Tricom Announces New Financing Agreement

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, Jan. 13 — Tricom, S.A. (NYSE: TDR) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with a group of creditors representing the ad hoc committee of the holders of the Company’s 11-3/8% Senior Notes due 2004, led by The International Bank of Miami N.A., for a $15 million secured bridge financing. The financing will provide the Company with sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term funding requirements while it pursues a financial restructuring plan.

“Our creditors, particularly our principal bondholders, have been very supportive of the direction the Company is taking, and this financing demonstrates their fundamental commitment to Tricom and our business pursuits. This funding will provide the Company with the financial flexibility it needs to meet its short-term working capital requirements, and allows us to go forward in the near term to implement a financial restructuring plan, expected to strengthen the Company’s capital base and increase long-term stakeholder value,” said Carl Carlson, Chief Executive Officer.

The financing agreement is structured as a $10 million one-year term loan secured by various Company assets, including its Latin American and U.S.-based assets, with proceeds available upon execution of definitive agreements and certain closing conditions. The agreement also provides for an additional $5 million in financing available upon the consummation of the restructuring of the Company’s debt.

Subject to the final determination of the loan participation structure and the approval of the ad hoc committee of the holders of the 11-3/8% Senior Notes, the Company’s Dominican bank lenders will be permitted to participate in the financing arrangement. The International Bank of Miami N.A. will act as security agent for the transaction.

The Company further announced that the previously disclosed $10 million secured credit facility commitment from a group of existing creditors, led by Mizuho International, PLC, has expired.
