Item 5.  Other Events

On September 6, 2002, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") entered an order confirming
Teligent, Inc.'s (the "Company") Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"), subject to
certain conditions precedent to its effectiveness. On September 12, 2002, the
Company satisfied these conditions and declared the Plan effective. A copy of
the Plan, as confirmed, is filed as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto.

The Company has determined that following the effectiveness of the Plan there
are fewer than 300 holders of record, as defined pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), of the
Company's Class A common stock. As a result, after the filing of this report the
Company intends to promptly file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate, effective
immediately upon such filing, the registration of its Class A common stock under
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirely by reference to the Plan, which is incorporated by reference and the
Chapter 11 petition, motions and related pleadings and papers on file with the
Bankruptcy Court.
