<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><B><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Geron Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Current Events </FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=Arial>FOSTER CITY, Calif.,</FONT></B><B><FONT size=2 face=Arial> August 6, 2020 --</FONT></B><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Geron Corporation (Nasdaq: GERN), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020. The Company will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss second quarter financial results and current events.  </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>&#8220;In the second quarter, we achieved a number of key milestones that have changed the trajectory of the Company,&#8221; said John A. Scarlett, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. &#8220;After a successful meeting with the FDA, we announced plans to move forward with a Phase 3 clinical trial in refractory MF with overall survival as the primary endpoint. This decision was based on overall survival data from the IMbark Phase 2 trial that suggest imetelstat treatment could potentially double the remaining life expectancy for patients who have become refractory to JAK inhibitors.&#8221; </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dr. Scarlett added, &#8220;We reported clinically meaningful transfusion independence with longer durability from more mature data in the IMerge Phase 2 trial in lower risk MDS, which included 29% of patients being transfusion-free for more than one year. We also raised additional capital in the second quarter that we expect will sufficiently fund our development plans for the ongoing Phase 3 IMerge trial in lower risk MDS and the upcoming Phase 3 trial in refractory MF into the second half of 2022. These achievements, along with our experienced development team, position Geron to become a leader in the treatment of hematologic myeloid malignancies over the next several years.&#8221; </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><U><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ongoing IMerge Phase 3 Clinical Trial in Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)</FONT></U></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As of the end of July 2020, approximately 93% of the 90 clinical sites originally planned for the trial were open for screening and enrollment, compared to 68% in May.  </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The momentum of patient enrollment has begun to improve as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic begin to wane in a majority of the countries where IMerge clinical sites are located. The Company continues to expect patient enrollment to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2021, subject to potential future delays or interruptions associated with COVID-19. To help ensure achievement of this goal, the trial is being expanded from 90 to approximately 130 clinical sites. Geron expects a majority of these 40 new sites to be open for enrollment by the end of the year. Under current enrollment assumptions, the Company continues to expect top-line results in the second half of 2022.  </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><U><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Start-Up Activities for Planned Phase 3 Clinical Trial in Myelofibrosis (MF)</FONT></U><FONT size=2 face=Arial> </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Geron expects to engage over 150 sites across North America, South America, Europe and Asia to participate in the planned global Phase 3 clinical trial in refractory MF. Trial start-up activities underway include identifying potential clinical sites for participation, as well as finalizing the clinical trial protocol. Geron plans to open the trial for screening and enrollment in the first quarter of 2021. Under current planning assumptions, Geron expects to complete patient enrollment in the second half of 2022, to conduct an interim analysis in the first half of 2023 and to conduct a final analysis in the first half of 2024.  </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><U><FONT size=2 face=Arial>European Commission Grants Orphan Drug Designation to Imetelstat for MDS</FONT></U><FONT size=2 face=Arial> </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>At the end of July, the European Commission granted orphan drug designation to imetelstat as a potential treatment for MDS based on a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products. Imetelstat has already been granted orphan drug designation by the United States Food and Drug Administration as a potential treatment for MDS. </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Recent Data Presentations in June </FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><U><FONT size=2 face=Arial>KOL Event Highlighted Compelling Phase 2 Data from the European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Congress</FONT></U></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Key opinion leaders within hematologic myeloid malignancies reprised four presentations containing new clinical data and analyses related to imetelstat from the Virtual Edition of the EHA Annual Congress. </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The recent EHA presentation of more mature data from 38 patients in the IMerge Phase 2 clinical trial in lower risk MDS reported notable continued durability, including a median duration of 8-week transfusion independence of 20 months, which is the longest duration reported to date in this trial. Also reported for the first time, 29% of the 38 patients were transfusion free for more than one year.  </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In addition, new analyses from the IMbark Phase 2 clinical trial in relapsed/refractory MF correlated the median overall survival observed in the trial with other clinical endpoints, such as improvement in fibrosis. These analyses provide further support for the planned Phase 3 clinical trial in refractory MF. </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Overall, the EHA data and analyses continue to support the potential disease-modifying activity with imetelstat treatment as evidenced by the clinically meaningful durable transfusion independence in the Phase 2 IMerge trial and the improvement in overall survival in the Phase 2 IMbark trial. </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Strengthened Balance Sheet to Achieve Development Plans  </FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As of June 30, 2020, Geron had approximately $265 million in cash, cash equivalents, and current and non-current marketable securities. The Company&#8217;s cash position reflects net proceeds of approximately $140 million from a public offering of securities in the second quarter. Based on current planning assumptions, the Company expects such funds to be sufficient for its operations into the second half of 2022 when top-line results for the IMerge Phase 3 clinical trial in lower risk MDS and completion of patient enrollment for the planned Phase 3 clinical trial in refractory MF are expected. </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Second Quarter and Year-to-Date 2020 Results </FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>For the second quarter of 2020, the Company reported a net loss of $15.8 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to $14.2 million, or $0.08 per share, for the comparable 2019 period. Net loss for the first six months of 2020 was $32.2 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to $24.3 million, or $0.13 per share, for the comparable 2019 period.  </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $43,000 and $95,000, respectively, compared to $101,000 and $158,000 for the comparable 2019 periods. Revenues in 2020 and 2019 primarily reflect estimated royalties from sales of cell-based research products from the Company&#8217;s divested stem cell assets. In connection with the divestiture of Geron&#8217;s human embryonic stem cell assets, including intellectual property and proprietary technology, to Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly BioTime, Inc., which acquired Asterias Biotherapeutics, Inc.) in 2013, Geron is entitled to receive royalties on future product sales. </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Total operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $16.8 million and $33.7 million, respectively, compared to $15.3 million and $26.7 million for the comparable 2019 periods.  </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $10.8 million and $21.6 million, respectively, compared to $10.1 million and $16.0 million for the comparable 2019 periods. The increase in research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily reflects higher clinical development costs associated with the IMerge Phase 3 clinical trial, increased costs in connection with validating the imetelstat manufacturing process at contract manufacturers and higher personnel-related costs for additions to the development team in 2019. </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $6.0 million and $12.1 million, respectively, compared to $5.2 million and $10.6 million for the comparable 2019 periods. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to same periods in 2019, primarily reflects increased personnel-related expenses for additional general and administrative headcount to support growing operational activities.  </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Interest and other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $475,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, compared to $1.1 million and $2.3 million for the comparable 2019 periods. The decrease in interest and other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to same periods in 2019, primarily reflects lower yields on the Company&#8217;s reduced marketable securities portfolio. </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=Arial>2020 Financial Guidance Reaffirmed </FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The Company expects its 2020 operating expense burn to range from $70 to $75 million. This guidance reflects cash conservation measures implemented in April due to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as suspending travel and postponing a planned imetelstat proof of concept study. It also reflects new costs for start-up activities associated with the planned Phase 3 clinical trial in refractory MF and additional costs for the expansion of clinical sites for the IMerge Phase 3 clinical trial.   </FONT></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B><FONT size=2 face=Arial>About Imetelstat  </FONT></B></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Imetelstat is a novel, first-in-class telomerase inhibitor exclusively owned by Geron and being developed in hematologic myeloid malignancies. Early clinical data suggest imetelstat may have disease-modifying activity through the apoptosis of malignant stem and progenitor cells, which allows potential recovery of normal hematopoiesis. Geron&#8217;s imetelstat development program includes two registration-enabling studies, IMerge, an ongoing Phase 2/3 clinical trial in lower risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and a planned Phase 3 clinical trial in refractory myelofibrosis (MF) expected to be open for patient screening and enrollment in the first quarter of 2021. Imetelstat has been granted Fast Track designation by the United States Food and Drug Administration for both the treatment of patients with non-del(5q) lower risk MDS who are refractory or resistant to an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent and for patients with Intermediate-2 or High-risk MF whose disease has relapsed after or is refractory to janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor treatment. </FONT></P>
