of the Company. Each of the Mergers became effective at the time of the filing of the respective certificate of merger with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware on the Closing Date (the “First Merger Effective Time” and “Second Merger
Effective Time”, as applicable). All defined terms used in Current Report on Form 8-K that are not otherwise defined herein
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
the Closing Date, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with
the holders of First Lien Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “First Lien Secured Notes”) and 10.0% Second Lien
Senior Subordinated Secured Notes (the “Second Lien Secured Notes” and, together with the First Lien Secured Notes,

providing for certain resale shelf registration rights with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(“Company Common Stock”), issuable pursuant to the Notes Restructuring Agreement (as defined below).
The
Registration Rights Agreement requires the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), providing for the resale of all or part of the Company Common Stock received by the Secured Holders
pursuant to the Notes Restructuring Agreement, on the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to certain permissible delays,
and to use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable, and thereafter
to keep such registration statement effective for the periods specified therein. The Registration Rights Agreement also contains customary
indemnity, exculpation and contribution obligations by the Company and the other parties to the Registration Rights Agreement.
The
foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety
by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on

$0.001 (“LivePerson Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the First Merger Effective Time (other than certain excluded shares, including shares
of LivePerson Common Stock that are held through the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Clearing
House Ltd. (“TASE Shares”)) automatically converted into the right to
receive 0.4673 shares of Company Common Stock (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”)
in accordance with the previously disclosed terms of the Merger Agreement; and
● at
the Second Merger Effective Time, each share of LivePerson’s Common Stock that was
a TASE Share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective
Time automatically converted into the right to receive $3.31 in cash in accordance with the
previously disclosed terms of the Merger Agreement.
1
Additionally,
at the First Merger Effective Time, (i) each option to purchase shares of LivePerson Common Stock was cancelled for no consideration;
(ii) restricted stock units with respect to shares of LivePerson Common Stock (the “LivePerson RSUs”) held by non-employee
directors of LivePerson and each LivePerson RSU that was vested but not yet settled became entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration
in respect of each LivePerson RSU (or otherwise the cash value of such Per Share Merger Consideration, if applicable), less applicable
tax withholdings; (iii) all other LivePerson RSUs were assumed by the Company and converted into corresponding awards denominated in
shares of the Company Common Stock, and (iv) all warrants to purchase shares of LivePerson Common Stock were cancelled for no consideration,
in each case, in accordance with the previously disclosed terms of the Merger Agreement.
The

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Section
2.01 Resale Shelf Registration.
(a) The
Company shall (i) file on the date hereof (the “Filing Deadline”) a registration statement on Form S-3, including but
not limited to by way of a prospectus supplement to an existing shelf registration statement of the Company, to register for resale from
time to time the Registrable Securities of the Holders then outstanding on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the
1933 Act or any successor rule thereto (such shelf registration, a “Shelf Registration”, and such registration
statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”) and (ii) use its reasonable best effort to maintain the effectiveness
of such registration statement in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 2.01. The Shelf Registration Statement shall be an
“automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the 1933 Act and shall become effective upon filing
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that if the Company is not eligible to
use an “automatic shelf registration statement” as of the Filing Deadline, the Company shall nevertheless file a Shelf Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (or such other appropriate form) on the Filing Deadline and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such
Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event
later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days following the Filing Deadline if the Commission notifies the Company that it will
“review” the Shelf Registration Statement and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the date the Company is notified
(orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will
not be subject to further review (such earlier time, the “Effectiveness Deadline”). The “Plan of Distribution”
section of such Shelf Registration Statement shall permit all methods of distribution permitted by applicable law, including underwritten
offerings, at-the-market transactions, brokerage transactions, Rule 144 sales, private transactions, “bought deals,” overnight
underwritten offerings, block trades, trades through options, short sales, forward sales, puts, agented transactions, stock lending transactions,
hedging and other derivative transactions and sales not involving a public offering by its pledgees, assignees, donees, transferees or
successors-in-interest.
