Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Profusa, Inc. has amended its asset purchase agreement with Bio Insights LLC for the PanOmics Assay platform. The original $30,000,000 purchase price, payable in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, remains unchanged.

The amendment removes Section 4.6, which had required issuing management an aggregate of 12% of fully diluted common shares immediately after closing and any related equity financing for the CEO and CFO. All references to these management shares are deleted, and a related approval reference in Section 3.3(c) is conformed. All other agreement terms stay in effect.

Positive

  • Elimination of 12% management equity grant: Removing the provision to issue an aggregate 12% of fully diluted common stock to the CEO and CFO meaningfully reduces potential dilution and is favorable for existing shareholders’ relative ownership stakes.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Profusa keeps $30M deal, removes 12% management equity grant.

Profusa keeps its planned acquisition of Bio Insights' PanOmics Assay assets on the same economic terms, paying $30,000,000 in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The technology focus and consideration structure are unchanged.

The key change is governance-related: deleting the provision to issue management an aggregate 12% of fully diluted common stock post-closing and financing, plus all related references. This materially reduces potential dilution that would have benefited only the CEO and CFO.

Because the amendment leaves the core acquisition intact while eliminating a sizable management equity allocation, the move is favorable for existing shareholders’ relative ownership positions and governance optics, without altering the transaction’s strategic rationale as described.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement

 

On May 22, 2026, Profusa Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Bio Insights LLC, a limited liability company (“Seller”), entered into a First Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”), amending that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 21, 2026 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and Seller.

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2026, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Seller agreed to sell, convey, assign, transfer, and deliver to the Company substantially all of the know-how assets relating to Seller’s PanOmics Assay, an integrated, NGS multi-omics analysis platform combining genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and related fields, used in drug discovery and precision medicine (the “Purchased Assets”). The aggregate purchase price under the Asset Purchase Agreement is $30,000,000, to be satisfied through the issuance by the Company to Seller of a newly created series of non-voting preferred stock designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,” convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Amendment deletes Section 4.6 (Management Shares) of the Asset Purchase Agreement in its entirety. Section 4.6 of the Asset Purchase Agreement previously provided that, in connection with the Closing, the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of the Company would approve and take any action necessary to cause the issuance to management of the Company of an aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to twelve percent (12%) of the fully diluted shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately following the Closing and any related equity financing, for the retention of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Management Shares”). The Amendment deletes this provision and all references to the Management Shares in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

In addition, the Amendment makes a conforming amendment to Section 3.3(c) of the Asset Purchase Agreement to remove the reference to the Compensation Committee’s approval of actions contemplated by Section 4.6.

 

Except as expressly amended by the Amendment, the Asset Purchase Agreement remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
