[Form 4] Verb Technology Company, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On 07/31/2025 Verb Technology Company (VERB) awarded its Chairman, President & CEO, Rory J. Cutaia, 160,000 immediately-vesting restricted stock units (RSUs) at a stated price of $0 under an “Extraordinary Performance Agreement” adopted 10/31/2024. The independent directors concluded the grant was justified because quarterly revenue growth exceeded levels “reasonably contemplated” at adoption. After the transaction, Cutaia directly and beneficially owns 487,725 common shares/vested RSUs; no new derivative securities were reported.

The filing signals that management outperformed internal revenue targets and further aligns leadership pay with equity performance. However, the incremental share issuance adds modest dilution and concentrates even more voting power in a single insider who already serves as director, CEO, President and 10 % owner.

Positive

• Revenue performance exceeded board expectations, triggering the RSU grant, hinting at stronger operational momentum.
• Equity-based compensation further aligns the CEO’s incentives with shareholder value creation.

Negative

• The additional 160,000 shares create marginal dilution for existing shareholders.
• CEO’s expanded ownership and multiple leadership roles heighten governance and concentration risk.

Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Immediate vesting grant rewards outsized revenue growth but tightens CEO control and raises dilution & governance balance issues.

The board used a pre-approved performance plan to issue 160 k RSUs that vested at once, demonstrably linking pay to revenue outperformance—good alignment in principle. Yet the unrestricted nature of the award removes retention leverage and increases CEO’s clout to roughly 10 %+ of shares, potentially weakening minority-holder influence. As no cash was paid, the cost is pure dilution; size appears small relative to VERB’s float, so impact is limited but worth monitoring. Overall governance signal is mixed.

Portfolio Manager

TL;DR: Performance-based equity grant hints at stronger revenue trend; dilution minimal, market impact likely neutral-to-slightly positive.

The grant suggests management beat aggressive internal sales targets, implying positive momentum ahead of future earnings. 160 k shares add only a fraction to outstanding stock, so EPS drag is negligible. Insider continuing to accumulate stock may be read as confidence, yet investors should weigh the growing single-person ownership risk. No option exercises or sales were disclosed, removing immediate selling pressure. Net market impact: modestly constructive but not a thesis-changing event.

Explanation of Responses:

1. The restricted stock units (the "RSUs") granted to the Reporting Person on July 31, 2025 (the "grant date") as referenced herein, are issued pursuant to that October 31, 2024 Corporate Action, Change of Control, and Extraordinary Performance Agreement (the "Extraordinary Performance Agreement") instituted and adopted by the board of directors of the Issuer (the "Board"), pursuant to which the Board determined to grant RSUs to the Reporting Person upon the achievement of certain quarterly revenue-based performance metrics. The RSUs vested on the grant date. The Company's independent board members determined that issuance of the balance of the RSUs contemplated under the Extraordinary Performance Agreement was warranted given the meaningful growth of revenue attributed to the measures and strategies employed and executed by the recipients, well beyond what was reasonably contemplated at the time the Extraordinary Performance Agreement was adopted.

2. The total reported in Column 5 includes the (i) 160,000 newly awarded restricted stock units, of which all 160,000 have vested, (ii) 80,000 restricted stock units, of which all 80,000 have vested (iii) 60,000 restricted stock units, of which all 60,000 have vested, (iv) 60,000 restricted stock units, of which all 60,000 have vested, (v) 24,279 restricted stock units, of which 0 have vested, (vi) 16,310 restricted stock units, of which 0 have vested, and (vii) 169 shares of common stock.
