Item 1.01
Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement
 
On December 5, 2025, Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PCSC”), StarNet Merger Sub I, Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC (“Merger Sub I”), StarNet Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC (“Merger Sub II”), and Freenome Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Freenome”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”). The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Business Combination”) were unanimously approved by the boards of directors and special committees comprised of independent and disinterested members of the boards of directors of each of PCSC and Freenome. The Business Combination is expected to close in the first half of 2026, following the receipt of the requisite approvals of PCSC shareholders and Freenome stockholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.
 
Business Combination Agreement
 
The Domestication
 
The Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that at least one business day prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing” and the date upon which the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”), PCSC will de-register from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands and transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and Part 12 of the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Domestication”). In connection with the Domestication, (i) each outstanding Class A ordinary share of PCSC (each, a “PCSC Class A Share”), each outstanding Class B ordinary share of PCSC and each outstanding preference share of PCSC will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of PCSC (the “New Freenome Common Stock”), (ii) PCSC will file the New Freenome COI with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and adopt the New Freenome Bylaws (each, as defined and described below) and (iii) PCSC’s name will be changed to “Freenome, Inc.” (the resulting post-Closing entity, “New Freenome”).
 
PCSC Shareholder Redemptions
 
PCSC will provide the holders of PCSC Class A Shares the right to have all or a portion of their PCSC Class A Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the Business Combination, in accordance with PCSC’s governing documents, for a per-share price equal to the pro rata portion of the funds then in PCSC’s trust account (including interest not previously released to pay taxes). Any such redemptions will occur immediately prior to the consummation of the Domestication.
 
The Mergers
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, following the Domestication, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Freenome, with Freenome as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC (the “First Merger”). At the time the First Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of Freenome common stock (collectively, “Freenome Common Shares”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including such shares issued upon the conversion of all shares of Freenome preferred stock into Freenome Common Shares prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, but excluding Freenome Common Shares held in treasury or by Freenome stockholders who have properly demanded appraisal of such Freenome Common Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) will be automatically canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock equal to an exchange ratio, which is based on an implied Freenome base equity value of $725,000,000 and subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”); (ii) each option to purchase Freenome Common Shares (each, a “Freenome Option”), whether vested or unvested, will cease to represent the right to purchase Freenome Common Shares and will be canceled in exchange for options to purchase New Freenome Common Stock under the equity incentive plan to be adopted by PCSC in advance of the Closing (the “New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan”), in an amount equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of Freenome Common Shares subject to such Freenome Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (i) the exercise price per share of such Freenome Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, and generally subject to the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) that applied to the corresponding Freenome Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (iii) each restricted stock unit award that is outstanding with respect to Freenome Common Shares (each, a “Freenome RSU Award”), whether vested or unvested, will cease to have any rights in respect of the Freenome Common Shares and will be canceled in exchange for a restricted stock unit award under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan that settles in a number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) in an amount and subject to such terms and conditions, in each case, as to be set forth on an allocation schedule, that will generally be subject to the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) that applied to the corresponding Freenome RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time.
 

As part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, Freenome, as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, will merge with and into Merger Sub II with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving company in the merger (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”).

Representations and Warranties; Covenants
 
The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto (the “Parties”) that are customary for transactions of this type, including with respect to the operations of PCSC and Freenome prior to the Closing and the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the Business Combination containing a prospectus and proxy statement of PCSC (the “Registration Statement / Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Parties have also undertaken to procure clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). In addition, the board of directors of PCSC has agreed to adopt the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as defined and described below) prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, as described in the Business Combination Agreement.
 
Governance
 
PCSC has agreed to take all action within its power as may be necessary or appropriate such that, effective immediately after the Closing, the New Freenome board of directors will initially consist of nine directors, which will be divided into three classes, which directors will include one independent designee to be mutually agreed between Freenome and PCSC.

