Exhibit 99.2

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of SoundHound AI, Inc. (“SoundHound” or the “Company”) presents the combination of the historical financial information of SoundHound and LivePerson, Inc. (“LivePerson” or the “Target”), adjusted to give effect to the LivePerson Merger.

 

Description of the Acquisition

 

On April 21, 2026, SoundHound AI, Inc. (“SoundHound”) entered into a Merger Agreement and a Notes Restructuring Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”) with LivePerson, Inc. (“LivePerson”), pursuant to which Lightspeed Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SoundHound, agreed to merge with and into LivePerson, with LivePerson surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SoundHound (the “LivePerson Merger”).

 

Under the terms of the Transaction Agreements, total consideration consisted of the following:

 

i.shares of SoundHound Class A common stock issued to holders of LivePerson’s First Lien Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 and 10.0% Second Lien Senior Subordinated Secured Notes (collectively, the “Secured Notes”) equal to approximately $178.0 million and $83.2 million (the “First and Second Lien Stock Consideration”), respectively, each divided by the SoundHound Closing Stock Price,

 

ii.shares of SoundHound Class A common stock issued to holders of LivePerson common stock with an aggregate value of $42.8 million (the “Shareholder Stock Consideration”) divided by the SoundHound Closing Stock Price, subject to adjustment for LivePerson’s closing cash balance relative to a $74.0 million minimum cash threshold; and

 

iii.replacement restricted stock units (RSUs) and cash-settled awards issued to continuing LivePerson employees in exchange for outstanding unvested equity awards. All out-of-the-money stock options and warrants were cancelled at closing for no consideration.

 

The SoundHound Closing Stock Price is determined based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of a share of SoundHound Common Stock on each of the ten consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day that is three trading days prior to the closing date, subject to a collar of $7.00 (floor) and $12.00 (cap) per share. SoundHound retains the right to substitute cash in lieu of all or a portion of the stock consideration payable to Secured Note holders.

 

As of March 31, 2026, LivePerson had approximately $20.1 million in aggregate principal amount of 0% Convertible Notes due 2026 outstanding. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, LivePerson is required to use commercially reasonable best efforts to retire these notes at or prior to closing.

 

The determination of estimated preliminary consideration under GAAP and the preliminary purchase price allocation, including the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, are accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, and are discussed in Note 3 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements included herein.

 

Other Information

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information prepared as of March 31, 2026 and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 have been prepared to update the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented in the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by SoundHound with the SEC on May 11, 2026 and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the annual period ended December 31, 2025 included therein. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of SoundHound and LivePerson, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on March 31, 2026. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 assumes that the LivePerson Merger occurred as of January 1, 2025 and combines the historical results of SoundHound and LivePerson giving pro forma effect for the periods then ended.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is derived from the historical financial information of SoundHound and LivePerson, and should be read in conjunction with the following information:

 

the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SoundHound for the three months ended March 31, 2026, included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 11, 2026,

 

the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of LivePerson, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The transaction accounting adjustments are based on available information and assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable. Actual results and valuations may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The LivePerson Merger is subject to closing adjustments that have not yet been finalized. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as required by SEC rules. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may be material.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

 

The historical financial information of SoundHound and LivePerson has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to reflect transaction accounting adjustments related to the Transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), based on the assumptions and adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes.

 

The LivePerson Merger has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting under GAAP. Under this method of accounting, SoundHound has been determined to be the accounting acquirer and LivePerson to be the accounting acquiree. The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured and recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. The final purchase price allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the transaction accounting adjustments as the final allocation may include changes in allocations to intangible assets as well as goodwill.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes certain reclassifications to conform LivePerson’s historical accounting presentation to SoundHound’s accounting presentation.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 gives effect to the LivePerson Merger, as if the Merger had been completed on March 31, 2026 and combines the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of SoundHound as of March 31, 2026 with LivePerson’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 give effect to the LivePerson Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2025, the first day of SoundHound’s fiscal 2025, and combines the historical results of SoundHound and LivePerson. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 combines the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of SoundHound for the three months ended March 31, 2026 with LivePerson’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

 

The pro forma financial information reflects transaction accounting adjustments that management believes are necessary to present fairly SoundHound’s pro forma results of operations and financial position following the closing of the LivePerson Merger as of and for the periods indicated. The pro forma adjustments, which SoundHound believes are reasonable under the circumstances, are preliminary and are based upon available information and certain assumptions described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Actual results and valuations may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The actual results of operations of the combined company will likely differ, perhaps materially, from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The Company believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the transactions based on information available to management at this time, and that the pro forma transaction accounting adjustments give effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the LivePerson Merger.

