This Amendment No. 1 to Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the beneficial ownership of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Cogent Communications Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).  This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of Oak Investment Partners IX, Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Oak Investment Partners IX”), Oak Associates IX, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Oak Associates IX”), Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A, Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A”), Oak IX Affiliates Fund, Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Oak IX Affiliates Fund”), Oak IX Affiliates, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Oak IX Affiliates”), Oak Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Oak Management”), Bandel L. Carano, Gerald R. Gallagher, Edward F. Glassmeyer, Fredric W. Harman and Ann H. Lamont (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), and amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission by the Reporting Persons on August 8, 2003. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 3.

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 2, 2004 (the “Symposium Gamma Merger Agreement”), among the Company, Lux Merger Sub, Inc. (“Lux”) and Symposium Gamma, Inc. (“Symposium Gamma”), Lux was merged with and into Symposium Gamma with Symposium Gamma surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Oak Investment Partners IX, Oak IX Affiliates Fund and Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A each held Symposium Gamma common stock prior to the completion of the merger. Under the terms of the Symposium Gamma Merger Agreement, on January 5, 2004, (i) the 124 shares of Symposium Gamma common stock then held by Oak Investment Partners IX were converted into 290 shares of Series I Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, of the Company (“Series I Preferred Stock”), (ii) the 1 share of Symposium Gamma common stock then held by Oak IX Affiliates Fund was converted into 3 shares of Series I Preferred Stock and (iii) the 3 shares of Symposium Gamma common stock then held by Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A were converted into 7 shares of Series I Preferred Stock. The purchase price for the Symposium Gamma common stock originally purchased by Oak Investment Partners IX, Oak IX Affiliates Fund and Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A was furnished from the investment capital of Oak Investment Partners IX, Oak IX Affiliates Fund and Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A contributed by their investors. No part of such purchase price was borrowed by such Reporting Persons for the purpose of acquiring such securities.  No additional consideration was paid by Oak Investment Partners IX, Oak IX Affiliates Fund or Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A in connection with the conversion of Symposium Gamma common stock into shares of Common Stock of the Company.

Each share of Series I Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.1613, or at an initial conversion rate of approximately 6,199.628 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series I Preferred Stock converted, subject to antidilution adjustments  (subject to certain exceptions) and certain other adjustments as set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series I Preferred Stock of the Company listed as Exhibit G hereto (the “Series I Certificate of Designation”).

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 30, 2004 (the “Symposium Omega Merger Agreement”), among the Company, DE Merger Sub, Inc. (“DE Sub”) and Symposium Omega, Inc. (“Symposium Omega”), DE Sub was merged with and into Symposium Omega with Symposium Omega surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Oak Investment Partners IX,

Oak IX Affiliates Fund and Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A each held Symposium Omega common stock prior to the completion of the merger. Under the terms of the Symposium Omega Merger Agreement, on March 30, 2004, (i) the 522 shares of Symposium Omega common stock then held by Oak Investment Partners IX were converted into 522 shares of Series J Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, of the Company (“Series J Preferred Stock”), (ii) the 6 shares of Symposium Omega common stock then held by Oak IX Affiliates Fund were converted into 6 shares of Series J Preferred Stock and (iii) the 12 shares of Symposium Omega common stock then held by Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A were converted into 12 shares of Series J Preferred Stock. The purchase price for the Symposium Omega common stock originally purchased by Oak Investment Partners IX, Oak IX Affiliates Fund and Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A was furnished from the investment capital of Oak Investment Partners IX, Oak IX Affiliates Fund and Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A contributed by their investors. No part of such purchase price was borrowed by such Reporting Persons for the purpose of acquiring such securities.  No additional consideration was paid by Oak Investment Partners IX, Oak IX Affiliates Fund or Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A in connection with the conversion of Symposium Omega common stock into shares of Common Stock of the Company.

Each share of Series J Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.1613, or at an initial conversion rate of approximately 30,998.15 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series J Preferred Stock converted, subject to antidilution adjustments  (subject to certain exceptions) and certain other adjustments as set forth in the Corrected Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series J Preferred Stock of the Company listed as Exhibit H hereto (the “Series J Certificate of Designation”).

This Item 3 (and the other Items of this statement) do not provide a complete description of the Series I Certificate of Designation or the Series J Certificate of Designation, which are listed as Exhibits G and H hereto respectively, and each such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the respective document.

Amounts shown as beneficially owned by each of Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A, Oak IX Affiliates, Oak Management, Bandel L. Carano, Edward F. Glassmeyer, Fredric W. Harman and Ann H. Lamont include (i) 47,066 shares of Common Stock directly owned by Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A, (ii) 1,361,217 shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series G-1 Preferred Stock purchased by Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A may be initially converted, (iii) 43,397 shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series I Preferred Stock held by Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A may be initially converted and (iv) 371,978 shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series J Preferred Stock held by Oak IX Affiliates Fund – A may be initially converted.

Please see Items 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13 for each cover sheet for each Reporting Person.

(c)                                  Except as set forth in Item 4 above, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d)                                 Except as set forth in this Item 5, no person other than each respective record owner referred to herein of securities is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such securities.

(e)                                  Not applicable.
