Press Release

VANCOUVER, BC – August 26, 2014 – RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. (the “Company” or “RepliCel”)(TSXV:RP) (OTCQB: REPCF) a regenerative medicine company developing proprietary autologous cell therapies for chronic tendinosis, aging and sun damaged skin and pattern baldness, today announced its operational and financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. All amounts included in this news release are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. The Company’s financial statements and management report are available at www.edgar.com, www.sedar.com and at www.replicel.com.

“In the second quarter of 2014, we continued to achieve product development and financial milestones as we advance our best-in-class cell therapy platform which leverages the unique properties of the hair follicle to treat cellular deficits,” said David Hall, CEO and President of RepliCel. “The completion of a private placement priced above market which included a strategic healthcare-focused fund, in our opinion, further validates our approach and our technology. The financing also supports our near-term clinical activities with the upcoming fall initiation of three planned clinical trials. In addition, Shiseido, our licensed partner for our pattern baldness treatment, opened their state-of-the-art facility for cell processing and expansion in Kobe, Japan. We believe that Shiseido’s progress points to both companies advancing Phase 2 pattern baldness clinical activities in the near future.”

Financial Results

The increase in total comprehensive loss for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 was primarily the result of advancing the pre-clinical work for RCT-A-01 and RCS-01, development of the RCI-02 injector device prototype, improvements in the cell replication process for RCH-01 in preparation for our submission to regulatory authorities and incremental expenditure on intellectual property during the last two quarters. Also, the Company incurred additional costs in 2014 as a result of listing on the TSXV and an overall increase to operational activities in 2014.
