Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 29, 2023, Concentrix Corporation (the “Company” or “Concentrix”) issued a press release announcing the Company’s entrance into an agreement to combine with Webhelp. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated in this Item 8.01 by reference.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

In connection with the proposed transaction between Concentrix Corporation (“Concentrix”) and Webhelp, Concentrix plans to file relevant materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including a proxy statement on Schedule 14A. Promptly after filing its definitive proxy statement with the SEC, Concentrix will mail the definitive proxy statement to each stockholder entitled to vote at the special meeting relating to the transaction. This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval. INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CAREFULLY READ THE PROXY STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO AND ANY DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE THEREIN) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION THAT CONCENTRIX WILL FILE WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSACTION AND THE PARTIES TO THE TRANSACTION. The definitive proxy statement, the preliminary proxy statement, and other relevant materials in connection with the transaction (when they become available) and any other documents filed by Concentrix with the SEC, may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) and Concentrix’ website at www.concentrix.com.

Participants in the Solicitation

Concentrix and its directors and executive officers may be deemed, under SEC rules, to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Concentrix’ stockholders in connection with the transaction. Information regarding the interests of such individuals in the proposed transaction will be included in the proxy statement relating to such transaction when it is filed with the SEC. You may obtain information about Concentrix’ executive officers and directors in Concentrix’ definitive proxy statement for its 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on February 9, 2023. To the extent holdings of such participants in Concentrix’ securities are not reported, or have changed since the amounts described in the proxy statement for the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, such changes have been reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. These documents may be obtained free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and Concentrix’ website at www.concentrix.com.

Information for U.S. Persons Holding Webhelp Shares

This proposed business combination is made for the securities of a non-U.S. company. The offer is subject to disclosure and procedural requirements in France and other non-U.S. jurisdictions that are different from those of the United States. The transaction will be structured to comply with the securities laws and regulations in France, the United States and other applicable jurisdictions that are applicable to transactions of this type.

It may be difficult for U.S. holders of Webhelp shares to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the federal securities laws of the United States, since Webhelp is incorporated in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction. U.S. holders may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.
