NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED

Liquidity

As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company reported net losses of $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $222.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The 2019 net loss included goodwill and intangible asset impairment of $156.8 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $548.9 million and cash balances available for operations of $3.7 million.

On December 10, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors designated 255 shares of preferred stock to be 8.0% Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Redeemable Preferred Stock") with a stated value of $100,000 per share. On various dates from December 24, 2019 through August 18, 2020, the Company issued 217.67 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock in private placement transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with a stated value of $21.8 million for an aggregate purchase price of $13.9 million, from which the Company received net proceeds of $13.1 million after deducting legal fees of $0.8 million.

In May 2020, Pareteum received a $0.6 million Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan (the "Pareteum PPP Loan") and iPass received an $0.8 million PPP loan (the "iPass PPP Loan" and together with the Pareteum PPP Loan, the "PPP Loans") under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act. The PPP Loans provide for a balloon payment of the outstanding principal balance at maturity, which is two years from the funding date, and bear interest at 1.0%, however, under the CARES Act, all or a portion of the PPP Loans may be forgiven. In December 2020, the Pareteum PPP Loan was fully forgiven and in June 2021, the iPass PPP Loan was fully forgiven.

On June 8, 2020, the Company issued a $17.5 million Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Senior Convertible Note”) for $14.0 million, of which $10.0 million was maintained in one or more blocked accounts. The terms of the Senior Convertible Note and related documents require the Company to meet certain specified conditions and covenants to release the proceeds in the blocked accounts, some of which have not been satisfied. In July 2020, $3.0 million was released when the Company received additional funding through the sale of Redeemable Preferred Stock. On December 1, 2020, December 23, 2020, February 1, 2021, and March 1, 2021, we entered into various agreements (the “Forbearance Agreements”), under which: (i) we admitted that we were in default of several obligations under the Senior Convertible Note and related agreements, (ii) the lender acknowledged such defaults and agreed not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note or the related securities purchase agreement, warrant or security documents, including its right to accelerate the aggregate amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note, until the earlier of March 31, 2021 and the date of any new event of default or initiation of any action by the Company to invalidate any of the representations and warranties made in the Forbearance Agreements. As a result of the defaults, the interest rate paid on the principal outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note increased to 18.0% per annum. On December 23, 2020, $1.0 million was released to the Company from the blocked account and on April 8, 2021, the remaining $6.0 million in the blocked account was removed by the lender in partial satisfaction of the Senior Convertible Note.

7

On May 24, 2021, the Company entered into a new forbearance agreement (the “New Forbearance Agreement”) with the holder of the Senior Convertible Note under which (i) the Company again admitted it was in default as to several obligations under the Senior Convertible Note and related agreements, and (ii) the lender acknowledged such defaults and agreed not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note or the related securities purchase agreement, warrant or security documents, including its right to accelerate the aggregate amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note, until the earlier of May 31, 2021 or any later date to which such date may be extended (the “Outside Date”), and the date of any new event of default or initiation of any action by the Company to invalidate any of the representations and warranties made in the New Forbearance Agreement. The Outside Date automatically extends for successive two-week periods unless on or before the then-applicable Outside Date the lender provides notice that the Outside Date is not being extended.

As partial consideration for its agreement not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note and related documents, the lender and the Company agreed to make certain changes to the documents. In this regard, the parties agreed to amend the “Event of Default Acceleration Amount” definition in the Senior Convertible Note so that the amount due and payable by the Company on account of an event of default would be an amount in cash equal to 125% of the then-outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Senior Convertible Note. This represents an increase from 120% of the then-outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, and removes the market-price-based alternative for such acceleration amount.

Additionally, the parties also agreed that the principal amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note would be increased by certain paid-in-kind amounts in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to make payments of interest to the lender on each of April 1, 2021 and May 1, 2021, which amounts were not paid by the Company in cash or common stock. In consideration of the lender’s agreement to enter into the New Forbearance Agreement and agree to the amendments to the Senior Convertible Note, the Company agreed to pay the lender a fee in the amount of $1.5 million. Accordingly, following these increases in the principal amount payable, but applying against the outstanding principal and such fee the $6.0 million previously maintained in certain blocked account against that was foreclosed upon by the lender, the total amount of principal outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note as of the date of the New Forbearance Agreement was approximately $13.5 million.

On February 22, 2021, the Company issued a $2.4 million Senior Second Lien Secured Convertible Note due April 1, 2025 (the “Junior Convertible Note”) to an institutional investor for $2.0 million.

On April 29, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, dated as of April 13, 2021, with two initial investors and other investors as may become party thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Junior Convertible Note Purchasers”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of up to $6.0 million aggregate principal amount of Junior Convertible Notes and warrants (the “April 2021 Warrants”) to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock. The Junior Convertible Notes and accompanying April 2021 Warrants may be sold from time to time to one or more Junior Convertible Note Purchasers under the terms of the purchase agreement. On April 29, 2021, the Company closed on the initial sale of Junior Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.8 million and April 2021 Warrants to purchase 1,490,000 shares of common stock under the purchase agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million.

On June 19, 2021, the Company entered the Second Omnibus Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2021 (the "Omnibus Agreement"), with holders of the previously outstanding Junior Convertible Notes, and sold $17.3 million aggregate principal of Junior Convertible Notes for $5.0 million in cash and the surrender of 91.38 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock. In connection with the sale of these Junior Convertible Notes, the Company issued a warrant for the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.37 per share.

Because of the limited nature of the relief provided under the New Forbearance Agreement, which does not lower the amounts payable in principal or interest, the Company believes that it will not have sufficient resources to fund its operations and meet the obligations specified in the Senior Convertible Note or to fund its operations for the next twelve months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Report"). The Company’s software platforms require ongoing funding to continue the current development and operational plans and the Company has a history of net losses. The Company will continue to expend substantial resources for the foreseeable future in connection with the continued development of its software platforms. These expenditures will include costs associated with research and development activity, corporate administration, business development, and marketing and selling of the Company’s services. In addition, other unanticipated costs may arise. The Company believes that additional capital will be required to fund its operations and provide growth capital to meet the obligations under the Senior Convertible Note, the Junior Convertible Note, and the Redeemable Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Company will have to raise additional capital in one or more debt and/or equity offerings and continue to work with its lenders to cure the defaults. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the necessary capital or that any such offering will be available to the Company on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital and with acceptable terms, this would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Furthermore, the recent decline in the market price of the Company’s common stock, coupled with the stock’s delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market, could make it more difficult to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that the Company deems appropriate. The factors discussed above raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In finalizing the financial reporting close process for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company identified certain immaterial errors impacting prior reporting periods beginning as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Specifically, the

8

Company identified that it incorrectly translated the foreign currency impact on goodwill and intangible assets related to an acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of 2018.

The Company assessed the materiality of this correction to the prior period financial statements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250, Presentation of Financial Statements (“ASC 250”). In accordance with ASC 250, the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been revised from the amounts previously reported to correct these immaterial errors as shown in the tables below and are reflected throughout the financial statements and related notes, as applicable.

The cumulative effect of adjustments required to correct the immaterial errors in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and 2019 are reflected in the revised goodwill, intangible assets, net, accumulated other comprehensive income, and accumulated deficit balances as of December 31, 2018 and 2019 as follows:

	As of December 31, 2018
(In thousands)	As Reported		Adjustment		As Revised
Goodwill	$	101,375	$	(947)	$	100,428
Intangible assets, net	39,658		(394)		39,264

Note 2. Financial Statement Presentation and Recent Accounting Updates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of Pareteum and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. All intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing this report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020. These interim period unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021 (the “2019 Annual Report”).

For a complete summary of our significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 8 of our 2019 Annual Report.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

9

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and intangible assets acquired. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and those differences could be material.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net loss or net cash flows.

Accounting Standards Adopted in the Current Year

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance can be applied either prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment testing by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, versus determining an implied fair value in Step 2 to measure the impairment loss. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"), which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 adds, modifies, and removes previous disclosure requirements. Eliminated disclosures include items such as removing disclosures for the valuation process for Level 3 measurements, the policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, and changes in unrealized gains and losses included in earnings for recurring Level 3 measurements held at the reporting period. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020 and it had no effect on the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Codification Improvements – Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer ("ASU 2019-08"). Under this new guidance, share-based payment awards issued to a customer are recorded as a reduction of the transaction price in revenue with an amount measured under the grant-date fair value of the award. Changes in the measurement of the share-based payments after the grant date that are due to the form of the consideration are not included in the transaction price and are recorded elsewhere in the income statement. The award is measured and classified under ASC 718, Stock Compensation, for its entire term, unless the award is modified after it vests and the grantee is no longer a customer. ASU 2019-08 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2019-08 on January 1, 2020, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Recent Accounting Standards Updates Issued - Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. This would apply to companies meeting certain criteria that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the separation

10

models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. Upon adoption, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability at amortized cost unless (a) the convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"), or (b) the convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. These changes will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that was bifurcated according to previously existing rules. ASU 2020-06 also requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public entities excluding smaller reporting companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For public business entities that meet the definition of a smaller reporting company, the amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company meets the definition of a smaller reporting company and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company has entered into certain off–balance sheet commitments that require the future purchase of goods or services (“unconditional purchase obligations”). The Company entered into the Strategic Connectivity Agreement (the “Connectivity Agreement”) with Hutchison 3G UK Limited (“3UK”) on July 23, 2019. Under the Connectivity Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay 3UK $0.6 million dollars (the "Implementation Fee") for the implementation of a mobile virtual network operator

17

("MVNO" and specifically, the “3UK MVNO”), and for monthly services provided, based on usage, after the 3UK MVNO is launched, which management anticipates to be in the third quarter of 2021. On February 19, 2021, the Company and 3UK amended the Connectivity Agreement to eliminate some of the invoicing functionality of the 3UK MVNO, which will reduce the Implementation Fee to $0.4 million. The Implementation Fee is payable upon the satisfactory completion of certain agreed upon milestones. As of March 31, 2020, none of those milestones had been achieved, however, as of the date of this Report, two of the four milestones had been achieved.

