[{"type":"text","content":" DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nVeritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), creator of aiWARE, a hyper-expansive Enterprise AI platform, today announced that it has entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions (the “Agreements”) with certain holders of its outstanding 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) to repurchase (the “Repurchases”) approximately 30% of the outstanding Notes or $60 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for an aggregate cash repurchase price of approximately $38 million. The final aggregate cash repurchase price will be determined based on the sum of (i) approximately $37.5 million based on Veritone’s November 29, 2022 closing stock price of $5.60 per share, (ii) an amount (which may be positive or negative) based in part on the daily volume-weighted average price per share of Veritone’s common stock during a 10-trading day pricing period following the execution of the Agreements and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the closing date. The actual amount of cash paid in the Repurchases could vary from the estimated aggregate repurchase price depending on changes in the trading price of Veritone’s common stock during the measurement period. The Repurchases are expected to close on or about December 16, 2022, subject to certain closing conditions. Following the closing of the Repurchases, Veritone intends to cancel the repurchased Notes and, after such cancellation of repurchased Notes, approximately $141 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes will remain outstanding. The Repurchases could affect the market price of Veritone’s common stock.\n\nThis press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any offer or sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.\n\nAbout Veritone\n\nVeritone (NASDAQ: VERI) is a leader in enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) software and solutions.
