BERKELEY, California, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profusa, Inc. ("Profusa" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:PFSA), a commercial stage digital health company pioneering a next-generation technology platform enabling the continuous monitoring of an individual’s biochemistry, today announced that it ﬁled an amendment to its amended and restated certiﬁcate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to eﬀect a one-for-four (1:4) reverse stock split of its common stock. The reverse stock split will take eﬀect at 12:01 am (Eastern Time) on August 17, 2026, and the Company’s common stock will open for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on August 17, 2026 on a post-split basis, under the existing ticker symbol "PFSA" but with a new CUSIP number 74319X405.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every four (4) shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding prior to the opening of trading on August 17, 2026, will be consolidated into one issued and outstanding share, with no change in the nominal par value per share of $0.0001. No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder of record would become entitled to a fractional share because the number of shares of common stock they hold before the reverse stock split is not evenly divisible by the split ratio. Instead, each stockholder of record will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share.

As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of shares of common stock outstanding will be reduced from 2,422,906 shares to approximately 605,726 shares, and the number of authorized shares of common stock will remain at 601 million shares.