Concurrent with the execution of the Connectivity Agreement, the Company entered into the Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Credit Voucher (the “Credit Voucher Agreement”) with PCCW Global Limited (“PCCW”) under which the Company is obligated to purchase a credit voucher for $27.6 million. The credit voucher will be used to offset certain monthly service charges incurred under the Connectivity Agreement. As of March 31, 2020, $0.1 million of the purchase price has been paid and $0.5 million of the purchase price has been recorded in accrued expenses and other payables in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $27.1 million unconditional purchase obligation is due and payable following the launch date of the 3UK MVNO, where after the Company is required to remit the amount of the credit voucher used to offset monthly charges incurred under the Connectivity Agreement to PCCW each quarter.

Should the aggregate of the monthly charges offset with the credit voucher from the Connectivity Agreement launch date through June 30, 2022 be less than $7.2 million, the Company is obligated to remit a make-up payment (the “2022 Make-up Payment”) for the difference between $7.2 million and the aggregate monthly charges offset with the credit voucher. Should the aggregate of the monthly charges offset with the credit voucher from the Connectivity Agreement launch date through June 30, 2023, plus any 2022 Make-up Payment, if applicable, be less than $12.7 million, the Company is obligated to remit a make-up payment (the “2023 Make-up Payment”) for the difference between $12.7 million and the aggregate monthly charges offset with the credit voucher, plus any 2022 Make-up Payment. Should the aggregate of the monthly charges offset with the credit voucher from the Connectivity Agreement launch date through June 30, 2024, plus any 2022 Make-up Payment and any 2023 Make-up Payment, if applicable, be less than $19.4 million, the Company is obligated to remit a make-up payment (the “2024 Make-up Payment”) for the difference between $19.4 million and the aggregate monthly charges offset with the credit voucher, plus the 2022 Make-up Payment and the 2023 Make-up Payment. Should the aggregate of the monthly charges offset with the credit voucher from the Connectivity Agreement launch date through June 30, 2025, plus any 2022 Make-up Payment and any 2023 Make-up Payment and any 2024 Make-up Payment, if applicable, be less than $27.1 million, the Company is obligated to remit a final make-up payment for the difference between $27.1 million and the aggregate monthly charges offset with the credit voucher, plus any 2022 Make-up Payment and any 2023 Make-up Payment and any 2024 Make-up Payment.

The following table presents the minimum amounts due under the Company’s unconditional purchase obligations as of March 31, 2020:

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and that have not been fully resolved. The outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts above management’s expectations, the Company’s financial condition and operating results for that period could be materially adversely affected.

The following actions were initiated or settled on or before March 31, 2020:

Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP. On May 5, 2017, the Company’s former legal counsel, Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, commenced litigation proceedings in New York alleging breach of contract and claiming $0.8 million in unpaid legal fees for January 2015 through November 2016. On June 29, 2017, the parties entered into a settlement agreement for the full $0.8 million with agreed-upon monthly installment payments through August 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, the amount outstanding on the settlement agreement is $0.1 million.

SEC Investigation. In August 2019 and February 2020, the SEC issued subpoenas requiring the Company to produce certain documents related to, among other things, the Company’s recognition of revenue, practices with certain customers, and internal accounting controls. The SEC staff has also interviewed and taken testimony from individuals previously employed by the Company in connection with the investigation. The Company is cooperating with the SEC staff in the SEC investigation and discussions with the SEC staff regarding a potential resolution of the investigation with respect to the Company are ongoing.

Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd. v. Pareteum Corp., et al., No. 19-cv-10460 (S.D.N.Y.)

Turner, Edward O’Donnell, Denis McCarthy, Victor Bozzo, Robert Lippert, Yves Van Sante, and Luis Jimenez Tunon (collectively, the “Defendants”), filed on November 11, 2019. Plaintiff Sabby alleges that the Defendants caused the Company to issue false or misleading statements in a Registration Statement filed with the SEC. Plaintiff Sabby claims that as a result of the alleged misconduct, the Defendants are liable for violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act, breaches of a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) entered into between Plaintiff Sabby and Pareteum, and contractual indemnification allegedly owed to Plaintiff Sabby under the SPA. Plaintiff Sabby seeks monetary damages and/or rescission of the SPA, and indemnification by Pareteum for any losses resulting from its alleged breach of the SPA, including costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Section 11 Action.

Artilium Africa, LLC et al. v. Artilium, PLC et al.; ICDR Case No. 01-19-0003-1680 and Artilium Africa, LLC and Tristar Africa Telecom, LLC v. Pareteum Corporation are related matters arising out of the same dispute. The former matter is an arbitration filed with the International Center for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) on October 1, 2019 alleging that Artilium Group Limited, a subsidiary of Pareteum Corporation formerly known as Artilium PLC (“Artilium”), breached an Operating Agreement relating to a joint venture called Artilium Africa formed by Artilium Green Globe Services LLC and Tristar Africa Telecom, LLC (“Tristar” and together with Artilium, the “Delaware Plaintiffs”) to provide mobile data, cloud, and telecommunications services throughout Africa. The Claimants in the ICDR arbitration are seeking $30.0 million. The latter matter is a civil case filed on October 10, 2019 in the Delaware District Court. The Delaware Plaintiffs allege that Pareteum tortuously interfered with Tristar’s contract with Artilium in order to enter into the same type of agreement with Artilium. The Plaintiffs are seeking $0.2 million in damages. On December 17, 2020, the Delaware District Court stayed the action and compelled the Delaware Plaintiffs to pursue their claims against Pareteum in the ICDR arbitration.

The Lead Plaintiff seeks to recover compensatory damages with interest for itself and the other class members for all damages sustained as a result of Defendants’ alleged wrongdoing and reasonable costs and attorney’s fees incurred in the case.

Unclaimed Property Compliance

The Company has received notices from several states stating that they have appointed an agent to conduct an examination of the books and records of the Company to determine whether it has complied with state unclaimed property laws. In addition to seeking the turnover of unclaimed property subject to escheat laws, the states may seek interest, penalties, costs of examinations, and other relief. If the potential loss from any payment claim is considered probable and the amount or the range of the loss can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. To date, the Company is not able to estimate the possible payment, if any, due to the early state of this matter.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Report and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the consolidated financial statements except for the transactions described below.

Senior Convertible Note

On June 8, 2020, the Company issued a $17.5 million Senior Convertible Note due April 1, 2025 to High Trail Investments SA LLC (“High Trail”) for $14.0 million (the "Proceeds"). The Company received $4.0 million of the Proceeds for working capital and the remaining $10.0 million was deposited into a blocked bank account based on terms of a Control Agreement, and incurred approximately $0.5 million of legal fees. Under the terms of the Control Agreement, the Company can access the funds from the blocked account as follows:

•$3.0 million when the Company received $4.0 million in additional financing. The Company received the additional financing in July 2020 and the funds were released to the Company to be used for working capital purposes; and

•On or prior to October 31, 2020, $7.0 million when the Company meets certain specified conditions (the “Specified Conditions”) as of any date and on each of the 20 previous trading days prior to such date as follows:

◦The Company can issue shares of its common stock upon conversion that are not subject to restrictions on resale;

◦Upon conversion, High Trail will not beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock;

◦At all times, the Company will have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of its common stock available for the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Convertible Note plus accrued interest;

◦The daily dollar trading volume of the Company’s common stock for at least 17 of the prior 20 trading days is not less than $0.8 million (as reported on Bloomberg);

◦The Company has obtained the requisite stockholder approval required by the Nasdaq Capital Market for the issuance of the shares of its common stock upon conversion;

21

◦The average daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock is not less than $0.85; and

◦There are no defaults or events of default that have occurred or are continuing.

The Secured Convertible Note contains customary events of default, as well as events of default if the Company fails to use reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of its stockholders for the issuance of the shares issuable upon conversion by October 31, 2020, the Company’s common stock ceases to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or the Company fails to restate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, in each case, prior to October 31, 2020 or fails to timely file its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or its subsequent annual reports on Form 10-K with the SEC in the manner and within the time periods required by the Exchange Act. As a result of, among other things, the Company’s common stock no longer being traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company failing to restate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, in each case, prior to October 31, 2020, and its failure to timely file its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or its subsequent annual reports on Form 10-K with the SEC in the manner and within the time periods required by the Exchange Act, the Company is currently in default.

The Senior Convertible Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, including any portion constituting an optional redemption payment amount, at High Trail’s election. The conversion rate is equal to 1,666.667 shares of the Company’s common stock for every $1,000 of Senior Convertible Note principal outstanding, or $0.60 per share.

The Senior Convertible Note is secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and substantially all of the assets of its material domestic subsidiaries and the assets of Pareteum Europe BV, a subsidiary organized in the Netherlands. In addition, the Senior Convertible Note contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness, equity securities, liens, dividends, distributions, acquisitions, investments, sale or transfer of assets, transactions with affiliates and maintenance of certain financial ratios.

In connection with Senior Convertible Note, the Company granted a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of its common stock to High Trail at an exercise price of $0.58 per share expiring on June 8, 2025. Under the Forbearance Agreements, the exercise price of the warrant was reduced to $0.37 per share.

On November 30, 2020, the Company and High Trail entered into the Forbearance Agreement. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, High Trail agreed to forebear from exercising certain rights and remedies. High Trail agreed that it would not, directly or indirectly, exercise any right or remedy under any transaction document or take any other enforcement action in respect of the occurrence and continuance of any existing event of default (as explained above), or encourage any other person to take or initiate any such enforcement action or other action through the forbearance termination date as defined as: (a) December 31, 2020 (subsequently extended through March 31, 2021); (b) the occurrence of any event of default (other than an existing event of default); and (c) the initiation of any action by the Company or any other person to invalidate or limit the enforceability of any of the acknowledgments set forth in the Forbearance Agreement.

