Suzanne Foster, Chair of Perimeter's Board of Directors commented, "We are grateful for Jeremy's many contributions and service to Perimeter, particularly his prudent management of the Company's finances as the business transitioned from development stage to commercial stage. On behalf of the staff and the Board, we appreciate his leadership, dedication and hard work and wish him the best in his future endeavors."

Ms. Foster continued, "We are excited for Adrian to join Perimeter at this exciting time in the Company's growth as we focus on execution on commercial placements of the S-Series with continued advancement of the AI-enabled B-Series. In addition, I'd like to welcome Dr. Josh Vose to our Board; Josh will be instrumental in providing guidance to our ongoing clinical and regulatory strategy to accelerate the B-Series through clinical development and to commercialization."

Adrian Mendes, incoming CEO of Perimeter, commented, "The hardworking team at Perimeter has done a wonderful job marrying OCT technology with world-class AI algorithms and developing products that will greatly help cancer surgery patients. I look forward to joining this amazing team as they work to deploy these products broadly and get them into the hands of surgeons everywhere."

Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO and Founder of Social Capital and Perimeter's largest shareholder, commented, "We're excited to be bringing Adrian to the Perimeter team and believe he has the operational expertise necessary to rapidly move the company forward. Adrian has spent his career focused on successfully commercializing AI-enabled hardware across a number of industries and has the right mix of skills to accelerate the adoption of both the company's S-Series OCT technology and the forthcoming AI-enabled B-Series. We remain committed to Perimeter's long-term vision of improving cancer outcomes for patients and are excited about the company's next chapter under Adrian's leadership."
