EXPLANATORY NOTE

LivePerson, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2015 (the “2014 Form 10-K”) solely for the purpose of filing a revised consent of BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”), an independent registered public accounting firm. The consent filed by the Company as Exhibit 23.1 of the 2014 Form 10-K inadvertently referenced an audit report date of March 6, 2015. The correct audit report date was March 12, 2015.

This report on Form 10-K/A is presented as of the filing date of the 2014 Form 10-K and does not reflect events occurring after that date, or modify or update disclosures in any way.
