COMMON STOCK

 

This prospectus supplement supplements, modifies and supersedes, only to the extent indicated herein, certain information contained in our prospectus supplement dated December 15, 2023, which together with the accompanying prospectus dated March 31, 2022 contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-264038), we refer to as the prospectus, relating to the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, from time to time through our sales agent, Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, or ACM. These sales, if any, will be made pursuant to the terms of the At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement, or the Sales Agreement, we entered into with ACM.

 

This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with, is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with, the prospectus, including all supplements thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein. If there is any inconsistency between the information in the prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. Any information that is modified or superseded in the prospectus shall not be deemed to constitute a part of the prospectus, except as modified or superseded by this prospectus supplement.

 

As of March 18, 2024, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates, or the public float, was $26,634,023, which was calculated based on 60,230,717 shares of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates at a price of $0.4422 per share, the closing price of our common stock on March 15, 2024. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell shares pursuant to this prospectus supplement with a value of more than one-third of the aggregate market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates in any 12-month period, or $8,878,008. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we have sold $3,577,665 of securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 during the 12 calendar months prior to, and including, the date of this prospectus supplement, and are therefore eligible to sell up to an additional $5,300,300 of our securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities registered on this registration statement in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of the aggregate market value of our voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates in any 12-month period so long our public float remains below $75 million.

 

We are filing this prospectus supplement to supplement and amend, as of March 19, 2024, the prospectus, as supplemented, to increase the maximum aggregate offering price of our common stock that may be offered, issued and sold under the prospectus, as supplemented and amended by this prospectus supplement, pursuant to the Sales Agreement from $960,000 to $6,260,000. From and after the date hereof, pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, we are offering to issue and sell up to $6,260,000 from time to time through ACM, acting as our sales agent or principal in accordance with the Sales Agreement, as amended.

  

Our common stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “VERB.” The closing price of our common stock on March 18, 2024 was $0.36 per share.

 

Sales of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus may be made in sales deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. ACM is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will act as a sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on terms mutually agreed to by ACM and us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

 

The compensation to ACM for sales of common stock sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be up to 3% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the Sales Agreement. In connection with the sale of the common stock on our behalf, ACM will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of ACM will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to ACM with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before buying any of our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” on page S-7 of the prospectus supplement dated December 15, 2023, on page 4 of the prospectus and under similar headings in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the prospectus.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

 

The date of this prospectus supplement is March 19, 2024.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

This prospectus supplement is part of a registration statement that we filed on Form S-3 (File No. 333-264038) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), using a “shelf” registration process, and that was declared effective by the SEC on April 14, 2022. By using a shelf registration statement, we may sell an unspecified amount of securities from time to time. Under this prospectus supplement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $960,000 from time to time through or to ACM acting as our agent or principal at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions at the time of the offering. The $960,000 of shares of our common stock that may be sold under this prospectus supplement are included in the $100,000,000 of shares of common stock that may be sold under the registration statement.

 

This prospectus supplement relates to the offering of our common stock. Before buying any of the common stock that we are offering, we urge you to carefully read this prospectus supplement, together with the information incorporated by reference as described under the heading “Incorporation by Reference.” These documents contain important information that you should consider when making your investment decision.

 

This prospectus supplement describes the specific details regarding this offering and also adds to and updates information contained in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement, on the one hand, and the information contained in any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. If any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date—for example, a document incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement—the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.

 

We have not, and ACM has not, authorized anyone to provide any information other than that contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, any applicable prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We and ACM take no responsibility for and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements are subject to considerable risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to such statements. In particular, forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus relate to, among other things, our future or assumed financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, business forecasts and plans, strategic plans and objectives, financing plans, customers, products and competitive environment. We caution you that the foregoing list may not include all of the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus.

 

Our forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current assumptions and expectations about future events and trends, which affect or may affect our business, strategy, operations or financial performance. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are made in light of information currently available to us. Our actual financial condition and results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-7 of this prospectus, as well as the risk factors contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the other reports we file with the SEC. You should read this prospectus with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect.

 

Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and, except to the extent required by law or Nasdaq Listing Rules, we undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or other factors.

 

We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights certain information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. The summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. After you read this summary, you should read and consider carefully the entire prospectus and the more detailed information and financial statements and related notes that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. If you invest in our shares, you are assuming a high degree of risk.

 

Overview

 

Through June 13, 2023 of the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we operated three distinct lines of business through separate wholly owned subsidiaries. The first was Verb Direct, LLC, a sales Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) platform for the direct sales industry; the second was Verb Acquisition Co., LLC, which was a sales SaaS platform for the Life Sciences industry and sports teams; and the third is verbMarketplace, LLC, which is a multi-vendor, multi-presenter, livestream social shopping platform known as MARKET.live that combines ecommerce and entertainment.

 

We believe that by focusing all of our resources solely on the development and operation of MARKET.live, our livestream shopping platform, over time we could generate greater shareholder value than we could through the continued operation of our SaaS business platforms. Accordingly, after an extensive, thorough seven-month process to identify a buyer willing to pay the highest price on the most favorable terms for the assets of the SaaS business, managed by a prominent M&A advisory firm, on June 13, 2023 we disposed of all of the operating SaaS assets of Verb Direct, LLC and Verb Acquisition Co., LLC pursuant to an asset purchase agreement in consideration of the sum of $6,500, $4,750 of which was paid in cash by the buyer at the closing of the transaction. Additional payments of $1,750 will be paid by the buyer if certain profitability and revenue targets are met within the next two years as set forth more particularly in the asset purchase agreement. During the seven-month period of the sales process, virtually all of our resources were dedicated to facilitating the sale process and all operating budgets were suspended, including sales and marketing budgets for MARKET.live, in order to preserve cash and minimize reliance on the capital markets until the asset sale process was complete.

