Pareteum Corporation Receives Anticipated Nasdaq Notice of Additional Delinquency

NEW YORK, March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Pareteum Corporation TEUM, a growing cloud communications platform company, announced that, as expected, the Company received an additional delinquency notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") due to the Company's continued non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), as a result of the Company's failure to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019 (the "Form 10-K").

The Company previously announced its determination to restate its consolidated financial statements as of and for the full year ended December 31, 2018, and interim periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2019 (collectively, the "Non-Reliance Periods").

The Company received a notice of non-compliance from Nasdaq on November 13, 2019 for failing to file its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2019. The Staff subsequently granted the Company an extension through May 11, 2020 to make that filing.

The Company intends to provide Nasdaq with an update to its compliance plan that addresses the delayed filing of the Form 10-K. In that regard, the Company will restate financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods in advance of filing the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and the Form 10-K.  

The Company continues to work diligently to complete its restatement and intends to file its delinquent filings as soon as reasonably practical; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to become fully current in filing by the May 11, 2020 deadline.  In such an event, the Company would be afforded a hearing before an independent Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
