ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 (the
"Common Stock") of Alamosa PCS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Alamosa"). The principal executive offices of Alamosa are located at 4403
Brownfield Highway, Lubbock, Texas 79407.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
This statement is filed by Plateau Telecommunications, Incorporated
("Plateau"), Telecommunications Holdings East, Inc. ("THE") and ENMR Telephone
Cooperative ("ENMR," and together with Plateau and THE, the "Reporting
Persons"). Plateau is a wholly-owned subsidiary of THE, which is wholly-owned by
ENMR. An agreement among the Reporting Persons with respect to the filing of
this statement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
Each of Plateau, THE and ENMR is a New Mexico corporation. The principal
business activities of Plateau are to participate in deregulated
telecommunications opportunities. THE is a holding company with no business
activities. ENMR primarily provides telephone services as a telephone
cooperative. The principal business and office address of each of the Reporting
Persons is 7111 North Prince, Clovis, NM 88102-1947.
The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment,
and citizenship of each director and executive officer of the Reporting Persons
are set forth on Attachment A hereto. Such persons disclaim beneficial ownership
of the shares of Common Stock held by Plateau.
During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the
best of their knowledge, any of their directors or executive officers, has been
(1) convicted of any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) or (2) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is 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 violation with respect to such laws.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
On February 3, 2000, Plateau acquired 194,215 shares of Common Stock for
$15.8525 per share, the initial public offering price less the underwriting
discount, by exercising its right to purchase a portion of up to 10% of the
common stock offered to the public in Alamosa's initial public offering of
Common Stock (the "10% Shares"). Plateau used working capital to finance the
acquisition of the 10% Shares.
<PAGE> 6
-----------------
Page 6 of 8 Pages
-----------------
On February 7, 2000, Plateau acquired an additional 3,000,000 shares of
Common Stock of Alamosa as a result of a merger of Alamosa PCS Holdings, Inc., a
Texas corporation ("Alamosa-Texas"), with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Alamosa. Plateau's shares of Alamosa-Texas' common stock were exchanged for
shares of Common Stock of Alamosa at a ratio of 1:1 (the "Merger Shares").
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION
As stated in Item 3 above, the Reporting Persons acquired the Merger
Shares as a result of the merger.
The Reporting Persons acquired the 10% Shares and the Merger Shares for
investment purposes. Depending on market conditions and other factors, the
Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares as they deem appropriate,
whether in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or
otherwise. The Reporting Persons also reserve the right to dispose of some or
all of their shares in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions to
third parties or otherwise. The Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals
which relate to or would result in any action specified in clauses (a) through
(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Mr. Tom Phelps, Executive Vice President of Plateau, THE and ENMR,
currently serves on the board of directors of Alamosa. However, there is no
agreement or arrangement among the Reporting Persons and Alamosa or any other
person for him to continue to serve as a director of Alamosa.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
The responses of each Reporting Person to Items 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on
the cover page of this statement and Attachment A hereto relating to beneficial
ownership as well as voting and dispositive power are incorporated herein by
reference. The Reporting Persons share voting and dispositive power as a result
of their parent-subsidiary relationships.
Except as set forth in Item 3 above and Attachment A hereto, no Reporting
Person nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person
identified on Attachment A, beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock or has
effected any transactions in shares of Common Stock during the preceding 60
days.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
