PROXY STATEMENT

____________________________

SOLICITING, VOTING AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

This proxy statement is being mailed or made available to all shareholders of record at the close of business on December 16, 2011 in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on February 10, 2012 at 4:00 p.m., local time, or any adjournment thereof. Proxy materials for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders were mailed or made available to shareholders on or about December 23, 2011.

All shares represented by proxies duly executed and received will be voted on the matters presented at the meeting in accordance with the instructions specified in such proxies. Proxies so received without specified instructions will be voted as follows:

(i)	FOR the nominees named in the proxy to our Board of Directors.

(ii)	FOR the proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized to be issued from 800,000,000 to 1,500,000,000.

(iii)

FOR the proposal to authorize our Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock by a ratio of not less than 1-for-10 and not more than 1-for-150, with our Board of Directors having the discretion as to whether or not the reverse split is to be effected, and with the exact ratio of any reverse split to be set at a whole number within the above range as determined by our Board in its discretion.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you do not provide specific voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares, the organization will be prohibited under the current rules of the New York Stock Exchange from voting your shares on "non-routine" matters. This is commonly referred to as a "broker non-vote". The election of directors and the proposals to amend the Plan and to effect a reverse split are considered "non-routine" matters and therefore may not be voted on by your bank or broker absent specific instructions from you. The proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares is considered "routine" and therefore may be voted on by your bank or broker without instructions from you. Please instruct your bank or broker so your vote can be counted.

Our Board does not know of any other matters that may be brought before the meeting nor does it foresee or have reason to believe that the proxy holder will have to vote for substitute or alternate nominees to the Board. In the event that any other matter should come before the meeting or any nominee is not available for election, the person named in the enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority to vote all proxies not marked to the contrary with respect to such matters in accordance with his best judgment.

The total number of shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the close of business on December 16, 2011 was 603,683,811. The shares of common stock are the only class of securities entitled to vote on matters presented to our shareholders, each share being entitled to one vote.

The holders of one-third of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the close of business on December 16, 2011, or 201,227,937 shares of common stock, must be present at the meeting in person or by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Proxies received but marked as abstentions will be included in the calculation of votes considered being present at the meeting.

With regard to the election of directors, votes may be cast in favor or withheld. The directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in favor. Accordingly, based upon there being three nominees, each person who receives one or more votes will be elected as a director. Shares of common stock as to which a shareholder withholds voting authority in the election of directors and broker non-votes will not be counted as voting thereon and therefore will not affect the election of the nominees receiving a plurality of the votes cast.

Shareholders may expressly abstain from voting on Proposals 2 and 3 by so indicating on the proxy. Abstentions are counted as present in the tabulation of votes on Proposals 2 and 3. Since Proposals 2 and 3 require the affirmative approval of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote (assuming a quorum is present at the meeting), abstentions, as well as broker non-votes, will have the effect of a negative vote.

Any person giving a proxy in the form accompanying this proxy statement has the power to revoke it at any time before its exercise. The proxy may be revoked by filing with us written notice of revocation or a fully executed proxy bearing a later date. The proxy may also be revoked by affirmatively electing to vote in person while in attendance at the meeting. However, a shareholder who attends the meeting need not revoke a proxy given and vote in person unless the shareholder wishes to do so. Written revocations or amended proxies should be sent to us at 555 Heritage Drive, Suite 130, Jupiter, Florida 33458, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Those voting by Internet or by telephone may also revoke their proxy by voting in person at the meeting or by voting and submitting their proxy at a later time by Internet or by telephone.

The proxy is being solicited by our Board of Directors. We will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies, including the charges and expenses of brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of our shares. Solicitations will be made primarily by Internet availability of proxy materials and by mail, but certain of our directors, officers or employees may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, telecopier or email without special compensation.

The following Summary Compensation Table sets forth all compensation earned in all capacities during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 by our (i) principal executive officer, (ii) our former principal executive officer and (iii) all other executive officers, other than our principal executive officer, whose salaries for the 2010 fiscal year, as determined by Regulation S-K, Item 402, exceeded $100,000 (the individuals falling within categories (i), (ii) and (iii) are collectively referred to as the “Named Executive Officers”):

(1) Mr. Weinreb became our Chief Executive Officer in October 2010.

(2) Ms. McConnell served as our President from January 2009 to December 2010.

(3) Pursuant to Mr. Weinreb’s employment agreement with us, he is entitled to receive a bonus equal to 50% of his annual salary. See “Employment Agreement” below.

(4) The amounts reported in these columns represent the grant date fair value of the option and stock awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2010, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.

(5) Represents amounts payable to Ms. McConnell pursuant to a termination agreement. As discussed in “Termination Agreement” and “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below, pursuant to the termination agreement, Ms. McConnell was entitled to receive $120,000, as severance, payable over a two year period and to be reissued 12,576,811 shares of common stock she had previously contributed to capital as an accommodation to us. The shares reissued to Ms. McConnell had previously been owned by her. She had contributed them to our capital as an accommodation to us since we did not then have a sufficient number of authorized shares to issue shares to third parties. When our authorized capitalization was increased, Ms. McConnell was reissued her shares. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below. Pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into between Ms. McConnell and us in November 2011, the severance amount was reduced to $55,000 and she was paid the balance due to her.

