Terms defined in the Schedule 13D are used herein as so defined. The Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows: Item 1. Security and Issuer. -------------------- Item 1 is hereby amended to reflect that the Issuer's name was changed to Centennial Communications Corp. and the address of the Issuer's principal executive offices was changed to 3349 Route 138, Wall Township, NJ 07719. Item 2. Identity and Background. ------------------------ Item 2 is hereby amended to add Jonathan M. Rather as a managing member of VIII Associates and CP III Associates and a general partner of VII Partners, and D. Scott Mackesy, James R. Matthews, John D. Clark and Sanjay Swani as managing members of VIII Associates, and to remove WCA as a Reporting Person and Andrew M. Paul, Laura VanBuren, Lawrence B. Sorrel and Priscilla A. Newman as managing members of VIII Associates and CP III Associates and general partners of VII Partners. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. ----------------------- Item 4 is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows: The Reporting Persons have been advised by the Issuer that the Issuer is exploring whether to secure additional financing. The Reporting Persons are currently engaged in discussions with the Issuer regarding the Issuer's exploration of such additional financing, which may include, among other alternatives, the issuance of equity securities (including warrants) and/or debt or convertible debt securities to its existing stockholders (including the Reporting Persons) or to other persons, and which may involve a change in the Issuer's existing governance arrangements. Such debt or convertible debt securities would be senior to the Issuer's Common Stock and the conversion of any such convertible securities and the issuance of any warrants could result in dilution to the Issuer's stockholders. There can be no assurance that the present discussions will result in the completion of any such financing transactions. The Reporting Persons intend to regularly review their investment in the Issuer. Based on such review, as well as other factors (including, among other things, their evaluation of the Issuer's business, prospects and financial condition, the market price for the Issuer's securities, other opportunities available to them and general market, industry and economic conditions), the Reporting Persons and/or their affiliates may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or sell some or all of their securities of the Issuer, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In CUSIP NO. 15133V 20 8 Page 7 of 9 Pages addition, based on such review and/or discussions with the Issuer, the Reporting Persons may formulate plans or proposals, and may from time to time explore, or make formal proposals relating to, transactions or actions which related to or would result in any of the matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to at any time change their present intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4. See Item 6 of the original Schedule 13D regarding plans relating to changes to the Issuer's Board of Director and management. Item 5.
