Before any holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred converts any such shares into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares to be converted, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Corporation and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office of the election to convert such shares into shares of Common Stock. The notice shall state the number of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred to be converted and the name in which the certificate(s) for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled. Any conversion shall be deemed to occur immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date and shall no longer be entitled to any dividends paid or accrued thereafter on the Series A-1 Preferred. To the extent permitted by law, when shares of Series A-1 Preferred are converted, all dividends accrued and unpaid on the shares of Series A-1 Preferred so converted on the date of conversion shall be immediately due and payable and must accompany the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion.</FONT></TD></TR>

by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
including service with respect to employee benefit plans (hereinafter an &ldquo;indemnitee&rdquo;), whether the basis of such

such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys&rsquo;

conferred in this Section 1 of this Article V shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation
the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an &ldquo;advancement
of expenses&rdquo;); and provided, further, that, if the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware requires it, an advancement
of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which
service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made

hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses), it shall be a defense
that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the indemnitee has not met such standards. Neither the

by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not
met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Terms of the merger include the initial closing on a $1.2 million

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&ldquo;Completion of our merger marks an exciting new chapter
in the history of our companies. Precipio and Transgenomic&rsquo;s teams have already accomplished a great deal in our shared drive
to ensure that the new Precipio is primed for growth. We look forward to sharing more details on
our plans and milestones in the coming weeks,&rdquo; Mr. Danieli concluded.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Over the course of the past few
months, in anticipation of the contemplated merger, both companies have undertaken a rigorous cost-cutting project to reduce
the combined company&rsquo;s historical burn rate. Post-merger, management anticipates the new organization will be a leaner,
more capital-efficient organization. These efficiencies are expected to reduce the combined entity&rsquo;s operating expenses
by approximately $1 million or more per quarter, an anticipated annualized reduction of expenses of about $4-$5 million
compared to 2016. The majority of the cost reductions that will be achieved immediately post-closing and are related to
reduction in administrative headcount and the consolidation of lab operations and facilities, with a focus on eliminating
redundancies and realizing efficiencies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Transgenomic&rsquo;s Omaha CLIA-certified laboratory operations
will move to Precipio&rsquo;s New Haven location, thereby reducing the substantial costs associated with operating two fully-certified
CLIA laboratories, including but not limited to reductions in staff, equipment and the total amount of leased space. In addition,
Transgenomic recently completed a move from its existing 30,000 square foot facility in Omaha to a nearby smaller 5,000 square
foot facility, reducing facility costs by more than 75%. The new location is well-suited to serve as the company&rsquo;s R&amp;D
center.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">To accelerate commercial activities Precipio recently added
a number of new salespeople to its sales team, and anticipates adding more by year end. The combined sales team has been cross-trained
on both Precipio&rsquo;s pathology services and Transgenomic&rsquo;s ICE COLD-PCR (ICP) technology to enable immediate cross-selling
opportunities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The company also intends to invest in further development of
its ICP technology to define specific clinical applications, as well as simplifying the adaptability and implementation of ICP
technology for its customers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Paul Kinnon, President and CEO of Transgenomic, said, &ldquo;We
believe that this merger with Precipio is an excellent strategic fit for Transgenomic that provides the opportunity to realize
the clinical and commercial potential of our ICE COLD-PCR technology for DNA liquid biopsies, within the merged company&rsquo;s
broad focus on precision medicine. We are pleased to move forward as a combined entity to bring transformative solutions in medical
diagnostics to physician and patients alike.&rdquo;</P>
