Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Company issued to the investors, senior secured convertible debentures with a fixed conversion price of $0.28 per restricted common share, and common stock purchase warrants exercisable into shares of restricted common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The Company is under no obligation to file a registration statement to register the shares underlying the Debentures and Warrants.

Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBI, commented: "With cash from the Offering, we accomplished a number of key goals during the latter half of 2015 and the first three months of 2016.  These include (i) the elimination of all variable-rate debt; (ii) the development of the new Barocycler NEP2320 Extreme, designed specifically for use in mass spectrometry sample preparation, including PCT-SWATH; (iii) the support of new marketing initiatives to potential customers worldwide (which have already begun to show positive results through increased requests for  instrument/consumable information and quotations); (iv) the ability to support multiple scientific collaborators, many of whom are considered Key Opinion Leaders, whose studies readily highlight the advantages of the PCT platform to potential customers worldwide, and (v) the ability to strongly support the recently announced co-marketing agreement with SCIEX, a leader in life sciences analytical technologies worldwide."

Mr. Schumacher continued: "We are very pleased to have not only completed the $5 Million financing, but to have completed it with approximately $1.3 Million in over-subscriptions.  We thank all investors who participated in the Offering for their faith and trust in the PBI Team and in our patented and enabling pressure cycling technology ("PCT") platform."
