Exhibit 99.1
Peraso Confirms Receipt of Unsolicited, Non-Binding Acquisition Proposal from Mobix Labs, Inc.
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 27, 2025 – Peraso Inc. (NASDAQ: PRSO) (“Peraso” or the “Company”), a pioneer in mmWave wireless technology solutions, today confirmed that it has received an unsolicited, non-binding proposal from Mobix Labs, Inc. (“Mobix”) to acquire all of the Company’s issued and outstanding equity securities in exchange for newly issued shares of Mobix common stock, with a fixed exchange ratio based on the average daily closing price of the Company’s common stock over the 30 calendar days ending on June 11, 2025, plus a 20% premium, or approximately $1.20 per share.
Peraso believes that certain financial information and characterizations of the Company included in Mobix’s press release dated June 26, 2025 are potentially inaccurate.
For example, the Company reported net revenue of approximately $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and approximately $14.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Investors are urged to read the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025. These filings contain audited and reviewed financial statements and remain the authoritative source of information regarding the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In addition, the Company is currently in compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Mobix’s press release incorrectly states that, based on the Company’s recent SEC filings, the Company must raise its market value to at least $35 million by November 2025 to maintain its Nasdaq listing. The Company satisfies the continued listing standards through compliance with the stockholders’ equity alternative under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires maintaining stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million. The Company is permitted to rely on this standard as an alternative to the $35 million market value of listed securities requirement cited by Mobix.
Peraso’s Board of Directors is evaluating the Company’s options to enhance stockholder value. The Company’s Board of Directors and management team are committed to acting in the best interests of all stockholders. Consistent with its fiduciary duties and in consultation with the Company’s financial and legal advisors, the Board of Directors will carefully review Mobix’s proposal to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. The Company does not intend to make further comments regarding potential transactions or provide any public updates regarding proposed or potential transactions, unless required by applicable law or a regulatory body. There can be no assurance that any transaction will be completed at this price or at any other price with such third party or any other third party.
No action is required by Peraso stockholders at this time.
