Act no. 4.559/2011), which ended on 30 June 2012.
In this respect, TIM registered, on 30 December 2011, petitions formalizing to the Agency the consolidation of its Terms of Authorization of STFC in local modality in Intelig and the consolidation of its Terms of Authorization of STFC LDN and LDI in TIM Celular. Therefore, since 30 June 2012, TIM Celular no longer has authorization to provide STFC in local modality and Intelig no long has authorizations to provide STFC in long-distance modalities. As a result, TIM does not make use of CSP 23 anymore and it gave it back to ANATEL, remaining its STFC LDN and LDI operation linked to the CSP 41, under the authorization of TIM Celular, remaining with Intelig the authorization of Local STFC.
Moreover, all impacted subscribers received a communication, either by mass circulation newspapers in the country, correspondences, telecommunication services invoices and SMS, in order to clarify all the imposed changes due to the need of eliminating the overlap of grants hold by these operators.
The additives to the Terms of Authorization of STFC signed between the Group TIM and ANATEL regarding the aforementioned situation were published on October 26th, 2012.
In August 29th, 2012 the companies Fiber SP and Fiber RJ formalized at ANATEL their waive to the authorizations to explore SCM. Then there was the incorporation of both by TIM, which already has authorization to provide this service. Before the waive, the Fibers authorizations of SCM were eliminated by ANATEL. With the incorporation of Fibers, TIM, as successor, started rendering the services previously rendered by those companies.
Operating Results
Customer Base
In 2012 the Brazilian mobile market reached 261.8 million lines, representing an annual growth of 8.1% (vs. 19.4% in 4T11) and a penetration rate of 132.8%, from 123.9% at the end of 2011. The mobile market growth was supported: i) by the stimulus both to local on-net calls as well as long distance (which creates a multiple effect sales of SIM-card in the prepaid segment), ii) by the machine-to-machine (M2M) segment, and iii) the growing demand for data services, especially in smart / webphones
In 2013 the Brazilian mobile market reached 271.1 million lines, representing an annual growth of 3.6% and a penetration rate of 136.4% compared to 132.8% in 4T12. The growth of the mobile market continued to be supported: i) by the machine-to-machine (M2M) segment, ii) by the growing demand for data services, especially in smart / webphones and iii) migration of prepaid to post-paid.
In 2013, the Brazilian mobile market recorded 9.3 million net additions, a deceleration of -52.3% versus the record of 2012 (19.5 million). In 2011, the Brazilian mobile market ended the year with 39.3 million net additions.
The total subscriber base of the Company ended the year 2013 with 73.4 million lines, 4.4% higher than 4T12 and 14.5% higher than 4T11, representing market-share of 27.1%. The post-paid base reached 12.3 million users, a 14.6% p.a. increase versus +15.2% in 4T12.
In the prepaid segment, total users reached 61.1 million, a 2.5% p.a. increase - heavily leveraged by Infinity Pre plan, which reached 59.5 million users (97.4% of the base of this segment).
Network & Quality
TIM’s mobile phone structure network is based on GSM technology. TIM has a national reach of approximately 95% of the urban population, the largest GSM coverage in Brazil, present in 3.4 thousand cities. TIM also has extensive data coverage throughout the country, with 100% GPRS, it also has a sophisticated network of Third Generation (3G) approximately 78% of urban population in Brazil. As for 4G TIM currently serves 27.1% of the urban population of the country.
TIM performed significant investments throughout the year, R$ 3.5 billion alone in infrastructure in 2013 to expand coverage and capacity, following the growth of voice and data traffic.
The Company maintained the internal network quality monitoring program started in 2009, based on sample measurements performed on the roads of the major metropolitan areas of the country. The program tracks the performance of TIM network and also the other mobile carriers, and it is used to make fine adjustments and provide network quality improvement.
It’s also important to highlight the changes in the regulation of SMP quality, initiated in March 2012, changed how data is collected, increasing its granularity, requiring greater efforts for its coverage. Thus, TIM, submitted to Anatel's approval a National Action Plan for Improvement of SMP Provision, providing a significant increase in investments to improve quality during the triennium 2013-2015, totaling more than R$ 10.7 billion; of this total more than 90% will go to network infrastructure.
In the context of adaptation to the new regulations, TIM has already achieved a significant improvement in meeting the new targets. According to the last Supervisory Cycle released by Anatel, which comprises the results of the months from May to July 2013, TIM had results within established goals for most indicators, highlighting positively the access to voice network and access to 3G data network, in which TIM is on target and has the best results when compared to other carriers.
MOU (minutes of use)
In 2013, the MOU reached 148 minutes, an increase of 8.8% in comparison with the last year. This performance is due to the increase of post-paid costumers
b. variations of revenues due to price changes, exchange rates, inflation, volume changes and the introduction of new products and services.
