2002 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
___________________________________

PROXY STATEMENT
___________________________________

     This proxy statement contains information related to our annual meeting of stockholders to be held on Friday, November 15, 2002, beginning at 10:00 a.m. local time, at the Sales Office at the Technology Center of the Americas, located at 50 NE 9th Street, Miami, Florida 33132, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. The approximate date that this proxy statement, the accompanying notice of annual meeting and the enclosed form of proxy are first being sent to stockholders is October 15, 2002. You should review this information in conjunction with our 2002 Annual Report to stockholders which accompanies this proxy statement.

ABOUT THE MEETING

What is the purpose of the annual meeting?

     At the annual meeting, stockholders will vote on the election of directors and the amendment of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock. In addition, we will report on our performance and respond to questions from our stockholders.

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

     Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date, October 4, 2002, are entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting and to vote shares of our common stock that they held on that date at the meeting, or any postponements or adjournments of the meeting. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles its holder to cast one vote on each matter to be voted upon.

Who can attend the meeting?

     All stockholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend. If your shares are held in the name of your broker or bank, you will need to bring evidence of your stock ownership, such as your most recent brokerage statement, and valid picture identification.

What constitutes a quorum?

     The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of all of the shares of common stock outstanding on the record date will constitute a quorum, permitting the meeting to conduct its business. As of the record date, October 4, 2002, 222,631,074 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Proxies received but marked as abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting but will not be counted as votes cast “for” or “against” any given matter.

     If less than a majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote are represented at the meeting, a majority of the shares present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another date, time or place, and notice need not be given of the new date, time or place if the new date, time or place is announced at the meeting before an adjournment is taken.

 


Table of Contents

How do I vote?

     If you complete and properly sign the accompanying proxy card and return it to us, it will be voted as you direct. If you are a registered stockholder and you attend the meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person. “Street name” stockholders who wish to vote at the meeting will need to obtain a proxy from the institution that holds their shares.

Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

     Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by filing with our Secretary either a notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. The powers of the proxy holders will be suspended if you attend the meeting in person and so request, although attendance at the meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.

What are the board’s recommendations?

     Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors. The recommendation of the Board of Directors is set forth with the description of each proposal in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board of Directors recommends a vote:

    for the election of the nominated slate of directors; and
 
    for the amendment of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 300,000,000 to 400,000,000.

     The Board of Directors does not know of any other matters that may be brought before the meeting nor does it foresee or have reason to believe that the proxy holders will have to vote for substitute or alternate Board of Directors nominees. In the event that any other matter should properly come before the meeting or any Board of Directors nominee is not available for election, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is given, in accordance with their best judgment.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

     Election of Directors. The affirmative vote, either in person or by proxy, of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting is required for the election of directors. This means that candidates who receive the highest number of votes are elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not votes cast and are not counted in determining whether a nominee is elected. A properly executed proxy marked “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for directors.

     Other Proposals. For each other proposal, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting (either in person or by proxy) will be required for approval. Abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as shares present or represented and entitled to vote on such matters and thus have the same effect as negative votes. A properly marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to any such matter will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

     If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee, your broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the matters to be

2

acted upon. Thus, if you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions, your shares may not be voted on those matters and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval. Shares represented by such “broker non-votes” will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum.

Who pays for the preparation of the proxy?

     We will pay the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the proxy statement, notice of meeting and enclosed proxy card. In addition to the use of mail, our employees may solicit proxies personally and by telephone. Our employees will receive no compensation for soliciting proxies other than their regular salaries. We may request banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward copies of the proxy material to the beneficial owners of our common stock and to request authority for the execution of proxies and we may reimburse such persons for their expenses incurred in connection with these activities.

     Our principal executive offices are located at 2601 South Bayshore Drive, Miami, Florida 33133, and our telephone number is (305) 856-3200. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be available at our offices for a period of ten days prior to the meeting and at the meeting itself for examination by any stockholder.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMMITTEES

     Our Board of Directors has a standing audit committee and compensation committee. We do not have a nominating or similar committee. Our Board of Directors performs the functions of a nominating or similar committee.

     Audit Committee

     The primary function of the audit committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the Company’s financial matters. The Board of Directors has adopted and approved a charter for the audit committee. Under the charter, the duties and responsibilities of the audit committee include:

    recommending to the board the appointment of our auditors and any termination of engagement;
 
    reviewing the scope and results of audits and other services provided by our auditors;
 
    reviewing our significant accounting policies and internal controls; and
 
    having general responsibility for all related auditing matters.

     For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, Timothy Elwes, Miguel J. Rosenfeld and Joel A. Schleicher were the members of our audit committee. The audit committee met four times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the audit committee are “Independent,” as that term is defined by the American Stock Exchange’s listing standards.

