Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 4”) supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2010 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on June 13, 2011 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on August 15, 2011 (“Amendment No. 2”) and Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on February 6, 2014 (“Amendment No. 3”), each filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the common shares without par value of TIM Participações S.A. (“TIM Participações”) (the Original Schedule 13D, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and this Amendment No. 4, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 4 and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 4 amends items 1 and 4 as set forth below.

 

Item 1.

Security and Issuer

 

The class of equity securities to which this statement relates is the common shares, no par value (the “Shares”), of TIM S.A., a Brazilian corporation (“TIM”). TIM will disclose in due course the date on which the Shares are expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) in the form of American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) represented by American Depositary Receipts. The principal executive offices of TIM are located at João Cabral de Melo Neto Avenue, 850 – North Tower – 12th floor Zip Code 22775-057 Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

On July 29, 2020, TIM Participações entered into a Merger Agreement (protocolo de incorporação) (the “Merger Agreement”) with TIM, a wholly owned subsidiary of TIM Participações, as part of an internal reorganization. In connection with the transaction, which became effective on September 28, 2020, TIM Participações merged with and into TIM (the “Merger”) with the effect that TIM Participações ceased to exist as a separate legal entity and TIM succeeded to all of the assets and liabilities of TIM Participações. The business carried out by TIM is identical to the business carried out by TIM Participações and its sole subsidiary TIM prior to the Merger, and the executive officers, directors and management of TIM are identical to those of TIM Participações before the reorganization.

 

As part of the consummation of the Merger, all common shares of TIM Participações (CUSIP: 88706P106) held by its shareholders were cancelled and TIM issued new shares (CUSIP: 88706T 108) to TIM Participações shareholders who received one (1) TIM common share in exchange for each one (1) TIM Participações common share that they held prior to the Merger (the “exchange ratio”). As a result of this exchange ratio, the TIM shareholding structure following the reorganization is identical to that of TIM Participações prior to the consummation of the reorganization. As such, the shareholdings of the Reporting Persons as disclosed in this statement are the same as prior to the Merger.

 

Following the consummation of the Merger, TIM S.A. has succeeded TIM Participações as SEC registrant.
