Peterson and Mr. Stephen A. Schwarzman (the foregoing, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). This Amendment is being filed to update the Schedule 13D in light of certain recent events. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION
     Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following information immediately prior to the last paragraph thereof:
     On March 2, 2007, the Blackstone Partnerships completed an offering (the “Offering”) of an aggregate amount of 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $7.95 per share of Centennial Communications Corp. (“Centennial”) to Lehman Brothers Inc. through a registered public offering. Following the Offering, the Blackstone Partnerships beneficially own 15,172,043 shares of common stock of Centennial.
     BCP CCC sold 7,955,839 shares of common stock and beneficially owns 11.4% of the outstanding common stock. BCP CCC Offshore sold 1,444,160 shares of common stock and beneficially owns 2.1% of the outstanding common stock and BFIP III sold 600,001 shares of common stock and beneficially owns 0.9% of the common stock. The percentage of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Blackstone Partnerships after the offering is 14.3%.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
     Items 5(a) and (b) are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
     (a) and (b), the Blackstone Partnerships beneficially own 15,172,043 shares of common stock of Centennial or 14.3% of the shares of Centennial’s outstanding common stock. The Blackstone Partnerships beneficially own these shares as follows:
                 
            Percentage of Class of

BCP CCC
    12,070,631       11.4 %

Page 9 of 11 Pages
     After the Offering, the Blackstone Partnerships, acting through their sole general partner BMA III have the sole power to vote or direct the vote of, and to dispose or to direct the disposition of, the common stock respectively owned by them. As a result, BMA III may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of common stock directly owned by the respective Blackstone Partnerships of which it is the general partner. The Founding Members of BMA III have shared power to vote or to direct the vote of, and to dispose or to direct the disposition of, the shares of common stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by BMA III. As a result, each of such Founding Members may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of common stock that BMA III may be deemed to beneficially own. The Founding Members disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares.
     Item 5(c) is hereby amended as follows:
     (c) The information contained in Item 4 above is incorporated herein by reference as if restated in full.
