Our
Business
Overview
We
are a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) applications platform developer. Our platform is comprised of a suite of
interactive video-based sales enablement business software products marketed on a subscription basis. Our applications, available in
both mobile and desktop versions, are offered as a fully integrated suite, as well as on a standalone basis, and include verbCRM,
our white-labelled Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) application for large sales-based enterprises; verbTEAMS,
our CRM application for small-and medium-sized businesses and solopreneurs; verbLEARN, our Learning Management System application,
verbLIVE, our Live Stream eCommerce application, verbPULSE, our artificial intelligence notification application, and verbMAIL, our
interactive video sales communication tool integrated with Microsoft Outlook.
Our
Technology
Our
suite of applications can be distinguished from other sales enablement applications because our applications utilize our proprietary
interactive video technology as the primary means of communication between sales and marketing professionals and their customers and
prospects. Moreover, the proprietary data collection and analytics capabilities of our applications inform our users on their devices
in real time, when and for how long their prospects have watched a video, how many times such prospects watched it, and what they clicked
on, which allows our users to focus their time and efforts on ‘hot leads’ or interested prospects rather than on those that
have not seen such video or otherwise expressed interest in such content. Users can create their hot lead lists by using familiar, intuitive
‘swipe left/swipe right’ on-screen navigation. Our clients report that these capabilities provide for a much more efficient
and effective sales process, resulting in increased sales conversion rates. We developed the proprietary patent-pending interactive video
technology, as well as several other patent-issued and patent-pending technologies that serve as the unique foundation for all our platform
applications.
Our
Products
verbCRM
combines the capabilities of CRM lead-generation, content management, and in-video ecommerce capabilities in an intuitive, yet powerful
tool for both inexperienced as well as highly skilled sales professionals. verbCRM allows users to quickly and easily create, distribute,
and post videos to which they can add a choice of on-screen clickable icons which, when clicked, allow viewers to respond to the user’s
call-to-action in real-time, in the video, while the video is playing, without leaving or stopping the video. For example, our technology
allows a prospect or customer to click on a product they see featured in a video and impulse buy it, or to click on a calendar icon in
the video to make an appointment with a salesperson, among many other novel features and functionalities designed to eliminate or reduce
friction from the sales process for our users. The verbCRM app is designed to be easy to use and navigate and takes little time and
training for a user to begin using the app effectively. It usually takes less than four minutes for a novice user to create an interactive
video from our app. Users can add interactive icons to pre-existing videos, as well as to newly created videos shot with practically
any mobile device. verbCRM interactive videos can be distributed via email, text messaging, chat app, or posted to popular social media
directly and easily from our app. No software download is required to view Verb interactive videos on virtually any mobile or desktop
device, including smart TVs.
verbLEARN
is an interactive, video-based learning management system that incorporates all of the clickable in-video technology featured in
our verbCRM application and adapts them for use by educators for video-based education. verbLEARN is used by enterprises seeking to educate
a large sales team or a customer base about new products, or elicit feedback about existing products. It also incorporates Verb’s
proprietary data collection and analytics capabilities that inform users in real time when and for how long the viewers watched the video,
how many times they watched it, and what they clicked on, in addition to adding gamification features that enhance the learning aspects
of the application.
verbLIVE
builds on popular video-based platforms such as Facebook Live, Zoom, WebEx, and Go2Meeting, among others, by adding Verb’s
proprietary interactive in-video ecommerce capabilities – including an in-video Shopify shopping cart integrated for Shopify account
holders - to our own live stream video broadcasting application. verbLIVE is a next-generation live stream platform that allows hosts
to utilize a variety of novel sales-driving features, including placing interactive icons on-screen that appear on the screens of all
viewers, providing in-video click-to-purchase capabilities for products or services featured in the live video broadcast, in real-time,
driving friction-free selling. verbLIVE also provides the host with real-time viewer engagement data and interaction analytics. verbLIVE
is entirely browser-based, allowing it to function easily and effectively on all devices without requiring the host or the viewers to
download software, and is secured through end-to-end encryption.
verbPULSE is a business/augmented
intelligence notification-based sales enablement platform feature set that tracks users’ interactions with current and prospective
customers and then helps coach users by telling them what to do next in order to close the sale, virtually automating the selling process.
verbTEAMS
is our interactive, video-based CRM for small-and medium-sized businesses and solopreneurs. verbTEAMS also incorporates verbLIVE
as a bundled application. verbTEAMS features self-sign-up, self-onboarding, self-configuring, content management system capabilities,
user level administrative capabilities, and high-quality analytics capabilities in both mobile and desktop platforms that sync with one
another. It also has a built-in one-click sync capability with Salesforce.
We continue to invest in the future
of interactive livestreaming. Following are some of our recent initiatives:
MARKETPLACE is a centralized,
immersive and social online destination where shoppers will be able to explore shoppable livestream events hosted worldwide 24/7 across
numerous product and service categories. Through MARKETPLACE, which will incorporate our verbLIVE Attribution technology, shoppers will
be able to communicate with hosts and ask questions about products in real-time through an on-screen chat visible to all shoppers, and
invite friends and family to share in their shopping experience. Shoppers will be able to click on an unintrusive in-video overlay to
place items in an on-screen shopping cart for purchase without interrupting the video. Throughout the experience, the shopping cart follows
shoppers seamlessly from event to event, shoppable video to shoppable video, host to host, product to product. We believe the tools MARKETPLACE
will offer will make it an attractive platform for big box retail, boutiques, and celebrities, as well as for their customers and followers.
verbTV is an online destination
for shoppable entertainment where viewers will be able to click on-screen to purchase featured products and services in lieu of viewing
traditional advertisements. VerbTV will feature commercial-free television content, such as concerts, game shows, sports and e-sports,
sitcoms, podcasts, special events, news, live events, and other forms of video entertainment, all of which will be interactive and shoppable.
In addition to attracting viewers through our innovative approach to advertising, we believe the native ecommerce capabilities, real-time
monetization, data collection and analytical tools offered by the platform will attract producers, content creators, sponsors, and advertisers
alike.
Verb
Partnerships and Integrations
verbMAIL
for Microsoft Outlook is a product of our partnership with Microsoft and is available as an add-in to Microsoft Outlook for Outlook
and Office 365 subscribers. verbMAIL allows users to create interactive videos seamlessly within Outlook by clicking the verbMAIL icon
in the Outlook toolbar. The videos are automatically added to an email and can be sent easily through Outlook using the user’s
contacts they already have in Outlook. The application allows users to easily track viewer engagement and together with other features
represents an effective sales tool available for all Outlook users worldwide. Currently offered without charge, a subscription-based
paid version with a suite of enhanced features for sales and marketing professionals is slated for release later this year.
verbMAIL
for Google Gmail is currently under development. It will include a feature set substantially identical to verbMAIL for Outlook.
Salesforce Integration.
We have completed and deployed the integration of verbLIVE
into Salesforce and have launched a joint marketing campaign with Salesforce to introduce the verbLIVE plug-in functionality to current
Salesforce users. We have also developed a verbCRM sync application for Salesforce users that is currently being utilized by at least
one of our large enterprise clients and the verbLIVE plug-in is now being offered to all Salesforce users on a monthly subscription fee
basis while we work to build adoption rates.
Popular
Enterprise Back-Office System Integrations. We have integrated
verbCRM into systems offered by 17 of the most popular direct sales back-office system providers, such as Direct Scale, Exigo, By Design,
Thatcher, Multisoft, Xennsoft, and Party Plan. Direct sales back-office systems provide many of the support functions required for direct
sales operations, including payroll, customer genealogy management, statistics, rankings, and earnings, among other direct sales financial
tracking capabilities. The integration into these back-office providers, facilitated through our own API development, allows single sign-on
convenience for users, as well as enhanced data analytics and reporting capabilities for all users. Our experience confirms that
our integration into these back-end platforms accelerates the adoption of verbCRM by large direct sales enterprises that rely on these
systems and as such, we believe this represents a competitive advantage.
Non-Digital
Products and Services
Historically,
we provided certain non-digital services to some of our enterprise clients such as printing and fulfillment services. We designed and
printed welcome kits and starter kits for their marketing needs and provided fulfillment services, which consisted of managing the preparation,
handling and shipping of our client’s custom-branded merchandise they use for marketing purposes at conferences and other events.
We also managed the fulfillment of our clients’ product sample packs that verbCRM users order through the app for automated delivery
and tracking to their customers and prospects.
In May 2020, we executed a contract with Range Printing (“Range”), a company in the business of providing enterprise
class printing, sample assembly, warehousing, packaging, shipping, and fulfillment services. Pursuant to the contract, through an automated
process we have established for this purpose, Range receives orders for samples and merchandise from us as and when we receive them from
our clients and users, and print, assemble, store, package and ship such samples and merchandise on our behalf. The Range contract provides
for a service fee arrangement based upon the specific services to be provided by Range that is designed to maintain our relationship
with our clients by continuing to service their non-digital needs, while eliminating the labor and overhead costs associated with the
provision of such services by us.
Our
Market
Our client base has historically
consisted primarily of multi-national direct sales enterprises to whom we provide white-labeled, client-branded versions of our products.
Our clients now include large enterprises in the life sciences sector, professional sports franchises, educational institutions, not-for-profits,
as well as clients in the entertainment industry, and the burgeoning CBD industry, among other business sectors. As of September 30, 2021,
we provide subscription-based application services to approximately 140 enterprise clients for use in over 139 countries, in over 48 languages,
which collectively account for a user base generated through more than 3.0 million downloads of our verbCRM application. Among the new
business sectors targeted for this year are medical equipment and pharmaceutical sales, armed services and government institutions, small
businesses and individual entrepreneurs.

RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our common stock, you should consider
carefully the risks described below, as well as the risk factors contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), together with the other information contained in this
prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and the information and documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. If
any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely
impacted. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment.
Risks
Related to This Offering
Sales of our common stock in this offering,
or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to fall.
We may issue and sell shares
of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $30.0 million from time to time in connection with this offering. The issuance
and sale from time to time of these new shares of common stock, or our ability to issue these new shares of common stock in this offering,
could have the effect of depressing the market price of our common stock.
You will suffer immediate and substantial dilution
in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock that you purchase in this offering.
The shares sold in this offering,
if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices; however, the assumed offering price of our common stock is substantially higher
than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Therefore, if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you
will pay a price per share of common stock that substantially exceeds our net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this
offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 15,075,376 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $1.99 per share of common stock,
which is the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on November 15, 2021,
for aggregate gross proceeds of $30.0 million, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, new investors
in this offering will experience immediate dilution of $1.76 per share, representing the difference between the assumed offering price
of the common stock and our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2021 after giving effect to this offering.
For a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you purchase common stock in this offering, refer to the section entitled
“Dilution.”
If
you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you may also experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
We
may be required to raise additional capital in the future to fund the growth and operation of our business. To raise additional capital,
we may offer additional shares of our common stock, or other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares
of our common stock, at prices that may be lower than the assumed offering price of our common stock in this offering. In addition,
investors purchasing our securities in the future could have rights superior to those of our existing stockholders. Furthermore, if any
of our outstanding options or warrants are exercised at prices below the assumed offering price, or if we grant additional options
or other awards under our equity incentive plans, or if we issue additional warrants, you may experience further dilution of your investment.
We
have no intention of declaring dividends in the foreseeable future.
The
decision to pay cash dividends on our common stock rests with our board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including
our earnings, cash balance, capital requirements and financial condition. We do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable
future, as we intend to use any excess cash for the development, operation and expansion of our business. Investors in our common stock should not expect to receive dividend income on their investment, and investors will be dependent
on the appreciation of our common stock, if any, to earn a return on their investment.
Future
sales of our common stock in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.
Sales
of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress
the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
As of September 30, 2021, we had 70,169,666 shares of common stock outstanding, all of which shares were, and continue to be,
eligible for sale in the public market, subject in some cases to compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, including the volume limitations
and manner of sale requirements. In addition, all of the shares offered under this prospectus will be freely tradable upon issuance without
restriction.
The common stock offered hereby will be
sold in “at-the-market” offerings, and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase shares
in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in their investment results.
We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or
maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower
than the prices they paid.
The actual number of shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement,
at any one time or in total, is uncertain.
Subject to certain limitations
in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a sales notice to the Sales Agent at any
time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by the Sales Agent after we deliver a sales notice
will fluctuate based on the market price of the common stock during the sales period and limits we set with the Sales Agent. Because
the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is not
possible at this stage to predict the number of shares, if any, that will ultimately be issued.
CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, the
accompanying prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, contain “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements are subject to considerable risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
All statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking
statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue”
“could,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” or the negative of such terms,
or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to such statements. In
particular, forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus relate to, among other things, our future
or assumed financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, business forecasts and plans, strategic plans and objectives, financing
plans, customers, products and competitive environment. We caution you that the foregoing list may not include all of the forward-looking
statements made in this prospectus.
Our
forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current assumptions and expectations about future events and trends, which
affect or may affect our business, strategy, operations or financial performance. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements
are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are made in light of
information currently available to us. Our actual financial condition and results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors”
beginning on page S-5 of this prospectus, as well as the risk factors contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q and the other reports we file with the SEC. You should read this prospectus with the understanding that our actual
future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect.
Moreover,
we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management
to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they were made, and, except to the extent required by law or Nasdaq Listing Rules, we undertake
no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or other
factors.
We
qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We may issue and sell shares
of our common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $30.0 million from time to time. Because
there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions
paid to the Sales Agent and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale
of the shares of common stock that we are offering may be up to approximately $29.3 million, after deducting commissions payable to the
Sales Agent and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We
intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We have not yet determined
the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for any particular purposes or the timing of these expenditures. Accordingly, our
management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds from the sale of these securities, and investors
will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds from this offering.
Pending
our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to maintain the net proceeds as cash deposits or cash management instruments,
such as U.S. government securities or money market mutual funds.
DIVIDEND
POLICY
We
have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend
to use any excess cash for the development, operation and expansion of our business. The decision to pay cash dividends on our common
stock rests with our board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including our earnings, cash balance, capital requirements
and financial condition. Investors in our common stock should not expect to receive dividend income on
their investment, and investors will be dependent on the appreciation of our common stock, if any, to earn a return on their investment.
DILUTION
If
you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will
experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share in this offering and our
as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering.
Our net tangible book
value as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $(9.7) million or $(0.14) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per
share is determined by dividing the net of total tangible assets less total liabilities, by the aggregate number of shares of common stock
outstanding as of September 30, 2021.
After giving effect
to the sale of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $30.0 million at the assumed offering price of $1.99 per share of common
stock, the last reported sale price of our common stock on November 15, 2021, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering
expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 would have been approximately $19.6 million,
or $0.23 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.37 per share to our existing
stockholders and immediate dilution of $1.76 per share to new investors in this offering.
The following table illustrates
this dilution on a per share basis. The as adjusted information is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual public offering
price, the actual number of shares sold and other terms of the offering determined at the time shares of our common stock are sold pursuant
to this prospectus supplement. The as adjusted information assumes that all of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $30.0 million
is sold at the assumed public offering price of $1.99 per share. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time
at various prices.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
have entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Truist Securities, Inc., as Sales Agent, under which we may issue and
sell over a period of time, and from time to time, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million
through the Sales Agent acting as sales agent or directly to the Sales Agent acting as principal. This prospectus supplement relates
to our ability to issue and sell over a period of time, and from time to time, shares of our common stock to or through the Sales Agent
pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Sales of the shares to which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relate, if any,
may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act,
including sales made directly on or through Nasdaq, the trading market for our common stock, or any other trading market in the Unites
States for our common stock, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, directly to the Sales Agent as principal
in negotiated transactions, or through a combination of any such methods of sale. To the extent required by Regulation M, the Sales Agent
acting as our sales agent will not engage in any transactions that stabilize our common stock while the offering is ongoing under this
prospectus supplement.
Upon
written instructions from us, the Sales Agent will offer the shares of our common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales
Agreement, on a daily basis or as otherwise agreed upon by us and the Sales Agent. We will designate the maximum amount of shares of
our common stock to be sold through the Sales Agent on a daily basis or otherwise determine such maximum amount together with the Sales
Agent, subject to certain limitations set forth by the SEC. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent
will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of our common stock so designated or determined. We
may instruct the Sales Agent not to sell shares of our common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated
by us in any such instruction. The Sales Agent may also sell our common stock in negotiated transactions with our prior approval. We
or the Sales Agent may suspend the offering of shares of our common stock being made under the Sales Agreement upon proper notice to
the other party.
For
its services as sales agent in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock that may be offered hereby, we will pay the Sales
Agent an aggregate fee of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share for any shares sold through it acting as our sales agent. The
remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory
or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such shares. We have agreed
to reimburse the Sales Agent for certain of its expenses in an amount not to exceed $50,000, and, thereafter, reasonable fees
and expenses of the Sales Agent’s incurred in conjunction of performing legal services related to the Sales Agreement for the Company.
The
Sales Agent will provide written confirmation to us no later than the opening of the trading day immediately following the day in which
shares of common stock are sold by it on our behalf under the Sales Agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold
on that day, the compensation payable by us to the Sales Agent and the proceeds to us net of such compensation.
Settlement
for sales of our common stock will occur, unless the parties agree otherwise, on the second business day following the date on which
any sales were made in return for payment of the proceeds to us net of compensation paid by us to the Sales Agent. There is no arrangement
for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
Unless
otherwise required, we will report at least quarterly the number of shares of common stock sold through the Sales Agent under the Sales
Agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us to the Sales Agent in connection with the sales of common stock.
In
connection with the sale of common stock on our behalf, the Sales Agent will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the
meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation paid to it will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed,
under the Sales Agreement, to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agent against certain civil liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
In
the ordinary course of its business, the Sales Agent and/or its affiliates may perform investment banking, broker-dealer, financial advisory
or other services for us for which it may receive separate fees.
We
estimate that the total expenses from this offering payable by us, excluding compensation payable to the Sales Agent under the Sales
Agreement, will be approximately $75,000.
The
offering of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of shares of our common stock
with an aggregate offering price of $30.0 million subject to the Sales Agreement and (2) the termination
of the Sales Agreement, pursuant to its terms, by either the Sales Agent or us.
The Company and the Sales Agent may
in the future agree to add one or more additional sales agents to the offering, in which case the Company will file a further prospectus
supplement providing the name of such additional sales agents and any other required information.

