PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held on Wednesday, December 29, 2021

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS

AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

Q: Why have I received this Proxy Statement?

AgeX Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AgeX", "we", "us", "our") is holding its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, December 29, 2021 at AgeX's principal offices located at 1101 Marina Village Parkway, Suite 201., Alameda, California, for the purposes stated in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting, which include (1) electing directors, (2) ratifying the appointment of our independent registered public accountants, and (3) to seek approval of an amendment to the AgeX 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") to make an additional 500,000 shares of common stock available for equity awards (the "Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal"). At the Meeting, our management will also report on current operations, and there will be an opportunity for discussion concerning AgeX and its activities. This Proxy Statement contains information about those matters, relevant information about the Meeting, and other information that we are required to include in a Proxy Statement under the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") regulations.

Q: Who is soliciting my proxy?

The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of AgeX for use at the Meeting.

Q: Who is entitled to vote at the Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on November 15, 2021, which has been designated as the "record date," are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. On that date, there were 37,939,176 shares of AgeX common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding, which constitute the only class of AgeX voting securities outstanding.

Q: What percentage of the vote is required to elect directors or to approve the other matters that are being presented for a vote by stockholders?

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting. Ratifying the appointment of our independent registered public accountants and approving the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock represented and voting at the Meeting at which a quorum is present, provided that the shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum. A quorum consists of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Q: How many votes do my shares represent?

Each share of AgeX common stock is entitled to one vote in all matters. Stockholders are not entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors.

Q: What are my choices when voting?

In the election of directors, you may vote for all nominees or you may withhold your vote from one or more nominees. For the vote to ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accountants you may vote for the proposal, vote against the proposal, or abstain from voting on the proposal. Properly executed proxies in the accompanying form that are received at or before the Meeting will be voted in accordance with the directions noted on the proxies.

Q: What if I abstain from voting on a matter?

If you check the "abstain" box in the proxy form, or if you attend the Meeting without submitting a proxy and you abstain from voting on a matter, or if your shares are subject to a "broker non-vote" on a matter, your shares will be deemed to have not voted on that matter in determining whether the matter has received an affirmative vote sufficient for approval. Please see "What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted?" below for additional information about broker non-votes.

Q: Can I change my vote after I submit my proxy form?

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted. If you are a stockholder of record and you wish to revoke your proxy you must do one of the following things:

deliver to the Secretary of AgeX a written revocation; or
deliver to the Secretary of AgeX a signed proxy bearing a date subsequent to the date of the proxy being revoked; or
attend the Meeting and vote in person or through internet voting during online participation.
1

If you are a "beneficial owner" of shares "held in street name" you should follow the directions provided by your broker or other nominee regarding how to revoke your proxy.

Q: Can I still attend and vote at the Meeting if I submit a proxy?

You may attend the Meeting and vote in person or online whether or not you have previously submitted a proxy. If you previously gave a proxy, your attendance at the Meeting or online will not revoke your proxy unless you also vote in person at the Meeting or you vote through internet voting during your online participation at the Meeting.

Q: How can I vote at the Meeting?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote your shares at the Meeting by completing a ballot at the Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record and you attend the Meeting online, you may vote your shares at the Meeting in the manner provided for internet voting. However, if you are a "street name" holder, you may vote your shares in person or online only if you obtain a signed proxy from your broker or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares. Please refer to additional information in the "HOW TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING" portion of this Proxy Statement.

Even if you currently plan to attend the Meeting in person or online, we recommend that you also submit your proxy first so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Meeting.

Q: What are the Board of Directors' recommendations?

The Board of Directors recommends that our stockholders vote FOR (1) each nominee for election as a director, (2) approval of the appointment of WithumSmith + Brown PC ("Withum") as our independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021; and (3) approval of the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal.

Q: What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted?

Stockholders of Record. If you are a stockholder of record and you sign and return a proxy form that does not specify how you want your shares voted on a matter, your shares will be voted FOR (1) each nominee for election as a director, (2) approval of the appointment of Withum as our independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021; and (3) approval of the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal.

Beneficial Owners. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide your broker or other nominee with voting instructions, the broker or other nominee will determine if it has the discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter. Under the rules of the various national and regional securities exchanges, brokers and other nominees holding your shares may vote on certain routine matters, including the approval of the appointment of our independent registered public accountants, but cannot vote in the election of directors or on the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal. If you hold your shares in street name and you do not instruct your broker or other nominee how to vote on those matters as to which brokers and nominees are not permitted to vote without your instructions, no votes will be cast on your behalf on those matters. This is generally referred to as a "broker non-vote."

Q: What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Stockholder of Record. You are a stockholder of record if at the close of business on the record date your shares were registered directly in your name with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, our transfer agent.

Beneficial Owner. You are a beneficial owner if at the close of business on the record date your shares were held in the name of a brokerage firm or other nominee and not in your name. Being a beneficial owner means that, like most of our stockholders, your shares are held in "street name." As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions your broker or other nominee provides. If you do not provide your broker or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares, your broker or nominee will be able to vote your shares with respect to some of the proposals, but not all. Please see "What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted?" above for additional information.

Q: What if any matters not mentioned in the Notice of Annual Meeting or this Proxy Statement come up for vote at the Meeting?

The Board of Directors does not intend to present any business for a vote at the Meeting other than the matters set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, no stockholder has notified us of any other business that may properly come before the Meeting. If other matters requiring the vote of the stockholders properly come before the Meeting, then it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy to vote the proxy held by them in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

2

The enclosed proxy confers discretionary authority to vote with respect to any and all of the following matters that may come before the Meeting: (1) matters that the Board of Directors did not know, a reasonable time before the mailing of the notice of the Meeting, would be presented at the Meeting; and (2) matters incidental to the conduct of the Meeting.

Q: Who will bear the cost of soliciting proxies for use at the Meeting?

AgeX will bear all of the costs of the solicitation of proxies for use at the Meeting. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by a personal interview, telephone, or electronic communication by our directors, officers, and employees, who will undertake such activities without additional compensation. Banks, brokerage houses, and other institutions, nominees, or fiduciaries will be requested to forward the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the common stock held of record by such persons and entities and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expense incurred in connection with forwarding such material.

Q: How can I attend and vote at the Meeting?

If you plan on attending the Meeting in person or online, please read the "HOW TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING" section of this Proxy Statement for information about the documents you will need to bring with you to gain admission to the Meeting and to vote your shares in person or how to attend and participate in the Meeting online.

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are first being sent or given to our stockholders on or about November 29, 2021.

ELIMINATING DUPLICATE MAILINGS

AgeX has adopted a procedure called "householding." Under this procedure, we may deliver a single copy of this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report to multiple stockholders who share the same address, unless we receive contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces the environmental impact of our annual meetings and reduces our printing and mailing costs. We will deliver separate copies of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report to each stockholder sharing a common address if they notify us that they wish to receive separate copies. If you wish to receive a separate copy of the Proxy Statement or Annual Report, you may contact us by telephone at (510) 671-8370, or by mail at 1101 Marina Village Parkway, Suite 201., Alameda, California 94501. You may also contact us at the above phone number or address if you are presently receiving multiple copies of the Proxy Statement, and Annual Report but would prefer to receive a single copy instead.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the Meeting, four (4) directors will be elected to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Three of the nominees, Gregory Bailey, Michael May, and Michael D. West, are incumbent directors, and Joanne Hackett is a new nominee who has been selected by our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee to join our Board of Directors if elected by our stockholders at the Meeting.