(b) The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep any Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the 1933 Act (including,
if necessary, by renewing or refiling a Shelf Registration Statement prior to expiration of the existing Shelf Registration Statement
or by filing with the Commission a post-effective amendment or a supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or any document incorporated
therein by reference or by filing any other required document or otherwise supplementing or amending the Shelf Registration Statement,
if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration
Statement or by the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities or blue sky laws, or any rules and regulations thereunder) in order to
permit the prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by Holders, as to such Registrable Securities, until the date as of which such
securities cease to be Registrable Securities.
(c) The
Company will use reasonable best efforts to remain eligible to use Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration
of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on a continuous
basis on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Holders, including a Form S-1, and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable
Securities on Form S-3 promptly; provided, that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then
in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the
Commission.
3
(d) Notwithstanding
anything contained herein, in the event that the Commission requires the Company to reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be
included in a Shelf Registration Statement in order to allow the Company to rely on Rule 415 with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement,
then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Registration Statement to the maximum
number of securities as is permitted to be registered by the Commission. Any such reduction shall be allocated among the Holders on a
pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Holder relative to the aggregate number of Registrable Securities
held by all Holders. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to file one or more additional Shelf Registration Statements so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities not covered
by such initial Shelf Registration Statement until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Shelf Registration Statements
that have been declared effective and the prospectuses contained therein are available for use by the Holders, in each case as soon as
practicable (taking into account any position of the staff of the Commission with respect to the date on which the Commission will permit
such additional Shelf Registration Statement(s) to be filed and the rules and regulations of the Commission).
(e) If
(i) the Shelf Registration Statement is not filed by the Filing Deadline (regardless of application of a Blackout Period), (ii) the Shelf
Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) after the Shelf Registration Statement has
been declared effective, such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective or the prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable
for a period in excess of any Blackout Period permitted under Section 2.05, or (iv) the Holders are otherwise unable to use the
Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus contained therein due to the operation of Section 2.02(d) or the last paragraph
of Section 2.02 (each such event, a “Registration Default”), then the Company shall pay to each Holder, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 1.0% of such Holder’s pro rata portion, determined based on the Holder Shares (as
defined in the Notes Restructuring Agreement) actually received by the Holder on the date hereof or transferred to the Holder in connection
with an assignment pursuant to Section 3.05, of (x) the First Lien Holder Aggregate Stock Consideration Amount (as defined in the Notes
Restructuring Agreement) or (y) the Second Lien Holder Aggregate Stock Consideration Amount (as defined in the Notes Restructuring Agreement),
as applicable, constituting Registrable Securities subject to such Registration Default (the “Consideration Amount”)
for each 30-day period (or pro rata portion thereof) during which such Registration Default continues (each such payment, a “Registration
Delay Payment”). Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the first Business Day following each 30-day period during which
a Registration Default is continuing and shall accrue from and including the date on which the applicable Registration Default first occurs
until such Registration Default is cured; provided that the aggregate Registration Delay Payments made to any Holder pursuant to this
Agreement shall in no event exceed 3.0% of such Holder’s Consideration Amount. The Parties agree that the Registration Delay Payments
represent a reasonable estimate of the damages that may be incurred by the Holders by reason of any Registration Default and shall not
be deemed to constitute a penalty.