The Company’s revenue is basically composed of local currency; therefore, it is not affected by possible currency variations. It is directly affected by changes in the customer base, volume of use variation and changes in prices due to new price plan, product launches or introduction of promotions. The Company may adjust its prices to the public provided that they are within the limit approved by ANATEL, the maximum value is subject to an annual readjustment, based on the inflation. Despite price readjustments being allowed by ANATEL, in many cases, the strong competition in this sector has caused reduction of prices, affected by promotions involving intra-net minutes.
Total net revenue of 2013 was R$19,921 million (an expansion of 6.17% compared to 2012), while services net revenue amounted to R$16,701 million (1.71% more than 2012), impacted mainly by the expansion of the VAS revenue. The handsets net revenue amounted to R$3,220 million in the same period, an expansion of 3.38% compared to the same period of the last year, reflecting the Company strategy of increasing the penetration of smart/webphones to boost the use of data services
VAS revenues represented 21.4% of services gross revenue, amounting to R$5,353 million, an increase of 21.5% YoY. The VAS were always present in the Company’s market launch agenda.
The Company has a strong commitment to innovation. We were pioneers in the launch of many products, such as the introduction of MMS and Blackberry in Brazil. We believe that some of our mobile plans, such as Liberty (unlimited use) and Infinity (pay per call concept), changed the mobile market in Brazil, in line with our strategy of stimulating voice traffic, long distance calls, and accelerating the process of change from fixed to mobile. Our growth in the mobile market does not create revenue cannibalization, as we do not have business in the fixed market.
c. impact of inflation, of variation of prices of the main inputs and products, of the exchange rate and interest rate on the issuer’s operating income and financial result
Inflation: Possible increases of inflation rates could result in costs to the Company and consequently the reduction of margin. In the case of strong inflation scenario, the government could adopt a more austere monetary policy, such as the increase of interest rates, reducing credit supply and increasing the cost of credit, consequently affecting our costumers of telecommunication services.
Interest Rates: The Company’s financial expenses are affected by fluctuation in interest rates, such as TJLP (Long Term Interest Rate) used by BNDES and CDI (Interbank Deposit Certificate). The Company keeps its financial resources invested mainly in CDI, which substantially reduces the risk. In 2011, the Company presented the total amount of R$ 3,265 million of resources and a gross debt of R$3,705 million with a current portion of R$1,111 million and a level of debt in relation to EBITDA of 0.51x.
In 2012, the Company presented the total amount of resources of R$ 4.431 million and a gross debt of R$4,279 million with a current portion R$951 million and a level of debt in relation to EBITDA of -0,03x.
In 2013, the Company presented the total amount of resources of R$ 5,288 million a gross debt of de R$4,867 million with a current portion R$1,009 million and a level of debt in relation to EBITDA of -0,08x.
Currency: By the end of 2011, approximately 33% of the debt had currency exposure. To protect itself from currency fluctuations, the Company keeps its hedge policy to 100% of exposure through Swap rate agreements.
In 2012, the exchange exposure decreased to 22%. To protect itself from currency fluctuations, the Company keeps its hedge policy to 100% of exposure through Swap rate agreements.
In 2013, the debt exchange exposure was 37%. To protect itself from currency fluctuations, the Company keeps its hedge policy to 100% of exposure through Swap rate agreements.
Furthermore, the Company purchases part of network equipments and mobile phones from global suppliers, which are priced in US Dollar. The decrease of Brazilian Real in relation to the US Dollar could result in a relative increase of product acquisition prices.
10.3. The directors shall comment the relevant effects that the events bellow have caused, or are expected to cause, in the issuer financial statements and its results:
a. operational segment introduction or disposal
With the purchase of AES Atimus in 2011, we started to have the following lines of business in our subsidiaries.
TIM
Intelig
Tim Fiber RJ and TIM Fiber SP
The Group strategy is focused in maximize the consolidated results of TIM Participações. This strategy includes the optimization of each company Group operation, as well as the use of synergy between those entities. Despite the diverse activities, the decision makers understand that the Group represents only one business segment and does not include specific strategies focused only in one line of service. All decisions related to strategic planning, finances, purchases, investments and application of resources are made in consolidated basis. The objective is always maximizing the consolidated result obtained by the exploration of the SMP, STFC and SCM licenses.
b. constitution, acquisition or disposal of shareholding
Acquisition of TIM Fiber RJ and TIM Fiber SP
The wholly-owned subsidiary TIM Celular signed, with Companhia Brasiliana de Energia and with AES Elpa S.A. (companies of AES Brasil Group), a contract aiming the purchase their shareholdings in Eletropaulo Telecomunicações Ltda. (100%) and in AES Communications Rio de Janeiro S.A. (98,3%). The contract was signed on July 8, 2011. On October 31, 2011, after the meeting of the preceding contractual conditions and other conditions external to the agreement (such as the approval of by regulatory bodies) the operation of acquisition of the shares of Companhia Brasiliana de Energia and AES Elpa S.A was concluded. The values disbursed were R$1,074.179 and R$447,471 respectively. Still during the fiscal year of 2011, Eletropaulo Telecomunicações Ltda. has changed its corporate name to TIM Fiber SP Ltda, and AES Communications Rio de Janeiro S.A. changed its corporate name to TIM Fiber RJ S.A.