It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy, unless the proxy specifies otherwise, to vote the shares represented by such proxy FOR the election of the nominees listed below. In the unlikely event that any nominee should be unable to serve as a director, proxies may be voted in favor of a substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, your broker or other nominee will not be allowed to vote in the election of directors unless you instruct your broker or other nominee how to vote on the form that the broker or nominee provided to you.

Directors and Nominees

The names and ages of our directors and other nominees for election as directors are:

Gregory H. Bailey, M.D., 66, joined our Board of Directors in August 2018 and became the Chairman of our Board of Directors in October 2018. Dr. Bailey is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Juvenescence Limited, a privately held company focused on the development of therapies for ageing and age-related diseases. Dr. Bailey is also a director of Manx Financial Group, plc, BioHaven Inc, SalvaRx Inc and Portage Biotech. Dr. Bailey has founded and served as a director of a number of private and public companies and previously served as a managing partner of Palantir Group, Inc., a merchant bank involved in a number of biotech company startups and financings. Dr. Bailey practiced emergency medicine for ten years before entering finance. Dr. Bailey received his M.D. from the University of Western Ontario. We believe that Dr. Bailey is qualified to serve on our Board based on his years of experience in medicine and as an executive and in finance for the biotechnology industry.

Joanne M. Hackett, Ph.D., 43, is the Head of Genomic and Precision Medicine at IQVIA. IQVIA is a world leader in using data, technology, advanced analytics, and expertise to help customers drive healthcare forward.

Genomics England is owned by the Department of Health and Social Care in the United Kingdom. During 2016 and 2017 Dr. Hackett served as Chief Commercial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Precision Medicine Catapult, which was established in the United Kingdom with the goal of developing, delivering and commercializing precision medicine.

Dr. Hackett holds a PhD in Molecular Genetics from the University of New Brunswick. Dr. Hackett's years of experience in genomics and regenerative medicine with a focus on commercialization of new therapies and technologies makes her an excellent candidate to serve on our Board of Directors.

Michael H. May, Ph.D., 53, joined our Board of Directors during August 2019. Dr. May is President and Chief Executive Officer of CCRM (Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine) and CEO of CCRM Enterprises Inc. and CCRM Enterprises Holdings Inc. CCRM is a public- private consortium founded under Canada's Centres of Excellence for Commercialization and Research Program to generate sustainable health and economic benefits through global collaboration in cell and gene therapy, and regenerative medicine. Dr. May co-founded Rimon Therapeutics Ltd., a Toronto- based tissue engineering company developing novel medical polymers that possess drug-like activity, and served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Rimon from 2000 to 2006, and President and Chief Operating Officer from 2006 to 2010. Dr. May serves on a number of boards of directors and advisory committees in the field of stem cell research and regenerative medicine, including at the International Society for Cell Therapy (ISCT) and the ARM Foundation for Cell & Gene Medicine (ARMF). Dr. May completed his PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Toronto in 1998 as an NSERC Scholar and was awarded the Martin Walmsley Fellowship for Technological Entrepreneurship. We believe that Dr. May is qualified to serve on our Board based on his years of experience in tissue engineering and the fields of stem cell research and regenerative medicine.

Michael D. West, Ph.D., 68, joined the Board of Directors during January 2017 and has served as our Chief Executive Officer since that date. Dr. West was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly BioTime, Inc.) during October 2007 and then served as Co-Chief Executive Officer from October 2015 until September 2018. Dr. West also served as interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Asterias Biotherapeutics, Inc. from April 2014 to June 2014, and as Vice President of Technology Integration of Asterias until December 2015. Dr. West served as a director of: Lineage from 2002 until September 2018; Asterias from 2012 until September 2018; and Oncocyte Corporation from 2013 to 2016. Prior to becoming Chief Executive Officer of Lineage, Dr. West served as Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Scientific Officer of Ocata Therapeutics, Inc., a company engaged in developing human stem cell technology for use in regenerative medicine. Dr. West also founded Geron Corporation of Menlo Park, California, and from 1990 to 1998, he was a Director and Vice-President, where he initiated and managed programs in telomerase diagnostics, oligonucleotide-based telomerase inhibition as anti-tumor therapy, and the cloning and use of telomerase in telomerase-mediated therapy wherein telomerase is utilized to immortalize human cells. From 1995 to 1998 he organized and managed the research between Geron and its academic collaborators, James Thomson and John Gearhart, which led to the first isolation of human embryonic stem and human embryonic germ cells. Dr. West received a B.S. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1976, an M.S. in Biology from Andrews University in 1982, and a Ph.D. from Baylor College of Medicine in 1989 concentrating on the biology of cellular aging. Dr. West is an internationally renowned pioneer and expert in stem cell research, and we believe that he is qualified to serve on our Board based on his years of executive experience in the fields of stem cell research and regenerative medicine.

Previous Arrangement for the Designation of Directors

Pursuant to a Stockholders Agreement between our former parent company Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. ("Lineage"), formerly known as BioTime, Inc., and our current largest stockholder Juvenescence Limited ("Juvenescence"), Lineage had the right to designate two members of our Board of Directors and Juvenescence had the right to designate three members of our Board of Directors. Under the Stockholders Agreement, the remaining members of the Board of Directors were to be independent of Lineage and Juvenescence and mutually agreed to and designated by Lineage and Juvenescence. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Juvenescence designated Gregory Bailey and Annalisa Jenkins as directors. Lineage had previously appointed Michael D. West and Michael H. Mulroy as directors. The Stockholders Agreement is no longer in effect, having expired on November 28, 2018 when Lineage distributed to its stockholders, on a pro rata basis, 12,697,028 shares of the AgeX common stock it then held.

Director Independence

Gregory Bailey, Joanne Hackett and Michael May qualify as "independent" in accordance with Section 803(A) of the NYSE American Company Guide. Annalisa Jenkins, whose term as a director will expire at the Meeting, and John Mauldin who served as director during a portion of 2020, also qualified as independent under that standard. Mr. Mauldin stepped off the Board of Directors during March 2020. The members of our Audit Committee meet the additional independence standards under Section 803(B)(2) of the NYSE American Company Guide and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The members of our Compensation Committee meet the additional independence standards under Section 805(c)(1) of the NYSE American Company Guide. Our independent directors received no compensation or remuneration during the last fiscal year for serving as directors except as disclosed under "DIRECTOR COMPENSATION." None of the independent directors, nor any of the members of their respective families, have participated in any transaction with us that would disqualify them as "independent" directors under the standards described above.

Michael D. West does not qualify as "independent" because he serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Gregory Bailey does not meet the independence standard for service on the Audit Committee under Exchange Act Rule 10A-3 because he is the Chief Executive Officer of Juvenescence Limited, which is our largest stockholder and owns more than 43% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Directors' Meetings

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, our Board of Directors met sixteen times. None of our current directors attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees on which they served during their terms as directors. Directors are also encouraged to attend our annual meetings of stockholders, although they are not formally required to do so.

Meetings of Non-Management Directors

Our non-management directors met periodically in executive session, without any directors who are AgeX officers or employees present. These meetings allowed the non-management directors to engage in open and frank discussions about corporate governance and about our business, operations, finances, and management performance.