As a condition of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company and High Trail agreed that if the Company elects the option to pay either the optional redemption payment or the stated interest in shares of its common stock, the Market Stock Payment Price was amended to remove the floor price of $0.10, such that the price would be: an amount equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock during the 10 trading days immediately prior to such interest payment date or optional redemption stock payment date.

In addition, the event of default conversion price was changed to the lesser of (A) the conversion price that would be in effect immediately after the close of business on the conversion date for such conversion as defined in the Senior Convertible Note, and (B) 75% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, such conversion date (or, if such conversion date is not a trading day, the immediately preceding trading day).

On December 23, 2020, High Trail agreed to release to the Company for working capital purposes $1.0 million of the $7.0 million that was required to be held in the blocked bank account under the terms of a Control Agreement until the Specified Conditions were met by October 31, 2020 even though the Specified Conditions were not met. In consideration for High Trail agreeing to release the $1.0 million, the Company increased the initial conversion rate to 2,702.702 from 1,666.667 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Convertible Note, which resulted in a decrease to the conversion price per share to $0.37 from $0.60.

Subsequently, High Trail agreed to extend the forbearance termination date to March 31, 2021. On April 8, 2021, High Trail provided notice to the Company that it was causing $6.0 million of the purchase price maintained in the blocked account to be transferred to High Trail in partial satisfaction of the amounts outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note.

On May 24, 2021, the Company entered into the New Forbearance Agreement with the holder of the Senior Convertible Note under which (i) the Company again admitted it was in default under several obligations under the Senior Convertible Note and related agreements, and (ii) the lender acknowledged such defaults and agreed not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note or the related securities purchase agreement, warrant or security documents, including its right to accelerate the aggregate amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note, until the Outside Date, as the same may be extended from time to time under the terms of the New Forbearance Agreement.

22

As partial consideration for its agreement not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note and related documents, the lender and the Company agreed to make certain changes to the documents. In this regard, the parties agreed to amend the “Event of Default Acceleration Amount” definition in the Senior Convertible Note so that the amount due and payable by the Company on account of an event of default would be an amount in cash equal to 125% of the then-outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Senior Convertible Note. This represents an increase from 120% of the then-outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, and removes the market-price-based alternative for such acceleration amount.

Additionally, the parties also agreed that the principal amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note would be increased by certain paid-in-kind amounts in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to make payments of interest to the lender on each of April 1, 2021 and May 1, 2021, which amounts were not paid by the Company in cash or Common Stock. In consideration of the lender’s agreement to enter into the New Forbearance Agreement and agree to the amendments to the Senior Convertible Note, the Company agreed to pay the lender a fee in the amount of $1.5 million. Accordingly, following these increases in the principal amount payable, but applying against the outstanding principal and such fee the $6.0 million previously maintained in certain blocked account against that was foreclosed upon by the lender, the total amount of principal outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note as of the date of the New Forbearance Agreement was approximately $13.5 million.

On June 19, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Senior Convertible Note under which the Company will increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes, such that the Company is required to reserve the greater of i) 230,000,000 shares or ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) 200% of the principal amount outstanding, plus all accrued and unpaid interest by (B) 85% of the recent trading price of the Company's common stock.

Junior Convertible Notes

On February 22, 2021, the Company issued the $2.4 million Junior Convertible Note due April 1, 2025 for $2.0 million. The Junior Convertible Note is a senior, secured obligation of the Company, but ranks junior to the Secured Convertible Note. Interest is payable monthly beginning April 1, 2021 at a rate of 8.0% per annum. The Junior Convertible Note is secured by a second lien on substantially all of the Company's assets and substantially all of the assets of its material domestic subsidiaries. Interest may be paid, at the election of the Company, in cash or in shares of common stock of the Company; provided, that, so long as the Senior Convertible Note remains outstanding, such payments may only be made in shares. The number of shares of common stock to be issued to pay interest in shares of the Company’s common stock is determined by the application of a formula in which the amount of the interest due is divided by 85% of the lowest volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock on the principal market for the Company’s common stock over the 10 days preceding the date of such payment.

Subject to an intercreditor agreement with the holder of the Senior Convertible Note, the Company may elect to redeem all or a portion of the then-outstanding principal amount outstanding under the Junior Convertible Note. The holder of such Junior Convertible Note or the Company may also elect for the Company to redeem the Junior Convertible Note at a 20% premium if the Company undergoes a fundamental change. The Junior Convertible Note is convertible into the Company's common stock, in part or in whole, from time to time, at the election of the Purchaser. The conversion rate is equal to 1,666.667 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 of principal amount of the Junior Convertible Note, or $0.60 per share. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments in the event the Company issues stock dividends or effects a split or reverse split of the Company’s common stock.

In connection with the Junior Convertible Note, certain Series B warrants previously issued to this institutional investor for the purchase of up to 258,523 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.84 per share were cancelled; such warrants had been issued on September 24, 2019 in connection with the financing described in Note 6. Stockholders' Equity, and the Company granted a warrant to purchase 2,750,000 shares of its common stock to the purchaser at an exercise price of $0.40 per share expiring on February 22, 2026. The warrants are exercisable any time after February 22, 2021.

On April 29, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, dated as of April 13, 2021 (the “Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement”), with two initial investors and other investors as may become party thereto from time to time (a "Note Purchaser" and collectively, the “Note Purchasers”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of up to $6.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional Junior Convertible Notes and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.40. Under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement, a Note Purchaser will be issued Warrants equal to 83.33333333% of the principal amount of Junior Convertible Notes acquired. The additional Junior Convertible Notes and accompanying Warrants may be sold from time to time to one or more Note Purchasers under the terms of the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement. On April 29, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of additional Junior Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.8 million and Warrants to purchase 1,490,000 shares of common stock under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million.

On June 19, 2021, the Company entered into the Omnibus Agreement, with holders of its previously outstanding Junior Convertible Notes; issued three new Junior Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $17.3 million for a purchase price of $5.0 million in cash and the surrender of 91.38 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock; and issued a new warrant to one of the Junior Convertible Note purchasers for the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.37 per share.

23

The Omnibus Agreement amended the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement and previously outstanding Junior Convertible Notes and, among other changes:

•Increased the aggregate principal amount of Junior Convertible Notes issuable under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement from $6.0 million to $24.0 million (plus the accrued in-kind interest that is subsequently added to the principal amount outstanding from time to time);

•Increased the aggregate number of shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock issuable under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement from 5,000,000 shares to 11,625,000 shares;

•Added additional negative covenants that restrict the Company from selling any additional securities under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement to any new investors and from redeeming all or any portion of any Junior Convertible Notes unless the holders receive the stated premium;

•Changed the conversion rate from 1,666.667 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of Junior Convertible Notes converted to 2,702.702 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal converted;

•Provides for accrued interest to be paid in-kind by adding such amounts to the outstanding principal balance, rather than paying such amounts in cash or the issuance of shares of common stock;

•Revised the interest rate to 18% until the first interest payment date following the date on which the Company has filed all required periodic reports under the Exchange Act; and

•Added a provision that at the request of holders of a majority of the outstanding Junior Convertible Notes and warrants issued under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement, the maturity date will be extended to October 1, 2027 from October 1, 2025.

8% Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock

On various dates from April 28, 2020 through August 18, 2020, the Company issued 67.34 shares Redeemable Preferred Stock with a stated value of $6.7 million for an aggregate purchase price of $4.9 million, from which the Company received net proceeds of $4.6 million after deducting legal fees of $0.2 million. By their terms, those shares are not convertible into other securities of the Company. However, on various dates from July 17, 2020 through October 1, 2020, the Company entered into exchange agreements with the holders of those 67.34 shares, which allows either the Company or the holders to exchange such shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock for shares of the Company's common stock, with the exchange ratio determined by a formula set forth in such exchange agreements. In connection with the Company’s entry into the Omnibus Agreement, the holders of 91.38 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock surrendered such shares to the Company as consideration for new Junior Convertible Notes.

Warrant Extension

On April 24, 2021, the Company effected a waiver of the expiration date of its then remaining outstanding Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,105,113 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company had originally issued the Series B Warrants on September 24, 2019 for the purchase of up to 11,363,636 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.84 per share through March 24, 2021. On February 22, 2021, Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate 258,523 shares of common stock were cancelled in connection with the February 22, 2021 issuance of Junior Convertible Notes described above. On March 22, 2021 and then on April 24, 2021, the Company extended the expiration dates of the remaining outstanding Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,105,113 shares of the Company’s common stock that had the effect of extending the expiration date through June 30, 2021. The Series B Warrants subsequently expired on June 30, 2021.

PPP Loans

In May 2020, Pareteum received a $0.6 million PPP loan and iPass received an $0.8 million PPP loan under the CARES Act. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company was notified that the Pareteum PPP Loan was entirely forgiven, and in June of 2021, that the iPass PPP Loan was entirely forgiven.

Delisting of the Company’s Common Stock

On November 5, 2020, the Company notified the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Hearings Panel") that it would not be able to file this Report, its amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2018, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 or its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 by November 9, 2020, the date by which the Hearings Panel had required the Company to make such filings in order for the Company’s common stock to remain listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. In response to the Company’s notice to Hearings Panel that it would not satisfy the conditions to the exception to the listing requirements granted, Hearings Panel notified the Company by letter dated November 10, 2020 that the Company’s common stock would be delisted, and trading of its common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market was suspended effective at the open of business on November 12, 2020. After the trading of the Company’s common stock was suspended by Nasdaq, prices for the Company’s common stock began to be quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc.’s Pink Open Market.

