Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 17, 2018, Veritone, Inc. (the “Registrant”) published presentation materials that it intends to use for investor meetings. A copy of the materials, entitled “January 2018 Presentation” has been posted in the “Investor Resources” section of the “Investor Relations” page on the Registrant’s website at investors.veritone.com.

Such presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Registrant’s strategies to expand its operations, including plans to expand and grow its Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform, including adding additional applications and cognitive engines; the Registrant’s ability to successfully market its products and services; the potential growth opportunities in its markets; the competitive advantages of the Registrant’s technology and services; the potential of its platforms and products to generate sales and revenues; and the estimated size and spending of the Registrant’s markets in the future. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “would,” “could,” “should,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. The Registrant may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in its forward-looking statements, and readers should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in such presentation represent its management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Registrant has included important factors in the cautionary statements included in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the prospectus included in the registration statements that it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2017, particularly in the Risk Factors sections of those filings, that it believes could cause actual results or events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, the Registrant assumes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Neither this information nor the referenced materials shall be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing by the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as may be set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
