Dobson repurchases notes

OKLAHOMA CITY-Dobson Communications Corp. said it has completed a series of open market transactions initiated earlier this year to repurchase approximately $55.5 million of its 8.875 percent senior notes for approximately $48.3 million. Dobson reported earlier this week that it will delay the filing of its 2003 10-K report due to discrepancies in 2004 bank covenants.