 

Our MARKET.live Business

 

MARKET.live is a multivendor social shopping platform for retailers, brands, manufacturers, creators, influencers and entrepreneurs who seek to participate in an open market-style eco-system environment. MARKET.live is akin to a virtual shopping mall, a centralized online destination where shoppers could explore hundreds, and over time thousands, of shoppable stores for their favorite brands, influencers, creators and celebrities, all of whom can host livestream shopping events from their virtual stores that can be seen by all shoppers at the virtual mall. Every store operator can host livestream events, even simultaneously, and over time we expect there will be thousands of such events, across numerous product and service categories, being hosted by people from all over the world, always on – 24/7 - where shoppers could communicate directly with the hosts in real time to comment or ask questions about products through an on-screen chat visible to all shoppers. Through the on-screen chat, shoppers can also communicate directly with each other in real time, invite their friends and family to join them at any of the live shopping events to share the experience, and then simply click on a non-intrusive - in-video overlay to place items in an on-screen shopping cart for purchase – all without interrupting the video. Shoppers can visit any number of other shoppable events to meet up and chat with friends, old and new, and together watch, shop and chat with the hosts, discover new products and services, and become part of an immersive entertaining social shopping experience. Throughout the experience, the shopping cart follows shoppers seamlessly from event to event, shoppable video to shoppable video, host to host, store to store and product to product.

 

S-3
 

 

The MARKET.live business model is a simple but next-level B to B play. It is a multi-vendor platform, with a single follow-me style unified shopping cart, and robust ecommerce capabilities with the tools for consumer brands, big box brick and mortar stores, boutiques, influencers and celebrities to connect with their clients, customers, fans, followers, and prospects by providing a unique, interactive social shopping experience that we believe could keep them coming back and engaged for hours.

 

Among the big differentiators for MARKET.live is that it allows anyone that streams on MARKET.live to simultaneously broadcast their stream (multi-cast or simulcast) over most popular social media sites to reach a substantially larger audience, which is especially attractive for creators and influencers that have large number of followers on other social media platforms.

 

We recently completed development work on new MARKET.live capability that facilitated a deeper integration into the TikTok social media platform that could expose MARKET.live shoppable programming to tens of millions of potential viewers/purchasers.

 

This new capability allows shoppers watching a MARKET.live stream on TikTok to stay on that site and actually check out through that site, eliminating the friction or reluctance of TikTok users to leave their TikTok feed in order to complete their purchase on MARKET.live. Our technology integration allows the purchase data to flow back through MARKET.live and to the individual vendors and stores on MARKET.live seamlessly for fulfillment of the orders.

 

Last fall the Company launched its “Creators on MARKET.live,” a program that allows creators to monetize their content through livestream shopping and personalized storefronts on MARKET.live. This program is only open to those individuals with a large, verifiable social media following. Participants selected for the Creators on MARKET.live program can choose to feature their favorite products from MARKET.live stores and promote and sell them to their fans, followers and customers. The Company has recently launched a similar program on TikTok for TikTok creators and influencers.

 

In the coming weeks, the Company expects to formally launch a new drop ship program on MARKET.live, offered on a subscription basis, designed specifically for those individuals interested in starting their own ecommerce business, who do not yet have a large base of fans or followers. Through this new program, entrepreneurs can quickly and easily establish their own storefronts, essentially their own website, by choosing the products they love from a carefully curated list of products by category (based on their selected subscription package). They can easily import the products into their storefront and launch their own ecommerce business through livestream shopping events broadcast live on MARKET.live and simulcast on other social platforms. Subscribers do not have to purchase inventory and product fulfillment is handled for them for no additional cost. This program represents a very low cost, low risk option for those who want to start their own ecommerce business. The Company is planning a national television commercial campaign to promote this new program.

 

All livestream events are recorded and available to watch in each vendors’ personally branded stores on MARKET.live for those fans, followers and customers to return after the livestream events, 24/7, to browse and purchase any of the featured products. All the recorded livestream videos are indexed for easy browsing and remain shoppable. Depending on the products chosen, participants in the Creator program can earn between 5% and 20% of their gross sales at no cost and no risk to the Creators selected to participate in the program. Entrepreneurs that participate in the dropship programs will pay a fixed monthly fee for access to the products in the program and to maintain their MARKET.live ecommerce storefronts and will also earn a percentage of the sales they generate, which varies based on the subscription package.

 

verbTV will launch as a feature of our MARKET.live platform, serving to draw an audience of people seeking to consume video content that is also interactive and shoppable. We expect this additional audience will also be exposed to and enhance the eco-system of shoppers and retailers on MARKET.live. Over time it is anticipated that verbTV will feature concerts, game shows, sports, including e-sports, sitcoms, podcasts, special events, news, including live events, and other forms of video entertainment that is all interactive and shoppable. verbTV represents an entirely new distribution channel for all forms of content by a new generation of content creators looking for greater freedom to explore the creative possibilities that a native interactive video platform can provide for their audience. We believe content creators may also enjoy greater revenue opportunities through the native ecommerce capabilities the platform provides to sponsors and advertisers who will enjoy real-time monetization, data collection and analytics. Through verbTV, sponsors and advertisers will be able to accurately measure the ROI from their marketing spend, instead of relying on imprecise viewership information traditionally offered to television sponsors and advertisers.

Revenue Generation

 

A description of our principal revenue generating activities is as follows:

 

MARKET.live, launched at the end of July 2022, generates revenue through several sources as follows:

 

  a) All sales run through our ecommerce facility on MARKET.live from which we deduct a platform fee that ranges from 10% to 20% of gross sales, with an average of approximately 15%, depending upon the pricing package the vendors select as well as the product category and profit margins associated with such categories. The revenue is derived from sales generated during livestream events, from sales realized through views of previously recorded live events available in each vendor’s store, as well as from sales of product and merchandise displayed in the vendors’ online stores, all of which are shoppable 24/7.
  b) Produced events. MARKET.live offers fee-based services that range from full production of livestream events, to providing professional hosts and event consulting.
  c) Drop Ship and Creator programs. MARKET.live is expected to generate recurring fee revenue from soon to be launched new drop ship programs for entrepreneurs and its Creator program.
  d) The Company’s recently launched TikTok store and affiliate program.
  e) The MARKET.live site is designed to incorporate sponsorships and other advertising based on typical industry rates.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties discussed below, as well as those under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, as filed with the SEC, and as incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, as the same may be amended, supplemented or superseded by the risks and uncertainties described under similar headings in the other documents that are filed by us after the date hereof and incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. Please also read carefully the section below titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Risks Relating to this Offering

 

If you purchase shares of our common stock sold in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your shares. In addition, we may issue additional equity or convertible debt securities in the future, which may result in additional dilution to investors.

