Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp (PCSC) seeks extension to June 13, 2027; redemption option
Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp is asking shareholders to approve an amendment to its Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the deadline to complete an initial business combination from June 13, 2026 to June 13, 2027 (the "Articles Extension") and to approve a conditional adjournment mechanism.
The proposal follows PCSC's December 5, 2025 business combination agreement with Freenome; the extension would permit additional time to consummate that transaction or another business combination. Public holders may redeem Class A ordinary shares for their pro rata share of the Trust Account if the Articles Extension is implemented. As of May 1, 2026, the Trust Account held approximately $92.9 million, implying a redemption price of approximately $10.78 per public share versus a Nasdaq closing price of $11.17 on that date. The Board, including Initial Shareholders holding ~22.1% of voting power, recommends voting FOR both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

Insights
Extension seeks to preserve transaction optionality while triggering a shareholder redemption period.
The extension proposal prolongs the SPAC's life to June 13, 2027, allowing more time to close the previously announced business combination with Freenome or find an alternative target. The extension activates a redemption window tied to the Trust Account balance ($92.9M as of May 1, 2026) and a per-share redemption estimate of $10.78.
Key dependencies include public shareholder redemption decisions and Nasdaq continued-listing thresholds; significant redemptions could reduce the Trust Account and risk noncompliance with listing standards. Subsequent filings will show final redemption tallies and whether the adjournment vote is exercised.
The amendment and adjournment mechanics mirror common SPAC extension structures and leave sponsor interests intact.
The Board recommends the Articles Extension to preserve the Freenome transaction window and permit further solicitations via the Adjournment Proposal if votes are insufficient. The Initial Shareholders (including the Sponsor) control ~22.1% of voting power and have committed to vote in favor, which materially affects the vote math.
Investors should watch the post-redemption Trust Account balance and any disclosure of cumulative redemptions; those figures determine whether Nasdaq listing standards remain satisfied and whether the adjournment will be used.

Q: | How do I vote? |
A: | If you were a holder of record of Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares,” and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) on May 12, 2026, the record date for the Shareholder Meeting (the “Record Date”), you may vote with respect to the proposals in person or virtually at the Shareholder Meeting, or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. |

Q: | How do I attend the virtual Shareholder Meeting? |
A: | If you are a registered shareholder, you will receive a proxy card from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental,” or the “Transfer Agent”). The form contains instructions on how to attend the virtual Shareholder Meeting including the URL address, along with your control number. You will need your control number for access. If you do not have your control number, contact the Transfer Agent at 917-262-2373, or email proxy@continentalstock.com. |
Q: | What are the specific proposals on which I am being asked to vote at the Shareholder Meeting? |
A: | PCSC shareholders are being asked to consider and vote on the following proposals: |
1. | Proposal No. 1—Extension Amendment Proposal—To amend, by way of special resolution, PCSC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the Termination Date by which PCSC has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Articles Extension”) from June 13, 2026 (the “Original Termination Date”) to June 13, 2027 (the “Articles Extension Date”), unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”); and |
2. | Proposal No. 2—Adjournment Proposal—To adjourn, by way of ordinary resolution, the Shareholder Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Q: | Am I being asked to vote on a proposal to elect directors? |
A: | No. Holders of Public Shares are not being asked to vote on the election of directors at this time. |
Q: | Are the proposals conditioned on one another? |
A: | Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Articles Extension. |
Q: | Why is PCSC proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal? |
A: | PCSC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association provide for the return of the Initial Public Offering proceeds held in trust to the holders of Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering if there is no qualifying Business Combination consummated on or before the Termination Date. The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal is to allow PCSC additional time to complete its previously announced Business Combination. On December 5, 2025, PCSC entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and Freenome. However, there can be no guarantee that the business combination with Freenome will be consummated. If it is not consummated, the Extension Amendment Proposal will allow PCSC additional time to complete an initial business combination (a “Business Combination”). Additionally, the purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal is to simultaneously (i) provide those PCSC shareholders who do not wish to extend the Termination Date with the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights earlier than they would if PCSC liquidated on the Termination Date and (ii) allow those PCSC shareholders who wish for PCSC to continue its search for a Business Combination to remain shareholders of PCSC. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Q: | What constitutes a quorum? |
A: | The presence, at the Shareholder Meeting (which would include presence at the virtual Shareholder Meeting), in person or by proxy, of shareholders holding not less than one-third of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the Shareholder Meeting constitutes a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The Initial Shareholders, who hold approximately 22.1% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date, will count towards this quorum. As a result, as of the Record Date, in addition to the shares of the Initial Shareholders, an additional 1,246,668 Ordinary Shares held by public shareholders would be required to be present at the Shareholder Meeting to achieve a quorum. |
Q: | What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the Shareholder Meeting? |
A: | The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Shareholder Meeting. |
Q: | How will the Initial Shareholders vote? |
A: | Our initial shareholders (the Sponsor and our independent directors, Mark C. McKenna, Kenneth Song and Harlan W. Waksal (together, the “Initial Shareholders”) intend to vote any Ordinary Shares over which they have voting control in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal. Since the Sponsor and PCSC’s directors and officers waived their redemption rights, pursuant to a letter agreement, they will not be able to redeem any Class B Ordinary Shares, Private Placement Shares or Public Shares held by them in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal. On the Record Date, Initial Shareholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 2,156,250 Class B Ordinary Shares and 286,250 Private Placement Shares, representing approximately 22.1% of PCSC’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. As a result, in addition to our Initial Shareholders, (i) approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of at least 4,935,834 Ordinary Shares held by public shareholders (or approximately 57.2% of the Public Shares) if all Ordinary Shares are represented at the Shareholder Meeting and cast votes, and the affirmative vote of at least 16,946 Ordinary Shares held by public shareholders (or approximately 0.2% of the Public Shares) if only such shares as are required to establish a quorum are represented at the Shareholder Meeting and cast votes; and (ii) approval of the Adjournment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of at least 3,091,251 Ordinary Shares held by public shareholders (or approximately 35.8% of the Public Shares) if all Ordinary Shares are represented at the Shareholder Meeting and cast votes, and no additional Public Shares if only such shares as are required to establish a quorum are represented at the Shareholder Meeting and cast votes. |
Q: | Who is PCSC’s Sponsor? |
A: | Our sponsor, Perceptive Capital Solutions Holdings, is a Cayman Islands exempted company. The Sponsor currently owns 2,066,250 Class B Ordinary Shares and 286,250 Private Placement Shares. |

