Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On October 27, 2025, Profusa, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter (the “Notification Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing requirement to maintain a minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) of $15,000,000 for the Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C). Nasdaq’s determination was based on the Company’s MVPHS having been below $15,000,000 for the prior 30 consecutive business days from September 12, 2025 through October 24, 2025.
The Notification Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market, and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “PFSA” during the compliance period.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until April 27, 2026, to regain compliance with the MVPHS requirement. If at any time before April 27, 2026, the Company’s MVPHS closes at or above $15,000,000 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation that the Company has regained compliance.
If the Company does not regain compliance by April 27, 2026, Nasdaq will notify the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market. In such event, the Company would be entitled to appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Alternatively, the Company may consider applying to transfer the listing of its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to meeting the applicable standards for continued listing on that market and paying the required application fee.
The Company intends to actively evaluate and monitor its MVPHS and evaluate available options to regain compliance within the compliance period.
This report is being filed to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt public disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notice.
Forward-Looking Statements.

Specifically, the Company’s statements regarding its intent and ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, potential actions to regain compliance, the possible transfer of the Company’s listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market, and the continued listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq, and other similar statements are forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may be beyond the control of Profusa and could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including the Company’s ability to improve or sustain its market value of publicly held shares for the requisite period, market conditions, and the Company’s financial and operating performance.
