All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Item 2. Identity and Background The Schedule 13D is now filed also by T-Mobile Worldwide Holding GmbH, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany ("TMWH") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile International. TMWH's business address is Landgrabenweg 151, D-53227 Bonn, Germany. TMWH is a holding company, the principal business of which is holding the Shares described in the Schedule 13D. T-Mobile International, DTAG and TMWH are referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons." The name, business address, citizenship and present principal occupation or employment of each director and executive officer of each Reporting Person is set forth on Exhibit A hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise specified, each director and executive officer of each Reporting Person is a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany. During the last five years, neither of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge, any person on Exhibit A has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which proceeding such Reporting Person or person is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. On December 17, 2003, T-Mobile International transferred the 501,325,547 Shares it previously held directly to TMWH for T-Mobile International's internal 6 organizational purposes. There was no other change to T-Mobile International's plans or intentions with respect to, or contractual or other relationship with, the Issuer. Except as set forth in the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Reporting Persons intend to continue to review their investment in the Issuer from time to time and may determine to purchase or sell additional Shares from time to time to the extent permitted by the agreements described in the Schedule 13D and applicable law. Any action or actions the Reporting Persons might undertake in respect of their Shares will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons' review of numerous factors, including, among other things, the price level and liquidity of the Shares; general market and economic conditions; ongoing evaluation of the Issuer's business, financial condition, operations and prospects; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; tax considerations; and other factors and future developments. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. At the date hereof, TMWH has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 501,325,547 Shares it holds of record. For purposes of the Schedule 13D and this Amendment, T-Mobile International is also reported as having sole voting and dispositive power over such Shares by virtue of its control over TMWH, and DTAG is also reported as having sole voting and dispositive power over such Shares by virtue of its control over T-Mobile International. As TMWH's sole shareholder, T-Mobile International may be deemed to own all such Shares beneficially, and as T-Mobile International's sole shareholder, DTAG may be deemed to own all such Shares beneficially. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a group with Sistema, ISH, Vladimir P. Evtushenkov or VAST by virtue of the Call Option Agreement and other related agreements. However, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims that it is such a member. Except as set forth in this Item 5(a)-(b), each of the persons named in this Item 5(a)-(b) disclaims beneficial ownership of any Shares owned beneficially or of record by any other person named in this Item 5(a)-(b). (c). Except for the transfer of Shares by T-Mobile International to TMWH described herein, there have been no transactions in Shares by any of the Reporting Persons or, to the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge, any of the persons set forth in Exhibit A during the past 60 days. 7 (d). No other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. (e). Not applicable. 8 SIGNATURE --------- After reasonable inquiry and to the best of each of the undersigned's knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
