NYSE Suspends Trading of Tricom ADSs

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, May 11— Tricom, S.A. announced today that the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (NYSE) has determined to suspend trading and pursue delisting of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (ADSs), ticker symbol TDR. The NYSE reached its decision following the Company’s financial restructuring update announcement on May 6, 2004.

The Company believes that its ADSs may be quoted on the OTC (over-the- counter) Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) within the next several days. The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices and volume information in OTC equity securities. More information about OTCBB can be found at www.otcbb.com. The Company intends to issue a press release when such trading commences.
