As previously disclosed, on December 5, 2025, Perceptive Capital Solutions Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PCSC”), StarNet Merger Sub I, Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC (“Merger Sub I”), StarNet Merger
Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCSC (“Merger Sub II”), and Freenome Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Freenome”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business
Combination Agreement”), and the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Business Combination”).
On June 17, 2026, PCSC filed the definitive proxy
statement/prospectus (the “proxy statement/prospectus”) for the
solicitation of proxies in connection with the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of PCSC (the “Extraordinary General
Meeting”) to approve proposals related to the Business Combination. The Extraordinary General Meeting was originally scheduled to be held on July 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.
Eastern Time, at the offices of Cooley LLP located at 55 Hudson Yards, New York, New York 10001, and via a virtual meeting at https://www.cstproxy.com/perceptivecapitalsolutions/sm2026. PCSC has decided to postpone the Extraordinary General
Meeting to allow additional time for Freenome and PCSC to (i) supplement disclosure in the proxy statement/prospectus by way of a supplement, providing information with respect to certain events since the filing and mailing of the proxy
statement/prospectus; and (ii) solicit proxies in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting. There is no change to the purpose or any of the proposals to be acted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The Extraordinary General Meeting will now be held on July 15, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, at the offices of Cooley LLP
located at 55 Hudson Yards, New York, New York 10001, and via a virtual meeting at https://www.cstproxy.com/perceptivecapitalsolutions/sm2026. In connection with the postponement of the Extraordinary General Meeting, PCSC has extended the
deadline for delivery of redemption demands from holders of PCSC’s Class A ordinary shares to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 13, 2026. Shareholders who wish to withdraw their previously submitted redemption demands may do so by contacting PCSC’s
transfer agent.
All of PCSC's shareholders of record as of the close of business on
June 12, 2026 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the
Extraordinary General Meeting. PCSC's shareholders who have not already voted, or wish to change their vote, are strongly encouraged to submit their proxies as soon as possible. Valid proxies previously submitted by shareholders will continue
to be valid for purposes of the postponed Extraordinary General Meeting.
For more information on how to vote, please call PCSC’s proxy
solicitor Morrow Sodali LLC, at (800) 662-5200 (Toll Free) or (203) 658-9400 (Collect) or email PCSC.info@investor.sodali.com. More details about the Business Combination and the proposals to be voted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting
can be found in the proxy statement/prospectus, which is available at www.sec.gov.
A copy of the press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
Additional Information about the Proposed Business Combination and Where to Find It
The proposed Business Combination between PCSC and Freenome Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Freenome”) will be submitted to shareholders of PCSC for their consideration. In connection with the Business Combination, PCSC has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-295377) (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC, which includes the definitive proxy statement/prospectus distributed to PCSC's shareholders in connection with PCSC’s solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General
Meeting, as well as the prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to the stockholders of Freenome in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. PCSC has mailed the proxy statement/prospectus and other
relevant documents to its shareholders as of the Record Date. This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a substitute for the Registration Statement, the proxy statement/prospectus or any other document that PCSC or Freenome may file with the SEC in
connection with the Business Combination. Before making any voting or investment decision, PCSC shareholders, Freenome stockholders, and other interested persons are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus and any amendments or supplements
thereto, as well as any other relevant documents filed with the SEC by PCSC in connection with the proposed Business Combination, because they contain important information about PCSC, Freenome and the proposed Business Combination. Shareholders
may obtain free copies of the Registration Statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed by PCSC with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC's website located at www.sec.gov, or by directing a written request to Perceptive
Capital Solutions Corp, 51 Astor Place, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10003.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,”
“may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not
statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, expectations relating to the proposed Business Combination and other related transactions. These statements are based on various assumptions,
whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of Freenome’s and PCSC’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes
only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by an investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and
may differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Freenome and PCSC. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the inability of the
parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed Business Combination and other related transactions; and the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination
Agreement. Additional risks related to PCSC include those factors discussed in documents PCSC has filed or will file with the SEC, together with the risks described in the document entitled “Risk Factors” that has been made available to interested
parties concurrent with this Current Report on Form 8-K and also set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in PCSC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025,
PCSC’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and in those documents that PCSC has filed, or will file, with the SEC.
If any of these risks materialize or PCSC’s or Freenome’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these
forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither PCSC nor Freenome presently know or that PCSC and Freenome currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the
forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect PCSC’s and Freenome’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the cautionary statements herein. PCSC and Freenome anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause PCSC’s and Freenome’s assessments to change. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing
PCSC’s and Freenome’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Neither PCSC, Freenome nor any of their respective
affiliates undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