Section
2.02 Registration Procedures. With respect to any registration which includes Registrable Securities held by a Holder, the
Company will, subject to Section 2.01, promptly:
(a) prepare
and file with the Commission a registration statement on the appropriate form prescribed by the Commission and cause such registration
statement to become effective, each in accordance with Section 2.01, and to be maintained in effect in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement; provided, further, that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto (excluding any filings required to be made pursuant to the 1934 Act in the reasonable determination of the Company), the Company
will furnish to the Holders covered by such registration statement and their counsel copies of or drafts of all such documents proposed
to be filed, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing thereof, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of
such Holders and their counsel. Each Holder will have the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Holder that is contained
therein and the Company will make the corrections reasonably requested by such Holder with respect to such information two (2) Business
Days prior to filing any registration statement or amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto; provided, however,
that the Company will not include on any registration statement or amendment thereto (excluding any filings required to be made pursuant
to the 1934 Act in the reasonable determination of the Company) or any prospectus or any supplement thereto Registrable Securities of
any Holder that objects in writing one (1) Business Days prior to such filing to such inclusion in such filing or to any description of
it therein. In no event shall any Holder be identified as a statutory underwriter in the registration statement unless in response to
a comment or request from the staff of the Commission or another regulatory agency; provided, however, that if the Commission
requests that a Holder be identified as a statutory underwriter in the registration statement, such Holder will have an opportunity to
withdraw from the registration statement;
4
(b) prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to such registration statement and any documents required to
be incorporated by reference therein as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective; cause the prospectus to be supplemented
by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act; and comply with the
provisions of the 1933 Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such
registration statement or supplement to the prospectus;
(c) furnish
to such Holder, without charge, such number of conformed copies of the registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto,
as such Holder may reasonably request, and such number of copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendments
or supplements thereto, and any documents incorporated by reference therein as the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of the securities being sold by such Holder (it being understood that the Company consents in writing to the use by the
Holder covered by the registration statement in connection with the offering and sale of the securities covered by the prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto that is prepared by the Company);
(d) promptly
notify such Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, when the Company becomes
aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement (as then in effect) contains
any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus
or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and, as promptly as practicable
thereafter, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the Company becoming aware of such event, prepare and file with the Commission
and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the investors of such securities, such prospectus
will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(e) provide
and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the
registration statement;
(f) use
its reasonable best efforts to cause all securities included in such registration statement to be listed, by the date of the first sale
of securities pursuant to such registration statement, on any national securities exchange, quotation system or other market on which
the Common Stock is then listed or proposed to be listed by the Company;
(g) make
generally available to its security holders an earnings statement, which need not be audited, satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a)
of the 1933 Act as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the twelve (12)-month period beginning with the first month of the
Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the registration statement, which statement shall cover said
twelve (12)-month period;
5
(h) after
the filing of a registration statement, (i) promptly notify each Holder covered by such registration statement of any stop order issued
or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission and of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect
to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any
jurisdiction and (ii) take all reasonable actions to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement or the qualification of any Registrable Securities at the earliest possible moment;
(i) if
requested by such Holder, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such Holder
reasonably requests to be included therein; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as
soon as practicable after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
(j) on
or prior to the date on which the registration statement is declared effective, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify,
and cooperate with such Holder and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of, the securities covered by the
registration statement for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States
as such Holder requests in writing, to use reasonable best efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective, including
through new filings, or amendments or renewals, do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in
all such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable registration statement; provided that the Company will
not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which
would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise subject;
(k) cooperate
with such Holder if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates or DRS or other book-entry statements (in each
case not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such securities
to be in such denominations and registered in such names as such Holder may request;
(l) pay
the filing fee covering all Registrable Securities included in a registration statement at the time such registration statement is filed;
and
(m) otherwise
use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary or reasonably advisable to effect the registration
of such Registrable Securities contemplated by this Agreement.
The Holders, upon receipt
of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.02(d) will forthwith discontinue
disposition of the securities until the Holders’ receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section
2.02(d) or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed,
and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed
by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s sole expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then
in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

Section
2.03 Registration Expenses.
(a) In
the case of any registration hereunder, the Company shall bear all expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement,
including all Commission filing fees and expenses, fees and expenses of listing any Registrable Securities on any securities exchange
on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, the costs and charges
of any transfer agent and any registrar, all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance
of an offering by, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., printing expenses, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants and subject to the limitations set forth
in Schedule B hereto, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to the Holders.
