Conference Call/Webcast Today at 5 pm ET

TORONTO and DALLAS, May 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (TSXV: PINK) (OTC: PYNKF) (FSE: 4PC) ("Perimeter" or the "Company") – a medical technology company driven to transform cancer surgery with ultra-high-resolution, real-time, advanced imaging tools to address high unmet medical needs – today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023 and provided a corporate update.

Key Highlights

• Completed the first commercial placement of its flagship Perimeter S-Series OCT system in the state of Utah
• Initiated an additional clinical trial site at Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center in Jacksonville, FL
• Appointed global industry leader Suzanne Foster – currently President of Beckman Coulter Life Sciences – as Chair of its Board of Directors
• Showcased Perimeter S-Series OCT at leading industry conferences including SSO 2023 and ASBrS 2023

Jeremy Sobotta, Perimeter's Chief Executive Officer stated, "We completed a number of important milestones in our first quarter while continuing to advance and execute upon our planned commercial and clinical activities. Sales leads and demos of our flagship Perimeter S-Series OCT continue, resulting in our first commercial placement in the state of Utah. The highly engaged champions of our technology at these newest accounts continue to build upon our foundation of reference sites that drive our commercialization strategy."

Mr. Sobotta added, "Looking further ahead, we believe combining AI with our 'real-time' ultra-high-resolution imaging could be truly transformative when used during breast conservation surgery. We are evaluating our 'next-gen' AI technology in a pivotal trial that is expected to be completed at the end of 2023.  We recently initiated an additional clinical site at Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center in Jacksonville, FL to further support patient enrollment. Our hope is that the data generated from this study will demonstrate that the surgeon's use of the breakthrough-device designated Perimeter B-Series OCT with ImgAssist AI for margin visualization is superior to the current standard of care."

First Quarter Update

• In January 2023, Perimeter announced the completion of two follow-on commercial placements of Perimeter S-Series OCT, resulting in a doubling of the commercial installed base of S-Series OCT during the fourth quarter 2022. Subsequent to quarter-end, Perimeter completed the first commercial placement of its flagship Perimeter S-Series OCT system in the state of Utah.
• Led by Principal Investigator, Dr. Alastair Thompson at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, a multi-center, randomized two-arm pivotal clinical trial is evaluating Perimeter B-Series OCT combined with its proprietary ImgAssist AI software in approximately 330 patients, with study completion anticipated by the end of 2023. Subsequent to quarter-end, Perimeter initiated an additional clinical trial site at Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center in Jacksonville, FL to further support patient enrollment.
• Perimeter announced the appointment of global industry leader Suzanne Foster – currently President of Beckman Coulter Life Sciences – as Chair of its Board of Directors, which is comprised of world-class life sciences, medtech, and AI experts, including Anantha Kancherla of Meta.
• Perimeter announced the publication of a white paper from three case studies from the commercial use of its Perimeter S-Series OCT technology. The supporting clinical evidence suggests that the surgeon's use of the S-Series aided in intraoperative clinical decisions to excise additional tissue during the primary surgeries, sparing the need for a second surgery and relieving the associated burden on clinical, economic, and psychosocial resources.
• Perimeter conducted multiple clinical presentations and product demonstrations showcasing Perimeter S-Series OCT at several leading industry events and conferences including:
• SSO 2023, the Society of Surgical Oncology's International Conference on Surgical Cancer Care, featuring a spotlight presentation by Dr. Shawndeep Singh Tung and Dr. Nina Tamirisa.
• ASBrS 2023, the 24th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Breast Surgeons, including a symposium and panel discussion with Dr. Beth Anglin and Dr. Michele Carpenter moderated by Dr. Beth DuPree.
