Exclusive: Brazil telecom Oi hires BofA Merrill Lynch to sell some assets - sources

Brazilian telecoms carrier Oi SA has hired Bank of America Merrill Lynch to sell noncore assets such as cellphone towers and data centers, two people with knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.

The company aims to raise between 1.5 billion reais and 2 billion reais ($545 million) from the divestitures, the sources added, asking for anonymity because they cannot discuss the plans publicly.

Oi and Bank of America did not immediately comment on the matter.

Before filing for Latin America`s largest ever bankruptcy proceeding, Oi had raised around 3 billion reais by selling more than 3,600 cellular towers to the Brazilian unit of SBA Communications Corp in transactions closed in 2013 and 2014.

Oi filed for bankruptcy 2-1/2 years ago to restructure 65 billion reais in debt.

The company plans to make investments aimed at improving its mobile and broadband operations and boosting its market share at the same time it pursues the asset sales.

The distressed asset managers that are Oi`s top shareholders plan to focus on improving the company`s mobile and broadband operations rather than a near-term sale of their stakes, Reuters reported last year.

Investment firms Solus Alternative Asset Management LP, GoldenTree Asset Management LP and York Capital Management Global Advisors LLC last year became Oi`s largest shareholders after converting their debt in the company into equity stakes as part of its restructuring.

Oi has forecast capital expenditures of 7 billion reais a year over the next three years.

($1 = 3.6878 reais)