(b) The
obligation of the Company to bear the expenses described in Section 2.03(a) shall apply irrespective of whether a registration,
once properly demanded, if applicable, becomes effective, is withdrawn or suspended or revoked, or is converted to another form of registration
and irrespective of when any of the foregoing shall occur.
Section
2.04 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, each Holder, its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, members, general and limited partners, Affiliates and agents and
each Person who controls (within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act) the Holder, including any general partner or manager of
any thereof, against all losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements)
arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in
any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, any “issuer free
writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under the 1933 Act), any written communication undertaken in reliance on either Section
5(d) of, or Rule 163B under, the 1933 Act, in an offering of Registrable Securities in which such Holder participates, or in any document
incorporated by reference therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made) not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the information conveyed
to any purchaser at the time of the sale to such purchaser, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein, or (iii) any violation by the Company of any federal, state, common or other law, rule or regulation applicable
to the Company in connection with such registration, including the 1933 Act, any state securities or “blue sky” laws or any
rule or regulation thereunder in connection with such registration, except in each case insofar as the same are made in reliance on and
in strict conformity with any information with respect to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for
use therein.
(b) Indemnification
by the Holders. In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder will furnish to
the Company in writing such information with respect to such Holder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any
registration statement or prospectus covering the Registrable Securities of such Holder and to the extent permitted by law agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the 1933 Act or
the 1934 Act) the Company and any other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based
upon any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements in the registration statement or prospectus or preliminary prospectus (in the case of the prospectus or preliminary prospectus,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or omission is made in reliance on and in conformity with the written information or signed affidavit with respect to such Holder so furnished
in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the registration statement or prospectus; provided, however, that the obligation
to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders and the liability of each such Holder shall be in proportion
to and limited to the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company and the Holders hereby acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise expressly
agreed to in writing by the applicable Holders, the only information furnished or to be furnished to the Company for use in any registration
statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or in any amendment, supplement or preliminary materials associated therewith
are statements specifically relating to (a) the beneficial ownership of Registrable Securities by such Holder and its Affiliates and (b)
the name and address of such Holder.
7
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt
written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified
party’s reasonable judgment there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are in
addition to or may conflict with those available to the indemnifying party with respect to such claim or unless such representation would
present a conflict of interest, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party. The failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability
hereunder with respect to the action, except to the extent that such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give
such notice; provided, however, that any such failure shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability
which it may have to any other party. No indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the written
consent of such indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant
or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation and (ii) does not include
any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party An indemnifying
party shall not be liable under this Section 2.04 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to
the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification
or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated
to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim.
(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided
for in Section 2.04(a) and Section 2.04(b), is unavailable to an indemnified party as contemplated by Section 2.04(a)
and Section 2.04(b), then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result
of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder be greater in amount than the amount
of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon such sale or the amount for which such indemnifying party would have been obligated to
pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided in Section 2.04(b) had been available. No Person guilty (as determined
in a final non-appealable judgement) of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
8
SECTION
2.05 Blackout Periods. Upon giving written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities (which notice shall not, without the
prior written consent of any Holder, disclose to such Holder any material non-public information), the Company shall be entitled to delay
or suspend the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement or any amendment thereto or suspend the Holders’ use of any
prospectus or any supplement thereto only to the extent reasonably necessary, if (a) the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”)
determines that a postponement is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders generally due to a proposed transaction involving
the Company and determines in good faith that the Company’s ability to pursue or consummate such a transaction would be materially
and adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in such registration statement, or (b) the Board determines such
registration would render the Company unable to comply with applicable securities laws, in each case as certified in a certificate of
the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company; provided, further, that (i) the Company may not
delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend, any registration statement for longer than forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days
(such period, a “Blackout Period”), in excess of ninety (90) days in any 12-month period or more than two (2) times
in any 12-month period, (ii) the Company may not commence a Blackout Period within twenty (20) calendar days after the expiration of
a prior Blackout Period, (iii) the Company shall promptly notify the Holders in writing upon the termination of any Blackout Period,
and (iv) the Company may not file any registration statement during a Blackout Period (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any similar
successor forms or another form used for a purpose similar to the intended use for such forms).
