Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 24, 2017, Goodman Networks Incorporated (“Goodman”) and certain of Goodman’s subsidiaries (together with Goodman, the “Company”) entered into a restructuring support agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with (i) certain holders of the Company’s 12.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (collectively, such notes, the “Secured Notes,” and such holders, the “Consenting Noteholders”), and (ii) John Goodman, Jason Goodman, James Goodman, Jonathan Goodman, Joseph Goodman, and Scott Pickett (collectively, such individuals, with any applicable affiliates, the “Consenting Equityholders”). All capitalized terms not defined in this description of the Restructuring Support Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Restructuring Support Agreement.

The Restructuring Support Agreement sets forth, subject to certain conditions, the commitment of the Company, the Consenting Noteholders, and the Consenting Equityholders to support a comprehensive restructuring of over $325 million of the Company’s long term debt (the “Restructuring”). The Restructuring will be effectuated through a joint prepackaged plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) to be filed in connection with voluntary cases commenced by the Company under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, which cases shall be commenced no later than February 27, 2017. Certain principal terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Restructuring contemplated thereby are outlined below:

The Restructuring Support Agreement contemplates that the PIK Preferred Stock will have terms acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders, the Company, and the Required Consenting Equityholders. The PIK Preferred Stock will not receive any payment-in-kind or cash-pay dividends for three years after the effective date of the Plan

(the “Plan Effective Date”). Following the third anniversary of the Plan Effective Date, the PIK Preferred Stock will accrue dividends at a rate of 7% per year, payable quarterly in either cash or in additional shares of PIK Preferred Stock. As promptly as reasonably practicable, but no later than June 30, 2017, Reorganized Goodman shall make an initial redemption of the PIK Preferred Stock at par using cash in excess of $15 million (“Excess Cash”) to redeem at par the PIK Preferred Stock as follows (such redemptions, the “Initial Redemption”): (a) the first $10 million of Excess Cash shall be used on a pro rata basis to redeem the Noteholder PIK Preferred Stock; and (b) the next $5 million of Excess Cash shall be used on a pro rata basis to redeem both the Noteholder PIK Preferred Stock and the Goodman MBE Group PIK Preferred Stock (as defined below). Any amounts of Excess Cash in excess of the $15 million used in the foregoing (a) and (b) shall be used on a pro rata basis to redeem all then outstanding PIK Preferred Stock.

In addition, the Restructuring Support Agreement provides that pursuant to consulting agreements to be agreed to by Reorganized Goodman, John Goodman, Jason Goodman, James Goodman, and Jonathan Goodman (collectively, such individuals, with any applicable affiliates, the “Goodman MBE Group”) will receive the following consideration in exchange for services to be provided to the Company and for maintaining the Company’s minority business enterprise (“MBE”) certification following the consummation of the Restructuring: (i) PIK Preferred Stock having an initial liquidation value of $20 million (the “Goodman MBE Group PIK Preferred Stock”), subject to the redemption terms set forth above; and (ii) 50.1% of the New Common Stock, subject to pro rata economic dilution pursuant to the MIP.

Pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement, the parties also agreed in principle on forms of employment agreements to be entered by the Company with John Goodman and Jason Goodman and a form of separation agreement to be entered by the Company with Jonathan Goodman. The parties also agreed that the Company would enter into a settlement and release agreement with James Goodman in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Consenting Noteholders. Copies of the forms of employment agreements and separation agreement are attached as exhibits to the Restructuring Support Agreement.

As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Plan Effective Date, PIK Preferred Stock having an initial liquidation value of $5 million and cash-settlement restricted stock units, which shall economically represent 5% of the value of the Common Equity as of the Plan Effective Date, will be reserved for participants in the MIP.

