This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends the statement on Schedule 13G filed on April 5, 2017 (the "Original Schedule 13G", as amended, the "Schedule 13G"), with respect to shares of Common Stock, $0.00001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Pareteum Corp. (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13G. This Amendment amends and restates Items 4 and 5 in their entirety as set forth below.

  Item 4. OWNERSHIP.
     
    The information as of the date of the event which requires filing of this statement required by Items 4(a) – (c) is set forth in Rows 5 – 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person hereto and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person.  The percentage set forth in Row 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person is based on 42,924,766 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of December 1, 2017, as represented in the Company’s Prospectus Supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 1, 2017 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) and assumes the exercise of the Company’s reported warrants (the “Reported Warrants”).
