About BioTime
BioTime, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing novel therapies developed from
what the company believes to be the world’s premier collection of pluripotent cell assets. The foundation of BioTime’s core
therapeutic technology platform is pluripotent cells that are capable of becoming any of the cell types in the human body.
Pluripotent cells have potential application in many areas of medicine with large unmet patient needs, including various
age-related degenerative diseases and degenerative conditions for which there presently are no cures. Unlike pharmaceuticals that
require a molecular target, therapeutic strategies based on the use of pluripotent cells are generally aimed at regenerating or
replacing affected cells and tissues, and therefore may have broader applicability than pharmaceutical products. BioTime also has
significant equity holdings in two publicly traded companies, Asterias Biotherapeutics, Inc. and OncoCyte Corporation, which
BioTime founded and which, until recently, were majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries of BioTime.
BioTime common stock is traded on the NYSE MKT and TASE under the symbol BTX. For more information, please