Asset Disposition

24

In August 2020, the Company entered into an asset transfer agreement and a software license agreement with a data communications provider (the "Asset Purchaser"), pursuant to which the Asset Purchaser agreed to purchase certain property and equipment and a software license related to a Mobile Virtual Network Enabler solution for total cash consideration of $12.3 million. The Asset Purchaser paid $4.7 million in August 2020 and the remainder in December 2020 upon the completion of the transfer to the Asset Purchaser. The Company recorded a gain on sale of assets of $10.8 million for the difference between the consideration received and the carrying value of the property and equipment and the software license.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the other financial information included elsewhere in this Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and are fundamental to understanding our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and this MD&A. Several of our policies are critical as they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and costs included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Circumstances and events that differ significantly from those

27

underlying our estimates, assumptions and judgments could cause the actual amounts reported to differ significantly from these estimates.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the estimates and assumptions used in these policies based on historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities as of future balance sheet dates and our results of operations in future reporting periods.

Management has evaluated the Company's critical accounting policies and the following areas represent its critical accounting policies as of March 31, 2020, and are described below:

•Revenue recognition and net billing in excess of revenues;

•Allowance for doubtful accounts;

•Income taxes;

•Share-based compensation;

•Warrant and embedded derivative liabilities;

•Business combinations;

•Goodwill and intangible assets impairment; and

•Contingent losses.

Revenue Recognition and Net Billings in Excess of Revenues

Revenue represents amounts earned for (non-software) arrangements consisting of hosting subscriptions for our CPaaS solutions. We also offer customer support and professional services related to implementing and supporting our suite of applications. Revenues generally are recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Monthly Service Revenues

The Company’s performance obligations in monthly Software as a Service (SaaS) and service offerings are simultaneously received and consumed by the customer and therefore are recognized over time. For recognition purposes, we do not unbundle such services into separate performance obligations. The Company typically bills its customer at the end of each month, with payment to be received shortly thereafter. The fees charged may include a combination of fixed and variable charges with the variable charges tied to the number of subscribers or some other measure of volume. Although the consideration may be variable, the volumes are estimable at the time of billing, with “true-up” adjustments occurring in the subsequent month. Such amounts have not been historically significant.

Installation and Software Development Revenues

The Company’s other revenues consist generally of installation and software development projects.

Installation represents the activities necessary for a customer to obtain access and connectivity to the Company’s monthly SaaS and service offerings. While installation may require separate phases, it represents one promise within the context of the contract.

Software development consists of programming and other services which adds new functionality to a customer’s existing or new service offerings. Each development project defines its milestones and will have its own performance obligation.

Revenue is recognized over time if the installation and software development activities create an asset that has no alternative use for which the Company is entitled to receive payment for performance completed to date. If not, then revenue is not recognized until the applicable performance obligation is satisfied.

Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations

The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers.

Contract assets and liabilities

Given the nature of the Company’s services and contracts, it has no contract assets. The Company records net billings in excess of revenues when payments are made in advance of our performance, including amounts which are refundable.

Payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain products or services and customer types, payment is required before control is transferred or services are delivered to the customer.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We record an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts in an amount approximating anticipated losses. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers. An allowance is recorded on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance and current economic conditions. Individual uncollectible accounts are written off against the allowance when collection of the individual accounts appears doubtful.

Income Taxes

28

We estimate our income taxes separately for each tax jurisdiction in which we conduct operations. The provision for federal, state, foreign and local income taxes is calculated on income before income taxes based on current tax law and includes the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such provision differs from the amounts currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different reporting periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes.

We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In determining the net deferred tax assets and valuation allowances, we are required to make judgments and estimates in assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. If we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount or would no longer be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future as currently recorded, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would decrease or increase the provision for income taxes.

Share-based Compensation

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees, directors and non-employees to be recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss by measuring the fair value of the award on the date of grant and recognizing this fair value as expense using a straight-line method over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and, if necessary, revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company estimates the grant date fair value of stock-based payments that vest over time using the Black-Scholes option- pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option- pricing model requires management to make certain assumptions and estimates that impact the valuation of stock-based payments.

Warrant and Embedded Derivative Liabilities

Warrant and embedded derivative liabilities are remeasured at fair value each reporting period in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). The Company utilizes the Monte Carlo valuation model to determine the value of the outstanding warrants and the conversion feature in the convertible notes. Since the Monte Carlo valuation model requires special software and expertise to model the assumptions to be used, the Company uses a third-party valuation expert to fair value these liabilities.

Business Combinations

We generally recognize the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interests in an acquiree at their fair values as of the date of acquisition, under the acquisition method of accounting. We measure goodwill as the excess of consideration transferred, which we also measure at fair value, over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition method of accounting requires us to exercise judgment and make significant estimates and assumptions regarding the fair values of the elements of a business combination as of the date of acquisition, including the fair values of identifiable intangible assets, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, liabilities related to uncertain tax positions, and contingencies. This method also requires us to refine these estimates over a one-year measurement period to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. If we are required to retroactively adjust provisional amounts that we have recorded for the fair value of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions, these adjustments could materially change our operating income and net income and result in different asset values on our balance sheet.

Significant estimates and assumptions that we must make in estimating the fair value of acquired technology, customer lists, and other identifiable intangible assets include future cash flows that we expect to generate from the acquired assets. If the subsequent actual results and updated projections of the underlying business activity change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop these values, we could record impairment charges. In addition, we have estimated the economic lives of certain acquired assets and these lives are used to calculate depreciation and amortization expense. If our estimates of the economic lives change, depreciation or amortization expenses could be accelerated or slowed.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Impairment

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment. We operate in one reportable segment.

We test for an indication of goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year, or sooner, when indicators of impairment exist, by comparing the fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying value. If there is an indication of impairment, we perform a “step two” test to measure the impairment. Impairments, if any, are recorded to the statement of operations in the period the impairment is recognized.

A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators include a sustained and significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization, a decline in our expected future cash flows, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate and unanticipated competition.

29

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”), finite-lived intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment charges. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, between three and ten years. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on the amount of the carrying value that exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Contingent Losses

From time to time, during the normal course of operations, we are party to litigation and regulatory matters, claims and other contingent matters. Litigation and regulatory reviews can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex proceedings and reviews are difficult to predict and our view of these matters may change in the future as events related thereto unfold. We expense legal fees as incurred. We record a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount or range of the loss can be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable outcome to any legal or regulatory matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

Revenue

Revenue represents amounts earned from our mobile and CPaaS solutions. Our solutions take many forms, but our revenue generally consists of fixed and/or variable charges for services delivered monthly under a combined services and SaaS model. We also offer discrete (one-time) services for implementation and for development of specific functionality requested by our customers.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $20.1 million and $13.1 million, respectively. The $7.0 million, or 53.5%, increase is primarily due to strong volume growth in mobility and SMS services and acquisition revenue, partially offset by a decline in mobile connectivity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes origination, termination, network and billing charges from telecommunications operators, costs of telecommunications service providers, network costs, data center costs, facility costs of hosting network and equipment, costs in providing resale arrangements with long distance service providers, costs of leasing transmission facilities, international gateway switches for voice, and data transmission services, and the cost of professional services of staff directly related to the generation of revenues, consisting primarily of employee-related costs associated with these services, including costs of subcontractors and share-based compensation. Cost of revenue excludes depreciation and amortization.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $14.4 million and $8.0 million, respectively. The $6.4 million, or 79.5%, increase is primarily driven by the increase in revenue.

Product Development

Product development costs consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, including share-based compensation, of employees involved in the development of the Company’s services, which are expensed as incurred. Costs such as database architecture and Pareteum business operating system and intelligent network platform development and testing are also included in this function.

Product development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $3.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The $0.4 million, or 17.2%, increase is primarily due to reduced capitalizable costs and increased share-based compensation expenses, partially offset by a decrease in personnel and related costs in 2020.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses of our sales and marketing staff, including commissions, payments to partners, marketing programs, and share-based compensation. Marketing programs consist of advertising, events, corporate communications, and brand building.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $1.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The $1.0 million, or 34.6%, decrease is primarily due to a decrease in personnel and related costs from lower headcount in 2020 and a reduction in travel expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of overhead-related salaries and expenses, including share-based compensation, for nonemployee directors, finance and accounting, legal, internal audit, and human resources personnel, legal costs, professional fees and other corporate expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $7.0 million and $7.9 million, respectively. The $0.9 million, or 11.1%, decrease is primarily due to the absence in 2020 of employee severance costs related to the iPass acquisition, partially offset by an increase in legal and consulting expenses associated with the restatement of our fiscal 2018 financial statements.

Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs represent incremental costs incurred in acquisitions.

Acquisition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were zero and $3.3 million, respectively. The $3.3 million decrease is due to the acquisition costs related to the iPass acquisition recognized in 2019.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation and amortization of property, equipment, and software development, and amortization of intangible assets.

31

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization of property, equipment, and software development for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Nonoperating Expenses, Net

The following table provides details of nonoperating expenses and income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2020		2019
Nonoperating expense (income), net
Interest expense, net	1,828		569
Loss on extinguishment of debt	—		1,000
Other expense (income), net	(1,303)		47
Total nonoperating expense, net	$	525	$	1,616

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The $1.3 million, or 221.3%, increase is primarily due to higher indebtedness and higher amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts. Noncash interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In February 2019, we prepaid, in full, the loans payable to Fortress Credit Corp. assumed in the iPass acquisition and recognized a $1.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt from a prepayment penalty.

Other Expense (Income), Net

Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1.3 million primarily related to $0.8 million of forgiven iPass accounts payable and $0.3 million related to the termination of leases.

Income Tax Benefit

At the end of each reporting period, we estimate our annual effective consolidated income tax rate. The estimate used for the period ended March 31, 2020 may change in subsequent periods. Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

We record foreign currency translation gains and losses related to the translation adjustments of accounts denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, as other comprehensive income or loss, which for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were losses of zero and $3.2 million, respectively.

