Statement on Form S-1, as amended most recently on June 16, 2017,
with regard to the Offering.

Agreement), whereby the private investor agreed to convert 75
shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the BG Preferred Stock) of
the Company owned by him into common stock of the Company. to the

to purchase 9,945 shares of the Companys common stock with an
exercise price of $8.40 substantially in the form of the warrants
to be included in the Offering except such warrants will be

Capital Market (NASDAQ). As an inducement to enter into the BG

receive 3,750 restricted shares of common stock upon the closing
of the Offering. The private investor has entered into a lock-up

Debenture Holders) holding convertible debentures (collectively

an exercise price equal to the lower of $12.00 or the exercise
price per share of the warrants sold in the Offering. As a result
of the foregoing, the Company will issue at least 124,989
Debenture and Fall 2016 Conversion Shares for principal and
interest through March 31, 2017 to the Debenture and Fall 2016

Companys Series D, Series G, Series J, Series K, Series H1, and

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. is focused on solving the problems inherent in biological sample preparation. The Company has developed and patented a technology platform that can control the sample preparation process. This process, called pressure cycling technology (PCT), uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels, such as approximately 35,000 pounds per square inch (psi) or greater to control the actions of molecules in biological samples, such as cells and tissues from human, animal, plant and microbial sources. Its laboratory instrument, the Barocycler, and its consumables product line, which include its Pressure Used to Lyse Samples for Extraction (PULSE) tubes, and other processing tubes, and application specific kits, such as consumable products and reagents, together make up its PCT Sample Preparation System (PCT SPS). The Company is also the distributor for the Constant Systems cell disruption equipment, parts, and consumables.
