Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements are typically preceded by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “will,” “may,” “should,” or similar expressions.  These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual future experience and results to differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.  Important factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, events and factors disclosed previously and from time to time in NeoStem’s filings with the SEC, including NeoStem’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “10-K”) and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed after such 10-K.  Additionally, this Current Report on Form 8-K and the material furnished herewith contains forward-looking statements with respect to the merger (the “Merger”) of a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoStem with Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC (“PCT”), which Merger closed on January 19, 2011.  Important factors that might cause such a difference relating to the Merger include the factors disclosed in NeoStem’s filings as set forth above and in the proxy statement / prospectus included in NeoStem’s registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC in connection with the Merger.  NeoStem’s further development is highly dependent on future medical and research developments and market acceptance, which is outside its control.  NeoStem may experience difficulties in integrating PCT’s business and could fail to realize potential benefits of the Merger.
