AMENDMENT NO.1 TO SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 1 to the Statement on Schedule 13D, filed on June 11, 2007 (the “Statement”), relates to the beneficial ownership of Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). This Amendment is being filed on behalf of the reporting persons (the “Reporting Persons”) identified on the cover pages of this Statement. Information in respect of each Reporting Person is given solely by such Reporting Person and no Reporting Person has responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of information supplied by any other Reporting Person.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The disclosure in Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The Fund acquired 10,293,451 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8,234,700, which was funded through the working capital of the Fund.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The disclosure in Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) (i) The Fund is the direct beneficial owner of 10,293,451 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 7.22% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The disclosure in Item 5(c) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(c) The table below lists the dates on which the Fund acquired Shares in the past 60 days, together with the amount of Shares acquired on such date and the price per such Share. All such acquisitions were made in the open market on “Pink Sheets.” The table below corrects the number of shares acquired by the Fund on May 24, 2007, which was incorrectly stated in the Statement due to a cancel/correct order that inadvertently was not taken into account and which Fund Manager (as defined in the Statement) did not become aware of until June 28, 2007.
