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.