After the acquisition of shares in AES Communications Rio de Janeiro S.A., TIM Celular extended to the minority shareholders of AES Communications Rio de Janeiro S.A., the offer of its shares, for the same amount offered to the old Company’s Controlling Shareholder. By the end of the offer on February 27, 2012, TIM Celular had acquired an additional interest of 1.4% in the entity.
On July 18, 2012, at Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), the shareholders of TIM Fiber RJ approved the reverse split of the subsidiary shares in the proportion of 50.000 ordinary shares to 1 share of the same type. As a result of this process, TIM Celular became the holder of the entire capital of TIM Fiber RJ. The fractional shares resulting from this reverse split were canceled, the values of such fractions available to the respective shareholders for a period of 3 years counting from the date of publication of the minutes of EGM. The reimbursement of these fractions shall occur in accordance with the proportions held by each shareholder immediately before the reverse share split.
On August 29, 2012, TIM Fiber RJ and TIM Fiber SP presented the waiver of their grant of SCM to Anatel. In the same day, were performed a (i) Meeting of Members of TIM Fiber SP and (ii) General Meetings of TIM Fiber RJ and TIM Celular, pondering about the corporate merge of the two first entities in the structure of the last. As a result of this operation, all the operation, including the customer base of TIM Fiber RJ and TIM Fiber SP has migrated to TIM Celular.
This acquisition main target was the expansion of TIM’s performance in the business of high velocity data communication, enabling to the Company to offer of new products to its customers, as well as enabling a reduction in the costs of infrastructure rent, in addition to obtain important synergy related to optical fiber network.
c. Unusual events or operations
There was no process that could generate nonrecurring events that impact the financial results in 2013.
10.4. The directors shall comment:
a. significant changes in accounting practices
Radiofrequency use authorization
The Company and its subsidiaries objective is to continuously improve their corporate governance level, with the presentation of the financial statements and, mainly, the alignment to the accounting practices required by the Securities Commission – CVM and the international practices specifically applicable to their business. This way, the Company and its subsidiaries promoted an analysis of the best accounting practices applicable to their business that resulted in changes, which the effects are presented below:
After the expiration date of radiofrequency right of use providing SMP, ANATEL concedes the right of renewal for more 15 years. In this case, every two years, the amount of 2% of the last year net revenue of each region covered should be paid to the Grating Power.
The Company had adopted the procedure to make the value recording of this renewal in the income for the year on the line of “Cost of Services”, proportional to the corresponding period. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company decided to modify the accounting treatment, capitalizing on the full value of determined license renewal and amortizing it in determined period. The Said accounting treatment was adopted retroactively to the last fiscal years and has made the necessary adjustments and/or reclassifications.
Purchase Price Allocation “PPA”
The PPA from the acquisition of TIM Fiber RJ and TIM Fiber SP, was concluded on October 31, 2012 and registered retroactively in the Company’s financial statement, as required by IFRS 3.
The adjustment from the definitive allocation process in the financial statement of the end of fiscal year on December 31, 2011 is shown below.

c. qualifications and emphasis in the auditor’s opinion
The individual financial statement was developed in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. In the case of TIM Participações S.A., these practices are different from the IFRS practices, applicable to financial statement separated, only regarding the valuation of investments in subsidiaries by the equity method, since for purpose of IFRS it would be cost or fair value. The opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
10.5. The directors shall indicate and comment critical account policies adopted by the issuer, exploring, particularly, accounting estimates made by the management about uncertain matters and relevant for the financial situation description and the results, that require subjective or complex judgment, such as: provisions, contingencies, revenue knowledge, tax credits, long-lived assets, useful life of non-current assets, pension plans, conversion adjustments, environmental remediation costs, in foreign currency, criteria for test of assets and financial instruments recovery.
Critical Accounting Policies
The fundamental accounting policies are those significant to represent our financial situation and operation results and require more complex and subjective judgment from the management, frequently demanding from the Board an estimate about uncertain nature factors. As the number of variables and assumptions that affects a possible resolution of future uncertainties increases, decisions become more complex. We based our estimates and assumptions in the historical experience, industry trends and other factors that we consider reasonable in the circumstances. The actual results may differ from the previewed results and different future assumptions or estimative may change the stated financial results. To facilitate the understanding of how the Company’s management estimates the potential impact of some uncertainties, including the variables and assumptions that support the estimates, we identify the fundamental accounting policies discussed next. We describe our main accounting policies, including those described below, in the specific explanatory note of our consolidated financial statement.