 

The price per share of our common stock being offered may be higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock prior to this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 5,783,133 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $0.166 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 13, 2023, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $960,000, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, new investors in this offering would incur immediate dilution of $0.07 per share. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, see the section entitled “Dilution” below. To the extent outstanding stock options or warrants are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors. In addition, to the extent we need to raise additional capital in the future and we issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for our common stock, our then existing stockholders may experience dilution and the new securities may have rights senior to those of our common stock offered in this offering.

 

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management might not apply our net proceeds in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. We expect to use the net proceeds of this offering general corporate purposes, including working capital. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short- and intermediate term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline. 

 

The actual number of shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.

 

Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver instructions to ACM to sell shares of our common stock at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold through ACM after our instruction will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock during the sales period, the limits we set with ACM in any instruction to sell shares, and the demand for our common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate during this offering, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold or the gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales.

 

S-7
 

 

The common stock offered hereby will be sold in “at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

 

Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

 

Future sales of our common stock could lower our stock price and dilute existing stockholders.

 

We may, in the future, sell additional shares of common stock in subsequent public or private offerings. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of shares of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. In addition, these sales may be dilutive to existing stockholders.

 

A large number of shares may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price of our common stock.

 

All of our shares of common stock sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a result, a substantial number of our shares of common stock may be sold in the public market following this offering, which may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If there are more shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered shares of common stock and sellers remain willing to sell the shares of common stock.

 

S-8
 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We may issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $960,000 from time to time. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time.

 

We expect to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

 

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. Pending the uses described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short- and intermediate-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the price per share you pay in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

 

Our net tangible book value of our common stock as of September 30, 2023 was approximately $1,677,000, or approximately $0.09 per share of common stock based upon 19,332,657 shares outstanding as of such date. Net tangible book value per share is equal to our total tangible assets, less our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

 

After giving effect to the sale of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $960,000 at an assumed offering price of $0.166 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 13, 2023, and after deducting offering commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023 would have been approximately $2,607,000, or $0.10 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.01 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.07 per share to new investors in this offering at the assumed public offering price.

 

The following table illustrates this calculation on a per share basis:

 

Assumed public offering price per share  $0.166 
Net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2023  $0.09 
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to the offering  $0.01 
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to the offering  $0.10 
Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering  $0.07 

 

The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding immediately after this offering is based on 19,332,657 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2023. The number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023 excludes:

 

  2,056,882 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.21 per share;
     
  155,572 shares of common stock issuable upon vesting of restricted stock unit awards with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.00 per share;
     
  12,817,278 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan; and
     
  919,664 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $33.76 per share.

 

The foregoing table does not give effect to the exercise of any outstanding options or the conversion of any outstanding convertible securities of the Company. To the extent these securities, if any, are exercised or converted, there may be further dilution to new investors.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our articles of incorporation and bylaws, as amended, and to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes. 

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which 6,000 shares have been designated Series A Preferred Stock. As of December 14, 2023, we had 19,332,657 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. The following summarizes the rights of holders of our common stock:

 

  a holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon generally by the stockholders and are not entitled to cumulative voting for the election of directors;
     
  subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive lawful dividends as may be declared by our board of directors;
     
  upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive a pro rata portion of all our assets remaining for distribution after satisfaction of all our liabilities and the payment of any liquidation preference on any outstanding shares of our preferred stock;
     
  there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock; and
     
  there are no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights applicable to our common stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our board of directors is authorized, without further approval from our stockholders, to create one or more series of preferred stock, and to designate the rights, privileges, preferences, restrictions, and limitations of any given series of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of restricting dividends payable to holders of our common stock, diluting the voting power of our common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of our common stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control, all without further action by our stockholders. Further, the ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management.

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is VStock Transfer, LLC. The address is 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11598. The telephone number is 855-9VSTOCK.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We have entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, as Sales Agent, under which we may issue and sell over a period of time, and from time to time, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $960,000 through the Sales Agent acting as sales agent or directly to the Sales Agent acting as principal. This prospectus supplement relates to our ability to issue and sell over a period of time, and from time to time, shares of our common stock to or through the Sales Agent pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Sales of the shares to which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relate, if any, may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), the trading market for our common stock, or any other trading market in the Unites States for our common stock, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, directly to the Sales Agent as principal for its account in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, or through a combination of any such methods of sale. To the extent required by Regulation M, the Sales Agent acting as our sales agent will not engage in any transactions that stabilize our common stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement.

 

Upon written instructions from us, the Sales Agent will offer the shares of our common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, on a daily basis or as otherwise agreed upon by us and the Sales Agent. We will designate the maximum amount of shares of our common stock to be sold through the Sales Agent on a daily basis or otherwise determine such maximum amount together with the Sales Agent, subject to certain limitations set forth by the SEC. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of our common stock so designated or determined. We may instruct the Sales Agent not to sell shares of our common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. The Sales Agent may also sell our common stock in negotiated transactions with our prior approval. We or the Sales Agent may suspend the offering of shares of our common stock being made under the Sales Agreement upon proper notice to the other party.

 

For their services as sales agent in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock that may be offered hereby, we will pay the Sales Agent an aggregate fee of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share for any shares sold through it acting as our sales agent. The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such shares. We have agreed to reimburse the Sales Agent for certain of its expenses in an amount not to exceed $30,000, and, thereafter, reasonable fees and expenses of the Sales Agent’s incurred in conjunction of performing legal services related to the Sales Agreement for the Company.

 

The Sales Agent will provide written confirmation to us no later than the opening of the trading day immediately following the day in which shares of common stock are sold by it on our behalf under the Sales Agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on that day, the compensation payable by us to the Sales Agent and the proceeds to us net of such compensation.

