PRESS RELEASE

MOODY’S UPGRADES THE RATINGS OF EUROTEL

BRATISLAVA a.s. FROM B1 TO Ba2; OUTLOOK STABLE

Bratislava, Slovakia, May 29, 2003—EuroTel Bratislava a.s. (“EuroTel” or “the Company”), a leading telecommunications company in the Slovak Republic, announced today that on May 28, 2003, Moody’s upgraded the ratings on EuroTel from B1 to Ba2. Ratings affected by the upgrade are as follows:

•

Senior implied rating to Ba2 from B1

•

Unsecured issuer rating (Slovak Wireless Finance Company B.V.) to Ba2 from B1

•

€175.0 million (reduced to €160mm) 11.25% senior notes due 2007 to Ba2 from B1

The outlook for all ratings is stable. Moody’s report is set forth below:

The ratings upgrade reflects the substantial financial and operational progress which the Company has demonstrated since Moody’s last rating action in April of 2001, positive developments with respect to the sovereign profile of the Slovak Republic (foreign currency rating currently at A3 — Ba1 at the time of Moody’s April 2001 upgrade), and Moody’s perception of a reduced risk of any new entrants entering the market over at least the intermediate term.

In particular, the ratings reflect the company’s strong revenue, EBITDA, and subscriber growth over the past two years. For the quarter ending March 31, 2003, the company reported revenue and EBITDA of Sk2,475 million [€60.4 million]^* (2002: Sk2,088 million [€51 million]^*) and Sk1,074 million [€26.2 million]^* (2002: Sk592 million [€14.5 million]^*), respectively. Gross debt/annualised EBITDA at the end of the period amounted to approximately 1.5x (2002: 2.7x) while subscribers at March 31, 2003 amounted to approximately 1.3 million (1.1 million at March 31, 2002).

The ratings continue to reflect strong competition from EuroTel’s only rival (Orange Slovensko a.s.) which has maintained a leading market share (c. 57% in March 2003) in the Slovak market, high on-going capital expenditure requirements (albeit, largely customer driven) which will likely constrain the company’s ability to generate sustained free-cash flow over the immediate term, and the on-going challenge to increase subscriber numbers, maintain ARPU, and contain churn in a competitive marketplace that has been characterised with slowing overall penetration rates. Moody’s notes that while revenues and EBITDA have increased substantially over the past two years, the company returned to a free cash flow negative position (before financing activities) in 2002 (positive in 2001) as a result of high CAPEX requirements and a final UMTS license payment instalment. While continued high capital investments (largely related to capacity increase and further geographic expansion) are likely to constrain the company’s ability to generate free cash flow in 2003, Moody’s expects that the company should be able to generate sustained free cash flow from 2004 onwards.

The conversions to € are not part of the original Moody’s report and were added solely for the convenience of the reader. They are based on an exchange rate of approximately Sk41 to €1.

Moody’s believes that the Slovak cellular market continues to afford growth potential for EuroTel, albeit absolute subscriber growth rates are expected to remain relatively slow compared to historic figures (in-line with reduced market penetration growth). Incremental cellular penetration will continue to depend in part on the continued macroeconomic progress of the Slovak Republic. Moody’s notes that the country’s sovereign risk profile has significantly improved (foreign currency rating currently at A3 — Ba1 at the time of Moody’s April 2001 upgrade), largely as a result of the country’s expected entry into the E.U. in 2004.

EuroTel’s competitive environment remains favorable to continued development, as the current duopoly will likely extend well beyond 2003 given relatively high existing mobile penetration rates and resultant economic barriers to entry for any prospective new competitors. Moody’s believes that both competitors in the market will maintain rational pricing and subscriber acquisition programs (despite the increasingly challenging environment for subscriber acquisitions) in order to prevent significant margin erosion.

Headquartered in Bratislava, Slovakia, EuroTel is the second largest of the two domestic cellular operators. The company is also a leading provider of managed data network services offering data transmission and Internet services.

EuroTel (http://www.eurotel.sk) is a leading telecommunications company in the Slovak Republic, offering both mobile telecommunications services and managed data network services. As of March 31, 2003, 1,312,570 active customers were using the services provided by EuroTel. EuroTel’s GSM and NMT mobile networks cover approximately 97% of the Slovak Republic’s 5.4 million population. EuroTel is owned 51% by Slovak Telecom (http://www.telecom.sk), a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG (Frankfurt, Amtlicher Handel: DTE / NYSE: DT; http://www.telekom.de), and 49% by Atlantic West B.V., a joint venture between subsidiaries of Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ; http://www.verizon.com) and AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. (NYSE: AWE; http://www.attws.com).
