Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On April 18, 2023, Verb Technology Company, Inc. (the “Company”) notified Weinberg & Company, P.A. (“Weinberg”) of its dismissal as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as of that date. The dismissal of Weinberg was approved by the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company on April 17, 2023. Weinberg’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that each report contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the existence of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there was no disagreements (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) between the Company and Weinberg on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Weinberg, would have caused Weinberg to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such fiscal years. Also, during this same period, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided Weinberg with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested that Weinberg furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Weinberg agrees with the above statements. A copy of Weinberg’s letter, dated April 21, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Effective on April 18, 2023, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. (“Grassi”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm commencing for its quarter ending March 31, 2023 and its fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Grassi regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Grassi concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, (iii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions), or (iv) any “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
