Euronext Amsterdam: Announcement Regarding Listing Measure Imposed On Versatel

On 30 September 2002, Versatel published a prospectus which revealed that the company will have sufficient shareholders equity on 9 October to comply with the criteria governing admission to Euronext Amsterdam's official market. In view of this, the management of Euronext Amsterdam has decided that the listing measure that Versatel is currently subject to (the so-called ''strafbankje'' or ''penalty bench'') will be lifted on 10 October 2002, provided that the restructuring plan is completed on 9 October 2002.