Stockholder Communications with Directors

If you wish to communicate with the Board of Directors or with individual directors, you may do so by following the procedure described on our website www.agexinc.com.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics ("Code of Ethics") that applies to our principal executive officers, our principal financial officer and accounting officer, our other executive officers, and our directors. The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to promote (i) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (ii) full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with or submit to the SEC and in our other public communications; (iii) compliance with applicable governmental rules and regulations; (iv) prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Ethics; and (v) accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics. A copy of our Code of Ethics has been posted on our internet website and can be found at www.agexinc.com. We intend to disclose any future amendments to certain provisions of our Code of Ethics, and any waivers of those provisions granted to our principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, by posting the information on our website within four business days following the date of the amendment or waiver.

Board Leadership Structure

Our leadership structure bifurcates the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. In other words, although our Chief Executive Officer is a member of our Board, Gregory Bailey currently serves as Chairman of the Board. AgeX believes that the Chairman can provide support and advice to the Chief Executive Officer and can lead the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities. The Chairman of the Board serves as an active liaison between the Board and our Chief Executive Officer and our other senior management. The Chairman of the Board also interfaces with our other non-management directors with respect to matters such as the members and chairs of Board committees, other corporate governance matters, and strategic planning.

The Board's Role in Risk Management

The Board has an active role, as a whole, in overseeing management of the risks of our business. The Board regularly reviews information regarding our credit, liquidity, and operations, as well as the risks associated with our research and development activities and our plans to expand our business. The Audit Committee provides oversight of our financial reporting processes and the annual audit of our financial statements. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews and must approve any business transactions between AgeX and its executive officers, directors, and stockholders who beneficially own 5% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock.

Hedging Transactions

We have adopted a policy that prohibits our directors and our officers and other employees from purchasing financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or to otherwise engage in transactions that hedge or offset, or that are designed to hedge or offset, risks of any decrease in the market value of our common stock or other equity securities granted to the employee or director as part of their compensation, or held, directly or indirectly, by the employee or director.

Committees of the Board

Audit Committee

The members of the Audit Committee are Annalisa Jenkins and Michael H. May. Dr. Jenkins will leave the Audit Committee when her term as a director expires at the Meeting, and our Board of Directors intends to add Joanne Hackett to the Audit Committee if she is elected as a director by our stockholders. John Mauldin also served as a member of the Audit Committee during a portion of 2020. The Audit Committee held five meetings during 2020. The purpose of the Audit Committee is to recommend the engagement of our independent registered public accountants, to review their performance and the plan, scope, and results of the audit, and to review and approve the fees we pay to our independent registered public accountants. The Audit Committee also will review our accounting and financial reporting procedures and controls, all requests for waivers of, our Code of Ethics, and significant transactions between us and our executive officers, directors, and stockholders who beneficially own 5% or more of any class of our voting securities. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter has been posted on our internet website and can be found at www.agexinc.com.

5

Compensation Committee

The members of the Compensation Committee are Annalisa Jenkins (Chairman), and Gregory Bailey. John Mauldin also served as a member of the Compensation Committee during a portion of 2020. Our Board of Directors plans to designate an independent director to replace Dr. Jenkins on the Compensation Committee after her term expires at the Meeting. The Compensation Committee held one meeting during 2020. The Compensation Committee oversees our compensation and employee benefit plans and practices, including executive compensation arrangements and incentive plans and awards of stock options and other equity-based awards under our equity plans, including our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee will determine or recommend to the Board of Directors the terms and amount of executive compensation and grants of equity-based awards to executives, key employees, consultants, and independent contractors. The Chief Executive Officer may make recommendations to the Compensation Committee concerning executive compensation and performance, but the Compensation Committee makes its own determination or recommendation to the Board of Directors with respect to the amount and components of compensation, including salary, bonus and equity awards to executive officers, generally taking into account factors such as company performance, individual performance, and compensation paid by peer group companies. A copy of the Compensation Committee Charter has been posted on our internet website and can be found at www.agexinc.com.

Report of the Audit Committee on the Audit of Our Financial Statements

The following is the report of the Audit Committee with respect to AgeX's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The information contained in this report shall not be deemed "soliciting material" or otherwise considered "filed" with the SEC, and such information shall not be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that AgeX specifically incorporates such information by reference in such filing.

The members of the Audit Committee held discussions with our management and representatives of OUM & Co. LLP, our former independent registered public accountants, concerning the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. The independent public accountants are responsible for performing an independent audit of our financial statements and issuing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Audit Committee does not itself prepare financial statements or perform audits, and its members are not auditors or certifiers of AgeX's financial statements.

The Audit Committee members reviewed and discussed with management and representatives of the auditors the audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our auditors also discussed with the Audit Committee the adequacy of AgeX's internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee members discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter mandated by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant's independence. Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee unanimously recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC.

The Audit Committee: Annalisa Jenkins (Chair) and Michael May

Nomination of Candidates for Election as Directors

Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee and Nominating Policies and Procedures

The members of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee are Michael H. May and Gregory Bailey. John Mauldin also served as a member of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee during a portion of 2020. Dr. May was appointed as chair of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee during August 2020. The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting during 2020.

The purpose of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee is to recommend to the Board of Directors individuals qualified to serve as directors and on committees of the Board, and to make recommendations to the Board on issues and proposals regarding corporate governance matters. A copy of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee Charter has been posted on our internet website and can be found at www.agexinc.com.

The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees for election as directors proposed by stockholders, provided that they notify the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee of the nomination in writing at least 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the 90 days day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made. Within the applicable time frame the stockholder and the nominee must also provide the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee with all information that the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee may reasonably request regarding the nominee.

The Board and the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee have not set any specific minimum qualifications that a prospective nominee would need in order to be nominated to serve on the Board of Directors. Rather, in evaluating any new nominee or incumbent director, the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee will consider whether the particular person has the knowledge, skills, experience, and expertise needed to manage our affairs in light of the skills, experience, and expertise of the other members of the Board as a whole. The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee will also consider whether a nominee or incumbent director has any conflicts of interest with AgeX that might conflict with our Code of Ethics or that might otherwise interfere with their ability to perform their duties in a manner that is in the best interest of AgeX and its stockholders. The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee will also consider whether including a prospective director on the Board will result in a Board composition that complies with (a) applicable state corporate laws, (b) applicable federal and state securities laws, and (c) the rules of the SEC and each stock exchange on which our shares are listed.

The Board of Directors and the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee have not adopted specific policies with respect to a particular mix or diversity of skills, experience, expertise, perspectives, and background that nominees should have. However, the present Board was assembled with a focus on attaining a Board comprised of people with substantial experience in bioscience, the pharmaceutical industry, corporate management, and finance. The Board believes that this interdisciplinary approach will best suit our needs as we work to develop and commercialize cancer diagnostic tests.

Some of the factors considered by the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee and the Board in selecting the Board's nominees for election at the Meeting are discussed in this Proxy Statement under "ELECTION OF DIRECTORS."

Because our principal executive office is located in California, we must comply with recently enacted Section 301.3 and Section 301.4 of the California Corporations Code. Section 301.3 provides that a publicly held corporation, as defined in Section 301.3, that has its principal executive offices in California may be required to have as many as three female directors by the close of 2021, depending on the authorized number of directors. Section 301.4 provides that a publicly held corporation that has its principal executive offices in California must have at least one director from an underrepresented community by the close of 2021, and may be required to have as many as three directors from underrepresented communities by the close of 2022 depending on the authorized number of directors. Section 301.4 defines a director from an underrepresented community to mean an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identifies as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. Failure to comply with Section 301.3 or Section 301.4 can lead to the imposition of fines. Our Board of Directors presently includes one woman and one member of our Board of Directors is a director from an underrepresented community. Our Board of Directors intends to cause us to comply with Section 301.3 and Section 301.4 by adding qualified women and qualified persons from underrepresented communities to our Board of Directors.