we will provide a prospectus supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered and
sold and the specific terms of that offering. We may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you that

ABOUT
VERB TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, INC.
Overview
We
are a Software-as-a-Service applications platform developer. Our platform is comprised of a suite of interactive video-based sales enablement
business software products marketed on a subscription basis. Our applications, available in both mobile and desktop versions, are offered
as a fully integrated suite, as well as on a standalone basis, and include verbCRM, our white-labelled Customer Relationship Management
(“CRM”) application for large sales-based enterprises; verbTEAMS, our CRM application for small and medium sized businesses
and solopreneurs; verbLEARN, our Learning Management System application, and verbLIVE, our Live Stream eCommerce application.
Our
suite of applications can be distinguished from other sales enablement applications because our applications utilize our proprietary
interactive video technology as the primary means of communication between sales and marketing professionals and their customers and
prospects. Moreover, the proprietary data collection and analytics capabilities of our applications inform our users in real time, on
their devices, when and for how long their prospects have watched a video, how many times such prospects watched it, and what they clicked-on,
which allows our users to focus their time and efforts on ‘hot leads’ or interested prospects rather than on those that have
not seen such video or otherwise expressed interest in such content. Users can create their hot lead lists by using familiar, intuitive
‘swipe left/swipe right’ on-screen navigation. Our clients report that these capabilities provide for a much more efficient
and effective sales process, resulting in increased sales conversion rates. We developed the proprietary patent-pending interactive video
technology, as well as several other patent-issued and patent-pending technologies that serve as the unique foundation for all of our
platform applications
Corporate
Information

