RepliCel Provides Default Status Update
VANCOUVER, BC – October 11, 2023 -
RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. (OTCQB: REPCF) (TSXV: RP) (FRA: P6P2), (“RepliCel” or the “Company”), a company developing next-generation
technologies in aesthetics and orthopedics, is providing a default status report in accordance with the alternative information guidelines set out in National
Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP
12-203”).
Due to the untimely passing of the Company’s CFO at the time, on August 30, 2023 the Company announced (the “Default Announcement”) that it made an application to the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) to approve a temporary management cease trade order (“MCTO”) on the basis that it would be unable
to file its interim financial statements, accompanying management’s discussion and analysis and required certifications for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 (the “Interim Filings”) on or before the prescribed filing deadline of August 29, 2023 as required by National Instrument 51-102, Continuous Disclosure Obligations and NI 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuer’s Annual and Interim Filings,
respectively. The application was approved by the BCSC on August 29, 2023 and the MCTO was issued by the BCSC on August 30, 2023. The MCTO prohibits trading in securities of the Company by certain insiders of the Company, whether direct or indirect.
The MCTO requires the Interim Filings to be filed on or before October 30, 2023. The Company anticipates that the Interim Filings will be filed on or before October 27, 2023.
The Company is in the process of completing the consolidation of its financial statements. There have been no
material changes to the information contained in the Default Announcement or any other changes required to be disclosed under NP 12-203.
The Company will continue to provide bi-weekly updates, as required by NP 12-203, until the Interim Filings have
been filed. The Company confirms it will continue to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in Sections 9 and 10 of NP 12-203 so long as it remains in default of the requirement to file the Interim Filings.
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. These cell therapy product candidates are based on RepliCel’s innovative technology, utilizing cell populations isolated from a patient’s healthy hair follicles.
The Company’s cell therapy product pipeline is comprised of RCT-01 for tendon repair, RCS-01 for skin rejuvenation, and RCH-01 for hair
restoration. RCH-01 has been the subject of successful safety and dose-finding clinical studies and is now the subject of its third clinical study evaluating efficacy for the treatment of male and female hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia. This
ongoing study is being funded by Shiseido Company Limited pursuant to a license agreement which has now been terminated but is the subject of an arbitration regarding Shiseido’s rights to the product for Asia. RepliCel maintains the undisputed
rights to RCH-01 for the rest of the world. RCT-01 and RCS-01 are exclusively licensed in Greater China to YOFOTO (China) Health Company. RepliCel and YOFOTO are currently co-developing these products in China. RepliCel maintains the rights to
these products outside of Greater China.
RepliCel has also developed a proprietary injection device (DermaPreciseTM) and related consumables, which is expected to
improve the administration of its cell therapy products and certain other injectables. YOFOTO has exclusively licensed the commercial rights for the DermaPrecise™ device and consumables in Greater China for dermatology applications and is expected
to first launch the product in Hong Kong upon it being approved for market launch in either the United States or Europe. MainPointe Pharmaceuticals has an exclusive distribution agreement for the DermaPrecise™ device and consumables in the United
States, subject to income. MainPointe is expected to fund the FDA approval process in the United States. Please visit replicel.com for additional
information.

RepliCel’s three cell therapy products have now been tested in over 100 patients in four countries on three continents.

RepliCel now has key strategic regional partners each of which are now investing heavily in the further clinical testing and
development of RepliCel’s products for their markets. Data from each of the clinical programs will strengthen the product development initiatives for RepliCel and its other partners worldwide.
