VERB Regains Nasdaq Listing Compliance
2024年10月28日 - 9:30PM
Verb Technology Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: VERB)
("VERB" or the "Company"), the company behind
MARKET.live, a leading livestream social shopping
platform, and
GO FUND YOURSELF!, a TV show and
innovative new platform disrupting the crowd funding industry,
today announced that on October 23, 2024, the Company received a
letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the Company had
regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00
per share for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market, as set
forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
Separately, the Company today announces that it has begun an
investigation of apparent price manipulation in the trading of its
shares following the Company’s announcement of a stockholder
approved reverse stock split.
On October 4, 2024, the Company announced that its stockholders
had voted to authorize its Board to implement a 1-for-200 reverse
stock split in order to retain the Company’s Nasdaq listing and
that the shares would begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on
October 9, 2024.
Prior to the foregoing announcement, the Company estimates that
there were approximately 40,000 beneficial owners of the Company’s
stock. Assuming every single shareholder was entitled to a round-up
share, which is highly unlikely, that would mean the Company would
issue 40,000 shares to address any stockholders left with a
fractional share following the reverse split. However, post-split,
certain recently identified brokerage firms and clearing houses
have requested roundup shares totaling more than 260,000 shares of
the Company's common stock - notwithstanding the fact that the
Company’s total public float immediately post-split was less than
800,000.
Not coincidentally, the Company became aware of a significant
increase in short positions in its stock at or around the same time
– and around the same number of round-up shares as those requested
by these brokerages and clearing houses.
And VERB is not the only company who has been subject to this
same apparent manipulation. The Company knows of at least two other
companies who are experiencing the same thing. The Company’s
management is in communication with leadership at other affected
companies and is seeking to coordinate efforts while actively
pursuing the engagement of securities fraud counsel to investigate
the facts, determine if there has been illicit activity affecting
the Company, and if so, moving aggressively to hold those
responsible accountable through swift private legal action as well
as through the intervention of securities regulators.
“Do not underestimate our resolve to protect our company and our
stockholders,” stated Rory J. Cutaia, VERB Chairman & CEO. “For
those of you waiting to receive your 260,000 round-up shares,
here’s some advice, don’t hold your breath.”
