(OTC PINK: BSEM) (“BSEM” or “Company”) announced today the engagement of investment banking firm Young America Capital as an advisor for the Company’s upcoming 15 Million dollar, Reg D, 506(c) private placement offering.
“Over the past year, BioStem Tech has made impressive progress with the completion of our state of the art biotech lab and the launch of our pharmaceutical division” said Henry Van Vurst, the Company’s CEO. “Given that progress, we believe that the time is right to engage an award winning investment banking advisory firm to help us secure the growth capital we need for the next stage of the Company’s development; and YAC’s track record in growth capital funding speaks for itself.”
The $15 million offering will be open not only to individual accredited investors, but also to qualified institutional buyers (“QIB’s”) through YAC, under Rule 144(a) safe harbor, which permits QIBs to trade such securities among themselves. “The exciting thing about this is that as we prepare to uplist to the QX we will also move upstream to institutional buyers for our corporate financing needs”, said Mr. Van Vurst.

We think the time is right for the convergence of pharmaceuticals and regenerative medicine and we believe that BioStem is pursuing a winning strategy.
