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.

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.

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.

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.
Primary Deal Terms
The exclusive distribution rights shall commence upon receipt of regulatory approval to launch the RepliCel Injector Product Line in the U.S. market and continue for a period expiring on the earlier (a) four (4) years, or (b) when MainPointe has earned a minimum return of USD $2,000,000 plus certain defined cost recoveries in gross income from the sale of the products in the RepliCel Injector Product Line. The Company will have the right, in its discretion, to buy out this exclusivity right for an amount equal to the net-present value of profit to be earned on USD $2,000,000 in gross income.
The royalty right will be equal to (a) 5% of the amounts earned by and paid to the Company from the sale of any of its “NBDS Products” defined as its RCS-01 (NBDS Fibroblast Therapy – Treatment for Aging Skin), RCT-01 (NBDS Fibroblast Therapy – Treatment for Chronic Tendinosis), and any other product which is comprised of the non-bulbar dermal sheath cells patented by the Company, and (b) 20% of the amounts earned by and paid to the Company from the sale of any of its \"DSC Products\" defined as its RCH-01 (DSC Therapy for Treatment Androgenic Alopecia) and any other product which is comprised of the dermal sheath cup cells patented by the Company. The term of the Royalty Participation Agreement will continue until MainPointe has been paid USD $16,000,000 in royalties, unless it is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.
Closing of the transactions pursuant to the agreements is subject to receipt of approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
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.

As part of the partnership, MainPointe has agreed to pay all costs related to securing FDA\r\n approvals to launch the RepliCel Injector Product Line in the U.S. market.
\r\nThe partnership with MainPointe would represent RepliCel's first footprint in the U.S. market and the Company's\r\n second distribution partnership for its near-commercial RepliCel Injector Product Line. RepliCel's partner, YOFOTO\r\n (China) Health is committed to being the distributor of the RepliCel Injector Product Line in Greater China, where it\r\n will first launch in Hong Kong after either European or American regulatory approval is obtained and registered in the\r\n Chinese territory. This regulatory registration will also trigger a $500,000 milestone payment to RepliCel.
\r\nLee Buckler, CEO of RepliCel commented, \"We are very pleased with the opportunity this partnership with a\r\n US-based shareholder and experienced healthcare distributor represents. The injection of capital from MainPointe\r\n will finance both the European and U.S. commercialization of our Dermal Injector Product Line, as well as completing\r\n the final steps needed to prepare for clinical testing of our skin and tendon regeneration cell therapy products in\r\n Japan. In combination with YOFOTO’s product development activity in China, we believe this represents a very\r\n significant series of milestones over the coming months.\"
\r\nJohn Schutte, CEO of MainPointe commented, \"As a serial healthcare entrepreneur, an investor, and the founder CEO\r\n of MainPointe Pharmaceuticals, I am proud of our track record in identifying high-value products which are backed by\r\n great science and positioned for our team’s regulatory and sales expertise in commercial value creation. 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.\"
\r\nPrimary Deal Terms
\r\nIn consideration for an investment of CAD $2,700,000 and the payment of all costs related to obtaining FDA approval\r\n for Company's dermal injector and consumables, RepliCel has agreed to issue MainPointe up to an aggregate of four (4)\r\n million common shares, a right to participate in RepliCel's royalty revenue stream up to a defined ceiling, and\r\n certain distribution rights of RepliCel Injector Product Line in the United States.

