Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Amendment”) amends the information disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 14, 2018 (the “Original Form 8-K”) by Cancer Genetics, Inc. (the “Company”) which, among other things, announced the appointment of M. Glenn Miles as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective as of November 26, 2018. At the time of filing of the Original Form 8-K, the Company and Mr. Miles had not yet finalized the compensation and other arrangements pertaining to Mr. Miles in connection with his appointment as Chief Financial Officer. Accordingly, the sole purpose of this Amendment is to provide Mr. Miles’ compensation and other arrangements in connection with his appointment as Chief Financial Officer.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On November 16, 2018, the Company and Mr. Miles entered into an offer letter with respect to Mr. Miles’ appointment as Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective November 26, 2018 (the “Offer Letter”). The Offer Letter provides for, among other things, (i) an annual base salary of $300,000 and (ii) eligibility for an annual cash bonus of up to 30% of his base salary. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer Letter and subject to continued employment, the Company will grant to Mr. Miles an option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Offer Letter has an initial one year term and automatically renews for additional one-year terms.

The description of the Offer Letter is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, which is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

The Company will also enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Miles (the “Indemnification Agreement”), in the Company’s standard form which has been previously entered into by the Company with each of the Company’s directors and executive officers, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.7 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2011.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate” and similar words, and the opposites of such words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that exist in the Registrant’s operations and business environment, which may be beyond the Registrant’s control, and which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward- looking statements. For example, forward-looking statements include, without limitation: statements regarding prospects for additional customers; market forecasts; projections of earnings, revenues, synergies, accretion or other financial information; and plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations. The risks and uncertainties referred to above include, but are not limited to, risks detailed from time to time in the Registrant’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018. These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward- looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Registrant. Forward-looking statements represent the judgment of management of the Registrant regarding future events. Although the Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable at the time that they are made, the Registrant can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Registrant assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, and expressly disclaims any obligation to do so, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
