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. Please visit replicel.com for additional information.

Notable Facts:

  • 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.

RepliCel and MainPointe Pharmaceuticals Sign Strategic Investment and Collaboration Agreement

MainPointe Deal Positions RepliCel for entry into the U.S. market and significant milestones in Japan

VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA – 25 January 2021 – RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. (OTCPK: REPCF) (TSXV: RP) (FRA:P6P2) (“RepliCel” or the “Company”), a company developing next-generation technologies in aesthetics and orthopedics, announced today it has signed three strategic agreements with MainPointe Pharmaceuticals (\"MainPointe\") headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky (the “Transaction”). These are the definitive agreements contemplated by the Binding Term Sheet signed by the parties and announced in November 2020.  Closing of the Transaction represented in the signed agreements between the parties is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The agreements signed between RepliCel and MainPointe include a Share Purchase Agreement for the purchase of common shares at a price which is equal to the greater of $0.675 per share or the discounted market price per share (as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) for a total investment of CAD $2,700,000 spread over an 8-month period. RepliCel’s shares closed market trading yesterday at CAD $0.20 per share. MainPointe has also agreed to pay the costs related to securing FDA approvals to market launch RepliCel's dermal injector and consumables (the “RepliCel Injector Product Line”) in the United States. 

In return for MainPointe’s agreement to pay an over-the-market price for shares of RepliCel plus the FDA approval costs cited above, the parties signed two other agreements: a Royalty Participation Agreement and a Distribution Agreement. The Distribution Agreement provides MainPointe with a limited term, exclusive distribution partnership for the “RepliCel Injector Product Line” in the United States. The Royalty Participation Agreement provides MainPointe with a right to be paid a portion of RepliCel's future royalty revenue stream earned from the sale of RCS-01, RCT-01 and RCH-01 products and any derivatives. 

Management Commentary

\"This investment and commercial partnership with MainPointe represents the next step in management's strategy to secure material investments from long-term partners motivated to enhance RepliCel share value by moving RepliCel programs forward,\" stated President and CEO, R. Lee Buckler.

The Distribution Agreement with MainPointe represents RepliCel's first footprint in the U.S. market and the Company's second distribution partnership for its near-commercial RepliCel Injector Product Line. RepliCel's partner, YOFOTO (China) Health, committed in 2018 to being the distributor of the RepliCel Injector Product Line in Greater China, where it is expected to first launch in Hong Kong after either European or American regulatory approval is obtained and registered in the Chinese territory. This regulatory registration will also trigger a $500,000 milestone payment by YOFOTO to RepliCel. 

The Transaction with MainPointe represents the third strategic partnership secured by RepliCel and second major investment into RepliCel by a co-development and commercial partner. In 2013, RepliCel signed a co-development and licensing transaction with Shiseido Company including $4,000,000 upfront and over $31,000,000 in potential post-commercial milestone and sales royalty payments. In October 2018, YOFOTO invested CDN $5,090,000 in RepliCel by purchasing 5,357,000 common shares at CDN $0.95 per Share along with 1,071,580 share purchase warrants which have now expired. That deal also includes pre-commercial milestone payments of up to CDN $4,750,000, sales royalties, and a commitment by YOFOTO to spend a minimum of CDN $7,000,000 in five years (2018-2022) on the RepliCel programs and associated cell processing manufacturing facility in Greater China.

About the RepliCel (RCI-02) Injector Product Line

The RepliCel Injector Product Line is comprised of a desktop touchscreen control unit wired to a handheld electronic injector wand with a push-button trigger rather than a manual plunger. In addition to offering unparalleled electronic control and consistency of injection depth and dose, the injector includes a cooling element intended to cool the skin to minimize sensation prior to injection. The proprietary consumables include syringe cartridges, liners, and two different multi-needle heads. 

RepliCel management and advisors have engaged key clinical opinion leaders on the identification of high-value market applications for the device including the injection of various substances into the dermal and subcutaneous layers. Such substances include toxins, dermal fillers, drugs, biologics, PRP, fat, and cells. Potential uses for the devices include injections to treat hair loss, hyperhidrosis, migraines, skin aging/damage, skin pigmentation, and wounds, as well as cosmetic procedures such as skin rejuvenation, aesthetic sculpting, and reduction of fine wrinkles. 

Commercial and clinical-grade units of the consumables and injector are now in production. Once these units are available, functional and clinical testing will be launched for the purpose of gathering all necessary data to complete the submission to regulatory agencies seeking marketing approval. Plans are actively underway to pursue regulatory approvals for market launch initially in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, and Japan to be followed by other markets globally.

Our\r\n long-term experience with the FDA has allowed us to bring a wide variety of healthcare products to market in the\r\n United States and drive phenomenal year-over-year sales growth with early-stage and novel products. The RepliCel\r\n investment and distribution partnership represents an exciting opportunity for MainPointe Pharmaceuticals to move\r\n into the fast-growing spaces of regenerative medicine and next-generation injection delivery technology.\"

VANCOUVER, BC – July 15, 2020 - RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. (OTCQB: REPCF) (TSXV: RP) (FRA: P6P2)(“RepliCel” or the “Company”), a company developing next-generation technologies in aesthetics and orthopedics, announces that further to its News Release of June 19, 2020, it has closed a first tranche of its private placement offering (the “Offering”), pursuant to which it sold an aggregate of 3,649,110 units (each, a “Unit”), at a price of $0.18 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $656,839.80.  The Company intends on completing additional tranches of the Offering.

“We are very pleased with how this offering and the anticipated value creation from the intended use of proceeds is resonating with potential investors in the marketplace,” stated RepliCel CEO, R. Lee Buckler.  “Given the obligations regarding the completion of our outstanding audit and restoring the Company to full securities compliance, we wanted to close an early trance of this financing but we are nowhere near done. We anticipate closing on a larger tranche of funding shortly with investors who have already expressed commitments to participate. Such funding will ensure we are able to submit our application for marketing approval of our dermal injector, launch sales of the injector and consumables, and trigger the first milestone payment from our partner in Greater China”, concluded Mr. Buckler.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each, a “Share”) and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). One Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional Share of the Company at a price of $0.36 per Share for a period of three years from closing of the Offering, subject to an acceleration provision such that in the event that the Shares have a closing price on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) of greater than $0.45 per Share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days at any time after four months and one day from the closing of the Offering, RepliCel may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof and, in such case, the Warrants will expire on the 30th day after the date on which such notice is given to the holder.  

The Company did not pay any finder’s fees in connection with the Offering.

The securities issued under the Offering, and the shares that may be issuable on exercise of the Warrants, are subject to a statutory hold period expiring on November 16, 2020.

The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Offering will be used for general working capital focusing on completing the RepliCel dermal injector production and testing, pushing forward with regulatory clearances and partnerships in Japan for the skin and tendon programs, and restoring the company to full securities compliance while satisfying outstanding trade payables.

Andrew Schutte participated in the Offering.  Mr. Schutte’s participation constituted a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) but the issuance was exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in section 5.5(b) as the Company’s shares are not listed on a specified market and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration of the Units issued to the related party does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

None of the securities sold in connection with the Offering will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no such securities may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The Company also announces that, further to its News Release of June 25, 2020, it is increasing the amount of debt to be settled from $246,020 to $256,768.94 (the “Debt”) owed by the Company to certain creditors.  The number of common shares (each, a “Share”) of the Company to be issued in settlement of the Debt (the “Debt Settlement”) will be increased from 1,366,775 Shares to 1,426,491 Shares at a price of $0.18 per Share.  The Debt Settlement remains subject to Exchange approval.
