Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 1 (the First Amendment) amends the initial Schedule 13D (the Schedule 13D) filed on January 2, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), by the Reporting Persons (as defined in the Schedule 13D), with respect to the Class B shares, Ps. 1.00 par value per share (the Class B Shares) of Telecom Argentina S.A. (the Issuer or Telecom Argentina), a portion of which is represented by American Depositary Shares (ADSs) which are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at Alicia Moreau de Justo 50, 10th floor, 1107 Buenos Aires, Argentina. This First Amendment should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Schedule 13D. Except as disclosed in and expressly amended by this First Amendment, all information set forth in the Schedule 13D is hereby unaffected. All capitalized terms used in this First Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background

The fourth paragraph of part (c) of Item 2 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The name, citizenship, present principal occupation or employment and business address of each director of CVH and GC Dominio are set forth in Schedule A hereto. GC Dominio, CVH and VLG have not appointed executive officers.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The description contained herein supplements Item 4 in the Schedule 13D and should be read in connection therewith:

As a result of the Merger, all of the assets, liabilities and operations of Cablevisión were transferred to Telecom Argentina and CVH became the controlling shareholder of Telecom Argentina by the combination of two factors (i) the consummation of the Merger, which resulted in CVH directly and indirectly owning 39.08% of the Telecom Argentina capital stock (excluding treasury shares) and (ii) the TEO Shareholders Agreement becoming fully effective, which grants CVH the right to appoint the majority of the Board of Directors of Telecom Argentina.

As a result of effectively controlling Telecom Argentina and pursuant to Argentine securities laws, CVH must conduct a mandatory tender offer (oferta pública de adquisición, OPA) in Argentina. On June 21, 2018, CVH filed a pre-commencement communication under cover of Schedule TO-C, announcing a possible tender offer by CVH for all or a portion of the Class B Shares. Additionally, notwithstanding the fact that FTL, FAI and David Martínez, a natural person (DM), are not obligated to promote, formulate or launch a tender offer and have not taken part in the determination and formulation of any of the terms and conditions of CVHs possible tender offer, in accordance with section 6.7 of the TEO Shareholders Agreement, FT has undertaken to pay and acquire 50% of the shares tendered in the OPA (notwithstanding the right of CVH to acquire by itself the first 43,073,760 shares). Therefore, FT (and its direct and indirect shareholders FAI and DM) will jointly participate with CVH, each as co-offeror (and together with CVH, collectively the Offerors). Included as an exhibit to the filing was an English translation of the notice regarding the mandatory tender offer that was filed in Argentina on the same date. The OPA remains subject to the prior approval of the Argentine securities regulator (Comisión Nacional de Valores). The Offerors have not yet commenced the OPA or a tender offer in the United States.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item (a)-(b) is hereby amended to add the following paragraphs after the fourth paragraph:

As of the date of this Statement, Mr. Ignacio José María Sáenz Valiente has a 95% interest in SV&A Fiduciaria SA, a corporation organized under the laws of Argentina and domiciled at Florida 954, Buenos Aires (Argentina), which in turn holds 11,925 Class B Shares and 450 ADSs that represent 0.0022574% of the Class B Shares of the Issuer. As a 95% interest holder, Mr. Ignacio José María Sáenz Valiente has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the Class B Shares and ADS that SV&A Fiduciaria S.A. holds of record.

As of the date of this Statement, Mr. Damián Fabio Cassino holds 1,300 ADSs which represent 0.0010351% of the Class B Shares of the Issuer. Mr. Damián Fabio Cassino has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the ADSs he holds of record.

Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated by adding the following information:

(c) On May 17, 2018, Mr. Ignacio José María Sáenz Valiente, through SV&A Fiduciaria S.A., bought 11,925 Class B Shares and 450 ADSs of the Issuer at a price of 109 Argentine Pesos per Class B Share and US$22.18 per ADS on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, respectively, through a broker dealer.

On May 16, 2016, Mr. Damián Fabio Cassino bought 1,300 ADSs of the Issuer at a price of US$22.80 per ADS on the New York Stock Exchange through a broker dealer.

Except as set forth in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons, or to the Reporting Persons best knowledge, without independent verification, any other person named in Schedule A, has effected any transaction in shares of the Issuers Class B Shares during the past 60 days.
