Exhibit 99.1
Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information of SoundHound AI, Inc. (“SoundHound” or the “Company”) has been prepared in
accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and 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
(as defined below). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of SoundHound also gives effect to the acquisition
of Interactions Corporation (“Interactions”) that occurred on September 3, 2025 but was not reflected in the historical
financial information of SoundHound for a full fiscal year.
Description of the Acquisitions
On April 21, 2026, SoundHound,
LivePerson and Lightspeed Merger Sub, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of SoundHound (“Merger Sub I”) entered into
a Merger Agreement (the “Original Merger Agreement”), which was subsequently amended and restated on July 2, 2026, among SoundHound,
LivePerson, Merger Sub I and Lightspeed Merger Sub II, Inc., an indirectly, wholly owned subsidiary of SoundHound (“Merger Sub II”)
(the Original Merger Agreement, as amended and restated, the “Merger Agreement”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub I will be merged with and into LivePerson (the “First Merger”), with LivePerson
surviving the First Merger as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of SoundHound and, immediately following the First Merger, Merger Sub
II will be merged with and into LivePerson (the “Second Merger,” and together with the First Merger, collectively the “LivePerson
Merger”), with LivePerson surviving the Second Merger as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of SoundHound. Also on April 21, 2026,
concurrently with the execution of the Original Merger Agreement, SoundHound entered into a Notes Restructuring Agreement (the “Notes
Restructuring Agreement”, together with the Merger Agreement, collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”) with LivePerson
and the Secured Holders (as defined below), pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, among other things,
the Secured Holders have agreed to release and deem satisfied the Secured Notes for the consideration contemplated thereby.
The Merger Agreement provides
for a two-step transaction for holders of LivePerson common stock.
● First, all shares of LivePerson common stock other than shares
listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (the “non-TASE Shares”) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive
the consideration described below, while the shares listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd., (the “TASE Shares”) will
remain issued and outstanding.
● Second, the TASE
Shares will automatically be converted into the right to receive cash consideration, except for TASE Shares held by holders or beneficial
owners of TASE Shares who (i) do not vote in favor of the merger proposal, (ii) properly demand appraisal of their shares of LivePerson
Common Stock, (iii) continuously hold or beneficially own such shares through TASECH from the date of making the demand through the effective
time of the Second Merger, (iv) otherwise comply with Section 262 of the DGCL and (v) do not withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal
rights. The Company expects all TASE Shares to be converted into cash consideration, except to the extent any TASE Shares are paid through
the appraisal process.
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,” and the holders of such Secured Notes, the “Secured Holders”) 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. Consideration issued to holders of LivePerson common stock with
an aggregate value of $42.8 million (the “Shareholder Consideration Amount”), subject to adjustment for LivePerson’s
closing cash balance relative to a $74.0 million minimum cash threshold, divided by the SoundHound Closing Stock Price (the “Closing
Merger Consideration”), and settled as follows:
a. shares of SoundHound Class A common stock issued to holders
of the non-TASE Shares,
b. cash consideration to holders of the TASE Shares, subject to
a cap of $7.5 million.
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 4
to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements included herein.
Description of Interactions Acquisition during
the year ended December 31, 2025
On September 3, 2025,
SoundHound completed its acquisition of Interactions (the “Interactions Acquisition”, “Acquisition”), pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into by and among SoundHound, Iris Merger
Sub, Inc., Interactions Corporation and Shareholder Representative Services LLC. The transaction included cash paid to selling shareholders,
repayment of Interactions’ outstanding debt at closing, payment of seller transaction expenses, customary cash holdbacks, and contingent
earnout consideration tied to specified future milestones. On the acquisition date, each outstanding share of Interactions’ capital
stock, stock options, warrants to purchase Interactions’ capital stock, and treasury stock were cancelled and extinguished without
any present or future right to receive any consideration with the exception of certain shares of Interactions’ preferred stock that
were converted into the right to receive the consideration defined above.
Other Information
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, and the year ended December 31, 2025, assumes that the LivePerson Merger and
the Interactions Acquisition (the “Transactions”) occurred as of January 1, 2025, and combines the historical results
of SoundHound, Interactions, 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, Interactions, and LivePerson, and should
be read in conjunction with the following information:
● the historical audited consolidated financial statements of
SoundHound for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2026,
● 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 audited consolidated financial statements of
LivePerson for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16,
2026,
● the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of LivePerson, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2026, included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with
the SEC on May 8, 2026,
● the historical unaudited financial information of Interactions
for the period from January 1, 2025 to September 2, 2025, which is derived from the historical unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statement of operations of SoundHound for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, that are included as Exhibit 99.3
in the Company’s Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on November 17, 2025.
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 unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The historical financial
information of SoundHound, Interactions 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 and Interactions’ 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 statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 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, Interactions, and LivePerson. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 2025 combines the audited consolidated statement of operations of SoundHound for the year ended December 31,
2025 with LivePerson’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and Interactions’
unaudited consolidated statement of operations from January 1, 2025 to September 2, 2025. 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.
6
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 and SoundHound’s audited
annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. 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.

