Insights
Peraso is navigating multiple acquisition interest including Mobix Labs' unsolicited offer, maintaining disciplined process despite pressure.
Peraso's strategic review process has taken an interesting turn with Mobix Labs' persistence in pursuing an acquisition without standard protections. The latest development shows two key dynamics at play: Mobix Labs modified its approach with a revised cash-and-stock offer while continuing to resist signing a standard confidentiality agreement with standstill provisions, while Peraso's board is threading the needle between engagement and protection.
What's particularly notable is that Peraso has multiple interested parties who have signed confidentiality agreements with standard standstill provisions - the very terms Mobix Labs refuses to accept. This creates a fundamental tension in the process. By agreeing to a limited exploratory call without requiring an NDA, Peraso's board is making a calculated compromise to hear Mobix Labs out while protecting sensitive information.
The board's approach demonstrates careful governance in a potentially contentious situation. They're maintaining process integrity by treating all potential acquirers consistently while still showing flexibility. This disciplined approach suggests the board is properly executing its fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value rather than rushing into a transaction.
The undetermined mix of cash and stock in Mobix Labs' offer introduces significant valuation uncertainty. Without clarity on this structure, shareholders cannot effectively evaluate the proposal against alternatives. The board's cautious engagement strategy appears designed to extract more concrete terms while maintaining competitive tension among multiple bidders to potentially drive better offers.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA / / September 8, 2025 / . (NASDAQ:PRSO) ("Peraso" or the "Company"), a pioneer in mmWave wireless technology solutions, today confirmed that it has received two further letters from Mobix Labs, Inc. ("Mobix Labs") in connection with Mobix Labs' unsolicited offer to acquire the Company.
Mobix Labs' letter dated September 4, 2025 included a revised acquisition proposal involving a combination of cash and stock consideration in an undetermined amount. The September 4 letter reiterated Mobix Labs' refusal to enter into a confidentiality agreement or receive material non-public information ("MNPI"), and requested a response by September 8, 2025.
Mobix Labs' follow-up letter, dated September 5, 2025, stated that while Mobix Labs continues to oppose any standstill restrictions, it would be willing to consider a limited confidentiality arrangement to permit Peraso to share non-public information deemed reasonably necessary, provided that such arrangement does not include a standstill and does not indefinitely constrain Mobix Labs.
After careful consideration, in consultation with its legal and financial advisors, the Board of Directors of Peraso (the "Board") has authorized a limited exploratory call with Mobix Labs. The Company has requested that any such discussion take place without Peraso sharing any MNPI and outside the bounds of a confidentiality agreement. The purpose of the call, if Mobix Labs agrees to proceed on those terms or on other mutually acceptable terms, would be to allow the Company to better understand Mobix Labs' revised proposal and intentions.
The Company is aware of recent public statements by Mobix Labs regarding the Board's responsiveness to its unsolicited proposal. The Board has remained open to engaging with all interested parties, including Mobix Labs, through a fair and disciplined process consistent with its fiduciary duties. The Company extended to Mobix Labs the same opportunity provided to other parties to participate under a customary mutual confidentiality agreement.
The Company continues to conduct a disciplined strategic review process focused on maximizing value for all stockholders. Multiple other parties have entered into customary mutual confidentiality agreements, including standard standstill provisions, and are actively participating in the process.
While Peraso remains open to evaluating any proposal that may enhance stockholder value, the Company will continue to pursue its review in a manner that is fair, consistent, and aligned with its fiduciary obligations.
