Insights
TL;DR: Davidson Kempner reports a material 7.00% passive stake in LivePerson, disclosed via Schedule 13G; voting control is shared, not sole.
The filing shows Davidson Kempner-related entities collectively hold 10,491,933 shares, equal to 7.00% of LivePerson's 149,958,904 shares used for the calculation. The report is filed under Schedule 13G, indicating the holders describe their position as passive rather than an activist intent to change control. Shared voting and dispositive power is disclosed; no sole voting power is claimed. For investors, this is a material ownership disclosure but not an explicit change-of-control or activist move.
TL;DR: A 7% stake by an institutional manager is material for governance considerations but is reported as passive with shared voting rights.
The Schedule 13G identifies DKCM and affiliated funds as the decision-makers with Anthony A. Yoseloff named as responsible for voting and investment decisions. The certification states the securities were not acquired to influence control, consistent with a Section 13(g) passive reporting posture. The disclosure is important for board and governance monitoring, yet it does not, by itself, indicate an intent to pursue board representation or strategic change.
