(Attach extra Sheets if Needed)

As previously reported, Fusion Connect, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Form 12b-25 with the U.S. Securities and Commission (the “SEC”) on March 15, 2019 and an amendment to such Form 12b-25 on April 2, 2019 to indicate that the Company would not be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”) by the March 15, 2019 deadline or April 2, 2019 extension deadline, respectively, without unreasonable effort or expense.

As previously reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2019 (the “April 2, 2019 Form 8-K”), the Company concluded that certain financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and the quarters ended on June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018 need to be restated (the “Restatement”) and should no longer be relied upon due to accounting errors identified at one of the companies acquired by the Company in connection with its merger with Birch Communication Holdings, Inc. on May 4, 2018. The determination was made upon the recommendation of the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors and after consultation with the Company’s independent auditors and management team.

As previously reported, on June 3, 2019, the Company and each of its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (and the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re Fusion Connect, Inc., et al. (Case No. 19-11811). The Debtors are operating their businesses as “debtors in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

On July 1, 2019, the Debtors filed the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Fusion Connect, Inc. and Its Subsidiary Debtors (the “Initial Plan”) and the related disclosure statement (the “Initial Disclosure Statement”) with the Court. On October 7, 2019, the Debtors filed the second amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Fusion Connect, Inc. and Its Subsidiary Debtors (the “Second Amended Plan”) and the related second amended disclosure statement (the “Second Amended Disclosure Statement” and, together with the Initial Disclosure Statement, the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Court. On November 8, 2019, the Debtors filed with the Court the Third Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Fusion Connect, Inc. and Its Subsidiary Debtors (the “Third Amended Plan”), which amends the Second Amended Plan (the “Third Amended Plan”, together with the Initial Plan and the Second Amended Plan, the “Plan”). The Plan has been approved by the Court and the Company is in the process of soliciting approval of the Plan from certain of the Company’s creditors. A confirmation hearing on the Plan is scheduled for December 5, 2019.

The Company filed (i) a Form 12b-25 with the SEC on July 3, 2019 to indicate that the Company would be unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019 (the “March 2019 Form 10-Q”) without unreasonable effort or expense and (ii) a Form 12b-25 with the SEC on August 9, 2019 to indicate that the Company would be unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019 (the “June 2019 Form 10-Q”) without unreasonable effort or expense.

As a result of these events, the considerable time and resources management must devote to the Chapter 11 Cases and the related administrative requirements, the Company has been unable to complete the preparation of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019 (the “September 2019 Form 10-Q”) within its normal review cycle and has determined that it is unable to timely file its September 2019 Form 10-Q without unreasonable effort or expense. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate when it will be able to complete and file its September 2019 Form 10-Q.

For additional information on the Company’s filing of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement and risk factors applicable to the Company, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 2, 2019, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements

This form includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “shall,” “will,” “seeks,” “targets,” “future,” or other similar expressions or the statements that include those words, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: statements relating to the Company’s ability to emerge from bankruptcy proceedings; statements relating to the timing of the completion of the audit procedures for the 2018 Form 10-K; statements relating to the timing of the filing of the 2018 Form 10-K, the March 2019 Form 10-Q, the June 2019 Form 10-Q, the September 2019 Form 10-Q and other SEC filings.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, and the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from future results, performance or achievements expressed in these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current beliefs, intentions and expectations. These statements are not guarantees or indicative of future performance, nor should any conclusions be drawn or assumptions be made as to any potential outcome of the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Trading in the Company’s securities during the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. The Plan contemplates that, on the effective date, all of the Company’s equity interests will be extinguished and shall be of no further force and effect, whether surrendered for cancellation or otherwise, and holders of such equity interests will not receive any recovery on account of those interests. The Company therefore cautions readers against relying on these forward-looking statements.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, conform such statements to actual results or to changes in Company’s expectations, except as required by law. Please also refer to the “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 2, 2019.