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision or acquiring any offered securities pursuant to
this prospectus, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the applicable
prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement
or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances.
You should also consider the risks, uncertainties, and assumptions discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” included in
our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, or our Current
Reports on Form 8-K that we have filed with the SEC, all of which are incorporated herein by reference, and which may be amended, supplemented,
or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. Moreover, the risks so described are not the only
risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently perceive as immaterial may ultimately prove more significant
than expected and impair our business operations. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results
of operations, and prospects. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks and you may lose all or part
of your investment. This prospectus and the incorporated documents also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus, any prospectus supplement, and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus contain certain “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with
respect to our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. These forward-looking statements are not historical
facts but rather are plans and predictions based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our industry, our beliefs,
and assumptions. We use words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,”
“expect,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,”
“assume,” and variations of these words and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Statements in this
prospectus and the other documents incorporated by reference that are not historical facts are hereby identified as “forward-looking
statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act.
These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of
which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted
in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those described in the section above entitled “Risk Factors,”
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2020, and the risks detailed from time to time on our future
reports filed with the SEC.
You
should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to certain risks, uncertainties,
and assumptions that are difficult to predict. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement
are made as of the date of this prospectus or, in the case of any accompanying prospectus supplement or documents incorporated by reference,
the date of any such document. Over time, our actual results, performance, or achievements may differ from those expressed or implied
by our forward-looking statements, and such difference might be significant and materially adverse to our security holders. Except as
required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events, or otherwise. We have identified some of the important factors that could cause future events to differ from our current
expectations and they are described in this prospectus under the captions “Risk Factors,” and as well as in our most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in other documents that we may file with the
SEC, all of which you should review carefully. Please consider our forward-looking statements in light of those risks as you read this
prospectus and any prospectus supplement.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
Except
as set forth in any accompanying prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered under
this prospectus for general corporate purposes unless the applicable prospectus supplement provides otherwise. General corporate purposes
may include, and are not limited to, research and development costs, the acquisition or licensing of other businesses, products or product
candidates, working capital and capital expenditures.
We
may temporarily invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation instruments, including investment grade instruments, certificates
of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government, or may hold such proceeds as cash, until they are used for their
stated purpose. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes. As a result, management
will retain broad discretion over the allocation of net proceeds.
DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
The
following is a summary of all material characteristics of our capital stock as set forth in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
or Articles of Incorporation, and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, or Bylaws. The summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws, and to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or
the NRS. We encourage you to review complete copies of our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws. You can obtain copies of these documents
by following the directions outlined in “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information
by Reference” elsewhere in this prospectus.
Authorized
Capital Stock
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which 6,000 shares have been designated Series A Preferred Stock. As of January 14, 2021, we had
48,392,483 shares of common stock outstanding and 1,856 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.
Common
Stock
All
outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. The following summarizes the rights of holders of our common
stock:
|
●
|
a
holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon generally by the stockholders and are not
entitled to cumulative voting for the election of directors;
|
|
●
|
subject
to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive lawful
dividends as may be declared by our board of directors;
|
|
●
|
upon
our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive a pro rata portion of all
our assets remaining for distribution after satisfaction of all our liabilities and the payment of any liquidation preference of
any outstanding preferred stock;
|
|
●
|
there
are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock; and
|
|
●
|
there
are no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights applicable to our common stock.
|
Preferred
Stock
All
of the preferred stock authorized in our articles of incorporation is undesignated. Our board of directors is authorized, without further
approval from our stockholders, to create one or more series of preferred stock, and to designate the rights, privileges, preferences,
restrictions, and limitations of any given series of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors may, without stockholder approval,
issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that could adversely affect the voting
power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of restricting dividends
payable to holders of our common stock, diluting the voting power of our common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of our common
stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control of us, all without further action by our stockholders. The following is a summary
of the terms and conditions of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Series
A Preferred Stock
The
rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock are outlined below.
Rank
and Liquidation Preference
Shares
of Series A Preferred Stock rank prior to our common stock as to distribution of assets upon liquidation events, which include a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary. The liquidation preference of each share of Series A Preferred
Stock is equal to $1,000.00, or the Stated Value, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and any other
fees or liquidated damages then due and owing under the Certificate of Designation of Rights, Preferences, and Restrictions of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Certificate of Designations. If the assets are insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the
entire assets to be distributed to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of our
Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon
were paid in full.
Dividend
Rights
The
holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive lawful dividends as may be declared by our board of directors.
Optional
Conversion Rights
Each
share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at any time. Each share
of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into the number of shares of common stock as calculated by dividing the Stated Value of such
share of Series A Preferred Stock by the conversion price. The conversion price was initially $1.55 per share of Series A Preferred Stock,
which conversion price was subsequently adjusted to $1.10 per share and is subject to further adjustment; therefore, each share of Series
A Preferred Stock was initially convertible into approximately 645 shares of common stock and after adjustment of the conversion price
to $1.10 per share, each share of Series A convertible stock is now convertible into approximately 909 shares of common stock, which
number is equal to the quotient of the Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Stock of $1,000.00 divided by the conversion price of $1.10
per share of Series A Preferred Stock. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares are to be issued upon conversion
of the Series A Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of share that the holder of Series A Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon conversion, we shall, at our election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal
to such fraction multiplied by the conversion price, or round up to the next whole share.
The
holders of Series A Preferred Stock cannot convert the Series A Preferred Stock if, after giving effect to the conversion, the number
of shares of our common stock beneficially held by the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates) would be in excess of 4.99%
(or, upon election by a holder prior to the issuance of any shares, 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of any shares of common stock issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock
held by the holder).
We
are also prevented from issuing shares of our common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or exercise of the August
Warrants (as defined below), which, when aggregated with any shares of our common stock issued on or after the issuance date and prior
to such conversion date or exercise date, as applicable (i) in connection with any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock issued
pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement entered into on August 14, 2019 by and among us and the investors thereto, or
SPA, (ii) in connection with the exercise of any August Warrants issued pursuant to the SPA, and (iii) in connection with the exercise
of any warrants issued to any registered broker-dealer as a fee in connection with the issuance of the securities pursuant to the SPA,
would exceed 4,459,725 shares of common stock, or 19.99% Cap. This prohibition will terminate upon the approval by our stockholders of
a release from such 19.99% Cap.
Mandatory
Conversion Rights
In
the event the closing price on The Nasdaq Capital Market is 100% greater than the then-base conversion price on each trading day for
any twenty trading days during a consecutive thirty trading day period, we may, within one trading day after the later of stockholder
approval to issue a number of shares of common stock in excess of the 19.99% Cap and the date that the conversion shares registration
statement filed by us with the SEC declared effective, notify each holder of Series A Preferred Stock that all or part of such holder’s
Series A Preferred Stock, plus all liquidated damages and other amounts due, were converted into shares of common stock. Any mandatory
conversion will be made into the number of shares of common stock determined on the same basis as the optional conversion rights above.
Conversion
Price Adjustments
The
conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to certain customary adjustments, including upon certain subsequent equity
sales and rights offerings. The conversion price is also subject to downward adjustments if we issue shares of our common stock or securities
convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock, other than specified excluded securities, at per share prices less than the
then-base conversion price. In this event, the conversion price shall be reduced to then-base conversion price.
The
conversion price is also subject to adjustment if we issue rights, options, or warrants to holders of common stock entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a price per share that is lower than the volume weighted average price on the date
for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, option, or warrants. In this event, the conversion price shall be
multiplied by a fraction of which the denominator is the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such
rights, options, or warrants plus the number of additional shares of common stock offered for subscription or purchase, and the numerator
shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options, or warrants plus the number
of shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such volume weighted average price.
If
we distribute to holders of common stock evidences of our indebtedness or assets, including cash and cash dividends, or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security, subject to certain limitations, then the conversion price shall be adjusted by multiplying
the conversion price then in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the volume weighted average price determined as of the record date,
and of which the numerator shall be the volume weighted average price on such record date less the then fair market value at such record
date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share
of our common stock as determined by our board of directors in good faith.
In
the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below) while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, holders of Series A Preferred
Stock shall have the right to receive, for each share of common stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of our Series A Preferred
Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number
of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of us, if we are the surviving corporation, and any additional
consideration receivable as a result of the Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of common stock for which the
Series A Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. A “Fundamental Transaction” is
defined as any time while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding (a) we, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions
shall effect any merger or consolidation of us with or into another person, (b) we, directly or indirectly, effect any sale, lease, license,
assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(c) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer, or exchange offer (whether by us or another person) is completed pursuant
to which holders of our common stock are permitted to sell, tender, or exchange their shares for other securities, cash, or property
and has been accepted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock, (d) we, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effect any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of our common stock or any compulsory share exchange, pursuant
to which the common stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (e) we, directly or indirectly,
in one or more related transactions consummate a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without
limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, or scheme of arrangement) with another person, whereby such other person acquires
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock (not including any shares of common stock held by the other person or other persons
making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or
other business combination).
Voting
Rights and Protective Provisions
The
holders of Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights. However, we cannot, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock:
|
●
|
authorize
or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption, or distribution of assets upon a liquidation senior to, or otherwise
pari passu with, the Series A Preferred Stock;
|
|
●
|
amend
our articles of incorporation, or other charter documents in any manner that materially and adversely affects any rights of the holders;
|
|
●
|
increase
the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or
|
|
●
|
enter
into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
|
As
long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, unless the holders of at least 75% in Stated Value of the then-outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock have otherwise given prior written consent, we cannot, directly or indirectly:
|
●
|
other
than permitted indebtedness, as long as 25% of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the SPA
are then outstanding, enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee, or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any
kind that is or may be senior to the Series A Preferred Stock in dividend rights or liquidation preference, including, but not limited
to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of our property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein of any
income or profits therefrom;
|

if less than a quorum otherwise required for board approval); or
|
|
●
|
enter
into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.

