NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The management team of Specialty diagnostics company Precipio, Inc. (NASDAQ:PRPO), would like to provide an explanation on the recent Amendment to the S-1 that was filed yesterday, on January 27, 2020.

The company filed its S-1 registration statement for the equity line by Lincoln Park on January 14, 2020.  The company received the SEC's confirmation of no-review, however, the SEC requested that the company add a table with its executive compensation updated as of December 31, 2019. The company complied with this requirement by filing an amendment to the registration statement and adding a new section "Executive Compensation" on page 27. This is the sole change from the registration statement that was filed on January 14, 2019.

"We have decided that as part of our effort to provide as much transparency, from time to time the company will issue such press releases that help provide clarification to our shareholders on the business transactions we undertake."
