Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 11, 2026, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Peraso Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Kevin D. Liu as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer (and principal financial and accounting officer), effective as of November 18, 2026. Mr. Liu succeeds Ronald Glibbery, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has served as interim Chief Financial Officer (and principal financial and accounting officer) since October 2, 2026. Mr. Glibbery will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Secretary.
Mr. Liu, age 44, is an investor relations professional with over a decade of sell-side equity research experience. Since January 2019, Mr. Liu has served as the founder and Chief Executive Officer of K. Liu & Company LLC (“K. Liu & Company”), a consulting firm providing outsourced investor relations services and company-sponsored research to corporate issuers, including engagements with Logility Supply Chain Solutions from January 2019 to April 2025, Movella from April 2023 to September 2024 and the Company from June 2022 to October 2026. Prior to founding K. Liu & Company, Mr. Liu served as a Senior Analyst at B. Riley & Co., LLC (now B. Riley Securities, Inc.) from 2007 to 2018, where he published equity research reports on small- and mid-cap companies in the software and business services sectors. Mr. Liu holds a B.S. in Mathematics/Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles, and is a CFA charterholder.
In connection with his appointment, the Company entered into a Consulting Services Agreement and Work Order Number One thereunder, each effective as of October 30, 2026 (together, the “Consulting Agreement”), with K. Liu & Company and, solely for purposes of certain provisions thereof, Mr. Liu, which sets forth the terms of Mr. Liu’s services as interim Chief Financial Officer and the related compensation arrangement. The Consulting Agreement was approved by the compensation committee of the Board, and ratified by the Board, on November 11, 2026. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, K. Liu & Company, through Mr. Liu, will perform the functions of a fractional Chief Financial Officer of the Company as a non-employee independent contractor, with Mr. Liu devoting approximately three days (24 hours) per week on average, and K. Liu & Company will receive (i) a monthly fixed fee of $12,500, subject to proration for any partial monthly period, and (ii) reimbursement of reasonable and authorized travel expenses in accordance with the Company’s travel and expense policies. Fees under the Consulting Agreement accrue from October 30, 2026, including for transition services provided before the effectiveness of Mr. Liu’s appointment. Mr. Liu is not eligible to participate in any employee benefit plan of the Company. The Consulting Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 30 days’ written notice, and upon any termination thereof, Mr. Liu will be deemed to have resigned from all officer positions with the Company and its subsidiaries. The Consulting Agreement also contains customary confidentiality and intellectual property assignment provisions, and provides that the Company will indemnify, and advance expenses to, K. Liu & Company and Mr. Liu on the same basis as the Company’s other executive officers, subject to certain exceptions, and will cover them as insureds under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies during the term of the Consulting Agreement and for six years thereafter.
The foregoing description of the Consulting Agreement does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Consulting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”) and incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with his appointment, Mr. Liu will also enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.22 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2012, which is incorporated by reference herein.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Liu and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as interim Chief Financial Officer (and principal financial and accounting officer). Mr. Liu has no family relationships with any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. From June 2022 until October 2026, K. Liu & Company, of which Mr. Liu is the founder, Chief Executive Officer and sole owner, provided company-sponsored research coverage of the Company under an agreement providing for a monthly fee of $5,000. The Company paid K. Liu & Company $60,000 in each of 2024 and 2025 and $50,000 in 2026 under that agreement. The agreement was terminated effective October 31, 2026, prior to the effectiveness of Mr. Liu’s appointment, and no further amounts are payable under it. Except as described in this paragraph, Mr. Liu has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

| 4.1 | Reservation of Rights. All deliverables developed by Consultant and provided to Company under this Agreement, including without limitation any designs, improvements, processes, software programs, works of authorship, documentation, data, techniques, know-how, secrets or other intellectual property rights or any interest therein (collectively, the “Deliverables”) made by Consultant, either alone or in conjunction with others, in the course of performing the Services, shall be and hereby are the exclusive property of Company without any further compensation to Consultant. In addition, without limiting the generality of the prior sentence, all Deliverables that are copyrightable are intended to be “work made for hire” as defined in Section 101 of the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, and shall be and hereby are the property of Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant retains all right, title and interest in and to its pre-existing materials, general skills, know-how and methodologies, and in any work performed for other clients that does not use Company’s Confidential Information. |
| 4.2 | Further Actions. Consultant shall promptly disclose any Deliverables to Company. If any Deliverable is not the property of Company by operation of law, this Agreement or otherwise, Consultant will, and hereby does, assign to Company all right, title and interest in and to such Deliverable, without further consideration, and will assist Company and its nominees in every way, at Company’s expense, to secure, maintain and defend Company’s rights in such Deliverable. |

| 6.4 | Return or Destruction. At the request of Company during the Term and promptly upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall return or destroy, as Company directs, all materials in any medium that contain, refer to or relate to the Confidential Information of Company that are in Consultant’s possession or control, except to the extent that retention is required by law, necessary to document performance under this Agreement, or such return or destruction is not reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant may keep one copy of any Confidential Information as required for legal or archival purposes. |
| 6.5 | Protected Activity. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits Consultant from reporting possible violations of law to, filing a charge or complaint with, or participating in an investigation by any governmental agency, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, or from receiving an award for information provided to any governmental agency, in each case without notice to Company. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Consultant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. |
