VERB TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC.

 

VERB TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify as follows:

 

FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Verb Technology Company, Inc. The Corporation’s articles of incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on November 27, 2012 (the “Articles of Incorporation”).

 

SECOND: The Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted a resolution pursuant to Section 78.390 of the Nevada Revised Statutes setting forth a proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) and declaring said amendment to be advisable. The requisite stockholders of the Corporation have duly approved said proposed amendment in accordance with Section 78.320 and 78.390 of the Nevada Revised Statutes of the State of Nevada. The amendment amends the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation as follows:

 

ARTICLE III of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation shall be amended in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

(a) Authorized Capital Stock. The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation is authorized to issue is 415,000,000 shares, consisting of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

 

(b) Reverse Stock Split. Upon the filing (the “Effective Time”) of this Certificate of Amendment pursuant to the Section 78.380 of the Nevada Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, each forty (40) shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Common Stock”) shall automatically without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Old Common Stock, be reclassified, combined, converted and changed into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (the “New Common Stock”), subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The conversion of the Old Common Stock into New Common Stock will be deemed to occur at the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, certificates representing the Old Common Stock shall represent the number of shares of New Common Stock into which such Old Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to this Certificate of Amendment. Holders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional share interests of New Common Stock upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split shall be entitled to receive a whole share of New Common Stock in lieu of any fractional share created as a result of such Reverse Stock Split.

 

(c) Classification of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock may be divided into and issued in series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to divide the authorized shares of Preferred Stock into one or more series, each of which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized, within any limitations prescribed by law and this Article, to fix and determine the designations, rights, qualifications, preferences, limitations and terms of the shares of any series of Preferred Stock including but not limited to the following:

 

a.The rate of dividend, the time of payment of dividends, whether dividends are cumulative, and the date from which any dividends shall accrue;
b.Whether shares may be redeemed, and, if so, the redemption price and the terms and conditions of redemption;
c.The amount payable upon shares in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation;

 

 
 

 

d.Sinding fund or other provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of shares;
e.The terms and conditions on which shares may be converted, if the shares of any series are issued with the privilege of conversion;
f.Voting powers, if any, provided that if any of the Preferred Stock or series thereof shall have voting rights, such Preferred Stock or series shall vote only on a share for share basis with the Common Stock on any matter, including but not limited to the election of directors, for which such Preferred Stock or series has such rights; and
g.Subject to the foregoing, such other terms, qualifications, privileges, limitation, options, restrictions, and special or relative rights and preferences, if any, of shares or such series as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may, at the time so acting, lawfully fix and determine under the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or other distribution (unless payable solely in shares of Common Stock or other class of stock junior to the Preferred Stock as to dividends upon liquidation) in respect of Common Stock, or other class of stock junior to the Preferred Stock, nor shall it redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any of the foregoing, unless dividends, if any, payable to holders of Preferred Stock for the current period (and in the case of cumulative dividends, if any, for all past periods) have been paid, are being paid or have been set aside for payment, in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock, as fixed by the Board of Directors.

 

In the event of the liquidation of the Corporation, holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, before any payment or distribution on the Common Stock or any other class of stock junior to the Preferred Stock upon liquidation, ad distribution per share in the amount of the liquidation preference, if any, fixed or determined in accordance with the terms of such Preferred Stock plus, if so provided in such terms, an amount per share equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends in respect of such Preferred Stock (whether or not earned or declared) to the date of such distribution. Neither the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, nor any consolidation or merger of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation for the purposes of this Article.

 

THIRD: This Certificate of Amendment shall be effective as of 3:00 p.m., Pacific Daylight Time on April 17th , 2023.
