Business Context and Reporting Period
Filed November 4, 2021, in response to a B3 request for clarification regarding atypical trading activity in TIM’s common shares. The provided filing does not contain financial statements or results for the December 31, 2021 period; the requested period appears inconsistent with the filing date.

Material Changes and Unusual Items
TIM’s Investor Relations Officer stated that the company was not aware of any pending material fact that would explain the atypical share-price and volume movement.
On November 2, 2021, Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense, or CADE, published an opinion and related order concerning TIM’s proposed acquisition of Oi S.A.’s mobile assets. CADE’s General Superintendence recommended approval subject to an Agreement on Concentration Control intended to address potential competition concerns.
The recommendation is non-binding. The transaction remains subject to a final decision by CADE’s Administrative Court, and TIM stated that it continues to await definitive approval.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- The principal disclosed contingency is regulatory approval of the Oi mobile asset acquisition.
- Potential competition-related conditions under the proposed Agreement on Concentration Control may affect the transaction’s final terms or implementation.
- TIM said the CADE publications were broadly released while markets were closed, allowing the company and market participants to become aware of the information simultaneously.
- No financial guidance, earnings outlook, liquidity forecast, or additional risk assessment is provided.
Investor Verification Items
- Verify the final decision of CADE’s Administrative Court and any conditions imposed on the Oi mobile asset acquisition.
- Confirm the transaction’s closing status, purchase price, financing, accounting treatment, and expected operating impact in subsequent filings.
- Review subsequent disclosures for any material fact that may explain the November 3 trading volatility.
- Use a separate annual or quarterly filing to obtain financial performance, debt, liquidity, and cash-flow information, which this 6-K does not provide.
