Safe Harbor ProvisionStatements in this presentation regarding LivePerson that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual future events or results to differ materially from such statements. Any such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to financial
guidance, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. It is routine for our internal projections and
expectations to change as the quarter and year progress, and therefore it should be clearly understood that the internal projections and beliefs upon which we
base our expectations may change. Although these expectations may change, we are under no obligation to inform you if they do. Actual events or results
may differ materially from those contained in the projections or forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein include, without limitation: potential fluctuations in our quarterly revenue and operating results;
competition in the markets for online sales, marketing and customer service solutions, and online consumer services; our abil ity to retain existing clients and
attract new clients; risks related to new regulatory or other legal requirements that could materially impact our business; volatility of the value of certain
currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar, particularly the currency of regions where we have operations; additional regulatory requirements, tax liabilities,
currency exchange rate fluctuations and other risks as we expand internationally and/or as we expand into direct-to-consumer services; impairments to
goodwill that result in significant charges to earnings; responding to rapid technological change and changing client preferences; the adverse effect that the
global economic downturn may have on our business and results of operations; our ability to retain key personnel, attract new personnel and to manage staff
attrition; our ability to expand our operations internationally; risks related to the ability to successfully integrate past or potential future acquisitions; failures or
security breaches in our services, those of our third party providers, or in the websites of our customers; risks related to the regulation or possible
misappropriation of personal information belonging to our customers’ Internet users; technology systems beyond our control and technology-related defects
that could disrupt the LivePerson services; privacy concerns relating to the Internet that could result in new legislation or negative public perception; legal
liability and/or negative publicity for the services provided to consumers via our technology platforms; risks related to protecting our intellectual property rights
or potential infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties; risks related to technological or other defects distributing our services; increased
allowances for doubtful accounts as a result of an increasing amount of receivables due from customers with greater credit risk; delays in our implementation
cycles; risks associated with the recent volatility in the capital markets; our ability to secure additional financing to execute our business strategy; risks
associated with our current or any future stock repurchase programs, including whether such programs will enhance long-term stockholder value, and whether
such stock repurchases could increase the volatility of the price of our common stock and diminish our cash reserves; our abi lity to license necessary third
party software for use in our products and services, and our ability to successfully integrate third party software; changes in accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States; our ability to maintain our reputation; risks related to our complex products; our recognition of revenue from subscriptions; our
lengthy sales cycles; risks related to our operations in Israel, and the civil and political unrest in that region; natural catastrophic events and interruption to our
business by man-made problems; the high volatility of our stock price; and risks related to our common stock being traded on more than one securities
exchange. This list is intended to identify only certain of the principal factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements. Readers are referred to the reports and documents filed from time to time by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of
these and other important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in forward-looking statements.
