Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') on January 22, 2021 (the 'Initial Form 8-K') by Teligent, Inc. ('Teligent' or the 'Company') concerning the decision of Deloitte & Touche LLP ('Deloitte') to decline to stand for re-appointment as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, following the completion of the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

As previously reported in the Initial Form 8-K, Deloitte declined to stand for re-appointment as the Company's independent auditor. Following Deloitte's completion of its audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and certain other related audit services for the Company, on May 3, 2021, the Company's retention of Deloitte as its independent registered public accounting firm ended.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, and the subsequent period through May 3, 2021, (i) there were no disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused Deloitte to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements and (ii) except as described below, there were no reportable events as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting were identified relating to (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring activities. During the audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting were identified relating to (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring activities.

Deloitte's report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 contained a paragraph stating that there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to Deloitte and requested that Deloitte furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Deloitte agrees with the above statements and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Deloitte's letter, dated May 7, 2021, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 2, 2021, the Audit Committee selected Grassi & Co. CPAs, P.C. as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.
