FTNW FTE Networks Inc

FTE Networks, Inc. (NYSE American:  FTNW) ("FTE" or the "Company"), today issued a letter to FTE shareholders regarding the Company’s efforts and progress since the completion of its debt restructuring in July 2019. The full text of the letter from President and Interim CEO Fred Sacramone follows.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

The Company has been expending significant efforts on many fronts to bring the Company current in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Management has been assisting outside counsel and consultants with the internal investigation of certain actions that was requisitioned by our Board of Directors and announced in a Form 8-K on March 22, 2019, preparing the restated financial statements for our 2016 and 2017 fiscal years and the financial statements for our 2018 fiscal year, and working with our outside auditors in their audit of such financial statements.  Most importantly, we have been preparing the amended and most recent annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to make those financial statements available to the public and to include other disclosures that are required by the applicable federal securities laws.  This has been a major effort on the part of management and we currently expect to make those filings with the SEC in the fourth quarter of this year. 

Additionally, the Company is currently exploring various strategic alternatives that would improve the Company's long-term financial health and operational effectiveness and address important legal issues resulting from certain actions taken by prior management, including but not limited to, additional financial and operational restructurings, sale or disposition of assets, and reviewing our legal remedies to recover funds and assets.

We appreciate the support and patience of all of the Company’s stakeholders as we continue our efforts to bring FTE Networks in full compliance with its required filings and improve our operating performance.  We believe the completion of those filings will be the start of a more robust communications effort on the part of the Company and will continue to share pertinent information as we work towards improving and streamlining our business operations to promote growth in our revenues and profitability.

Sincerely,

Fred SacramonePresident & Interim CEO
