Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On June 29, 2005, VIA NET.WORKS, Inc. (“VIA”) and Sorbie Europe B.V. (formerly PSINet Europe B.V.) (“Sorbie”) entered into a series of agreements (the “Agreements”) relating to the release by Sorbie of all of VIA’s obligations related to the unsecured zero coupon convertible note of Euro 6.0 million (approximately $7.5 million) due in full November 20, 2005 (the “Note”) issued to Sorbie in connection with VIA’s acquisition of the PSINet Europe companies on August 9, 2004. Under the Agreements, VIA and the sellers of the PSINet Europe companies mutually released all claims that either party has or may in the future have against the other party under the August 9, 2004 purchase agreement. In consideration for the cancellation of the Note, VIA has agreed to pay to Sorbie approximately $2.0 million and to issue to Sorbie 7,173,341 shares of VIA common stock. After this issuance, Sorbie would hold 9.9% of the total issued and outstanding shares of VIA. Pursuant to the Agreements, the release and cancellation and VIA’s payment and issuance of the shares to Sorbie would occur no later than two days after the date of completion of the sale of VIA’s business or the recapitalization of VIA with new funds. The shares will be issued in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
