This Amendment No. 2 (this Amendment) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on March 24, 2003, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on April 21, 2003 (as amended, the Schedule 13D) by Joint Stock Financial Corporation Sistema (Sistema), Invest-Svyaz-Holding (ISH) and Vladimir P. Evtushenkov with respect to the shares of common stock, par value 0.1 Russian ruble per share (the Shares), of Mobile TeleSystems OJSC (the Issuer). All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. |
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
Item
3 is amended in pertinent part as follows: On April 22, 2003, Sistema paid the purchase price of $366,698,597.30 for the Option (the Purchase Price) and on April 25, 2003, the Shares and the shares of ISH that were subject to the Option were transferred in accordance with Section 2 of the Call Option Agreement. The sources of funds for the Option were Sistemas working capital and the net proceeds of the offering by Sistemas subsidiary, Sistema Finance S.A., of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 10¼% Guaranteed Senior Secured Notes due 2008 for which Deutsche Bank AG London and ING Bank N.V., London Branch served as representatives of the initial purchasers. |
|
|
|
Item 4. |
Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 is amended in pertinent part as follows: The purpose of exercising the Option was to increase Sistemas
holding in the Issuer. In accordance
with Section 2 of the Call Option Agreement, upon receipt of the Purchase
Price, T-Mobile transferred to Sistema 120,811,184 Shares and 78,521,430
shares of ISH. As a result of these
transfers on April 25, 2003, Sistemas direct holding in the Issuer has
increased to 40.8%, Sistemas holding in ISH has increased to 100% and the
transactions contemplated by the Unwind Agreement shall no longer occur. Subject to the conditions mentioned herein and in the Schedule 13D,
the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Shares and/or sell or hold
Shares currently held (including those acquired pursuant to the Option). Any actions Sistema or the other Reporting
Persons might undertake will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons review
of numerous factors, including, among other things, the price levels of the
Shares; general market and economic conditions; ongoing evaluation of the
Issuers business, financial condition, operations and prospects; the
relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities;
and other future developments. Except as set forth in this Amendment and 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. |

Item 5. |
Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Item 5 is amended in pertinent part as follows: (a), (b) As of the close of
business on April 25, 2003, Sistema held 813,334,652 Shares directly, which
represent 40.8% of the Shares outstanding (the Outstanding Shares). Sistema has sole voting and dispositive
power with respect to the Shares it holds of record. As of the close of business on April 25, 2003, ISH held 160,247,802
Shares directly, which represent 8.0% of the Outstanding Shares. ISH has sole voting and dispositive power
with respect to the Shares it holds of record. As of the close of business on April 25, 2003, Sistema owned
100% of ISH. As the sole shareholder
of ISH, Sistema may be deemed to beneficially own any Shares ISH holds of
record. Sistema owns a 51% interest in VAST, a limited partnership formed
under the laws of the Russian Federation.
As of the close of business on April 25, 2003, VAST held 60,219,432
Shares directly, which represent 3.0% of the Outstanding Shares. VAST has sole voting and dispositive power
with respect to the Shares it holds of record. As a partner in VAST with shared voting and dispositive power
with respect to the Shares VAST holds of record, Sistema may be deemed to
beneficially own any Shares VAST holds of record, but it expressly disclaims
beneficial ownership of 49% of the Shares VAST holds of record. Except as set forth in this Item 5(a)-(b) of this Amendment and the
Schedule 13D, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons
set forth in Exhibit A of the Schedule 13D held any Shares directly or has
the right to vote or dispose of any Shares held by Sistema or ISH as of the
close of business on April 25, 2003. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a
group in relation to their respective holdings of Shares. The Reporting Persons do not affirm the
existence of a group. In addition,
VAST may be deemed to be a member of such group, however, the
Reporting Persons expressly disclaim that it is such a member. As a result of the Shareholders
Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a group with T-Mobile or
Deutsche Telekom AG (which owns 100% of T-Mobile), however, each Reporting
Person expressly disclaims that it is such a member. Except as set forth in this Item 5(a)-(b) of this Amendment and the
Schedule 13D, each of the persons named in this Item 5(a)-(b) of this
Amendment and the Schedule 13D disclaims beneficial ownership of any Shares
owned beneficially or of record by any other person named in this Item
5(a)-(b) of this Amendment and the Schedule 13D. (c) On April 22, 2003,
Sistema paid the Purchase Price for the Option, as detailed above. The price per Share of the Shares
transferred pursuant to the Option on April 25, 2003 was $1.95. Except as set forth herein and the
Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the
Reporting Persons, any person identified on Exhibit A of the Schedule 13D,
has effected any transaction in the Shares during the past 60 days. (d) Except as set forth in
this Amendment and the Schedule 13D, to the knowledge of the Reporting
Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the
receipt of dividends, or the proceeds from the sale of, any Shares
beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. (e) Not applicable. |
