Explanatory Note

This Amendment to the Form 6-K of Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2009 is being furnished solely to correct a typographical error in Exhibit 2 to that Form 6-K. In the Part VI of the Minutes of the Extraordinary Meeting of the Board of Directors of Brasil Telecom S.A. held on August 7, 2009, the discussion of the proposed amendment to the bylaws of Brasil Telecom Holding incorrectly stated that following the amendment the subscribed share capital of Brasil Telecom Holding would be R$2,844,000,000.00. The correct amount is R$2,845,000,000.00. The corrected English translation of the Minutes of the Extraordinary Meeting of the Board of Directors of Brasil Telecom S.A. held on August 7, 2009 is furnished herewith.
