GTS Commences Restructuring Proceedings
LONDON - 15 November 2001 - Global TeleSystems, Inc. ("GTS") announced today that, as previously announced, it and its Global TeleSystems Europe
BV ("GTS Europe") subsidiary have commenced voluntary, "pre-arranged" reorganisation proceedings in the United States; and that GTS Europe has
initiated similar "Surseance" proceedings in the Netherlands. Both of these proceedings were initiated to implement the planned acquisition of GTS`s
Ebone and GTS Central Europe operating businesses by KPNQwest NV, which was announced on 19 October 2001.
The day-to-day business operations of Ebone and GTS Central Europe will not be involved in these proceedings; the only debt to be restructured under
the proposed acquisition and restructuring will be GTS`s and GTS Europe`s publicly traded bond debt. Both GTS`s and GTS Europe`s normal trade debt
and obligations will be paid in full under these proposed plans of reorganisation. As previously announced, GTS`s preferred and common shareholders
will not receive any recovery under the terms of its proposed restructuring plan.
Both petitions were filed with the support of the informal committees representing the holders of GTS`s and GTS Europe`s publicly traded debt.
Approximately 67 percent of the approximately EUR1.1 billion outstanding principal amount of the publicly traded Senior Notes issued by GTS Europe;
approximately 78 percent of the approximately EUR116 million outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes issued by GTS; and approximately 35
percent of the approximately EUR362 million outstanding principal amount of Convertible Debentures issued by GTS already have signed forbearance
agreements committing them to support the proposed transaction, subject to certain terms and conditions.
Grier C. Raclin, GTS Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel, commented: "As we previously outlined, these voluntary proceedings are being
taken to effectuate the share purchase agreement with KPNQwest. They do not involve any of the other operating subsidiaries of GTS, and both the
proposed Dutch and US plans will call for their vendor claims to be paid in full. The day-to-day businesses operations and functions of Ebone and Central
Europe will continue as usual and should remain entirely unaffected by these proceedings."
The US proceeding involving GTS, Inc. was implemented by converting the Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition filed previously against GTS, Inc. into a voluntary
Chapter 11 plan of reorganisation, with the agreement of the relevant petitioners.
