Addressing his departure from the Company, Mr. Rayat commented, “In addition to making a significant investment to finance the development of the Company’s breakthrough technology, I endeavored to find a highly competent CEO that could take RenovaCare to the next level. Over the last year, Alan and his expanded management team have exceeded both the Board’s expectations and mine, and their extensive experience and wide-ranging capabilities have now allowed me to devote more time to my family office portfolio. As a long-time stockholder, I remain an ardent supporter of Alan and his entire team and look forward to the day that the SkinGun™ becomes the treatment of choice for patients everywhere suffering from severe burns and wounds.”

“We wish Mr. Rayat continued success in his future business endeavors,” concluded Mr. Rubino.