Reservation
of Shares
We
initially were required to reserve 3,245,162 shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
and are required to maintain a sufficient number of reserved shares of common stock to allow for the conversion of all shares of Series
A Preferred Stock.
Undesignated
Preferred Stock
The
ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or
other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. These and other provisions may have the effect
of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of us.
Anti-Takeover
Effects of Nevada Law and Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
Some
provisions of Nevada law, our articles of incorporation, and our bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions
more difficult: an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or the
removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could
deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions
that provide for payment of a premium over the market price for our shares.
These
provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are
also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the
benefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal
to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could
result in an improvement of their terms.
Undesignated
Preferred Stock. The ability of our board of directors, without action by the stockholders, to issue up to 14,994,000 shares of preferred
stock, which was previously authorized but remain undesignated, other than the Series A Preferred Stock, with voting or other rights
or preferences as designated by our board of directors could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other
provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of us.
Stockholder
Meetings. Our bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by our president, by all of the directors
provided that there are no more than three directors, or if more than three, by any three directors, or by the holder of a majority of
our capital stock.
Stockholder
Action by Written Consent. Our bylaws allow for any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders
to be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the
holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
Stockholders
Not Entitled to Cumulative Voting. Our bylaws do not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Accordingly,
the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of
the directors standing for election, if they choose, other than any directors that holders of our preferred stock may be entitled to
elect.
Nevada
Business Combination Statutes. The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the
NRS, generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders from engaging in various “combination” transactions
with any interested stockholder for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder, unless the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such
status or the combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative
vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders, and extends beyond
the expiration of the two-year period, unless:
|
●
|
the
combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder or the transaction by which
the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder
or the combination is later approved by a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders; or
|
|
●
|
if
the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid
by the interested stockholder within the two years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the
transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (b) the market value per share of common stock on
the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or
(c) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher.
|
A
“combination” is generally defined to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer,
or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, with an “interested stockholder” having: (a) an aggregate
market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregate market value equal
to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, (c) 10% or more of the earning power or net
income of the corporation, and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of an interested
stockholder.
In
general, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years,
did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in
control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the
opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.
Nevada
Control Share Acquisition Statutes. The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS
apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders, including at least 100 stockholders
of record who are Nevada residents, and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada. The control share statute prohibits an
acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a target corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership
threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterested stockholders. The statute
specifies three thresholds: one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but less than a majority, and a majority or more, of
the outstanding voting power. Generally, once an acquirer crosses one of the above thresholds, those shares in an offer or acquisition
and acquired within 90 days thereof become “control shares” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until
disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and
the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing
voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures
established for dissenters’ rights.
A
corporation may elect to not be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control share provisions by making an election in its articles
of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring person
has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have not opted out of the control
share statutes, and will be subject to these statutes if we are an “issuing corporation” as defined in such statutes.
The
effect of the Nevada control share statutes is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person,
will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special
meeting. The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of us.
Amendment
of Charter Provisions. The amendment of any of the above provisions would require approval by holders of at least a majority of the
total voting power of all of our outstanding voting stock.
The
provisions of Nevada law, our articles of incorporation, and our bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting
hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often
result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in the composition
of our board of directors and management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions
that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
Outstanding
Warrants
Listed
Common Stock Purchase Warrants
Exercisability.
The warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and at any time for the five-year period from the date of issuance. The warrants

as discussed below).
Cashless
Exercise. In the event that a registration statement covering shares of our common stock underlying the warrants is not available
for the resale of such shares of our common stock underlying the warrants, the holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise the warrant
in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of
the aggregate exercise price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of our common stock determined according
to the formula set forth in the warrant. In no event will we be required to make any cash payments or net cash settlement to the registered
holder in lieu of issuing shares of our common stock underlying the warrants.
Exercise
Price. The initial exercise price per-whole share of our common stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrants is $3.443, or 110%
of the effective offering price. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and
distributions, stock splits stock combinations, reclassifications, or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distribution
of assets, including cash, stock, or other property to our stockholders.

Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while the warrants are outstanding, (a) we consolidate or merge with or into another corporation and
we are not the surviving corporation, (b) we sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, convey, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of our assets, (c) any purchase offer, tender offer, or exchange offer (whether by us or another individual or entity) is completed

(d) we effect any reclassification or recapitalization of shares of our common stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which
the shares of our common stock are converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash, or property, or (e) we consummate a stock
or share purchase agreement or other business combination with another person or entity whereby such other person or entity acquires
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, each, a “Common Stock Purchase Warrant Fundamental Transaction,”
then upon any subsequent exercise of the warrants, the holders thereof will have the right to receive the same amount and kind of securities,
cash, or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Common Stock Purchase Warrant Fundamental Transaction
if it had been immediately prior to such Common Stock Purchase Warrant Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of warrant shares
then issuable upon exercise of the warrant, and any additional consideration payable as part of the Common Stock Purchase Warrant Fundamental
Transaction.
Rights
as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common
stock, the holder of the warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights,
until the holder exercises the warrant.
August
2019 Warrants
On
August 14, 2019, we entered into the SPA with certain purchasers named therein, or the Preferred Purchasers, pursuant to which we agreed
to issue and sell to the Preferred Purchasers, in addition to shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, warrants, which we refer to as
the August Warrants, to purchase up to approximately 3.87 million shares of our common stock. We closed the offering on August 14, 2019
and issued 5,030 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and granted the August Warrants exercisable for up to 3,245,162 shares of common
stock in connection therewith. We received gross proceeds equal to $5,030,000.
Exercisability.
The warrants are exercisable from and after six months after the date of issuance and at any time for the five-year period from the date
of issuance. The warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed
exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the
case of a cashless exercise as discussed below).
Cashless
Exercise. In the event that a registration statement covering shares of our common stock underlying the warrants is not available
for the resale of such shares of our common stock underlying the warrants, the holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise the warrant
in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of
the aggregate exercise price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of our common stock determined according
to the formula set forth in the warrant. In no event will we be required to make any cash payments or net cash settlement to the registered
holder in lieu of issuing shares of our common stock underlying the warrants.
Exercise
Price. The initial exercise price per-whole share of our common stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrants was $1.88. The exercise
price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations,
reclassifications, or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distribution of assets, including cash, stock, or other
property to our stockholders. If we or any subsidiary, at any time while the August Warrants are outstanding, sell or grant any option
to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or common stock equivalents at an
effective price less than the exercise price then in effect, then the exercise price shall be reduced to the lower exercise price then
in effect, subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, recapitalizations, and similar transactions and subject to certain
exceptions. If we, at any time while the August Warrants are outstanding, issue rights, options, or warrants to all holders of common
stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a price per share less than the volume weighted average price
on the record date mentioned below, then the exercise price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the
number of shares of common stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options, or warrants plus the number of additional
shares of common stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of common stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options, or warrants plus the number of shares that the aggregate offering price
of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by us in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options
or warrants) would purchase at such volume weighted average price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options, or warrants
are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights, options, or warrants.
Transferability.
Subject to applicable laws, the warrants may be transferred at the option of the holders upon surrender of the warrants together with
the appropriate instruments of transfer.
Exchange
Listing. Our August Warrants are not listed on any securities exchange or other trading system and we do not intend to apply for
listing on any securities exchange or other trading system.