(a) Loss on impairment of non-financial assets
Losses from impairment take place when the book value of assets or cash generation units exceeds the respective recoverable value, which is considered as the fair value less selling costs, or the value in use, whichever is greater. The calculation of the fair value less selling costs is based on the information available from sale transactions involving similar assets or market prices, less the additional costs incurred to dispose of such assets. The value in use is based on the discounted cash flow model. Cash flows derive from the Company's business plan for a period equivalent to the useful life of the asset being analyzed. Any reorganization activities to which the Company has not committed itself on the base date on which the financial statements are reported or any material future investments aimed at improving the asset base of the cash generation unit being tested are excluded for the purposes of the impairment test.
The recoverable value is sensitive to the discount rates used in the discounted cash flow method, as well as with expected cash receivables and the growth rate of revenue and expenses used for extrapolation purposes. Adverse economic conditions may lead to significant changes in these premises.
As at December 31, 2013 and 2012, the main non-financial assets for which this assessment was made are the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of Intelig and the goodwill in the Company and its subsidiaries (see notes 17 e 18).
(b) Asset retirement obligation (see note 26)
The estimated costs of dismantling towers and equipment on rented property are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of these assets. The Company uses estimates to recognize the present value of these costs and their amortization period. These estimates involve projected dismantling costs,the the average tenor of the lease agreements and the discount rate to determine their present value. This estimate is susceptible to a variety of economic conditions that may not in fact arise when the assets are actually dismantled.
(c) Income tax and social contribution (current and deferred)
Income tax and social contribution (current and deferred) are calculated in accordance with prudent interpretations of the legislation currently in force. This process normally includes complex estimates in order to define the taxable income and temporary differences that are deductible or taxable. In particular, deferred tax assets on income tax and social contribution losses, and temporary differences are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available to be offset by them. The recoverability of the deferred income tax on tax and social contribution losses and temporary differences takes into account estimates of future taxable income and is based on conservative tax assumptions.
(d) Impairment of accounts receivable
The impairment of accounts receivable is shown as a reduction from accounts receivable and is recorded based on the customer portfolio profile, the aging of past due accounts, the economic scenario and the risks involved in each case. The impairment is considered sufficient to cover any losses on receivables (see note 8).
(e) Provision for contingencies
Contingencies are analyzed by the Company's management and (internal and external) legal advisors. The Company's reviews take into account factors such as the hierarchy of laws, case law available, recent court decisions and their relevance in the legal order. Such reviews involve management's judgment (see note 25).
(f) Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments (see note 41)
The Company has applied the change in IFRS 7 for financial instruments measured at the fair value in the balance sheet, which requires the disclosure of measurements in accordance with the following hierarchy:
(g) Unbilled revenues
Considering that some billing cut-off dates occur at intermediate dates within the months, at the end of each month there are revenues to be recognized which are not effectively billed to the customers. These unbilled revenues are recorded based on estimates which take into account historical data of usage, number of days since the last billing date, among other factors.
10.6. Regarding internal controls adopted to secure the development of reliable financial statements, the director shall comment:
a. the level of efficiency of these controls, indicating possible imperfection and measures adopted to correct them
The Company Directors believe that the internal procedures and financial statement development systems are enough to secure the efficiency, precision and reliability, as no imperfection was detected by the Company internal controls.
The Company has internal controls that guarantee the process of certification of Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX – Section 404) with no material weakness, in line with the best practices of corporate governance, transparency and the creation of value for long term shareholders. In 2012, TIM received the certification for compliance with the provision required by the Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the year 2011, certification received by TIM since 2006, when this requirement was created for the companies listed in the American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) in the New York Stock Exchange, a demonstration of the Company’s compromise with the highest levels of corporate governance.
b. deficiencies and recommendations about the internal controls presented in the auditor’s report
There was no comment in the auditor’s report, about significant deficiencies and recommendations that could impact the valuation of the Company Management regarding the efficiency of the internal controls by the end of fiscal year on December 31, 2013.
10.7. In case the Issuer had made distribution of securities public offering, the directors shall comment:
Not applicable to the year 2013.
b. in case there was relevant deviation between the effective use of resources and the application proposal disclosed in the prospects of the respective distribution;
Not applicable to the year 2013.
c. In case of deviations, the reason for their occurrence.
Not applicable.
10.8. The directors shall describe the relevant items not included in the issuer’s financial statement, indicating:
a. the assets and liabilities held by the issuer, directly or indirectly, that are not shown in the balance sheet (off-balance sheet items), such as:
i. operational leases, assets and liabilities
ii. portfolios of receivables on which the entity keeps the risks and responsibilities, indicating respective liabilities
iii. contracts of purchase and sales of products and services
iv. contracts of unfinished construction receipt
There are no compromises of material value that are not indicated in the financial statement.
b. other items not included in financial statement
Not applicable, as we do not hold other material items, of other nature, that are not registered in our balance sheet.
10.9. Regarding each item not included in the financial statement indicated in the item 10.8, the director shall comment:
a. As these items change or may change the revenues, expenses, the operational result, the financial expenses or other items of the issuer’s financial statement
Not applicable.
b. nature and purpose of the operation
Not applicable, as we do not hold other items that are not registered in our balance sheet.
c. nature and amount of obligations assumed and the rights generated in favor of the issuer due to the operation
Not applicable.
