Purpose of Transaction (Item 4)
Stedham Adam H
In accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among VerifyMe, Inc., VRME Subsidiary Corp. and Open Word Ltd. (the Merger), the Merger closed on September 30, 2026. A full description of the closing of the Merger is located in the Issuer's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 30, 2026. Immediately after giving effect to the Merger, there were approximately 13,407,360 Shares of common stock issued and outstanding, resulting in Mr. Stedham ceasing to be a five percent or greater beneficial owner of the Issuer.Item 4 of the SCHEDULE 13D/A filed 2026-10-02

The 8% Convertible Subordinated Promissory Note in the principal amount of $175,000 (the Note), which was purchased by the Trust in the Issuer's private placement on August 25, 2023, matured on August 25, 2026. On August 25, 2026, the Issuer paid the Trust the principal amount of $175,000 plus accrued interest of $7,000, in accordance with the terms of the Note. Therefore, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own the 152,174 Shares into which the Note may have been converted. This has resulted in a change of 1% of the Reporting Person's beneficial ownership that was reported in the Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 2).Item 4 of the SCHEDULE 13D/A filed 2026-08-26

Where this comes from
Anyone who comes to own more than 5% of a class of a listed company's voting shares has to tell the SEC. A holder who may seek to change or influence the company files Schedule 13D, and has to say in Item 4, "Purpose of Transaction", what it intends to do. A holder with no such intent, such as many index and passive funds, may file the shorter Schedule 13G. Both are amended when the stake changes, including when it falls below 5%.
Every row here is one of those filings, linked to the filing itself. Percentages and share counts are exactly as the holder filed them, for the holder the filing names; an amendment showing a lower figure is shown as filed. Item 4 text is quoted word for word. Where a 13D's Item 4 contains a sentence stating a definite intent to influence the company, that sentence is marked and quoted; the page does not describe the holder or its motives beyond the words it filed. Nothing here is investment advice.
