Questions and Answers about the Special Meeting and Voting

| 1. | Why am I receiving these materials?

The Company sent you this Proxy Statement and enclosed proxy card because the Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Special Meeting. The Company intends to mail this Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy card on or about November 24, 2018 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

| 2. | What is the purpose of the Special Meeting?

At the Special Meeting, the stockholders will act upon the matters outlined in the Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders.

| 3. | Who can vote at the Special Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on November 9, 2018 (the “Record Date”). Each stockholder will be entitled to cast one vote on the proposal presented at the Special Meeting for each share of Common Stock that such holder owned as of the Record Date.

| 4. | What are my voting rights?

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. As of November 7, 2018, a total of 30,171,697 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. There is no cumulative voting.

| 5. | How do I cast my vote?

If you are a stockholder of record on the Record Date, you may vote in person at the Special Meeting or authorize a proxy for the Special Meeting. You can authorize your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope, or, if you prefer, by following the instructions on your proxy card for telephonic or Internet proxy authorization. If the telephone or Internet option is available to you, the Company strongly encourages you to use it because it is faster and less costly. Registered stockholders can transmit their voting instructions by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903 or on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com. Telephone and Internet voting are available 24 hours a day until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the day immediately prior to the Special Meeting. Have your proxy card with you if you are going to authorize your proxy by telephone or through the Internet. To authorize your proxy by mail, please complete, sign, date and mail your proxy card in the envelope provided. If you attend the Special Meeting in person, you may request a ballot when you arrive.

| 6. | How do I change my vote?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Special Meeting. You can revoke a proxy (i) by giving written revocation to the Company’s secretary, (ii) delivering an executed, later-dated proxy or (iii) voting in person at the Special Meeting. However, your attendance at the Special Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at the meeting or specifically request in writing that your proxy be revoked. If your Common Stock is held in street name and you wish to change or revoke your voting instructions, you should contact your financial institution for information on how to do so.

| 7. | You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on each of the proposals.

If you submit your proxy but abstain from voting on one or more matters, your shares will be counted as present at the meeting for the purpose of determining if a quorum exists. If you abstain from voting on a proposal, your abstention will have the effect of a vote against that proposal.

Broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted either because (i) the broker did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner, or (ii) the broker lacked discretionary

TABLE OF CONTENTS

authority to vote the shares. Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but are not treated as votes cast and, therefore, will have the effect of a vote against proposals requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock and no effect on proposals requiring the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. If your broker holds your shares in its name and you do not instruct your broker how to vote, your broker will only have discretion to vote your shares on “routine” matters. Where a proposal is not “routine,” a broker who has not received instructions from its clients does not have discretion to vote its clients’ uninstructed shares on that proposal. At our Special Meeting, only Proposals No. One regarding the increase in authorized shares is considered routine matter. Absent direction from you, your broker will therefore not have discretion to vote on Proposals No. Two, Three, Four, Five and Six. Accordingly, we encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker, whether or not you plan to attend the meeting. This ensures your shares will be voted at the Special Meeting and in the manner you desire.

| 8. | Where and when will I be able to find the results of the voting?

Preliminary results will be announced at the Special Meeting. The Company will publish the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than four business days after the date of the Special Meeting.

| 9. | Where is the Special Meeting being held?

We will hold the Special Meeting at the Company’s principal executive offices, 4 Science Park, New Haven, CT 06511, on December 20, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. (local time), unless postponed or adjourned to a later date.

PROPOSAL ONE

TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO OUR THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE COMPANY’S AUTHORIZED SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK TO 250,000,000 SHARES

On November 8, 2018, our Board of Directors unanimously approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized under the Charter for issuance by 100,000,000 shares of common stock, bringing the total number of shares of common stock authorized to 250,000,000 shares. The text of the proposed amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached hereto as Annex A. This proposal to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance, if approved, will become effective and the Company’s number of shares of authorized common stock will be increased to 250,000,000 shares upon the filing of the certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Charter Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Reasons for the Increase

The Board believes that it is desirable to have additional authorized shares of common stock available for possible future financings, equity compensation, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The Board believes that having such additional authorized shares of common stock available for issuance under the Charter will give the Company increased flexibility and would allow such shares to be issued without the expense and delay of a special stockholders’ meeting unless such approval is expressly required by applicable law. There are certain advantages and disadvantages of an increase in authorized common stock.

The advantages include:

| • | The ability to raise capital by issuing capital stock under the type of transactions described above, or other financing transactions.

| • | To have shares of common stock available to pursue certain business combinations or other expansion opportunities, if any.

The disadvantages include:

| • | The issuance of authorized but unissued stock could be used to deter a potential takeover of the Company that may otherwise be beneficial to stockholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a stockholder that will vote in accordance with the Board’s desires. A takeover may be beneficial to independent stockholders because, among other reasons, a potential suitor may offer such stockholders a premium for their shares of stock compared to the then-existing market price. The Company does not have any plans or proposals to adopt provisions or enter into agreements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

| • | None of our stockholders do not have any preemptive or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of common stock that may be issued in the future, and therefore, future issuances of common stock may, depending on the circumstances, have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and other interests of existing stockholders of the Company.

Although an increase in the authorized shares of common stock could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, this proposal to adopt the amendment is not in response to any effort of which the Company is aware to accumulate common stock or obtain control of the Company. Nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar amendments to the Board and stockholders.

If the Company’s stockholders do not approve the increase in authorized shares of common stock, then the Company will not be able to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 150,000,000 to 250,000,000, and therefore, the Company would be limited in its ability to use authorized shares of common stock for financings, acquisitions, issuing equity awards, or other general corporate purposes.

Our directors and executive officers have no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth in this proposed amendment, except to the extent of their ownership in shares of our common stock and securities convertible or exercisable for common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Concurrent Approval of Reverse Stock Split

Concurrently with the approval of the increase in authorized shares of common stock, the Company’s stockholders are also being asked to approve a reverse stock split at a ratio of any whole number between 1-for-2 and 1-for-30, as determined by the Board prior to December 20, 2019, and an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to implement the reverse stock split at any time prior to December 20, 2019, if and as determined by the Board of Directors (see Reverse Split Proposal (Proposal Two below)).

If the Reverse Split Proposal is approved by the Company’s stockholders and a reverse stock split is effectuated, a reverse stock split would reduce, on a proportionate basis for each stockholder, the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding without reducing the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance, whether or not such number remains at 150,000,000 or is increased to 250,000,000 by this proposal.

The current proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 250,000,000 has no bearing on the Board of Directors’ ability to effect a reverse stock split, if concurrently authorized by stockholders pursuant to the Reverse Split Proposal (Proposal Two) below. The Board’s determination as to whether to effect a reverse stock split and, if so, at what ratio, would be based on the same factors reported in the Reverse Split Proposal below.

