InvestorNewsBreaks – Pressure BioSciences Inc. (PBIO) Largest Investor Exchanges $10M-Plus Debt into Non-Secured Equity

Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables, and specialty process development and production services to the worldwide nutraceuticals, cosmetics, biotherapeutics and food/beverage industries, announced that its largest shareholder has exchanged more than $10 million of senior secured debt into unsecured preferred stock. According to the announcement, the investor exchanged the debt at 38% above-market price in a strong expression of confidence and support for the company. The converted debt is convertible promissory notes, accrued and unpaid interest on all promissory notes issued to the investor since November 2019, plus accrued and unpaid dividends on the company’s Series AA convertible preferred stock purchased by the investor since May 2018. The announcement noted that the $10-plus million of debt represents more than 50% of the total debt currently owed to the Investor by the company and more than 30% of the company’s total outstanding debt held by all investors. “The PBIO team is delighted with the strong recent progress in multiple aspects of our business,” said Pressure BioSciences president and CEO Richard T. Schumacher in the press release. “We are redesigning our production facilities, adding to our team, strengthening our core capabilities, filing additional UltraShear patents, building instrument inventories, and expanding our list of existing and prospective 2023 customers. . . . It has been a long time since I’ve seen and felt such excitement, enthusiasm and confidence in the future of PBIO within our shareholder base. We believe this announced conversion of debt into equity is only the beginning of continued strengthening in our financial position and outlook.”

About Pressure BioSciences Inc.

Pressure BioSciences is a leader in the development and sale of innovative, broadly enabling, pressure-based solutions for the worldwide life sciences and other industries. PBIO’s products are based on the unique properties of both constant (i.e., static) and alternating (i.e., pressure cycling technology, or “PCT”) hydrostatic pressure. PCT is a patented-enabling technology platform that uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels to safely and reproducibly control biomolecular interactions (e.g., cell lysis, biomolecule extraction). The company’s primary focus is the development of PCT-based products for biomarker and target discovery, drug design and development, biotherapeutics characterization and quality control, soil and plant biology, forensics and counter-bioterror applications. Additionally, major new market opportunities have emerged in the use of PBIO’s pressure-based technologies in the following areas: (1) the use of its recently acquired, patented technology from BaroFold Inc. (the “BaroFold” technology) to allow entry into the biopharma contract services sector, and (2) the use of its recently patented, scalable, high-efficiency, pressure-based Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”) platform to (i) create stable nanoemulsions of otherwise immiscible fluids (e.g., oils and water) and to (ii) prepare higher quality, homogenized, extended shelf-life or room-temperature, stable, low-acid liquid foods that cannot be effectively preserved using existing nonthermal technologies.
