LivePerson urges stockholders to vote by Sept 1 to approve merger with SoundHound AI at Sept 2 meeting.

LivePerson has extended the deadline for stockholders to vote on its proposed merger with SoundHound AI to September 1, 2026, ahead of a special meeting on September 2. Over 97% of votes cast so far support the deal, which offers a 22% premium per share, but approval requires a majority of all outstanding shares. The company warns that failure to approve the merger risks LivePerson continuing as a standalone company facing business challenges. Stockholders are urged to vote promptly to secure the benefits of the transaction and protect their investment value.
