Explanation of Responses: |
1. The reporting person received 54,905 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of NeoStem, Inc. (the "Company") in exchange for 285,714 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of China Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. ("CBH") on October 30, 2009, in connection with the merger (the "Merger") of CBH with and into CBH Acquisition LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, based on an exchange ratio of 0.1921665. On the effective date of the Merger, the closing price of the Company's common stock was $1.90 per share, and the closing price of CBH's common stock was $0.30 per share. |
2. The two reported transactions involved an amendment to the exercise price of an outstanding warrant to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, resulting in the deemed cancellation of the "old" warrant and the issuance of a replacement warrant. The expiration date has been maintained. The warrant was acquired by the reporting person on June 2, 2006 and was fully exercisable as of that date. The amendment to the exercise price was effected pursuant to approval received from the Company's stockholders ("Stockholder Approval") at its Special Meeting of Stockholders held on October 29, 2009 (the "Special Meeting") and as described in the Company's Proxy Statement/Prospectus on Form S-4/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 6, 2009 (the "Form S-4"). |
3. Effective on October 30, 2009, the reporting person was granted an option to purchase 13,387 shares of common stock of the Company, pursuant and subject to the Company's 2009 Equity Compensation Plan and Stockholder Approval received at the Special Meeting to issue discretionary grants in connection with the option repricing as described in the Form S-4. This option vested in its entirety on the date of grant. |
