In April 2015, Asterias received $1,062,023 from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine as quarterly installment payment of a $14.3 million research grant awarded during 2014.

On May 8, 2015, OncoCyte Corporation accepted subscriptions for 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to two for $3,300,000 in cash from two of its shareholders, including a subscription for 1,000,000 shares from George Karfunkel, a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common shares of BioTime. Concurrently, BioTime purchased 3,000,000 shares of OncoCyte common stock in exchange for the cancelation of $3,300,000 of indebtedness owed to BioTime by OncoCyte, and OncoCyte delivered to BioTime a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) for an additional $3,300,000 of OncoCyte’s indebtedness to BioTime. The Note will bear interest at the rate of 1% per annum and will mature and be payable on November 30, 2016. BioTime will have the right to convert the principal amount of the Note plus accrued interest into shares of OncoCyte common stock at a conversion price of $1.10 per share commencing on the earliest of November 8, 2016, or six months after OncoCyte completes an initial underwritten public offering of its common stock, or upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” as defined in the Note. An Event of Default includes a failure of OncoCyte to pay any amount due on the Note or the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings by or against OncoCyte or the occurrence of certain insolvency related events, the dissolution or liquidation of OncoCyte, or any material breach or default by OncoCyte under any loan agreement, promissory note, or other instrument evidencing indebtedness payable to a third party. The conversion price is subject to pro rata adjustment in the event of a stock split, combination, reclassification, or similar event.
