Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure

As previously reported, on May 17, 2000, the Company and its subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Case No. 00-1982 (GMS) in the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware located in Wilmington, Delaware (the “Court”). The Company also reports through its subsidiaries GST USA, Inc. and GST Network Funding, Inc. During the course of the proceeding, the Company has operated its business and managed its properties and assets as a debtor in possession. On December 3, 2001, the Company filed its First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation of GST Telecom Inc., et al. (as subsequently amended and modified, the “Plan”). At a hearing before the Court on February 16, 2002, the Company announced that the Plan had been accepted by all classes eligible to vote on the Plan.

On April 18, 2002, the Court entered an order confirming the Plan. On April 30, 2002, the Plan became effective and the Company is now in liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

The Company currently has approximately $71,600,000 in cash that is to be distributed to creditors of the Company in accordance with the Plan.

On or about July 15, 2003, the Company will make its fourth distribution to unsecured creditors, in the amount of approximately $22,000,000.00, pursuant to the Plan. This distribution is 2.99% of allowed unsecured claims, making the total distribution to date to unsecured creditors $325,700,000 or 44.22% of their allowed claims. After this distribution the Company will have approximately $49,600,000 in cash, held in various reserves. These reserves are recalculated quarterly to determine the amount of distribution allowable under the Plan.
