Item 5.08

Shareholder Director Nominations.

 

To the extent applicable, the information in Item 8.01 of this report is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.08.

 

Item 8.01.

Other Events.

 

Our board of directors has established July 30, 2019 as the date of our 2019 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”). This date is more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary of our 2018 annual meeting of shareholders, which was held on May 1, 2018. The record date for shareholders eligible to receive notice of and vote at the 2019 Annual Meeting will be June 10, 2019.

 

In light of the foregoing, and in accordance with our amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”), in order for shareholder proposals and director nominations to be presented at the 2019 Annual Meeting, the proposing shareholder must notify us of such intention by notice received at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on May 20, 2019. Shareholder proposals intended for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must be received at our principal executive offices no later than the close of business on May 20, 2019, which we believe is a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail proxy materials for the 2019 Annual Meeting.

 

All shareholder notices related to the 2019 Annual Meeting must conform to the applicable requirements of the Bylaws, the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and other applicable law. All such notices should be directed to: “BioTime, Inc., 1010 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 102, Alameda, California 94501, Attention: Secretary.”
