treatment platform based on Nano-Pulse Electro-Signaling, today provides a financial and corporate strategy update.
“We are very encouraged by the progress we have made in a short period of time,” said Darrin Uecker, president and CEO
of Pulse Biosciences. “We have expanded our management team, secured the financing to move our technology and therapies
forward, progressed the development of our PulseTx system, and made significant progress towards entering the first clinical study
with this system.”
Recent Developments
Key milestones achieved by the company in recent months include:
- Completion of the Company’s Initial Public Offering: On June 21, Pulse Biosciences completed
its IPO, issuing an aggregate of 5,749,846 shares of its common stock at a price of $4.00 per share.
- Expansion of Executive Team: The addition of two new members of the executive team – Holly
Hartman as vice president of business development and corporate strategy and Ed Ebbers as vice president and general manager of
dermatology – furthers the organization’s strategic direction and upcoming entry into the clinic.

of a PulseTx system appropriate for use in clinical trials.
Financial Highlights
As of June 30, 2016, Pulse Bioscience’s balance sheet reflects the added strength afforded by the first closing of the IPO
offering in May 2016 and the subsequent closing of the underwriters over allotment in June. Pulse raised $20.4 million net of
underwriter’s expenses and offering costs resulting in cash and investments of $20.7 million at June 30, 2016, compared to $3.6
million at December 31, 2015. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the net decrease in cash and investments of $3.3
million reflected ongoing investment in the development of the PulseTx system, ongoing pre-clinical research activities and
administrative costs reflecting the growth of the business and preparing for and becoming a public company.

About Pulse Biosciences
Pulse Biosciences is a medical technology company developing a therapeutic tissue treatment platform based on Nano-Pulse
Electro-Signaling, a proprietary bioelectronics cell signaling technology. Published pre-clinical studies have shown that a single,
brief exposure of Nano-Pulse Electro-Signaling to target tissue initiates a cascade of events within cells and in the surrounding
microenvironment that results in apoptosis (cell death) and the priming of a durable adaptive immune response. Pulse
Biosciences is pursuing a variety of applications for its technology that exploits the technology’s unique biologic effect in
immuno-oncology, dermatology, aesthetics, and veterinary medicine. Clinical studies are being planned using the first commercial
system designed to support a broad array of electrodes for use in superficial, minimally-invasive and open surgical procedures.
