Verb Technology Company, Inc. (Nasdaq:
VERB) (“VERB” or the “Company”), the leader in interactive
video-based sales-enablement applications, including MARKET.live,
its livestream social shopping platform, announces today that on
June 13, 2023, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement
with Scaleworks, Inc., a San Antonio, TX-based B2B software private
equity fund, through its special purpose entity SW Direct Sales,
LLC and simultaneously closed the sale of all assets that comprised
its direct sales and life sciences software-as-a-service
applications, including its customer relationship management (CRM),
learning management system (LMS) and live selling software
applications (excluding MARKET.live, the Company’s livestream
shopping platform) (the “Transaction”). The Company retained, and
will now focus its resources entirely on its livestream shopping
platform, MARKET.live. Alantra served as the exclusive advisor to
VERB.
A summary of the terms of the Transaction are
set forth in a Form 8-K filed today by the Company. The Form 8-K
also includes information concerning a non-binding letter of intent
executed by the Company to acquire certain assets to accelerate the
growth its MARKET.live platform.
“This is a pivotal moment in the continued
evolution of VERB,” states Rory J. Cutaia, Chairman and CEO of
VERB. “What this means for Team VERB moving forward is that we have
a much leaner organization, a smaller team of accomplished
professionals, laser-focused on MARKET.live, our livestream
shopping business, together with the resources needed to implement
and execute the growth initiatives that for the most part, have
been put on hold over the past 6 months. Through this transaction,
we have placed our direct sales and life sciences business assets,
and more importantly, our clients, in the capable hands of
Scaleworks, whose expertise is growing B2B software businesses.
Moreover, our entire SaaS team, employees and contractors – 74
people in total – have been retained by Scaleworks so our clients
can be assured that the same best in class direct sales enablement
platform, managed by the best in industry people remain in place as
committed as ever to our clients’ success.”
