Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to

Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On July 21, 2026, Peraso Inc. (the “Company”)

received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon

the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) for the 30 consecutive business days ended July

20, 2026, the Company no longer meets the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing

Rule 5550(a)(2).

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A),

the Company has been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until January 19, 2027, in which to regain compliance. In order to regain

compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock must be at least $1 per share

for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance within

this 180-day period, the Company may be eligible to seek an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days provided it meets the continued

listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with

the exception of the bid price requirement, and further provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during

this second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company

will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice to the Company that its

Common Stock will be subject to delisting.

The above mentioned letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Common Stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company

is monitoring the closing bid price of its Common Stock and considering its available options in the event the closing bid price of the

Common Stock remains below $1 per share.

Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations.

On July 20, 2026, the board of directors of the

Company set September 10, 2026 as the date of the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”).

The 2026 Annual Meeting will be a virtual meeting. Stockholders of record at the close of business on July 20, 2026 will be entitled to

notice of and to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting. Because the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before the anniversary

date of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company is providing the due date for submission of any qualified stockholder proposal

or qualified stockholder nominations.

Stockholders of the Company who wish to have a

proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2026 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must ensure that such proposal is received by the Company’s

Secretary at its principal executive offices at the address set forth above on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on August 3, 2026,

which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials. Any such proposal

must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to be eligible

for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2026 Annual Meeting.

In addition, in accordance with the requirements

contained in the Company’s bylaws, stockholders of the Company who wish to bring business before the 2026 Annual Meeting outside

of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act or to nominate a person for election as a director must ensure that written notice of such proposal

(including all information specified in the Company’s bylaws) is received by the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s

principal executive offices at the address set forth above no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on August 3, 2026. Any such proposal

must meet the requirements set forth in the Company’s bylaws to be brought before the 2026 Annual Meeting.

In addition, to comply with the universal proxy

rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide

notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act by 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on August 3, 2026, which

is the tenth calendar day following the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K publicly announcing the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting.

Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
