EL PASO, TX--(Marketwired - December 16, 2013) - Premier Biomedical, Inc. (OTCBB: BIEI), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative immune-system manipulation therapies for breast cancer, as well as novel therapies for Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury, announced that it has entered into a $5 million common stock purchase agreement with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC, a Newport Beach-based institutional investor. The company has agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") covering the shares that may be issued to Kodiak under the terms of the common stock purchase agreement. After the SEC has declared the registration statement related to the transaction effective, the company has the right at its sole discretion over a period of one year to sell up to $5 million of common stock under the terms set forth in the agreement.

Proceeds from this transaction will be used to advance Premier Biomedical, Inc.'s research and development programs, including a pipeline of oncology candidates for breast cancer treatments. In a study with laboratory mice conducted earlier this summer, a lead breast cancer drug candidate outperformed chemotherapy and yielded much better results -- smaller tumor volume, a much lower mortality rate and increased subject weight gain. This study was again duplicated months later in the laboratory with a recurrence of similarly exceptional results. In addition to confirming previous results, the results of this study were significant in that no mice treated with Premier Biomedical, Inc.'s therapy developed metastatic disease, the leading cause of death among human breast cancer patients.

"Through our rapidly accelerating program progress made in conjunction with our two partners in research and development, the University of Texas at El Paso and the US Department of Defense, towards the development of desperately needed treatments for cancer, TBI, PTSD, and Alzheimer's disease, we've never been more excited about the breadth of Premier Biomedical's portfolio of therapeutic candidates," said William A. Hartman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Premier Biomedical, Inc. "This financing will provide the resources to massively accelerate all of our programs, including testing of three humanized breast cancer drug candidates, each with distinct mechanisms of action that operate synergistically, and to accelerate our planned testing programs on larger animals and subsequent human clinical trials in FY 2014. This infusion of capital, provided at terms found by the Company to be very favorable, will accelerate the timetable for the development of commercially available drugs for patients suffering from these terrible diseases. We're very excited to be partners with Kodiak and welcome their investment with open-arms."

"We are enthusiastic to welcome Premier to our emerging life science portfolio; despite the technical constraints of their industry, they are incredibly well managed, and have assembled a team with the desire to achieve their dream of helping patients," said Ryan Hodson, Managing Director of Kodiak. "Quite simply, the preliminary test results are there and the company's prospects for development are very encouraging. We are proud to be associated with what is real progress, particularly as it fits so well with our oncological focus, and look forward to supporting the growth of their business."
