LivePerson has sent a letter to its shareholders urging them to vote in favor of its proposed acquisition by SoundHound AI at a special meeting on August 20, 2026. The merger promises a combined company with a strong balance sheet, no debt, and greater scale, offering LivePerson shareholders a 22% premium in value and the opportunity to participate in future growth. The combined entity expects revenues between $350 million and $400 million in 2027, aiming for $500 million based on its existing customer base. Shareholders are encouraged to vote promptly to avoid delays and secure approval for the transaction, which is seen as the best strategic alternative for maximizing shareholder value amid LivePerson's significant debt challenges.
