1 Human Embryonic and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells: Biotechnology Entering a New Era of Complexity GTC 5th Advances in Stem Cell Discovery & Development Conference October 20, 2011

2 Forward Looking Statements The matters discussed in this presentation include forward looking statements which are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated. Such risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to the success of BioTime in developing new stem cell products and technologies; results of clinical trials of BioTime products; the ability of BioTime and its licensees to obtain additional FDA and foreign regulatory approval to market BioTime products; competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies; the price of and demand for BioTime products; and the ability of BioTime to raise the capital needed to finance its current and planned operations. Other risk factors are discussed in BioTime s Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
