LivePerson Board Urges Shareholders to Support Acquisition by SoundHound AI

LivePerson's (LPSN) Board of Directors has issued a formal letter urging stockholders to vote "FOR" the Company's pending acquisition by SoundHound AI (SOUN). A Special Meeting of Stockholders to vote on the merger is scheduled for August 20. The LivePerson Board of Directors unanimously recommended that stockholders vote "for" the transaction, and independent proxy advisory firms ISS and Glass Lewis support the Board's recommendation. The LivePerson board encourages stockholders to predicate their vote on the following facts: a vote "for" the transaction is a vote "in favor of exchanging shares at an attractive premium for shares in a company with a strong balance sheet and future potential upside"; a vote "against" the transaction, or no vote at all, "potentially exposes stockholders to the significant risks associated with continuing as a standalone company", including "the risks of continued slowing or degradation of LivePerson's business given commercial headwinds from the company's standalone financial profile, potential delisting from the Nasdaq, and potential inability to service or repay LivePerson's substantial debt and/or comply with debt-related financial covenants, which could eventually lead to reorganization, in which stockholders would in all likelihood receive no value for their shares". The transaction requires approval by the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares.
