Legal Matters	Legal Matters Stockholder Litigation In December 2023, a putative stockholder class action entitled Damri v. LivePerson, Inc., No. 1:23-cv-10517, was filed under the federal securities laws against the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer, and its Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that the Company’s Form 10-Q filings and forecasts for the first, second, and third quarters of fiscal year 2022 were false and misleading in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, based on the Company’s later disclosures and report on Form 10-K on March 16, 2023. On May 31, 2024, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint in August 2024. On March 19, 2025, the court granted the Company’s motion and dismissed the action with prejudice. On April 17, 2025, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The appeal remains pending. A parallel litigation on behalf of stockholders who purchased their shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, entitled Weissbrod v. LivePerson, Inc., is pending in the Tel Aviv District Court in Israel, but has been stayed pending further developments in the Damri case. In January 2024, a purported derivative action entitled Marti v. LoCascio, No. 1:24-cv-00598, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by a purported stockholder of the Company against the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, members of the current Board of Directors and several former Directors. The Marti litigation claims that the Company itself was harmed by the same acts and omissions underlying the Damri federal securities lawsuit and seeks to recover unspecified losses on behalf of the Company. Between June and September 2024, four other purported derivative actions were filed by purported stockholders of the Company against the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, members of the current Board of Directors and several former Directors. These four purported derivative actions, similar to the Marti litigation, claim that the Company itself was harmed by the same acts and omissions underlying the Damri federal securities lawsuit, and seek to recover unspecified losses on behalf of the Company. The four actions are entitled: (i) Steffens v. Block, No. 1:24-cv-04481, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; (ii) Ravi v. LoCascio, Index No. 653498/2024, filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County; (iii) Morales v. LoCascio, No. 1:24-cv-05297, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; and (iv) Perkins v. LoCascio, Index No. 654992/2024, filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. The Marti, Steffens and Morales cases are stayed, and the Perkins case is in abeyance, pending further developments in the Damri case. In February 2024, Starboard Value LP and several of its related entities and investment funds filed a lawsuit against the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer, and its Chief Financial Officer entitled Starboard Value LP v. LivePerson, Inc., No. 2024-0103, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaint alleges common law fraud, fraudulent inducement and negligent misrepresentation in connection with an alleged scheme to induce Starboard to settle its 2022 proxy contest against the Company and, as stated in the complaint, involves previous Starboard allegations of misrepresentations in the Company’s public disclosures that the Company previously informed Starboard were found to be unsubstantiated following an independent investigation. Starboard seeks damages for its trading losses and purported lost anticipated profits. The defendants have filed an answer denying the substantive allegations of the complaint. The parties are currently engaged in discovery and the case is scheduled for trial in June 2025. COVID-Related Matters As has been widely reported, there is heightened scrutiny by the federal government across many programs related to global novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) that were introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company previously provided products and services related to COVID-19 testing and accompanying software. Those products and services have been the subject of inquiry and review by Medicare, the Department of Justice and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Company has discontinued all products and services related to COVID-19, and has responded to and intends to continue to cooperate with governmental inquiries related to its previous engagement in COVID-19 related product and service offerings. Other Legal, Administrative, Governmental and Regulatory Matters From time to time, the Company is or may be subject to or involved in legal, administrative, governmental and/or regulatory proceedings, inquiries and investigations as well as actual or threatened litigation, claims and/or demands (each an “Action” and collectively “Actions”). These have included and may include (without limitation) Actions brought by or against the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors and/or officers with respect to intellectual property, contracts, financial, commercial, employment, legal, compliance, privacy, data security, regulatory and/or other matters related to the Company’s business, as well as Actions brought against the Company’s customers for which the Company has a contractual indemnification obligation. Regardless of the outcome, Actions can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and/or settlement costs, diversion of management resources, reputational risks and other factors. Accruals The Company accrues for certain contingencies when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and discloses certain contingencies for which no accrual has been made as appropriate and in compliance with ASC 450, Contingencies. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. The accruals or estimates, if any, resulting from the foregoing analysis, are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.
