Therapeutics Announces $36,000,000 Debt Exchange for Preferred Stock
Calif.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-July 21, 2023-AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. ("AgeX"; NYSE American: AGE), a biotechnology
company developing therapeutics for human aging and regeneration, reported that on July 21, 2023, AgeX and Juvenescence Limited entered
into an Exchange Agreement pursuant to which AgeX agreed to issue to Juvenescence 211,600 shares of a newly authorized Series A Preferred
Stock and 148,400 shares of a newly authorized Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for the cancellation of a total of $36 Million of
indebtedness consisting of the outstanding principal amount of certain loans made by Juvenescence to AgeX and loan origination fees accrued
with respect to those loans.
exchange of the indebtedness for shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (collectively referred to as the "Preferred
Stock") will be implemented for the purpose of bringing AgeX common stock back into compliance with the continued listing requirements
of the NYSE American that require AgeX to have at least $6 Million of stockholders equity; however the continued listing remains dependent
upon a determination by the NYSE American that AgeX has regained compliance with their listing standards. The exchange of $36 Million
of indebtedness for the Preferred Stock would, on a proforma basis as of March 31, 2023, increase AgeX's stockholders equity to
approximately $16 Million from a deficit of approximately $20 Million. Actual stockholders equity will be reduced by losses recognized
by AgeX subsequent to March 31, 2023 which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts but if the exchange of indebtedness for Preferred
Stock were to be consummated on the date of this press release, AgeX's stockholder equity would exceed the $6 Million amount necessary
to meet NYSE American continued listing requirements. The consummation of the exchange of indebtedness for Preferred Stock is expected
to occur on or around July 25, 2023 subject to (a) the NYSE American approving a supplemental application to list the common stock issuable
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock into common stock, and (b) the filing of a Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred
Stock and a Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
Preferred Stock is not entitled to receive any payment or distribution of cash or other dividends. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the affairs of AgeX, subject to the preferences and other rights of any senior stock,
before any assets of AgeX shall be distributed to holders of common stock or other junior stock, all of the assets of AgeX available
for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock until
AgeX shall have distributed to the holders of those shares an amount of assets having a value equal to the subscription price per share.
share of Preferred Stock will be convertible into a number of shares of AgeX common stock determined by dividing (x) a number equal to
the number of dollars and cents comprising the subscription price, by (y) a number equal to the number of dollars and cents comprising
the conversion price. The subscription price per share of Preferred Stock is $100 which was paid through the exchange of indebtedness
for shares of Preferred Stock. The conversion price per share of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock is $0.72 which
was the closing price of AgeX common stock on the NYSE American on the last trading day immediately preceding the execution of the Exchange
under the rules of the NYSE American or any other national securities exchange on which AgeX common stock may be listed, approval by
AgeX stockholders would be required in connection with the issuance of common stock in excess of the "19.9% Cap" upon any
conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, then unless and until such stockholder approval has been obtained, the maximum number of shares
of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be an amount equal to the 19.9% Cap.
The 19.9% Cap means 7,550,302 shares of common stock.
under the rules of the NYSE American or any other national securities exchange on which AgeX common stock may be listed, approval by
AgeX stockholders would be required in connection with the issuance of common stock in excess of the 50% Cap upon any conversion of Series
B Preferred Stock, then unless and until such stockholder approval has been obtained, the maximum number of shares of common stock that
may be issued to a holder of Series B Preferred Stock upon conversion of such shares shall be an amount that, when added to other shares
of common stock owned by such holder immediately prior to such conversion would equal one share less than the 50% Cap.
Preferred Stock has limited voting rights. The following matters will require the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares
of a series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a separate class: (i) creation of any Preferred Stock ranking as senior stock
to the series with respect to liquidation preferences; (ii) repurchase of any shares of common stock or other junior stock except shares
issued pursuant to or in connection with a compensation or incentive plan or agreement approved by the Board of Directors for any officers,
directors, employees or consultants of AgeX; (iii) any sale, conveyance, or other disposition of all or substantially all AgeX's
property or business, or any liquidation or dissolution of AgeX, or a merger into or consolidation with any other corporation (other
than a wholly-owned subsidiary corporation) but only to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law requires that such transaction
be approved by each class or series of Preferred Stock; (iv) any adverse change in the powers, preferences and rights of, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions on, the series of Preferred Stock; or (v) any amendment of AgeX's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws
that results in any adverse change in the powers, preferences and rights of, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions on,
the series of Preferred Stock. Except as may otherwise be required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Preferred Stock will
have no other voting rights.