 

No deferred tax liability has been recorded with respect to the basis differences associated with the identifiable intangible assets recognized in the transaction because the Company has sufficient net operating loss carryforwards to offset the related deferred tax effects. Accordingly, no pro forma balance sheet adjustment has been reflected for such intangible assets. The preliminary purchase price allocation in the unaudited pro forma information reflects a full valuation allowance against the acquired U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, as the realization of the full amount of these acquired net deferred tax assets is uncertain, and reflects the carryover of deferred tax balances of foreign jurisdictions which do not carry a full valuation allowance.

 

Income tax expense reflects the combined historical income tax provisions of LivePerson and SoundHound. This presentation assumes that the existing full valuation allowance will continue to be maintained and, therefore, no incremental tax benefit or other pro forma tax adjustment has been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations. Management has not completed its analysis of the tax impact of the LivePerson Merger on the combined company. Upon consummation of the LivePerson Merger, SoundHound will perform a comprehensive analysis of the tax impact of the LivePerson Merger on the combined company with full information. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different than what is presented in these unaudited pro forma financial statements depending on post-business combination activities.

Note 2 — Reclassification Adjustments

 

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are those set out in SoundHound’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Certain reclassifications are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statement of operations to conform presentation between SoundHound and LivePerson. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and net loss of SoundHound or LivePerson. Upon consummation of the LivePerson Merger, SoundHound will perform a comprehensive review of LivePerson’s accounting policies. As a result of that review, SoundHound may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations – LivePerson Merger

 

The estimated preliminary consideration of $293.2 million was determined by reference to the fair value of SoundHound’s common stock on May 15, 2026. The calculation of estimated preliminary consideration is as follows:

 

Estimated Preliminary Consideration

 

   Shares   Per Share   Total 
   (In thousands, except share and per share amounts) 
Estimated SoundHound shares issued for settlement of Secured Notes (1)   29,819,116   $8.41   $250,779 
Estimated SoundHound shares issued to LivePerson’s capital stockholders (2)   4,884,079    8.41    41,075 
Estimated replacement equity awards for LivePerson’s equity awards (3)   124,854    8.41    955 
Estimated equity consideration for LivePerson’s equity awards settled (4)   43,488    8.41    366 
Total            $293,175 

 

(1)SoundHound expects the Secured Notes to be entirely settled in shares of Class A Common Stock. As such, estimated preliminary consideration is equal to the fair value of shares issued to holders of the Secured Notes based on the Total Consideration for the First and Second Lien Secured Notes each divided by the 10-day VWAP stock price of $8.76 estimated as of May 15, 2026 as follows:

 

Description  First Lien   Second Lien   Total 
Total Consideration  $178,007,734   $83,207,729   $261,215,463 
10-day VWAP stock price  $8.76   $8.76      
Shares to be issued   20,320,517    9,498,599    29,819,116 
Fair value per share  $8.41   $8.41      
Total  $170,895,548   $79,883,218   $250,778,766 

 

(2)Common stock consideration is computed based on the Shareholder Stock Consideration of $42.8 million divided by the 10-day VWAP stock price of $8.76 estimated as of May 15, 2026 rounded to the nearest whole share.

 

(3)Certain equity awards of LivePerson will be replaced by SoundHound equity awards. The pre-combination portion of such equity awards represents estimated preliminary consideration. There was no incremental post-acquisition expense in excess of that recorded in the historical financial statements of SoundHound as a result of the replacement equity awards. We have adjusted replacement equity award consideration down by $0.1 million, but not shares, to reflect the fair value of estimated forfeitures

 

(4)Certain Board of Directors and vested equity awards of LivePerson will be settled in shares of SoundHound common stock. Such settlement of equity awards represents estimated preliminary consideration.

 

The final shares and total estimated preliminary consideration could significantly differ from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information due to movements in the SoundHound common stock price up to the closing date of the LivePerson Merger.

 

The Company has assumed that the 2026 Notes will be settled by LivePerson in cash prior to close. There exists a remote possibility that the 2026 Notes may be assumed by the Company and in that case, there will be no impact on consideration transferred and goodwill.

