Telecom Argentina S.A., ("Telecom", the "Company" or the "Issuer") a corporation (sociedad anónima) organized under the laws
of Argentina hereby offers to Eligible Holders to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Listing Memorandum (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Listing Memorandum"), the
eligibility letter (the "Eligibility Letter"), in the case of Argentine Entity Offerees and Non-Cooperating Jurisdiction Offerees, the
letter of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), the Proxy Form and a power of attorney in the form contained in the Proxy Form
(a "Power of Attorney and, together with the Proxy Form, the "Proxy Documents," which, together with the Listing Memorandum
and the Eligibility Letter constitute the "Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Documents") any and all of the Company's
outstanding 6.500% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "Old Notes") for the consideration set forth in the table above.
Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, Telecom intends to offer for cash up to U.S.$250,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of New Notes (the "New Money Notes") within the United States to QIBs (as defined below) in reliance on the
exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to persons other than U.S. Persons (as
defined below) in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act in the Concurrent New Money
Offering (as defined below). The New Money Notes so offered will have identical terms and conditions as the New Notes
offered in this Exchange Offer, will have the same ISIN, CUSIP and Common Code numbers, will be fungible for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and will constitute a single series and vote as a single class of debt securities with the New
Notes under the New Notes Indenture (as defined below).
You should consider the risk factors beginning on page 28 of this Listing Memorandum before you decide whether to
participate in the Exchange Offer and invest in the New Notes.

The New Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise
made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or in the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a
retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive
2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the "Insurance
Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of
MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently
no key information document required by Regulation (EU) 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling
the New Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the United Kingdom has been prepared and
therefore otherwise offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in
the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
We have not registered the New Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities
law. The New Notes are being offered for exchange only (1) to holders of Old Notes that are "qualified institutional buyers" as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("QIBs"), in a private transaction in reliance upon the exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and (2) outside the United States, to holders of Old Notes
other than "U.S. persons" (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act, "U.S. Persons") and who are not acquiring New Notes
for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person, in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act, and who
are Non-U.S. qualified offerees (as defined under "Transfer Restrictions") other than Argentine Entity Offerees (as defined below),
Non-Cooperating Jurisdiction Offerees (as defined below) and Eligible Canadian Holders (as defined in the Eligibility Letter),
(3) outside the United States, to Argentine Entity Offerees, (4) outside the United States, to Non-Cooperating Jurisdiction Offerees,
and (5) outside the United States, to Eligible Canadian Holders (as defined in the Eligibility Letter). Only holders of Old Notes
who have returned a duly completed Eligibility Letter (as defined below) certifying that they are within one of the categories
described in the immediately preceding sentence are authorized to receive and review this Listing Memorandum and to
participate in the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation (such holders, "Eligible Holders").
For a description of the New Notes, please refer to "Description of the New Notes."
This Listing Memorandum is being provided for informational use solely in connection with the consideration of the Exchange
Offer and an investment in the New Notes only (i) to holders of Old Notes that are QIBs, in a private transaction in reliance upon
the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and (ii) outside the
United States, to holders of Old Notes other than U.S. persons and who are not acquiring New Notes for the account or benefit of
a U.S. Person, in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act, and who are Non-U.S. qualified offerees
(as defined under "Transfer Restrictions"). For a description of certain restrictions on resale and transfer of the New Notes, see
"Transfer Restrictions" in this Listing Memorandum.
The ability of certain Eligible Holders outside the United States to participate in the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation
will be subject to the delivery of additional documentation to satisfy Argentine tax regulations. In particular, Argentine Entity
Offerees and Non-Cooperating Jurisdiction Offerees who participate in the Exchange Offer are required to complete, sign and
submit to the Information and Exchange Agent a Letter of Transmittal in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto. See "Taxation
Certain Argentine Tax Considerations."
The Luxembourg Stock Exchange has only scrutinized and approved the sections of the Listing Memorandum that relate to the
listing of the New Notes and not the sections that relate to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. The sections relating to
the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation are provided for informational purposes only. This Listing Particular constitutes a

The Exchange Offer
Eligible Holders who validly tender their Old Notes and deliver their related Proxies on or prior to the Early Participation
Date will be eligible to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes so tendered, a principal amount of new notes (the
"New Notes") set forth in the table on the cover under the heading "Principal Amount of New Notes" (the "New Notes
Consideration") plus an amount of cash set forth in the table on the cover under the heading "Early Cash Consideration" (the "Early
Cash Consideration" and, together with the New Notes Consideration, the "Early Participation Payment"). Eligible Holders who
validly tender Old Notes and deliver their related Proxies after the Early Participation Date but on or prior to the Expiration Date
will be eligible to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes so tendered, the New Notes Consideration and only an
amount of cash set forth in the table above under the heading "Late Cash Consideration" (the "Late Cash Consideration" and,
together with the New Notes Consideration, the "Late Participation Payment"). We refer to the Early Participation Payment and
the Late Participation Payment as the "Exchange Consideration". Eligible Holders whose Old Notes are accepted for exchange in
the Exchange Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such exchanged Old Notes from the last interest
payment date to, but not including, the Settlement Date (as defined below) (such payment, the "Accrued Interest Payment").
