Proposal 1: Reverse Stock Split Proposal

PROPOSAL NO. 1: REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL

Our Board of Directors has approved the Reverse Split Proposal to amend our Charter to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Split Proposal permits (but does not require) the Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock by a ratio of one-for-fifteen (1:15), as described below. The form of certificate of amendment (the “Amendment”) to effect the Reverse Stock Split is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Background and Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

On June 9, 2025, we received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that because the Company had not regained compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”), the Staff has determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company was unable to complete its previously submitted plan of compliance within the 180-day extension period provided under the Listing Rules. On June 11, 2025, we submitted a hearing request to Nasdaq’s Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which stayed the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. On June 12, 2025, we were notified that the Panel agreed to consider our appeal at an oral hearing, which the Panel scheduled for July 17, 2025. The Panel has discretion to take actions as prescribed by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(c)(1) including, but not limited to, granting an exception to the continued listing standards for a period not to exceed 180 days from the date of the Notice.

On July 8, 2025, we received a letter from the Staff indicating that the bid price for our Common Stock had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, and that the Company is therefore not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

On July 17, 2025, we attended an oral hearing with the Panel, where we presented plans for coming into compliance with the continued listing standards, which include, but are not limited to, continued sales of Common Stock pursuant to our at-the-market offering, sales of Common Stock pursuant to the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, expanding availability of our live cell ChemoFx drug response assay and business collaborations, as well as a potential reverse stock split. We also requested an exception from the continued listing standards through December 8, 2025, to provide us the ability to evidence compliance with the standards.

Following the hearing, on July 23, 2025, we were notified by Nasdaq that the Panel had granted our request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to an extension through December 8, 2025, to demonstrate compliance with all continued listing requirements, including the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement and Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

The Board believes that the Reverse Stock Split is necessary to assure compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Board considers it important for the Company to maintain its Nasdaq listing. Delisting could adversely affect the trading market for the Company’s common stock. Further, delisting would adversely affect the Company’s ability to access the capital markets and pursue other financing alternatives.

In determining the 1:15 ratio, the Board of Directors considered, among other things:

·the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market;
·the historical trading price and trading volume of our common stock;
·the number of shares of our common stock outstanding; and
·the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading market for our common stock.

Other Potential Benefits of Reverse Stock Split

In addition to helping regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, we believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our common stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors, as we have been advised that the current market price of our common stock may affect its acceptability to certain institutional investors, professional investors and other members of the investing public. Many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. In addition, some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Moreover, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher. We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our common stock a more attractive and cost-effective investment for many investors, which will enhance the liquidity of the holders of our common stock.

Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock through the Reverse Stock Split is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of our common stock. However, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of our common stock will increase (proportionately to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split or otherwise) following the Reverse Stock Split or that the market price of our common stock will not decrease in the future. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split could be lower or higher than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.

The implementation of the Reverse Stock Split will result in an effective increase in the authorized number of shares of our common stock relative to the number of shares outstanding. By consolidating the number of outstanding shares, the Reverse Stock Split increases the number of authorized but unissued shares without changing the total authorized share count. This provides us with the flexibility to consider and respond to future business opportunities and needs as they arise, including equity offerings and other issuances, mergers, business combinations or other strategic transactions, asset acquisitions, stock dividends, other stock splits and other corporate purposes, although we have no current plans to issue additional securities. The Board believes that having such additional authorized shares of common stock available for issuance under the Charter will give us increased flexibility and would allow such shares to be issued without the expense and delay of a special stockholders’ meeting unless such approval is expressly required by applicable law.

Certain Risks and Potential Disadvantages Associated with a Reverse Stock Split

We cannot assure stockholders that the proposed Reverse Stock Split will sufficiently increase our stock price or be completed by December 8, 2025 in order to avoid the delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The effect of a Reverse Stock Split on our stock price cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of reverse stock splits for other companies, including those in our industry, is varied, particularly since some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively. It is possible that our stock price after a Reverse Stock Split will not increase in the same proportion as the reduction in the number of shares outstanding, causing a reduction in the Company’s overall market capitalization. Further, even if we implement the Reverse Stock Split, our stock price may decline due to various factors, including our future performance and general industry, market and economic conditions. This percentage decline, as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization, may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split. If we do not meet Nasdaq’s listing requirements by December 8, 2025, Nasdaq will move forward with delisting proceedings.

Additionally, in January 2025, the Nasdaq listing rules were amended to limit the conditions under which a listed company can use a reverse stock split to the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In particular, the amendment provides that if a company executes a reverse stock split to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement but its stock price falls below $1.00 per share within one year after the split, the company will not be granted a new compliance period to address the bid price deficiency. Instead, Nasdaq will move forward with delisting proceedings.