The amounts in this column represent the fair value of restricted stock units each of which represents a contingent right to receive one share of AgeX common stock upon vesting. The grant date fair value and incremental fair value of the awards were determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (ASC Topic 718). We used the Black-Scholes Pricing Model to compute the fair value based on the applicable closing price, expected stock award term, volatility assumptions, and risk-free interest rates. The restricted stock units are subject to time-based vesting over a 4 year period with the first 25% vesting on the first anniversary date and the remainder vesting in equal quarterly installment over the remaining 3 years but must be reported here at the aggregate grant date fair value, as if the awards were fully vested and exercisable at the date of grant.

(2) Amounts shown in this column do not reflect dollar amounts actually received by our Named Executive Officers. Instead, these amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of each stock option granted, computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718. We used the Black-Scholes Pricing Model to compute option fair values based on applicable exercise and stock prices, an expected option term, volatility assumptions, and risk-free interest rates. Our Named Executive Officers will only realize compensation upon exercise of the stock options and to the extent the trading price of our common stock is greater than the exercise price of such stock options at the time of exercise.

One fourth of the options will vest upon completion of 12 full months of continuous employment measured from the date of grant, and the balance of the options vest in 36 equal monthly installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant, based on the completion of each month of continuous service as an employee or director of AgeX or its subsidiaries.

(3) Amounts represent 401(k) matching contributions by us for the periods presented unless described otherwise.
(4) Dr. West's equity awards in 2019 reflect the fair value of 100,000 stock options.

(5) Ms. Park was appointed as Chief Financial Officer of AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. in May 2020 and previously served as AgeX's Vice President of Finance and Controller since October 2019.
(6) Ms. Park's equity awards in 2020 reflect the fair value of 300,000 stock options awarded upon the appointment as Chief Financial Officer in May 2020. The 2019 equity award reflect the fair value of 20,000 stock options in October 2019 at which time she was hired as AgeX's Vice President of Finance and Controller.
(7) Dr. Malik has served as our Chief Operating Officer as a consultant through Juvenescence since October 2018. Dr. Malik is an employee of Juvenescence and has been devoting a majority of his time to AgeX's operations for which AgeX reimburses Juvenescence for his services.

Risk Considerations and Recoupment Policies

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors considers, in establishing and reviewing the executive compensation program, whether the program encourages unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Most of our executive compensation arrangements include a fixed salary that provides a steady income so that executives do not feel pressured to focus exclusively on stock price performance or short-term financial targets to the detriment of our long-term operational and strategic objectives. We supplement fixed salaries with discretionary bonus awards based on the executive's performance as well as the performance of AgeX. The stock options that we have granted to our executive officers under the Incentive Plan vest over four to five years, assuring that the executives take a long-term perspective in viewing their equity ownership.

Because we have not adopted compensation plans, or made incentive awards, based on quantified financial performance measures, we have not adopted specific policies regarding the adjustment or recovery of awards or payments if the relevant performance measures are restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that would reduce the size of an award or payment. We may adopt such policies, however, if we adopt incentive compensation plans or grant incentive bonuses based on financial performance measures or if we are required to do by the rules of any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation system on which our common stock or other equity securities are listed.

The Incentive Plan

The following summary of the Incentive Plan is a summary only and does not purport to include all of the terms of the Incentive Plan, and is qualified by the full terms of the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan permits us to grant awards ("Awards") consisting of stock options, the grant or sale of restricted stock ("Restricted Stock"), the grant of stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), and the grant of restricted stock units, also known as RSUs, which are hypothetical units issued with reference to our common stock, for up to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. Awards may be granted under the Incentive Plan to employees, directors, and consultants of AgeX and our subsidiaries, including also subsidiaries that we may form or acquire in the future. The Incentive Plan will be administered by our Board of Directors or by a committee authorized by our Board ("Committee"), who will make all determinations with regard to the grant and terms of Awards, subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan.

Awards may vest and thereby become exercisable or have restrictions on forfeiture lapse on the date of grant or in periodic installments or upon the attainment of performance goals, or upon the occurrence of specified events as determined by the Board or the Committee. The Board or Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of an Award after the date of grant.

No person shall be granted, during any one-year period, options to purchase, or SARs with respect to, more than 1,000,000 shares in the aggregate, or any Awards of Restricted Stock or RSUs with respect to more than 500,000 shares in the aggregate. If an Award is to be settled in cash, the number of shares on which the Award is based shall not count toward the individual share limit.

No Awards may be granted under the Incentive Plan more than ten years after the date upon which the Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board, and no options or SARS granted under the Incentive Plan may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant.

11

Stock Options

Options granted under the Incentive Plan may be either "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or "non-qualified" stock options that do not qualify incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of AgeX and its subsidiaries. The exercise price of stock options granted under the Incentive Plan must be equal to the fair market of our common stock on the date the option is granted. In the case of an optionee who, at the time of grant, owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock, the exercise price of any incentive stock option must be at least 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date, and the term of the option may be no longer than five years. The aggregate fair market value of common stock (determined as of the grant date of the option) with respect to which incentive stock options become exercisable for the first time by an optionee in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.

The exercise price of an option may be payable in cash or in shares of our common stock having a fair market value equal to the exercise price, or in a combination of cash and common stock, or other legal consideration for the issuance of stock as the Board or Committee may approve.

Generally, options will be exercisable only while the optionee remains an employee, director or consultant, or during a specific period thereafter as approved by the Board or Committee, which will generally be three months, but in the case of the termination of an employee, director, or consultant's services due to death or disability, the period for exercising a vested option shall be extended to the earlier of 12 months after termination or the expiration date of the option.

The number of shares covered by the Incentive Plan, and the number of shares and the exercise price per share of each outstanding option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock effected without receipt of consideration by us.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

In lieu of granting options, we may enter into purchase agreements with employees under which they may purchase or otherwise acquire Restricted Stock or RSUs subject to such vesting, transfer, and repurchase terms and restrictions as the Board or Committee may determine. We may permit employees or consultants who purchase Restricted Stock to pay for their shares by delivering a promissory note or an installment payment agreement that may be secured by a pledge of their Restricted Stock. We may also issue Restricted Stock for services actually performed by the recipient prior to the issuance of the Restricted Stock.

The Board or Committee may require that Restricted Stock shall be held by us or in escrow pending the expiration or release of the applicable restrictions. Unvested Restricted Stock for which we have not received payment may be forfeited to us, or we may have the right to repurchase unvested shares upon the occurrence of specified events, such as termination of employment.

Subject to the restrictions set by the Board or Committee, a recipient of Restricted Stock generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder, including the right to vote the Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends; provided that, any cash dividends and stock dividends with respect to the Restricted Stock shall be withheld by us for the recipient's account, and interest may be credited on the amount of the cash dividends withheld at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Board or Committee. The cash dividends or stock dividends so withheld and attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock (and earnings thereon, if applicable) shall be distributed to the recipient in cash or, at the discretion of the Board or Committee, in common stock having a fair market value equal to the amount of such dividends, if applicable, upon the release of restrictions on the Restricted Stock and, if the Restricted Stock is forfeited, the recipient shall have no right to the dividends.