SECTION
2.06 Participation in Registrations. No Holder may participate in any registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to
sell its securities on the basis provided in the “Plan of Distribution”, and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires
and other documents customarily required under the terms of such registration and provides such written information concerning itself
as may be required for registration, including for inclusion in any registration statement; provided that such Holder shall be
required to complete and execute such documents and provide such written information only to the extent the Holders of a majority of
Registrable Securities participating in such registration shall also be required to complete and execute such documents and provide such
written information.
SECTION
2.07 Rule 144. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the
1934 Act or the 1933 Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the 1934 Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule
144), and shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable
the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the 1933 Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by
Rule 144. Promptly upon request, the Company shall deliver to any Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such
requirements and any other documents reasonably requested to remove restrictive legends or sell shares under Rule 144. The Company shall
instruct the transfer agent to remove any legend, notation or similar designation restricting transferability of the Registrable Securities
from the certificates or book-entries evidencing Registrable Securities if (a) such shares of Common Stock are sold pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the 1933 Act; (b) a registration statement covering the resale of such shares of Common Stock is effective
under the 1933 Act and the applicable Holder and any broker-dealer in custody of such securities delivers to the Company a “will
comply” representation letter reasonably acceptable to the Company and its counsel; (c) such shares of Common Stock are sold or
transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or (d) such shares of Common Stock are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without the requirement that
the Company has complied with the public reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, provided that in the case of each of subsections
(a) through (d), the Company and its transfer agent have timely received from Holder and any broker-dealer in custody of such securities
customary representation and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the transfer agent in connection therewith.
The Company shall bear all reasonable fees and expenses, including any legal opinion fees, reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses
of counsel to the Holders subject to the limitations set forth in Schedule B hereto, transfer agent fees, and other out-of-pocket costs,
incurred in connection with the removal of such legends.
SECTION
2.08 Further Assurance. Each Holder hereby agrees to take any and all reasonable actions required to be taken hereunder to ensure
the performance by it of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

to any investment fund or other entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with such Holder) and is unable to immediately

Exhibit 99.1
SoundHound AI Completes Acquisition of LivePerson, Creating a World-Leading
Omnichannel Conversational AI Powerhouse
Combined company appoints John Collins as Chief Financial Officer
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — September 04, 2026 — SoundHound
AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: SOUN), a global leader in voice and agentic AI, today announced the successful completion of its acquisition of LivePerson,
Inc., and the appointment of John Collins as the combined company’s Chief Financial Officer.
With the transaction officially closed, SoundHound AI immediately expands
its market footprint, with a customer base that includes 25 of the Fortune 100, and a strengthened IP portfolio of over 750 patents. The
combination brings together LivePerson’s extensive enterprise digital messaging infrastructure with SoundHound’s proprietary voice agentic
AI. LivePerson’s platform will be integrated into OASYS, SoundHound’s self-learning Orchestrated Agent System, which is the
result of decades of innovation from SoundHound and its recent acquisitions. The unified platform will deliver a world-leading fully integrated,
end-to-end customer engagement solution that operates natively across voice, web, mobile, SMS, and social channels.
“This merger represents a defining moment for the new agentic
AI era. Together, we are delivering the most complete AI platform to the most comprehensive enterprise customer base in the industry,”
said Keyvan Mohajer, CEO and Co-Founder of SoundHound AI. “Now global brands have a single, unified engine to power
intelligent customer interactions — scaling SoundHound’s reach to serve every enterprise, on every channel, at an unprecedented
level.”