The proposed Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of our common stock and result in higher transaction costs. The liquidity of our common stock may be negatively impacted by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split, which would be exacerbated if the stock price does not increase following the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, a Reverse Stock Split would increase the number of stockholders owning “odd lots” of fewer than 100 shares, trading in which generally results in higher transaction costs. Accordingly, a Reverse Stock Split may not achieve the desired results of increasing marketability and liquidity as described above.

The implementation of a Reverse Stock Split would result in an effective increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock available for issuance, which could, under certain circumstances, have anti-takeover implications. The additional shares of common stock available for issuance could be used by the Company to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent changes in control or in our management. Although the Reverse Stock Split has been prompted by business and financial considerations, and not by the threat of any hostile takeover attempt (nor is the Board currently aware of any such attempts directed at us), stockholders should be aware that approval of the Reverse Stock Split could facilitate future efforts by us to deter or prevent changes in control, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices.

Stockholders should also keep in mind that the implementation of a Reverse Stock Split does not have an effect on the actual or intrinsic value of our business or a stockholder’s proportional ownership interest (subject to the treatment of fractional shares). However, should the overall value of our common stock decline after a Reverse Stock Split, then the actual or intrinsic value of shares held by stockholders will also proportionately decrease as a result of the overall decline in value.

Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on Holders of Outstanding Common Stock

Pursuant to the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split determined by the Board of Directors, 15 shares of existing common stock will be combined into one new share of common stock. Based on 10,892,657 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the record date, immediately following the Reverse Stock Split, the Company would have approximately 726,177 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (without giving effect to rounding for fractional shares). Fractional shares will not be issued. Instead, we will issue a full share of post-Reverse Stock Split common stock to any stockholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share of common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of our common stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in us or proportional voting power, except to the extent the Reverse Stock Split would result in some of our stockholders receiving one share of our common stock in lieu of a fractional share.

The Reverse Stock Split will result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of common stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

We do not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a series of plans or proposals of a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

After the Reverse Stock Split is effective, our common stock will have a new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (CUSIP) number, which is a number used to identify our equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP numbers will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP number by following the procedures described below. After the Reverse Stock Split, we will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Assuming that the Company’s meets the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq, we expect that our common stock will continue to be quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “POAI.”

Effective Time

The proposed Reverse Stock Split would become effective at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date of filing of the Amendment with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or such later date as is chosen by the Board and set forth in the Amendment, which date we refer to as the Reverse Split Effective Date. Except as explained below with respect to fractional shares, effective as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Reverse Split Effective Date, shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto will be combined, automatically and without any action on the part of us or our stockholders, into a lesser number of shares of our common stock in accordance with the 1-for-15 reverse split ratio.

Beneficial Holders of Common Stock (i.e., stockholders who hold in street name)

Upon the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat shares held by stockholders through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding our common stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who hold shares of our common stock with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.

Registered “Book-Entry” Holders of Common Stock (i.e., stockholders that are registered on the transfer agent’s books and records but do not hold stock certificates)

Certain of our registered holders of common stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the common stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts.

Stockholders who hold shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent will not need to take action (the exchange will be automatic) to receive shares of post-Reverse Stock Split common stock.

Holders of Certificated Shares of Common Stock

Stockholders holding shares of our common stock in certificated form will be sent necessary instructions by our transfer agent after the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split indicating how a stockholder should surrender his, her or its certificate(s) representing shares of our common stock (the “Old Certificates”) to the transfer agent in exchange for certificates representing the appropriate number of whole shares of post-Reverse Stock Split common stock (the “New Certificates”). No New Certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered all Old Certificates to our transfer agent in accordance with its instructions. No stockholder will be required to pay a transfer or other fee to exchange his, her or its Old Certificates. Stockholders will then receive a New Certificate(s) representing the number of whole shares of common stock that they are entitled as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Until surrendered, we will deem outstanding Old Certificates held by stockholders to be cancelled and only to represent the number of whole shares of post-Reverse Stock Split common stock to which these stockholders are entitled. Any Old Certificates submitted for exchange, whether because of a sale, transfer or other disposition of stock, will automatically be exchanged for New Certificates. If an Old Certificate has a restrictive legend on the back of the Old Certificate(s), the New Certificate will be issued with the same restrictive legends that are on the back of the Old Certificate(s).

Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificate(s) and should not submit any stock certificate(s) until requested to do so.

Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on Employee Plans, Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Units, Warrants, and Convertible or Exchangeable Securities

Proportionate adjustments are generally required to be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities entitling the holders to purchase, exchange for, or convert into, shares of common stock. This would result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities upon exercise, and approximately the same value of shares of common stock being delivered upon such exercise, exchange or conversion, immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares deliverable upon settlement or vesting of restricted stock awards will be similarly adjusted. The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to these securities will be proportionately based upon the reverse stock split ratio of 1:15.

