Item 2.04

Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A of FTE Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 30, 2019, certain judgments in the aggregate amount of approximately $4.2 million were entered against the Company in favor of six holders of convertible notes of the Company. The failure of the Company to satisfy, vacate or stay first judgment to be entered during the 30-day period following the entry of such judgement on July 31, 2019 constituted an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 2, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company and its subsidiaries, Jus-Com, Inc. and Benchmark Builders, Inc., as borrowers, Lateral Juscom Feeder LLC, as Administrative Agent (“Lateral”), and the several lenders party thereto (together with Lateral, the “Lenders”). The occurrence and continuation of the event of default under the Credit Agreement gives the Lenders the right to accelerate the repayment of all amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement, which totaled approximately $54,518,260.46 as of August 31, 2019, among other remedies. The payment obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

To date, none of the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement has been accelerated by the Lenders. The Company is currently in discussions with the Lenders regarding the possibility of obtaining a waiver or forbearance of the existing event of default.

Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain “forward looking statements” regarding future events that are based on the Company’s current expectations and are necessarily subject to risks and uncertainty, including risks related to, among other things, the Company’s ability to obtain a waiver or forbearance of certain events of default under the Credit Agreement. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements.