 

Settlement for sales of our common stock will occur, unless the parties agree otherwise, on the second business day following the date on which any sales were made in return for payment of the proceeds to us net of compensation paid by us to the Sales Agent. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

 

Unless otherwise required, we will report at least quarterly the number of shares of common stock sold through the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us to the Sales Agent in connection with the sales of common stock.

 

In connection with the sale of common stock on our behalf, the Sales Agent will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation paid to it will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed, under the Sales Agreement, to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agent against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

S-12
 

 

In the ordinary course of its business, the Sales Agent and/or its affiliates may perform investment banking, broker-dealer, financial advisory or other services for us for which it may receive separate fees.

 

We estimate that the total expenses from this offering payable by us, excluding compensation payable to the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $55,000. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, we agreed to reimburse the Sales Agent for the reasonable fees and expenses of its legal counsel incurred in connection with quarterly and annual bring-downs required under the Sales Agreement in an amount not to exceed $2,500 in the aggregate for each such bring-down.

 

The offering of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of $960,000 subject to the Sales Agreement, (2) December 15, 2025 and (3) the termination of the Sales Agreement, pursuant to its terms, by either the Sales Agent or us.

 

The Company and the Sales Agent may in the future agree to add one or more additional sales agents to the offering, in which case the Company will file a further prospectus supplement providing the name of such additional sales agents and any other required information.

 

This summary of the material provisions of the sales agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement, and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement, or the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, are forward-looking statements, and we have attempted to identify such forward-looking statements by terminology including “aims,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goal,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “seeks,” “should,” “suggests,” “targets” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

 

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Our forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current assumptions and expectations of future events and trends, which affect or may affect our business, strategy, operations or financial performance. Although we believe these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are made in light of information currently available to us. Many factors, in addition to the factors described in this prospectus, may materially and adversely affect our results as indicated in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Because of these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements when making an investment decision. You should read this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement, and the documents we incorporate by reference herein and therein, in their entirety and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect.

 

Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made and, except to the extent required by law or the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, we undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or other factors. You should, however, review the risks and uncertainties we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this prospectus. For additional information, refer to the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

 

We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

 

Overview

 

We are a software-as-a-service applications platform developer. Our platform is comprised of a suite of interactive video-based sales enablement business software products marketed on a subscription basis. Our applications, available in both mobile and desktop versions, are offered as a fully integrated suite, as well as on a standalone basis, and include verbCRM, our white-labeled Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) application for large sales-based enterprises; verbTEAMS, our CRM application for small- and medium-sized businesses and solopreneurs; verbLEARN, our Learning Management System application; verbLIVE, our Live Stream eCommerce application; verbPULSE, our artificial intelligence notification application; and verbMAIL, our interactive video sales communication tool integrated with Microsoft Outlook.

 

Our suite of applications can be distinguished from other sales enablement applications because our applications utilize our proprietary interactive video technology as the primary means of communication between sales and marketing professionals and their customers and prospects. Moreover, the proprietary data collection and analytics capabilities of our applications inform our users on their devices in real time, when and for how long their prospects have watched a video, how many times such prospects watched it, and what they clicked on, which allows our users to focus their time and efforts on ‘hot leads’ or interested prospects rather than on those that have not seen such video or otherwise expressed interest in such content. Users can create their hot lead lists by using familiar, intuitive ‘swipe left/swipe right’ on-screen navigation. Our clients report that these capabilities provide for a much more efficient and effective sales process, resulting in increased sales conversion rates. We developed the proprietary patent-pending interactive video technology, as well as several other patent-issued and patent-pending technologies that serve as the unique foundation for all our platform applications.

 

Corporate Information

 

We are a Nevada corporation. Our principal executive and administrative offices are located at 782 South Auto Mall Drive, American Fork, Utah 84003, and our telephone number is (855) 250-2300.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC, each of which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as well as any amendments or updates to our risk factors reflected in our subsequent filings with the SEC, including in any applicable prospectus supplement. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price or value of our securities could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment. For additional information, refer to the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

 

The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

 

This prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference in this prospectus contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks and uncertainties mentioned elsewhere in this prospectus. For more information, refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We intend to use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of our securities, and from the exercise of any warrants issued pursuant hereto, for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

We may set forth additional information regarding the anticipated use of proceeds from the sale of securities we offer under this prospectus in a prospectus supplement relating to the specific offering. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used from any specific offering. As a result, our management will have broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds.

 

Pending the use of the net proceeds, we intend to invest the net proceeds in high-quality, short-term interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit, or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which 6,000 shares have been designated Series A Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2021, we had 72,942,948 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. The following summarizes the rights of holders of our common stock:

 

  a holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon generally by the stockholders and are not entitled to cumulative voting for the election of directors;
     
  subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive lawful dividends as may be declared by our board of directors;
     
  upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive a pro rata portion of all our assets remaining for distribution after satisfaction of all our liabilities and the payment of any liquidation preference on any outstanding shares of our preferred stock;
     
  there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock; and
     
  there are no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights applicable to our common stock.

 

Undesignated Preferred Stock

 

Our board of directors is authorized, without further approval from our stockholders, to create one or more series of preferred stock, and to designate the rights, privileges, preferences, restrictions, and limitations of any given series of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of restricting dividends payable to holders of our common stock, diluting the voting power of our common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of our common stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control, all without further action by our stockholders. Further, the ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Nevada Law and Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Certain provisions of Nevada law, our Articles of Incorporation, and our Bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: (i) an acquisition by means of a tender offer; (ii) an acquisition by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or (iii) the removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that provide for payment of a premium over the then-current trading price for our shares.

 

These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

Undesignated Preferred Stock. The ability of our board of directors, without action by the stockholders, to issue up to 14,994,000 shares of our currently undesignated preferred stock, with voting or other rights or preferences, could impede the success of any attempt to effect a change of control.

 

Stockholder Meetings. Our Bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the chairman of our board of directors, our chief executive officer, our president, or by a majority of the members of our board of directors.

