Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On April 17, 2026, VerifyMe, Inc. (the “Company”)

received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon

the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets Nasdaq

Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1 per share.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides a

compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until October 14, 2026, in which to regain compliance with the minimum bid price

requirement. If the Company evidences a closing bid price of at least $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days

during the 180-day compliance period, the Company will automatically regain compliance. In the event the Company does not regain

compliance with the $1 bid price requirement by October 14, 2026, the Company may be eligible for consideration of a second 180-day

compliance period if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial

listing standards for Nasdaq’s Capital Market, other than the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, the Company would

also be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the minimum bid price deficiency.

If the Company fails to regain compliance with

the Nasdaq continued listing standards, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting.

The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

The notification has no immediate effect on the

listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and consider

its available options in the event the closing bid price of its common stock remains below $1 per share.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements”

within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

amended. Words like “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” and “would” or the

negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, are used to identify forward-looking statements, although not

all forward-looking statements contain these words. Although the Company believes that it is basing its expectations and beliefs on reasonable

assumptions within the bounds of what is currently known about its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results

will not differ materially from what the Company expects or believes. Some of the factors that could cause the Company’s actual

results to differ materially from its expectations or beliefs are disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section, as well as other

sections, of its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which include, without limitation, its ability to regain compliance

with the Nasdaq Listing Standards and maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq. All forward-looking statements speak only as of

the date on which they are made and the Company undertakes no duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result

of new information, future events or otherwise.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
