    Steve Cartt and Don Bailey have superb track records of creating substantial shareholder value over time by building successful, high growth pharmaceutical businesses, advancing products through the development process, and commercializing therapies that address conditions with high unmet therapeutic needs. In addition, Steve and Don have an extraordinary history of success working together to build significant shareholder value. Our Board is excited that both Steve and Don are joining Asterias in its efforts to realize the full potential of its AST-VAC1, AST-VAC2, and AST-OPC1 clinical programs.
