forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge
from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of such factors on our business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Canada
Primary endpoint - safety through 6 months - then
volunteers will be solicited for an additional 18 months follow-up
next-phase study application will be submitted to Health Canada
28 patients, 21 treated & 7 placebo
Estimated 3 months to complete enrollment
Secondary endpoint efficacy at 6 months
Function, pain, tendon appearance & biomechanics, blood flow,
activity scale, quality of life measured at 1, 2, 4, & 6 months

Aging and Sun Damaged Skin Fibroblast Deficit

Skin damage caused by aging, UV exposure, lifestyle factors

As we age fibroblasts in the skin produce less collagen causing skin to


lose its elasticity and structure

Injection of collagen-rich fibroblasts is designed to reverse skin


damage

Dermal Sheath Cup Deficit: Pattern Baldness

Human scalp follicles develop with a fixed


amount of dermal papillae (DP) cells
(approx. 500)
Total # of DP cells determines the # and
thickness of hair fibers
Diminishing volume of active DP cells leads
to pattern baldness
Drug treatments do not increase DP cells
Only dermal sheath cup (DSC) cells regulate
the volume of DP cells and therefore hair
fiber growth

sheath cup cells (collected from back of
scalp)

Current Standard of Care

Micro-transplant surgery is the current gold standard


Highly dependent on surgeons skill

Rogaine (minoxidil) topical solution suitable for men and women


Approx. 8-16% density increase from baseline (at 12 months)
Treatment maintenance required or gains are lost

Propecia (finasteride) oral pill not suitable for women


Approx. 7-14% density increase from baseline (at 12 months)
Treatment maintenance required or gains are lost

Replicel Dermal Sheath Cup phase 1 averaged 11.8% density increase at 6


months for its responders (5%)
Safety endpoint achieved; no adverse events
