On April 10, 2026, Peraso Inc.

Set forth below are certain updates with respect to the Company’s preliminary financial results included in the Current Prospectus Supplement.
On March 16, 2026, the Company announced on its conference call that the Company expects total revenues for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026 to be approximately $1.2 million.
Based on the Company’s preliminary internal financial reports, the Company now expects that its total revenues for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026 will be approximately $0.9 million to $1.0 million.
The Company is currently in the process of finalizing its condensed consolidated financial results for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026 and, therefore, its actual results for this period are not yet available. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the estimated preliminary results set forth above and will not be finalized until after the Company completes its normal quarter-end financial accounting close process. The Company’s preliminary results set forth above reflect management’s best estimate of the impact of events during the quarter and are based on the information currently available to the Company as of the date hereof.
Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on this preliminary estimate.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.
