• Equity Line Registration Effective

  The registration statement for up to 31.75 million shares under the $25 million committed equity facility with Roth Principal Investments has been declared effective.

• Massive Potential Dilution

  If all 31.75M shares are issued, they would represent approximately 67.9% of the current 15.04M outstanding shares, severely diluting existing holders.

• Discounted Sales Create Overhang

  Shares will be sold to Roth at a 3% discount for market, open, or intraday purchases, or a 5% discount for pre- or post-market transactions, with the investor free to resell immediately at market.

• Exchange Cap Limits Immediate Sales

  Without stockholder approval, Nasdaq rules cap issuance at 3,004,114 shares (19.99% of outstanding), unless the average sale price exceeds $0.9853.

With the registration statement now effective, Peraso can tap its $25 million committed equity facility by selling shares to Roth Principal Investments at a discount. The prospectus covers 31.75 million shares—if fully issued, existing holders face roughly 68% dilution. That lifeline arrives as the company confronts a going-concern warning and dwindling cash, making the facility essential but costly. Yesterday's close was $0.755, and sales will occur at a 3–5% discount to market, creating immediate overhang. Without stockholder approval, only 3 million shares can be sold, yet the full registration signals intent to draw the entire $25 million if necessary.
