Key Details

• Mutual confidentiality agreement between Peraso and Mobix Labs was entered on October 30, 2025.
• Mobix Labs delivered a non‑binding indication of interest proposing a possible all‑stock transaction at a premium to Peraso’s trading price.
• Discussions remain preliminary: subject to further diligence, negotiation, and execution of definitive documentation; no agreement finalized.

Why It Matters

• For investors, this filing signals a potential strategic transaction (merger/acquisition) that could materially affect Peraso’s ownership, valuation, and future strategy if it proceeds.
• The non‑binding indication at a premium suggests Mobix Labs is proposing terms that could offer value above current market prices, but there is substantial uncertainty—diligence and negotiations may result in no deal or materially different terms.
• Retail investors should treat this as an early, non‑binding development and watch for further filings or definitive agreements for material updates. Refer to Peraso’s SEC filings for additional risk factors and disclosures.