The terms and conditions of a grant of RSUs shall be determined by the Board or Committee. No common stock shall be issued at the time a RSU is granted, and we will not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of any such award. A recipient of RSUs shall have no voting rights with respect to the RSUs. Upon the expiration of the restrictions applicable to a RSU, we will either issue to the recipient, without charge, one share of common stock per RSU or cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock.

At the discretion of the Board or Committee, each RSU (representing one share of common stock) may be credited with cash and stock dividends paid in respect of one share ("Dividend Equivalents"). Dividend Equivalents shall be withheld by us for the recipient's account, and interest may be credited on the amount of cash Dividend Equivalents withheld at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Board or Committee. Dividend Equivalents credited to a recipient's account and attributable to any particular RSU (and earnings thereon, if applicable) shall be distributed in cash or, at the discretion of the Board or Committee, in common stock having a fair market value equal to the amount of the Dividend Equivalents and earnings, if applicable, upon settlement of the RSU. If a RSU is forfeited, the recipient shall have no right to the related Dividend Equivalents.

SARs

A SAR is the right to receive, upon exercise, an amount payable in cash or shares or a combination of shares and cash, as determined by the Board or Committee, equal to the number of shares subject to the SAR that is being exercised, multiplied by the excess of (a) the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the SAR is exercised, over (b) the exercise price specified in the SAR Award agreement. SARs may be granted either as free-standing SARs or in tandem with options, and with such terms and conditions as the Board or Committee may determine. No SAR may be exercised later than 10 years after the date of grant.

12

The exercise price of a SAR will be determined by the Board or Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of grant. A SAR granted in conjunction with an option shall have the same exercise price as the related option, shall be transferable only upon the same terms and conditions as the related option, and shall be exercisable only to the same extent as the related option; provided, however, that the SAR by its terms shall be exercisable only when the fair market value per share exceeds the exercise price per share of the SAR or related option. Upon any exercise of a SAR granted in tandem with an option, the number of shares for which the related option shall be exercisable shall be reduced by the number of shares for which the SAR has been exercised. The number of shares for which a SAR issued in tandem with an option shall be exercisable shall be reduced by the number of shares for which the related option has been exercised.

Withholding

To the extent provided by the terms of an Award agreement or as may be approved by the Board or Committee, an optionee or recipient of a Restricted Stock or RSU Award or SAR may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the Award by any of the following means (in addition to our right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Award recipient) or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing us to withhold shares of common stock from the shares otherwise issuable to the recipient as a result of the exercise or acquisition of shares under the Award, provided, however, that no shares are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or (c) delivering to us previously owned and unencumbered shares of our common stock.

Changes in Shares Under the Incentive Plan

In the event of changes in the outstanding common stock or in our capital structure by reason of any stock or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange, or other relevant change in capitalization, the terms of Awards granted under the Incentive Plan, and the maximum number of shares subject to all Awards under the Incentive Plan or with respect to which any one person may be granted Awards during any one year period, will be equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number, price or kind of shares or other consideration subject to the Awards to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of the Awards. In making such adjustments, the Board or Committee shall generally ensure that the adjustments will not constitute a modification, extension or renewal of an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code, and in the case of non-qualified options, ensure that any adjustments will not constitute a modification of such non-qualified options within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and that adjustments or substitutions of Awards intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code will not cause us to be denied a tax deduction on account of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Restrictions on Transfers of Options

Under the Incentive Plan, stock options may be transferred to a limited class of defined "Permitted Transferees," such as the option holder's immediate family members, family trusts and family-controlled companies. In addition, options may be transferred to a securities broker/dealer to exercise the options on the option holder's behalf as a means of the option holder obtaining the funds needed to exercise the option, provided that the fair market value of the shares being acquired exceeded the exercise price of the option at the close of the market on the trading day preceding the exercise date.

Repricing Prohibition

The Incentive Plan prohibits any modification of the purchase price or exercise price of an outstanding option or other Award if the change would effect a "repricing' without stockholder approval. As defined in the Incentive Plan, "repricing" means a reduction in the exercise price of an outstanding option or SAR or cancellation of an "underwater" or "out-of-the-money" Award in exchange for other Awards or cash. An "underwater" or "out-of-the-money" Award is defined to mean an Award for which the exercise price is less than the "fair market value" of our common stock. The fair market value will generally be determined by the Board, but while our common stock is publicly traded, the fair market value will be the closing price of the common stock on a national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the common stock is traded.

Limitation on Share Recycling

Shares subject to an Award shall not again be made available for issuance or delivery under the Incentive Plan if those shares are (a) shares tendered in payment of an option, (b) shares delivered or withheld by us to satisfy any tax withholding obligation, (c) shares covered by a stock-settled SAR or other Award that were not issued upon the settlement of the Award, or (d) shares repurchased by us using the proceeds from option exercises. Only shares subject to an Award that is cancelled or forfeited or expires prior to exercise or realization may be regranted under the Incentive Plan.

The foregoing description of the Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is filed as an Exhibit to our Registration Statement on Form 10 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Other Compensation Plans

We do not have any pension plans, defined benefit plans, or non-qualified deferred compensation plans. We do make contributions to 401(k) plans for participating executive officers and other employees.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Compensation of Our Chief Operating Officer

Since October 2018, AgeX's Chief Operating Officer, Nafees Malik, who is an employee of Juvenescence, has been devoting a majority of his time to AgeX's operations for which AgeX reimburses Juvenescence for his services on an agreed upon fixed annual rate of $272,000 from October 18, 2018 through March 10, 2019 and $283,000 from March 11, 2019 through December 31, 2020. Additionally, Dr. Malik received a $50,000 bonus in March 2019. As of December 31, 2020 AgeX had accrued approximately $71,000 payable to Juvenescence for Dr. Malik's services rendered.

2019 Loan Facility Agreement and Warrant Agreement

On August 13, 2019, AgeX and Juvenescence entered into a Loan Facility Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") pursuant to which Juvenescence provided to AgeX a $2.0 million line of credit for a period of 18 months. The Loan Agreement was amended on February 10, 2021 (the "Amendment"), to extend the maturity date of loans under the Loan Agreement to February 14, 2022 and to increase the amount of the loan facility from $2.0 million to $6.0 million. On November 8, 2021, AgeX entered into Amendment No. 2 to Loan Facility Agreement (the "Second Amendment") of the 2019 Loan Agreement. The Second Amendment increases the amount of the loan facility from $6.0 million to $7.0 million. As of November 15, 2021, AgeX had borrowed a total of $6.0 million under the Loan Agreement as amended. Additional loans, up to the $7.0 million limit, will be in denominations of $1.0 million and are subject to Juvenescence's discretion. AgeX may not draw down funds after the Repayment Date in February 2022 or if an "Event of Default" under the Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing.

As consideration for the original $2.0 million line of credit under the Loan Agreement, AgeX issued to Juvenescence warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of AgeX common stock. The exercise price of these warrants is $2.60 per share, which was the volume weighted average price (VWAP) on the NYSE American of AgeX common stock over the twenty trading days prior to the date the warrants were issued. The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York Time three years after the date of issue. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and the exercise price per share are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events such as a stock split or reverse split or combination of the common stock, stock dividend, recapitalization or reclassification of the common stock, and similar events.

