Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 16, 2016, Pareteum Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Agreement”) with certain holders (the “Holders”) of 9% Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate amount of $3,548,000 (the “Notes”) and warrants (“Warrants”) previously issued by the Company to a private placement memorandum dated December 1, 2015, as amended.

to the Agreement, the Company and the Holders agreed to modify certain terms of the Notes whereby the principal amount thereof will be increased by ten percent (10%), which interest shall begin to accrue as of the date of the Agreement. In addition, the holders of the Notes are granted the right, exercisable at any time prior to the maturity date of the Note, to convert the principal amount then outstanding into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price of fifteen cents ($0.15) per share. Upon a voluntary conversion prior to the maturity date, 50% of the interest that would have been payable between the date of the voluntary conversion and the maturity date (the “Unpaid Interest Amount”) shall be converted into such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Unpaid Interest Amount divided by the conversion price. Further, the parties have agreed to the removal of certain anti-dilution protections granted under the Note.

The Agreement also provides for a ten percent (10%) increase in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, as well as a reduction in the exercise price for the Warrants to fifteen cents ($0.15) per share. Further, certain provisions contained in the Warrants granting the Holders full ratchet anti dilution protection have also been deleted to the Agreement.

The Holders were further granted certain piggy back registration rights under the Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
