Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Merger Agreement
On November 5, 2026, Five9, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Ujwal, Inc. (d/b/a Level AI), a Delaware corporation (“Level AI”), Lander Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative of the securityholders of Level AI, pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Level AI (the “Merger”), with Level AI surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the Merger, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transaction”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration payable by the Company in respect of the outstanding shares of capital stock, options and warrants of Level AI is $325.0 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments for Level AI’s cash, indebtedness, transaction expenses and net working capital as of the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants related to the Transaction that are customary for a transaction of this nature, and the completion of the Transaction is dependent upon the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The Merger Agreement includes customary termination provisions of the parties, including if (i) the closing of the Transaction has not occurred on or prior to February 5, 2027, and (ii) the other party has breached its representations, warranties or covenants such that the related closing condition would not be satisfied, subject to certain negotiated cure periods as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Neither party is required to pay a termination fee in connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement. In addition, such representations and warranties: (i) may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date; (ii) are modified and qualified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules; (iii) may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to investors; or (iv) may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. For the foregoing reasons, the representations and warranties should not be relied upon as statements of factual information.
Support Agreement
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into Support Agreements (the “Support Agreements”) with stockholders of Level AI holding sufficient voting power to approve the Transaction under applicable law and Level AI’s organizational documents, pursuant to which such stockholders agreed, among other things, to execute and deliver a written consent approving and adopting the Merger Agreement and the Transaction and to comply with certain transfer and other restrictions with respect to their shares of Level AI’s common stock or preferred stock, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Support Agreements. Following delivery of such written consent, no further approval of Level AI’s stockholders is required to approve the Transaction.