(e) Reflects the elimination of $0.6 million of tax benefit. Prior
to the acquisition, Interactions held interest in a partnership and recorded a deferred tax liability associated with the outside basis
difference and recorded the corresponding deferred tax expense/benefit as a result of changes to the deferred tax liability. However,
upon the Acquisition, the partnership became a single member LLC and the deferred tax liability is no longer needed. Accordingly, no
deferred tax expense/benefit would be recorded.

attributable to non-controlling interest due to changes in Interactions’ ownership structure.
Note 4 — Transaction Accounting

The estimated preliminary consideration

share. The calculation of estimated preliminary consideration is as follows:

of the Secured Notes based on the Total Consideration for the First and Second Lien Secured Notes each divided by the $7.00 floor price
as follows:

(2) Common stock consideration is computed based on the Shareholder
Consideration Amount of $42.8 million divided by the $7.00 floor multiplied by the quotient of the fully diluted non-TASE Shares
divided by the fully diluted shares of LivePerson common stock issued and outstanding, 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.
(5) Cash consideration to TASE shareholders amounting to $7.2 million
is computed by the lower of (a) $7.5 million, and (b) the Closing Merger Consideration multiplied by the 10-day VWAP stock price of $6.84
estimated as of June 25, 2026, and further multiplied by the quotient of the fully diluted TASE Shares divided by the fully diluted shares
of LivePerson common stock issued and outstanding. The maximum amount of cash that can be granted to TASE shareholders is $7.5 million.
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. June 25, 2026 was determined to be the most recent practicable date prior to the effective date. As
such, June 25, 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, and a
change of 30% on the closing date share price of $6.21 estimated as of June 25, 2026, as this represents a reasonable range for share
price based on recent volatility. Purchase consideration will not be impacted by stock price volatility within the collar when SoundHound
Closing Stock Price and closing date share price match. If the closing share price falls below the floor, purchase consideration will
decrease ratably by the shortfall of the share price against the floor. Likewise, if the share price exceeds the cap, purchase consideration
will increase ratably by the excess of the share price over the cap. The impact to purchase consideration from LivePerson equity awards
when considering a 30% range of outcomes, is immaterial, and has been excluded from the share price sensitivity analysis below.

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

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.
16
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 statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the year ended December 31,
2025 are as follows:
(a) Reflects the preliminary purchase consideration of $7.2 million
to be settled in cash to holders of the TASE Shares.
(b) 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.
(c) 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

LivePerson for the $6.6 million of excess cash to settle the Secured Notes and the $7.4 million of accrued interest on the

(r) Reflects the pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share
attributable to the combined entity’s common stockholders presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating
securities as a result of the pro forma adjustments. 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.
