Section 2 – Financial Information

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On April 11, 2019, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Sound Concepts (the “Closing”). On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at Closing (the “Effective Time”), each share of Sound Concepts’ capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Sound Concepts Capital Stock”), was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a proportionate share of $25,000,000 of value, payable through a combination of a cash payment by us of an aggregate of $15,000,000 (the “Acquisition Cash Payment”), and the issuance of an aggregate of 3,194,888 restricted shares of our Common Stock, with a fair market value of $10,000,000. The Acquisition Cash Payment was paid using a portion of the net proceeds we received as a result of our recent public offering (the “Public Offering”) of units that closed on April 9, 2019, which closing was announced in Item 8.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2019, and by our related press release that was attached as exhibit 99.1 thereto.

 

As disclosed in Item 8.01, at the Closing, the Sound Concepts Shareholders purchased an aggregate of $4,000,000 of unrestricted units in our Public Offering at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions as all other investors who purchased units in our Public Offering, such that our net cash outlay in connection with the Sound Concepts acquisition was approximately $11,000,000.

 

In connection with the Closing of the Sound Concepts acquisition, we issued a press release, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1.

 

Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Maintenance

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers.

 

Effective with the Closing of the Sound Concepts acquisition, Chad J. Thomas stepped out of his role as our Chief Technology Officer. Mr. Thomas will continue to be our full-time employee as our Director of Product Development, and in that capacity, will manage the now combined legacy-Sound Concepts and Verb tech, design, and development teams and oversee the on-going development of our technology and associated applications and initiatives, including the integration of our technology into the platforms of Salesforce, Oracle NetSuite, Adobe Marketo, and Microsoft, among others.
