As previously reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 22, 2025, CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in one or more closings, up to 10,000 shares of the Company’s Series D convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), in a private placement offering.

On June 5, 2025, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and certain Investors, mutually agreed to effect, and effected, an Additional Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), with respect to 938 additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $750,400. The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock are set forth in the certificate of designations of rights and preferences of the Series D Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”), filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 22, 2025. The offering and sale of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock were issued and, upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series D Preferred Stock will be issued, in each case, without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as a transaction not involving a public offering and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
