Tricom Announces Director Resignations

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, Jan. 13  — Tricom, S.A. (NYSE: TDR) today announced that its Board of Directors has received the resignations of Richard Haning, Theodore Schaffner, Ralph Smith and Kevin Wiley, effective as of December 31, 2003. These directors had been initially nominated to the Board by Motorola, Inc. The resignations were driven by the increased time required by each of the four individuals to meet other business and personal commitments and interests.

“On behalf of the entire board, I want to extend our appreciation to Richard, Ted, Ralph and Kevin for their contributions and dedication in the service of Tricom,” said Carl Carlson, Chief Executive Officer and acting Chairman.

Tricom’s Board of Directors currently consists of seven members, including two independent directors. The Company does not anticipate any disruptions of its Board’s activities and deliberations as a result of these resignations. A search has begun to find appropriate candidates to replace the directors who have resigned.
