Section
3 - Securities and Trading Markets
Item
3.02 - Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.
On July
10, 2009, Broadwood Partners, L.P. and George Karfunkel each elected to purchase
an additional 1,100,000 BioTime common shares and 1,100,000 stock purchase
warrants under the terms of their May 2009 stock and warrant purchase
agreements.  BioTime received $4,000,000 for the sale of the
additional shares and warrants.  The warrants entitle the investors to
purchase additional common shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per
share.  The warrants will expire on October 31, 2010 and may not be
exercised after that date.
We may
redeem the warrants by paying $.01 per warrant if the closing price of our
common shares on any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market
exceeds 200% of the exercise price of the warrants for any 20 consecutive
trading days.  The redemption date will abate, if the closing price or
average bid price of our common shares does not equal or exceed 120% of the
exercise price of the warrants on the redemption date and each of the five
trading days immediately preceding the redemption date.  However, we
will have the right to redeem the warrants at a future date if the market price
of the common shares again exceeds 200% of the exercise price for 20 consecutive
trading days, as described above.  In addition, we may not redeem the
warrants unless a registration statement with respect to the warrants and
underlying common shares is effective under the Securities Act.
The
shares and warrants were sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").  We have agreed to file a registration statement after July 14,
2009 to register the warrants, and shares issuable upon the exercise of the
warrants, for sale under the Securities Act, subject to certain
limitations.  We have also agreed to file a registration statement
after May 15, 2010 to register the common shares purchased by the investors, or
to permit the investors to include the common shares in any future registration
statements that we may file after that date, subject to certain
limitations.
