Item 1.01.
| 
        Entry into a Material Definitive | 
  On January 3, 2017, Interpace Diagnostics Group, Inc. (the
  Company) entered into a placement agency agreement (the Placement
  Agreement) with Maxim Group LLC (the Placement Agent) to which
  the Placement Agent agreed to serve as the placement agent, on a
  reasonable best efforts basis, in connection with the registered
  direct public offering of 375,000 shares (the Shares) of the
  Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common
  Stock), at a price of $6.75 per share and prefunded warrants to
  purchase 255,000 shares of Common Stock (the Prefunded Warrants)
  through the Placement Agent (the Registered Direct Offering).
  Also on January 3, 2017, to effect the Registered Direct
  Offering, the Company entered into a securities purchase
  agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement) with certain
  institutional investors (the Purchasers) to which the Company
  agreed to issue and sell the Shares and the Prefunded Warrants
  directly to the Purchasers.
  The Company expects to receive aggregate net proceeds, after
  deducting Placement Agent fees and other estimated expenses
  related to the Registered Direct Offering, in the amount of
  approximately $3.7 million. The Company intends to use the net
  proceeds from this offering for working capital, repayment of
  indebtedness and general corporate purposes.
  The closing of the Registered Direct Offering is expected to take
  place on January 6, 2017, subject to customary closing
  conditions.
  The Shares and Prefunded Warrants are being offered and sold to
  the Companys shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.
  333-207263) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange
  Commission (the Commission) on October 2, 2015 and declared
  effective on October 9, 2015. A prospectus supplement relating to
  the Registered Direct Offering will be filed with the Commission
  on or about January 5, 2017.
  The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary
  representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and
  customary conditions to closing. Under the Securities Purchase
  Agreement, the Company has agreed not to enter into any agreement
  to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any
  Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents until January 27, 2017.
  In addition, the Company has also agreed with the Purchasers that
  following the closing of the offering until January 27, 2017, the
  Company will not effect or enter into an agreement to effect a
  Variable Rate Transaction as defined in the Securities Purchase
  Agreement.
  to the Placement Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the
  Placement Agent an aggregate cash placement fee equal to 8.0% of
  the gross proceeds in the offering. Subject to certain
  conditions, the Company has also agreed to reimburse the
  Placement Agent for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket
  expenses in connection with the offering, including, but not
  limited to, legal fees in an amount not to exceed $30,000.
  The Placement Agreement contains customary representations,
  warranties and agreements by the Company and customary conditions
  to closing. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Placement
  Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
  the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and
  liabilities arising from breaches of representations and
  warranties contained in the Placement Agreement, or to contribute
  to payments that the Placement Agent may be required to make in
  respect of those liabilities.
  The Prefunded Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.01 per
  share, which is subject to adjustment in the event of certain
  stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock
  combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the
  Common Stock and also upon any distributions of assets to the
  Companys stockholders. Each Prefunded Warrant will be exercisable
  upon issuance (the Initial Exercise Date) and willsurvive until
  exercised in full. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of
  Prefunded Warrants will not have the right to exercise any
  portion of its Prefunded Warrants if the holder, together with
  its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at
  the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of
  Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
  exercise (the Beneficial Ownership Limitation); provided,
  however, that upon 61 days prior notice to the Company, the
  holder may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided
  that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed
  9.99%.
  After the Initial Exercise Date, if and only if no effective
  registration statement registering, or no current prospectus is
  available for, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock
  underlying the Prefunded Warrants, the Purchasers may exercise
  the Prefunded Warrants by means of a cashless exercise.
  The foregoing descriptions of the Placement Agreement, the
  Securities Purchase Agreement and the Prefunded Warrants are
  qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the
  Placement Agreement, the Form of Securities Purchase Agreement
  and the Form of Prefunded Warrant, which are attached to this
  Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 4.1,
  respectively, and incorporated herein by reference in their
