Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously reported, on June 3, 2019 Fusion Connect, Inc. (“Fusion”) and its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors” and together with their non-debtor Canadian subsidiaries, the “Company”) filed voluntary petitions (and the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re Fusion Connect, Inc. (Case No. 19-11811). The Debtors are operating their businesses as “debtors in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

As previously disclosed, in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors filed the second amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Fusion Connect, Inc. and Its Subsidiary Debtors (the “Plan”) and the related second amended disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Court. Terms used but not otherwise defined in this Form 8-K have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement.

On October 21, 2019, the Company filed its monthly operating report for the period beginning September 1, 2019 and ending September 30, 2019 (the “Monthly Operating Report”) with the Court. The Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. This Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 hereto) will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information being furnished under this Item 7.01 pursuant to this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Trading in Fusion’s Securities

Fusion cautions that trading in its securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for Fusion’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of Fusion’s securities in the Chapter 11 Cases.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Statements that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements. Certain of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “shall,” “will,” “seeks,” “targets,” “future,” or other similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors and the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from future results, performance or achievements expressed in these forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to: the terms of and potential transactions contemplated by the RSA, the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, the Chapter 11 Cases and Court proceedings; management’s strategy, plans, opportunities, objectives, expectations, or intentions; and descriptions of assumptions underlying any of the above matters and other statements that are not historical fact.

These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current beliefs, intentions and expectations and are not guarantees or indicative of future performance, nor should any conclusions be drawn or assumptions be made as to the outcome of any potential transactions or strategic initiatives the Company considers. Risks and uncertainties relating to the proposed restructuring include: ability of the Company to comply with the terms of the RSA and DIP Facility, including completing various stages of the restructuring within the dates specified in the RSA and DIP Facility; ability of the Company to obtain and maintain requisite support for the restructuring from various stakeholders; ability of the Plan to satisfy all requirements necessary for confirmation by the Court; ability of the Company to successfully execute the transactions contemplated by the RSA, the Plan and/or the Disclosure Statement without substantial disruption to its business; high costs of bankruptcy proceedings and related fees, including the risk that the restructuring will take longer than anticipated; the actions and decisions of the Company’s creditors and other third parties who have interests in the Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with the Company’s operational and strategic plans; ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; and the effects of disruption from the proposed restructuring making it more difficult to maintain business, financing and operational relationships, to retain key executives and to maintain various licenses and approvals necessary for the Company to conduct its business. Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those factors, risks and uncertainties described in more detail in the risk factors set forth in Exhibit 99.3 to Fusion’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 2, 2019 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and other filings with the SEC.

The above factors, risks and uncertainties are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond the Company’s control. New factors, risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore any of these statements may prove to be inaccurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the Company’s objectives and plans will be achieved. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date such statements were made or any earlier date indicated, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in underlying assumptions or otherwise. If the Company were in any particular instance to update or correct a forward-looking statement, investors and others should not conclude that the Company would make additional updates or corrections thereafter.
