Key Terms

3 terms
reverse stock split financial
"to effect a one-for-four (1:4) reverse stock split of its common stock"
A reverse stock split reduces a company's number of outstanding shares while raising the price per share proportionally, so the total value of each investor's holding is unchanged; a 1-for-10 split turns 100 shares worth $1 each into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to regain compliance with an exchange's minimum price rule or to attract investors who avoid very low-priced stocks.
cusip number regulatory
"but with a new CUSIP number 74319X405"
A CUSIP number is a nine-character code that uniquely identifies a specific U.S. or Canadian stock, bond, or other security, similar to a barcode or a social-security number for a financial instrument. It matters to investors because it removes confusion between similar securities, ensures trades and settlements are applied to the correct issue, and helps locate official documents and transaction records quickly.
certificate of incorporation regulatory
"filed an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation"
A certificate of incorporation is an official government document that creates a corporation and records key facts such as its legal name, basic governance structure, and stock authorization—think of it as a company's birth certificate plus its basic rulebook. Investors care because it establishes the company’s legal existence, limits owners’ personal liability, and sets the framework for issuing shares and enforcing shareholder rights, which affects ownership, control and the company’s ability to raise capital.

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.
