Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO) (“PBI”), a leader in the development and sale of high pressure-based instruments, consumables, and related services for the global life sciences and other industries worldwide, today announced its CEO succession plan in light of its founder Richard T. Schumacher’s notification that he will step down as president and CEO effective September 9, 2019. Schumacher has been working with the company’s directors on leadership succession planning for many months, including the selection of its SVP & Chief Commercial Officer Bradford A. Young, PhD, MBA in November 2018. To facilitate an orderly transition in leadership, the PBIO board has identified Dr. Young as its designee to succeed Schumacher and will be working closely with Dr. Young to effectuate this transition. “PBI was founded on the vision that pressure – especially ultra-high pressure – could be safely used in the life sciences area to significantly accelerate the discovery and development of new drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics, which in turn could lead to better, higher quality, less expensive, and more widely available healthcare” PBIO founder Richard T. Schumacher said in the news release. “My 15 years as CEO has overseen an exciting, successful, and sometimes challenging journey, as is often the case when driving market acceptance of paradigm-shifting technology platforms. I believe we are very close to achieving success around the original vision for PBI, and I am extremely excited over the prospects for our new BaroFold and Ultra Shear Technology businesses. Nonetheless, as I will be seventy years old in August 2020, I have worked closely with the Board to prepare for a strong and orderly transition in leadership as we enter this new growth phase. I am convinced that PBI is now poised for success thanks to the depth and dedication of our senior management and support teams. The addition of Dr. Young to our team has brought highly relevant scientific experience, knowledge, and vision, combined with his business acumen and leadership qualities that I believe will be pivotal in propelling the Company forward for decades to come.”

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 industry. The company’s 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 safely and reproducibly control bio-molecular interactions (e.g., cell lysis, biomolecule extraction). PBIO’s 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 its pressure-based technologies in the following areas: (1) the use of its recently acquired PreEMT technology from BaroFold, Inc. to allow entry into the biologics contract research services sector, and (2) the use of its 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.
