Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On July 16, 2024, Peraso Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release providing a business update and announcing unaudited preliminary revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the “Press Release”). A copy of the Press Release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the sections of the Press Release incorporated by reference herein, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

The information set forth in the Press Release, solely to the extent such information references the Company’s expectation for the preliminary revenue estimate for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, together with the paragraphs set forth under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements,” is incorporated by reference into Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The portions of the Press Release incorporated by reference into Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are being filed pursuant to Item 8.01. The remaining portions of the Press Release are being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Because the Company’s financial statements as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 have not yet been finalized or audited and remain subject to change, the Company’s final results for such periods may differ materially from the unaudited preliminary financial information included in the Press Release. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the unaudited preliminary financial information included in the Press Release.
