IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobix Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBX), a fast-growing provider of advanced connectivity and defense technology solutions, today announced that it held a constructive meeting with Peraso, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRSO) regarding Mobix Labs enhanced cash-and-stock proposal to acquire the company. Both sides agreed to continue discussions, and Mobix Labs reaffirmed its intention to close the transaction within the next 75 days.

Mobix Labs’ enhanced proposal to offer Peraso stockholders 30% cash

Under its enhanced proposal, Mobix Labs intends to provide Peraso stockholders with a transaction structured as approximately 30% cash and 70% Mobix Labs common stock. This mix of consideration is designed to deliver immediate and certain value through the cash component, while also giving Peraso stockholders the opportunity to participate in the future growth and upside of Mobix Labs through ownership of its publicly traded shares.

Value Creation: Multiple Engines of Growth

Mobix Labs believes the proposed transaction would unlock significant value for stockholders through:

• Revenue Growth – Peraso’s wireless and millimeter wave technologies expand Mobix Labs’ product portfolio and create new sales opportunities worldwide.
• Accretion – The transaction is expected to be accretive quickly, boosting earnings per share and creating near-term stockholder value.
• Cost Synergies – Immediate savings from eliminating redundancies and streamlining operations.
• Scale and Reach – A larger customer base, expanded geographic presence, and deeper relationships across aerospace, defense, and wireless markets.

“This meeting underscored what we have believed from the outset: Mobix Labs and Peraso are a natural strategic fit,” said Phil Sansone, CEO of Mobix Labs. “Peraso brings deep expertise in millimeter wave and wireless technologies, which complements Mobix Labs’ momentum in aerospace, defense, and advanced connectivity. Together, we can broaden our product portfolio, accelerate innovation, and compete more effectively in markets where demand is expanding rapidly. Our proposal gives stockholders the best of both worlds – immediate cash value and a stake in Mobix Labs’ long-term growth – and we have stated our intention to close this transaction within 75 days.”

Mobix Labs has ample financing alternatives to fund the transaction and believes the combination would create a stronger company positioned to benefit from increasing global investment in aerospace, defense, and advanced wireless markets.

These forward-looking statements are based on Mobix Labs’ current expectations, beliefs, and assumptions regarding future events and are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include the ability to reach a definitive agreement with Peraso, Peraso’s willingness to engage in negotiations, the outcome of any tender offer, exchange offer, or solicitation, satisfaction of closing conditions, stockholder and regulatory approvals, and potential delays in consummating the transaction.
