PROSPECTUS
SHARED TECHNOLOGIES INC.
6,237,996 Shares of Common Stock
This Prospectus relates to the offer and sale by certain of the
Shareholders named in the "Selling Shareholders" section of this
Prospectus of up to (i) 2,137,866 shares of common stock, $.004
par value per share (the "Common Stock") of Shared Technologies
Inc. (the "Company"or "STI") which have heretofore been issued;
(ii) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, as described
below; (iii) 588,947 shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, as
described below; and (iv) 2,511,183 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants.
On July 1, 1995, each share of Series F Preferred Stock will
automatically be converted into the number of shares of fully
paid and nonassessable Common Stock derived by dividing the
number 1 by a fraction, the denominator of which is $5.00 and the
numerator of which is ninety percent (90%) of the closing price
per share of the Common Stock on the principal national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or
admitted to trading or, if not then listed or admitted to trading
on any such exchange, on the NASDAQ National Market System, or if
not then listed or traded on any such exchange or system, the bid
price per share on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market, averaged over the
30 trading days immediately preceding July 1, 1995. Upon such
conversion, each share of Series F Preferred Stock will be
cancelled and not subject to reissuance. Accordingly, as the
total number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series F
Preferred Stock will be converted cannot be determined until July
1, 1995, in addition to the 700,000 shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance upon conversion of the 700,000 shares of
Series F Preferred Stock, this Registration Statement includes an
additional 300,000 shares of Common Stock to be reserved for
issuance upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock to allow
for an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock into
which the Series F Preferred Stock will be converted.
Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible, at the
option of the holder thereof, at any time into one share of fully
paid and nonassessable Common Stock (subject to adjustment as
described in the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation).
The Selling Shareholders and broker and dealers through whom the
shares of Common Stock are sold may be deemed "underwriters"
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
with respect to such shares of Common Stock and any profits
realized or commissions received may be deemed underwriting
compensation. See "Plan of Distribution" for certain
indemnification arrangements.
The Company will receive no part of the proceeds from the sale of
the shares of Common Stock. All expenses incurred in connection
with this offering, which expenses are not expected to exceed
$25,000, will be borne by the Company.
On June 27, 1995, the last reported sale price of the Common
Stock on the NASDAQ National Market System was $4.50 per share.
The Common Stock is traded under the symbol "STCH."

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The Company
Shared Technologies Inc., which was incorporated on January 30,
1986, its subsidiaries and affiliated partnerships (collectively,
the "Company") are engaged in providing shared tenant services
("STS") to tenants of modern, multi-tenant office buildings. As
an STS provider, the Company generally obtains the exclusive
right from a building owner (the "Owner/Developer") to install an
on-site communications system, called a private branch exchange
("PBX"), or an off-site communications system, called centrex,
and to market telecommunications and office automation services
and equipment to tenants. The STS provider often leases space
within the building for on-site support staff. STS provides an
Owner/Developer with an important building amenity and provides a
tenant with the availability of one-stop shopping for a wide
range of telecommunications and office automation equipment and
services, including basic telephone equipment, local and long-
distance network services, as well as on-site training,
maintenance and support, without any capital investment. The
Company also offers its customers data services, as well as data
processing and office automation equipment, service and support.
Additionally, the Company sells and rents cellular telephones in
numerous locations both to its existing customers and the general
marketplace.
The Company is currently negotiating for the acquisition of all
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Office Telephone
Management, a California corporation, which provides shared
tenant services and other telecommunications services and
equipment, for the total price of $3,000,000. The purchase price
for such acquisition will consist of the payment of cash in the
amount of approximately $1,800,000 and the issuance of a
promissory note in the approximate amount of $1,200,000 payable
over a period of ten (10) years.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The sales may be offered and sold by the Selling Shareholders.
Such sales may be made in the over-the-counter market, in a
privately negotiated transaction, or otherwise, at prices and at
terms then prevailing, at prices related to then current market
prices or at negotiated prices. The shares of Common Stock may
be sold by one or more of the following methods: (a) a block
trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to
sell the shares of Common Stock as agent but may position and
resell a portion of the block as principal in order to consummate
the transaction; (b) a purchase by a broker or dealer as
principal, and the resale by such broker or dealer for its
account pursuant to this Prospectus, including resale to another
broker or dealer; or (c) ordinary brokerage transactions and
transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers. In
effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by a Selling
Shareholder may arrange for other brokers or dealers to
participate. Any such brokers or dealers will receive
commissions or discounts from a Selling Shareholder in amounts to
be negotiated immediately prior to the sale. Such brokers or
dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers may be
deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. Any gain realized by such a broker or
dealer on the sale of shares of Common Stock which it purchases
as a principal may be deemed to be compensation to the broker or
dealer in addition to any commission paid to the broker by a
Selling Shareholder.
The Company will not receive any portion of the proceeds of the
shares of Common Stock sold by the Selling Shareholders but will
receive amounts upon exercise of the Common Stock Purchase
Warrants, which funds will be used for working capital. There is
no assurance that the Selling Shareholders will sell any or all
of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.
The Company will pay certain expenses incident to the offering
and sale of the shares of Common Stock to the public. The
Company will not pay for, among other expenses, commissions and
discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents or the fees and
expenses of counsel for the Selling Shareholders. The Company
and the Selling Shareholders, severally, have agreed to indemnify
each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the Common Stock offered hereby has been passed
upon for the Company by Gadsby & Hannah, Boston, Massachusetts.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware permits the Registrant to indemnify an officer, director
or employee in respect of claims made by reason of his status
with the Registrant including stockholder derivative suits
provided he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal act or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Expenses incurred in defense of such action may be paid by the
Registrant in advance of final disposition upon receipt of an
undertaking to repay if there is an ultimate determination that
he is not entitled to be indemnified.
The Delaware Supreme Court has held that the directors' duty of
care to a corporation and its stockholders requires the exercise
of an informed business judgment. Having become informed of all
material information reasonably available to them, directors must
act with requisite care in the discharge of their duties. The
Delaware General Corporation Law and Article Sixth of the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation exonerate the
Company's directors from personal liability to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty of
care as a director, with certain exceptions. The exceptions
include breach of a director's duty of loyalty, acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
knowing violations of law, improper declaration of dividends and
transactions from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. The limitation of liability provision does not
eliminate a stockholder's right to seek non-monetary, equitable
remedies such as injunction or rescission to redress an action
taken by directors. However, as a practical matter, equitable
remedies may not be available in all situations, and there may be
instances in which no effective remedy is available.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding
involving a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company
where indemnification will be required or permitted. The Company
is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may
result in a claim for such indemnification.

Item 17. Undertakings
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
1. For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
2. For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of
Prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in
reliance upon 430A and contained in a form of Prospectus filed by
the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under
the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
3. For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a
form of Prospectus shall be deemed to be a new Registration
Statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
