Item 3.01.
|
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
|
On May 12, 2020, Pareteum Corporation (the
“Company”) received a determination letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market
LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the requirement that a listed company timely
file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission to remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital
Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”). On May 13, 2020, the Company received an additional letter from
Nasdaq indicating that as a result of the Company's failure to file a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal period ended
March 31, 2020, it was in further violation of the Rule. In this letter, Nasdaq stated that this additional noncompliance serves
as an additional basis for the delisting of the Company's common stock from Nasdaq.
The Company intends to timely request
a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). Under Nasdaq’s rules, a timely request
will stay the delisting of the Company’s securities pending the Panel’s decision for a period of 15 days from the
date of the request. During this process, assuming the Panel agrees to stay the suspension of trading beyond an automatic
fifteen day stay, the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market until the Panel issues
its decision following the hearing and through the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel.
However, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq
Capital Market, or that the Company’s plans to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s rules will be successful.

Item 9.01.
|
Financial Statements and Exhibits.

On May 15, 2019, the Company issued a press
release regarding the matters described in Item 3.01 to this current report. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit
99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Forward Looking Statements:
Certain statements contained herein constitute
“forward-looking statements” as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may
include, without limitation, statements with respect to the Company’s plans and objectives, projections, expectations and
intentions. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s
industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult
to predict. We discuss many of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions in Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors”
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as updated by our other filings with the SEC. Because such
statements involve risks and uncertainties, the actual results and performance of the Company may differ materially from the results
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise required by law, the Company also disclaims any obligation
to update its view of any such risks or uncertainties or to announce publicly the result of any revisions to the forward-looking
statements made here. Additional information concerning certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected or suggested in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, copies
of which are available from the SEC or may be obtained upon request from the Company.
