As further described under Item 5.07 below, at the Annual Meeting (as defined below), the stockholders of LivePerson, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (A) to authorize an increase in the number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized for issuance under the plan by 5,340,000 shares and (B) to clarify that any dividend or dividend equivalent rights provided as part of any award under the plan may not allow for dividends to be paid currently, but rather all such dividends must be accrued and paid only when and if the underlying award vests. Descriptions of the material terms of the plan are set forth under the heading “Proposal No. 4 Amendment to the Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Incentive Plan” in the proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2025, which description is hereby incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.