The consummation of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation for Old Notes is conditioned upon, among other
conditions, the satisfaction of the Minimum Issuance Condition (as defined below). See "Description of the Exchange Offer--
Conditions to the Exchange Offer."
The New Notes will be our general, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, ranking equally without any preference
among themselves and with all of our other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time
outstanding, except as otherwise provided by law. The New Notes will be subordinated to all of our existing and future secured
obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations, and to all of the existing and future obligations of
our subsidiaries.
The New Notes will constitute non-convertible negotiable obligations under, and will be issued pursuant to, and in
compliance with all the requirements of, and will be entitled to the benefits set forth and subject to the procedural requirements
established in, the Argentine Negotiable Obligations Law No. 23,576, as amended (the "Negotiable Obligations Law"), Law No.
26,831, as amended (the "Argentine Securities Law"), the General Resolution No. 622/2013, as amended, issued by the Comisión
Nacional de Valores, the Argentine Securities Commission (the "CNV") (the "Resolution 622"), and any other applicable laws
and regulations of the Republic of Argentina ("Argentina").
We have applied to have the New Notes listed on the Bolsa y Mercados Argentinos S.A. ("ByMA") and to have the
New Notes admitted to trading on the Argentine over the counter market, the Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A. (the "MAE").
There can be no assurances that these applications will be accepted.
The New Notes will constitute our Series 5 notes issued under our U.S.$3,000,000,000 Global Note Program authorized
by the CNV by Resolution No. 19,481 dated April 19, 2018 (the "Program"). The CNV authorization means only that the
information contained in the Argentine Offering Memorandum (as defined below) relating to the public offering of the New Notes
comply with the information requirements of the CNV. The CNV has not rendered and will not render any opinion with respect to
the accuracy of the information contained in the Argentine Offering Memorandum. The CNV has not rendered and will not render
any opinion with respect to information contained in this Listing Memorandum. The accuracy of all the information contained
herein is our responsibility. To the best of our knowledge, the information contained herein is true and correct in all material
respects and is not misleading and it does not omit facts the omission of which makes this Listing Memorandum as a whole
misleading.
The Consent Solicitation
In conjunction with the Exchange Offer, we are also soliciting proxies (the "Proxy" or the "Proxies") from the Eligible
Holders of Old Notes to vote, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer and Consent
Solicitation Documents and the accompanying proxy form (the "Proxy Form"), in favor of the resolution for the approval of the
proposed amendments (the "Proposed Amendments") to the Old Notes Indenture (as defined below) and the Old Notes (the
"Consent Solicitation" and together with the Exchange Offer, the "Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation"). We intend to
convene an extraordinary meeting (the "Noteholders Meeting") of the Holders (as defined in the Old Notes Indenture) of our
outstanding Old Notes, expected to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on or about August 5, 2020 on First Call (as defined
below) and on a later date, or a later time on the same date, to be determined by us on Second Call (as defined below) in case of
lack of a requisite quorum on First Call, to consider and vote on the Proposed Amendments.
We are conducting the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation contemporaneously. If you tender your Old
Notes in the Exchange Offer, you must also deliver your Proxies pursuant to the Consent Solicitation and holders who wish
to deliver their Proxies pursuant to the Consent Solicitation must tender their Old Notes in the Exchange Offer. To
participate in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, Eligible Holders who tender Old Notes must also deliver a
iii

Power of Attorney in respect of such Old Notes to be voted in favor of the Proposed Amendments. Holders who do not
validly deliver Proxy Documents in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation will nevertheless be bound by the Proposed
Amendments if they become effective.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This Listing Memorandum contains important information that Eligible Holders are urged to read before any
decision is made with respect to the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation. Any questions regarding procedures
for tendering Old Notes or requests for additional copies of this Listing Memorandum, the Eligibility Letter and the
Proxy Documents should be directed to the Information and Exchange Agent (as defined below). Copies of this
Listing Memorandum, the Eligibility Letter, the Letter of Transmittal and the Proxy Documents are available for
Eligible Holders at the following web address: https://gbsc-usa.com/eligibility/telecom.
Telecom hereby invites all Eligible Holders of outstanding Old Notes to exchange, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation Documents, their Old Notes for New
Notes and cash, all as described below under "Description of the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation --
Exchange Consideration."
