Item
1.01 Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement
As
previously reported by Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (“PBI”) on a Current Report on
Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 16, 2004,
PBI
transferred certain assets and liabilities of its PBI Source
Scientific, Inc. (formerly known as BBI Source Scientific, Inc.) (“SSI”)
subsidiary to a newly formed and wholly owned limited liability company known
as
Source Scientific, LLC (“SS LLC”). PBI subsequently sold 70% of its ownership
interests in SS LLC to Richard W. Henson and Bruce A. Sargeant pursuant to
the terms of a LLC Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated June 2, 2004,
by and among SSI, Mr. Henson and Mr. Sargeant (the “Purchase Agreement”). Under
the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Mr. Henson and Mr. Sargeant executed
promissory notes to PBI in the aggregate principal amount of $900,000 (the
“Notes”) payable on May 31, 2007 and bearing interest at a rate of 8% per year.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, PBI granted Mr. Henson and
Mr. Sargeant an option to purchase PBI’s remaining 30% ownership interest
in SS LLC on or before May 31, 2007 at an exercise price consisting of an
escalating premium (10-50%) over PBI’s initial ownership value, provided Mr.
Henson and Mr. Sargeant first repaid in full all outstanding principal and
interest on the Notes (the “Option”).
On
May
29, 2007, PBI and SSI entered into a Consent Agreement with Mr. Henson, Mr.
Sargeant, SS LLC and BIT Analytical Instruments, Inc. (the “Consent Agreement”)
pursuant to which the Notes were repaid in full in the aggregate amount of
$1,201,534 and Mr. Henson and Mr. Sargeant exercised their Option (through
BIT
Analytical Instruments, Inc.) to purchase PBI’s remaining 30% ownership interest
in SS LLC for an aggregate exercise price of $578,573. As a result of these
transactions, PBI no longer retains any direct or indirect ownership interest
in
SS LLC.
PBI
announced the transactions contemplated by the Consent Agreement by press
release dated May 31, 2007.
