On February 28, 2023, before market hours, LivePerson disclosed that it would be unable to timely file its Annual Report due to the Company’s acquisition of its subsidiary, WildHealth, requiring “more time to perform additional review and testing of revenue recognition with respect to a recently discontinued WildHealth program, for which Medicare reimbursement is suspended pending further governmental review, and to complete its in-process review of internal controls and procedures.” On this news, LivePerson’s stock price fell $1.69, or 14.3%, to close at $10.12 per share on February 28, 2023, thereby injuring investors.
