NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Specialty cancer diagnostics company Precipio, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPO) has made major strides in cleaning up its balance sheet with two major accomplishments:
1. Major obligation repaid
A $1.1 million advance from Change Healthcare ("CHC"), the Company's clearinghouse service for billing claims processing, has been repaid. CHC experienced a cybersecurity incident in 2024 and advanced Precipio and others funds to cover collections shortfalls. In early January 2026, the Company completed its repayment of that advance.
Precipio maintains a small loan with the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development in the approximate principal amount of $80,000 (amortized at $3,000/month with a 3.25% interest rate, to be paid in full by May 2028). Other than this minor loan, Precipio has a debt-free balance sheet.
2. All financial warrants exercised
As part of a 2023 financing, the Company issued warrants to participating investors. In Q3 and Q4 of 2025, a portion of those warrants were exercised in normal manner, and the remainder were exercised cashless to reduce dilution to shareholders. At this point, all financial warrants have been exercised, and Precipio has no further financial warrants outstanding.
Remaining are 10,000 warrants given to a vendor for services provided in 2022 in lieu of cash payment, at a strike price of $60, and expiring February 2027.
"The combination of profitable operations and a clean balance sheet continues to reduce the financial risk to Precipio shareholders," said Ilan Danieli, CEO. "Management remains focused on executing its business strategy to continue to grow the business, increase profit margins and create sustained shareholder value."
