Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

        GFN, through Oleander, is the founding shareholder of the Company. The 11,486,726 shares of the Company's Class B stock owned by Oleander were issued at the Company's initial public offering as part of a recapitalization of the Company, and reflect the ownership in the Company by GFN, through Oleander, immediately prior to such offering. The approximate aggregate amount invested by GFN and Oleander since the date of the Company's organization attributable to the shares of the Company's Class B stock that it owns is US$26,014,414. All funds used to purchase shares of Class B stock on behalf of GFN and Oleander have come directly from the assets of GFN and Oleander, respectively. Oleander also owns 675,024 shares of Class A Common Stock purchased for US$7,000,000 in a privately negotiated transaction. All of this amount has come directly from the assets of GFN and Oleander. In May 2001, GFN also advanced US$40 million to the Company that was used to subscribe for 10 million shares of Class A Common Stock through a private placement on the same terms and conditions offered to all shareholders pursuant to a Rights Offering, as hereinafter defined, made by the Company to all holders of its ADSs, shares of its Class A Common Stock and shares of its Class B stock. The amount advanced by GFN came in its entirety directly from the assets of GFN.

        PPJ paid an aggregate of US$ 7,423,896 for 963,413 ADSs purchased by it. All funds used to purchase these ADSs on behalf of PPJ have come directly from the assets of PPJ, which represent contributions by the employees of GFN and its subsidiaries and additional contributions by GFN and its subsidiaries to PPJ for the benefit of employees to, and as part of, the pension fund plan.

        Mr. Pellerano paid an aggregate of US$6,501,447 for 515,029 ADSs purchased by him. All funds used to purchase these ADSs on behalf of Mr. Pellerano have come directly from the assets of Mr. Pellerano.


Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction.

        The following describes current plans for the acquisition by any reporting person of additional ADSs or shares of Class A Common Stock.



Page 9 of 17

        In May 2001, GFN advanced US$40 million to the Company on an interest free basis which was used to subscribe for 10 million shares of Class A Common Stock through a private placement on the same terms and conditions offered to all shareholders pursuant to a rights offering made by the Company on December 11, 2001 (the "Rights Offering"). The aggregate number of ADSs and shares of Class A Common Stock offered to shareholders in the Rights Offering was 16,492,522 at $4.00 per share. Each holder of ADSs or Class A Common Stock had the right to subscribe for a proportionate share of the Rights Offering. Holders who purchased in full their proportionate share also had the right to purchase additional shares pursuant to an oversubscription privilege. Neither PPJ nor Mr. Pellerano subscribed for ADSs in the Rights Offering. Each of the reporting persons may, depending on market conditions or other factors, purchase additional ADSs or shares of Class A Common Stock. These purchases may be in open market transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

        Except as we state in this Item 4, neither GFN, Oleander, PPJ nor Mr. Pellerano has any present plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the actions described in (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the General Instructions to Schedule 13D.


Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

        Based upon the Company's most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there were 24,245,920 issued and outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock and 19,144,544 shares of the Company's Class B stock issued and outstanding. Each share of Class B stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.

        As of April 8, 2002, Oleander was the holder of 12,161,750 shares of the Company's securities, comprised of 11,486,726 shares of Class B stock and 675,024 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 34.0% beneficial ownership of the Company's shares of Class A Common Stock. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), Oleander's shares of Class B stock are deemed to be outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock for purposes of computing the percentage of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Oleander. Oleander is a wholly owned subsidiary of GFN.

        As of April 8, 2002, PPJ was the holder of 963,413 ADSs representing the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 4.0% beneficial ownership of the Company's shares of Class A Common Stock. Investment and voting decisions as to those Company securities held by PPJ are controlled by a Committee comprised solely of officers of GFN.

        As a result of Mr. Pellerano's control of GFN and Oleander, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of GFN, GFN and Mr. Pellerano may be deemed to share the right to vote and dispose of the shares owned by Oleander. Further, because GFN may be deemed to control investment and voting decisions affecting Company securities held by PPJ, GFN and Mr. Pellerano may be deemed to share the right to vote and dispose of the shares owned by PPJ. Mr. Pellerano has the sole right to vote and dispose of shares he holds in his own name.

        As of April 8, 2002, GFN was the beneficial holder of a total of 23,125,163 shares, or approximately 64.7%, of the Company's shares of Class A Common Stock, comprised of 10 million shares of Class A Common Stock which it purchased through a private placement on the same terms and conditions offered to all shareholders pursuant to the Rights Offering, 11,486,726 shares of Class B stock and 675,024 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by Oleander and 963,413 ADSs representing the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock owned by PPJ.

