As a result, every four shares outstanding will be consolidated into one share, reducing the number of outstanding shares from 2,422,906 to approximately 605,726, while authorized shares remain at 601 million. No fractional shares will be issued; stockholders entitled to fractional shares will receive cash payments instead.
Profusa signs option agreement to acquire G3 Vision Labs
Profusa has signed an option agreement giving it the right to acquire commercial-stage diagnostics company G3 Vision Labs and its subsidiaries, which together generated estimated unaudited net revenues of approximately $111 million in 2025. The option is exercisable until 90 days after G3 delivers specified financial information, subject to conditions including Profusa raising at least $30 million in financing, refinancing or satisfying certain G3 indebtedness, and obtaining Nasdaq and stockholder approvals. As consideration for the option, Profusa issued 201,120 shares of common stock and 52,903.566 shares of a newly designated non-voting convertible preferred stock, with each preferred share convertible into 1,000 common shares upon stockholder approval. If the option is exercised, the combined company would operate as a public diagnostics company with national CLIA-certified laboratories serving addiction treatment, pain management, and behavioral health providers. The agreement does not constitute a change of control, and G3 stockholders retain the consideration if the option remains unexercised.
