LivePerson (LPSN) announced that its stockholders approved the proposed acquisition by SoundHound AI (SOUN) at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on September 2, 2026.
The approval satisfies a key condition for the planned combination of LivePerson’s predictable conversational AI platform with SoundHound AI’s capabilities. LivePerson’s CEO John Sabino said the vote represents an important step toward joining forces with SoundHound AI and, in the company’s view, better positioning the combined business to serve customers and partners at scale and to realize “significant value creation potential” for stockholders.
The transaction is expected to close on September 4, 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. LivePerson plans to report the final, certified voting results from the Special Meeting in a Form 8-K to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
LivePerson (NASDAQ: LPSN) is urging stockholders to vote on the proposed transaction with SoundHound AI ahead of the September 1, 2026, 11:59 p.m. ET proxy voting deadline. The Special Meeting of Stockholders is scheduled to reconvene on September 2, 2026.
According to LivePerson, as of August 20, 2026, over 97% of shares that have voted support the transaction, but unvoted shares effectively count against approval. The company states that failure to obtain sufficient votes would mean the merger is not completed, LivePerson remains standalone, and it would continue to face significant risks and debt, which it warns could eventually result in stockholders receiving no value for their shares.
The company outlines multiple voting methods (online, phone, mail) and provides specific instructions for stockholders of record as of July 6, 2026, including special procedures for holders of shares listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange using Israeli systems and documentation.
LivePerson (NASDAQ: LPSN) has reminded stockholders that there is additional time to vote on its proposed transaction with SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN). The special meeting has been adjourned to September 2, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. ET, with the new deadline to vote online or by phone set at September 1, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
According to LivePerson, over 97% of votes cast to date support the merger, but approval still requires a majority of all outstanding shares, and the company states it is only a few percentage points short of that threshold. LivePerson highlights that non‑voting has the same effect as voting against the deal. Stockholders would receive SoundHound shares valued at approximately $3.33 per LivePerson share as of the April 21, 2026 announcement, described as an approximately 22% premium over LivePerson’s prior 30‑day volume‑weighted average price.
LivePerson (NASDAQ: LPSN) announced that its Special Meeting of Stockholders, originally held on August 20, 2026, was convened and immediately adjourned to September 2, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The rescheduled meeting will continue to be conducted virtually via live audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LPSN2026SM.
According to LivePerson, based on preliminary results, over 97% of shares that have voted to date support the proposed merger with SoundHound AI. However, the transaction requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all outstanding LivePerson shares, a threshold described as only a few percentage points away. Stockholders of record at the close of business on July 6, 2026 remain entitled to vote, and previously submitted proxies are still valid. The company urges remaining stockholders, including those holding shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, to submit votes by proxy card, online, or phone.
LivePerson (NASDAQ: LPSN) is urging stockholders to vote FOR its proposed transaction with SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) before the proxy deadline of 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, ahead of the special meeting on August 20, 2026.
According to LivePerson, the merger requires approval by a majority of all outstanding shares, so not voting has the same effect as voting against. The company highlights that its outstanding debt exceeds the total transaction value, and secured noteholders have agreed to exchange their notes at a substantial discount to approximately $350 million par value. As a result, most LivePerson stockholders are expected to receive SoundHound stock valued at about $3.33 per share as of April 21, 2026, a stated 22% premium to the 30-day volume-weighted average price before the announcement. TASE-listed holders will receive substantially equivalent cash consideration.
LivePerson (NASDAQ: LPSN) has issued a letter urging stockholders to vote “FOR” its pending acquisition by SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) at a Special Meeting on August 20, 2026, 10:00 a.m. ET. The Board unanimously recommends approval, and proxy advisors ISS and Glass Lewis support this stance.
According to LivePerson, most stockholders would receive SoundHound common stock valued at approximately $3.33 per LPSN share based on the April 21, 2026 announcement, a 22% premium to LivePerson’s 30‑day VWAP; TASE holders would receive substantially equivalent cash. SoundHound has stated it expects combined 2027 revenue of at least $350–$400 million, potentially scaling to $500 million from the existing customer base, with a strong, debt‑free balance sheet. The merger requires approval by a majority of all outstanding shares, so shares not voted effectively count as “AGAINST.” LivePerson highlights standalone risks including a 22% revenue drop in 2023, significant debt, limited capital‑markets access, potential Nasdaq delisting, and possible inability to service debt that could lead to reorganization.
LivePerson (NASDAQ: LPSN) released a corrected notice urging stockholders to vote “FOR” its pending acquisition by SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) at the August 20, 2026 Special Meeting. The Board unanimously supports the all‑stock transaction and notes that Glass Lewis also recommends a “FOR” vote.
Most LivePerson stockholders would receive SoundHound common stock valued at approximately $3.33 per share as of April 21, 2026, a 22% premium to LivePerson’s prior 30‑day VWAP, while Tel Aviv Stock Exchange holders would receive substantially equivalent cash. According to LivePerson, SoundHound has indicated an expected combined 2027 revenue range of at least $350–$400 million, potentially scaling to $500 million, and a strong, debt‑free balance sheet.
The company contrasts this with severe standalone risks, citing a 22% revenue decline in 2023, continued commercial headwinds in 2024–2025, significant debt, limited capital market access, potential Nasdaq delisting, and the possibility of reorganization in which stockholders could receive no value. Approval requires a majority of all outstanding shares, so not voting has the same effect as voting against the merger. The release also corrects an earlier version that inadvertently referenced ISS, whose report had not yet been published.
LivePerson (NASDAQ: LPSN) reminds stockholders of its investor town hall and Q&A webcast on Wednesday, August 5, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET, where CEO John Sabino will discuss the previously announced proposed acquisition by SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN).
According to LivePerson, the town hall will cover the value and potential future upside LivePerson stockholders may receive in the transaction, the Board’s process in reaching the deal, the negotiated resolution with debtholders, and what could occur if stockholders do not approve the transaction. The company urges investors to vote “FOR” the merger proposal before the August 20, 2026 Special Meeting, noting that approval requires a majority of all outstanding common shares and that not voting has the same effect as voting against. The release also outlines proxy voting methods and provides specific instructions for LivePerson stockholders holding shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
LivePerson (NASDAQ: LPSN) has mailed a letter urging stockholders to vote FOR its previously announced acquisition by SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) and announced an investor town hall and Q&A on August 5, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET, accessible via ir.liveperson.com.
According to LivePerson, based on proxy statement assumptions, most stockholders are expected to receive SoundHound stock that was valued at approximately $3.33 per LivePerson share at announcement, about a 22% premium to LivePerson’s 30‑day average price before the deal was announced. The final exchange ratio depends on SoundHound’s stock price near closing.
LivePerson states its outstanding debt currently exceeds the total transaction value and that secured noteholders agreed to a substantial discount so stockholders can receive consideration. The company warns that if the transaction is not approved, there is a “real risk” shares could ultimately be worth little or nothing. The special meeting is set for August 20, 2026, and approval requires a majority of all outstanding shares, meaning shares not voted count as votes against. TASE-listed stockholders are expected to receive cash consideration reflecting approximately equivalent value, subject to an aggregate cash cap.
