DJ Lucent In Talks To Buy 2 Brazil Telecom Companies -Folha

SAO PAULO (Dow Jones)--Lucent Technologies Inc. (LU) is negotiating the acquisition of two
small telecommunications equipment companies in Brazil, the newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo
reported Sunday.

The negotiation with the companies, Batik and Zetax, is advanced, the report said.

A spokeswoman for Lucent said the rumor has been in circulation for weeks, but declined to confirm
or deny it.

According to Folha, Lucent is interested in acquiring Zetax and Batik because of an increasingly
protectionist Brazilian government which may demand that telecommunications companies use a
greater percentage of equipment produced in Brazil.

Lucent already produces equipment in Brazil, according to the Lucent spokeswoman.
