Steve,

The following is an excerpt from Reuters I posted last night as to which Baby Bras are affected:

"Telecom giant Telefonica last year bought a controlling stake in
Brazil's Tele Sudeste Celular holding,
which owns Telerj and Telest Celular. It joined Spanish utility firm
Iberdrola in a group which won Tele
Leste Celular holding, which owns Telebahia and Telergipe."

It is unclear as to what, if any, affect this tender offer may have. Putting a true controlling block of these companies stock directly into telefonica's hands may in fact have a negative effect on the holders of the holding company stock-i.e. ability to do management contracts at the subsidiary level to siphon off revenues. On the other hand, it may enhance the perception of the value of the adr. I will post any commentary on the subject I come across.