 

Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Our Bylaws allow for any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders to be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

 

Stockholders Not Entitled to Cumulative Voting. Our Bylaws do not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they choose, other than any directors that holders of our preferred stock may, from time to time, be entitled to elect.

 

Nevada Business Combination Statutes. The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the NRS, generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders from engaging in various “combination” transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status or the combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders, and extends beyond the expiration of the two-year period, unless:

 

  the combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or the combination is later approved by a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders; or
     
  if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the two years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (b) the market value per share of common stock on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (c) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher.

 

8

 

 

A “combination” is generally defined to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, with an “interested stockholder” having: (a) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, (c) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation, and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of an interested stockholder.

 

In general, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

 

Nevada Control Share Acquisition Statutes. The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada. The control share statute prohibits an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a target corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but less than a majority, and a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once an acquirer crosses one of the above thresholds, those shares in an offer or acquisition and acquired within 90 days thereof become “control shares” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.

 

A corporation may elect to not be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control share provisions by making an election in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring person has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have not opted out of the control share statutes, and will be subject to these statutes if we are an “issuing corporation” as defined in such statutes.

 

The effect of the Nevada control share statutes is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person, will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting. The Nevada control share statutes, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers.

 

Amendment of Charter Provisions. The amendment of any of the above provisions would require approval by holders of at least a majority of the total voting power of all of our outstanding voting stock.

 

The provisions of Nevada law, our Articles of Incorporation, and our Bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in the composition of our board of directors and management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

 

SoloFire Exchange Agreement

 

In connection with our acquisition of Ascend Certification, LLC, dba SoloFire (“SoloFire”) on September 4, 2020, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with the prior owners of SoloFire whereby we agreed that on or after March 4, 2021, the prior owners of SoloFire can exchange their Class B interests in our acquisition subsidiary, Verb Acquisition Co., LLC, for up to an aggregate of 2,642,159 shares of our common stock.

Equity Line of Credit

 

On January 12, 2022, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Tumim Stone Capital LLC (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor, and the Investor is obligated to purchase, up to $50,000,000 of newly issued shares of our common stock (the “Total Commitment”) from time to time during the term of the agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Total Commitment is inclusive of 607,287 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”), issued to the Investor as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

The Common Stock Purchase Agreement initially precludes us from issuing and selling more than 14,747,065 shares of our common stock, including the Commitment Shares and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes (as defined below), which number of shares equals 19.99% of the number of shares of our common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the agreement, unless we obtain stockholder approval to issue additional shares, or unless certain exceptions apply. In addition, a beneficial ownership limitation in the agreement initially limits us from directing the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock if such purchases would result in the Investor beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock (subject to an increase to 9.99% at the Investor’s option upon at least 61 calendar days’ notice).

 

Unless earlier terminated, the Common Stock Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate upon the earliest of (i) the expiration of the 36-month period following the January 12, 2022, (ii) the Investor’s purchase or receipt of the Total Commitment worth of our common stock, or (iii) the occurrence of certain other events set forth in the agreement. We have the right to terminate the agreement at any time after commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon five trading days’ prior written notice to the Investor. The Investor has the right to terminate the agreement upon five trading days’ prior written notice to us, but only upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the agreement.

 

Outstanding Convertible Notes

 

On January 12, 2022, we also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the holders named therein (collectively, the “Note Holders”) providing for the sale and issuance of an aggregate original principal amount of $6,300,000 in convertible notes due 2023 (each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”). We received $6,000,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes. The Notes bear interest of 6.0% per annum, have an original issue discount of 5.0%, mature 12 months from the closing date, and have an initial conversion price of $3.00, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as set forth in the Note.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement initially precludes us from issuing and selling more than 14,747,065 shares of our common stock, including the shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, which number of shares equals 19.99% of the number of shares of our common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the agreement, unless we obtain stockholder approval to issue additional shares, or unless certain exceptions apply.

 

Outstanding Warrants

 

Listed Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

Exercisability. The warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and at any time during the five-year period following the date of issuance. The warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below).

 

Cashless Exercise. In the event that a registration statement covering shares of our common stock underlying the warrants is not available for the resale of such shares, the holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise the warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of our common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the warrant. In no event will we be required to make any cash payments or net cash settlement in lieu of issuing shares of our common stock underlying the warrants.

 

10

 

 

Exercise Price. The initial exercise price per share of our common stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrants is $3.443. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits stock combinations, reclassifications, or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distribution of assets, including cash, stock, or other property to our stockholders.

 

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the warrants may be transferred at the option of the holders upon surrender of the warrants together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

Exchange Listing. The warrants are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “VERBW.” We cannot provide assurances that a trading market for the warrants will be maintained.

 

Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the warrants are outstanding, (a) we consolidate or merge with or into another corporation and we are not the surviving corporation, (b) we sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, convey, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, (c) any purchase offer, tender offer, or exchange offer (whether by us or another individual or entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of shares of our common stock are permitted to sell, tender, or exchange their shares of our common stock for our other securities, cash, or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, (d) we effect any reclassification or recapitalization of shares of our common stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the shares of our common stock are converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash, or property, or (e) we consummate a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination with another person or entity whereby such other person or entity acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock (each, a “Common Stock Purchase Warrant Fundamental Transaction”), then upon any subsequent exercise of the warrants, the holders thereof will have the right to receive the same amount and kind of securities, cash, or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Common Stock Purchase Warrant Fundamental Transaction if it had been immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of warrant shares then issuable upon exercise of the warrant, and any additional consideration payable as part of the transaction.

 

Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of the warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the warrant.

 

2019 Warrants

 

On August 14, 2019, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with certain purchasers named therein (the “Preferred Purchasers”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 6,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Preferred Purchasers in exchange for gross proceeds of $5,030,000. In connection with the offering, we granted warrants to the Preferred Purchasers (the “2019 Warrants”) exercisable for up to 3,245,162 shares of common stock.

 

As of December 31, 2021, there were 1,462,901 shares of our common stock underlying the 2019 warrants, which have a per-share exercise price of $1.10 per share.

