Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBI, commented: "Our development of UltraShear over the past 6 years presented a pivotal, game-changing nanoemulsions technology that we believe will restate the basis of competition for a myriad of products across multiple major industries. We have assembled a strong and differentiated IP position and unique engineering and scientific expertise to unleash this opportunity, for PBI and for clients worldwide. We made the critical decision in early 2022 to pivot our business focus and resources almost entirely onto accelerating the UltraShear platform, building commercial-stage UST processing equipment, creating pivotal technology demonstrations with select partners in multiple industries, and accelerating our path to commercial traction and a revenue growth inflection."

Mr. Schumacher concluded: "Our team has navigated a very challenging path to the achievement of this pivot point, and we are proud of what we have built. The stage has been set. Initial partners have been secured and our first commercial UltraShear product has been delivered and paid. Astonishing early demonstrations of UltraShear's unique differentiation of products continue to mount up, and more partners and early marketing results are gathering already for revenue acceleration in Q1 and throughout all of 2023. We are grateful daily for the patient support of our many long-term investors, and we are excited to have them at our side as PBI enters an exciting new era of revenue growth, profitability, and a planned uplist to a national exchange in 2023."

About Pressure BioSciences, Inc.

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB:PBIO) is a leader in the development and sale of innovative, broadly enabling, pressure-based solutions for the worldwide life sciences and other industries. Our products are based on the unique properties of both constant (i.e., static) and alternating (i.e., pressure cycling technology, or PCT) hydrostatic pressure. PCT is a patented enabling technology platform that uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels to control bio-molecular interactions safely and reproducibly (e.g., cell lysis, biomolecule extraction). Our primary focus is in the development of PCT-based products for biomarker and target discovery, drug design and development, biotherapeutics characterization and quality control, soil & plant biology, forensics, and counter-bioterror applications. Additionally, major new market opportunities have emerged in the use of our pressure-based technologies in the following areas: (1) the use of our recently acquired, patented technology from BaroFold, Inc. (the "BaroFold" technology) to allow entry into the bio-pharma contract services sector, and (2) the use of our recently-patented, scalable, high-efficiency, pressure-based Ultra Shear Technology ("UST") platform to (i) create stable nanoemulsions of otherwise immiscible fluids (e.g., oils and water) and to (ii) prepare higher quality, homogenized, extended shelf-life or room temperature stable low-acid liquid foods that cannot be effectively preserved using existing non-thermal technologies.