Q: | Why should I vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal? |
A: | PCSC believes shareholders will benefit from PCSC consummating a Business Combination and is proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal to extend the date by which PCSC has to complete a Business Combination until |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Q: | Why should I vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal? |
A: | If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by PCSC’s shareholders, the Board may not be able to adjourn the Shareholder Meeting to a later date or dates in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, or if due to redemptions in connection with the Articles Extension, PCSC would not adhere to the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq. |
Q: | What if I do not want to vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal? |
A: | If you do not want the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal to be approved, you may “ABSTAIN”, not vote, or vote “AGAINST” such proposal. |
Q: | How are the funds in the Trust Account currently being held? |
A: | The funds in the Trust Account have, since the Initial Public Offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short- term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate PCSC. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account at any time, and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash, which would further reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of PCSC. |
Q: | Will you seek any further extensions to liquidate the Trust Account? |
A: | Other than as described in this proxy statement, PCSC does not currently anticipate seeking any further extension to consummate a Business Combination, but may do so in the future. |
Q: | What happens if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved? |
A: | If there are insufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, PCSC may put the Adjournment Proposal to a vote in order to seek additional time to obtain sufficient votes in support of the Articles Extension. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Q: | If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, what happens next? |
A: | If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, PCSC will continue to attempt to consummate a Business Combination until the Articles Extension Date. PCSC will procure that all filings required to be made with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal are made and will continue its efforts to obtain approval of a Business Combination at an extraordinary general meeting and consummate the closing of a Business Combination on or before the Articles Extension Date. |
Q: | If I vote for or against the Extension Amendment Proposal, do I need to request that my shares be redeemed? |
A: | Yes. Whether you vote “for” or “against” the Extension Amendment Proposal, or do not vote at all, you may elect to redeem your shares. However, you will need to submit a redemption request for your shares as described in the redemption procedures described in this proxy statement if you choose to redeem. |
Q: | Am I being asked to vote on a Business Combination at this Shareholder Meeting? |
A: | No. You are not being asked to vote on a Business Combination at this time. If the Articles Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your Public Shares, provided that you are a shareholder on the record date for the shareholder meeting to consider a Business Combination, you will be entitled to vote on a Business Combination when it is submitted to shareholders and will retain the right to have your Public Shares redeemed in connection with a Business Combination or liquidation, subject to any limitations set forth in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended by the Articles Extension. |
Q: | Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise Redemption rights? |
A: | No. You may exercise your Redemption rights whether or not you are a holder of Public Shares on the Record Date (so long as you are a holder at the time of exercise), or whether you are a holder and vote your Public Shares on the Extension Amendment Proposal (for or against) or any other proposal described by this proxy statement. As a result, the Articles Extension can be approved by shareholders who will redeem their Public Shares and no longer remain shareholders, leaving shareholders who choose not to redeem their Public Shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less liquid trading market, fewer shareholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq. |
Q: | May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card? |
A: | Yes. Shareholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to PCSC at 51 Astor Place, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10003 so that it is received by PCSC by , Eastern Time, on , or attend the Shareholder Meeting in person (which would include presence at the virtual Shareholder Meeting) and vote. Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to PCSC’s Secretary, which must be received prior to the vote at the Shareholder Meeting. However, if your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Q: | How are votes counted? |
A: | Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Shareholder Meeting, who will separately count “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes, “ABSTAIN” and broker non-votes. The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Shareholder Meeting. Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, and who vote thereon, at the Shareholder Meeting. |