AgeX also will pay Juvenescence an origination fee in the amount of $160,000 (the "Origination Fee") upon the earlier of the repayment of the loan by AgeX or the conversion of the loan balance into AgeX common stock by Juvenescence or by AgeX. The Origination Fee will be paid in shares of AgeX common stock rather than cash if AgeX exercises its right to convert the loan into shares of common stock, or if Juvenescence elects to convert the loan in shares of common stock and elects to receive the Origination Fee in AgeX common stock.

In lieu of repayment of funds borrowed, AgeX or Juvenescence may convert the loan balance (including principal and accrued interest, if any) into AgeX common stock or "units" if AgeX consummates a "Qualified Offering" which means a sale of common stock (or common stock paired with warrants or other convertible securities in "units") in which the gross sale proceeds are at least $7.5 million. Juvenescence may also elect to convert the principal amount of outstanding loans under the Loan Agreement, as amended, into shares of AgeX common stock at the Market Price as defined in the Loan Agreement as amended. The Amendment places certain limits on the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of outstanding loan amounts by Juvenescence, or by AgeX under AgeX's loan conversion rights, if under the rules of the NYSE American or any other national securities exchange on which AgeX common stock may be listed, approval by AgeX stockholders would be required in connection with the issuance of the shares. Under those limits (a) the number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of any loan advance, at a conversion price that is lower than the market price of AgeX common stock at the time of funding the applicable advance being converted, may not exceed 19.9% of the shares outstanding at August 13, 2019 (the "19.9% Cap"), and (b) no advances may be converted into common stock in an amount that would cause Juvenescence's ownership of AgeX common stock to equal or exceed 50% of the number of shares of AgeX common stock then outstanding (the "50% Cap").

Events of Default under the Loan Agreement include: (i) AgeX fails to pay any amount in the manner and at the time provided in the Loan Agreement and the failure to pay is not remedied within 10 business days; (ii) AgeX fails to perform any of its obligations under the Loan Agreement and if the failure can be remedied it is not remedied to the satisfaction of Juvenescence within 10 business days after notice to AgeX; (iii) other indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $100,000 becomes due and payable or can be declared due and payable prior to its due date or if indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $25,000 is not paid when due; (iv) AgeX stops payment of its debts generally or discontinues its business or becomes unable to pay its debts as they become due or enters into any arrangement with creditors generally, (v) AgeX becomes insolvent or begins liquidation or administration or other insolvency procedures, or a receiver, trustee or similar officer is appointed in respect of all or any part of its assets and such appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for sixty days, (vi) it becomes illegal for AgeX to perform its obligations under the Loan Agreement or any governmental permit, license, consent, exemption or similar requirement for AgeX to perform its obligations under the Loan Agreement or to carry out its business is not obtained or ceases to remain in effect; (vii) the issuance or levy of any judgment, writ, warrant of attachment or execution or similar process against all or any material part of the property or assets of AgeX if such process is not released, vacated or fully bonded within sixty calendar days after its issue or levy; (viii) any injunction, order or judgement of any court is entered or issued which in the opinion of Juvenescence materially and adversely affects the ability of AgeX to carry out its business or to pay amounts owed to Juvenescence under the Loan Agreement, and (ix) there is a change in AgeX's financial condition that in the opinion of Juvenescence materially and adversely affects, or is likely to so affect, its ability to perform any of its obligations under the Loan Agreement.

15

AgeX and Juvenescence have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, as amended, to register for resale under the Securities Act the 19,000 shares issuable under the Loan Agreement, the 150,000 warrants and underlying shares, and any shares of common stock that may be issued to Juvenescence upon conversion of the loans under the Loan Agreement, as amended, or under the 2020 Loan Agreement, as discussed below under "Registration Rights Agreements."

2020 Loan Agreement and New Warrant Agreement

On March 30, 2020, AgeX and Juvenescence entered into a new Secured Convertible Facility Agreement, which was amended on July 21, 2020 (the "2020 Loan Agreement"), pursuant to which Juvenescence provided to AgeX an $8.0 million line of credit for a period of 18 months on terms similar to the Loan Agreement described above, except that (a) in lieu of paying accrued interest, AgeX issue to Juvenescence 28,500 shares of AgeX common stock when AgeX borrowed an aggregate of $3.0 million under the 2020 Loan Agreement, (b) AgeX issued to Juvenescence warrants to purchase shares of AgeX common stock ("New Warrants") in amounts determined by the warrant formula described below, (c) the Repayment Date for outstanding principal balance of the loan under the 2020 Loan Agreement will be March 30, 2023, (d) AgeX agreed that Juvenescence could require that AgeX's subsidiaries ReCyte Therapeutics and Reverse Bioengineering, Inc. (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries" or each a "Guarantor Subsidiary") guarantee AgeX's obligations under the 2020 Loan Agreement and that AgeX and the Guarantor Subsidiaries enter into a Security Agreement granting Juvenescence a security interest in all of the assets of AgeX and the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The aggregate principal cash amount outstanding under the 2020 Loan Agreement (the "Outstanding Amount") may be converted into shares of AgeX common stock as follows: (i) the entire Outstanding Amount may be converted at AgeX's election ("Borrower Conversion") upon a sale of shares (or "units" consisting of shares of common stock together with warrants or any other security convertible into common stock) to third party investors in a bona fide investment transaction in which the aggregate sales price to AgeX of the shares or units sold in such offering, before deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees and offering expenses, is not less than $10 million; or (ii) all or any portion of the Outstanding Amount may be converted at Juvenescence's election any time ("Lender Conversion").

Further, in addition to the Events of Default described above, additional Events of Default will arise under the 2020 Loan Agreement if (i) AgeX or any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries sells, leases, licenses, consigns, transfers, or otherwise disposes of a material part of its assets other than inventory in the ordinary course of business or certain intercompany transactions, or certain other limited permitted transactions, unless Juvenescence approves, (ii) the security interests under the Security Agreement, if in effect, are not valid or perfected, or AgeX or a Guarantor Subsidiary contests the validity of its obligations under the 2020 Loan Agreement or Security Agreement or other related agreement with Juvenescence, or there is a loss, theft, damage or destruction of a material portion of the collateral, (iii) any representation, warranty, or other statement made by AgeX or a Guarantor Subsidiary under the 2020 Loan Agreement is incomplete, untrue, incorrect, or misleading, or (iv) AgeX or a Guarantor Subsidiary suspends or ceases to carry on all or a material part of its business or threatens to do so.

Under the terms of the 2020 Loan Agreement, each time AgeX received an advance of funds under the 2020 Loan Agreement, AgeX issued to Juvenescence a number of New Warrants equal to 50% of the number determined by dividing the amount of the advance by the applicable Market Price. The Market Price set each New Warrant when issued was the closing price per share of AgeX common stock on the NYSE American on the date of the applicable notice from AgeX requesting a draw of funds that triggered the obligation to issue the New Warrant. The exercise price of the New Warrants will be the applicable Market Price. The New Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York time three years after the date of issue.

AgeX has drawn down $7.5 million under the line of credit and AgeX issued to Juvenescence 28,500 shares of AgeX common stock and warrants to purchase 3,362,098 shares of AgeX common stock. The exercise prices of the New Warrants range from $0.70 per share to $1.895 per share representing the market closing price on the NYSE American of AgeX common stock on the one day prior to delivery of the drawdown notices. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and the exercise price per share are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events such as a stock split or reverse split or combination of the common stock, stock dividend, recapitalization or reclassification of the common stock, and similar events.