 

The SoundHound Closing Stock Price was determined based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of SoundHound Common stock for each of the ten consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day that is three trading days prior to the closing date, subject to a collar of $7.00 (floor) and $12.00 (cap) per share. May 15, 2026 was determined to be the most recent practicable date prior to the effective date. As such, May 15, 2026 was the last day of this ten-day volume-weighted period, in which the stock price was determined. A sensitivity analysis on the SoundHound share price was performed to assess the impact on purchase consideration at each end of the collar, or $7 per share and $12 per share, as this represents a reasonable range for share price based on recent volatility. The closing share price was held constant at the May 15, 2026 closing share price ($8.41 per share) for purposes of the sensitivity to illustrate range when SoundHound Closing Stock Price and closing date share price may differ. Purchase consideration will not be impacted by stock price volatility within the collar when SoundHound Closing Stock Price and closing date share price match. The value of LivePerson equity awards when considering a 20% range of outcomes, is immaterial.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

 

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of LivePerson are recognized and measured as of the acquisition date at fair value and added to those of SoundHound. The determination of fair value used in the pro forma adjustments presented herein are preliminary and based on management estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the LivePerson Merger. The final determination of the purchase price allocation, upon the completion of the LivePerson Merger, will be based on LivePerson’s net assets acquired as of that date and will depend on a number of factors that cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Therefore, the actual allocations will differ from the pro forma adjustments presented. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have not yet been completed. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in significant changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below.

 

The following table sets forth a preliminary allocation of the estimated consideration to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of LivePerson based on LivePerson’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, with cash and cash equivalents adjusted for $13.5 million of expected transaction costs by LivePerson, with the excess recorded to goodwill.

 

   As of
March 31, 2026
 
   (in thousands) 
Total preliminary purchase consideration  $293,175 
      
Cash and cash equivalents  $53,928 
Accounts receivable   25,664 
Contract assets and unbilled receivables   3,365 
Other current assets   15,417 
Intangible assets (1)   128,000 
Property and equipment (2)    4,616 
Right-of-use assets   72 
Deferred tax assets (3)   4,533 
Other non-current assets   276 
Total assets acquired  $235,871 
      
Accounts payable  $4,357 
Accrued liabilities   38,416 
Deferred revenue   57,987 
Other current liabilities   357 
Deferred tax liabilities (3)   4,199 
Operating lease liabilities   87 
Other non-current liabilities   635 
Total liabilities assumed  $106,038 
Preliminary fair value of net assets acquired  $129,833 
Estimated goodwill (4)  $163,342 

 

(1) Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information consists of the following:

   Preliminary
Fair Value
(in millions)
   Estimated
Useful Life
Developed technology  $41.0   5 Years
Customer relationships   83.0   5 Years
Trademark/Trade Name   4.0   3.5 Years

 

The identifiable intangible assets and related amortization are preliminary and are based on management’s estimates after consideration of similar transactions. As discussed above, the amount that will ultimately be allocated to identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, and the related amount of amortization, may differ materially from this preliminary allocation. In addition, the periods the amortization impacts will ultimately be based upon the periods in which the associated economic benefits or detriments are expected to be derived, or where appropriate, based on the use of a straight-line method. Therefore, the amount of amortization following the LivePerson Merger may differ significantly between periods based upon the final value assigned and amortization methodology used for each identifiable intangible asset.

 

(2) Property and equipment consists primarily of computer equipment, for which the carrying value is assumed to approximate fair value.
   
(3) The preliminary purchase price allocation in the unaudited pro forma information reflects a full valuation allowance against the acquired U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, as the realization of the full amount of these acquired net deferred tax assets is uncertain. The preliminary purchase price allocation reflects the carryover of deferred tax balances of foreign jurisdictions which do not carry a full valuation allowance. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of identified assets and liabilities.  
   
(4) Goodwill represents the excess of consideration over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is not amortized, but instead is reviewed for impairment at least annually, absent any indicators of impairment. Goodwill is attributable to planned growth in new markets and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of SoundHound and LivePerson. Goodwill recorded in the LivePerson Merger is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

The adjustments related to the acquisition of LivePerson included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are as follows:

 

(a)Reflects the expected $13.5 million of transaction costs incurred by LivePerson, which are expected to be paid by LivePerson prior to closing of the LivePerson Merger in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

 

(b)Reflects LivePerson’s settlement of the 2026 Notes prior to the acquisition close date for $20.1 million of cash from current portion of long-term debt, along with $373.7 million of Secured Notes settled from long-term debt in shares of SoundHound Common Stock. Also includes the $14.0 million of cash paid by LivePerson for the $6.6 million of excess cash to settle the Secured Notes and the $7.4 million of accrued interest on the Secured Notes.

The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between shares of common stock and participating securities; however, no allocation has been made because the participating securities are not participating in losses.

 

The pro forma basic net loss per share attributable to the combined entity’s common stockholders is calculated using the historical basic weighted average shares of SoundHound’s common stock outstanding, adjusted for the additional new shares of SoundHound common stock issued to consummate the LivePerson Merger, assuming the shares were issued and outstanding as of January 1, 2025. Pro forma diluted net loss per share attributable to the combined entity’s common stockholders is calculated using the historical diluted weighted average shares of SoundHound Common Stock outstanding.
