Item 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On July 2, 2001, Arch Wireless Communications, Inc. (the "Registrant")
announced that it is deferring an interest payment of approximately $8,287,500
which was due on July 2, 2001 under the Registrant's outstanding 12-3/4% Senior
Notes due 2007 (the "12-3/4% Notes"). If the Registrant does not make this
interest payment within 30 days, it will be in default under the indenture
governing the 12-3/4% Notes, which would also then constitute a default under
substantially all indebtedness for money borrowed of the Registrant, the
Registrant's parent, Arch Wireless, Inc. ("Parent"), and Parent's other direct
and indirect subsidiaries.