 

Exercisability. The warrants are exercisable from and after six months after the date of issuance and at any time during the five-year period from the date of issuance. The warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below).

 

Cashless Exercise. In the event that a registration statement covering shares of our common stock underlying the warrants is not available for the resale of such shares, the holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise the warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of our common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the warrant. In no event will we be required to make any cash payments or net cash settlement in lieu of issuing shares of our common stock underlying the warrants.

 

11

 

 

Exercise Price. The initial exercise price per share of our common stock purchasable upon exercise of the 2019 warrants was $1.88. The exercise price is subject to adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distribution of assets, including cash, stock, or other property to our stockholders. If we or any subsidiary, at any time while the 2019 Warrants are outstanding, sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price less than the exercise price then in effect, then the exercise price shall be reduced to the lower exercise price then in effect. The exercise price per share was adjusted to $1.10 following the completion of a private placement in February 2020 (see the section entitled “Outstanding Warrants - 2020 Warrants”). If we, at any time while the 2019 Warrants are outstanding, issue rights, options, or warrants to all holders of common stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a price per share less than the volume weighted average price on the record date mentioned below, then the exercise price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options, or warrants plus the number of additional shares of common stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options, or warrants plus the number of shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by us in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such volume weighted average price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options, or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options, or warrants.

 

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the warrants may be transferred at the option of the holders upon surrender of the warrants together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

Exchange Listing. The 2019 Warrants are not listed for trading on any securities exchange and we do not intend to apply for listing.

 

Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the 2019 Warrants are outstanding, (a) we consolidate or merge with or into another corporation and we are not the surviving corporation, (b) we sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, convey, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, (c) any purchase offer, tender offer, or exchange offer (whether by us or another individual or entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of shares of our common stock are permitted to sell, tender, or exchange their shares of our common stock for our other securities, cash, or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, (d) we effect any reclassification or recapitalization of shares of our common stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the shares of our common stock are converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash, or property, or (e) we consummate a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination with another person or entity whereby such other person or entity acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, each, a “2019 Warrant Fundamental Transaction,” then upon any subsequent exercise of the warrants, the holders thereof will have the right to receive the same amount and kind of securities, cash, or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such transaction if it had been immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of warrant shares then issuable upon exercise of the warrant, and any additional consideration payable as part of the transaction. In the event of a 2019 Warrant Fundamental Transaction, we or any successor entity shall, at the holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the 2019 Warrant Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable transaction), purchase the warrant from the holder by paying to the holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the 2019 Warrant) of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant on the date of the consummation of such transaction.

 

Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of the warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the warrant.

2020 Warrants

 

In connection with a private placement of our common stock in February 2020, the Preferred Purchasers who, as of February 7, 2020, continued to own shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (the “Continuing Holders”) issued pursuant to the SPA (a) waived their respective rights to participate in the private placement, and (b) declined to accept the price protection rights to which they otherwise were entitled as holders of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. In connection with the waiver, we granted to the Continuing Holders a five-year common stock purchase warrant (“2020 Warrants”), the terms of which are substantially similar to the terms of our 2019 Warrants, provided that the 2020 Warrants had an initial per-share exercise price of $1.55.

 

As of December 31, 2021, there were 2,161,926 shares of our common stock underlying the 2020 Warrants, which have a per-share exercise price of $1.10 per share.

 

Outstanding Equity Awards

 

As of December 31, 2021, we had 5,404,223 shares of our common stock underlying outstanding stock options, having a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $1.72 per share,10,984,740 stock purchase warrants having a weighted-average exercise price of $2.67 per share and 1,821,833 restricted stock awards having a weighted-average grant date fair value of $1.41 issued under our equity incentive plans.

 

Forum Selection

 

Our Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the state and federal courts in the State of Nevada shall be the exclusive forum for any litigation relating to our internal affairs, including, without limitation: (a) any derivative action brought on our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim for breach of fiduciary duty to us or our stockholders by any of our current or former officers, directors, employees or agents, or (c) any action against us or any of our current or former officers, directors, employees or agents arising pursuant to any provision of the NRS, the articles of incorporation, or the bylaws. For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusive forum provision described above does not apply to any claims arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

 

We may offer and sell, from time to time, debt securities in one or more series, as either senior or subordinated debt or as senior or subordinated convertible debt. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any debt securities offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. Unless the context requires otherwise, whenever we refer to the indenture, we also are referring to any supplemental indentures that specify the terms of a particular series of debt securities.

 

We will issue the debt securities under the indenture that we will enter into with the trustee named in the indenture. The indenture will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). We have filed the form of indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and supplemental indentures and forms of debt securities containing the terms of the debt securities being offered will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will be incorporated by reference from reports that we file with the SEC.

 

The following summary of material provisions of the debt securities and the indenture is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indenture (or supplemental indenture) applicable to a particular series of debt securities. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as the complete indenture (as supplemented by any applicable supplemental indentures) that contains the terms of the debt securities.

 

General

 

The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. It provides that we may issue debt securities up to the principal amount that we may authorize and may be in any currency or currency unit that we may designate. Except for the limitations on consolidation, merger and sale of all or substantially all of our assets contained in the indenture, the terms of the indenture do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to give holders of any debt securities protection against changes in our operations, financial condition or transactions.

