made progress in 2018 as we overcame the short-term setback of patient recruitment in our trial in Israel and moved closer to
the initiation of our U.S. clinical efforts," commented Dr. Shai Yarkoni, Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to
validate our innovative science, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recent decision to hire at least 50 clinical
assesors to focus on cell and gene therapy companies is precisely why we believe Cellect will be a major beneficiary in the growth
of this sector - companies and academics need to source stem cells from a reliable and cost effective supplier to develop
their therapies over the next decade and we are positioning Cellect's technology to enable that. Operationally, we recently
strengthened our balance sheet through an underwritten public offering, securing interest from sophisticated healthcare investors
and participation from senior executives from Cellect, which reflects our continued optimism and outlook for 2019. We look forward
to providing an update on our progress in the coming months through a business update conference call."