Q: | If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me? |
A: | If your shares are held in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. Please note that you may not vote shares held in “street name” by returning a proxy card directly to PCSC or by voting online at the Shareholder Meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy,” which you must obtain from your broker, bank or other nominee. |
Q: | Does the Board recommend voting “FOR” the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal? |
A: | Yes. After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Board has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal is in the best interests of PCSC and its shareholders. The Board recommends that PCSC’s shareholders vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Q: | What interests do PCSC’s directors and officers have in the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal? |
A: | PCSC’s directors and officers have interests in the Extension Amendment Proposal that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among others, ownership, directly or indirectly through the Sponsor, of Class B Ordinary Shares and Private Placement Shares. See the section entitled “Proposal No 1—The Extension Amendment Proposal—Interests of the Sponsor, PCSC’s Directors and Officers” in this proxy statement. |
Q: | Do I have appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights if I object to the Extension Amendment Proposal? |
A: | No. There are no appraisal or dissenters’ rights available to PCSC’s shareholders in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal. |
Q: | What do I need to do now? |
A: | You are urged to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement and to consider how the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will affect you as a shareholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee. |
Q: | How do I exercise my redemption rights? |
A: | If you are a holder of Class A Ordinary Shares and wish to exercise your right to redeem your Class A Ordinary Shares, you must: |
I. | hold Class A Ordinary Shares (excluding Private Placement Shares); and |
II. | prior to , Eastern Time, on (two business days prior to the initially scheduled date of the Shareholder Meeting) (a) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent that PCSC redeem your Class A Ordinary Shares for cash and (b) tender or deliver your Class A Ordinary Shares (and share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms) to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Q: | What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights? |
A: | The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights will depend on your particular facts and circumstances. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine your tax consequences from the exercise of your redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax laws in light of your particular circumstances. For additional discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations with respect to the exercise of these redemption rights, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Shareholders Exercising Redemption Rights.” |
Q: | What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials for the Shareholder Meeting? |
A: | You may receive more than one set of voting materials for the Shareholder Meeting, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares. |
Q: | Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Shareholder Meeting? |
A: | PCSC will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Shareholder Meeting. PCSC has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC (“Sodali & Co”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Shareholder Meeting. PCSC will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Class A Ordinary Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Class A Ordinary Shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. The directors and officers of PCSC may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail or on the Internet. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies. |

• | the fact that the Initial Shareholders, including the Sponsor and certain of PCSC’s officers and directors (including those that are members of the Sponsor), have invested in PCSC an aggregate of $2,887,500, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for 2,156,250 Class B Ordinary Shares and the $2,862,500 purchase price for 286,250 Private Placement Shares. Subsequent to the initial purchase of the Class B Ordinary Shares by the Sponsor, the Sponsor transferred 30,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to each of our three independent directors. Assuming a trading price of $11.17 per Class A Ordinary Share (based upon the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 1, 2026), the 2,156,250 Class B Ordinary Shares and 286,250 Private Placement Shares held by the Sponsor would have an implied aggregate market value of $27,282,725. As a result, if a Business Combination is completed, the Initial Shareholders are likely to be able to make a substantial profit on their investment in PCSC at a time when the Class A Ordinary Shares have lost significant value. On the other hand, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved and PCSC liquidates without completing a Business Combination before June 13, 2027, the Initial Shareholders will lose their entire investment in PCSC; |
