<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><FONT style="font-size: 10pt"><B>NEWARK, CA, July&nbsp;18, 2014 </B>(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#150; StemCells, Inc. (Nasdaq:STEM), today announced
that it has closed its previously announced offering of common stock and short term warrants. The
Company sold a total of 11,299,435 units to two well recognized institutional biotechnology
investors and received total proceeds, net of offering expenses and placement agent fees, of
approximately $18.7&nbsp;million. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant to
purchase 0.85 of a share of common stock at a price of $1.77 per unit. The warrants will first be
exercisable six months from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $2.17 per share.
The warrants will expire at the close of business on August&nbsp;17, 2015.
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;Two sophisticated investors approached us to provide $20&nbsp;million of capital based upon the
strength of our interim clinical data, and our ongoing translation agenda,&#148; said Greg Schiffman,
chief financial officer of StemCells, Inc. &#147;Moreover, this transaction was structured with a short
term warrant which provides the investors with the potential to provide approximately $20&nbsp;million
in additional capital next year. The proceeds from this financing, combined with the funds from the
warrants, should they be exercised, would provide sufficient capital to finance our projected 2015
operating expenditures, by which time we expect to have final data from our Phase I/II clinical
programs in spinal cord injury and dry age related macular degeneration and should have initiated
controlled proof of concept Phase II clinical programs in both of these indications.&#148;

</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">StemCells, Inc. is engaged in the research, development, and commercialization of cell-based
therapeutics and tools for use in stem cell-based research and drug discovery. The Company&#146;s lead
therapeutic product candidate, HuCNS-SC<sup>&#174;</sup> cells (purified human neural stem cells), is
currently in development as a potential treatment for a broad range of central nervous system
disorders.&nbsp;In a Phase&nbsp;I clinical trial in Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD), a fatal myelination
disorder in children, the Company has shown preliminary evidence of progressive and durable
donor-derived myelination in all four patients transplanted with HuCNS-SC cells.&nbsp;The Company
conducted a Phase I/II clinical trial in chronic spinal cord injury in Switzerland, Canada and the
United States, and has reported positive interim data for the first eight patients.&nbsp;The Company is
also conducting a Phase I/II clinical trial in dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD)&nbsp;in the
United States. In addition, the Company is pursuing preclinical studies in Alzheimer&#146;s disease,
with support from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM).&nbsp;&nbsp;StemCells also
markets stem cell research products, including media and reagents, under the SC Proven<sup>&#174;</sup>
brand.&nbsp;Further information about StemCells is available at <U>http://www.stemcellsinc.com</U>.

use of net proceeds; the sufficiency of the proceeds from the offering together with proceeds from
the exercise of the warrants, if any, to fund 2015 operating expenditures; and the prospect for
continued clinical development of the Company&#146;s HuCNS-SC cells in CNS disorders including the
prospect of initiating Phase II clinical studies in dry age related macular degeneration and spinal
cord injury. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this news release. The

circumstances that occur after the date hereof. Such statements reflect management&#146;s current views
and are based on certain assumptions that may or may not ultimately prove valid. The Company&#146;s
actual results may vary materially from those contemplated in such forward-looking statements due

the treatment of any disease or disorder; uncertainty as to whether the FDA or other applicable
regulatory agencies or review boards will permit the Company to continue clinical testing in AMD or
spinal cord injury; uncertainties regarding the timing and duration of any clinical trials;
uncertainties regarding the Company&#146;s ability to recruit the patients required to conduct its
clinical trials or to obtain meaningful results; uncertainties regarding the Company&#146;s ability to
obtain the increased capital resources needed to continue its current and planned research and

increasing preclinical and clinical commitments; uncertainty as to whether HuCNS-SC cells and any
products that may be generated in the future in the Company&#146;s cell-based programs will prove safe
and clinically effective and not cause tumors or other adverse side effects; uncertainties
regarding the Company&#146;s ability to commercialize a therapeutic product and its ability to
successfully compete with other products on the market; and other factors that are described under