Vote Required and Board of Directors Recommendation

Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, this proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to this proposal will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum and, if a quorum is present, will have the same practical effect as a vote against this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE YOU VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL ONE

PROPOSAL TWO

PROPOSAL TWO: AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD TO, IN ITS DISCRETION, AMEND OUR THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF OUR COMMON STOCK AT A RATIO OF ONE-FOR-TWO TO ONE-FOR-FIFTEEN, SUCH RATIO TO BE DETERMINED BY THE BOARD

On November 8, 2018, the Board unanimously adopted resolutions approving, declaring advisable and recommending to the stockholders for their approval a proposal to authorize the Board, in its discretion, to amend our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio in the range of one-for-two (1:2) or not more than one-for-thirty (1:30), such ratio to be determined by the Board. The form of proposed amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split will be substantially as set forth on Annex B (subject to any changes required by applicable law). Pursuant to the law of Delaware, our state of incorporation, the Board must adopt any amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and submit the amendment to our stockholders for their approval. Approval of this proposal will grant the Board the authority (but not the obligation), without further action by the stockholders, to carry out such action any time prior to December 20, 2019, one year from the date of the Special Meeting, with the exact exchange ratio and timing to be determined at the discretion of the Board. The exchange ratio range of one-for-two (1:2) or not more than one-for-thirty (1:30) is based on the recent trading price of our common stock.

Purpose of the Reverse Stock Split

The Board is submitting the proposed reverse stock split to our stockholders for approval in order to reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares and to increase the per share trading value of our common stock. The Board believes that the proposed reverse stock split is desirable and should be approved by our stockholders for a number of reasons, including, without limitation, the following:

| • | The reverse stock split would help us to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. By potentially increasing the per share trading value of our common stock, the reverse stock split would reduce the risk that our common stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. To maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we must comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, which requirements include a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. As previously reported, on March 26, 2018, we received a letter from Nasdaq that the closing bid price for our common stock had been below $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days, and that we were therefore not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice indicated that we would have 180 calendar days, or until September 24, 2018, to regain compliance with this requirement.

On September 25, 2018, Nasdaq notified us that we are eligible for an extension to comply with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement through March 25, 2019, by which date we must evidence compliance for at least ten consecutive business days unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend this 10-business day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(F). If compliance cannot be demonstrated by March 25, 2019 Nasdaq will provide written notification that our common stock will be delisted. In the event of such a notification, we may appeal Nasdaq’s determination, but there can be no assurance Nasdaq would grant any such request for continued listing.

| • | If we are successful in maintaining a higher stock price, it may improve the perception of our common stock as an investment security and may generate greater interest among a broader range of institutional and other professional investors and institutions in us, as we have been advised that the current market price of our common stock may affect its acceptability to certain members of the investing public. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential purchasers of our Common Stock. Investment funds may also be reluctant to invest in lower-priced stocks. Investors may also be dissuaded from purchasing lower-priced stocks because the brokerage commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction, tend to be higher for such stocks. Moreover, the analysts at many brokerage firms do not monitor the trading activity or otherwise provide coverage of lower-priced stocks. Giving the Board of Directors the ability to effect a reverse stock split, and thereby increase the price of our Common Stock, would give the Board the ability to address these issues if it is deemed necessary.

6

TABLE OF CONTENTS

| • | The Board of believes that the increased market price of the common stock which may potentially be the result of implementing the reverse stock split could improve the marketability of our common stock, which could allow us to raise additional capital and in turn permit us to satisfy the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement imposed by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

| • | The reverse stock split could decrease price volatility for our common stock, as small price movements currently may cause relatively large percentage changes in our stock price.

| • | The reverse stock split may help increase analyst and broker interest in our stock as their policies can discourage them from following or recommending companies with lower stock prices. Because of the trading volatility often associated with lower-priced stocks, many brokerage houses and institutional investors have adopted internal policies and practices that either prohibit or discourage them from investing in such stocks or recommending them to their customers.

| • | A higher market price per share for our common stock may help us attract and retain employees because some potential employees are less likely to work for a company with a low stock price, especially one below $1.00 per share, regardless of our market capitalization.

| • | The availability of additional shares of common stock would provide us with the flexibility to consider and respond to future business opportunities and needs as they arise, including equity offerings and other issuances, mergers, business combinations or other strategic transactions, asset acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and other corporate purposes.

Accordingly, for these reasons, we believe that effecting the reverse stock split is in our and our stockholders’ best interests.

Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock through the reverse stock split is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of our common stock. A number of the anticipated benefits of the proposed reverse stock split discussed above are contingent upon the split resulting in an increase in the per share market price of our common stock. However, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split, if completed, would result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of our common stock will increase following the reverse stock split or that the market price of our common stock will not decrease in the future. Additionally, we cannot assure you that the market price per share of our common stock after a reverse stock split will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding before the reverse stock split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock after the reverse stock split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the reverse stock split.

Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

The reverse stock split may not increase the price of the common stock.

Although the Board expects that a reverse stock split will result in an increase in the price of our common stock, the effect of a reverse stock split cannot be predicted with certainty. Other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business, may adversely affect the stock price. As a result, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split, if completed, will result in any of the intended benefits described above, that the stock price will increase as a result of or following the reverse stock split (or will increase in the same proportion as the final reverse stock split ratio) or that the stock price will not decrease in the future.

Moreover, a decline in the market price of the common stock after the reverse stock split may result in a greater percentage decline than would occur in the absence of the reverse stock split. The market price of the common stock is based on our performance and other factors, which are unrelated to the number of shares of common stock outstanding.

If the reverse stock split is implemented, the resulting per-share price may not attract institutional investors, investment funds or brokers and may not satisfy the investing guidelines of these investors or brokers, and consequently, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.

While we believe that a higher share price may help generate investor and broker interest in the common stock, the reverse stock split may not result in a share price that will attract institutional investors or investment

funds or satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors, investment funds or brokers. For example, some investors, analysts and other stock market participants have a negative perception of reverse stock splits due to: (1) the fact that the stock price of some companies that have effected reverse stock splits has subsequently declined in share price and corresponding market capitalization, (2) the potential that the reduction in shares outstanding could have adversely impact the liquidity of our common stock; and (3) the costs associated with implementing a reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split may leave certain stockholders with “odd lots.”

