SoundHound AI, Inc. entered into an Amended and Restated Merger Agreement to acquire LivePerson, Inc. through a two-step merger structure. LivePerson stockholders will receive SoundHound Class A common stock based on a share-exchange formula that uses an Aggregate Consideration Amount starting from $42,784,532.64, adjusted for LivePerson cash, note repurchases and in-the-money option exercise values, and divided by a Company Closing Stock Price bounded between $7 and $12 per share.
Most LivePerson equity awards are either cashed out at closing value, assumed into new SoundHound-based awards, or cancelled, depending on whether they are in the money and on holder status.