 

We may issue the debt securities issued under the indenture as “discount securities,” which means they may be sold at a discount to their stated principal amount. These debt securities, as well as other debt securities that are not issued at a discount, may be issued with “original issue discount” (“OID”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of interest payment and other characteristics or terms of the debt securities. Material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to debt securities issued with OID will be described in more detail in any applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Whenever debt securities are to be issued and sold pursuant to this prospectus, we will file a prospectus supplement relating to that offer and sale which will specify (in each case to the extent applicable):

 

  the title of the series of debt securities;
     
  any limit upon the aggregate principal amount that may be issued;
     
  the maturity date or dates;
     
  the form of the debt securities of the series;
     
  the applicability of any guarantees;
     
  whether or not the debt securities will be secured or unsecured, and the terms of any secured debt;
     
  whether the debt securities rank as senior debt, senior subordinated debt, subordinated debt or any combination thereof, and the terms of any subordination;

 

14

 

 

  if the price at which such debt securities will be issued is a price other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount thereof payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof, or if applicable, the portion of the principal amount of such debt securities that is convertible into another security or the method by which any such portion shall be determined;
     
  the interest rate or rates, which may be fixed or variable, or the method for determining the rate and the date interest will begin to accrue, the dates interest will be payable and the regular record dates for interest payment dates or the method for determining such dates;
     
  our right, if any, to defer payment of interest and the maximum length of any such deferral period;
     
  if applicable, the date or dates after which, or the period or periods during which, and the price or prices at which, we may, at our option, redeem the series of debt securities pursuant to any optional or provisional redemption provisions and the terms of those redemption provisions;
     
  the date or dates, if any, on which, and the price or prices at which we are obligated, pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund or analogous fund provisions or otherwise, to redeem, or at the holder’s option to purchase, the series of debt securities and the currency or currency unit in which the debt securities are payable;
     
  the denominations in which we will issue the series of debt securities;
     
  whether the debt securities of the series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of a global security or securities; the terms and conditions, if any, upon which such global security or securities may be exchanged in whole or in part for other individual securities; and the depositary for such global security or securities;
     
  if applicable, the provisions relating to conversion or exchange of any debt securities of the series and the terms and conditions upon which such debt securities will be so convertible or exchangeable, including the conversion or exchange price, as applicable, or how it will be calculated and may be adjusted, any mandatory or optional conversion or exchange features, the applicable conversion or exchange period and the manner of settlement for any conversion or exchange;
     
  if other than the full principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount of debt securities of the series which shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof;
     
  additions to or changes in the covenants applicable to the particular debt securities being issued, including, among others, the consolidation, merger or sale covenant;
     
  additions to or changes in the events of default with respect to the securities and any change in the right of the trustee or the holders to declare the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, with respect to such securities to be due and payable;
     
  additions to or changes in the provisions relating to satisfaction and discharge of the indenture;
     
  additions to or changes in the provisions relating to the modification of the indenture both with and without the consent of holders of debt securities issued under the indenture;
     
  whether interest will be payable in cash or additional debt securities at our or the holders’ option and the terms and conditions upon which the election may be made;
     
  any restrictions on transfer, sale or assignment of the debt securities of the series;

 

15

 

 

  terms, if applicable, related to the auction or remarketing of the debt securities and any security for the obligations related to such debt securities;
     
  additions to or changes in or deletions to the provisions relating to covenant defeasance and legal defeasance;
     
  terms and conditions, if any, upon which we shall pay amounts in addition to the stated interest, premium, if any and principal amounts of the debt securities of the series to any securityholder that is not a “United States person” for federal tax purposes; and
     
  any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the debt securities, any other additions or changes in the provisions of the indenture, and any terms that may be required by us or advisable under applicable laws or regulations.

 

Conversion or Exchange Rights

 

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock, our preferred stock, our other debt securities, or our warrants. We will include provisions as to settlement upon conversion or exchange and whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our common stock, our preferred stock, our other debt securities, or our warrants that the holders of the series of debt securities receive upon conversion or exchange would be subject to adjustment.

 

Consolidation, Merger or Sale

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the indenture will not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets.

 

Events of Default under the Indenture

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the following are events of default under the indenture with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

 

  if we fail to pay any installment of interest on any series of debt securities, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by us in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental thereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;
     
  if we fail to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, on any series of debt securities as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to such series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such debt securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental thereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any;
     
  if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the debt securities or the indenture, other than a covenant specifically relating to another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such is a notice of default thereunder, from the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and
     
  if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur.

 

16

 

 

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series occurs and is continuing, other than an event of default specified in the last bullet point above, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, by notice to us in writing, and to the trustee if notice is given by such holders, may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, due and payable immediately. If an event of default specified in the last bullet point above occurs with respect to us, the principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, of each issue of debt securities then outstanding shall be due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the trustee or any holder.

 

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of an affected series may waive any default or event of default with respect to the series and its consequences, except defaults or events of default regarding payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, unless we have cured the default or event of default in accordance with the indenture. Any waiver shall cure the default or event of default.

 

Subject to the terms of the indenture, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:

 

the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and
   
subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.

 

A holder of the debt securities of any series will have the right to institute a proceeding under the indenture or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies only if:

 

the holder has given written notice to the trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;
   
the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred by the trustee in compliance with the request; and
   
the trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series other conflicting directions within 90 days after the notice, request and offer.

 

We will periodically file statements with the trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the indenture.

 

Modification of Indenture; Waiver

 

We and the trustee may change an indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters:

 

to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture or in the debt securities of any series;
   
to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities;

 

17

 

 

to add to our covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities, to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an event of default or to surrender any right or power conferred upon us in the indenture;
   
to add to, delete from or revise the conditions, limitations, and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, or purposes of issue, authentication and delivery of debt securities, as set forth in the indenture;
   
to make any change that does not adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series in any material respect;
   
to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the debt securities of any series as provided above in the section entitled “Description of Debt Securities—General” to establish the form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of the indenture or any series of debt securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of debt securities;
   
to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under any indenture by a successor trustee; or
   
to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

 

In addition, under the indenture, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series that is affected. However, unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we and the trustee may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

 

extending the fixed maturity of any debt securities of any series;
   
reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or reducing any premium payable upon the redemption of any series of any debt securities; or
   
reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver.

 

Discharge

 

The indenture provides that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for specified obligations, including obligations to:

 

provide for payment;
   
register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;
   
replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;
   
pay principal of and premium and interest on any debt securities of the series;
   
maintain an office or agency;
   
maintain paying agencies;

 

18

 

 

hold monies for payment in trust;
   
recover excess money held by the trustee;
   
compensate and indemnify the trustee; and
   
appoint any successor trustee.

 

In order to exercise our rights to be discharged, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, any premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.