No Appraisal Rights

Our stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware with respect to the Amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split.

Accounting Matters

This proposed amendment to our Charter will not affect the par value of our common stock per share. As a result, as of the time the Reverse Stock Split is effective, the stated capital attributable to common stock and the additional paid-in capital account on our balance sheet will not change due to the Reverse Stock Split. Reported per share net loss will be higher because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding.

Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to U.S. Holders

The following is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to certain U.S. holders of our common stock. This discussion is based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative rulings and pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and judicial decisions, each as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation, which may or may not be retroactive, could alter the tax consequences described herein. This summary is for general information only, is not tax advice, and is not intended to constitute a complete description of all tax consequences relating to the Reverse Stock Split.

Unless otherwise specifically indicated herein, this summary addresses the tax consequences only to a beneficial owner of our common stock that is a U.S. holder. For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our common stock, that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

·an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States or someone treated as a U.S. citizen or resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
·a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, or any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
·an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
·a trust if (1) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our common stock and the partners therein should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of the Reverse Stock Split.

The discussion below only addresses stockholders who hold our common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally property held for investment). It does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income tax that may be relevant to a stockholder in light of such stockholder’s particular circumstances or to a stockholder subject to special rules, such as brokers or dealers in securities or foreign currencies, stockholders that are not U.S. holders, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, traders in securities who mark to market, banks, financial institutions or insurance companies, mutual funds, stockholders holding their stock through individual retirement or other tax-deferred accounts, tax-exempt organizations, stockholders holding their stock as “qualified small business stock” pursuant to Section 1202 of the Code or as Section 1244 stock for purposes of the Code, stockholders who acquired their stock in connection with the exercise of warrants, stock options or stock purchase plans or other employee plans or compensatory arrangements, stockholders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or persons holding our common stock through such entities), stockholders who hold their stock as part of an integrated investment (including a “straddle,” a pledge against currency risk, a hedge or other “constructive” sale or “conversion” transaction) comprised of shares of our common stock and one or more other positions, or stockholders who may have acquired their stock in a transaction subject to the gain rollover provisions of Section 1045 of the Code. In addition, this summary does not address any tax consequences other than certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split, including the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split under state, local or non-U.S. tax laws, or under estate, gift, excise or other non-income tax laws, any alternative minimum tax, the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income, the special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, the tax consequences of transactions effectuated prior or subsequent to, or concurrently with, the Reverse Stock Split (whether or not any such transactions are consummated in connection with the Reverse Stock Split) including, without limitation, the tax consequences to holders of options, warrants or similar rights to acquire our common stock.

The information in this proxy statement regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split is not binding with the IRS or the courts. We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, any tax opinion from counsel or ruling from the IRS with respect to any of the statements made in this summary. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a position contrary to these statements or that a contrary position taken by the IRS would not be sustained by a court. Accordingly, each stockholder should consult with such stockholder’s own tax advisor with respect to all of the potential tax consequences to such stockholder of the Reverse Stock Split.

PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

The Reverse Stock Split should be treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the receipt of common stock in the Reverse Stock Split, except for a stockholder receiving an additional share of common stock in lieu of a fractional share (as described below). Subject to the following discussion regarding a U.S. holder’s receipt of a whole share of the Company’s common stock in lieu of a fractional share, ta U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the post-split shares received should equal the aggregate tax basis of the pre-split shares exchanged therefor, and the holding period of the post-split shares received should include the holding period of the pre-split shares exchanged. Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code provide detailed rules for allocating the tax basis and holding period of the shares of the Company’s common stock surrendered to the shares of the Company’s common stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split. U.S. holders of shares of the Company’s common stock acquired on different dates and at different prices should consult their own tax advisors regarding the allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such shares. A stockholder who receives one whole share of common stock in lieu of a fractional share may recognize income or gain in an amount not to exceed the excess of the fair market value of such share over the fair market value of the fractional share to which the stockholder was otherwise entitled. The Company is not making any representation as to whether the receipt of one whole share in lieu of a fractional share will result in income or gain to any stockholder, and stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the possible tax consequences of receiving a whole share in lieu of a fractional share in a Reverse Stock Split.

No gain or loss will be recognized by us as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

The preceding discussion is intended only as a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to U.S. holders. It is not a complete analysis or discussion of all potential tax effects that may be important to a particular holder. All holders of our common stock should consult their own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to them, including record retention and tax-reporting requirements, and the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws.

Stockholder Vote Required

The approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of the shares cast at the Special Meeting entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK.
