Company’s Common Stock Listed Under Symbol “AGE”

AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American: AGE), a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of therapeutics targeting human aging, announced today that its common stock is now trading on the NYSE American exchange under the symbol “AGE.”

On November 28, 2018, AgeX’s former parent company, BioTime, Inc. (NYSE American: BTX) distributed approximately 12.7 million shares of AgeX common stock to BioTime shareholders in the ratio of one share of AgeX common stock for every 10 BioTime common shares owned. There are approximately 35.8 million shares of AgeX common stock outstanding of which approximately 1.7 million are held by BioTime and 16.4 million are held by Juvenescence Limited, a life science and biotech company developing therapies to increase healthy human longevity.

“The aging of our society presents both a challenge and an opportunity,” said Michael D. West, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of AgeX. “The challenge relates to the high prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases in late life that account for the majority of health care expenditures in the U.S. The opportunity offered by modern medical research is unprecedented in history and reflects our new-found potential to peer deeply into the molecular machinery of life and finally understand exactly why and how we age. Our mission at AgeX is to lead in the translation of these important discoveries into breakthrough therapies targeting some of the largest markets in aging and medicine.”

“We at Juvenescence are excited to be part of AgeX and to work closely with Dr. West and his colleagues to create the science and opportunities that will transform regenerative medicine for the benefit of mankind,” said Gregory Bailey, M.D., CEO of Juvenescence and the newly-appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors of AgeX.

About AgeX

AgeX is a biotechnology company focused on the development of novel therapeutics for age-related degenerative disease. AgeX’s mission is to apply the proprietary technology platform related to telomerase-mediated cell immortality and regenerative biology to address a broad range of diseases of aging. The current preclinical development efforts include two cell-based therapies derived from telomerase-positive pluripotent stem cells and two product candidates derived from the company’s proprietary induced Tissue Regeneration (iTR™) technology. AGEX-BAT1 and AGEX-VASC1 are cell-based approaches in the preclinical stage of development comprised of young regenerative cells modified using AgeX’s UniverCyte™ technology facilitating immune tolerance, formulated in HyStem® matrix, designed to correct metabolic imbalances in aging and to restore vascular support in ischemic tissues respectively. AGEX-iTR1547 is a drug-based formulation in preclinical development intended to restore regenerative potential in a wide array of aged tissues afflicted with degenerative disease using the company’s proprietary iTR technology. Renelon™ is a first-generation iTR product designed to promote scarless tissue repair which AgeX plans to initially develop as a topically-administered device for commercial development through a 510(k) application. In addition to the product candidates in early development, AgeX, through its LifeMap subsidiary, currently markets genomic interpretation algorithms. AgeX also markets Cytiva® comprised of PSC-derived heart muscle cells used in screening drugs for efficacy and safety.
