This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Schedule 13D filed on September 1, 2000 (the "Schedule 13D") by Powertel, Inc.
("Powertel") with respect to shares of Common Stock of VoiceStream Wireless
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). All capitalized terms used
in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning
ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following to
the end thereof:
In addition to the general provisions described above applying to each
of the stockholder agreements, Telephone & Data Systems, Inc. ("TDS") and
Powertel entered into a side letter agreement. This agreement provides that, in
the event that the board of directors of TDS determines that TDS is subject to
the regulations of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and TDS is unsuccessful in
obtaining an exemption from such regulations or is not eligible for an
exemption, the restrictions on TDS' right to transfer shares of the Company's
Common Stock will be modified to allow it to sell the minimum number of shares
of the Company's Common Stock that would allow TDS to avoid being characterized
as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940. A copy of
the side letter agreement between Powertel and TDS is attached hereto as Exhibit
9 and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
