Rutherford,
N.J.- July 15, 2019 - Cancer Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CGIX), a leader in enabling precision medicine for immuno-oncology
and genomic medicine through molecular markers and diagnostics, today announced the sale of its BioPharma business. The Company's
junior secured lender, Partners for Growth IV, L.P., ("PFG") conducted a consensual private foreclosure of the assets
relating to the Company's BioPharma business under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and sold them to Interpace Diagnostics
Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDXG). The gross purchase price is $23.5 million in addition to the assumption by IDXG of approximately $5
million of liabilities relating to the BioPharma business, before working capital and closing adjustments.
IDXG
paid PFG $13.8 million in cash at closing. IDXG also issued a promissory note to CGIX in the amount of $7.7 million, subject to
certain post-closing adjustments. The note is due upon the approval by IDXG's shareholders, and subsequent consummation,
of an investment by Ampersand Capital Partners in IDXG, which was simultaneously announced by Interpace in conjunction with this
transaction. In addition, IDXG is assuming approximately $5 million of CGI liabilities related to the Biopharma business. As part
of the Article 9 transaction, PFG has extinguished its junior secured debt and fully retired the Company's senior secured
loan to Silicon Valley Bank. PFG has remitted approximately $2.3 million in cash to CGIX which CGIX intends to use to settle other
liabilities of the Company.
Separately,
on July 8, 2019, the Company consummated the sale of the assets used in its clinical laboratory business to siParadigm, LLC, a
leading specialty reference laboratory with expertise in hematopathology and oncology diagnostics, for an initial payment of approximately
$1 million, plus an earn-out based on future testing volume from certain clinical laboratory customers over the next 12 months.
Following
these transactions, the Company continues to own and operate its Discovery business, which it obtained through the acquisition
of vivoPharm in 2017. vivoPharm offers proprietary preclinical test systems supporting clinical diagnostic offerings at early
stages, valued by the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology companies and academic research centers.
