Subsequent Events	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 13, 2017, Transgenomic completed the sale of an aggregate of $1.15 million of promissory notes (the “Bridge Notes”) in a bridge financing pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). Transgenomic may receive additional investments of up to $100,000 in connection with the bridge financing. The financing is intended to help facilitate the completion of Transgenomic’s merger with Precipio, which is expected to close during the second quarter of 2017. Transgenomic received net proceeds of $1,031,000 from the sale of the Bridge Notes. The Bridge Notes have an annual interest rate of 4% and a 90-day maturity. Transgenomic may repay the Bridge Notes at any time in cash upon payment of a 20% premium. In connection with the issuance of the Bridge Notes, Transgenomic issued warrants (the “Bridge Warrants”) to acquire 1.15 million shares of Transgenomic common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to anti-dilution protection. The Purchase Agreement provides certain piggyback registration rights for the holders of the Bridge Warrants for a period of six months after the closing of the bridge financing. As part of the bridge financing, Transgenomic agreed to loan 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of the Bridge Notes to Precipio pursuant to a promissory note (the “Precipio Note”) with an original principal amount of up to $561,500 upon substantially the same terms and conditions as the Bridge Notes. The payment of the Precipio Note is subordinated to the payment by Precipio of its secured $500,000 bank debt pursuant to a subordination agreement. Aegis Capital Corp. acted as placement agent for the bridge financing and received a placement agent fee of $84,000 and warrants (the “Aegis Warrants”) to acquire 168,000 shares of Transgenomic common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Aegis Warrants are identical to the Bridge Warrants except that the Aegis Warrants do not have anti-dilution protection.
