VerifyMe, Inc. Extends Merger Outside Date to Oct 31, 2026

What Happened

• VerifyMe, Inc. announced in an 8-K filed August 12, 2026 that on August 10, 2026 it entered into a Third Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger with VRME Subsidiary Corp. and Open World, Ltd. The amendment extends the merger “outside date” (the deadline to close the merger) from August 31, 2026 to October 31, 2026. The Third Amendment is included as Exhibit 2.1 to the filing.

Key Details

• Amendment effective date: August 10, 2026 (8-K filed August 12, 2026).
• Parties: VerifyMe, Inc., VRME Subsidiary Corp., and Open World, Ltd.
• Change: outside date extended from August 31, 2026 → October 31, 2026.
• Formal amendment text is attached to the 8-K as Exhibit 2.1.

Why It Matters

• The extension changes the expected timeline for the planned merger, giving the parties an additional two months to meet closing conditions and finalize the transaction. For investors, this affects when any merger-related outcomes (ownership changes, combined operations, or related disclosures) may occur and signals that the parties required more time to complete the deal. Watch for further updates or additional amendments that could affect timing or terms.
