Zoom zooms into wall of shareholders. Video-conferencing giant Zoom and cloud-based software company Five9 have agreed to axe their proposed nearly $15 billion deal, after it did not receive the needed votes from Five9 shareholders, according to a statement released late in the day Thursday. The deal had been a point of intense scrutiny, with the U.S. government concerned about Zoom's ties to China and proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services worried about Zoom's slowing growth.
