Globo Cabo to buy Net Sul in deal worth $735
mln-WSJ

NEW YORK, June 20 (Reuters) - Globo Cabo SA , Brazil's largest cable television
company, is expected to announce on Tuesday it will acquire a regional cable rival for about
$735 million in stock, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar
with the matter.

The acquisition of Net Sul SA will extend Globo Cabo's reach into southern Brazil and expand its ability to offer high-speed
Internet access to cable customers through its partnership with Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news), which owns a
nearly 10 percent stake in Globo Cabo.

A spokesman for Globo Cabo declined to comment on the transaction, which requires approval by Globo Cabo's board and
Brazilian regulators, the Wall Street Journal said.

Under the terms of the deal, Globo Cabo will issue 511 million new shares valued at $735 million at the close of Nasdaq Stock
Market trading on Monday, according to the article. The company also will assume $135 million of Net Sul debt, the Wall
Street Journal said.
