Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 11, 2023, Verb Technology Company, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor purchased a promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,005,000 (the “Note Offering”).
The Note bears interest at 9.0% per annum compounded daily. The maturity date of the Note is 18 months from the date of its issuance (the “Maturity Date”). The Note carries no original issue discount but the initial principal balance of the Note includes $5,000 to cover Investor’s legal fees. If the Company elects to prepay the Note prior to the Maturity Date, it must pay to the Investor 110% of the portion of the outstanding balance the Company elects to prepay.
Commencing on the date that is six months after the issuance date of the Note, the Investor has the right to redeem up to $120,000 of the outstanding balance of the Note per month (“Redemption Amount”) by providing written notice to the Company (a “Redemption Notice”). Upon receipt of any Redemption Notice, the Company shall pay the applicable Redemption Amount in cash to the Investor within three (3) trading days of the Company’s receipt of such Redemption Notice. No prepayment premium shall be payable in respect of any Redemption Amount.
The Note requires the Company to use 20.0% of the gross proceeds raised from future equity or debt financings, or the sale of any subsidiary or material asset, to prepay the Note, subject to a maximum aggregate prepayment amount as described in the Note.
In connection with the Note Offering, verbMarketplace, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Guaranty, dated October 11, 2023, pursuant to which it guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Note in exchange for receiving a portion of the proceeds.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and the Investor. Also, until amounts due under the Note are paid in full, the Company agreed, among other things, to: (i) timely make all filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) ensure the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) continues to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, (iii) ensure trading in the Common Stock will not be suspended or otherwise cease trading on the Company’s principal trading market, (iv) prohibit the Company from making any Restricted Issuance (as defined in the Note) without Investor’s prior written consent, (v) prohibit the Company from entering into any agreement or otherwise agree to any covenant, condition, or obligation that restricts it from entering into certain additional transactions with the Investor, and (vi) with the exception of any transaction involving Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Note), prohibit the Company from pledging or granting a security interest in any of its assets without Investor’s prior written consent.
The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Note are summaries, do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and the Note, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K.
