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 (the “Acquisition”). On April 11, 2025, the Company, Lyvecom and the Lyvecom Shareholders entered into a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement with respect to the Acquisition that incorporated the terms of the Binding Term Sheet (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Acquisition closed on April 11, 2025. The purchase price paid for the shares of capital stock of Lyvecom was $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 Lyvecom related party to satisfy an existing loan to Lyvecom, and the issuance of 184,812 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Restricted Shares”) having a value of $1,000,000 on the closing date based on a 30-day volume weighted average price of approximately $5.41 per share. The Restricted Shares are subject to a lock-up agreement and a leak-out agreement. The Purchase Agreement 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 Lyvecom’s achievement of various performance metrics.
Lyvecom is an AI-driven video commerce platform.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of Lyvecom, the Lyvecom Shareholders and the Company. Subject to certain customary limitations, Lyvecom and the Lyvecom Shareholders have agreed to indemnify the Company and its officers and directors and the Company has agreed to indemnify the Lyvecom Shareholders against certain losses related to, among other things, breaches of their respective representations and warranties, and the breach and nonfulfillment of certain covenants or other agreements under the Purchase Agreement.
The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding Lyvecom, the Lyvecom Shareholders and the Company, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company’s periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
