Geron, BioTime Deal Moves Forward with Letter of Intent
Posted: November 18, 2012 at 7:59 am
Geron Corp., which once pioneered human
embryonic stem cell research, is close to selling off its hESC business in a complicated deal involving two former CEOs of the company and
BioTime, Inc., of Alameda, Ca.
The two publicly traded firms yesterday
announced a “letter of intent” involving a transaction in which
BioTime would acquire the assets of Geron's hESC clinical trial that
the company suddenly abandoned last year. The firm also laid off 66 people,
about 40 percent of its staff.

Abandonment of the program came only a
few months after the $3 billion California stem cell agency loaned Geron $25 million to assist in the trial. The agency could
restore the loan for the trial, but the Geron-BioTime announcement
did not mention that possibility. The California Stem Cell Report has
asked the agency for comment.

The letter of intent came one year and
one day after Geron announced that it was giving up the hESC spinal injury trial because of financial reasons. The Menlo Park, Ca., firm
has been trying to sell its hESC assets since then. BioTime has
been the only firm to express public interest. The Geron trial was
the first hESC trial approved by the FDA.

The proposed deal involves Michael
West, who founded Geron and is now head of Biotime, and Tom Okarma,
who was CEO of Geron from 1999 to 2011. Okarma is now head of BioTime
Acquisition Corp.,(BAC) a subsidiary of BioTime.

described the deal in which BioTime would acquire Geron's
“intellectual property and other assets related to Geron’s
discontinued human embryonic stem cell programs.”
“ BioTime would contribute
to BAC $5 million in cash, $30 million of BioTime common
shares, warrants to purchase eight (8) million common shares
of BioTime at a pre-specified price, rights to use certain
human embryonic stem cell lines, and minority stakes in two of
BioTime’s subsidiaries. In addition, a private investor would
invest $5 million in cash in BAC.
“Following consummation of the
potential transaction, Geron stockholders would receive
shares representing 21.4% of the common stock of BAC as well as
warrants to purchase 8 million shares of BioTime common
stock at a pre-specified price. BioTime would own
approximately 71.6%, and a private investor would own approximately
7.0% of the outstanding BAC common stock for their $5
million investment. BioTime would also receive
warrants that would enable it to increase its ownership in BAC by
approximately 2%, which would reduce the Geron stockholders’
ownership in BAC to 19.2%. BAC would also be committed to pay
to Geron royalties on the sale of products that are
commercialized in reliance upon Geron patents acquired by
BAC.”
Prior to release of the letter of
intent, an article earlier this week by Vickie Brower in The Scientist said,
intent, an article earlier this week by Vickie Brower in The Scientist said,
“The offer couldn’t come at a
better time for Geron, which in recent months has started to feel
pressure from its shareholders to boost its stock price and move
products through the pipeline. Since last November, when the company
announced its decision to shutter its hESC and regenerative medicine
business and funnel its resources into developing telomerase-related
treatments for cancer, the stock price has dropped more than 50
percent to $1.30 a share. Geron claimed the move was simply to save
money, but many took the decision—which effectively terminated a
clinical trial of an hESC treatment for spinal cord injury—as a
setback for the entire field."
News coverage of yesterday's
announcement was light. Here is a link to a piece by Ryan McBride on
Fierce Biotech.
Geron's stock price closed at $1.21
yesterday and rose to $1.24 in after hours trading. BioTime closed at
$2.97. No after hours trading was reported for BioTime.

Human Stem Cells in Skin Care from Lifeline Video
Human stem cells in skin care is a major beauty breakthrough, The non-embryonic human stem cells used exclusively in Lifeline Skin Care stimulate cell turnover, collagen, and elastin -- to build new skin cells like never before. There are 3 types of human stem cells used in skin care: 1. Non-embryonic, used exclusively in Lifeline Skin Care. Lifeline has a patented method for taking extracts from unfertilized human eggs -- the same cells active early in life -- and the most potent human stem cells available. 2. Embryonic, from fertilized eggs. Unfortunately, human embryos are destroyed in the process of using embryonic human stem cells. 3. Adult stem cells, taken from leftover skin from tummy tucks and other procedures. But our stem cells become less potent as we age, and adult stem cells have less value in creating a proliferation of new skin cells (the way non-embryonic human stem cells can). The human stem cell extracts in Lifeline Skin Care include: growth factors, enzymes, peptides, and amino acids. These stem cell extracts improve cell proliferation, increase elastin and collagen production, and repair DNA. Lifeline stem cell skin care includes: A. Lifeline Day Serum to smooth skin. This stem cell serum is actually a serum and moisturizer in one. It rescues your skin from signs of aging. Day Serum also includes vitamins A, B, C, E, P, and antioxidants, along with SPF 15. B. Lifeline Night Serum firms and rejuvenates your skin while you sleep. This stem cell serum ...From:LifelineSkinCareViews:1 0ratingsTime:04:31More inHowto Style

From these various groups, "divine" bloodlines emerged, assuming the "right to rule." Members of these groups, known as the Illuminati keep people under control via the chemical poisoning of the food supply, and eventually plan to microchip the entire population for complete external control, he outlined. However, he noted that people can break free by not identifying with the "body computer" or five senses. "We #39;ve forgotten that we #39;re an expression of infinite consciousness," and have become identified with "the small instead of the all," said Icke. In the 2008 election, both Giuliani and Hillary Clinton are Illuminati candidates-- "puppets of the hidden force," he declared, adding that Hillary is a particularly powerful figure in the Illuminati.