The reverse stock split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of fewer than 100 shares of the common stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

Board Discretion to Implement the Reverse Stock Split

The Board believes that stockholder approval of a range of reverse stock split ratios (rather than a single exchange ratio) is in the best interests of our stockholders because it provides the Board with the flexibility to achieve the desired results of the reverse stock split and because it is not possible to predict market conditions at the time the reverse stock split would be implemented. If stockholders approve this proposal, the Board would have the authority, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion and without any further action on the part of the stockholders, to carry out a reverse stock split only upon the Board’s determination that a reverse stock split would be in the best interests of our stockholders at that time. The reverse stock split, if implemented, would be effected at a time that the Board determines to be most advantageous to us and to our stockholders. The Board would then set the ratio for the reverse stock split within the range approved by stockholders and in an amount it determines is advisable and in the best interests of the stockholders considering relevant market conditions at the time the reverse stock split is to be implemented. In determining the ratio, following receipt of stockholder approval, the Board may consider, among other things:

| • | the historical prices and trading volume of our common stock;

| • | the then-prevailing trading price and trading volume of our common stock and the anticipated impact of the reverse stock split on the trading market for our common stock;

| • | the aggregate market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates;

| • | the outlook for the trading price of our common stock;

| • | threshold prices of brokerage houses or institutional investors that could impact their ability to invest or recommend investments in our common stock;

| • | our stockholders’ equity at such time; and

| • | prevailing general market and economic conditions.

Although approval of this proposal would provide the Board with the authority to carry out a reverse stock split, the Board is not obligated to do so. If the Board determines to effect the reverse stock split, it intends to select a reverse stock split ratio that it believes would be most likely to achieve the anticipated benefits of the reverse stock split described above. Notwithstanding approval of the reverse stock split by our stockholders, the Board may, in its sole discretion, abandon the proposal and determine, prior to the effectiveness of any filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, not to effect the reverse stock split. If the Board fails to implement the reverse stock split on or prior to the first anniversary date of the Special Meeting, stockholder approval again would be required prior to implementing any reverse stock split.

Our directors and executive officers have no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth in this proposed amendment, except to the extent of their ownership in shares of our common stock and securities convertible or exercisable for common stock.

Procedures for Effecting the Reverse Stock Split and Filing Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to Effect the Reverse Stock Split

If our stockholders approve the reverse stock split, the Board will have discretion as to whether or not to effect the reverse stock split at any time prior to December 20, 2019, the first anniversary date of the Special

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Meeting. If implemented by the Board, the reverse stock split would become effective upon the filing of the amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The actual timing of any such filing will be made by the Board at such time as the Board believes to be most advantageous to us and our stockholders.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

Effect on Existing Common Stock

If the reverse stock split is implemented, the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from 30,171,697 shares to between approximately 1,005,723 shares and 15,085,848 shares, depending on which exchange ratio is ultimately effected and when the reverse stock split is effected. As described below under “Mechanics of the Reverse Stock Split-Fractional Shares,” cash will be paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares. Subject to the treatment of fractional shares, (1) the change in the number of shares of common stock outstanding that will result from the reverse stock split will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership in the Company, and (2) the relative voting and other rights that accompany the shares of common stock will not be affected by the reverse stock split.

Although the reverse stock split will not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders (other than de minimis adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares), if the Reverse Split Proposal is approved by the Company’s stockholders and a reverse stock split is effectuated, a reverse stock split would reduce, on a proportionate basis for each stockholder, the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding without reducing the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance, whether or not such number remains at 150,000,000 or is increased to 250,000,000 by Proposal One above. As a result, additional authorized shares of common stock will be available for issuance at such times and for such purposes as the Board may deem advisable without further action by our stockholders, except as required by applicable laws and regulations. Any such future issuance of common stock could, depending on the circumstances, be used to deter a potential takeover or have a further dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and other interests of existing stockholders.

At the present time, the Company does not have any plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock that would become available as a result of the effectiveness of the amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock. However, it is highly likely that we will issue additional shares in the future. Please see “Potential Anti-Takeover Effects” below for more information.

After the reverse stock split, we will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Assuming we are otherwise able to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PRPO,” although the exchange will add the letter “D” to the end of the trading symbol for a period of 20 trading days after the effective time to indicate that a reverse stock split has occurred. Following the reverse stock split, our common stock will have a new CUSIP number.

Upon the filing of the certificate of amendment, and without any further action on the part of the Company or our stockholder, the issued shares of Common Stock held by stockholder of record as of the effective date of the reverse stock split would be converted into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock calculated in accordance with the reverse stock split ratio of not less than one-for-two (1:2) or not more than one-for-fifteen (1:15), as selected by our Board and set forth in the certificate of amendment.

For example, if a shareholder presently holds 100 shares of our Common Stock, he or she would hold 50 shares of Common Stock following a one-for-two (1:2) reverse stock split, or 3 shares of Common Stock following a one-for-thirty (1:30) reverse stock split, in each with adjustments for fractional shares as set out under Fractional Shares below. Beginning on the effective date of the split, each certificate representing pre-split shares would be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-split shares. As soon as practicable after the effective date of the reverse stock split, stockholders would be notified that the reverse stock split had been effected.

Effect on Existing Preferred Stock

The total authorized shares of Preferred Stock is 15,000,000. As of November 7, 2018, 47 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were outstanding. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is currently convertible into 3,333.33

9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

shares of common stock and we have reserved 156,667 shares of common stock for issuance upon the conversion of our outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, if we combine our outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares, as contemplated by the reverse stock split, the conversion rate of the Series B Preferred Stock will be proportionately adjusted. Accordingly, upon effectiveness of the reverse stock split, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock will be decreased in accordance with the exchange ratio selected by the Board and we will proportionately decrease the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. However, the total number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and the actual number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will remain unchanged upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split. Other than as described in this paragraph, all of the rights, preferences and other privileges of our Preferred Stock will remain unchanged following the reverse stock split.

Effect on Equity Compensation Plans and Outstanding Common Stock Warrants

The proposed reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan in proportion to the exchange ratio selected by the Board if the reverse stock split is effected.

Under the terms of our outstanding equity compensation awards and common stock warrants, a reverse stock split would cause a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of such equity awards and common stock warrants in proportion to the exchange ratio selected by the Board, and would cause a proportionate increase in the exercise price of such equity awards and common stock warrants such that the aggregate exercise price payable by the optionee, holder of stock appreciation rights or warrantholder, as applicable, would remain the same. In each case, any fractional share subject to an option or stock appreciation rights resulting from an adjustment pursuant to the foregoing will generally be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and the exercise price per share will generally be rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Fractional shares subject to warrants resulting from an adjustment pursuant to the foregoing will generally be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and the exercise price per share will be rounded to the nearest whole cent.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effects

Since the reverse stock split will result in increased available shares of common stock, it may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect. Although neither the Board nor management views this proposal as an anti-takeover measure, and the Board has no current plans to utilize the additional authorized shares to entrench present management, we could use the increased available shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders. For example, we could privately place shares with purchasers who might side with the Board in opposing a hostile takeover bid or issue shares to a holder which would, thereafter, have sufficient voting power to assure that any proposal to amend or repeal our Amended and Restated Bylaws or certain provisions of the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation would not receive the requisite vote.