(d) we effect any reclassification or recapitalization of shares of our common stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which
the shares of our common stock are converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash, or property, or (e) we consummate a stock
or share purchase agreement or other business combination with another person or entity whereby such other person or entity acquires
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, each, an “August Warrant Fundamental Transaction,” then upon
any subsequent exercise of the warrants, the holders thereof will have the right to receive the same amount and kind of securities, cash,
or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such August Warrant Fundamental Transaction if it had been
immediately prior to such August Warrant Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of warrant shares then issuable upon exercise
of the warrant, and any additional consideration payable as part of the August Warrant Fundamental Transaction. In the event of an August
Warrant Fundamental Transaction, we or any successor entity shall, at the holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently
with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the August Warrant Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement
of the applicable August Warrant Fundamental Transaction), purchase the warrant from the holder by paying to the holder an amount of
cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant on the date of the consummation
of such August Warrant Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of the August Warrants, “Black Scholes Value” means the value
of the warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P., or Bloomberg,
determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable August Warrant Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting
(A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement
of the applicable August Warrant Fundamental Transaction and the termination date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the 100-day volatility
obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365-day annualization factor) as of the trading day immediately following
the public announcement of the applicable August Warrant Fundamental Transaction (but in no event shall such expected volatility be greater
than one hundred percent (100%)), (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of
the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such August
Warrant Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) the last volume weighted average price immediately prior to the public announcement
of such August Warrant Fundamental Transaction and (y) the last volume weighted average price immediately prior to the consummation of
such August Warrant Fundamental Transaction, and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement
of the applicable August Warrant Fundamental Transaction and the termination date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black
Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five business days of the holder’s election (or,
if later, on the effective date of the August Warrant Fundamental Transaction).
Rights
as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common
stock, the holder of the warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights,
until the holder exercises the warrant.
February
2020 Warrants
In
connection with our private placement of common stock in February 2020, the Preferred Purchasers who, as of February 7, 2020, continued
to own shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (a) waived their respective rights, or the February 2020 Waiver, to participate in our
private placement, and (b) declined to accept the price protection rights to which they otherwise were entitled as holders of shares
of our Series A Preferred Stock. In connection with the February 2020 Waiver, we granted to each of our Preferred Purchasers who continued
to own shares of our Series A Preferred Stock as of February 7, 2020 a five-year common stock purchase warrant, or February 2020 Warrants,
the terms of which are substantially similar to the terms of our August Warrants, with the sole material differences being the grant
date and the $1.55 per-share exercise price. The initial per-share exercise price of our August Warrants was $1.88 and, by virtue of
our private placement, the per-share exercise price was modified to $1.10. Our February 2020 Warrants are not listed on any securities
exchange or other trading system and we do not intend to apply for listing on any securities exchange or other trading system.
As
of January 14, 2021, we had 13,311,251 shares of our common stock underlying outstanding warrants, having a weighted-average exercise
price of approximately $2.49 per share.
SoloFire
Exchange Agreement
In
connection with our acquisition of Ascend Certification, LLC, dba SoloFire (“SoloFire”) on September 4, 2020, we entered
into an Exchange Agreement with the prior owners of SoloFire whereby we agreed that on or after March 4, 2021, the prior owners of SoloFire
can exchange their Class B interests in our acquisition subsidiary, Verb Acquisition Co., LLC, for up to an aggregate of 2,642,159 shares
of our common stock.
Outstanding
Options and Awards
As
of January 14, 2021, we had 6,228,045 shares of our common stock underlying outstanding stock options, having a weighted-average exercise
price of approximately $1.58 per share, and 2,811,508 restricted stock awards having a weighted-average grant date fair value of $1.32
issued under our Incentive Plan, respectively.
Choice
of Forum
Our
bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the state and federal courts in the State
of Nevada shall be the exclusive forum for any litigation relating to our internal affairs, including, without limitation: (a) any derivative
action brought on behalf of us, (b) any action asserting a claim for breach of fiduciary duty to us or our stockholders by any current
or former officer, director, employee, or agent of us, or (c) any action against us or any current or former officer, director, employee,
or agent of us arising pursuant to any provision of the NRS, the articles of incorporation, or the bylaws. For the avoidance of doubt,
the exclusive forum provision described above does not apply to any claims arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. Section
27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the
Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal
and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
See “Risk Factors— Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities—Our bylaws contain an exclusive forum provision,
which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers,
employees or agents.”

will represent direct, unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured indebtedness.
General
The
terms of each series of debt securities will be established by or pursuant to a resolution of our board of directors and set forth or
determined in the manner provided in a resolution of our board of directors, in an officer’s certificate or by a supplemental indenture.

otherwise set forth in a resolution of our board of directors, a supplemental indenture or an officer’s certificate detailing the
adopt of a series of debt securities, all securities in a series shall be identical. Debt securities may differ between series with respect
to any term, provided, that all series of debt securities shall be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the indenture. (Section

Transfer
and Exchange
Each

debt security), or a certificate issued in definitive registered form (we will refer to any debt security represented by a certificated

“Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System” below, book-entry debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.

any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with such transfer or exchange. (Section 2.7)
You
may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, premium and interest on certificated
debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the
trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder. (Section 2.7)
Global

Each
global debt security representing book-entry debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary, and registered
in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. Please see “Global Securities.”
No
Protection in the Event of a Change of Control
Unless
we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may afford holders
of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether
or not such transaction results in a change in control) which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.
Covenants
Unless
otherwise indicated in this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, our debt securities may not have the benefit of any covenant
that limits or restricts our business or operations, the pledging of our assets or the incurrence by us of indebtedness. We will describe
in the applicable prospectus supplement any material covenants in respect of a series of debt securities. (Article 4)
Consolidation,
Merger and Sale of Assets
We
may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of our properties and assets to any person, or a successor person, unless:
|
●
|
the
indenture shall remain in full force and effect and either we are the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than
us) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction or a corporation or comparable
legal entity organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction and expressly assumes by a supplemental indenture executed and delivered
to the trustee, all of our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
immediately
after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing. (Section 5.1)
|
Defaults
and Notice
Unless
otherwise specified in the resolution of our board of directors, supplemental indenture or officer’s certificate establishing a
series of debt securities, “Event of Default” means with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:
|
●
|
failure
to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, on any debt security when the same becomes due and payable at Maturity, upon acceleration,
redemption or otherwise;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
failure
to make a payment of any interest on any debt security of such series when due and payable, and the default continues for a period
of 30 days;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
failure
to perform or observe any other covenants or agreements in the indenture with respect to the debt securities of the series or in
the Indenture for 60 days after written notice from the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount
of the debt securities of the series then outstanding, with such notice specifying the default, demanding that it be remedied and
stating that the notice is a “Notice of Default”;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
certain
events relating to our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of a Significant
Subsidiary;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
certain
cross defaults, if and as applicable; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
other Event of Default specified in the resolution of our board of directors, supplemental indenture or officer’s certificate
establishing such series of debt securities. (Section 6.1)
|
No
Event of Default with respect to a particular series of debt securities necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any
other series of debt securities. (Section 6.2) The occurrence of certain Events of Default or an acceleration under the indenture may
constitute an event of default under certain indebtedness of ours or our subsidiary outstanding from time to time.
If
an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding (except as to certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization) occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to
be due and payable immediately the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all debt securities of that series. In
the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified
amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration
of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money
due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series
may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if
any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture and such rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree. (Section 6.2) We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities
that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount
securities upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
The
trustee is entitled to be indemnified by holders of debt securities before proceeding to exercise any trust or power under the indenture
at the request of such holders. (Section 6.6) The holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
debt securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the trustee
for such series, or of exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee with respect to the debt securities of such series. (Section
6.5) However, the trustee may decline to follow any such direction that conflicts with law or the indenture, or that the trustee determines
may be unduly prejudicial to the holders of the debt securities of such series not joining in such direction. (Section 6.5)
No
holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding or pursue any remedy, with respect to the indenture
or a series of debt securities, unless:
|
●
|
That
holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to debt securities of that
series; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
holders of note less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and
offered indemnity or security satisfactory to the trustee, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee
has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days and has not received from the holder of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request within such 60 day periods (Section
6.6).
|
No
holder of debt securities under the indenture may use the indenture to prejudice the rights of another holder or to obtain a preference
or priority over another holder of debt securities. (Section 6.6)
Notwithstanding
any other provision in the indenture, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment
of the principal of, premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to
institute suit for the enforcement of payment. (Section 6.7)
The
indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with
the indenture. (Section 4.4) If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the securities of any series and
if it is known to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee shall mail to each holder of the securities of that series notice
of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a responsible officer of the trustee has knowledge
of such Default or Event of Default (except if such Default or Event of Default has been validly cured or waived before the trustee gives
such notice). The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any Default
or Event of Default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if the trustee
determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities. (Section 7.5)
Modification
of the Indenture
We
and the trustee may modify, amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of any series without the consent of any holder
of any debt security:
|
●
|
to
comply with covenants in the indenture described above under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
to
provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
to
provide for certificated debt securities in addition to uncertificated debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
to
comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any other change to the indenture or the debt securities that does not materially
and adversely affect the rights of any holder of our debt securities under the indenture;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
to
provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of debt securities of any series as permitted by the
indenture; or
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
to
effect the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the debt securities of any series and to add to or change any of the
provisions of the indenture to provide for or facilitate administration by more than one trustee. (Section 8.1)
|
We
may also modify or supplement the indenture with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modifications or supplement. The holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding debt securities of each such series affected by the modifications or supplement may waive compliance by us
in a particular instance with any provision of the indenture or the debt securities of such affected series of debt securities without
notice to any holder of our debt securities. We may not make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holders of each
affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:
|
●
|
reduce
the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
reduce
the rate of or change the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
reduce
the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed
for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation with respect to any series of debt securities;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
make
the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
change
the amount or time of any payment required by any debt security, or reduce the premium payable upon any redemption of any debt securities,
or change the time before which no such redemption may be made;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
waive
a default in the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration
of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
|
|
●
|
waive
a redemption payment with respect to any debt security, or change any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of any debt
securities;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
reduce
the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity; or
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
make
any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to the rights of holders to institute suit with respect to the indenture
or the debt securities of a series and the modification or supplement of the indenture or the debt securities of any series requiring
the consent of holders of our debt securities. (Section 8.2)
|
The
holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt
securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default
in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series (Section 6.4); provided, however, that
the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences,
including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration. (Section 6.2)
Defeasance
of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances
Legal
Defeasance. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may
be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (subject to certain exceptions). We will be
so discharged upon the irrevocable deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of
debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused
to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money or
U.S. government obligations in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments
in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture
and those debt securities.
This
discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received
from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture,
there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon
such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United
States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal
income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and
discharge had not occurred. (Section 8.3)
Defeasance
of Certain Covenants. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities,
upon compliance with certain conditions:
|
●
|
we
may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain
other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus
supplement; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities
of that series (“covenant defeasance”).
|
This
is referred to as covenant defeasance. The conditions include:
|
●
|
depositing
with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other
than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment
of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium
and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of
those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities; and
|
|
●
|
delivering
to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income,
gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be
subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred. (Section 9.3).
|
No
Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees or Shareholders
None
of our past, present or future directors, officers, employees or shareholders, as such, will have any liability for any of our obligations
under the debt securities or the indenture or for any claim based on, or in respect or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
By accepting a debt security, each holder waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release is part of the consideration
for the issue of the debt securities. However, this waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under U.S. federal securities
laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy. (Section 10.9)
Governing
Law
The
indenture and the debt securities, including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the indenture or the securities,
will be governed by the laws of the State of New York. (Section 10.8)
DESCRIPTION
OF WARRANTS
We
may issue warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in one or more series together with
other securities or separately, as described in each applicable prospectus supplement. Below is a description of certain general terms