     Following is the report of the audit committee:

       Under the guidance of a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which was included as an appendix to the proxy materials for the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders, the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors.
 
       Management has the primary responsibility for the system of internal controls and the financial reporting process. The independent accountants have the responsibility to express an opinion on the financial statements based on an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States. The Audit Committee has the responsibility to monitor and oversee these processes.
 
       In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee recommended to the board the selection of the company’s independent accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. That firm has discussed with the Committee and provided written disclosures to the Committee on (1) that firm’s independence as required by the Independence Standards Board and (2) the matters required to be communicated under generally accepted auditing standards.
 
       The Committee reviewed with the independent accountants the overall scope and specific plans for their respective audits.
 
       Without management present, the Committee met separately with the independent accountants to review the results of their examinations, their evaluation of the company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the company’s accounting and financial reporting.

We reimburse our directors for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of their duties as directors. We currently do not pay fees to our directors for attendance at meetings.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

     Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws designate the relative duties and responsibilities of our officers, establish procedures for actions by directors and stockholders and other items. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also contain indemnification provisions that permit us to indemnify our officers and directors to the maximum extent provided by Delaware law.

Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The following is the compensation committee’s report on executive compensation:

     The policy of the Board of Directors is to maintain executive compensation at competitive levels that will permit us to attract, motivate and retain individuals with superior managerial abilities. The levels of compensation are intended to reward individual initiative and achievement, while motivating our executives to increase stockholder value by improving our performance and profitability.

     The compensation committee reviews the base salaries of our employees (as well as our executive officers) annually, considering factors such as corporate progress toward achieving objectives (without reference to any specific performance-related targets) and individual performance experience and expertise. In determining our employee’s overall compensation, the compensation committee also reviews certain compensation levels at other companies. These other companies are not necessarily the same companies included in the peer group index in the performance graph section of this Proxy Statement. This is because the compensation committee believes that we compete for executive talent with companies in addition to those in our peer group. Additional factors reviewed by the compensation committee in determining appropriate compensation levels include subjective factors related to corporate and individual performance.

13


Table of Contents

     The compensation committee adopted a policy during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, which places executive compensation under an annual review, pursuant to which bonuses and additional option grants, as well as increases to salary, will be based on performance goals as established by the committee and the individual executives at the commencement of each year of employment. Further, the committee places the majority of executive compensation in “at-risk” categories, including stock options and performance bonuses. The committee has adopted a policy by which options granted pursuant to our 1995, 1996 and 2000 Stock Option Plans will be issued with exercise prices set at the fair market value of our common stock at the time of issue.

     Manuel D. Medina has entered into a one year employment agreement, commencing March 10, 2000, whereby he will be employed as President and Chairman of the Board of Terremark Worldwide. The agreement automatically renews for successive one year terms until either party gives written notice of its intention not to renew. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $350,000.

CERTAIN RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     In June 2002, we received a $350,000 short-term non-interest bearing loan from Manuel D. Medina, our Chief Executive Officer. We repaid the loan the same month.

     In May 2002, we received a $1.5 million short-term loan at a 10% interest rate from Mr. Medina.

     In April 2002, we received a $300,000 short-term non-interest bearing loan from Mr. Medina. We repaid the loan in May 2002.

     In April 2002, we received a binding commitment from a group that includes two of our directors, Guillermo Amore and Miguel Rosenfeld, for the purchase of 10 million shares of common stock at $.75 per share. In May 2002, the transaction was completed by receiving $3.6 million in cash and the conversion of $3.9 million in short term promissory notes to equity.

     On September 5, 2001, we closed on a $48.0 million credit facility with a bank. In addition to Mr. Medina personally guaranteeing the credit facility, and in order for us to obtain the facility, the bank further required Mr. Medina to, prior to the bank disbursing funds under the credit facility, (i) provide a $5.0 million certificate of deposit to the bank as collateral for certain personal loans Mr. Medina has with the bank, and (ii) commit to accelerate the maturity date of those personal loans to December 31, 2001. Subsequent to September 2001, Mr. Medina and the bank changed the maturity date on the personal loans, first to December 31, 2001 and later to July 1, 2002. Mr. Medina also agreed to subordinate debt that we owed to Mr. Medina in the event of our default under the credit facility. Mr. Medina has repaid part of those personal loans to the bank through liquidation of the $5.0 million certificate of deposit in January 2002 leaving an outstanding principal balance of approximately $5.4 million and he intends to exercise his right under such personal loan agreements to extend their maturity date from July 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002.

