 it is governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits a person who owns 15% or more of its outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with Profusa for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired 15% or more of Profusa’s outstanding voting stock, unless such merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner. This could discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring or merging with Profusa, whether or not it is desired by, or beneficial to, its stockholders. This could also have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for Profusa Common Stock, including transactions that may be in its stockholders’ best interests. Finally, these provisions establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at stockholder meetings. These provisions would apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders. For more information, see “ Description of Profusa Capital Stock”. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between Profusa and its stockholders, which could limit its stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with Profusa or its directors, officers or employees. Profusa’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: •any derivative action or proceeding brought on Profusa’s behalf; •any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; •any action asserting a claim against Profusa arising under the DGCL, its amended and restated certificate of incorporation or its amended and restated bylaws; and •any action asserting a claim against Profusa that is governed by the internal -affairsdoctrine or otherwise related to Profusa’s internal affairs. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, Profusa’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. This provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities
