On July 17, 2012, StemCells, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing pre-clinical results from a study of its cells in two animal models relevant to Alzheimer's disease. Data from the study showed that neural stem cell transplantation into the hippocampus can have a beneficial and statistically significant effect on memory. The Company's collaborators from the University of California, Irvine, observed increased synaptic density and improved memory post transplantation independent of a reduction in beta amyloid and tau burden. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