As set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Board of Directors of Reorganized Goodman (the “Reorganized Goodman Board”) shall consist of five directors, who shall include: (i) two directors selected by the Required Consenting Equityholders; (ii) one independent director selected by the Required Consenting Equityholders from three potential directors proposed by AT&T Services, Inc. and/or its affiliates (collectively, “AT&T”); and (iii) two independent directors appointed by the Required Consenting Noteholders. The Reorganized Goodman Board shall be constituted consistent with the preceding and the Required Consenting Equityholders and the Required Consenting Noteholders shall use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Reorganized Goodman Board is constituted in a manner that maintains the Company’s state and federal MBE status. Upon the repayment in full of the New Notes and the redemption in full of the PIK Preferred Stock, the Reorganized Goodman Board may be reconstituted to consist of three directors selected by Reorganized Goodman and two independent directors.

Further, the senior management team (i.e., officers) and overall management structure of Reorganized Goodman, on and as of the Plan Effective Date, shall be determined by the Required Consenting Equityholders, subject to the consent of AT&T and in consultation with the Consenting Noteholders. Pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Required Consenting Equityholders and AT&T will continue discussions, and consult with the Consenting Noteholders, regarding the members of Reorganized Goodman’s management team. After the Plan Effective Date, all officer decisions with respect to Reorganized Goodman (and any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries), compensation arrangements (to the extent not otherwise negotiated during the chapter 11 cases), and affiliate transactions shall be made subject to the approval of the Reorganized Goodman Board.

The Restructuring Support Agreement obligates the Company, each Consenting Noteholder, and each Consenting Equityholder to support the Plan, and, as to each Consenting Noteholder and each Consenting Equityholder, to vote its Claims (as defined in section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) and interests, as applicable, in favor of the Plan. The Restructuring Support Agreement may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events, including the failure to meet specified milestones relating to the filing, confirmation, and consummation of the Plan, among other

2

requirements, and in the event of certain breaches by the parties under the Restructuring Support Agreement. The Restructuring Support Agreement is subject to termination if the Plan Effective Date has not occurred on or before the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days after entry of the confirmation order by the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurances that the Restructuring will be consummated.

The information in this Form 8-K is not intended to be, and should not in any way be construed as, a solicitation of votes on the Plan, nor should the information contained herein or in the Restructuring Support Agreement be relied on for any purpose with respect to the Plan. The foregoing description of the Restructuring Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restructuring Support Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Interest Payment on Goodman Secured Notes

As part of the negotiations related to the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Company has elected not to make the interest payment in the amount of approximately $20 million that was due on January 3, 2017 on the Secured Notes. Under the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Consenting Noteholders, holding in excess of 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Secured Notes, have agreed to forbear on exercising remedies related to the Company’s election to make the interest payment and certain other specified defaults set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Financial Information

During the discussions regarding the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Company provided certain holders of the Secured Notes and their respective advisors with certain prospective financial information regarding the Company set forth in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto.

The Company generally does not publicly disclose detailed prospective financial information. This financial information attached hereto was not prepared with a view towards public disclosure and was not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or published guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of “prospective financial information.”

The inclusion of the financial forecasts in this Current Report on Form 8-K should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or any other person considered, or now consider, this information to be necessarily predictive of actual future results, and does not constitute an admission or representation by any person that the expectations, beliefs, opinions, and assumptions that underlie such forecasts remain the same as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information.

Neither the independent auditor of the Company nor any other independent accountant has examined, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information contained herein and, accordingly, none has expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability and none assumes any responsibility for the prospective financial information.

Each of the financial forecasts include in this Current Report on Form 8-K:

3

All of the financial information contained in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto is forward-looking in nature. The information is subjective in many respects and thus subject to interpretation. Further, the information relates to multiple future years and such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each succeeding day. The Company cannot provide assurance that the financial projections will be realized; rather, actual future financial results may vary materially from the forward-looking information.

Except as required by law, the Company does not intend to update or revise publicly any of the prospective financial information to reflect circumstances or other events occurring after the date the financial projections were prepared or to reflect the occurrence of future events. These considerations should be taken into account in reviewing the financial projections, which were prepared as of an earlier date. For additional information on factors that may cause actual future financial results to vary materially from the prospective financial information, see the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Forward-looking statements related to the Restructuring Support Agreement involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but are not limited to the Company’s ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court
