The Company was previously notified by the Exchange in its May 26, 2016 notice that, in accordance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide, due to the average selling price of the Company's common stock falling below the acceptable minimum required average share price, the Exchange deemed it appropriate for the Company to effect a reverse stock split. With the Company having not presently effected a reverse stock split, the Exchange has further notified the Company in the December 6, 2016 notice, that the Company's continued listing is predicated on either affecting a reverse stock split or otherwise demonstrating sustained price improvement by no later than June 6, 2017.  At the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on August 16, 2016, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the common stock at a ratio of between one-for-ten and one-for-twenty five with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Board o the Directors of the Company in order to regain compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards.



"We are pleased with the substantive progress we have made towards meeting our plan and restoring the company to full compliance with the NYSE MKT," said Hal Turner, Pareteum's Executive Chairman. "With the near completion of our restructuring last quarter, the Company reached pro forma EBITDA breakeven at the end of September 2016. We are squarely focused on moving forward our business and substantial growth plans. We continue to make demonstrable progress and expect to operate with profitable EBITDA (pro forma) in the fourth quarter. The announcement of our Global Mobility Cloud Platform, and the newly added clients, signals that the market sees value in our software service offerings. We expect many more new partner and client relationships, all supported by our EBITDA (pro forma) profitable operations. It is this performance and expected results that bolsters our confidence that we will fully meet our Exchange compliance plan objectives in due course," Mr. Turner added.