AgeX entered into an amendment to its Registration Rights Agreement with Juvenescence to include the 28,500 shares issuable under the 2020 Loan Agreement and the New Warrants and underlying shares as registrable securities under the Registration Rights Agreement. See "Registration Rights Agreements" below.

Registration Rights Agreements

We have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which we have agreed to register for sale under the Securities Act all shares of AgeX common stock presently held by Juvenescence or that may be acquired by Juvenescence through the exercise of common stock purchase warrants that they hold or that they may acquire pursuant to the 2020 Loan Agreement, and shares that they may acquire through the conversion of loans to us, including principal and accrued interest, under the 2019 Loan Agreement and 2020 Loan Agreement, and the amount of a loan Origination Fee under the 2019 Loan Agreement, as amended. We have filed a registration statement on Form S-3, which has become effective under the Securities Act, for offerings on a delayed or continuous basis covering 16,447,500 shares of our common stock held by Juvenescence and 3,248,246 shares of our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of certain common stock purchase warrants held by Juvenescence. Juvenescence retains the right to require us to register additional shares of our common stock that they may acquire through the exercise of warrants or the conversion of loans and the Origination Fee under the 2019 Loan Agreement and the 2020 Loan Agreement. We are obligated to pay the fees and expenses of each registered offering under the Registration Rights Agreement except for underwriting discounts and commissions. AgeX and Juvenescence will indemnify each other from certain liabilities in connection the registration, offer, and sale of securities under a registration statement, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have also agreed to register for sale under the Securities Act certain shares of common stock beneficially owned by our former director John Mauldin under similar terms.

Stockholder Approval of Certain Matters

The 2020 Loan Agreement and the related Warrant Agreement governing the New Warrants placed certain limits on the number of shares of AgeX common stock that may be issued to Juvenescence upon conversion of outstanding loan amounts or exercise of the New Warrants, in order to comply with applicable NYSE American listing requirements, prior to stockholder approval of the issuance of shares to Juvenescence that would result in (a) Juvenescence receiving additional shares in excess of 19.9% of the AgeX common stock outstanding as of March 30 2020, the date of the 2020 Loan Agreement, for less than the greater of book value or the applicable tranche market values of AgeX common stock (the "19.9% Cap"), or (b) Juvenescence owning 50% or more of the outstanding AgeX common stock (the "50% Cap"). As required by the terms of the 2020 Loan Agreement, AgeX sought and obtained the vote of AgeX stockholders approving (i) the ability of AgeX and Juvenescence to convert the Outstanding Amount into shares of AgeX common stock under the Borrower Conversion and Lender Conversion provisions of the 2020 Loan Agreement even if the Borrower Conversion or Lender Conversion, as applicable, would result in (a) Juvenescence receiving additional shares in excess of the 19.9% Cap or the 50% Cap, and (ii) the ability of Juvenescence to exercise its New Warrants even if the exercise would cause Juvenescence's ownership of AgeX common stock to equal or exceed the 50% Cap.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of our equity securities ("Reporting Persons") to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other AgeX equity securities. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all reports they file under Section 16(a).

To our knowledge, based solely on our review of the copies of Forms, 3 and 4 and amendments thereto filed during the last fiscal year, and Forms 5 and amendments thereto filed with respect to the last fiscal year, by the Reporting Persons, or written representation from the Reporting Persons that no Form 5 was required, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors, and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, except that a Form 3 was filed late by Andrea E. Park, who was appointed AgeX's Chief Financial Officer in May 2020, and 4 Form 4s were filed late by Juvenescence, AgeX's largest stockholder.

RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors has selected WithumSmith + Brown PC ("Withum") as our independent registered public accountants. OUM & Co., LLP ("OUM") served as our independent registered public accountants from October 2017 until July 15, 2021 when OUM and Withum entered into a transaction pursuant to which partners and professional staff of OUM joined Withum as partners or employees. As a result of that transaction, on July 15, 2021, OUM resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm and our Audit Committee appointed Withum as our independent registered public accountants.

Other than a going concern qualification, the audit reports of OUM on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and through the subsequent interim periods preceding OUM's resignation, there were no disagreements between us and OUM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of OUM would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on our financial statements for such years. During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and through the subsequent interim periods preceding OUM's resignation, there were no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of SEC Regulation S-K.

During our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and through the subsequent interim periods preceding Withum's engagement, we did not consult with Withum on either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on our financial statements, and Withum did not provide either a written report or oral advise to us that Withum concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement with OUM or a reportable event, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Board of Directors proposes and recommends that the stockholders ratify the selection of the firm of Withum to serve as our independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Approval of the selection of Withum to serve as our independent registered public accountants requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present and voting on the matter at the Meeting, provided that the affirmative vote cast constitutes a majority of a quorum. Unless otherwise directed by the stockholders, proxies will be voted FOR approval of the selection of Withum to audit our financial statements.

17

We expect that a representative of Withum will be present at the Meeting, in person or by conference telephone, and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires and may respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

The Board of Directors Recommends a Vote "FOR" Ratification of the Selection of Withum as Our

Independent Registered Public Accountants

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed to us during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 by OUM:

2020 2019
Audit Fees (1) $ 285,000 $ 288,000
Audit Related Fees (2) 28,000 -
Total Fees $ 313,000 $ 288,000
(1) Audit Fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements included in our Registration Statement on Form 10 and services that are normally provided by our independent registered public accountants in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
(2) Audit-Related Fees relate to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees." This category would include fees related to non-routine SEC filings.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services

Our Audit Committee requires pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services. Other than de minimis services incidental to audit services, non-audit services shall generally be limited to tax services such as advice and planning and financial due diligence services. All fees for such non-audit services must be approved by the Audit Committee, except to the extent otherwise permitted by applicable SEC regulations. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more designated members of the Audit Committee the authority to grant pre-approvals, provided such approvals are presented to the Audit Committee at a subsequent meeting. During 2020 and 2019, 100% of the fees paid to OUM were approved by the Audit Committee or by our Board of Directors prior to the appointment of our Audit Committee.

INCENTIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

We are asking our stockholders to approve an amendment to our Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan Amendment") that, if approved, will make an additional 500,000 shares of our common stock available for the grant of Awards to our employees, directors, and consultants.

Vote Required; Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Approval of the Incentive Plan Amendment requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and voting on the matter at the Meeting, provided that the affirmative vote cast constitutes a majority of a quorum. Unless otherwise directed by the stockholders, proxies will be voted FOR approval of the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal.

Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of outstanding shares held in "street name" fails to provide instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed "non-routine." If you as beneficial owner do not provide voting instructions, the broker or nominee cannot vote the shares with respect to "non-routine" matters, but can vote the shares with respect to "routine" matters. Typically, when brokers are able to vote the shares, they vote in favor of the matter. However, we believe the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal is a "non-routine" matter because it relates to executive compensation and, as a result, we expect that brokers or nominees will not vote on this proposal unless the beneficial owners of the AgeX shares they hold instruct them how to vote. Accordingly, if you do not vote your shares for the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal, it is likely that your broker will not vote your shares for you on this Proposal. Accordingly, we strongly encourage you to submit your proxy and exercise your right to vote as a stockholder to ensure that your shares are voted in the manner in which you want them to be voted.

If you check the "abstain" box for the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal on the proxy card or if you attend the Meeting without submitting a proxy and you abstain from voting on the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal has received an affirmative vote sufficient for approval.

