The Offering is comprised of Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) and Common Stock Purchase Warrants, (“Warrants” and together with the Debentures, collectively the “Securities” or the “Units”) of the Company, as well as the terms of the Offering, which are described in the Private Placement Memorandum, dated as of May 11, 2015 (“Memorandum”) are being offered without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or the securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction, in reliance on the exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Under Regulation D of the Act and/or certain state laws, the Company is required to determine that an individual, or an individual together with a “Subscriber representative” or each individual equity owner of an “investing entity” meets certain suitability requirements before selling Securities to such individual or entity. You understand that the Company and the Placement Agent will rely upon the following information to determine whether you meet such suitability requirements. Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Memorandum.

 

THE COMPANY WILL NOT SELL SECURITIES TO ANY SUBSCRIBER WHO HAS NOT FILLED OUT, AS THOROUGHLY AS POSSIBLE, EXECUTED AND DELIVERED THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE (THE “SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT”). IN THE CASE OF A SUBSCRIBER THAT IS A PARTNERSHIP, TRUST, CORPORATION OR OTHER ENTITY, AN AUTHORIZED OFFICER, OR GENERAL PARTNER OR EACH EQUITY OWNER OR BENEFICIARY, AS APPLICABLE, MUST COMPLETE THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. This Subscription Agreement is merely a request for information and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Units. No sale will occur prior to the acceptance of any subscription by the Company and the Placement Agent. The Company and the Placement Agent, reserve the right to reject any subscription for any reason or to accept subscriptions for less than the minimum subscription of $25,000.

 

The principal amount of Debenture to be issued shall reflect original issue discount of 10% of the subscription amount. By way of example, for each $100,000 of Debentures purchased, the Investor shall receive a Debenture in the principal amount of $110,000 (reflecting original issue discount of 10% of the principal amount) and Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 178,571 shares of Common Stock of the Company (based upon a conversion price of $0.28 of the Debentures and the actual cash subscription paid). The Offering is being conducted on an “all or none best efforts” basis as to a minimum amount of gross proceeds of $1,500,000 (“Minimum Offering”) and on a best efforts basis at to a maximum amount of $5,000,000 (“Maximum Offering”) of gross proceeds. The Company and the Placement Agent may increase to maximum amount of gross proceeds by an additional $1,250,000 for an aggregate maximum offering of $6,250,000 of gross proceeds. All subscription proceeds shall be placed and held in a non interest bearing escrow account pending acceptance and closings of the Offering. The Offering commences on the date hereof and the Minimum Offering must be satisfied on or before Friday, August 7, 2015 unless extended for up to 2 additional 30 days periods by the Company and the Placement Agent.

 

The Company and the Placement Agent will promptly return any money without interest thereon or deduction therefrom to a Subscriber whose subscription is rejected in whole or in part as the case may be. Subscribers should also understand that they may be required to furnish additional information to the Company.

The purpose of this Subscription Agreement is to determine whether you meet certain standards, because the Securities will not be registered under the Act and will be sold only to persons who are “Accredited Investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, promulgated under the Act.

 

Your answers to the Subscription Agreement questions will be kept confidential. At all times, however, you hereby agree that the Company may present this Subscription Agreement to such parties as it deems appropriate in order to assure itself that the offer and the sale of the Units to you will not result in violations of federal or state securities laws which are being relied upon by the Company in connection with the offer and sale thereof and as otherwise required by law or any regulatory authority.

 

Please type or clearly print your answers, and state “none” or “not applicable” when appropriate. Please complete Section A and each other section you are requested to complete in Question A3.

SECTION H: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY ALL SUBSCRIBERS

 

By signing this Subscription Agreement, the undersigned hereby confirms the following statements:

 

(a) I have read the Memorandum and this Subscription Agreement and other accompanying documents of the Company, and am aware of and understand the risk factors disclosed therein related to the Company and an investment in the Company.

 

(b) I am aware that the Offering involves Securities for which no market exists, thereby requiring any investment to be maintained for an indefinite period of time. (c) I acknowledge that any delivery to me of the Memorandum relating to the Securities prior to the determination by the Company or the Placement Agent of my suitability as a Subscriber shall not constitute an offer of the Securities until such determination of suitability shall be made, and I agree that I shall promptly return the Memorandum and the other Offering documents to the Company or the Placement Agent upon request.

 

(d) I also understand and agree that, although the Company and the Placement Agent will use their respective best efforts to keep the information provided in answers to this Subscription Agreement strictly confidential, the Company and the Placement Agent or their respective counsel may present this Subscription Agreement and the information provided in answer to it to such parties as they may deem advisable if called upon to establish the availability under any federal or state securities laws of an exemption from registration of the Offering or if the contents thereof are relevant to any issue in any action, suit or proceeding to which the Company, the Placement Agent or their respective affiliates is a party, or by which they are or may be bound or as otherwise required by law or regulatory authority.

 

(e) I realize that this Subscription Agreement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities or any other security of the Company but is merely a request for information.