There are no provisions in our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws or other material agreements to which we are a party that would, in our management’s judgment, have an anti-takeover effect; however, our Amended and Restated Bylaws contain certain advance notification requirements for nominations of persons for election to the Board and proposals by stockholders at annual and special meetings of stockholders.

11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Board is not aware of any pending takeover or other transactions that would result in a change in control of the Company, and the proposal was not adopted to thwart any such efforts.

Accounting Matters

If the reverse stock split is implemented, the par value per share of our common stock will remain unchanged at $0.01 per share after the reverse stock split. As a result of the reverse stock split, at the effective time of the reverse stock split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to the common stock, which consists of the par value per share of the common stock multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of the common stock issued and outstanding, will be reduced in proportion to the reverse stock split ratio. Correspondingly, our additional paid-in capital account, which consists of the difference between our stated capital and the aggregate amount paid to us upon issuance of all currently outstanding shares of common stock, will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Our stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, will remain unchanged. In addition, the per share net income or loss of our common stock, for all periods, will be restated because there will be fewer outstanding shares of common stock.

No Going Private Transaction

Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares following the reverse stock split, this transaction is not intended to be the first step in a “going private transaction,” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act, and will not produce, either directly or indirectly, any of the effects described in paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

Effective Date

If the reverse stock split is implemented, we will file a Certificate of Amendment of our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The reverse stock split will become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment. No further action on the part of stockholders would be required to either effect or abandon the reverse stock split. If the Board does not implement the reverse stock split on or prior to December 20, 2019, the one-year anniversary of the date of the Special Meeting, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the reverse stock split will terminate. The Board reserves its right to elect not to proceed with the reverse stock split, and to abandon the reverse stock split in its entirety, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that this proposal is no longer in the best interests of our stockholders.

Mechanics of the Reverse Stock Split

Exchange of Stock Certificates

If the reverse stock split is implemented, each certificate representing pre-reverse split shares will, until surrendered and exchanged as described below, for all corporate purposes, be deemed to represent, respectively, only the number of post-reverse stock split shares.

Shortly after the reverse stock split becomes effective, stockholders will be notified and offered the opportunity at their own expense to surrender their current certificates to our transfer agent in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by us or our transfer agent in exchange for the issuance of new certificates reflecting the reverse stock split. In connection with the reverse stock split, the CUSIP number for the common stock will change from its current CUSIP number. This new CUSIP number will appear on any new stock certificates issued representing post-reverse stock split shares.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Effect on Registered “Book-entry” Holders of Common Stock

Holders of common stock may hold some or all of their common stock electronically in book-entry form (“street name”). These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares of common stock registered in their accounts. If the reverse stock split is implemented and you hold registered common stock in book-entry form, you do not need to take any action to receive your post-reverse stock split shares or cash payment in lieu of any fractional

12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

share interest, if applicable. If you are entitled to post-reverse stock split shares, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to your address of record indicating the number of shares you hold. If you are entitled to a payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, a check will be mailed to you at your registered address as soon as practicable after our transfer agent completes the aggregation and sale described below in “Fractional Shares.”

Effect on Registered Certificated Common Stockholders

Some of our stockholders hold their shares of common stock in certificate form or a combination of certificate and book-entry form. If the reverse stock split is implemented and any of your shares are held in certificate form, you will receive a transmittal letter from us or our transfer agent as soon as practicable after the effective date of the reverse stock split. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how to surrender your certificate(s) representing your pre-reverse common stock split shares to the transfer agent. Upon receipt of your pre-reverse stock split certificate(s), you will be issued the appropriate number of shares electronically in book-entry form, and if you are entitled to a payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, payment will be made as described below under “Fractional Shares.” No new shares in book-entry form will be issued and no payment in lieu of any fractional share interest will be made to you until you surrender your outstanding pre-reverse stock split certificate(s), together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to our transfer agent. At any time after receipt of your book-entry statement, you may request a stock certificate representing your ownership interest.

Fractional Shares

If the reverse stock split is implemented, no fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, stockholders who would otherwise hold fractional shares because the number of shares of common stock they hold before the reverse stock split is not evenly divisible by the split ratio ultimately selected by the Board will receive cash (without interest) in lieu of such fractional shares in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the closing price of our shares of common stock on the day immediately preceding the effective date of the reverse split, as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market (or, if the closing price of our common stock is not then reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market, then the fair market value of our shares of common stock as determined by the Board) by (ii) the number of shares of our common stock held by such stockholder that would otherwise have been exchanged for such fractional share interest. Stockholders who own their shares in certificated form will receive such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares following the surrender of their pre-reverse split certificate(s) for post-reverse stock split shares. The ownership of a fractional share interest will not give the holder any voting, dividend or other rights, except to receive the above-described cash payment.

Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights

Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, our stockholders are not entitled to any dissenters’ or appraisal rights with respect to the reverse stock split, and we will not independently provide stockholders with any such right.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following summary describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split to holders of our common stock.

Unless otherwise specifically indicated herein, this summary addresses the U.S. federal income tax consequences only to a beneficial owner of our common stock that is: (i) a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S. or of a political subdivision thereof (including the District of Columbia), (iii) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation, regardless of its source, or (iv) any trust if: (a) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person (each, a “U.S. Holder”). This summary does not address any state, local, foreign, or other tax consequences, nor does it address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular stockholder in light of their circumstances, including tax consequences arising to stockholders subject to special rules, such as persons who acquired shares of our common stock pursuant to

13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, certain financial institutions, tax-exempt entities, regulated investment companies, insurance companies, partnerships or other pass-through entities, U.S. expatriates, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting, individual retirement accounts or tax-deferred accounts, dealers in securities, commodities or currencies, persons holding shares in connection with a hedging transaction, “straddle,” conversion transaction or a synthetic security or other integrated transaction, stockholders whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar, and persons that do not hold our common stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment).

This summary is based on current law, including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions, existing and proposed Treasury Regulations, and interpretations of the foregoing, all as in effect as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and any such change may result in U.S. federal income tax consequences to a stockholder that are materially different from those described below. In addition, we have not sought, and will not seek, an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split, and there can be no assurance the IRS will not challenge the statements and conclusions set forth in this discussion or that a court would not sustain any such challenge.

Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split Generally

The reverse stock split is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the reverse stock split (except with respect to any cash received in lieu of a fractional share as described below). The aggregate tax basis of the post-reverse split shares received will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the pre-reverse split shares exchanged therefore (excluding any portion of the holder’s basis allocated to fractional share interests), and the holding period(s) of the post-reverse split shares received will include the U.S. Holder’s holding period(s) for the pre-reverse split shares exchanged. The Company will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the reverse stock split.

