(OTCBB: SCII) and its soon to be subsidiary, Histostem Ltd. of South Korea (“Histostem”), announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement for up to a $5 million investment commitment with Socius Life Science Capital Group, LLC.

David Stark, Stem Cell Therapy’s President and CEO, stated, “This financing was established at terms we believe are favorable to the Company and comes at an exciting point in our development as we work towards the completion of the pre-closing terms of the merger of Stem Cell Therapy and Histostem. The combined company would bring together the medical expertise, stem cell supply, technology, and products and to give us a leadership role in the fields of regenerative research, medicine, and cosmetic treatments. Among other growth initiatives, this financing once funded will allow us to build the distribution infrastructure for the roll out of our stem cell based cosmetic products and to begin protocols for various clinical trials.”

The facility provides the mechanism for the Company to issue shares of redeemable cumulative preferred stock from time to time in multiple tranches. The preferred will accrue dividends annually at a rate of 10% from each investment date, payable in additional shares of preferred stock. The Company has issued a warrant to purchase shares of common stock at the maximum allowable number based on $0.159 per common shares, which the Company must in turn, register all shares underlying the warrant, and satisfy other closing conditions, which are required prior to drawing down the first tranche. The warrant vests with each tranche draw, at an exercise price equal to the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the day immediately preceding the tranche notice date, with respect to that number of warrant shares equal to 135% of the dollar amount of the tranche divided by the exercise price. The financing is subject to customary closing conditions. The Company plans to file a form 8-K to provide more details of the financing.