The obligation of PCSC and Freenome to consummate the Business Combination is subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, (ii) no legal restraint or prohibition issued by any governmental entity enjoining, prohibiting or preventing the consummation of the Business Combination being in effect, (iii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, (iv) receipt of the requisite approvals and consents of PCSC’s shareholders and Freenome’s stockholders, (v) the approval for listing of the New Freenome Common Stock (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the shares of New Freenome Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the First Merger) on Nasdaq; and (vi) after giving effect to the Business Combination (including the PIPE Financing (as described below) and any PCSC shareholder redemptions), PCSC having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately after the Effective Time.
 
The obligation of PCSC to consummate the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, there having been no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) since the date of the Business Combination Agreement that is continuing.
 

The obligation of Freenome to consummate the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) there having been no PCSC Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) since the date of the Business Combination Agreement that is continuing, (ii) the aggregate cash proceeds available for release from PCSC’s trust account (after deducting any amounts paid to PCSC shareholders that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination), together with the proceeds from the PIPE Financing (as described below), less certain unpaid PCSC expenses, equaling at least $250,000,000, and (iii) the consummation of the Domestication.
 
Termination
 
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the Closing, including, but not limited to, (i) by mutual written consent of PCSC and Freenome, (ii) by PCSC if the representations and warranties of Freenome are not true and correct or if Freenome fails to perform any pre-closing covenant or agreement set forth in the Business Combination Agreement such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iii) termination by Freenome if the representations and warranties of any PCSC Party (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) are not true and correct or if any PCSC Party fails to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in the Business Combination Agreement such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iv) subject to certain limited exceptions, by either PCSC or Freenome if the Business Combination is not consummated by September 5, 2026, (v) by either PCSC or Freenome if the requisite PCSC shareholder approvals are not obtained after the conclusion of the meeting at which PCSC’s shareholders voted on such matters, (vi) by either PCSC or Freenome, if any governmental entity has issued a final and non-appealable order prohibiting the Business Combination; and (vii) by PCSC if the Transaction Support Agreements (as described below) are not executed and delivered to PCSC within one business day of the signing date of the Business Combination Agreement or if Freenome’s stockholders do not deliver to PCSC a written consent approving the Business Combination within two business days following the date on which the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective.
 
If the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated, none of the Parties will have any liability or any further obligation under the Business Combination Agreement other than customary confidentiality obligations, except in the case of Willful Breach or Fraud (each, as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).
 
The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and any related agreements. The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective Parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective Parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the Parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about PCSC, Freenome, or any other Party to the Business Combination Agreement or any related agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Business Combination Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the Parties, are subject to limitations agreed upon by the Parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the Parties instead of establishing these matters as facts) and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the Parties that may differ from those applicable to investors and security holders. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Business Combination Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any Party to the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in PCSC’s public disclosures.
 
The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Business Combination Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
Prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, PCSC will approve and adopt, in each case subject to approval by the PCSC shareholders, the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and an employee stock purchase plan (the “New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan”) to provide eligible service providers of New Freenome and certain affiliated companies with the opportunity to purchase New Freenome Common Stock and/or acquire a proprietary interest in New Freenome. The New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan will provide for equity incentive compensation grants to employees and consultants (including non-employee directors) in the form of stock options (both non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based and cash-based awards.

Additionally, the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan will be automatically cumulatively increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2027 calendar year by (i) 5% of the sum of (A) the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock issued and outstanding and (B) the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of any outstanding, pre-funded warrants to acquire New Freenome Common Stock for a nominal exercise price ((A) and (B) together, the “Outstanding Shares”) on the immediately preceding December 31 or (ii) such lesser number of shares as determined by the administrator of the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan.
 
The initial number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan will equal 2% of New Freenome’s fully-diluted shares at the Closing. Additionally, on January 1, 2027, and each January 1 thereafter through January 1, 2036, the number of shares of New Freenome Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be cumulatively increased by the least of (i) 1% of the Outstanding Shares on the immediately preceding December 31, (ii) 1,500,000 shares or (iii) such number of shares as determined by the administrator of the New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the forms of New Freenome Equity Incentive Plan and New Freenome Employee Stock Purchase Plan, copies of which are included as Exhibit H and Exhibit I, respectively, to the Business Combination Agreement (attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto), and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

If any of these risks materialize or PCSC’s or Freenome’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