The Board of Directors Recommends A Vote "FOR" the

Approval of the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal

Reasons for the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal

Stock options and other equity-based Awards are an important part of employee and director compensation packages. The Board strongly believes that our ability to attract and retain the services of employees, consultants, and directors depends in great measure upon our ability to provide the kind of incentives that are derived from the ownership of stock, stock options, and other equity based incentives that are offered by other biotechnology companies. We believe that we will be placed at a serious competitive disadvantage in attracting and retaining capable employees, consultants, and directors at a critical time in our corporate development, unless the Incentive Plan Amendment is approved by our stockholders.

As of November 15, 2021, approximately 518,521 shares of AgeX common stock remained available for the grant of Awards under the Incentive Plan, which our Board believes is not sufficient for our needs. As of that date, we had 5 full-time and part-time employees and 5 non-employee directors who are eligible to receive Awards under the Incentive Plan. We expect to need additional shares for Awards to retain our current directors, executives, and key employees, and especially to hire new executives and employees for our operations. We also engage consultants from time to time, and generally have had between 6 and 12 individuals providing consulting services this year, and although we may grant consultants equity awards under the Incentive Plan we did not do so during 2020 and have not done so during 2021, other than the grant of 75,000 stock options during 2021 to Nafees Malik, our Chief Operating Officer who is an employee of Juvenescence and has been devoting a majority of his time to AgeX's operations for which AgeX reimburses Juvenescence for his services. Also, our Bylaws permit us to add additional members to our Board of Directors, which means that the number of non-employee directors eligible to receive Awards under the Incentive Plan may increase in the future as well.

The Board believes that the addition of 500,000 shares of common stock for the grant of Awards under the Incentive Plan will fulfill our needs for the near future. Any future increase in the number of shares under the Incentive Plan would be submitted to the stockholders for approval. Although the Incentive Plan Amendment has been approved by our Board of Directors, the Incentive Plan Amendment has not yet been approved by our stockholders.

Future Incentive Plan Awards

Awards under the Incentive Plan are within the discretion of our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors. The exercise price and value of each Award will reflect the market price of our common stock at the time of the Award. Future Awards under the Incentive Plan, including to our non-employee directors and to our officers, are not determinable at this time. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors may adopt guidelines for determining option awards based upon the professional level of each employee in the organization, but the ultimate decision to grant Awards will also be based on each employee's and AgeX's annual performance. Accordingly, the number and value of additional Awards that might be granted to our executive officers and other employees is not presently determinable.

Federal Income Tax Consequence of Participation in the Incentive Plan

The following discussion summarizes certain federal income tax consequences of participation in the Incentive Plan. Although we believe the following statements are correct based on existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the regulations thereunder, the Code or regulations may be amended from time to time, and future judicial interpretations may affect the veracity of the discussion.

Incentive Stock Options

Under Section 422(a) of the Code, the grant and exercise of an incentive stock option pursuant to the Incentive Plan is entitled to the benefits of Section 421(a) of the Code. Under Section 421(a), an optionee will not be required to recognize income at the time the option is granted or at the time the option is exercised, except to the extent that the optionee is subject to the alternative minimum tax. If the applicable holding periods described below are met, when the shares of stock received upon exercise of an incentive stock option are sold or otherwise disposed of in a taxable transaction, the option holder will recognize compensation income (taxed as a long term capital gain), for the taxable year in which disposition occurs, in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the common stock at the time of such disposition over the amount paid for the shares.

We will not be entitled to any business expense deduction with respect to the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option, except in connection with a disqualifying disposition as discussed below. No portion of the amount received by the optionee upon the sale of common stock acquired through the exercise of an incentive stock option will be subject to withholding for federal income taxes, or be subject to FICA or state disability taxes, except in connection with a disqualifying disposition.

19

In order for a participant to receive the favorable tax treatment provided in Section 421(a) of the Code, Section 422 requires that the participant make no disposition of the option shares within two years from the date the option was granted, nor within one year from the date the option was exercised and the shares were transferred to the participant. In addition, the participant must, with certain exceptions for death or disability, be an employee of AgeX (or of a parent or subsidiary of AgeX, as defined in Section 424(e) and (f) of the Code, or a corporation, or parent or subsidiary thereof, issuing or assuming the option in a merger or other corporate reorganization transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies) at all times within the period beginning on the date of the grant of the option and ending on a date within three months before the date of exercise. In the event of the death of the participant, the holding periods will not apply to a disposition of the option or option shares by the participant's estate or by persons receiving the option or shares under the participant's will or by intestate succession.

If a participant disposes of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option before the expiration of the holding period requirements set forth above, the participant will realize, at the time of the disposition, ordinary income to the extent the fair market value of the common stock on the date the shares were purchased exceeded the purchase price. The difference between the fair market value of the common stock on the date the shares were purchased and the amount realized on disposition is treated as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the participant's holding period of the shares of common stock. The amount treated as ordinary income may be subject to the income tax withholding requirements of the Code and FICA withholding requirements. The participant will be required to reimburse us, either directly or through payroll deduction, for all withholding taxes that we are required to pay on behalf of the participant. At the time of the disposition, we will be allowed a corresponding business expense deduction under Section 162 of the Code to the extent of the amount of the participant's ordinary income. We may adopt procedures to assist us in identifying such deductions, and may require a participant to notify us of his or her intention to dispose of any such shares.

Regardless of whether a participant satisfies the requisite holding period for his or her option and shares, the participant may be subject to the alternative minimum tax with respect to the amount by which the fair market value of the common stock acquired exceeded the exercise price of the option on the date of exercise.

Other Options

The Incentive Plan also permits us to grant options that do not qualify as incentive stock options. These "non-qualified" stock options may be granted to employees or non-employees, such as persons performing consulting or professional services for us. An Incentive Plan participant who receives a non-qualified option will not be taxed at the time of receipt of the option, provided that the option does not have an ascertainable value or an exercise price below fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, but the participant will be taxed at the time the option is exercised.

The amount of taxable income that will be earned upon exercise of a non-qualified option will be the difference between the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the exercise and the exercise price of the option. We will be allowed a business expense deduction to the extent of the amount of the participant's taxable income recognized upon the exercise of a non-qualified option. Because the option holder is subject to tax immediately upon exercise of the option, there are no applicable holding periods for the stock. The option holder's tax basis in the common stock purchased through the exercise of a non-qualified option will be equal to the exercise price paid for the stock plus the amount of taxable gain recognized upon the exercise of the option. The option holder may be subject to additional tax on sale of the stock if the price realized exceeds his or her tax basis.

SARs; Restricted Stock; and RSUs

A recipient of a SAR will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of the SAR. The recipient of the SAR will recognize ordinary income upon exercise of the SAR in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares and the exercise price on the date of exercise. Any gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares generally will be a capital gain or loss.

A recipient of a Restricted Stock Award will not have taxable income upon the grant, unless the Restricted Stock is then vested, or unless the recipient elects under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed at the time of grant. Otherwise, upon vesting of the shares, the recipient will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of vesting less the amount paid for such shares, if any. Any gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares generally will be a capital gain or loss.

A recipient of a RSU does not recognize taxable income when the Award is granted. When vested a RSU (and dividend equivalents, if any) is settled and distributed, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the amount of cash or the fair market value of shares received, less the amount paid for the RSU, if any.

ERISA

The Incentive Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and is not qualified under Code Section 401(a).
