  <h2>Cerenome Launches as an Integrated CNS Oncology Company</h2>

  <p><strong>HOUSTON, July 31, 2026</strong> (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plus Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PSTV"><strong>PSTV</strong></a>) (the "Company"), today announces that its corporate rebrand to Cerenome will be completed as scheduled. Effective <strong>August 3, 2026</strong>, the Company’s name will become <strong>Cerenome, Inc.</strong> The Company&apos;s common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol "<strong>CNSY</strong>," effective market open on the same day.</p>

  <p>The new name reflects the Company&apos;s de facto evolution from a therapeutics-focused organization into an integrated CNS oncology company. The Company has expanded beyond targeted radiotherapeutics because effective solutions for CNS cancer will require a multimodal approach. <strong>Cerenome</strong> will integrate precision diagnostics, targeted therapeutics, and proprietary data within a single organization to improve how CNS cancers are detected, treated, and understood.</p>

  <p>“<em>Fifty years of medical research has taught us that CNS cancers are not an isolated set of localized cancers but a systems problem requiring a comprehensive and unified approach to solving them,</em>” said Marc H. Hedrick, M.D., <strong>Cerenome</strong> President and Chief Executive Officer. “<em>This journey began in earnest a couple of years ago with the acquisition of our diagnostic platform and our more recent native artificial intelligence partnership. We are already seeing the fruits of the integration of diagnostics, therapeutics, and advanced data analytics. We are excited about our future and look forward to explaining the opportunity in greater detail to stockholders and ultimately delivering improved outcomes for patients.</em>”</p>

  <p><strong>Cerenome</strong>'s strategy is built on three integrated and mutually reinforcing platforms:</p>

  <ul>
    <li><strong>The Company’s CNSide</strong><sup>®</sup> Diagnostic is a commercially available and reimbursed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-based platform supporting the cellular and multiomic characterization of cerebrospinal fluid for the diagnosis and management of patients with or at risk for CNS cancers</li>
    <li><strong>REYOBIQ</strong><sup>™</sup> (rhenium Re186 obisbemeda) is <strong>Cerenome</strong>’s lead investigational targeted radiotherapeutic being evaluated in clinical trials for leptomeningeal metastases, recurrent glioblastoma, and pediatric brain cancer, designed to deliver targeted radiation directly to CNS tumors while limiting systemic exposure</li>
    <li>The Company’s data analytics and artificial intelligence platform is a proprietary and multifaceted initiative designed to integrate diverse data sets into actionable insights that support precision oncology, therapeutic development, and clinical decision-making</li>
  </ul>

  <p>For patients, this integrated approach has the potential to enable earlier detection, more informed treatment decisions, disease monitoring and ultimately better outcomes. For healthcare providers, Cerenome can offer a more comprehensive systems view of the disease from diagnostic interrogation to longitudinal patient management. For academic and biopharmaceutical partners, the platform creates opportunities for research, clinical development, and collaboration. For investors, the integration of commercial diagnostics, clinical-stage therapeutics, and proprietary longitudinal data establishes a highly differentiated business case anchored by its lead assets CNSide, Reyobiq and recent artificial partnership with Ephemeral Technologies.</p>

  <p>“<em>The new name Cerenome combines ‘Cere,’ representing the brain and central nervous system, with ‘nome,’ reflecting the expansive knowledge sets that power precision oncology,</em>” Dr. Hedrick added. “<em>However, our mission of improving survival in CNS cancers has not changed. We remain committed to commercializing innovative products for patients with CNS cancers while building a platform designed for long term value creation.</em>”</p>

  <p>The Company&apos;s existing <strong>CNSide</strong><sup>®</sup> and <strong>REYOBIQ</strong><sup>®</sup> brands will remain unchanged.</p>

  <section aria-label="Nasdaq trading information">
    <h3><strong>Nasdaq Trading Information</strong></h3>
