LivePerson urges shareholders to back SoundHound merger ahead of Aug. 20 vote
Reuters2026/08/11 12:04- LivePerson’s board urged shareholders to vote “FOR” its pending acquisition by SoundHound AI ahead of an Aug. 20 special meeting.
- Proxy advisers ISS, Glass Lewis backed the board’s recommendation, raising pressure on holders as the vote approaches.
- Deal requires approval from a majority of all outstanding shares, so non-votes effectively count as “AGAINST”.
- Merger consideration valued at about $3.33 per share as of April 21, 2026, described as a 22% premium to the prior 30-day VWAP.
- Board warned a failed vote could leave shareholders exposed to debt and Nasdaq listing risks, including a potential reorganization with no equity value.

Crude oil is "coming back", but refined oil is "not coming back"; the global refining gap is widening.
According to Goldman Sachs, global refined oil exports have declined by about 6 million barrels per day year-on-year, with the Gulf region and Russia contributing three-quarters of the decrease. Unlike crude oil, which can be rerouted, damaged refineries cannot be relocated, and the Gulf region's refined oil exports have only recovered to 40% of pre-war levels. Goldman Sachs expects global refinery utilization rates to recover only by the second half of 2027; based on this, it has more than doubled its forecast for diesel profit margins in 2027.
