Zoom to Acquire Five9 and Build the Customer Engagement Platform of the Future

July 19, 2021

I have spent my life looking for tectonic shifts in industries, and over the course of my career I have had the privilege to be part of a few of them. Today, I am excited to mark what I believe is another one of those occasions with the news that Five9 has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Zoom.

Five9 and Zoom have long been partners. As you know, Zoom is known for its relentless focus on customer happiness and the creation of a communications platform that focuses on ease of use. 

I believe the combination of Zoom and Five9 will be a game changer. Joining forces will create a transformative opportunity for two strong companies with complementary capabilities and shared values. 

Our companies share much in common. Like us, Zoom is tackling an enormous cloud transition opportunity which is in its early innings. Together, we can take a leading position in pursuing a significant market opportunity. Like us, Zoom is laser-focused on taking care of their customers, has a strong corporate culture and is committed to doing business the right way. So, together, we can redefine how people and businesses connect and collaborate. 

Zoom’s reach and brand will undoubtedly help propel Five9 forward and help us deliver on our goal of significant international expansion. In the same breath, I truly believe that Five9 is a natural fit that will complement Zoom’s broad cloud communications portfolio. 

Together, we will transform how organizations connect with their customers, building the customer engagement platform of the future. 

Together, we can deliver customers a range of benefits including: 

Improved Collaboration : Contact center agents will be able to communicate with internal departments and specialists more seamlessly and vice versa to solve problems and unlock opportunities in real-time. 

Enhanced Customer Experience : End customers can benefit from a true customer engagement platform that enables them to interact with their brand of choice across channels and using rich media from voice, to chat to video, enhanced by artificial intelligence. 

Optimized Deployments and Costs : Customers can benefit not only from fully cloud native solutions but combining UCaaS and CCaaS brings the communication stack together in a way that is more manageable, more flexible, and more efficient resulting in a quicker ability to adapt to customers and market demands. 

But for now, I will leave it by saying that I am truly honored to get the opportunity to continue to lead the team at Five9 as CEO and to become a President of Zoom. I couldn’t be prouder of the company that Five9 is today and with Zoom I am looking forward to being part of something even better. 

P.S. As required by law, please see this important legal notice below. You’ll see this on all our communications on this topic going forward.

Zoom to Acquire Five9

SAN JOSE, Calif. and SAN RAMON, Calif., July 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zoom Video Communications, Inc. ZM today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Five9, Inc. FIVN , a leading provider of the intelligent cloud contact center, in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $14.7 billion. Combining Five9's Contact Center as a Service ("CCaaS") solution with Zoom's broad communications platform will transform how businesses connect with their customers, building the customer engagement platform of the future.

The acquisition is expected to help enhance Zoom's presence with enterprise customers and allow it to accelerate its long-term growth opportunity by adding the $24 billion contact center market. Five9 is a pioneer of cloud-based contact center software. Its highly-scalable and secure cloud contact center delivers a comprehensive suite of easy-to-use applications that allows management and optimization of customer interactions across many different channels.

"We are continuously looking for ways to enhance our platform, and the addition of Five9 is a natural fit that will deliver even more happiness and value to our customers," said Eric S. Yuan, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Zoom. "Zoom is built on a core belief that robust and reliable communications technology enables interactions that build greater empathy and trust, and we believe that holds particularly true for customer engagement. Enterprises communicate with their customers primarily through the contact center, and we believe this acquisition creates a leading customer engagement platform that will help redefine how companies of all sizes connect with their customers. We are thrilled to join forces with the Five9 team, and I look forward to welcoming them to the Zoom family."

"Businesses spend significant resources annually on their contact centers, but still struggle to deliver a seamless experience for their customers," said Rowan Trollope, Chief Executive Officer of Five9. "It has always been Five9's mission to make it easy for businesses to fix that problem and engage with their customers in a more meaningful and efficient way. Joining forces with Zoom will provide Five9's business customers access to best-of-breed solutions, particularly Zoom Phone, that will enable them to realize more value and deliver real results for their business. This, combined with Zoom's ‘ease-of use' philosophy and broad communication portfolio, will truly enable customers to engage via their preferred channel of choice."

Zoom's acquisition of Five9 is complementary to the growing popularity of its Zoom Phone offering. Zoom Phone is a modern, cloud phone system that offers a digital alternative to legacy phone offerings, enabling organizations to connect and interact in new and convenient ways to keep businesses moving.

The combination also offers both companies significant cross-selling opportunities to each other's respective customer bases. As a result of the acquisition, Zoom will play an even greater role in driving the digital future and bringing companies and their customers closer together.

Following the close of the transaction, Five9 will be an operating unit of Zoom and Rowan Trollope will become a President of Zoom and continue as CEO of Five9, reporting to Eric Yuan.

Details on the Proposed Transaction As part of the agreement, Five9 stockholders will receive 0.5533 shares of Class A common stock of Zoom Video Communications, Inc. for each share of Five9, Inc. Based on the closing share price of Zoom Class A common stock as of July 16, 2021, this represents a per share price for Five9 common stock of $200.28 and an implied transaction value of approximately $14.7 billion.

The Boards of Directors of Zoom and Five9 have approved the transaction. The Board of Directors of Five9 recommends that Five9 stockholders approve the transaction and adopt the merger agreement. The transaction, which is anticipated to close in the first half of calendar year 2022, is subject to approval by Five9 stockholders, the receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Additional details and information about the terms and conditions of the acquisition will be available in current reports on Form 8-K to be filed by Zoom and Five9 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Advisors Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is serving as exclusive financial advisor and Cooley LLP is serving as legal counsel to Zoom. Qatalyst Partners is serving as exclusive financial advisor and Latham and Watkins LLP is serving as legal counsel to Five9.