        As of April 5, 2002, Mr. Pellerano was the beneficial holder of a total of 23,640,192 shares, or approximately 66.2%, of the Company's securities, comprised of 515,029 ADSs representing the same



Page 10 of 17

number of shares of Class A Common Stock held in his own name and the 23,125,163 shares of the Company's shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially held by GFN (see above).

        Information with respect to the purchases during the sixty days prior to April 8, 2002 by GFN, Oleander, PPJ and Mr. Pellerano of ADSs and Class A Common Stock is listed in the following table. There were not any purchases of shares of Class B Stock or by any filing person other than PPJ. The listed purchases by PPJ were executed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Item 6.    Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

        Except for the following agreements and the relationships described in Item 5, no contracts, arrangements, understandings or similar relationships exist with respect to the securities of the Company between the persons named in Item 2 and any other person:

    Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement, dated as of May 8, 1998, among TRICOM, S.A., Motorola, Inc., Oleander Holdings, Inc., Zona Franca San Isidro, S.A. and certain nominal shareholders that are affiliates of GFN or TRICOM.

      This agreement provides that the Company's Board of Directors will consist of, and GFN and Motorola each will vote all of the shares owned by it, or its permitted transferees, in favor of six directors to be designated by GFN, four directors to be designated by Motorola and two independent directors. Under this agreement, until such time as either GFN or Motorola owns less than 25% of the Company's Class B shares, the affirmative vote of nine directors is needed in the following situations: the acquisition or formation of, or investment in, another entity by the Company, the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company in a ratio to equity of greater than three to one, approval of annual budgets relating to income, capital expenditures, operating expenses and cash flows and the issuance, or redemption, of Class A Common Stock or instruments exercisable or convertible into Class A Common Stock. Under this agreement, GFN and Motorola have piggy-back and demand registration rights under certain circumstances.



Page 11 of 17

    Voting Agreement, dated August 21, 1997, between Oleander Holdings, Inc. and The Bank of New York.

      In connection with the Company's offering of 113/8% senior notes due 2004, Oleander entered into a voting agreement, dated August 21, 1997 with The Bank of New York, as trustee under the indenture for the senior notes. The voting agreement provides that Oleander will temporarily grant to the trustee for the 113/8% senior notes due 2004 the right to vote all of its shares of common stock upon the occurrence of certain default events relating to the Company's failure to pay its indebtedness, or interest, principal or judgments thereupon. The voting agreement does not prohibit or restrict Oleander from transferring, selling, pledging, or hypothecating any shares of voting stock. Any shares of voting stock transferred to an affiliate of Oleander will remain subject to the voting agreement and any shares of voting stock transferred to a person unaffiliated with Oleander will no longer be subject to the voting agreements.

    Stockholders' Agreement dated as of October 26, 2001, among TRICOM, S.A., Oleander Holdings, Inc. and Walbeck Overseas Limited.

      In connection with the acquisition by the Company of all of the shares of TCN Dominicana S.A., the Company issued shares of its Class A Common Stock to Walbeck Overseas Limited. The Company and Oleander agreed that as long as Walbeck or its permitted transferees (the "Telecable Stockholders") own at least seven percent of Tricom's outstanding Common Stock (defined as including the Class A Common Stock and the Class B stock), the Telecable Stockholders would have the right to nominate one director to the Board of Directors and Oleander would vote in favor of such nominee. Oleander also agreed that if it were to sell in a single transaction or series of related transactions, the greater of (i) 20% of the shares of Common Stock (defined as including the Class A Common Stock and the Class B stock) then owned by it or (ii) shares with an aggregate purchase price greater than $35 million (or shares which result in the purchaser owning shares of common stock with more than 50% of all votes, (a "Change of Control Transaction"), notwithstanding that the transaction is not of the type specified in (i) or (ii) (the transactions described in (i) and (ii) and a Change of Control Transaction, together being a "Qualifying Transaction")), then the Telecable Stockholders shall have the right to require the Purchaser to purchase from the Telecable Stockholders at the same price and on the same terms, the same percentage of their Common Stock as purchased from Oleander, unless the sale is a Change of Control Transaction in which case the Telecable Stockholders have the right to require the purchase of all of their shares. If Oleander receives a bona fide offer from a third party to purchase its shares in a Qualifying Transaction, Oleander also has the right to require the Telecable Stockholders to sell to such third party the same percentage of their shares as Oleander sells to the third party.

        The foregoing summarizes provisions of each such agreement and the summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete agreements that are listed in Item 7 as exhibits to this Schedule.