10.10. The directors shall indicate and comment the main elements of the issuer’s business plan, exploring specially the following topics:
a. investments, including:
i. quantitative and qualitative description of the on-going and previewed investments
In the year 2013, the investments were concentrated in two main fronts, evolution of network and business development, in the proportion of about 92% and 8% respectively. These investments contributed for the improvement in service provision, the growth of customer base, and others.
The evolution of network goes through investments that are stratified in network access of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation, last mile, radio backhauling and optical fiber and backbone beyond the service of fixed residential ultra broad-band in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. These projects aim the expansion of capacity and coverage of TIM infrastructure, ensuring high level of quality and supporting the marketing.
On business development, among other projects, the information technology projects are highlighted for aiming the updating and development of systems and technological platforms of TIM. The referred projects aim the operational and management improvement, and mainly the development of new and innovative products that are trademarks of the Company.
ii. financing and investments source
The Company performed on November, 2011 a public offering of shares and gathered R$1.72 billion to use as financing source for the following investments: (i) Construction of optic fiber networks in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil (2G/3G access and data transmission); (ii) Acceleration of the expansion of coverage with third generation technology (3G); (iii) Acceleration of expansion of own metropolitan networks (fiber-to-the-antenna and micro-waves projects); (iv) New business: launch of residential broadband services in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, beyond the evolution in the corporate market of the region.
On December, 2012, the Company increased its financial line of credit to investments with BNDES. The amendment to the Financing Agreement increased the limit of credit of 1,51 billion to 3,97 billion, and also included Intelig Telecomunicações Ltda, a company directly controlled by the Company, as its signatory. This agreement was terminated throughout the year 2013 and a new agreement was signed.
The new agreement with BNDES preview a new line of credit to the financing of the Company’s CAPEX of the years 2014, 2015 and 2016, in the value of R$5,700 million in an attractive cost. Among the diverse clauses of the agreement, one of them preview that, through this financing, only equipments of national suppliers can be acquired. This reinforces the Company’s commitment with the country industry growth.
iii. relevant divestment in progress and divestments previewed
The Company operates its network service with the GSM in 2G, 3G and 4G. Throughout the year 2010, the Company stopped to operate its network through TDMA technology due to the obsolescence and the reduction of services/equipments available.
b. since already disclosed, indicate the acquisition of plants, equipments, patents and other assets that shall materially influence the issuer’s productive capacity
We did not acquire in 2013 any type of plant, equipment, patent or asset that could materially influence the Company’s productive capacity.
c. new products and services, pointing:
i. description of already disclosed researches in progress
ii. total amounts of expenses by the issuer in researches for the development of new products and services
iii. projects in progress already disclosed
iv. total amounts expended by the issuer in the development of new products and services
Not applicable, as we do not have researches in progress already disclosed.
10.11. Comment about other factors that relevantly affected the operational development and that have not been identified or commented in other items of this section
We do not have identified any factor that relevantly affected the operational development and that have not been commented in other items of this section.

a. objectives of the compensation policy
The Company's Compensation Policy is intended for the individual valorization of each resource, with special attention to the functions that play relevant roles to the Company's business. This contribution is evaluated by an objective analysis of the positions and a subjective analysis of the potentials and high performances.
The organizational evaluation of the positions is made through an internal system, which classifies the positions in “profiles” based in the Hay methodology (system with which the main positions of the organization are evaluated) to:
In comparisons with the market, we use market benchmark: compensation researches that use information of the general market in Brazil that are conducted by specialized firms.
Always searching to be aligned to the Company's short, medium and long term interests, and having as a basis the financial results as parameter for definition of limits of the variable compensation, the equilibrium between the results and premiums of the Company's executives is assured.
Moreover, in the General Meeting dated August 5, 2011, the Long-Term Incentive Plan ("Long-Term Incentive Plan") of the Company was approved, which aims at, by granting purchase options or subscription of shares issued by the Company: (i) to align the interests of the high management to the shareholders' interests; (ii) to implement an integrated incentive system, in order to balance the time horizon and the nature of the objectives; and (iii) increase the competitiveness of the high management compensation package.
The managers - members of the Board of Directors, members of the audit committee, Officers - are compensated by the Company to which they are bound.
In the organizational structure and under the Internal Regulation of the Board of Directors, there is a specific committee to deal with the compensation of the Company's High Management which is the Compensation Committee, which is composed by 3 effective members of the Board of Directors. Such Committee is permanent, and, has as main duties, what follows:
Still under the Internal Regulation, the Committee shall report to the Board of Directors its monitoring activity and evaluation, furthermore, in relation to items (a) and (b) above, the Committee shall report to the Board of Directors, before the Board Meeting which is held after the General Annual Meeting.
