About RepliCel Life Sciences
RepliCel is a regenerative medicine company focused on developing cell therapies for aesthetic and orthopedic conditions affecting
what the Company believes is approximately one in three people in industrialized nations, including aging/sun-damaged skin, pattern
baldness, and chronic tendon degeneration. These conditions, often associated with aging, are caused by a deficit of
healthy cells required for normal tissue healing and function. The Company's product pipeline is comprised of RCT-01 for tendon
repair, RCS-01 for skin rejuvenation, and RCH-01 for hair restoration. RCH-01 is currently being co-developed with, and under exclusive
license by, Shiseido for certain Asian countries. All product candidates are based on RepliCel's innovative technology, utilizing
cell populations isolated from a patient's healthy hair follicles. RepliCel has also developed a proprietary injection device,
RCI-02, optimized for the administration of its products and licensable for use with other dermatology applications. Please visit www.replicel.com
