PART III -- NARRATIVE

Veritone, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense because the Company is in the process of evaluating and finalizing the appropriate accounting with respect to certain foreign exchange transactions between the Company and its subsidiary located in Israel. The Company previously reported its results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 in its press release furnished on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 8, 2023. The Company expects that the impact of adjustments, if any, after finalizing the appropriate accounting will be limited to non-cash other expense, net loss and net loss per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Company does not expect its revenue, loss from operations, non-GAAP gross margins, and non-GAAP net income (loss) for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 as previously reported by the Company will be impacted and the Company does not expect any revisions to impact the ongoing operations of the Company. The Company expects to file the Form 10-Q within the extension period of five calendar days as provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expectation that the evaluation and finalization of the appropriate accounting may result in adjustments that would impact its non-cash other expense, net loss and net loss per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and will not impact its revenue, loss from operations, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP net income (loss) previously reported by the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and the Company’s expectation that it will file the Form 10-Q within the extension period of five calendar days provided under Rule 12b-25.

In light of the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that such results will be achieved, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking information, which speak only as of the date of this report.
