Cord Blood America, Inc.

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / May 17, 2018 / Cord Blood America, Inc. (www.cordblood-america.com) (OTC PINK: CBAI) ("CBAI" or the "Company") today announced that it has closed its previously announced definitive asset purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with California Cryobank Stem Cell Services LLC ("FamilyCord"), pursuant to which FamilyCord has acquired substantially all of the assets of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and assumed certain liabilities of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Of the $15.5 million purchase price, FamilyCord paid $12.5 million in cash at closing, with $3.0 million of the purchase price deposited into escrow to secure the Company's indemnification obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, upon the closing of the transaction, the articles of incorporation of the Company were amended to change the name of the Company to "CBA, Inc."

As previously announced, following completion of the transaction, CBAI intends to distribute a portion of the sale proceeds to its shareholders. The initial distribution amount, anticipated to occur within the next ninety days, will be determined by CBAI's board of directors and will be subject to such factors as taxes payable, operating expenses and estimates of other known and unknown contingencies and uses of cash. Additional monies may be distributed over time based on cash available and the release of known and unknown liabilities. Given cash needed for the aforementioned expenses and contingencies, total proceeds paid out to shareholders are expected to be significantly less than the gross purchase price.
