Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations

 

On August 19, 2020, the board of directors of Verb Technology Company, Inc. (the “Company”) established that the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”) will be held on Friday, October 16, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. PDT virtually by means of remote communication. The record date for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the 2020 Annual Meeting shall be the close of business on Wednesday, August 19, 2020. Because the date of the 2020 Annual Meeting differs by more than thirty days from the anniversary date of the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”), which was held on December 20, 2019, the deadlines for any stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and for any stockholder nomination or proposal outside of Rule 14a-8, as listed in the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to 2019 Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 13, 2019, are no longer applicable. Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and Rule 14a-5(f) of the Exchange Act, the Company is hereby providing notice of the revised deadlines for such proposals by means of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

To be considered for inclusion in this year’s proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting, stockholder proposals must be submitted in writing by September 3, 2020. In addition to complying with this deadline, stockholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting must also comply with the Bylaws and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. Additionally, any stockholder who intends to submit a proposal regarding a director nomination or who intends to submit a proposal regarding any other matter of business at the 2020 Annual Meeting to be included in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting must also ensure that notice of any such nomination or proposal (including any additional information specified in the Bylaws) is received by the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices on or before the close of business on September 3, 2020. The September 3, 2020 deadline will also apply in determining whether notice of a stockholder proposal is timely for purposes of exercising discretionary voting authority with respect to proxies under Rule 14a-4(c)(1) of the Exchange Act.

 

Any stockholder proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials, notice of proposed business to be brought before the 2020 Annual Meeting or director nomination should be sent to the Company’s Secretary at Verb Technology Company, Inc., 2210 Newport Boulevard, Suite 200, Newport Beach, California 92663, Attention: Rory J. Cutaia.