     On September 5, 2001, in consideration of Mr. Medina agreeing to repay his indebtedness to the bank earlier than otherwise required, pledging the certificate of deposit to the bank and personally guaranteeing the $48 million credit facility and approximately $21 million of construction payables, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with him. Under the terms of the amended and restated employment agreement we will indemnify Mr. Medina from any personal liability related to

14


Table of Contents

his guarantees of any of our debt, use commercially reasonable efforts to relieve Mr. Medina of all his guarantees of our debt, provide up to $6.5 million of cash collateral to the bank should Mr. Medina be unable to repay the personal loans when due and provide a non interest-bearing $5.0 million loan to Mr. Medina for as long as his guarantees of our debt exist. If the promissory note becomes in default, we have the right of offset against all amounts payable by us to Mr. Medina, which is approximately $2.2 million as of March 31, 2002. Additionally, as long as Mr. Medina’s guarantees of our debt exist, we have agreed to nominate Mr. Medina to our Board of Directors and not remove Mr. Medina, unless for good cause, or remove any of our officers without Mr. Medina’s consent. There was no change in the amount or timing of Mr. Medina’s cash or non-cash compensation in connection with these agreements, nor did Mr. Medina receive any guarantee fee or other fees in connection with his guaranteeing our indebtedness. We do not anticipate funding the $6.5 million of cash collateral.

     In July 2002, the terms of non-interest bearing note from Mr. Medina were amended. As amended, the note has a maturity date of December 5, 2004 and bears interest subsequent to September 5, 2002 at the applicable federal rate. Interest is due in bi-annual installments. On a quarterly basis, we will review the collectibility of this note. As of July 9, 2002, we owed Mr. Medina approximately $3.7 million. We have the right to withhold payment to Mr. Medina of $1,375,000 in amounts due.

PROPOSAL 2 – INCREASE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

     Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors has unanimously approved an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation which would increase the total authorized number of shares of common stock from 300,000,000 to 400,000,000, thereby increasing the total authorized capital stock of the Company from 310,000,000 to 410,000,000.

     If this proposal is approved by you, the additional shares of our common stock so authorized, as well as shares of our common stock currently authorized but not issued or outstanding, may be issued from time to time upon authorization of our board of directors, without further approval by our stockholders, unless otherwise required by applicable law or the rules of the American Stock Exchange, and for such consideration as our board may determine and as may be permitted by applicable law. Our board believes the increase in the authorized shares of our common stock is necessary to provide us with the flexibility to act in the future with respect to financing and other corporate purposes (although no such specific activities are currently contemplated) without the delay and expense associated with obtaining special stockholder approval each time an opportunity requiring the issuance of shares of our common stock may arise. Such a delay might deny us the flexibility that our board views as important in facilitating the effective use of the securities of our company.

     The increase in authorized shares is not being proposed as a means of preventing or dissuading a change in control or takeover of our company. However, use of these shares for such a purpose is possible. Shares of our authorized but unissued common stock could be issued in an effort to dilute the stock ownership and voting power of persons seeking to obtain control of our company or could be issued to purchasers who would support our board of directors in opposing a takeover proposal. In addition, the increase in authorized shares, if approved, may have the effect of discouraging a challenge for control or making it less likely that such a challenge, if attempted, would be successful.

     The proposed amendment does not change the terms of our common stock. Neither our certificate of incorporation nor Delaware law grants holders of our common stock any preemptive rights. The additional shares of our common stock for which authorization is sought will have the same par value, the same voting rights, the same rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to the shares of our common stock now authorized. Adoption of the proposed amendment to our amended

15


Table of Contents

and restated certificate of incorporation would not affect the rights of the holders of currently outstanding shares of our common stock.

     The authorization of additional shares of our common stock pursuant to this proposal will have no dilutive effect upon the proportionate voting power of our present stockholders. However, to the extent that shares are subsequently issued to persons other than our current stockholders and/or in proportions other than the proportion that presently exists, such issuance could have a substantial dilutive effect on our current stockholders.

     As of the record date for the annual meeting, we had 222,631,074 shares of our common stock outstanding and 49,145,107 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to various outstanding convertible preferred stock, convertible debentures, options and warrants to purchase our common stock.

     The following table illustrates the effect of the increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock.

                 
    Before the Amendment   After the Amendment
   
 
Authorized
    300,000,000       400,000,000

Available for Future Issuance
    28,870,619       128,870,619  

     The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding on the record date will be required to approve this amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

     The following graph presents our total return to our stockholders for the period March 31, 1997 to March 31, 2002. Our common stock is compared to the Russell 2000 Index and a peer group. Due to the changed nature of our business that resulted from the merger of AmTec, Inc. with Terremark Holdings, Inc., we have adopted a new Peer Group Index of companies comprised of Exodus Communications Inc., Data Return Corp., Digex Inc. and Globix Corp. The companies in the Peer Group Index were chosen due to their similar line of business. The information contained in this graph is not necessarily indicative of our future performance.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

     Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms furnished to us and written representations of the reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.
