Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

On April 10, 2023, Verb Technology Company, Inc. (the “Company”), held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to vote on four Proposals, as identified below. Present virtually, or represented by valid proxy at the Special Meeting were a total of 77,367,918 shares of the Company’s common stock, out of a total of 153,610,152 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, and the one share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) that was issued and outstanding, and entitled to vote as of the record date for the Special Meeting, constituting a quorum.

 

As previously described in in the Company’s Proxy Statement, the holder of record of the one outstanding share of the Company’s Preferred Stock was entitled to 700,000,000 votes. The Preferred Stock had the right to vote only on Proposal 1 and Proposal 2, but the votes could only be cast in the same proportion, both For and Against as the shares of the common stock voted on Proposal 1 and Proposal 2. As such, the votes of the Preferred Stock could not change the outcome of the vote of the common stock, only amplify it.

 

The following proposals, each as described further in the Proxy Statement, were voted upon by the stockholders:
