2 WELCOME TO ACCELLERATE AN INVESTMENT LIKE NO OTHER Your clients trust your skills and expertise to guide them to the best products to plan for a secure future. This is exactly why we are introducing Accellerate to you - the ultimate personalised health investment focused around stem cell banking. Read on to learn more about how you can benefit from being part of Accellerate whilst safeguarding your client s most valuable asset. STEM CELL BANKING Investing in the future of an individual s healthcare requires using the best experts and technology out there. Millions of people around the world are doing just this, and choosing stem cell banking to secure a healthy future. Our dedicated team of scientific professionals have pioneered Accellerate - a globally innovative, leading stem cell storing technology for adults. We re now looking for the best partnerships to champion this revolutionary medical service.

3 WHY STORE STEM CELLS? Stem cells are already used in routine treatments for a wide variety of medical conditions ranging in gravity and type, from life-threatening illnesses such as leukaemia, to sports injuries. Stem cell research is also ongoing in seeking to cure degenerative diseases, various cancers and one of society s most widespread disorders; diabetes. By storing one s own stem cells individuals can open up the future of personalised medical treatment like never before which can negate the need for finding a donor match when there is no guarantee one can be found. In addition there is no risk of adverse reactions sometimes seen in donor cells, and those who store are rest assured their cells are available when they need them most. WHY ACCELLERATE? For individuals who care seriously about the future of their health, we believe the cutting-edge technology behind Accellerate positions us as one of the global market leaders in stem cell processing and storage innovators. The company behind Accellerate - Precious Cells Group - continues to invest in its organisation with the ambition to create the most advanced stem cell bank in the world. Its executive board alone has a combined experience of 150 years in building healthcare and life science companies, worth more than 15 billion dollars.

4 PIONEERING TECHNOLOGY Accellerate is powered by Oristem technology which isn t available anywhere else. Using this technology, Accellerate captures versatile, natural, stem cells that can currently be banked, using a proven, pain-free method. We believe the technology is so advanced in its field, potentially providing a far wider range of medical and scientific applications. Accellerate is the first company to offer this kind of pioneering technology in the world.* HOW DOES IT WORK? The cells that Accellerate store are taken from an individual s blood in a similar way to a routine blood test, meaning that the procedure could take place simply in a lunch hour and an individual could return to work without needing to rest. WHAT S IN IT FOR YOU? Excellent referral fees for new business: Accellerate offers attractive referral rates to partners A USP like no other: Accellerate is the only company globally to offer such pioneering stem cell storage technology* Full training and support via a personal account manager: our team will train and support our partners in how to sell Accellerate on to the client The cells then go to a state-of-the-art, HTA regulated, UK-based cleanroom processing laboratory, where clever science is able to isolate the special cells from the ordinary cells before being cryogenically frozen and stored in highly secure storage facilities. Accellerate pledges to work directly with an individual s hospital or clinic to ensure samples are available as per the required treatment plan. Complete marketing/sales collateral: created by industry experts in clear and simple language Credibility: Accellerate is part of the Precious Cells Group, one of a small number of stem cell companies to hold exclusive contracts with the NHS as a stem cell storage provider** Personal benefits: Accellerate offers substantial discounts to partners, their families and even friends who take up the service. ACCELLERATE : OFFERING PIONEERING MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY TO LIFE S PIONEERS * Oristem technology is patented. **Correct at the time of printing.