32

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary capital needs are for working capital obligations, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes. We assess liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating activities. Factors that could materially impact our liquidity include cash flows generated from operating activities, and our ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms, whether through debt or equity offerings.

Since March 31, 2020, we received net proceeds of $22.6 million as a result of the following debt offerings:

•Redeemable Preferred Stock – Net proceeds of $4.7 million from April to August 2020

•PPP Loans – Net proceeds of $1.4 million in May 2020

•Senior Convertible Note – Net proceeds of $4.0 million in June 2020, $3.0 million in July 2020, and $1.0 million in December 2020

•Junior Convertible Notes – Net proceeds of $2.0 million in February 2021, $1.5 million in April 2021, and $5.0 million in May 2021

As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we reported a net loss of $9.4 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and had an accumulated deficit of $548.9 million as of March 31, 2020. As reflected in our 2019 Annual Report, we reported a net loss of $222.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, which included a $156.8 million noncash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge. As of March 31, 2020, our cash balances, including $1.0 million of restricted cash, were $4.6 million.

We believe that we will not have sufficient resources to fund our operations and meet our obligations for the twelve months following the filing of this Report. Our software platforms require ongoing funding to continue the current development and operational plans and we will continue to expend substantial resources for the foreseeable future in connection with the continued development of our software platforms. These expenditures will include costs associated with research and development activity, corporate administration, business development, and marketing and selling of our services. In addition, other unanticipated costs may arise.

As a result, we believe that additional capital will be required to fund our operations and provide growth capital to meet our obligations. Accordingly, we will have to raise additional capital in one or more debt and/or equity offerings. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in raising the necessary capital or that any such offering will be available to us on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital that may be needed, this would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Furthermore, the recent decline in the market price of our common stock, coupled with the stock’s delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market, could make it more difficult to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. The factors discussed above raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that this Report is issued.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has entered into certain off–balance sheet commitments that require the future purchase of goods or services (“unconditional purchase obligations”). The Company entered into the Connectivity Agreement with 3UK on July 23, 2019. Under the Connectivity Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay 3UK $0.6 million dollars for the implementation of the 3UK MVNO, and for monthly services provided, based on usage, after the 3UK MVNO is launched, which management anticipates to be in the third quarter of 2021. On February 19, 2021, the Company and 3UK amended the Connectivity Agreement to eliminate some of the invoicing functionality of the 3UK MVNO, which reduces the Implementation Fee to $0.4 million. The Implementation Fee is payable upon the satisfactory completion of certain agreed upon milestones. As of March 31, 2020, none of those milestones had been achieved.

Concurrent with the execution of the Connectivity Agreement, the Company entered into the Credit Voucher Agreement with PCCW under which the Company is obligated to purchase a credit voucher for $27.6 million. The credit voucher will be used to offset certain monthly service charges incurred under the Connectivity Agreement. As of March 31, 2020, $0.5 million of the purchase price has been recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $27.1 million unconditional purchase obligation is due and payable following the launch date of the 3UK MVNO, whereafter the Company is required to remit the amount of the credit voucher used to offset monthly charges incurred under the Connectivity Agreement to PCCW each quarter.

See Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information about these off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Regulation S-K and, as such, are not required to provide the information contained in this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2020, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that, in light of the previously disclosed material weaknesses described below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We previously identified and disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report material weaknesses related to:

•Inadequate and ineffective management assessment of internal control over financial reporting, including insufficient experienced resources to complete the documentation of internal control assessment;

34

•Ineffective design, implementation and monitoring of information technology general controls pertaining to the Company’s change management process;

•Entity-level controls were not effective due to certain executive management “tone at the top” issues which contributed to an ineffective control environment and to deficiencies aggregating to material weaknesses;

•The Company not having sufficient accounting and finance department resources to effectively assess risk and design, operate and oversee effective internal controls over financial reporting, which contributed to the failure in the effectiveness and adequate identification of certain controls including:

◦application of appropriate revenue recognition standards;

◦proper accounting of share-based compensation;

◦appropriate settlement of payables via issuance of shares;

◦complete and appropriate application of foreign currency translations;

◦identification and accounting of operating leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases; and

◦method of accounting for acquisitions and business combinations.

The Company has taken and will continue to take significant and comprehensive remedial actions to begin to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Remediation actions already implemented include (i) a thorough review and documentation of all processes involved in our financial reporting to ensure that there is segregation of duties, and (ii) access security and documented review processes in place that happen at appropriate intervals throughout the year that covers all elements of the Company’s financial reporting. This includes, but is not limited to, testing samples and documenting that testing has occurred with the results of the findings being reported to senior management and that they occur at appropriate intervals and continuously making improvements to our processes as necessary.

To address ineffective design, implementation and monitoring of information technology general controls pertaining to the Company’s change management process, the Company has (i) removed all live access to all developers, internal and external, that previously enabled them to make coding changes directly in our reporting system; (ii) continued to monitor and document all changes made in our reporting system and added additional layers of documented review of these changes; (iii) instituted monitoring controls and sample testing on our reporting system to ensure the documented policies are being followed and the results of these tests are being reported to senior management at regular appropriate intervals; and (iv) enhanced our quarterly reporting on the remediation measures to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Management believes the Company has taken significant steps towards the remediation of the identified material weaknesses, as of March 31, 2020.

To address inadequate and ineffective management assessment of internal control over financial reporting, we are also continuing to develop additional remediation steps to address this material weakness.

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and believe that these remediation actions will represent significant improvements in our controls. However, the identified material weaknesses described above will not be considered remediated until controls have been designed and/or controls are in operation for a sufficient period of time for our management to conclude that the material weaknesses have been remediated. Additional remediation measures may be required, which may require additional implementation time. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our remediation efforts in connection with our evaluations of internal control over financial reporting.

Additionally, to ensure the Company maintains a strong internal control environment and to remediate the additional material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting identified in this Report, the Company: (xi) has ceased the employment of personnel responsible for the revenue restatement and oversight of accounting and finance operations; (xii) is designing and implementing enhancements to internal controls over financial reporting including those related to sales processing, revenue recognition and equity accounting; (xiii) has implemented a periodic review of financial reports and month-over-month balances with the purpose of identifying and investigating fluctuations and discrepancies in key accounts and transactions; (xiv) will provide training to its finance and sales staff and key personnel on the appropriate guidelines to account for revenue in the telecom industry and emphasizing the importance of adherence to policies and procedures; (xv) is implementing a new application to manage equity; and (xvi) engaged outside resources and hired in-house controls personnel to monitor and assess internal controls over financial reporting.

We believe that these actions will remediate the material weaknesses. While we have taken measures to strengthen our internal controls related to these additional material weaknesses, we have not fully completed our assessment. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

As our management continues to evaluate and work to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address these deficiencies or determine to modify certain of the remediation measures described above.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As of the date of the filing of this Report, Pareteum and its subsidiaries are currently defendants in various legal actions and asserted claims arising in the normal course of business. We anticipate that we will become involved in new litigation matters from time to time in the future. We will incur legal and related costs concerning litigation and may, from time to time, determine to settle some or all of the cases, regardless of the assessment of our legal position. The amount of legal defense costs and settlements in any period will depend on many factors, including the status of cases, the number of cases that are in trial or about to be brought to trial, and the opposing parties’ aggressiveness in pursuing their cases and their perception of their legal position. For information concerning material litigation actions and proceedings against the Company, see Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the Risk Factors included in Part I, Item 1A. — “Risk Factors” of our 2019 Annual Report; and in our 2020 Annual Report. These risk factors could materially impact our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Other than as set forth below or as previously disclosed in our filings with the SEC, we did not sell any equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act. The issuance of securities in the transactions described below were each exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 10,000 shares of its common stock in an unregistered transaction in connection with the receipt of certain investor relations advisory services. The Company determined the issuance of these shares to be exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving a public offering. The shares are deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities.

As previously disclosed, upon its entry into each of the Forbearance Agreement on November 30, 2020 (as subsequently amended) and the New Forbearance Agreement on May 24, 2021, the Company admitted that it was in default of several obligations under the Senior Convertible Note and the related securities purchase agreement, including as a result of:

a.the Company’s failure to have caused either (i) the conversion or exchange of all shares of the Redeemable Preferred Stock into shares of the common stock or (ii) the extension of any mandatory redemption date, final maturity date or other applicable repurchase obligation with respect to such Redeemable Preferred Stock by the October 1, 2020 deadline required under the Senior Convertible Note;

b.the Company’s failure to have obtained the approval of its stockholders of the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Senior Convertible Note and the related warrant by October 31, 2020, as required by the Senior Convertible Note and the related securities purchase agreement;

c.the Company’s failure to have timely filed all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, as required by the Senior Convertible Note and the related securities purchase agreement;

d.the suspension from trading and failure of the common stock to be listed for trading on an eligible national securities exchange for a period of three consecutive trading days, as prohibited by the Senior Convertible Note;

e.the Company’s failure to have filed restated financial statements with the SEC for (A) the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, (B) the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and (C) the quarter ended June 30, 2019, in each case on or prior to the October 31, 2020 deadline under the Senior Convertible Note;

f.the Company’s failure to have provided notice of the above and other events of default under the Senior Convertible Note and the related warrant and securities purchase agreement; and

g.the Company’s failure to have maintained the minimum liquidity required by the Senior Convertible Note since the lender’s foreclosure on $6.0 million previously maintained in a blocked account.

In addition, the Company had not made required payments of interest under the Senior Convertible Note of (i) $0.3 million on April 1, 2021 or (ii) $0.2 million on May 1, 2021. Under the New Forbearance Agreement, the lender acknowledged such defaults and agreed not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note or the related securities purchase agreement, warrant or security documents, including its right to accelerate the aggregate amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note, until the Outside Date, as the same is extended from time to time under the terms of the New Forbearance Agreement.

