The Company was given until April 30, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. On May 1, 2024, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the Company had been granted an additional 180-day grace period, or until October 28, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

On August 6, 2024, the Company received notice from the Staff indicating that the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below $0.10 per share for the 10-consecutive trading day period ended August 5, 2024 and, accordingly, the Company is subject to the provisions contemplated under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the “Low Priced Stock Rule”) and its securities are subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

On August 12, 2024, the Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which such request automatically stays any further action by Nasdaq at least until the hearing is held and the expiration of any extension period that may be granted by the Panel. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “VERB” pending completion of the hearing process. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or that the Company will be able meet the continued listing requirements during any compliance period that may be granted by the Panel.

On August 2, 2024, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A in connection with the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders scheduled for September 26, 2024. On August 6, 2024 the Company filed an amended proxy statement on Schedule PRER14A. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule on or before September 26, 2024, then at the annual meeting, the Company intends to seek the approval of its stockholders to implement a reverse stock split in the range within a range of one-for-five (1-for-5) to a maximum of a one-for-two hundred (1-for-200). Upon receipt of the requisite approval of its stockholders, the Company intends to expeditiously implement the reverse stock split to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s bid price requirement.
