As consideration for the license rights, Geron paid Angiochem an upfront payment of $7.5 million in cash and agreed to issue $27.5 million of shares of Geron common stock, subject to a maximum of 9,000,000 shares. </font></div>

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Geron is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (the &#8220;Angiochem S-3&#8221;) within five (5) business days of the issuance of the Angiochem Shares to register the Angiochem Shares for resale. The terms of the Purchase Agreement prohibit Angiochem from disposing of the Angiochem Shares or swapping, hedging or selling short shares of Geron common stock or securities convertible into or
 exercisable or exchangeable for Geron common stock until the later of (a) the effectiveness of the Angiochem S-3 or (b) the expiration of the Financing Lock-Up (the &#8220;Angiochem Lock-Up Period&#8221;). The Financing Lock-Up represents the sixty (60) day period beginning on December 7, 2010, the date of the final prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the sale of Geron&#8217;s Common Stock in its December 2010 underwritten public offering, and is subject to extension in certain circumstances. After expiration of the Angiochem Lock-Up Period, sales by Angiochem of the Angiochem Shares are subject to certain monthly volume restrictions.</font></div>
