Clarification Regarding Preliminary Proxy Statement Filed on August 27, 2025
For purposes of clarification and in response to investor questions, LivePerson, Inc.(“LivePerson”) is providing this additional detail regarding the proposed authorization for a potential future reverse stock split discussed in the preliminary proxy statement filed by LivePerson with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2025 on Schedule 14A (“Proxy Statement”) and the accompanying proxy card.
Proposal No. 1 in the Proxy Statement seeks shareholder authorization primarily in response to the notice received from Nasdaq on May 1, 2025 regarding LivePerson’s compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. It has not been determined whether any future potential reverse stock split will be necessary to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Global Select Market listing rules. LivePerson’s Board of Directors would effect the reverse stock split only if LivePerson’s Board of Directors determines in the future that the reverse stock split would be in the best interests of LivePerson and its stockholders at the time of such determination. As of August 28, 2025, the closing bid price of LivePerson’s common stock had met or exceeded $1.00 per share for the prior eight consecutive trading days.

business by man-made problems; potential limitations on our ability to use net operating losses to offset future taxable income; risks related to our common stock being traded on more than one securities exchange; and other factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025.
