Five9 agrees to buy AI firm Level AI for $325 million in cash
Five9 entered into a merger agreement on November 5, 2026, to acquire Level AI, with Level AI becoming a wholly owned subsidiary. The cash price is $325.0 million, subject to customary adjustments, and the company says the deal adds AI capabilities and a new way to reach enterprises. Completion depends on customary closing conditions, and the deal is expected to close in 2026.
Key points
- Aggregate consideration is $325.0 million in cash, subject to adjustments for Level AI's cash, indebtedness, transaction expenses and net working capital at closing.
- Stockholders of Level AI holding enough voting power to approve the deal have signed support agreements, so no further Level AI stockholder approval is required.
- Either party may terminate if closing has not occurred by February 5, 2027; neither party must pay a termination fee.
- Five9 says the deal is expected to close in 2026, and Centerview Partners LLC is its financial advisor.
