Peraso Announces Exercise of Warrants for $1.1 Million in Gross Proceeds

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 11, 2025 / Peraso Inc. (NASDAQ: PRSO) ("Peraso" or the "Company"), a pioneer in mmWave wireless technology solutions, announced today the entry into a definitive agreement for the immediate exercise of certain outstanding Series C warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 952,380 shares of common stock, issued by Peraso in November 2024 (the "Existing Warrants"), at a reduced exercise price of $1.18 per share. The gross proceeds to Peraso are expected to be approximately $1.1 million, prior to deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. is acting as the exclusive placement agent for the offering.

In consideration for the immediate exercise of the Existing Warrants for cash, Peraso will issue new unregistered Series E warrants to purchase up to 952,380 shares of common stock (the "Series E Warrants"). The Series E Warrants will have an exercise price of $1.25 per share and are exercisable six months from the date of issuance. The term of the Series E Warrants is five and one-half years from the initial exercise date. The Series E Warrants are fixed priced and do not contain any price reset, exchange features or anti-dilution provisions.

The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Existing Warrants are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-283573). The Series E Warrants described above were offered in a private placement pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and, along with the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise, have not been registered under the 1933 Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. Peraso has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series E Warrants.

Additional information regarding the offering will be available in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities in this offering, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
