FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

2

These slides and the accompanying oral presentation contain forward-looking statements and information. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels or activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by such statements. The use of words such as “may”, “might”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “project”, “intend”, “future”, “potential” or “continue”, and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. For example, all statements we make regarding (i) the initiation, timing, cost, progress and results of our preclinical and clinical studies and our research and development programs, (ii) our ability to advance product candidates into, and successfully complete, clinical studies, (iii) the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals, (iv) our ability to develop, manufacture and commercialize our product candidates and to improve the manufacturing process, (v) the rate and degree of market acceptance of our product candidates, (vi) the size and growth potential of the markets for ourproduct candidates and our ability to serve those markets, and (vii) our expectations regarding our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates, are forward looking. All forward-looking statements are based on current estimates, assumptions and expectations by our management that, although we believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results todiffer materially from those that we expected. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it was made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. This presentation is not, and nothing in it should be construed as, an offer, invitation or recommendation in respect of our securities, or an offer, invitation or recommendation to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any of our securities in any jurisdiction. Neither this presentation nor anything in it shall form the basis of any contract or commitment. This presentation is not intended to be relied upon as advice to investors or potential investors and does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation or needs of any investor.

This results in lower expression of cytokines, rebalancing the system to its normal immune stateWhile digesting the dying cells, macrophages and dendritic cells undergo a process of toleration,become less aggressive, and release fewer alert signals

Macrophages and dendritic cells, who, among other things, have the primary biological roleto clear apoptotic cells from the body, feed on the infused cells

Bone marrow transplants (BMT) are susceptible to GvHD and other material complications

Graft-vs-host disease (GvHD), a hyperimmune response,occurs when the donor T-cells register the host body'stissues and organs as foreign antigens and initiate anattack. Other complications such as Hepatic veno-occlusive disease, Severe endothelial leakage syndrome,Pneumonitis and Hepato-renal failure are also highlycorrelated with cytokine storms (Schots et al Leukemia 2003)

OUTCOME

SEPSIS CATEGORIES

Sepsis is the 3rd leading cause of death in the U.S.#1 Cardiovascular #2 Cancer

SEPSIS is a body’s overwhelming, life-threatening response to infection, involving hyper activity of the immune system. It can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death.

1 Ertapenem (an antibiotic drug by Merck) is a highly effective antibiotic agent commonly used for the treatment of severe or high-risk bacterial infections.This drug is usually reserved for known or suspected multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections. It is standard of care for Sepsis identified from urinary or abdominal infections.

The CLP model is a highly aggressive sepsis model causing widespread infection that results in 90%-100% mortality within 100 hours
