LivePerson Inc. (NASDAQ:LPSN), currently trading at $0.54 and down over 64% year-to-date, announced Wednesday that it will implement a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of its common stock, following approval by shareholders at a special meeting held October 2. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has shown significant volatility, with its market capitalization currently standing at approximately $81 million. The company’s board of directors set the reverse split ratio at 1-for-15, within the previously approved range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-20.
According to a statement based on a SEC filing, the reverse stock split and a proportional reduction in authorized common shares are expected to take effect before market open on Monday, October 13, 2025.

The number of authorized shares of common stock will decrease from 300,000,000 to 20,000,000. The par value of the common stock will remain at $0.001 per share. InvestingPro analysis reveals the company operates with a significant debt burden, with a concerning debt-to-capital ratio of 0.87 and a weak overall financial health score.

No fractional shares will be issued; shareholders entitled to receive a fractional share will receive a cash payment in lieu of the fraction.
LivePerson’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Global Select Market at the market open on October 13 under the existing ticker symbol “LPSN.” The new CUSIP number for the post-split common stock will be 538146 309.
