Result of Meeting

Telefonica SA 17 November 2000 'TELEFONICA, S.A.', in accordance with that stated in article 82 of the Spanish Stock Market Law and that set forth in the Circular Letter 14/1998 of the Spanish Securities Commission of December 28th, 1998, hereby announces the following: A SIGNIFICANT EVENT Telefonica would like to inform the market that it yesterday held its habitual multi-conference on the results for the third quarter (now registered with the CNMV), during which, besides commenting on these results with analysts and investors, the following points were underlined: Segregation of Business Lines The Telefonica Group will continue to develop its activity through segregated business lines as this is considered to be the most efficient way of achieving the commercial and financial targets set for each of its activities. This form of management has been facilitated by the recent success of the Veronica Operation. Likewise, this will also assist in increasing the degree of transparency in the supervising of management. Floatings Once the floating of Telefonica's mobile subsidiary has concluded, the Company does not foresee any specific dates for the floating of any other subsidiary. The market will be informed of these dates as soon as they have been set, although this is not expected to occur before the second half of next year. The Telefonica Group will constantly consider the possibility of listing shares on additional stock markets, although this, at all times, will be subject to the market's correct valuation of the different business lines. Telefonica Media The Telefonica Group also presented Telefonica Media's strategic plan. This plan stresses the structuring of Telefonica Media in three business units: open TV and radio, Content, and pay TV. As a consequence of this new structure, the Telefonica Group's media holding will introduce a greater degree of coherence in the management of these assets, with a mind to consolidating its position as a leading group in the audiovisual sector, placing particular emphasis on the importance of the future convergence between telecommunications, content and internet. Financing Telefonica also announced that once the financing operations have been satisfactorily concluded, through both the launching of a global bond issue and a syndicate loan, the financing needs for the year 2001 will have been covered. The Company went on to state that it intends to apply the funds derived from the floating of its mobile subsidiary, shortly to take place, to the reduction of indebtedness.