Cash Received Instead of a Fractional Share

A U.S. Holder who receives cash for fractional shares should generally recognize gain or loss, as the case may be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the portion of the tax basis of the pre-reverse split shares allocated to the fractional share interest. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will generally be long-term capital gain or loss to the extent such U.S. Holder’s holding period exceeds 12 months. The deductibility of capital losses may be subject to certain limitations.

Backup Withholding

A non-corporate U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding at a 28% rate on cash payments received pursuant to the reverse stock split unless such U.S. Holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number to its broker or to the Company and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, any amount withheld under these rules will be creditable against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL THREE

PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES IN CONNECTION WITH A PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH LINCOLN PARK CAPITAL FUND LLC

General

On September 7, 2018, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), pursuant to which we have the right to sell to LPC and LPC has committed to purchase from us, from time to time for a period of 24 months, up to $10,000,000 of our common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement which is attached hereto as Annex C. As consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue 600,000 commitment shares to LPC as a commitment fee (the “Commitment Shares”).

We do not have the right to commence any sales to LPC under the Purchase Agreement until each of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, all of which are outside of LPC’s control, have been satisfied, including the Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC. Thereafter, under the Purchase Agreement, on any business day selected by us on which the closing price of our common stock is not less than $0.10 per share (subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the Purchase Agreement), we may direct LPC to purchase up to 450,000 shares of our common stock on such business day (each, a “Regular Purchase”), provided, however, that (i) the Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 500,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price of our common stock is not below $0.50 on the purchase date (subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the Purchase Agreement) and (ii) the Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 550,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price of our common stock is not below $0.75 on the purchase date (subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the Purchase Agreement). In each case, LPC’s maximum commitment in any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $1,000,000. LPC has no right to require the Company to sell any shares of common stock to LPC, but LPC is obligated to make purchases as we direct, subject to certain conditions. The purchase price per share for each such Regular Purchase will be based off of prevailing market prices of our common stock immediately preceding the time of sale without any fixed discount.

In addition to Regular Purchases described above, we may also direct LPC, on any business day on which we have properly submitted a Regular Purchase notice directing LPC to purchase the maximum number of shares of our common stock that we are then permitted to include in a single Regular Purchase notice and the closing sale price of our common stock on such business day is not below $0.25 per share (subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the Purchase Agreement), to purchase an additional amount of our common stock, which we refer to as an Accelerated Purchase, not to exceed the lesser of: (i) 25% of the aggregate shares of our common stock traded during all or, if certain trading volume or market price thresholds specified in the Purchase Agreement are crossed on the applicable Accelerated Purchase date, which is defined as the next business day following the purchase date for the corresponding Regular Purchase, the portion of the normal trading hours on the applicable Accelerated Purchase date prior to such time that any one of such thresholds is crossed; and (ii) 3 times the number of purchase shares purchased pursuant to the corresponding Regular Purchase.

Under certain circumstances and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Company may direct LPC to purchase shares in multiple Accelerated Purchases on the same trading day, provided that (i) the closing price of our common stock on the business day immediately preceding such business day is not less than $0.25 per share (subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the Purchase Agreement) and (ii) all prior Accelerated Purchases (including those that have occurred earlier on the same day) have been completed and all of the shares to be purchased thereunder (and under the corresponding Regular Purchase) have been properly delivered to LPC in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The price per share in each Accelerated Purchase will be based on the market prices of the Company’s common stock at the time of such Accelerated Purchase calculated as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other than as described above, there are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to LPC.

There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement other than a prohibition on entering into a “Variable Rate Transaction,” as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

Under applicable rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market, in no event may we issue or sell to LPC under the Purchase Agreement more than 19.99% of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement (which was 4,628,859 shares based on 23,155,872 shares outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement) (the “Exchange Cap”), unless (i) we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of our common stock to LPC under the Purchase Agreement equal or exceed $0.4728 (which represents the closing consolidated bid price of our common stock on September 7, 2018, plus an incremental amount to account for our issuance of the Commitment Shares to LPC), such that issuances and sales of our common stock to LPC under the Purchase Agreement would be exempt from the Exchange Cap limitation under applicable NASDAQ rules.

The Purchase Agreement also prohibits us from directing LPC to purchase any shares of common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by LPC and its affiliates, would result in LPC and its affiliates having beneficial ownership, at any single point in time, of more than 4.99% of the then total outstanding shares of our common stock, as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.

The net proceeds under the Purchase Agreement to us will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell shares of common stock to LPC. We expect that any proceeds received by us from such sales to LPC will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Why the Company Needs Stockholder Approval

As a result of our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, issuances of our common stock are subject to the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, including Rule 5635(d), which requires us to obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by us of shares of our common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of our common stock) at a price less than the greater of book or market value if such issuance would represent 20% or more of our common stock or voting power of the Corporation outstanding before the issuance (the “Nasdaq 20% Rule”). In order to comply with the Nasdaq 20% Rule and to satisfy conditions under the Purchase Agreement, we are seeking stockholder approval to permit issuance of more than 20% of our common stock.

Because the total number of shares issued by us to date in connection with the Purchase Agreement has not exceeded 19.99%, we were not required to seek stockholder approval for those sales. However, future use of the Purchase Agreement may result in the issuance by us of more than 19.99% of our outstanding common stock, which requires stockholder approval under the Nasdaq 20% Rule. Accordingly, we are seeking approval from our stockholders of the proposed issuances of shares under the Purchase Agreement.

Effect of Failure to Obtain Stockholder Approval

If the stockholders do not approve Proposal Three, the Company will be unable to issue more than 19.99% of our outstanding common stock of common stock to LPC.

Effect of Approval

If the stockholders approve Proposal Three, 33,848,927 shares of common stock would be available for issuance under the Purchase Agreement and we want to be able to utilize the Purchase Agreement to raise capital quickly. The issuance of such shares could result in significant dilution to our stockholders, and could substantially reduce our stockholders’ percentage interest in the voting power of the Company.

PROPOSAL FOUR

STOCKHOLDERS APPROVAL IN CONNECTION WITH CONVERTIBLE DEBT TRANSACTION

As disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on April 23, 2018 and amended on April 26, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with certain investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company may issue up to approximately $3,296,703.30 in Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes with 100% common stock warrant coverage (the “Transaction”). The Transaction consists of unregistered Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”), bearing interest at a rate of 8.00% annually and an original issue discount of 9%. As part of the Transaction, the Investors also received warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company (the “Warrants”) that provided the Investors with the right to purchase 100% coverage shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable at a 150% premium to the conversion price on the initial closing date. 50% of such Warrants have a 5-year term and 50% have a one-year term.

