**Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.**

On February 1, 2023, Peraso Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") for the 30 consecutive business days ending on January 31, 2023, the Company no longer meets the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until July 31, 2023, in which to regain compliance. In order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock must be at least $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance within this 180-day period, the Company may be eligible to seek an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days provided it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and further provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice to the Company that its Common Stock will be subject to delisting.

The above mentioned letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company's Common Stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company is monitoring the closing bid price of its Common Stock and considering its available options in the event the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock remains below $1 per share.

**SIGNATURE**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