Additionally, the parties also agreed that the principal amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note would be increased by certain paid-in-kind amounts in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to make payments of interest to the lender on each of April 1, 2021 and May 1, 2021, which amounts were not paid by the Company in cash or common stock. In consideration of the

36

lender’s agreement to enter into the New Forbearance Agreement and agree to certain amendments to the Senior Convertible Note, the Company agreed to pay the lender a fee in the amount of $1.5 million. Accordingly, following these increases in the principal amount payable, but applying against the outstanding principal and such fee the $6.0 million previously maintained in certain blocked account against that was foreclosed upon by the lender, the total amount of principal outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note as of the date of the New Forbearance Agreement was approximately $13.5 million. As of the date of this Report, the total amount of principal outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note is approximately $13.8 million.

Liquidity

As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company reported net losses of $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $222.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The 2019 net loss included goodwill and intangible asset impairment of $156.8 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $548.9 million and cash balances available for operations of $3.7 million.

On December 10, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors designated 255 shares of preferred stock to be 8.0% Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Redeemable Preferred Stock") with a stated value of $100,000 per share. On various dates from December 24, 2019 through August 18, 2020, the Company issued 217.67 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock in private placement transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with a stated value of $21.8 million for an aggregate purchase price of $13.9 million, from which the Company received net proceeds of $13.1 million after deducting legal fees of $0.8 million.

In May 2020, Pareteum received a $0.6 million Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan (the "Pareteum PPP Loan") and iPass received an $0.8 million PPP loan (the "iPass PPP Loan" and together with the Pareteum PPP Loan, the "PPP Loans") under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act. The PPP Loans provide for a balloon payment of the outstanding principal balance at maturity, which is two years from the funding date, and bear interest at 1.0%, however, under the CARES Act, all or a portion of the PPP Loans may be forgiven. In December 2020, the Pareteum PPP Loan was fully forgiven and in June 2021, the iPass PPP Loan was fully forgiven.

On June 8, 2020, the Company issued a $17.5 million Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Senior Convertible Note”) for $14.0 million, of which $10.0 million was maintained in one or more blocked accounts. The terms of the Senior Convertible Note and related documents require the Company to meet certain specified conditions and covenants to release the proceeds in the blocked accounts, some of which have not been satisfied. In July 2020, $3.0 million was released when the Company received additional funding through the sale of Redeemable Preferred Stock. On December 1, 2020, December 23, 2020, February 1, 2021, and March 1, 2021, we entered into various agreements (the “Forbearance Agreements”), under which: (i) we admitted that we were in default of several obligations under the Senior Convertible Note and related agreements, (ii) the lender acknowledged such defaults and agreed not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note or the related securities purchase agreement, warrant or security documents, including its right to accelerate the aggregate amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note, until the earlier of March 31, 2021 and the date of any new event of default or initiation of any action by the Company to invalidate any of the representations and warranties made in the Forbearance Agreements. As a result of the defaults, the interest rate paid on the principal outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note increased to 18.0% per annum. On December 23, 2020, $1.0 million was released to the Company from the blocked account and on April 8, 2021, the remaining $6.0 million in the blocked account was removed by the lender in partial satisfaction of the Senior Convertible Note.

On May 24, 2021, the Company entered into a new forbearance agreement (the “New Forbearance Agreement”) with the holder of the Senior Convertible Note under which (i) the Company again admitted it was in default as to several obligations under the Senior Convertible Note and related agreements, and (ii) the lender acknowledged such defaults and agreed not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note or the related securities purchase agreement, warrant or security documents, including its right to accelerate the aggregate amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note, until the earlier of May 31, 2021 or any later date to which such date may be extended (the “Outside Date”), and the date of any new event of default or initiation of any action by the Company to invalidate any of the representations and warranties made in the New Forbearance Agreement. The Outside Date automatically extends for successive two-week periods unless on or before the then-applicable Outside Date the lender provides notice that the Outside Date is not being extended.

As partial consideration for its agreement not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note and related documents, the lender and the Company agreed to make certain changes to the documents. In this regard, the parties agreed to amend the “Event of Default Acceleration Amount” definition in the Senior Convertible Note so that the amount due and payable by the Company on account of an event of default would be an amount in cash equal to 125% of the then-outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Senior Convertible Note. This represents an increase from 120% of the then-outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, and removes the market-price-based alternative for such acceleration amount.

Additionally, the parties also agreed that the principal amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note would be increased by certain paid-in-kind amounts in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to make payments of interest to the lender on each of April 1, 2021 and May 1, 2021, which amounts were not paid by the Company in cash or common stock. In consideration of the lender’s agreement to enter into the New Forbearance Agreement and agree to the amendments to the Senior Convertible Note, the Company agreed to pay the lender a fee in the amount of $1.5 million. Accordingly, following these increases in the principal amount payable, but applying against the outstanding principal and such fee the $6.0 million previously maintained in certain blocked account against that was foreclosed upon by the lender, the total amount of principal outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note as of the date of the New Forbearance Agreement was approximately $13.5 million.

On February 22, 2021, the Company issued a $2.4 million Senior Second Lien Secured Convertible Note due April 1, 2025 (the “Junior Convertible Note”) to an institutional investor for $2.0 million.

On April 29, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, dated as of April 13, 2021, with two initial investors and other investors as may become party thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Junior Convertible Note Purchasers”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of up to $6.0 million aggregate principal amount of Junior Convertible Notes and warrants (the “April 2021 Warrants”) to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock. The Junior Convertible Notes and accompanying April 2021 Warrants may be sold from time to time to one or more Junior Convertible Note Purchasers under the terms of the purchase agreement. On April 29, 2021, the Company closed on the initial sale of Junior Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.8 million and April 2021 Warrants to purchase 1,490,000 shares of common stock under the purchase agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million.

On June 19, 2021, the Company entered the Second Omnibus Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2021 (the "Omnibus Agreement"), with holders of the previously outstanding Junior Convertible Notes, and sold $17.3 million aggregate principal of Junior Convertible Notes for $5.0 million in cash and the surrender of 91.38 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock. In connection with the sale of these Junior Convertible Notes, the Company issued a warrant for the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.37 per share.

Because of the limited nature of the relief provided under the New Forbearance Agreement, which does not lower the amounts payable in principal or interest, the Company believes that it will not have sufficient resources to fund its operations and meet the obligations specified in the Senior Convertible Note or to fund its operations for the next twelve months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Report"). The Company’s software platforms require ongoing funding to continue the current development and operational plans and the Company has a history of net losses. The Company will continue to expend substantial resources for the foreseeable future in connection with the continued development of its software platforms. These expenditures will include costs associated with research and development activity, corporate administration, business development, and marketing and selling of the Company’s services. In addition, other unanticipated costs may arise. The Company believes that additional capital will be required to fund its operations and provide growth capital to meet the obligations under the Senior Convertible Note, the Junior Convertible Note, and the Redeemable Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Company will have to raise additional capital in one or more debt and/or equity offerings and continue to work with its lenders to cure the defaults. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the necessary capital or that any such offering will be available to the Company on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital and with acceptable terms, this would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Furthermore, the recent decline in the market price of the Company’s common stock, coupled with the stock’s delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market, could make it more difficult to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that the Company deems appropriate. The factors discussed above raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In finalizing the financial reporting close process for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company identified certain immaterial errors impacting prior reporting periods beginning as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Specifically, the

Company identified that it incorrectly translated the foreign currency impact on goodwill and intangible assets related to an acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of 2018.

The Company assessed the materiality of this correction to the prior period financial statements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250, Presentation of Financial Statements (“ASC 250”). In accordance with ASC 250, the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been revised from the amounts previously reported to correct these immaterial errors as shown in the tables below and are reflected throughout the financial statements and related notes, as applicable.

The cumulative effect of adjustments required to correct the immaterial errors in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and 2019 are reflected in the revised goodwill, intangible assets, net, accumulated other comprehensive income, and accumulated deficit balances as of December 31, 2018 and 2019 as follows:

	As of December 31, 2018

Financial Statement Presentation and Recent Accounting Updates

Financial Statement Presentation and Recent Accounting Updates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of Pareteum and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. All intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing this report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020. These interim period unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021 (the “2019 Annual Report”).

For a complete summary of our significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 8 of our 2019 Annual Report.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and intangible assets acquired. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and those differences could be material.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net loss or net cash flows.

Accounting Standards Adopted in the Current Year

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance can be applied either prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment testing by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, versus determining an implied fair value in Step 2 to measure the impairment loss. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"), which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 adds, modifies, and removes previous disclosure requirements. Eliminated disclosures include items such as removing disclosures for the valuation process for Level 3 measurements, the policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, and changes in unrealized gains and losses included in earnings for recurring Level 3 measurements held at the reporting period. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020 and it had no effect on the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Codification Improvements – Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer ("ASU 2019-08"). Under this new guidance, share-based payment awards issued to a customer are recorded as a reduction of the transaction price in revenue with an amount measured under the grant-date fair value of the award. Changes in the measurement of the share-based payments after the grant date that are due to the form of the consideration are not included in the transaction price and are recorded elsewhere in the income statement. The award is measured and classified under ASC 718, Stock Compensation, for its entire term, unless the award is modified after it vests and the grantee is no longer a customer. ASU 2019-08 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2019-08 on January 1, 2020, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Recent Accounting Standards Updates Issued - Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. This would apply to companies meeting certain criteria that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the separation

models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. Upon adoption, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability at amortized cost unless (a) the convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"), or (b) the convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. These changes will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that was bifurcated according to previously existing rules. ASU 2020-06 also requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public entities excluding smaller reporting companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For public business entities that meet the definition of a smaller reporting company, the amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company meets the definition of a smaller reporting company and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company has entered into certain off–balance sheet commitments that require the future purchase of goods or services (“unconditional purchase obligations”). The Company entered into the Strategic Connectivity Agreement (the “Connectivity Agreement”) with Hutchison 3G UK Limited (“3UK”) on July 23, 2019. Under the Connectivity Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay 3UK $0.6 million dollars (the "Implementation Fee") for the implementation of a mobile virtual network operator

("MVNO" and specifically, the “3UK MVNO”), and for monthly services provided, based on usage, after the 3UK MVNO is launched, which management anticipates to be in the third quarter of 2021. On February 19, 2021, the Company and 3UK amended the Connectivity Agreement to eliminate some of the invoicing functionality of the 3UK MVNO, which will reduce the Implementation Fee to $0.4 million. The Implementation Fee is payable upon the satisfactory completion of certain agreed upon milestones. As of March 31, 2020, none of those milestones had been achieved, however, as of the date of this Report, two of the four milestones had been achieved.

Concurrent with the execution of the Connectivity Agreement, the Company entered into the Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Credit Voucher (the “Credit Voucher Agreement”) with PCCW Global Limited (“PCCW”) under which the Company is obligated to purchase a credit voucher for $27.6 million. The credit voucher will be used to offset certain monthly service charges incurred under the Connectivity Agreement. As of March 31, 2020, $0.1 million of the purchase price has been paid and $0.5 million of the purchase price has been recorded in accrued expenses and other payables in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $27.1 million unconditional purchase obligation is due and payable following the launch date of the 3UK MVNO, where after the Company is required to remit the amount of the credit voucher used to offset monthly charges incurred under the Connectivity Agreement to PCCW each quarter.

Should the aggregate of the monthly charges offset with the credit voucher from the Connectivity Agreement launch date through June 30, 2022 be less than $7.2 million, the Company is obligated to remit a make-up payment (the “2022 Make-up Payment”) for the difference between $7.2 million and the aggregate monthly charges offset with the credit voucher. Should the aggregate of the monthly charges offset with the credit voucher from the Connectivity Agreement launch date through June 30, 2023, plus any 2022 Make-up Payment, if applicable, be less than $12.7 million, the Company is obligated to remit a make-up payment (the “2023 Make-up Payment”) for the difference between $12.7 million and the aggregate monthly charges offset with the credit voucher, plus any 2022 Make-up Payment. Should the aggregate of the monthly charges offset with the credit voucher from the Connectivity Agreement launch date through June 30, 2024, plus any 2022 Make-up Payment and any 2023 Make-up Payment, if applicable, be less than $19.4 million, the Company is obligated to remit a make-up payment (the “2024 Make-up Payment”) for the difference between $19.4 million and the aggregate monthly charges offset with the credit voucher, plus the 2022 Make-up Payment and the 2023 Make-up Payment. Should the aggregate of the monthly charges offset with the credit voucher from the Connectivity Agreement launch date through June 30, 2025, plus any 2022 Make-up Payment and any 2023 Make-up Payment and any 2024 Make-up Payment, if applicable, be less than $27.1 million, the Company is obligated to remit a final make-up payment for the difference between $27.1 million and the aggregate monthly charges offset with the credit voucher, plus any 2022 Make-up Payment and any 2023 Make-up Payment and any 2024 Make-up Payment.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and that have not been fully resolved. The outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts above management’s expectations, the Company’s financial condition and operating results for that period could be materially adversely affected.

The following actions were initiated or settled on or before March 31, 2020:

Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP. On May 5, 2017, the Company’s former legal counsel, Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, commenced litigation proceedings in New York alleging breach of contract and claiming $0.8 million in unpaid legal fees for January 2015 through November 2016. On June 29, 2017, the parties entered into a settlement agreement for the full $0.8 million with agreed-upon monthly installment payments through August 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, the amount outstanding on the settlement agreement is $0.1 million.

SEC Investigation.

Unclaimed Property Compliance

The Company has received notices from several states stating that they have appointed an agent to conduct an examination of the books and records of the Company to determine whether it has complied with state unclaimed property laws. In addition to seeking the turnover of unclaimed property subject to escheat laws, the states may seek interest, penalties, costs of examinations, and other relief. If the potential loss from any payment claim is considered probable and the amount or the range of the loss can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. To date, the Company is not able to estimate the possible payment, if any, due to the early state of this matter.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Report and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the consolidated financial statements except for the transactions described below.

Senior Convertible Note

On June 8, 2020, the Company issued a $17.5 million Senior Convertible Note due April 1, 2025 to High Trail Investments SA LLC (“High Trail”) for $14.0 million (the "Proceeds"). The Company received $4.0 million of the Proceeds for working capital and the remaining $10.0 million was deposited into a blocked bank account based on terms of a Control Agreement, and incurred approximately $0.5 million of legal fees. Under the terms of the Control Agreement, the Company can access the funds from the blocked account as follows:

•$3.0 million when the Company received $4.0 million in additional financing. The Company received the additional financing in July 2020 and the funds were released to the Company to be used for working capital purposes; and

•On or prior to October 31, 2020, $7.0 million when the Company meets certain specified conditions (the “Specified Conditions”) as of any date and on each of the 20 previous trading days prior to such date as follows:

◦The Company can issue shares of its common stock upon conversion that are not subject to restrictions on resale;

◦Upon conversion, High Trail will not beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock;

◦At all times, the Company will have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of its common stock available for the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Convertible Note plus accrued interest;

◦The daily dollar trading volume of the Company’s common stock for at least 17 of the prior 20 trading days is not less than $0.8 million (as reported on Bloomberg);

◦The Company has obtained the requisite stockholder approval required by the Nasdaq Capital Market for the issuance of the shares of its common stock upon conversion;

◦The average daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock is not less than $0.85; and

◦There are no defaults or events of default that have occurred or are continuing.

The Secured Convertible Note contains customary events of default, as well as events of default if the Company fails to use reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of its stockholders for the issuance of the shares issuable upon conversion by October 31, 2020, the Company’s common stock ceases to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or the Company fails to restate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, in each case, prior to October 31, 2020 or fails to timely file its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or its subsequent annual reports on Form 10-K with the SEC in the manner and within the time periods required by the Exchange Act. As a result of, among other things, the Company’s common stock no longer being traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company failing to restate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, in each case, prior to October 31, 2020, and its failure to timely file its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or its subsequent annual reports on Form 10-K with the SEC in the manner and within the time periods required by the Exchange Act, the Company is currently in default.

The Senior Convertible Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, including any portion constituting an optional redemption payment amount, at High Trail’s election. The conversion rate is equal to 1,666.667 shares of the Company’s common stock for every $1,000 of Senior Convertible Note principal outstanding, or $0.60 per share.

The Senior Convertible Note is secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and substantially all of the assets of its material domestic subsidiaries and the assets of Pareteum Europe BV, a subsidiary organized in the Netherlands. In addition, the Senior Convertible Note contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness, equity securities, liens, dividends, distributions, acquisitions, investments, sale or transfer of assets, transactions with affiliates and maintenance of certain financial ratios.

In connection with Senior Convertible Note, the Company granted a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of its common stock to High Trail at an exercise price of $0.58 per share expiring on June 8, 2025. Under the Forbearance Agreements, the exercise price of the warrant was reduced to $0.37 per share.

On November 30, 2020, the Company and High Trail entered into the Forbearance Agreement. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, High Trail agreed to forebear from exercising certain rights and remedies. High Trail agreed that it would not, directly or indirectly, exercise any right or remedy under any transaction document or take any other enforcement action in respect of the occurrence and continuance of any existing event of default (as explained above), or encourage any other person to take or initiate any such enforcement action or other action through the forbearance termination date as defined as: (a) December 31, 2020 (subsequently extended through March 31, 2021); (b) the occurrence of any event of default (other than an existing event of default); and (c) the initiation of any action by the Company or any other person to invalidate or limit the enforceability of any of the acknowledgments set forth in the Forbearance Agreement.

As a condition of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company and High Trail agreed that if the Company elects the option to pay either the optional redemption payment or the stated interest in shares of its common stock, the Market Stock Payment Price was amended to remove the floor price of $0.10, such that the price would be: an amount equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock during the 10 trading days immediately prior to such interest payment date or optional redemption stock payment date.

In addition, the event of default conversion price was changed to the lesser of (A) the conversion price that would be in effect immediately after the close of business on the conversion date for such conversion as defined in the Senior Convertible Note, and (B) 75% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, such conversion date (or, if such conversion date is not a trading day, the immediately preceding trading day).

On December 23, 2020, High Trail agreed to release to the Company for working capital purposes $1.0 million of the $7.0 million that was required to be held in the blocked bank account under the terms of a Control Agreement until the Specified Conditions were met by October 31, 2020 even though the Specified Conditions were not met. In consideration for High Trail agreeing to release the $1.0 million, the Company increased the initial conversion rate to 2,702.702 from 1,666.667 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Convertible Note, which resulted in a decrease to the conversion price per share to $0.37 from $0.60.

Subsequently, High Trail agreed to extend the forbearance termination date to March 31, 2021. On April 8, 2021, High Trail provided notice to the Company that it was causing $6.0 million of the purchase price maintained in the blocked account to be transferred to High Trail in partial satisfaction of the amounts outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note.

On May 24, 2021, the Company entered into the New Forbearance Agreement with the holder of the Senior Convertible Note under which (i) the Company again admitted it was in default under several obligations under the Senior Convertible Note and related agreements, and (ii) the lender acknowledged such defaults and agreed not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note or the related securities purchase agreement, warrant or security documents, including its right to accelerate the aggregate amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note, until the Outside Date, as the same may be extended from time to time under the terms of the New Forbearance Agreement.

As partial consideration for its agreement not to exercise any right or remedy under the Senior Convertible Note and related documents, the lender and the Company agreed to make certain changes to the documents. In this regard, the parties agreed to amend the “Event of Default Acceleration Amount” definition in the Senior Convertible Note so that the amount due and payable by the Company on account of an event of default would be an amount in cash equal to 125% of the then-outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Senior Convertible Note. This represents an increase from 120% of the then-outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, and removes the market-price-based alternative for such acceleration amount.

