Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On June 6, 2007, Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (the “Company”) exchanged 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $5.0 million principal amount of its Step Up Convertible Subordinated Debentures due August 2009 (the “Debentures”). The common stock was issued pursuant to an exemption under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This exchange, and the resulting extinguishment of $5.0 million in Debentures, reduces the outstanding principal of the Debentures to $22.5 million. The Company will save approximately $0.8 million in interest to maturity as a result of this extinguishment.
