Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 28, 2025, Verb Technology Company, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Binding Term Sheet (the “Binding Term Sheet”) with Lyvecom, Inc. (“Lyvecom”) and the shareholders of Lyvecom (the “Lyvecom Shareholders”) to acquire all the outstanding capital stock of Lyvecom. Lyvecom is AI-driven video commerce platform, a comprehensive description of which is set forth in the Company’s press release dated March 4, 2025, annexed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The purchase price for the shares of capital stock of Lyvecom is $3,000,000 in cash, the repayment of $1,125,000 to certain investors in Lyvecom’s Simple Agreement for Future Equity (S.A.F.E.) instruments, the payment of $100,000 to a third party to satisfy his existing loan to Lyvecom, and the issuance shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares’) having a value of $1,000,000 on the closing date; provided the number of Shares to be issued may not exceed 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on such date (the “Cap”). The Binding Term Sheet provides that in the event, as a result of the Cap, the Shares to be issued to the Lyvecom Shareholders on the closing date shall have a value of less than $1,000,000, the shortfall will be paid by the Company to the Lyvecom Shareholders in cash. The Binding Term Sheet also provides for an earn-out payment to the Lyvecom Shareholders of up to an additional $3,000,000 in cash over a 24-month earn-out period based on various performance metrics.

 

The Binding Term Sheet provides that the parties will use their best efforts to enter into one or more definitive agreements that incorporate all of the terms of the Binding Term Sheet and that pursuant to the definitive agreements the parties will consummate the transaction upon completion of Lyvecom’s audit for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the satisfaction of the other conditions to closing to be set forth herein.

 

If the transaction is not consummated by June 30, 2025, then either Company or Lyvecom have the right to terminate the Binding Term Sheet by written notice to the other; provided, that if the reason the transaction has not been consummated is because Lyvecom shall have failed to deliver its audited financial statements to the Company on or before May 30, 2025, then Lyvecom will reimburse the audit fees incurred by the Company in respect of such audit, which reimbursement may be made by providing a 100% credit to the Company in the amount of the audit fees against the monthly fees otherwise payable by the Company to Lyvecom pursuant to an existing services agreement for interactive video content between the parties. The existing services agreement is terminated upon the closing of the transaction.

 

In connection with the transaction, the Binding Term Sheet provides that the Company will enter into a two-year employment agreement with Maxwell Drut serve as MARKET.live’s Chief Technology Officer.