Highlights of the closed transaction include a strong and fully debt-free
combined balance sheet, establishing a resilient financial foundation for accelerated commercial growth and continuous product innovation.
With expanded global scale, an enriched customer base spanning key enterprise verticals, and enhanced cross-selling capabilities, the
unified company is strategically positioned to target more than $500M in future revenue from the existing customer base alone. The acquisition
accelerates the combined company’s ability to address the rapid rise of agentic AI, with Gartner® forecasting that enterprise
spend on the software will reach $985 billion by 2030.
New Chief Financial Officer Appointed
Following an extensive executive search, SoundHound AI has selected
John Collins to join the company as its Chief Financial Officer. As CFO, Collins will focus on accelerating SoundHound AI’s path
to sustainable profitability, while maintaining its strong growth trajectory and disciplined approach to capital allocation.
Collins brings over 15 years of leadership experience at the intersection
of enterprise software, data science, capital markets, corporate finance, and artificial intelligence. With a rare blend of operator expertise,
financial stewardship, and entrepreneurial vision, he has previously been a founder, as well as Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating
Officer, and Interim Chief Executive Officer at LivePerson.
Throughout his career, Collins has consistently met the strategic and
financial needs of the business, from supporting R&D innovation and high growth, to driving cost-optimization initiatives that yielded
free cash flow and improved operational efficiency. Notably, Collins led a transformation from more than $100M of annual cash burn to
positive free cash flow in a single year while supporting double-digit growth, executed cost-reduction programs in excess of $200M, and
led multi-year debt restructurings that captured $227M of debt discount, improving liquidity and shifting enterprise value from debt holders
to equity holders. This proven background in managing complex enterprise infrastructure equips Collins to drive the financial integration
of SoundHound AI and LivePerson post-close, helping to create a world leader in AI for customer service.
The holder of both a JD and an MBA, Collins will oversee the combined
company’s financial strategy with a focus on accelerating margin expansion, enforcing tight cost discipline, and driving seamless operational
synergies to capitalize on SoundHound AI’s expanded footprint and the rapidly growing agentic AI market.
“Joining SoundHound AI at this pivotal juncture is an extraordinary
opportunity to help steer the company’s next phase of global growth at a time of rapid agentic AI adoption by large enterprises,”
said John Collins, incoming CFO of SoundHound AI. “Backed by a strong, debt-free balance sheet and market momentum, my
focus will be on driving seamless operational integration, enforcing cost discipline, and accelerating our path to sustainable, high-margin
profitability.”
Day One Combination Value
With the closing following regulatory and shareholder approvals, integration
is actively underway to deliver immediate value to customers and shareholders:
● Unified Omnichannel Solutions: Enterprise customers can now deploy a single conversational AI platform capable of driving voice
interactions, digital chat, and social messaging natively.
● Enhanced AI Capabilities for LivePerson Customers: SoundHound’s fully agentic platform, OASYS, and AI models will deliver
improvements in performance, user experience, containment, and overall customer health across LivePerson’s enterprise customer base
spanning digital and voice channels.
● Smarter, Faster AI Across Every Channel: By combining SoundHound’s deep voice capabilities with LivePerson’s proven
digital engagement, enterprise deployments benefit from an even richer foundation of customer interaction insights. This means higher
containment rates, faster resolution times, and smoother experiences.
● Strengthened Financial Footprint: As part of the close, SoundHound has retired LivePerson’s outstanding debt, establishing
a strong, debt-free balance sheet positioned to drive efficient growth.

“Our shared focus is clear: accelerate innovation and deliver
immediate impact for our customers,” said John Sabino, CEO of LivePerson. “Together, we offer an unparalleled
value proposition for enterprises seeking to modernize their contact centers and digital touchpoints with a trusted, enterprise-grade
AI partner.”
With the transaction closed, LivePerson common stock will cease trading
on the Nasdaq stock market. Functional integration is already underway, with combined product offerings and expanded capabilities set
to roll out to global clients in the coming quarters.