In conjunction with the Exchange Offer, we are also soliciting Proxies from the Eligible Holders of Old Notes
to vote, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation
Documents and the accompanying Proxy Form, in favor of the resolution for the approval of the Proposed
Amendments to the Old Notes Indenture and the Old Notes. We intend to convene a Noteholders Meeting of the
holders of our outstanding Old Notes, expected to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on or about August 5, 2020 on
First Call (as defined below) and on a later date, or a later time on the same date, to be determined by us on Second
Call (as defined below) in case of lack of a requisite quorum on First Call, to consider and vote on the Proposed
Amendments.
Subject to applicable law, the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation may be amended, extended or,
upon failure of a condition to be satisfied or waived prior to the Expiration Date, terminated individually.
Old Notes may be tendered and will be accepted for exchange only in principal amounts equal to minimum
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. No alternative, conditional or contingent
tenders will be accepted.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation being satisfied or waived,
and to our right to extend, amend, terminate or withdraw the Exchange Offer, we will, after the Expiration Date (the
"Acceptance Date"), accept for exchange all Old Notes validly tendered at or before the Expiration Date and not
validly withdrawn at or before the Withdrawal Date. We will pay the Exchange Consideration for Old Notes accepted
for exchange at the Acceptance Date on the Settlement Date. Also, on the Settlement Date, we will pay accrued and
unpaid interest, and additional amounts, if any, to, but not including, the Settlement Date, on Notes accepted for
exchange at the Acceptance Date.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to a valid tender of Old Notes in this Listing
Memorandum shall mean that such Old Notes have been validly tendered, at or prior to the Expiration Date
and such tender has not been validly withdrawn.
Eligible Holders who represent to be Argentine Entity Offerees or Non-Cooperating Jurisdiction Offerees
when submitting the Agent's Message and the applicable Letter of Transmittal may be subject to certain tax
withholdings in respect of interest collected on, and gains or losses resulting from the tendering of the Old Notes. See
"Taxation Certain Argentine Tax Considerations". Such Argentine Entity Offerees and Non-Cooperating
Jurisdiction Offerees are not eligible to receive additional amounts in respect of any such tax withholdings. Any
Accrued Interest Payment (as defined below) due to Argentine Entity Offerees or Non-Cooperating Jurisdiction
Offerees who tender Old Notes in the Exchange Offer will be subject to the applicable tax withholding at an effective
withholding tax rate of 6% (subject to the withholding regime established by the General Resolution (AFIP) No.
830/2000), and 35%, respectively. Any Exchange Consideration or Cash Rounding Payments due to Non-Cooperating
Jurisdiction Offerees who tender Old Notes in this Exchange Offer will be subject to the applicable tax withholding
at an effective withholding tax rate of 31.5%. Neither the Company nor any of its agents or affiliates will be required
to pay any additional amounts or other gross-up amounts in respect of such tax withholdings to the Argentine Entity
Offerees or Non-Cooperating Jurisdiction Offerees.
In the case of tax withholding applicable to any Exchange Consideration or Cash Rounding Amount in
accordance with this Listing Memorandum and the preceding paragraph, the Company will deduct the relevant amount
from the cash payments payable to those Non-Cooperating Jurisdiction Offerees who validly tender their Old Notes
v

and are accepted by the Company in the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation. If the total amount of the cash
payments is withheld by the Company for the purposes of the applicable tax withholding, any outstanding amounts
thereunder will be deducted by the Company from the Exchange Consideration, in a principal amount of New Notes
equal to the remaining amount of the applicable tax withholding. In the event that any such tax withholdings are made
by the Company on behalf of any Argentine Entity Offeree or any Non-Cooperating Jurisdiction Entity, the Company
will make available, at the request of such Argentine Entity Offeree or any Non-Cooperating Jurisdiction Entity,
evidence of payment to the Argentine tax authority ("AFIP") of such withholdings.
Compliance with "Short Tendering" Rule
It is a violation of Rule 14e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the
"Exchange Act") for a person, directly or indirectly, to tender Old Notes for its own account unless the person so
tendering (a) has a net long position equal to or greater than the aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes being
tendered and (b) will cause such Old Notes to be delivered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer.
Rule 14e-4 provides a similar restriction applicable to the tender or guarantee of a tender on behalf of another person.
A tender of Old Notes in the Exchange Offer under any of the procedures described above will constitute a
binding agreement between the tendering Eligible Holder and us with respect to such Exchange Offer upon the terms
and subject to the conditions of such Exchange Offer, including the tendering Eligible Holder's acceptance of the
terms and conditions of such Exchange Offer, as well as the tendering Eligible Holder's representation and warranty
that (a) such Eligible Holder has a net long position in the Old Notes being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer
within the meaning of Rule 14e-4 under the Exchange Act and (b) the tender of such Old Notes complies with
Rule 14e-4.