In addition to the powers provided above, such Compensation Committee may also assist the Board of Directors in relation to the functions determined in the Long Term Incentive Plan.
Board of Directors:

Anyhow the compensation practice described above, related to each one of the management bodies of the Company, on August 5, 2011, the creation of the Long Term Incentive Plan was approved, which established general terms and conditions for the issue of options referring to the purchase of shares by the members of the Company's high management, in order to supplement and adjust such compensations.
b. compensation composition, indicating:
i. description of the compensation elements and the objectives of each one of them
The Compensation of the Executive Board is composed by 3 elements, with different relevance grades, based on the impacts they may cause to the results of the Company, as follows:
Has the purpose to value the strategic role (position size) and also the subjective characteristics (strategic potential), based on the market.
Has the purpose to reward the officers for estimated and achieved results. The variable compensation is subdivided in two groups, as follows:

2.2) Premium (una tantum)

The compensation structure, as presented in this item, aims to follow the market practices, mainly of the telecommunications market, being annually updated in-line with the market operations and the strategic planning of the Company.
Has the purpose to increase the value received by the executives, aiming at to attract and hold them in the company.
Long Term Incentive Plan:
The Company recently approved a compensation plan based in shares to high managers and those employees holding key positions in the Company. Such a plan has created an incentive mechanism in the long run, which intends to: (i) to align the interests of the high management to the shareholders' interests; (ii) to implement an integrated incentive system, in order to balance the time horizon and the nature of the objectives; and (iii) increase the competitiveness of the high management compensation package.

* There is no Non Statutory Board in TIM Participações.
Besides the aforementioned members of the Board of Directors, there is still an equivalent of 5.25 members who fully abdicated from their compensation during the fiscal year of 2013.
iii. Calculation and adjustment Methodology of each compensation element
The compensation structure, as presented in this item, aims to follow the market practices, mainly of the telecommunications market, being annually updated in-line with the market operations and the strategic planning of the Company.
The organizational evaluation of the positions and compensated values is made through an internal system which classifies the positions in “profiles” based in the Hay methodology (system with which the main positions of the organization are evaluated).
Through this methodology, we simplify the comparison of TIM positioning with the foreign market, in addition of supporting the management and development of the human resources.
In comparisons with the foreign market, we use the compensation researches using information of the general market in Brazil, being conducted by great specialized consulting. In accordance with the result, adjustments for alignment with the market and strategy of the Company are made.
The Board of Directors’ compensation consists of the following elements with various relevance levels, according to the impacts on the Company’s results, as follows:
The fixed remuneration is constituted by the payment of 12 installments per year, plus 13th salary to Statutory and Non-Statutory Board which are ruled by the CLT (Consolidation of Brazilian Labor Laws). The calculation and adjustment methodology of each one of the elements of the fixed compensation shall be compatible with the importance of the function inside the organizational structure, taking as a basis the market parameters as above mentioned.
2.1) MBO
The percentage considers the achievement of the goals in 100%.
The main performance indicators taken into consideration in the determination of the compensation elements are the financial, economic and functional indicators, annually reevaluated and validated.
The variable compensation of the Executive Board is connected to the evolution of the performance indicators of the issuer’s interest. Thereby, we have aligned the interest of the directors to the company's results.
2.2) Premium (una tantum)
Valorization of the individual performance, which justifies the recognition of the company, especially related to tactical initiatives.
The application of this instrument is bound to a determined salary multiple in compensation policy, where we currently grant a maximum value of up to 3,5 salaries.
3.1) Private Pension
The Company has a Private Pension plan with a 1st line financial institution, Banco Itaú, which guarantees for the High Management of the Company the same conditions to the other participants. For nominal wages of up to R$2.620, 00 BRL the company contributes with 1% of this value. In case that the person earns a nominal wage over R$ 2,620.00, the contribution is as follows: 1% of R$ 2,620, 00 plus 6.6% for the difference between R$ 2,620.00 and the nominal wage. For such contribution, the employee shall contribute, at least, with the same value.
Concerning the possibility of early redemption, this can occur under the following events:
In cases of invalidity or death, the beneficiary or its dependents shall receive in cash 100% of the accumulated fund.
At any time, the participant can redeem its part of the contribution, under penalty of the withdrawal by the company of part of the contribution thereof in the same proportion.
It is worth to emphasize that the Private Pension Plan of the Company does not reach the members of the Board of Directors and the members of the audit committee.
3.2) Benefits Package
The Company has a wide package of benefits for the High Administration, where TIM offers, according to the eligibility criteria set: travels corporate card, functional devices, bank benefits, pacts, extended maternity leave, extended paternity leave, health insurance, pharmacy aid, dental plan, supplementary pension plan, child nutrition aid, childcare support, vehicle insurance, life insurance, support for disabled children and meals tickets.
