The New York Stock Exchange

Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock Purchase Rights

(1) On July 2, 2021, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) announced that (i) it had suspended trading of GTT Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) common stock, which had traded on the NYSE under the trading symbol “GTT” (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Common Stock. The Company does not intend to appeal the NYSE’s delisting determination. The Company expects that the NYSE will subsequently file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Common Stock from listing on the NYSE and from registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Since the Company’s Common Stock was registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act prior to its listing on NYSE MKT LLC in 2013, the registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act will again become operative upon the effectiveness of the deregistration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (§230.405 of this chapter) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§240.12b-2 of this chapter).

Emerging growth company ☐

If an emerging growth company, indicate by check mark if the registrant has elected not to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards provided pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. ☐

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

As reported by the Company in its prior filings with the SEC, the Company has been unable to file on a timely basis the Q2 2020 Form 10-Q, the Q3 2020 Form 10-Q, the 2020 Form 10-K and the Q1 2021 Form 10-Q. In addition, as further described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 22, 2020, in connection with the Company’s previously disclosed review of certain accounting issues (the “Review”), the Company’s board of directors concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, each of the quarters during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Non-Reliance Periods”) and certain related disclosures should no longer be relied upon. The Company is preparing restated financial statements relating to the Non-Reliance Periods (the “Restated Financial Statements”), which Restated Financial Statements will be needed to produce the Q2 2020 Form 10-Q, the Q3 2020 Form 10-Q, the 2020 Form 10-K and the Q1 2021 Form 10-Q.

The Company does not expect to be able to file the Q2 2020 Form 10-Q, the Q3 2020 Form 10-Q, the 2020 Form 10-K or the Q1 2021 Form 10-Q by the New Expiration Date, and the Company is unable to predict a specific filing date for the Q2 2020 Form 10-Q, the Q3 2020 Form 10-Q, the 2020 Form 10-K or the Q1 2021 Form 10-Q at this time. The Company has been and intends to continue working diligently to file the Restated Financial Statements, the Q2 2020 Form 10-Q, the Q3 2020 Form 10-Q, the 2020 Form 10-K and the Q1 2021 Form 10-Q with the SEC as soon as possible.

On July 2, 2021 (the “Notice Date”), the Company received a notice of default from the Trustee. Under Section 4.15 of the Indenture, the Company was required to file with the SEC annual financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 within 15 days of the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations (including any grace periods). The Company did not file the Q1 2021 Form 10-Q within 15 days of May 17, 2021, which was the last day of the extension period provided for the filing under Rule 12b-25(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has therefore failed to comply with such reporting covenant. Under the Indenture, the failure of the Company to comply with the reporting covenant, if it continues for a period of 60 days after the Notice Date (the “Cure Period”) (which 60 day Cure Period ends on August 31, 2021), would constitute an Event of Default, as that term is defined in the Indenture.

The foregoing summary of terms and provisions of the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture.

This Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose. This Item 7.01 shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference to this Item 7.01 in such filing.

Disclosures About Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and such statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided by the same. These statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

(iv) the conditions to access funding under the Priming Facility Credit Agreement may not be satisfied and the Company may be unable to access such funding, and existing cash balances and funds generated from operations may not be sufficient to finance the Company’s operations and meet its cash requirements; (v) the Company is subject to risks associated with the actions of network providers and a concentrated number of vendors and clients; (vi) the Company could be subject to cyber-attacks and other security breaches;

(xxi) the Company may be unable to obtain from the Lenders or the holders of Notes the further forbearances, waivers, consents, releases or other agreements that may be necessary to prevent a default under the Credit Agreement, the Priming Facility Credit Agreement or the Indenture that may be necessary to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the Sale Transaction, either on terms acceptable to the Company or at all, in which case that certain Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 16, 2020, among the Sellers and the Buyer relating to the Sale Transaction (as amended, the “Infrastructure SPA”) may terminate

unless the Buyer provides a waiver; (xxii) the Company may not be able to obtain the consent of certain parties to contracts with the Sellers and their subsidiaries that will be necessary to fully implement the Sale Transaction or the Reorganization, on terms acceptable to the Company or at all; (xxiii) the Buyer may be unable to obtain financing sufficient to enable it to consummate the Sale Transaction as required at the closing under the Infrastructure SPA; (xxiv) the potential failure to satisfy, or obtain waivers of, other closing conditions under the Infrastructure SPA, including the completion of audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which may result in the Sale Transaction not being consummated; (xxv) the potential failure of the Company to realize anticipated benefits of the Sale Transaction; (xxvi) risks from relying on the Buyer for various critical transaction services and network services for an extended period under the transition services agreement and the master services agreement contemplated by the Infrastructure SPA; (xxvii) the potential impact of announcement or consummation of the Reorganization and the Sale Transaction on relationships with third parties, including customers, employees and competitors; (xxviii) the ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers in the manner anticipated; and (xxix) the Company has announced that it expects to report material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and its internal control over financial reporting may have further weaknesses of which the Company is not currently aware or which have not been detected; such material weaknesses, among other things, could impact the Company’s ability to appropriately provide for the purchase price adjustment mechanisms in the Infrastructure SPA. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. The Company does not undertake to update the forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that may arise after the date of the forward-looking statements.
