Peraso Receives 180-Day Extension to Regain Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Rule

SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 2, 2023 / Peraso Inc. (NASDAQ:PRSO) ("Peraso" or the "Company"), a leader in mmWave technology for 60 GHz unlicensed and 5G licensed networks, today announced the Company received written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), granting the Company's request for a 180-day extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the "Bid Price Rule"). The Company now has until January 29, 2024 to meet the requirement. If at any time prior to January 29, 2024, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule during the additional 180-day extension, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the relevant delisting determination to a Hearings Panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the hearings panel, that such appeal would be successful.

The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and evaluate its available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

Nasdaq's extension notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock, which continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol, "PRSO."