Participation in Specialized Committees:
As presented above, the Company has Specialized Committees, which report to the Board of Directors and whose composition is entirety of effective members of the Board, under its Internal Regulation, which are, the Compensation Committee and Internal Control Committee and Corporate Governance. No member of the Board of Directors is compensated additionally for the participation in Committees.
iv. reasons justifying the compensation composition
Alignment to the Company's short, medium and long term interests, and having as a basis the financial results as a parameter to define the limits of the variable compensation and the stock options plan, the equilibrium between the results and premiums of the Company's executives is assured.
c. main performance indicators which are taken into consideration in the determination of each compensation element
Fixed Compensation - The market practices and the location are the factors considered in the determination of the value.
Variable Compensation:
MBO - the main corporate economic/financial indicators of the Company are associated to this compensation instrument: EBITDA, Net Services Revenue, Net Financial Position, Compliance with Anatel Plan and Quantitative Evaluation of TIM Brasil results carried out by the Board of Directors. Through this instrument, we aim to reach/overcome the goals and objectives of the organization.
Pemium (una tantum) - Valuation of the individual performance, which justifies the recognition of the company. The application of this instrument is not bound to quantitative and predefined objectives. One of the premises is, for example, that the collaborator has good evaluation in the Performance Management Program of the company.
Long Term Incentive Plan - The compensations are made based on cumulative performance periods and in case the objectives are not achieved in a certain year, the options may be exercised in later periods, provided that the accumulated minimum conditions are met.
d. how the compensation is structured to reflect the evolution of the performance indicators
Through the variable compensation instrument and the Long Term Incentive Plan, where we bind economic objectives of the Company to the goals provided in the organization.
e. how the compensation policy or practice is lined up to the interests of the medium and long term issuer
Always searching to be aligned to the short, medium and long term interests of the Company, and, therefore, we bind our programs to the financial/economic indicators we reward in function of the results achieved.
Moreover, in order to implement an incentive system where there is, in addition to the short, medium and long term balance, the alignment of the management interests of the Company with the shareholders' interests, the Company developed and approved in General Meeting the Long Term Incentive Plan.
f. existence of compensation supported by subsidiaries, controlled companies or direct or indirect parent companies
The officers of the Company (including the expatriated ones) as a result of the activities performed to the Company and its Subsidiaries, have its compensation fully supported by its Subsidiary TIM Celular S.A. For the members of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee, when compensated, this compensation is fully supported by the Company.

13.4. In relation to the stock-based compensation plan of the Board of Directors and the statutory Board, in force in the last fiscal year and provided for the current fiscal year, describe:
a. General terms and conditions
In the General Annual Meeting carried out on August 5, 2011, we have approved the Long Term Incentive Plan, which consists of a grant of stocks purchase options ("Plan"). In the scope of the Plan, directors and associates of the Company and its subsidiaries (“Beneficiaries”) are eligible to receive a purchase or subscription option of our shares by entering into a stock purchase/subscription agreement (“Option Agreement”), which shall specify: (a) the number of shares under the option; (b) the conditions to acquire the right to exercise option; (c) the final term to exercise the option, in view of the limit of 6 years from the date of grant; and (d) the criteria for definition of the exercise price and payment conditions.
The plan is managed by our Board of Directors, that may delegate the attributions to our Compensation Committee, observed the terms of the Plan and the limits set in law and on our by-laws. In these terms, the Board of Directors can:
(i) decide on all and any steps required for the administration of the Plan, interpretation, detailing and application of the general rules established therein;
(ii) to modify the terms and conditions of granted options with the purpose to adapt them to any requirements which may be necessary by any applicable legal or regulatory change to the Plan or the Option Agreement;
(iii) to analyze the exceptional cases arising from, or related to the Plan;
(IV) select the Beneficiaries, at its will, as provided in the Plan.
The Board of Directors shall not, except where expressly authorized under the Plan: (i) increase the total limit of shares which can be issued for the exercise of granted options; (ii) change the provisions on the eligibility of Beneficiaries; or (iii) without consent of the holder, to change or offend any rights or duties arising from Options Agreements signed with any Beneficiaries.
With the intention to satisfy the exercise of the options granted as provided in the Plan, the Company might, at the discretion of the Board of Directors: (a) issue new shares within the limits of authorized capital, or (ii) sell to the Beneficiary shares held in treasury.
The grant of options to the Beneficiaries shall be carried out in the course of 3 years counted from the date of approval of the Plan, and the Board of Directors shall define the time and periodicity of the grants.
The Options granted as provided in the Plan can be exercised by the Beneficiaries with observance of the minimum grace periods set forth:
(a) up to 33% of the shares which are the object of the option can be acquired or subscribed one year after the execution of the Option Agreement;
(b) up to 66% of the shares which are the object of the option can be acquired or subscribed two years after the execution of the Option Agreement; and
(c) all shares which are the object of the option can be acquired or subscribed three years after the execution of the Option Agreement;
No Beneficiary shall have any rights or privileges of shareholder of the Company up until the options are properly exercised and the shares which are the object of such options are subscribed or acquired and fully paid off.