Each
warrant will entitle its holder to purchase the principal amount of debt securities or the number of shares of preferred stock or common

warrants will become void.
A
holder of warrant certificates may exchange them for new warrant certificates of different denominations, present them for registration
of transfer and exercise them at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus
supplement. Until any warrants to purchase debt securities are exercised, the holder of the warrants will not have any rights of holders
of the debt securities that can be purchased upon exercise, including any rights to receive payments of principal, premium or interest
on the underlying debt securities or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture. Until any warrants to purchase common stock or
preferred stock are exercised, the holders of the warrants will not have any rights of holders of the underlying common stock or preferred
stock, including any rights to receive dividends or payments upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up on the common stock or preferred
stock, if any.
Prospective
purchasers of warrants should be aware that special United States federal income tax, accounting and other considerations may be applicable
to instruments such as warrants. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe such considerations, to the extent they are material,
as they apply generally to purchasers of such warrants.

applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement which may be entered into by us in connection
with the offering of subscription rights.
|
The
descriptions of the subscription rights in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement are summaries of the material provisions
of the applicable subscription right agreements. These descriptions do not restate those subscription right agreements in their entirety
and may not contain all the information that you may find useful. We urge you to read the applicable subscription right agreements because
they, and not the summaries, define your rights as holders of the subscription rights. For more information, please review the forms
of the relevant subscription right agreements, which will be filed with the SEC promptly after the offering of subscription rights and
will be available as described in the section of this prospectus captioned “Where You Can Find More Information.”
GLOBAL
SECURITIES
Unless
we indicate differently in any applicable prospectus supplement, the securities initially will be issued in book-entry form and represented
by one or more global notes or global securities, or, collectively, global securities. The global securities will be deposited with,
or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, as depositary, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
the nominee of DTC. Unless and until it is exchanged for individual certificates evidencing securities under the limited circumstances
described below, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to its nominee or by the nominee to the
depositary, or by the depositary or its nominee to a successor depositary or to a nominee of the successor depositary.
DTC
has advised us that it is:
|
●
|
a
limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law;
|
|
●
|
a
“banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law;
|
|
●
|
a
member of the Federal Reserve System;
|
|
●
|
a
“clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and
|
|
●
|
a
“clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act.
|
DTC
holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among its participants of securities transactions,
such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants’ accounts,
thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. “Direct participants” in DTC include securities
brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing
Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated
subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants, that clear
through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and
its participants are on file with the SEC.
Purchases
of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on
DTC’s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner,
is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants’ records. Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written
confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details
of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they
purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants
acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the
global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below.
To
facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the name of DTC’s
partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities
with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the securities.
DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants
to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping
account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
So
long as the securities are in book-entry form, you will receive payments and may transfer securities only through the facilities of the
depositary and its direct and indirect participants. We will maintain an office or agency in the location specified in the prospectus
supplement for the applicable securities, where notices and demands in respect of the securities and the indenture may be delivered to
us and where certificated securities may be surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange.
Conveyance
of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct participants
and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any legal requirements in effect
from time to time.
Redemption
notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to
determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the securities of such series to be redeemed.
Neither
DTC nor Cede & Co. (or such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC
will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns the consenting or voting rights
of Cede & Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities of such series are credited on the record date, identified
in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.
So
long as securities are in book-entry form, we will make payments on those securities to the depositary or its nominee, as the registered
owner of such securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If securities are issued in definitive certificated form under
the limited circumstances described below and unless if otherwise provided in the description of the applicable securities herein or
in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will have the option of making payments by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled
to payment or by wire transfer to bank accounts in the United States designated in writing to the applicable trustee or other designated
party at least 15 days before the applicable payment date by the persons entitled to payment, unless a shorter period is satisfactory
to the applicable trustee or other designated party.
Redemption
proceeds, distributions and dividend payments on the securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested
by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt
of funds and corresponding detail information from us on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC records.
Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with
securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name.” Those payments will be the responsibility
of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption
proceeds, distributions and dividend payments to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative
of DTC, is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments
to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.
Except
under the limited circumstances described below, purchasers of securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their
names and will not receive physical delivery of securities. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and
its participants to exercise any rights under the securities and the indenture.
The
laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Those
laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in securities.
DTC
may discontinue providing its services as securities depositary with respect to the securities at any time by giving reasonable notice
to us. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained, securities certificates are required to be
printed and delivered.
As
noted above, beneficial owners of a particular series of securities generally will not receive certificates representing their ownership
interests in those securities. However, if:
|
●
|
DTC
notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the global security or securities representing such series
of securities or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when it is required to be registered
and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days of the notification to us or of our becoming aware of DTC’s ceasing
to be so registered, as the case may be;
|
|
●
|
we
determine, in our sole discretion, not to have such securities represented by one or more global securities; or
|
|
●
|
an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series of securities, we will prepare and deliver certificates
for such securities in exchange for beneficial interests in the global securities
|
we
will prepare and deliver certificates for such securities in exchange for beneficial interests in the global securities. Any beneficial
interest in a global security that is exchangeable under the circumstances described in the preceding sentence will be exchangeable for
securities in definitive certificated form registered in the names that the depositary directs. It is expected that these directions
will be based upon directions received by the depositary from its participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the
global securities.
Euroclear
and Clearstream
If
so provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, you may hold interests in a global security through Clearstream Banking S.A., which
we refer to as “Clearstream,” or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System, which we refer to as “Euroclear,”
either directly if you are a participant in Clearstream or Euroclear or indirectly through organizations which are participants in Clearstream
or Euroclear. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their respective participants through customers’ securities
accounts in the names of Clearstream and Euroclear, respectively, on the books of their respective U.S. depositaries, which in turn will
hold such interests in customers’ securities accounts in such depositaries’ names on DTC’s books.
Clearstream
and Euroclear are securities clearance systems in Europe. Clearstream and Euroclear hold securities for their respective participating
organizations and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between those participants through electronic book-entry
changes in their accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates.
Payments,
deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other matters relating to beneficial interests in global securities owned through Euroclear
or Clearstream must comply with the rules and procedures of those systems. Transactions between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream,
on one hand, and other participants in DTC, on the other hand, are also subject to DTC’s rules and procedures.
Investors
will be able to make and receive through Euroclear and Clearstream payments, deliveries, transfers and other transactions involving any
beneficial interests in global securities held through those systems only on days when those systems are open for business. Those systems
may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States.
Cross-market
transfers between participants in DTC, on the one hand, and participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on the other hand, will be effected
through DTC in accordance with the DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by their respective U.S.
depositaries; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case
may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (European
time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver
instructions to its U.S. depositary to take DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day fund
settlement. Participants in Euroclear or Clearstream may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. depositaries.
Due
to time zone differences, the securities accounts of a participant in Euroclear or Clearstream purchasing an interest in a global security
from a direct participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant participant in Euroclear or
Clearstream, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear or Clearstream) immediately
following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a global security
by or through a participant in Euroclear or Clearstream to a direct participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement
date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or
Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.
Other
The
information in this section of this prospectus concerning DTC, Clearstream, Euroclear and their respective book-entry systems has been
obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we do not take responsibility for this information. This information has been
provided solely as a matter of convenience. The rules and procedures of DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear are solely within the control
of those organizations and could change at any time. Neither we nor the trustee nor any agent of ours or of the trustee has any control
over those entities and none of us takes any responsibility for their activities. You are urged to contact DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear
or their respective participants directly to discuss those matters. In addition, although we expect that DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear
will perform the foregoing procedures, none of them is under any obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such
procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we nor any agent of ours will have any responsibility for the performance or nonperformance
by DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear or their respective participants of these or any other rules or procedures governing their respective
operations.
DESCRIPTION
OF UNITS
Below
is a description of certain general terms and provisions of the units that we may offer. Particular terms of the units will be described
in the applicable unit agreements and the applicable prospectus supplement for the units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus
supplements related to the units that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of
the units.
We
may issue units comprised of our common stock, our preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights, purchase contracts, or any combination
of such securities under this prospectus. Units may be issued in one or more series, independently or together with shares of our common
stock, our preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights or purchase contracts, and the units may be attached to or separate from
such securities. We may issue units directly or under a unit agreement to be entered into between us and a unit agent. We will name any
unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement. Any unit agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the units of a particular
series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of units. Each
unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit
will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement
the terms of the series of units, including the following:
|
●
|
the
designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those
securities may be held or transferred separately;
|
|
●
|
the
price or prices at which the units will be issued;
|
|
●
|
the
date, if any, on and after which the securities included in the units will be separately transferable;
|
|
●
|
any
provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described in this section; and
|
|
●
|
any
provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer, or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.
|
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
may sell the securities being offered by this prospectus separately or together:
|
●
|
directly
to purchasers;
|
|
●
|
through
agents;
|
|
●
|
to
or through underwriters;
|
|
●
|
through
dealers;
|
|
●
|
in
“at-the-market” offerings (as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act);
|
|
●
|
through
a block trade in which the broker or dealer engaged to handle the block trade will attempt to sell the securities as agent, but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
●
|
through
a combination of any of these methods of sale; or
|
|
●
|
through
any other method permitted by applicable law and described in a prospectus supplement.
|
In
addition, we may issue the securities being offered by this prospectus as a dividend or distribution. We may effect the distribution
of the securities from time to time in one or more transactions:
|
●
|
at
a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;
|
|
●
|
at
market prices prevailing at the times of sale;
|
|
●
|
at
prices related to prevailing market prices; or
|
|
●
|
at
negotiated prices.
|
For
example, we may engage in at-the-market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities
Act. We may also sell securities through a rights offering, forward contracts or similar arrangements. In any distribution of subscription
rights to stockholders, if all of the underlying securities are not subscribed for, we may then sell the unsubscribed securities directly
to third parties or may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealers or agents, including standby underwriters, to sell the
unsubscribed securities to third parties.
The
securities issued and sold under this prospectus will have no established trading market, other than our common stock, which is listed
on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Any shares of our common stock sold pursuant to this prospectus will be eligible for listing and trading
on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to official notice of issuance. Any underwriters to whom securities are sold by us for public offering
and sale may make a market in the securities, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making
at any time without notice. The securities, other than our common stock, may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange or
other trading market.
We
will set forth in a prospectus supplement:
|
●
|
the
terms of any underwriting or other agreement that we reach relating to sales under this prospectus;
|
|
●
|
the
method of distribution of the securities;
|
|
●
|
the
names of any agents, underwriters or dealers, including any managing underwriters, used in the offering of securities;
|
|
●
|
the
terms of any direct sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction process, or the terms of any other transactions;
|
|
●
|
any
delayed delivery obligations to take the securities;
|
|
●
|
the
compensation payable to agents, underwriters and dealers, which may be in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions;
|
|
●
|
any
activities that may be undertaken by agents, underwriters and dealers to stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the
securities; and
|
|
●
|
any
indemnification and contribution obligations owing to agents, underwriters and dealers.
|
If
we sell directly to institutional investors or others, they may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act
with respect to any resale of the securities. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, if we sell through an agent, such
agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. Any agent may be deemed to be an “underwriter”
of the securities as that term is defined in the Securities Act. If a dealer is used in the sale of the securities, we or an underwriter
will sell securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined
by the dealer at the time of resale.
To
the extent permitted by and in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, in connection with an offering an underwriter may
engage in over-allotments, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids. Over-allotments involve sales in excess
of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long
as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open
market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession
from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those
activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be otherwise. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue
any of the activities at any time.
To
the extent permitted by and in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, any underwriters who are qualified market makers
on The Nasdaq Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market during the
business day prior to the pricing of an offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers
must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market
maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered
below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase
limits are exceeded.
The
specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The
underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for
which they receive compensation.
No
securities may be sold under this prospectus without delivery, in paper format or in electronic format, or both, of the applicable prospectus
supplement describing the method and terms of the offering.
LEGAL
MATTERS
The
validity of the shares of common stock offered under this prospectus will be passed upon by Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP, Irvine,
California. Additional legal matters may be passed upon for us or any underwriters, dealers or agents, by counsel that we will name in
the applicable prospectus supplement. As appropriate, legal counsel representing the underwriters, dealers or agents will be named in
the accompanying prospectus supplement and may opine to certain legal matters.
