\nPerfect Corp. (NYSE: PERF) (\u201cPerfect\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a leading artificial intelligence (\u201cAI\u201d) company offering AI and augmented reality (\u201cAR\u201d) powered solutions to beauty, fashion, photo and video creative industries, today announced the completion of the merger (the \u201cMerger\u201d), pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger (the \u201cMerger Agreement\u201d), dated as of July 10, 2026, between the Company and ProjectNY, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands controlled by Ms. Alice H. Chang (\u201cMerger Sub\u201d), and the plan of merger filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands (the \u201cPlan of Merger\u201d). In the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as the surviving company. As a result of the Merger, the Company\u2019s Class A ordinary shares ceased to be publicly traded.<\/p>\n
\nIn accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger which were approved at an extraordinary general meeting held on October 19, 2026, at the effective time of the Merger at 7:00 a.m. (Cayman Islands Time) on October 23, 2026 (the \u201cEffective Time\u201d), each ordinary share of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the \u201cShares\u201d), other than the Excluded Shares, the Continuing Shares and the Dissenting Shares, each as defined in the Merger Agreement, has been cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive US$2.00 in cash per share without interest (the \u201cMerger Consideration\u201d), subject to applicable withholding taxes.<\/p>\n
\nAt the Effective Time, each whole outstanding warrant to purchase Shares (collectively, the \u201cWarrants\u201d) became exercisable for US$2.00 in cash, subject to valid exercise and payment of the applicable exercise price under the warrant agreement dated January 7, 2021, as amended on October 28, 2022 (the \u201cWarrant Agreement\u201d). For valid exercises during the 30-day period following disclosure of the Merger\u2019s completion in the Company\u2019s Form 6-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the \u201cSEC\u201d) on October 23, 2026, the exercise price is temporarily reduced to US$1.999647 per Warrant, equal to US$2.00 less the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of US$0.000353. This reduced price applies through November 23, 2026 (the \u201cReduced Price Period\u201d).<\/p>\n
\nDetailed exercise instructions have been or will be provided separately to registered warrant holders. Holders through brokers, banks or custodians should contact their intermediary promptly, as its submission deadline may be earlier. Payments for valid exercises are generally expected following the end of the Reduced Price Period, subject to applicable withholding taxes.<\/p>\n
\nThe end of the Reduced Price Period does not itself cause unexercised Warrants to expire or be cancelled. Thereafter, the exercise price for Warrants entitled to the US$2.00 cash consideration will revert to US$11.50 per whole Warrant, subject to other adjustments under the Warrant Agreement, and will exceed that cash entitlement. Unexercised Warrants remain subject to their contractual expiration at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 28, 2027, and the other terms of the Warrant Agreement. This announcement is not a redemption notice.<\/p>\n
\nRegistered shareholders immediately prior to the Effective Time who are entitled to the Merger Consideration have received or will receive a letter of transmittal and instructions on how to surrender their Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration and, if they have not already received it, should wait to receive the letter of transmittal before surrendering their Shares.<\/p>\n
\nThe Company also announced today that it requested that trading of its Class A ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the \u201cNYSE\u201d) be suspended before the market opens on October 23, 2026 (New York time). The Company requested that the NYSE file a Form 25 with the SEC notifying the SEC of the delisting of its Class A ordinary shares on the NYSE and the deregistration of such shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the \u201cExchange Act\u201d). The Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspend its reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company\u2019s obligations to file reports with the SEC, including reports on Form 20-F and Form 6-K, will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of Form 15.<\/p>\n