The common shares will be priced at the greater of CAD $0.675 or the Discounted Market Price as such term\r\n is defined in the Policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
\r\nThe royalty right will be equal to (a) 5% of the amounts earned by and paid to the Company from the sale of any of\r\n its “NBDS Products” defined as its RCS-01 (NBDS Fibroblast Therapy – Treatment for Aging Skin), RCT-01 (NBDS\r\n Fibroblast Therapy – Treatment for Chronic Tendinosis), and any other product which is comprised of the non-bulbar\r\n dermal sheath cells patented by the Company, and (b) 20% of the amounts earned by and paid to the Company from the\r\n sale of any of its \"DSC Products\" defined as its RCH-01 (DSC Therapy for Treatment Androgenic Alopecia) and any other\r\n product which is comprised of the dermal sheath cup cells patented by the Company.
\r\nIn consideration for paying all expenses required to obtain regulatory approval for the RepliCel Injector Product\r\n Line, the exclusive distribution rights shall commence upon receipt of regulatory approval to launch the RepliCel\r\n Injector Product Line in the U.S. market for a period expiring on the earlier (a) four (4) years, or (ii) when\r\n MainPointe has earned USD $2,000,000 in gross income from the sale of the products in the RepliCel Injector Product\r\n Line. The Company will have the right, in its discretion, to buy out this exclusivity right for an amount equal\r\n to the net-present value of profit to be earned on USD $2,000,000 in gross income.

\r\nAbout the RepliCel (RCI-02) Injector Product Line
\r\nThe RepliCel Injector Product Line is comprised of a desktop touchscreen control unit wired to a handheld electronic\r\n injector wand with a push-button trigger rather than a manual plunger. In addition to offering unparalleled electronic\r\n control and consistency of injection depth and dose, the injector includes a cooling element intended to cool the skin\r\n to minimize sensation prior to injection. The proprietary consumables include two different multi-needle heads,\r\n syringe cartridges, and liners.
\r\nRepliCel management and advisors have engaged key clinical opinion leaders on the identification of high-value market\r\n applications for the device including the injection of various substances into the dermal and subcutaneous layers.\r\n Such substances include toxins, dermal fillers, drugs, biologics, PRP, fat, and cells. Potential uses for the devices\r\n include injections to treat hair loss, hyperhidrosis, migraines, skin aging/damage, skin pigmentation, and wounds, as\r\n well as cosmetic procedures such as skin rejuvenation, aesthetic sculpting, and reduction of fine wrinkles.
\r\nCommercial and clinical-grade units of the consumables and injector are now in production. Once these units are\r\n available, functional and clinical testing will be launched for the purpose of gathering all necessary data to\r\n complete the submission to regulatory agencies seeking marketing approval. Plans are actively underway to pursue\r\n regulatory approvals for market launch initially in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, and Japan to be followed by\r\n other markets globally.

Subject to the earlier conversion by shareholders and compliance with applicable laws, the Company may, in its discretion at any time, prior to the date that is five (5) years from the date of issuance of the Class A Shares (the “Required Redemption Date”) redeem all of the Class A Shares at a price (the “Redemption Price”) of: (i) $0.468 per Class A Share for the period from the date of issuance (the “Issue Date”) to the date that is the first anniversary of the Issue Date; (ii) $0.536 for the period from the date that is the day after the first anniversary of the Issue Date to the date that is the second anniversary of the Issue Date; (iii) $0.604 for the period from the date that is the day after the second anniversary of the Issue Date to the date that is the third anniversary of the Issue Date; (iv) $0.672 for the period from the date that is the day after the third anniversary of the Issue Date to the date that is the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date; and (v) $0.740 for the period from the date that is the day after the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date and the date that is the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date. On the Required Redemption Date, the Issuer must redeem all remaining outstanding Class A Shares at the Redemption Price, subject to compliance with applicable laws.
The proceeds of the Offering will be used to secure certain regulatory approvals for, and to launch certain products currently in development by the Company and for general working capital purposes.
The Company paid $19,652 cash finder’s fees to one finder.
All of the Class A Shares issued in this tranche, and any securities into which they may be exchanged or converted, are subject to resale restrictions imposed by applicable law or regulation, a statutory hold period expiring on January 11, 2020.
Each of Andrew Schutte, Peter Lewis and David Hall (collectively, the “Insiders”) participated in the Offering. The Insider’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 each 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 Class A Shares issued to the related party does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
None of the securities issued in connection with the Offering will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and none of them may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
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 product pipeline is comprised of RCT-01 for tendon repair, RCS-01 for skin rejuvenation, and RCH-01 for hair restoration. RCH-01 is exclusively licensed in Asia to Shiseido Company. RepliCel and Shiseido are currently co-developing the product in Japan. RepliCel maintains the 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.
