Pressure BioSciences’ Partner Veterans Service Team Increases Existing Purchase Order by 10X for Bottles of UltraShear Nano-CBD Topical Spray, Effective Immediately

PBIO Acknowledges Rapidly Emerging Demand Potential for UltraShear Nanoemulsions for Transformation of Diverse Major Markets, with Recently Announced Readiness and Scaling Plans

SOUTH EASTON, MA / ACCCESSWIRE / September 22, 2023 / Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB:PBIO) (“PBIO” or “Company”), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables, and specialty process development and testing services to the global nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, food/beverage, biotherapeutics, and other industries, and the Veterans Service Team (“VST”) (www.vst.org), a self-funded, 501(c)3 non-profit company dedicated to the support and wellness of active duty and former members of all branches of the US Military and US Coast Guard, today announced that VST has increased its existing purchase order with PBIO by 10-fold (from 500 to 5,000 bottles), effective immediately.

PBIO’s Ultra Shear Technology^TM (UltraShear^TM or UST^TM) platform allows oil-soluble active molecules like CBD to be prepared into nanoemulsions of vanishingly tiny oil droplets in water that ensure rapid absorption and unparalleled bioavailability of the CBD (or other active ingredients) into the water-based biochemistry of human bodies. The PBIO-VST partnership offers VST membership exclusive access to custom-designed, hemp-derived, UltraShear-processed nanoemulsions of CBD oil in water (“Nano-CBD”), providing unparalleled speed of action and reliable dosage delivery. VST is initially launching their uniquely differentiated UltraShear Nano-CBD Topical Spray, with plans for its sister product, UltraShear Nano-CBD Oral Spray, to quickly follow.

In a June 2023 press release announcing the new, five-year partnership between VST and PBIO, Mr. Howard Zall, COO of VST, explained that a leading-quality CBD product with world class speed and completeness of dose delivery and effectiveness had been the most important new offering that VST was targeting in 2023, to help address and manage a diversity of critical needs for their members. Mr. Zall stated they had determined that PBIO’s UltraShear Technology was the world’s leading platform for developing highly effective nanoemulsions of CBD in either a topical or oral spray. They were (and are) excited to partner with PBIO, to soon introduce to their membership the first product to emerge from this collaboration: a revolutionary, all-natural, preservative-free, highly potent, UltraShear nanoemulsified CBD topical spray.

Mr. John B. Hollister, Director of Marketing and Sales, commented: “Yesterday we announced the successful expansion of internal capabilities to ensure the fulfillment of existing orders, starting in early October. Today we are announcing a 10-fold increase in the number of bottles of one of these existing orders. Although this request is a significant increase, it is important to note that our VST partner has advised us that this may be the “tip of the iceberg”, and that PBIO needs to be ready to respond to such large orders in the near future, both often and quickly.”

Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBIO, concluded: “As stated in our June announcement, VST believes their membership will exceed two million of the nearly 18 million active-duty personnel and veterans within five years. PBIO and VST estimate that PBIO’s revenue from this relationship will significantly grow year-over-year, from initial annual revenue of about $1.5M to as much as $15M in the fifth year of the agreement. These projections are for Nano-CBD products sales only (both topical and oral), which the companies believe will be generated from sales of up to 50,000 spray bottles in Year 1 to approximately 500,000 spray bottles in Year 5. PBIO investors and VST members can expect to hear much more about additional UltraShear processed products developed and offered through VST in the months ahead.”
