Acquisition of All Assets of BaroFold, Inc.

 

On December 12, 2017, Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (the “Company”) and BaroFold, Inc. (“BaroFold”) signed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) for the Company to acquire all of BaroFold’s assets. The acquisition closed on December 12th with the Company’s issuance of one hundred fifty thousand (150,000) restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to BaroFold and with the transfer of all of BaroFold’s assets to the Company. Following the closing, the Company is to pay, by December 29, 2017, $150,000 as part of the purchase price of the assets. Among the assets acquired were all patents, equipment, and intellectual property relating to BaroFold’s PreEMT high-pressure protein refolding technology.

 

The foregoing description of the terms of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the document attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The issuance of the securities described in Item 1.01 was completed in accordance with the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company’s reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in issuing the securities was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction by us which did not involve a public offering; (b) there was only one recipient; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by the Company; (d) the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; and (e) the negotiations for the issuance of the securities took place directly between BaroFold and the Company.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On December 13, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the acquisition of all of BaroFold’s assets.