The conversion terms of the Notes as were that any time after the original issue date of the Notes until the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Notes are convertible at a price of $0.50 per share, provided that if the Notes are not repaid within 180 days from the original issue date of the Notes, the conversion price will be adjusted to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price during the prior 10 days, subject to a minimum conversion price of $0.30 per share. The Notes are repayable by the Company on the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary after the initial closing date or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering, namely the Company raising gross proceeds of at least $7,000,000 (the “Maturity Date”). The initial closing provided the Company with $1,660,000 of gross proceeds for the issuance of Notes with an aggregate principal of $1,824,176. On July 6, 2018, the stockholders of the Company approved for purposes of complying with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, the potential issuance of more than 20% of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Transaction. Following such approval, additional closings provided the Company with $1,340,000 for Notes with an aggregate principal of $1,374,426.

In order to continue the growth of the Company’s sales force and business development team and to enable the progression of the Company’s product development and working capital, and to enable the Investors to convert the Notes and to keep capital in the Company by not repaying the Notes, the Board, on November 26, 2018, approved the amendment and restatement of the Agreement to allow for the issuance of up to $2,000,000 of additional Notes together with applicable Warrants. The Notes and Warrants shall have substantially the same terms and conditions of the exiting transaction documents, subject to certain amendments to their terms, which the Board deemed desirable and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. The amendments include, among other things, the amendment of the definition of “Floor Price” in the Notes so that the conversion price shall be adjusted to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price during the prior 10 days, subject to a minimum conversion price of $0.15 per share and all warrants to be granted in connection with the Notes to have a 5-year term only. The additional notes and warrants are offered to the Investors that previously participated in the Convertible Debt Transaction and additional investors as approved by the Board.

Why We Are Seeking Your Approval

We are seeking your approval of the Convertible Debt Transaction in order to approve the potential issuance of additional shares of the Company due to the adjustment in the minimum conversion price the lower floor price. As a result of the adjustment, additional common stock of the Company may be issued upon conversion and the issuance of such additional stock (in addition to the prior approval) will represent in excess of 20% of the Company’s common stock. The adjustment in the minimum conversion price will also enable the Investors to convert the debt instead of the Company repaying its debt under the Notes. The potential amendment of the Agreement to allow for new investment will provide the Company with additional capital, which combined with the conversion of the Company’s debt under the Notes, will enable the Company to continue the growth of the sales force and expand its business development team and to enable the progression of the Company’s product development and working capital.

Required Vote

A quorum being present, the approval of the issuance of securities in connection with the Transaction requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon as of the Record Date. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote AGAINST the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the proposal.

STOCKHOLDERS APPROVAL PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES TO CERTAIN CREDITORS OF AND/OR HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY IN EXCHANGE FOR CANCELLATION OF INDEBTEDNESS

The Company is seeking approval by its stockholders of the potential issuance of shares of its Common Stock in excess of 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding to certain of the Company’s creditors and/or holders of claims against the Company in exchange for cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to such creditors and/or claim holders (the “Settlement Issuances”).

On March 12, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Crede Capital Group LLC pursuant to which Precipio agreed to pay to Crede Capital Group LLC a total sum of $1.925 million over a period of 16 months payable in a combination of cash and/or stock in accordance with terms contained in the Agreement.

Why We Are Seeking Your Approval

NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a transaction (or a series of related transactions) other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price less than the greater of book or market value which equals 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance (the “20% Threshold”).

We are seeking your approval of the Settlement Issuances in order to enable us to conserve cash and direct our resources towards growth and improve our ability to meet our debt obligations and pay our liabilities in a manner that may be less dilutive than raising capital on the open market and to ensure our compliance with NASDAQ’s Listing Rules. Until we obtain stockholder approval of the Settlement Issuances, we will not be able to issue shares of Common Stock to creditors and/or claim holders in excess of the 20% Threshold, we may be unable to meet our debt obligations and pay our liabilities, and we may have to restrict or cease our operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL SIX

STOCKHOLDERS APPROVAL PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES IN CONNECTION WITH CERTAIN OFFERING

As stated above, our common stock is subject to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (“Rule 5635(d)”) which requires us to obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of our common stock in connection with an offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance of, by the Company, of common stock (and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock outstanding before the issuance. Shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of warrants, options, debt instruments or other equity securities issued or granted in such an offering will be considered shares issued in such a transaction in determining whether the 20% limit has been reached.

In the next several months, the Company will seek to raise additional capital to implement our business strategy and enhance our overall capitalization. Nonetheless, we have yet to determine the particular terms for such an offering. However, because we may seek additional capital that triggers the requirements of the Rule 5635(d), we are seeking stockholder approval now of a financing transaction, as described more fully in the following paragraph, so that we will be able to move quickly to take full advantage of opportunities that may develop in the equity markets.

Among the opportunities that may arise for capital raise is a private or registered direct offering of gross proceeds of up to a maximum of $8,000,000 which at the current market price could result in the potential issuance of up to 27,000,000 shares of common stock (or other securities convertible into or exercisable for 27,000,000 shares of common stock) but which may be adjusted to reflect up to a maximum 35% effective discount to the market price of the Company’s underlying common stock at the time of issuance, in each case subject to adjustments for stock splits and reverse stock splits (the “Potential Offering”). The Company expects to have a sufficient number of authorized shares for issuance in connection with the Potential Offering. The Potential Offering may have such other terms as the Board of Directors of the Company shall deem to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, not inconsistent with the foregoing. The Company has not yet identified the investors or arrived at any specific terms or conditions for the Potential Offering and is not able to identify any potential new controlling stockholder that may result from the Potential Offering. Although there will be no initial effect on the holdings of current stockholders from prior approval of the Potential Offering, the issuance of shares of our common stock, or other securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of our common stock, in accordance with any offering, including the Potential Offering, would dilute, and thereby reduce, each existing stockholder’s proportionate ownership in our common stock. Under the Company’s current certificate of incorporation and bylaws, stockholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional shares that may be issued by the Company in order to maintain their proportionate ownership of the common stock.

The issuance of additional shares of common stock in any offering, including the Potential Offering, could also have an effect on stockholders’ voting power. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(b) (“Rule 5635(b)”) requires us to obtain stockholder approval prior to an issuance with respect to shares of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, which could result in a subsequent change of control of the issuer. Generally, NASDAQ interpretations provide that the acquisition of 20% of the shares of an issuer by one person may be considered a change of control of such issuer. Accordingly, in the event that the issuance of additional shares of common stock in the Potential Offering triggers the requirements of Rule 5635(b), we are seeking stockholder approval now so we are able to consummate the transaction on a timely basis.

The Board of Directors has not yet determined the terms and conditions of any offering including the Potential Offering. As a result, the level of potential dilution cannot be determined at this time. It is possible that if we conduct a stock offering, some of the shares we sell could be purchased by one or more investors who could acquire a large block of our common stock. This could concentrate voting power in the hands of a few stockholders who could exercise greater influence on our operations or the outcome of matters put to a vote of stockholders in the future.

