Crescent Acquisition Corp (CRSA) completed its previously announced business combination with LiveVox Holdings, Inc., a leading cloud-based provider of customer services and digital engagement tools.
Crescent Acquisition Corp is a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) formed by Crescent Capital, Robert D. Beyer, and Todd M. Purdy, to accomplish several transactions like mergers, capital stock exchanges, asset acquisitions, stock purchases, reorganizations, or similar business combinations with one or more businesses or assets.
LiveVox Holdings’ shares, units, and warrants will begin trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market from June 22, with the symbols “LVOX”, “LVOXU”, and “LVOXW”, respectively. The founder and CEO of LiveVox, Louis Summe, will continue to lead the business.
LiveVox secures deals over its competitors due to its superior technology and blended omnichannel approach to digital engagement and customer service. The company’s CCaaS 2.0 platform enables modern contact centers focused on helping customers to enhance their performance by adopting new technologies like AI and speech analytics.
LiveVox will receive $123 million to speed up growth by investing in sales and marketing. The added liquidity will also fund future growth opportunities. Further terms of the transaction have not yet been disclosed.

He further added, “After we took Crescent Acquisition Corp public, we searched for a market-leading company with a world class management team, and in LiveVox we found that and so much more.” (See CRSA stock chart on TipRanks)
