Birch Telecom, LLC Attachment 1 Pro Forma Notice of Intracorporate Transaction (Response to FCC Form 214TC Question 13) Description of Transaction On May 4, 2018, Birch Telecom participated in the consummation of the Merger Transaction, pursuant to which its immediate holding company was merged with and into a subsidiary of Fusion Connect, Inc. f/k/a Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc. (“Fusion Connect”). The Commission reviewed and granted approval for this Merger Transaction in WC Docket 17-301 and IB File Nos. ITC-TC-20171031-00201 and ITC-TC-20171031-00202. Birch Telecom became an indirect subsidiary of Fusion Connect; however, as part of the Merger Transaction, the ultimate shareholders of Birch Telecom at closing acquired a controlling ownership in Fusion Connect. Consequently, there was no substantive change to the ultimate ownership of Birch Telecom. There were, however, non-substantive changes to Birch Telecom’s corporate ownership and structure. The details of the Merger Transaction and the resulting pro forma changes to Birch Telecom’s ownership are addressed more extensively in the referenced proceedings. Moreover, in connection with the Merger Transaction, Birch Telecom was converted from a corporation into a limited liability company. Pursuant to 47 C.F.R., § 63.24 (Note 2 to Paragraph (d)), this conversion is a “change in form of the business entity” and is recognized by the Commission as presumptively pro forma. A certification, as required pursuant to 47 C.F. R. § 63.24(f)(2)(ii), is appended. 4817-6691-5687v.1

Certification I hereby certify that I am Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Birch Telecom, LLC and that I am authorized to make this certification on behalf of Birch Telecom, LLC; further, with respect to the foregoing notification of a pro forma transaction, that the statements in the notification are true and correct to the best of my belief and are made in good faith; that the transaction was pro forma as described in Section 63.24(a) of the Commission‘s Rules; and that this transaction, together with all previous pro forma transactions, did not result in a change in ultimate control. /y Jamés P. Prene Aa, Jr. Executive Vice Presidené :fid General Counsel Birch Telecom, LLC Date: June 6, 2018 4817—6691—5687v.1