Additionally, the parties also agreed that the principal amount outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note would be increased by certain paid-in-kind amounts in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to make payments of interest to the lender on each of April 1, 2021 and May 1, 2021, which amounts were not paid by the Company in cash or Common Stock. In consideration of the lender’s agreement to enter into the New Forbearance Agreement and agree to the amendments to the Senior Convertible Note, the Company agreed to pay the lender a fee in the amount of $1.5 million. Accordingly, following these increases in the principal amount payable, but applying against the outstanding principal and such fee the $6.0 million previously maintained in certain blocked account against that was foreclosed upon by the lender, the total amount of principal outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note as of the date of the New Forbearance Agreement was approximately $13.5 million.

On June 19, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Senior Convertible Note under which the Company will increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes, such that the Company is required to reserve the greater of i) 230,000,000 shares or ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) 200% of the principal amount outstanding, plus all accrued and unpaid interest by (B) 85% of the recent trading price of the Company's common stock.

Junior Convertible Notes

On February 22, 2021, the Company issued the $2.4 million Junior Convertible Note due April 1, 2025 for $2.0 million. The Junior Convertible Note is a senior, secured obligation of the Company, but ranks junior to the Secured Convertible Note. Interest is payable monthly beginning April 1, 2021 at a rate of 8.0% per annum. The Junior Convertible Note is secured by a second lien on substantially all of the Company's assets and substantially all of the assets of its material domestic subsidiaries. Interest may be paid, at the election of the Company, in cash or in shares of common stock of the Company; provided, that, so long as the Senior Convertible Note remains outstanding, such payments may only be made in shares. The number of shares of common stock to be issued to pay interest in shares of the Company’s common stock is determined by the application of a formula in which the amount of the interest due is divided by 85% of the lowest volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock on the principal market for the Company’s common stock over the 10 days preceding the date of such payment.

Subject to an intercreditor agreement with the holder of the Senior Convertible Note, the Company may elect to redeem all or a portion of the then-outstanding principal amount outstanding under the Junior Convertible Note. The holder of such Junior Convertible Note or the Company may also elect for the Company to redeem the Junior Convertible Note at a 20% premium if the Company undergoes a fundamental change. The Junior Convertible Note is convertible into the Company's common stock, in part or in whole, from time to time, at the election of the Purchaser. The conversion rate is equal to 1,666.667 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 of principal amount of the Junior Convertible Note, or $0.60 per share. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments in the event the Company issues stock dividends or effects a split or reverse split of the Company’s common stock.

In connection with the Junior Convertible Note, certain Series B warrants previously issued to this institutional investor for the purchase of up to 258,523 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.84 per share were cancelled; such warrants had been issued on September 24, 2019 in connection with the financing described in Note 6. Stockholders' Equity, and the Company granted a warrant to purchase 2,750,000 shares of its common stock to the purchaser at an exercise price of $0.40 per share expiring on February 22, 2026. The warrants are exercisable any time after February 22, 2021.

On April 29, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, dated as of April 13, 2021 (the “Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement”), with two initial investors and other investors as may become party thereto from time to time (a "Note Purchaser" and collectively, the “Note Purchasers”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of up to $6.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional Junior Convertible Notes and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.40. Under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement, a Note Purchaser will be issued Warrants equal to 83.33333333% of the principal amount of Junior Convertible Notes acquired. The additional Junior Convertible Notes and accompanying Warrants may be sold from time to time to one or more Note Purchasers under the terms of the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement. On April 29, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of additional Junior Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.8 million and Warrants to purchase 1,490,000 shares of common stock under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million.

On June 19, 2021, the Company entered into the Omnibus Agreement, with holders of its previously outstanding Junior Convertible Notes; issued three new Junior Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $17.3 million for a purchase price of $5.0 million in cash and the surrender of 91.38 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock; and issued a new warrant to one of the Junior Convertible Note purchasers for the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.37 per share.

The Omnibus Agreement amended the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement and previously outstanding Junior Convertible Notes and, among other changes:

•Increased the aggregate principal amount of Junior Convertible Notes issuable under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement from $6.0 million to $24.0 million (plus the accrued in-kind interest that is subsequently added to the principal amount outstanding from time to time);

•Increased the aggregate number of shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock issuable under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement from 5,000,000 shares to 11,625,000 shares;

•Added additional negative covenants that restrict the Company from selling any additional securities under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement to any new investors and from redeeming all or any portion of any Junior Convertible Notes unless the holders receive the stated premium;

•Changed the conversion rate from 1,666.667 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of Junior Convertible Notes converted to 2,702.702 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal converted;

•Provides for accrued interest to be paid in-kind by adding such amounts to the outstanding principal balance, rather than paying such amounts in cash or the issuance of shares of common stock;

•Revised the interest rate to 18% until the first interest payment date following the date on which the Company has filed all required periodic reports under the Exchange Act; and

•Added a provision that at the request of holders of a majority of the outstanding Junior Convertible Notes and warrants issued under the Junior Convertible Notes Securities Purchase Agreement, the maturity date will be extended to October 1, 2027 from October 1, 2025.

8% Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock

On various dates from April 28, 2020 through August 18, 2020, the Company issued 67.34 shares Redeemable Preferred Stock with a stated value of $6.7 million for an aggregate purchase price of $4.9 million, from which the Company received net proceeds of $4.6 million after deducting legal fees of $0.2 million. By their terms, those shares are not convertible into other securities of the Company. However, on various dates from July 17, 2020 through October 1, 2020, the Company entered into exchange agreements with the holders of those 67.34 shares, which allows either the Company or the holders to exchange such shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock for shares of the Company's common stock, with the exchange ratio determined by a formula set forth in such exchange agreements. In connection with the Company’s entry into the Omnibus Agreement, the holders of 91.38 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock surrendered such shares to the Company as consideration for new Junior Convertible Notes.

Warrant Extension

On April 24, 2021, the Company effected a waiver of the expiration date of its then remaining outstanding Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,105,113 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company had originally issued the Series B Warrants on September 24, 2019 for the purchase of up to 11,363,636 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.84 per share through March 24, 2021. On February 22, 2021, Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate 258,523 shares of common stock were cancelled in connection with the February 22, 2021 issuance of Junior Convertible Notes described above.

On November 5, 2020, the Company notified the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Hearings Panel") that it would not be able to file this Report, its amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2018, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 or its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 by November 9, 2020, the date by which the Hearings Panel had required the Company to make such filings in order for the Company’s common stock to remain listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. In response to the Company’s notice to Hearings Panel that it would not satisfy the conditions to the exception to the listing requirements granted, Hearings Panel notified the Company by letter dated November 10, 2020 that the Company’s common stock would be delisted, and trading of its common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market was suspended effective at the open of business on November 12, 2020. After the trading of the Company’s common stock was suspended by Nasdaq, prices for the Company’s common stock began to be quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc.’s Pink Open Market.

Asset Disposition

In August 2020, the Company entered into an asset transfer agreement and a software license agreement with a data communications provider (the "Asset Purchaser"), pursuant to which the Asset Purchaser agreed to purchase certain property and equipment and a software license related to a Mobile Virtual Network Enabler solution for total cash consideration of $12.3 million. The Asset Purchaser paid $4.7 million in August 2020 and the remainder in December 2020 upon the completion of the transfer to the Asset Purchaser. The Company recorded a gain on sale of assets of $10.8 million for the difference between the consideration received and the carrying value of the property and equipment and the software license.

Financial Statement Presentation and Recent Accounting Updates (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2020

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of Pareteum and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. All intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing this report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020. These interim period unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021 (the “2019 Annual Report”).

For a complete summary of our significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 8 of our 2019 Annual Report.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and intangible assets acquired. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and those differences could be material.

Reclassification

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net loss or net cash flows.

Accounting Standards Adopted in the Current year

Accounting Standards Adopted in the Current Year

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance can be applied either prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment testing by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, versus determining an implied fair value in Step 2 to measure the impairment loss. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"), which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 adds, modifies, and removes previous disclosure requirements. Eliminated disclosures include items such as removing disclosures for the valuation process for Level 3 measurements, the policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, and changes in unrealized gains and losses included in earnings for recurring Level 3 measurements held at the reporting period. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020 and it had no effect on the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Codification Improvements – Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer ("ASU 2019-08"). Under this new guidance, share-based payment awards issued to a customer are recorded as a reduction of the transaction price in revenue with an amount measured under the grant-date fair value of the award. Changes in the measurement of the share-based payments after the grant date that are due to the form of the consideration are not included in the transaction price and are recorded elsewhere in the income statement. The award is measured and classified under ASC 718, Stock Compensation, for its entire term, unless the award is modified after it vests and the grantee is no longer a customer. ASU 2019-08 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2019-08 on January 1, 2020, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Recent Accounting Standards Updates Issued - Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. This would apply to companies meeting certain criteria that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the separation

models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. Upon adoption, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability at amortized cost unless (a) the convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"), or (b) the convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. These changes will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that was bifurcated according to previously existing rules. ASU 2020-06 also requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public entities excluding smaller reporting companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For public business entities that meet the definition of a smaller reporting company, the amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company meets the definition of a smaller reporting company and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In finalizing the financial reporting close process for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company identified certain immaterial errors impacting prior reporting periods beginning as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Specifically, the

Company identified that it incorrectly translated the foreign currency impact on goodwill and intangible assets related to an acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company assessed the materiality of this correction to the prior period financial statements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250, Presentation of Financial Statements (“ASC 250”). In accordance with ASC 250, the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been revised from the amounts previously reported to correct these immaterial errors as shown in the tables below and are reflected throughout the financial statements and related notes, as applicable.
