Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 5, 2014, GTT Communications, Inc.  (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, as representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters (“Underwriters”) named in the Underwriting Agreement, pursuant to which the Representative agreed to act as lead underwriter in a public offering (the “Offering”) of 3,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock.  The Underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase up to 525,000 additional shares. The Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2014 (File No. 333- 194972) and a prospectus supplement dated December 5, 2014.  The Underwriting Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants relating to the Offering. The Offering closed on December 10, 2014.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments which the Underwriters or such other indemnified parties may be required to make in respect of any such liabilities.

The opinion of Kelley Drye & Warren LLP regarding the validity of the Shares sold in the Offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to and incorporates herein by reference the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1.

In connection with the Offering, on December 5, 2014, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 6, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), with the other borrowers thereunder, several lenders thereunder (the “Lenders”), and Webster Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Lenders and the Company agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to postpone the Company’s obligation prepay indebtedness under the Credit Agreement with the proceeds of the Offering until the maturity date of the Credit Agreement.