We cannot determine what the actual net proceeds of the Potential Offering will be until it is completed. If all or part of the Potential Offering is completed, we anticipate that the net proceeds will be used to continue funding general corporate purposes, including research and development activities, capital expenditures and working capital. We currently have no arrangements or understandings regarding any specific transaction with investors, so we cannot predict whether we will be successful should we seek to raise capital through the

Potential Offering. In the event that we do seek to raise additional capital through the Potential Offering, we are seeking stockholder approval now so we are able to consummate the transaction on a timely basis. We do not plan to seek any additional approval of the Company’s stockholders with respect to the Potential Offering.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING

We are asking you to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt any of Proposals One through Six at the time of the Special Meeting. If the Company’s stockholders approve this proposal, we can adjourn the Special Meeting and any adjourned session of the Special Meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including soliciting proxies from the Company’s stockholders that have previously returned properly signed proxies voting against any of Proposals One through Six. Among other things, approval of the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt any of Proposals One through Six at the time of the Special Meeting could mean that, even if we received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes against the adoption of these proposals such that they would be defeated, we could adjourn the Special Meeting without a vote on the adoption of these proposals and seek to convince the holders of those shares to change their votes to votes in favor of the adoption of any of any of Proposals One through Six. Additionally, we may seek to adjourn the Special Meeting if a quorum is not present, and the chairperson of the Special Meeting may also adjourn the Special Meeting for such purpose even if the Company’s stockholders have not approved the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting.

The vote on this proposal is a vote separate and apart from the vote on Proposals One through Six. Accordingly, you may vote in favor of any of those proposals and vote not to approve this Proposal Seven and vice versa.

Required Vote

Approval of this proposal, whether or not a quorum is present, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, and shares not in attendance will have no effect on the approval of this proposal.

Stockholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock (present in person or represented by proxy) will constitute a quorum. We will appoint election inspectors for the meeting to determine whether or not a quorum is present and to tabulate votes cast by proxy or in person at the Special Meeting. Abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes (which occur when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular matter because such broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote on that matter and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner) are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting.

If your shares are held in street name, the voting instruction form sent to you by your broker, bank or other nominee should indicate whether the institution has a process for beneficial holders to provide voting instructions over the Internet or by telephone. A number of banks and brokerage firms participate in a program that also permits stockholders whose shares are held in street name to direct their vote over the Internet or by telephone. If your bank or brokerage firm gives you this opportunity, the voting instructions from the bank or brokerage firm that accompany this Proxy Statement will tell you how to use the Internet or telephone to direct the vote of shares held in your account. If your voting instruction form does not include Internet or telephone information, please complete and return the voting instruction form in the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided by your broker. Stockholders who vote by proxy over the Internet or by telephone need not return a proxy card or voting instruction form by mail, but may incur costs, such as usage charges, from telephone companies or Internet service providers.

Revocability of Proxies

Any proxy may be revoked at any time before it is exercised by filing an instrument revoking it with the Company’s secretary or by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date prior to the time of the Special Meeting. Stockholders who have voted by proxy over the Internet or by telephone or have executed and returned a proxy and who then attend the Special Meeting and desire to vote in person are requested to notify the Company’s secretary in writing prior to the time of the Special Meeting.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This solicitation is made on behalf of the Board of Directors. We will bear the costs of preparing, mailing, online processing and other costs of the proxy solicitation made by the Board of Directors. Certain of our officers and employees may solicit the submission of proxies authorizing the voting of shares in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. Such solicitations may be made by telephone, facsimile transmission or personal solicitation. No additional compensation will be paid to such officers, directors or regular employees for such services. We will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in sending proxy material to stockholders.

OTHER MATTERS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Householding of Proxy Materials

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC known as “householding.” This procedure allows multiple stockholders residing at the same address the convenience of receiving a single copy of our Notice, Annual Report and proxy materials, as applicable. This allows us to save money by reducing the number of documents we must print and mail, and helps protect the environment as well.

Householding is available to both registered stockholders (i.e., those stockholders with certificates registered in their name) and street name holders (i.e., those stockholders who hold their shares through a brokerage).

Upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 8 hereof (the “Commencement” and the date of satisfaction of such conditions the “Commencement Date”) and thereafter, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its delivery to the Investor of a Regular Purchase Notice from time to time, to purchase up to Four Hundred Fifty Thousand (450,000) Purchase Shares, subject to adjustment as set forth below in this Section 2(a) (such maximum number of Purchase Shares, as may be adjusted from time to time, the “Regular Purchase Share Limit”), at the Purchase Price on the Purchase Date (each such purchase a “Regular Purchase”); provided, however, that (i) the Regular Purchase Share Limit shall be increased to Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) Purchase Shares, if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the applicable Purchase Date is not below $0.50, and (ii) the Regular Purchase Share Limit shall be increased to Five Hundred Fifty Thousand (550,000) Purchase Shares, if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the applicable Purchase Date is not below $0.75 (all of which share and dollar amounts shall be appropriately proportionately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction; provided that if, after giving effect to the full proportionate adjustment to the Regular Purchase Share Limit therefor, the Fully Adjusted Regular Purchase Share Limit then in effect would preclude the Company from delivering to the Investor a Regular Purchase Notice hereunder for a Purchase Amount (calculated by multiplying (X) the number of Purchase Shares equal to the Fully Adjusted Regular Purchase Share Limit, by (Y) the Purchase Price per Purchase Share covered by such Regular Purchase Notice on the applicable Purchase Date therefor) equal to or greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Regular Purchase Share Limit for such Regular Purchase Notice shall not be fully adjusted to equal the applicable Fully Adjusted Regular Purchase Share Limit, but rather the Regular Purchase Share Limit for such Regular Purchase Notice shall be adjusted to equal the applicable Alternate Adjusted Regular Purchase Share Limit as of the applicable Purchase Date for such Regular Purchase Notice); and provided, further, however, that the Investor’s committed obligation under any single Regular Purchase, other than any Regular Purchase with respect to which an Alternate Adjusted Regular Purchase Share Limit shall apply, shall not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). If the Company delivers any Regular Purchase Notice for a Purchase Amount in excess of the limitations contained in the immediately preceding sentence, such Regular Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the number of Purchase Shares set forth in such Regular Purchase Notice exceeds the number of Purchase Shares which the Company is permitted to include in such Purchase Notice in accordance herewith, and the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase such excess Purchase Shares in respect of such Regular Purchase Notice; provided, however, that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the number of Purchase Shares which the Company is permitted to include in such Regular Purchase Notice. The Company may deliver a Regular Purchase Notice to the Investor as often as every Business Day, so long as the Company has not failed to deliver Purchase Shares for the most recent prior Regular Purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not deliver a Regular Purchase Notice to the Investor (i) on any Purchase Date that the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock is less than the Floor Price or (ii) during the PEA Period.

