In accordance with Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, an additional amount of the Common Stock having a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of $9,356,320 is hereby registered representing no more than 20% of the maximum aggregate offering price of unsold securities under the Prior Registration Statement.

This Registration Statement on Form S-3 (this “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement”) is being filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the purpose of registering an additional $9,356,320 in shares of the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Verb Technology Company, Inc. (the “Company”).
This Rule 462(b) Registration Statement relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-252167) (the “Prior Registration Statement”), which was previously filed by the registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 15, 2021 and declared effective on January 22, 2021. The Prior Registration Statement registered securities with an aggregate offering price not to exceed $75,000,000. As of the date hereof, an aggregate of $24,004,703 of such securities has been issued and sold pursuant to the Prior Registration Statement. In addition, an aggregate of $4,051,617 of such securities may be sold in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. Accordingly, an aggregate of $46,943,680 of securities are not subject to issuance pursuant to the “at-the-market” offerings and otherwise remain available to be offered and sold under the Prior Registration Statement (collectively, the “Unallocated Securities”). In accordance with Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, the additional amount of Common Stock having a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of $9,356,320 that is being registered hereunder represents no more than 20% of the Unallocated Securities under the Prior Registration Statement.
Pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, the contents of the Prior Registration Statement, including each of the documents filed by the Company with the Commission and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, and each of the exhibits thereto, are hereby incorporated by reference into this Rule 462(b) Registration Statement.
