This presentation is intended to present a summary of ACT’s (“ACT”, or “Advanced Cell

Technology Inc”, or “the Company”) salient business characteristics.

The information herein contains “forward-looking statements” as defined under the

federal securities laws. Actual results could vary materially. Factors that could cause

actual results to vary materially are described in our filings with the Securities and

Exchange Commission.

You should pay particular attention to the “risk factors” contained in documents we file

from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks identified

therein, as well as others not identified by the Company, could cause the Company’s

actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking

statements. Ropes Gray

Structure of Retina

The Retina the light-sensitive

tissue lining the inner surface of

the eye

Retina

Page 5: ARM's Regen Med Investor Day, New York City, April 17, 2013

Life Support to Photoreceptors

Provides nutrients and growth factors

• photoreceptors see no blood

Recycles Vitamin A

• maintains photoreceptor excitability

Detoxifies photoreceptor layer

Maintains Bruch’s Membrane

• natural antiangiogenic barrier

• immune privilege of retina

Absorbs stray light / protects from UV

RPE Layer has

multiple critical roles

in the

health and function

of photoreceptors and the retina as a whole.

Life Support to Photoreceptors

Failure of RPE cells results in many degenerative diseases

Stargardt’s disease

Myopic Macular Dystrophy

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

RPE Therapy- Rationale

• Massive unmet medical need

• Easy to identify – aids manufacturing

• Small dosage size – less than 200K cells

• Immune-privileged site - minimal immunosuppression

• Ease of administration - no separate device approval

• Unique measuring and observation environment

Procedure:

• 25 Gauge Pars Plana Vitrectomy

• Posterior Vitreous Separation

• Subretinal hESC-derived RPE cells

injection

• Bleb Confirmation

• Day Surgery/Sedation

Page 12: ARM's Regen Med Investor Day, New York City, April 17, 2013

Preliminary Results

12

No Adverse Events

No signs of hyperproliferation,

abnormal growth, rejection or retinal

detachment.

Persistence of cells

Anatomical evidence of hESC-RPE

survival and engraftment.

Increased pigmentation within the bed

of the transplant.

Impact on Acuity

Recorded functional visual

improvements in both patients.

Preliminary Results

15

• Varying degrees of improvement in visual acuity across

patients

Persistence for 18+ months in first patients • Increased letters on ETDRS Charts

• Color perception

• Contrast

• Low light vision

These are very late stage patients with a high degree of

heterogeneity in degree of “rescueable” photoreceptors

Based on safety and functional data from first 18 patients,

FDA has approved new 4 patient cohorts in each trial.

Best Vision Inclusion Criteria for new Cohort 2a

includes patients with vision as good as 20/100.

RPE Program Milestone Objectives

18

Key upcoming milestones

• Continue to treat and review patient data

• Treat earlier stage disease to determine

curative power of dissociated cell injections

• Define efficacy endpoints and targeted

patient visual criteria

• Simplify shipping and cell-prep to enhance

scaled distribution platform

Expanding Clinical Programs

19

Myopia creates a higher risk of permanent vision loss due

to Myopic Macular Degeneration (MMD)

• Severe near-sightedness causes elongation of the eyeball --

which can cause fissures in RPE layer.
