NEW YORK, May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LivePerson, Inc. (Nasdaq: LPSN) ("LivePerson" the "Company", "we" or "us"), the enterprise leader in digital customer conversations, today announced that its largest existing notes investor, Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP ("Lynrock"), has entered into a binding agreement to exchange (the "Exchange") its existing approximately $146 million principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes due 2026 for $100 million of new Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2029 (the "New Notes"). In addition, Lynrock has agreed to provide the Company with $100 million of new capital in the form of additional New Notes, with $50 million to be purchased concurrently with the Exchange and another $50 million to be purchased within six months of the Exchange upon the Company's request.

"Today's transaction significantly improves our capital structure by enabling us to capture some of the discounted current market price of our 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, extend our debt maturity schedule, and raise new capital to facilitate further deleveraging," said John Collins, CFO and COO. "With a stronger balance sheet, LivePerson is well positioned to meet the needs of our customers and partners for the long run and to accelerate value creation for shareholders. We appreciate Lynrock's support and continued confidence in our strategy and vision."

The New Notes will be secured and guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries on a senior secured basis. Concurrently with the Exchange, Lynrock will also be issued 10-year warrants exercisable for 11% of the Company's common stock, calculated on a fully diluted basis, with a strike price of $0.75 per share. The Exchange and purchase of New Notes are subject to customary closing conditions and are expected to occur by the end of May.