 

(f) I understand that the Securities are being offered without registration under the Act in reliance upon the private offering exemption contained therein, and that such reliance is based in part on the information herein supplied. For the foregoing reasons and to induce the Company to issue and deliver the Securities to me, I represent and warrant that the information stated herein is true, accurate and complete, and I agree to notify and supply corrective information promptly to the Company as provided above if any of such information becomes inaccurate or incomplete.

 

(g) The individual signing below on behalf of any entity hereby warrants and represents that he/she is authorized to execute this Subscription Agreement on behalf of such entity.

 

(h) The undersigned is able to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Securities and can afford a complete loss of such investment. I understand that the Company is a reporting company under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and files periodic reports with the SEC. The undersigned has reviewed such recent filings by the Company, including, without limitation, its recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2015, which includes a description of the Company, the risks involved with an investment in the Company and its business and operations and financial statements.

 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and on the basis of the representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Subscriber and the Subscriber agrees to purchase from the Company, upon closing of the Offering, the Debentures and Warrants as described in the Memorandum. The Company or the Placement Agent may reject any subscription in whole or in part.

The Placement Agent and its officers, directors and other associated persons may purchase Securities, which purchases shall count towards satisfaction of the Minimum Offering.

 

21

In particular, the Subscriber is aware that the Securities will be “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144, unless the conditions thereof are met.

 

(iii)In the event the Company determines to issue certificates evidencing the Securities, the following legends (or similar language) shall be placed on such certificate(s):

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

(iv)The Company may at any time place a stop transfer order on its transfer books against the Securities. Such stop order will be removed, and further transfer of the Securities will be permitted upon an effective registration of the respective Securities, or the receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such further transfer may be effected pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration.

 

(v)The purchase of the Units involves risks which the Subscriber has evaluated, and the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of such securities and the loss of its entire investment.

 

(l) The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Placement Agent , their respective officers, managers, members, employees, agents, counsel and affiliates and each other person, if any, who controls the Company or the Placement Agent, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation commenced or threatened or any claim whatsoever arising out of or based upon any false representation or warranty or breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Subscriber herein or in any other document furnished by the Subscriber to any of the foregoing in connection with this transaction.

 

(m) The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees, subject to any applicable state securities laws that the subscription and application hereunder are irrevocable, that the Subscriber is not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this Subscription Agreement and that this Subscription Agreement shall survive the death or disability of the Subscriber and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Subscriber and his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and assigns.

22
 

 

(n) The Company and the Placement Agent have each employed its own legal counsel in connection with the Offering. The Subscribers have not been represented by independent counsel in connection with the preparation of the Memorandum or the terms of the Offering and no investigation of the merits or fairness of the Offering has been conducted on behalf of the Subscribers. Prospective Subscribers should consult with their own legal, tax and financial advisors with respect to the Offering made pursuant to the Memorandum.

 

(o) The undersigned hereby acknowledges that officers, managers, members, employees and affiliates of the Company and/or the Placement Agent may purchase Units in the Offering, which purchases may count towards the Minimum Offering Amount.

 

(p) My answers to the foregoing questions are true and complete to the best of my information and belief and I will promptly notify the Company or the Placement Agent of any changes in the information I have provided.

 

(q) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Subscription Agreement or the Memorandum, each prospective investor (and its employees, representatives or other agents) and the Company may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are used in Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) of the undersigned subscribers investment in the Company and any transactions entered into by the Company and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such prospective investor relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that no prospective investor or its employees, representatives or agents shall disclose any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with U.S. securities laws; and provided further that this authorization is not intended to permit disclosure of any term or detail not relevant to the tax treatment or the tax structure of the Company, the Offering or transactions entered into by the parties hereto.

 

The undersigned understands and agrees that this authorization to disclose such tax treatment and tax structure is not intended to permit disclosure of any other information including (without limitation) (i) any portion of any materials to the extent not related to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Company, the Offering or transactions entered into by the undersigned and the Company, (ii) the identities of any investors in the Offering or (iii) any other term or detail not relevant to the tax treatment or the tax structure of the Partnership or transactions entered into by it.

 

The undersigned has been advised by the Company and the Placement Agent that the principal amount of Debentures to be issued shall include original issue discount, and therefore the principal amount shall be greater than the subscription amount paid by the undersigned. The undersigned has been advised to consult its own tax advisors with respect to the effect of such original issue discount.

 

(r) The recipient, by accepting this Subscription Agreement and related Offering documents confirms its understanding that the Offering and its terms may constitute material non public information and agrees (i) not to distribute or reproduce the offering documents, in whole or in part, at any time, without the prior written consent of the Company and the Placement Agent, (ii) to keep confidential the existence of this document and the information contained herein, and (iii) refrain from trading in the publicly-traded securities of the Company for so long as the undersigned is in possession of the material non-public information contained herein.

3. Plan of Distribution.

 

Each Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the securities of Pressure BioSciences, Inc. and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

  ●  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resales by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
     
  privately negotiated transactions;
     
  settlement of short sales;
     
  in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
     
  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  a combination of any such methods of sale; or
     
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

34
 

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling Stockholders.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