 

Form, Exchange and Transfer

 

We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indenture provides that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), or another depositary named by us and identified in the applicable prospectus supplement with respect to that series. To the extent the debt securities of a series are issued in global form and as book-entry, a description of terms relating to any book entry securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

 

Subject to the terms of the indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange, we will impose no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.

 

We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

 

If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

 

issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or
   
register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.

 

19

 

 

Information Concerning the Trustee

 

The trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under an indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the trustee must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indenture at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.

 

Payment and Paying Agents

 

Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.

 

We will pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments by check that we will mail to the holder or by wire transfer to certain holders. Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the trustee as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

 

All money we pay to a paying agent or the trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the debt security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

 

Governing Law

 

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 is applicable.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

We may offer and sell, from time to time, warrants for the purchase of shares of our common stock, shares of our preferred stock, debt securities and/or units. We may issue warrants independently or together with common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from those securities. If we issue warrants, they will be evidenced by warrant agreements or warrant certificates issued under one or more warrant agreements, which will be contracts between us and the holders of the warrants or an agent for the holders of the warrants. The forms of warrant agreements or warrant certificates, as applicable, relating to the warrants will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will be incorporated by reference from reports that we file with the SEC.

 

The following summary of material provisions of the warrants and warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the warrant agreement and warrant certificate applicable to a particular series of warrants. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement related to the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as the complete warrant agreements and warrant certificates that contain the terms of the warrants.

 

Whenever warrants are to be issued and sold pursuant to this prospectus, we will file a prospectus supplement relating to that offer and sale which will specify (in each case as applicable):

 

  the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase such shares, and the price at which such number of shares may be purchased upon such exercise;
     
  the designation, stated value and terms (including, without limitation, liquidation, dividend, conversion and voting rights) of the series of preferred stock purchasable upon exercise of warrants to purchase preferred stock;
     
  the principal amount of debt securities that may be purchased upon exercise of a debt warrant and the exercise price for the warrants;
     
  the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the related common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and/or units will be separately transferable;
     
  the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants;
     
  the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire; and
     
  any additional terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange, exercise and settlement of the warrants.

 

Each warrant will entitle its holder to purchase the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock, the principal amount of debt securities, and/or the number of units at the exercise price set forth in (or calculable as set forth in) the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

 

A holder of warrant certificates may exchange them for new warrant certificates of different denominations, present them for registration of transfer, and exercise them as indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Until any warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock are exercised, the holders of the warrants will not have any rights of holders of the underlying common stock or preferred stock, including any voting rights or any rights to receive dividends or payments upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up on the common stock or preferred stock, if any. Until any warrants to purchase debt securities are exercised, the holder of the warrants will not have any rights of holders of the debt securities that can be purchased upon exercise, including any rights to receive payments of principal, premium or interest on the underlying debt securities, or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture.

 

21

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may offer and sell, from time to time, units comprised of two or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination, which may or may not be separable from one another. If we issue units, they will be evidenced by unit agreements or unit certificates issued under one or more unit agreements, which will be contracts between us and the holders of the units or an agent for the holders of the units. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date. The forms of unit agreements or unit certificates, as applicable, relating to the units will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will be incorporated by reference from reports that we file with the SEC.

 

The following summary of material provisions of the units and unit agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the unit agreements applicable to the units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units.

 

Whenever units are to be issued and sold pursuant to this prospectus, we will file a prospectus supplement relating to that offer and sale which will specify (in each case as applicable):

 

the title of the series of units;
   
identification and description of the separate securities comprising the units;
   
the price or prices at which the units will be issued;
   
the date, if any, on and after which the securities comprising the units will be separately transferable; and
   
any other terms of the units and their securities.

 

Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security.

 

22

 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell our securities from time to time in any manner permitted by the Securities Act, including any one or more of the following ways:

 

through agents;
   
to or through underwriters;
   
to or through broker-dealers (acting as agent or principal);
   
in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise; and/or
   
directly to purchasers, through a specific bidding or auction process or otherwise.

 

The securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

 

Offers to purchase offered securities may be solicited by agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us will be set forth, in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a reasonable best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. Any agent may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, of the offered securities so offered and sold.

 

We will set forth in a prospectus supplement the terms of the offering of our securities, including:

 

the name or names of any agents, underwriters or dealers;
   
the type of securities being offered;
   
the purchase price of our securities being offered and the net proceeds we expect to receive from the sale;
   
any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;
   
any agency fees or underwriting discounts and commissions and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;
   
the public offering price;
   
any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
   
any securities exchanges on which such securities may be listed.

 

If offered securities are sold to the public by means of an underwritten offering, either through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by the managing underwriters, we will execute an underwriting agreement with an underwriter or underwriters, and the names of the specific managing underwriter or underwriters, as well as any other underwriters, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. In addition, the terms of the transaction, including commissions, discounts and any other compensation of the underwriters and dealers, if any, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, which prospectus supplement will be used by the underwriters to make resales of the offered securities. If underwriters are utilized in the sale of the offered securities, the offered securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including:

 

transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other trading market where the securities may be traded;

 

23

 

 

in the over-the-counter market;
   
in negotiated transactions; or
   
under delayed delivery contracts or other contractual commitments.

 

We may grant to the underwriters options to purchase additional offered securities to cover over-allotments, if any, at the public offering price with additional underwriting discounts or commissions, as may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we grant any over-allotment option, the terms of the over-allotment option will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.

 

We may indemnify agents, underwriters and dealers against specified liabilities, including liabilities incurred under the Securities Act, or to contribution by us to payments they may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. Agents, underwriters or dealers, or their respective affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us or our respective affiliates, in the ordinary course of business.

 

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, each class or series of securities will be a new issue with no established trading market, other than our common stock, which is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We may elect to list any other class or series of securities on any exchange and, in the case of our common stock, on any additional exchange. However, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will not be obligated to do so. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in a class or series of securities, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for any of the offered securities.

 

Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

 

To comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities offered by this prospectus will be offered and sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

 

In compliance with guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the maximum consideration or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker dealer may not exceed 8% of the aggregate amount of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.
