ITEM 3.  BANKRUPTCY OR RECEIVERSHIP.

On May 29, 2002, CompleTel Europe N.V. ("CompleTel") commenced a voluntary
composition proceeding in The Netherlands known as an Akkoord. CompleTel
commenced the Akkoord as part of the recapitalization plan it announced on
May 15, 2002. The recapitalization plan involves a debt-for-equity swap in
respect of CompleTel's 14% senior discount notes due 2009 and 14% senior
notes due 2010, the return of escrow funds established at the time of the
issuance of CompleTel's Senior Notes to the holders of those Senior Notes,
and the investment of at least (euro)37 million in additional equity
capital. The recapitalization plan has received the consent of the holders
of over 82 percent of CompleTel's combined outstanding Notes.

CompleTel commenced the Akkoord by filing a draft plan of composition in
the District Court of Amsterdam on May 29, 2002. At the same time,
CompleTel submitted a letter request to the District Court seeking a
preliminary suspension of payments and the immediate scheduling of a
meeting of creditors for a vote upon the plan of composition. Under the
plan of composition, the holders of CompleTel's Notes would receive
convertible preferred B shares and ordinary shares, as described in the
recapitalization plan, while other unsecured and non-preferred creditors
would receive the same consideration as the holders of CompleTel's Senior
Discount Notes. The composition plan would bind all affected Noteholders
and other creditors, and would effectively eliminate all of CompleTel's
outstanding indebtedness.

The District Court granted CompleTel's request for a preliminary suspension
of payments on May 30, 2002, leaving the existing directors and officers of
the Company in place but appointing Mr. E.J. Bink (Herengracht 425-429,
1017 BR Amsterdam, tel: 00 3120 624 6811; fax: 00 3120 627 22785) as
administrator in the suspension of payments and Mrs. A. van Dijk, Member of
the District Court, as supervising judge in respect of the Akkoord
proceeding. The creditors' meeting that will vote on the proposed Akkoord
was originally scheduled for June 24, 2002. The Company anticipates that
this creditors' meeting will be rescheduled to mid-July in order to be
coordinated with the timing of CompleTel's extraordinary general
shareholders meeting that will be held to approve the amendments to
CompleTel's articles of association necessary to effect the
recapitalization plan. CompleTel expects the District Court to complete its
review of the Akkoord by the third quarter of 2002, and it anticipates that
its recapitalization plan will take effect shortly thereafter. The Akkoord
applies only to CompleTel Europe N.V. and not to any of its subsidiaries.
