Stem Cell Therapeutics Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SSS) ("SCT"), a life sciences company
developing stem cell-related technologies, today announced that it has signed a
definitive debenture purchase and merger agreement with Trillium Therapeutics
Inc. ("Trillium") and its debenture holders, who also comprise the preferred
shareholders. The debenture holders, who intend to vote in favour of the merger
at a meeting of shareholders of Trillium to be held on April 5, 2013, have
converted their preference shares to common shares and now hold greater than the
two-thirds majority of the common shares required to approve the merger. SCT
believes that the merger will be concluded, subject to certain events required
by SCT.


SCT and Trillium previously announced the signing of a Letter of Agreement on
February 4, 2013, and provided the details of the merger. The originally
anticipated closing date of March 31, 2013 has been extended by mutual consent
of SCT and Trillium to accommodate the timing of the Trillium shareholder
meeting. 


SCT also announced that it has met the conditions to exercise the option to
exclusively license the clinical stem cell program from the University Health
Network and MaRS Innovation announced on November 7, 2012, and is proceeding to
finalize the corresponding license agreement.


In other news, the Company has closed its U.S. private placement offering of
units. Gross proceeds from the two financings, including the previously
announced shelf prospectus drawdown on March 15, 2013, now total $3,185,080.
Griffin Securities and Roth Capital Partners served as financial advisors in the
U.S.
