PolarityTE Announces Equity Purchase Agreement for up to $25 Million with Keystone Capital Partners

PolarityTE, Inc. (Nasdaq: PTE), a biotechnology company developing and commercializing regenerative tissue products and biomaterials, today announced that it has entered into a $25.0 million equity purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Keystone Capital Partners, LLC ("Keystone"), a New York-based institutional investor.

Under the Agreement, PolarityTE has the right over a period of 36-months to sell to Keystone from time to time up to $25.0 million of its stock. PolarityTE controls the timing and amount of the sales subject to the terms of the Agreement. The purchase price in each purchase transaction will be based on the prevailing market price at the time of purchase.

"This agreement with Keystone provides PolarityTE with additional access to capital to support operations, while our control of the timing and amount of sales under the Agreement allows us to manage the dilutive impact," commented David Seaburg, President of PolarityTE. "We believe this agreement puts us in a strong financial position as we continue to advance the commercialization of SkinTE."

Keystone has agreed not to engage in any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of PolarityTE's shares of common stock. There are no rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Agreement. As consideration for Keystone's commitment to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to the Agreement, PolarityTE will pay Keystone an administrative fee of $250,000 on the date of the Purchase Agreement and $50,000 every six months following the date of the initial purchase notice during the term of the Agreement. The Agreement and the related Registration Rights Agreement are summarized in PolarityTE's Current Report on Form 8-K filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of shares to Keystone under the Agreement as disclosed in any prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the time of sale.

In addition to the Agreement, PolarityTE also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Keystone under which PolarityTE has agreed to register the sale of the shares of common stock that are issued to Keystone under the Agreement pursuant to the existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-229584) or a new registration statement.

The information contained in this press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the shares of our common stock discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
