VERB Completes Financing Transaction for $5.0 Million in Gross Proceeds
November 10 2022 - 08:00AM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
Verb Technology Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: VERB)
(“VERB” or the “Company”), a leader in interactive video-based
sales enablement applications, including shoppable livestream, has
completed a financing transaction with an accredited, family office
investor, which provided gross proceeds to VERB of $5.0 million.
The transaction was structured as a non-convertible, unsecured term
loan (the “Loan”). The Loan accumulates interest at the rate of 9%
per annum and matures on May 7, 2024.
“It’s no secret that the current economic conditions have
impacted the capital markets, making fundraising a far more
difficult process,” stated Rory J. Cutaia, VERB CEO. “While there
are limited options available to most companies, our Board members
and management worked together in evaluating financing proposals,
and determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and
our stockholders to proceed with a non-convertible, unsecured term
loan structure, with no warrant or other equity component, to
provide funds for growth and working capital. This is the second
financing the Company has completed in the past three weeks,
bringing our aggregate gross proceeds from the financings to $9.0
million. We believe these financings, together with a recently
implemented comprehensive cost reduction plan that I will discuss
in greater detail during our upcoming earnings call, give VERB a
solid basis to move forward through the fourth quarter and into
2023.”
Extension of Nasdaq Compliance Period
On November 9, 2022, the Company received a written notification
from the Nasdaq Stock Market confirming that the Company has been
granted an additional 180-day period – or until May 8, 2023 – to
regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price
requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Nasdaq’s determination was based on the Company meeting all of the
continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, with
the sole exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and the
Company’s confirmation of its intention to cure the deficiency
during the compliance period. If, at any time during the additional
compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common
stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive
trading days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of
compliance. The Company will monitor the closing bid price of its
common stock and intends to take such actions as are necessary to
regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement to ensure
its common stock continues trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