If the Company delivers any Accelerated Purchase Notice directing the Investor to purchase an amount of Purchase Shares that exceeds the Accelerated Purchase Share Amount that the Company is then permitted to include in such Accelerated Purchase Notice, such Accelerated Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the number of Purchase Shares set forth in such Accelerated Purchase Notice exceeds the Accelerated Purchase Share Amount that the Company is then permitted to include in such Accelerated Purchase Notice (which shall be confirmed in an Accelerated Purchase Confirmation), and the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase such excess Purchase Shares in respect of such Accelerated Purchase Notice; provided, however, that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the Accelerated Purchase Share Amount which the Company is permitted to include in such Accelerated Purchase Notice. Within one (1) Business Day after completion of each Accelerated Purchase Date for an Accelerated Purchase, the Investor will provide to the Company a written confirmation of such Accelerated Purchase setting forth the applicable Accelerated Purchase Share Amount and Accelerated Purchase Price for such Accelerated Purchase (each, an “Accelerated Purchase Confirmation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not deliver any Accelerated Purchase Notices during the PEA Period.

(c) Additional Accelerated Purchases. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from and after the Commencement Date, in addition to purchases of Purchase Shares as described in Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) above, the Company shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its timely delivery to the Investor of an Additional Accelerated Purchase Notice on an Additional Accelerated Purchase Date in accordance with this Agreement, to purchase the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase Share Amount at the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase Price therefor in accordance with this Agreement (each such purchase, an “Additional Accelerated Purchase”). The Company may deliver multiple Additional Accelerated Purchase Notices to the Investor on an Additional Accelerated Purchase Date; provided, however, that the Company may deliver an Additional Accelerated Purchase Notice to the Investor only (i) on a Business Day that is also the Accelerated Purchase Date for an Accelerated Purchase with respect to which the Company properly submitted to the Investor an Accelerated Purchase Notice in accordance with this Agreement on the applicable Purchase Date for a Regular Purchase of a number of Purchase Shares not less than the Regular Purchase Share Limit then in effect in accordance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, giving effect to any automatic increase to the Regular Purchase Share Limit as a result of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock exceeding certain thresholds set forth in Section 2(a) above on such Purchase Date and any other adjustments to the Regular Purchase Share Limit, in each case pursuant to Section 2(a) above), (ii) if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day on which such Additional Accelerated Purchase Notice is delivered is not less than the Additional Accelerated Purchase Floor Price, and (iii) if all Purchase Shares subject to all prior Regular Purchases, Accelerated Purchases and Additional Accelerated Purchases, including, without limitation, those that have been effected on the same Business Day as the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase Date with respect to which the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase relates, in each case have theretofore been received by the Investor as DWAC Shares in accordance with this Agreement. If the Company delivers any Additional Accelerated Purchase Notice directing the Investor to purchase an amount of Purchase Shares that exceeds the Additional Accelerated Purchase Share Amount that the Company is then permitted to include in such Additional Accelerated Purchase Notice, such Additional Accelerated Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the number of Purchase Shares set forth in such Additional Accelerated Purchase Notice exceeds the Additional Accelerated Purchase Share Amount that the Company is then permitted to include in such Additional Accelerated Purchase Notice (which shall be confirmed in an Additional Accelerated Purchase Confirmation), and the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase such excess Purchase Shares in respect of such Additional Accelerated Purchase Notice; provided, however, that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the Additional Accelerated Purchase Share Amount which the Company is permitted to include in such Additional

C-7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Accelerated Purchase Notice. Within one (1) Business Day after completion of each Additional Accelerated Purchase Date, the Investor will provide to the Company a written confirmation of each Additional Accelerated Purchase on such Additional Accelerated Purchase Date setting forth the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase Share Amount and Additional Accelerated Purchase Price for each such Additional Accelerated Purchase on such Additional Accelerated Purchase Date (each, an “Additional Accelerated Purchase Confirmation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not deliver any Additional Accelerated Purchase Notices during the PEA Period.

(d) Payment for Purchase Shares. For each Regular Purchase, the Investor shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Amount with respect to such Regular Purchase as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds on the same Business Day that the Investor receives such Purchase Shares, if such Purchase Shares are received by the Investor before 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, or, if such Purchase Shares are received by the Investor after 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, the next Business Day. For each Accelerated Purchase and each Additional Accelerated Purchase, the Investor shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Amount with respect to such Accelerated Purchase and Additional Accelerated Purchase, respectively, as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds on the second Business Day following the date that the Investor receives such Purchase Shares. If the Company or the Transfer Agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to electronically transfer any Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares in respect of a Regular Purchase, an Accelerated Purchase or an Additional Accelerated Purchase (as applicable) within two (2) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of the Purchase Price, Accelerated Purchase Price and Additional Accelerated Purchase Price, respectively, therefor in compliance with this Section 2(d), and if on or after such Business Day the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such Purchase Shares that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company in respect of such Regular Purchase, Accelerated Purchase or Additional Accelerated Purchase (as applicable), then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Investor’s request, either (i) pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Cover Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Investor such Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares and pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cover Price over the total Purchase Amount paid by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement for all of the Purchase Shares to be purchased by the Investor in connection with such Regular Purchase, Accelerated Purchase and Additional Accelerated Purchase (as applicable). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any Regular Purchase, Accelerated Purchase or Additional Accelerated Purchase. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share. All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement is due on any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

(e) Compliance with Rules of Principal Market.

(i) Exchange Cap. Subject to Section 2(e)(ii) below, the Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to this Agreement would exceed the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (taking into account all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market) without (1) breaching the Company’s obligations under the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market or (2) obtaining stockholder approval under the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (which maximum number of shares is 4,628,858, representing 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of this Agreement) (the “Exchange Cap”), unless and until the Company elects to solicit stockholder approval of the issuance of Common Stock as contemplated by this Agreement and the stockholders of the Company have in fact approved the issuance of Common Stock as contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market, and the

(ii) At-Market Transaction. Notwithstanding Section 2(e)(i) above, the Exchange Cap shall not be applicable for any purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, solely to the extent that (and only for so long as) the Average Price shall equal or exceed the Base Price (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Exchange Cap shall be applicable for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby at all other times during the term of this Agreement, unless the stockholder approval referred to in Section 2(e)(i) is obtained).

(iii) General. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement if such issuance would reasonably be expected to result in (A) a violation of the Securities Act or (B) a breach of the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not issue or sell, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire, any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor of more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written or oral request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but not later than 24 hours) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Investor and the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required hereby and the application hereof. The Investor’s written certification to the Company of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error.

Any Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee, except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Indemnitee, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.

The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investor and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(n) Enforcement Costs.

No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one (1) Business Day immediately preceding the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) no provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto and (ii) no provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