The tributes and incumbencies related to the resulting financial benefit of the exercise of the options will be of exclusive responsibility of the respective Beneficiaries.
The grant of options as provided in the Plan shall not keep the Company from participating in corporate reorganization operations, such as transformation, incorporation, merger or split, and the Board of Directors shall decide on the effects of the corporate reorganization for the options granted to the date of the event.
In the event of changes to the number of shares issued by the Company, as a result of capital increase or reduction, grouping, split, premium, conversion of shares of a kind or class into another or conversion of other securities issued by the company as shares, the options and the exercise price shall be equally adjusted by the Board of Directors, so as to avoid any distortions and losses to the Company, Shareholders and Beneficiaries.
b. Main objectives of the plan
The Plan is mainly intended to: (i) align the interests of our management with the shareholders' interests (performance and creation of value and strengthen the long term commitment; (ii) create an integrated incentive system, so as to balance time (short vs long term) and the nature of objectives (industry vs stocks); (iii) improve the competitiveness of the compensation of our executives; and (iv) be an important instrument of retention.
c. contribution of the plan to these objectives
When making possible that Beneficiaries become our shareholders in special conditions, we expect to encourage them to effectively commit themselves to the creation of value and to carry out their duties aligned with the shareholders' interests, the social objectives and our growth plans, thereby maximizing our profit and generating a long term relationship with our Company. The grant of options and/or the subscription of shares encourage the Beneficiaries, as a result of the commitment of their own resources, to seek immediate gains for the shares, however without compromising growth and future gains. Furthermore, this model allows sharing our risks and our profits, by the valorization of the shares acquired under our stocks plan. Additionally, the adopted model is expected to be efficient as a mechanism of retention of managers and employees.
d. How is the plan inserted into the issuer compensation policy
The options granted under the Long Term Incentive Plan, as well as its exercise by the Beneficiaries, are not anyhow related to their compensation, whether fixed or variable or any profit sharing.
e. How the plan aligns the interests of the managers and that of the issuer in short, medium and long term
The grants carried out based on the Plan have different mechanisms which allow the alignment of managers' interests at different times. The possibility our Board of Directors has to determine the opportunity when the Option Agreements may be completed causes the Beneficiaries to commit with the constant increase in the value of our stocks in the short, medium and long run.
f. Maximum number of shares covered
The options granted under the Plan, both the ones exercised and not exercised, and disregarding the ones cancelled under the Plan, can give rights over a number of shares to the limit of 2% of the total shares issued by the Company during the Plan, as long as the total number of shares issued or likely to be issued under the Plan is kept within the capital stock limit authorized by the Company.
g. Maximum number of options to be granted
The number of options to be granted shall be determined by the Board of Directors, based on the proposal issued by the Compensation Committee. Any way, each Option Agreement shall ensure the beneficiary the right to purchase and/or subscribe at least one share issued by us so that the maximum number of granted shares is directly related to the limit provided in item "f" above.
h. Conditions for the acquisition of shares
The conditions for the acquisition of shares, as provided in the Plan, shall be provided in the Option Agreement to be entered into by each one of the Beneficiaries. The Board of Directors might treat differently Beneficiaries who are in a similar position, not being obliged under any equality rules or alike to extend to other Beneficiaries any condition or resolution found applicable to only one or more Beneficiaries.

Non applicable. We did not have stock based compensation or exercised options in the last three fiscal years.
13.9. Summary description of the information required for the understanding of the data disclosed in item 13.6 to 13.8, as explanation of the pricing method of the value of the shares and options, indicating, at least:
The criterion used for determination of the exercise price base is the weighted average by the financial volume negotiated in a period prior to the start date for measurement of performance, defined by the Board of Directors. For the First and Third Grants, the 30 days prior to the measurement date have been used, whereas for the Second Grant the 02 months before the same.
We shall use the Monte-Carlo model to calculate the fair value of options, taking into account a 6 years volatility history (corresponding to the term of options) and a risk free rate renowned and accepted by the market. The same process is applied to shares which are part of the comparative market index, so as to set a price for the readjustment of exercise base price, according to the plan.

08 – Deliberate about the proposal of the Long Term Incentive Plan (Stock Options Plan)
Shareholders,
Reference: Long Term Incentive Plan
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of August 5, 2011, the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan was approved, which allowed the Board of Directors to grant Stock Options for a period of three years.
During this period, the Company made three grants, involving Option Agreements of over 8.5 million shares. These Options represent an important component in the compensation of the Plan participants, equivalent to approximately 26 % of their Direct Compensation (Fixed Annual Remuneration, plus Short and Long Term Incentives).
The proposed Long Term Incentive Plan aims to enable new grants for a period of three years, replacing the Plan approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting of August 5, 2011, continuing and reinforcing its commitment to stimulate growth, success and achieving the corporate objectives of the Company and to align the interests of directors and employees of the Company with the interests of its shareholders.