On December 15, 2010, we entered into a termination agreement with Gloria McConnell, our former President (the “McConnell Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which Ms. McConnell was entitled to receive $120,000, as severance, payable over a two year period. In addition, pursuant to the McConnell Termination Agreement, we agreed to reissue to Ms. McConnell 12,576,811 shares of our common stock. These shares had previously been contributed to capital by Ms. McConnell in October 2010 in order to enable us to fulfill our obligation to issue shares to third parties. Further, pursuant to the McConnell Termination Agreement, Ms. McConnell has agreed to certain restrictive covenants, including non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions, and limitations on the number of shares that she can sell to 250,000 shares on any particular day and 5,000,000 shares during any three calendar month period. In November 2011, we entered into an agreement with Ms. McConnell pursuant to which we paid her $22,500 in full settlement of our outstanding $87,500 obligation to her.

Effective January 29, 2011, we terminated our relationship with Tommy Berger, a founder of the Company. Pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of a termination agreement between the parties (the “Berger Termination Agreement”), Mr. Berger waived any rights he may have had pursuant to a certain employment agreement entered into with us in August 2010 (to which Stem Cell Research Company, LLC (“Stem Cell Research”) was also a party) (the “Berger Employment Agreement”) and we agreed to pay to Stem Cell Research $180,000 over a 12 month period. In addition, pursuant to the Berger Termination Agreement, each of Mr. Berger and Stem Cell Research has agreed to certain restrictive covenants, including non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions, restrictions on actions that would cause a change of control and limitations on the number of shares that they can sell to 250,000 shares on any particular day and 5,000,000 shares during any three calendar month period. Further, concurrently with the execution of the Berger Termination Agreement, in connection with our agreement to pay to Stem Cell Research the $180,000 payment discussed above, Stem Cell Research executed a shareholder agreement and irrevocable proxy pursuant to which it has agreed that, for a three year period, it would vote its shares of common stock as directed by Mr. Weinreb. We are aware that, in the Berger Employment Agreement, Stem Cell Research was referred to as Mr. Berger’s “company”; however, we have no knowledge as to any control that Mr. Berger may currently exercise with respect to Stem Cell Research and, as previously indicated, we have been advised that Ms. McConnell is the President and sole member of Stem Cell Research. In November 2011, we entered into an agreement with Stem Cell Research and Mr. Berger pursuant to which we paid Stem Cell Research $50,000 in full settlement of our outstanding $100,000 obligation to it.

Proodian and Weinreb entered into a Shareholder Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy pursuant to which Mr. Proodian has agreed that, for a period of three years, he would vote his shares of common stock as determined by Mr. Weinreb.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Three directors are to be elected at the meeting to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their respective successors shall have been elected and have qualified.

Nominees for Directors

All three nominees are currently members of our Board of Directors. The following table sets forth each nominee’s age as of December 21, 2011, the positions and offices presently held with us, and the year in which he became a director.

Name	Age		Positions Held	Director Since
Mark Weinreb		58	Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and Director		2010
A. Jeffrey Radov		59	Director		2011
Joel San Antonio		59	Director		2011

Mark Weinreb

Mark Weinreb has served as our Chief Executive Officer since October 2010 and as our Chairman of the Board since April 2011. From February 2003 to October 2009, Mr. Weinreb served as President of NeoStem, Inc., a public international biopharmaceutical company engaged in, among other things, adult stem cell-related operations. From October 2009 to October 2010, he was subject to a non-competition agreement with NeoStem and was not engaged in business. Mr. Weinreb also served as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of NeoStem from February 2003 to June 2006. In 1976, Mr. Weinreb joined Bio Health Laboratories, Inc., a state-of-the-art medical diagnostic laboratory providing clinical testing services for physicians, hospitals, and other medical laboratories. He became the laboratory administrator in 1978 and then an owner and the laboratory’s Chief Operating Officer in 1982. In such capacity, he oversaw all technical and business facets, including finance and laboratory science technology. Mr. Weinreb left Bio Health Labs in 1989 when the business was sold. In 1992, Mr. Weinreb founded Big City Bagels, Inc., a national chain of franchised upscale bagel bakeries and became Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of such entity. Big City Bagels went public in 1995, and in 1999 Mr. Weinreb redirected the company and completed a merger with an Internet service provider. From 2000 to 2002, Mr. Weinreb served as Chief Executive Officer of Jestertek, Inc., a software development company pioneering gesture recognition and control using advanced interactive proprietary video technology. Mr. Weinreb received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1975 from Northwestern University and a Master of Science degree in 1982 in Medical Biology from C.W. Post, Long Island University. We believe that Mr. Weinreb’s executive-level management experience, his extensive experience in the adult stem cell sector and his service on our Board since October 2010 give him the qualifications and skills to serve as one of our directors.

A. Jeffrey Radov

A. Jeffrey Radov became a member of our Board in April 2011. Mr. Radov is an entrepreneur and businessman with 35 years of experience in media, communications and financial endeavors. Since 2002, he has served as the Managing Partner of Walworth Group, which provides consulting and advisory services to a variety of businesses, including hedge funds, media, entertainment and Internet companies, financial services firms and early stage ventures.

Mr. Radov was a founding executive of About.Com, Inc., an online information source, and was its EVP of Business Development and Chief Financial Officer from its inception. In 1996, prior to founding About.Com, Mr. Radov was a Director at Prodigy Systems Company, a joint venture of IBM and Sears. Mr. Radov was also a principal in the management of a series of public limited partnerships that invested in the production and distribution of more than 130 major motion pictures.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for assisting the Board in identifying and recruiting qualified individuals to become Board members and selecting director nominees to be presented for Board and/or shareholder approval. The members of the Nominating Committee currently are Messrs. Radov and San Antonio. Our Board has adopted a written charter for the Nominating Committee. A copy of the charter is available on our website, www.biorestorative.com. While the Nominating Committee does not have a formal policy on diversity for members of the Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee considers diversity of background, experience and qualifications in evaluating prospective Board members. The Nominating Committee will consider qualified director candidates recommended by shareholders if such recommendations are provided in accordance with the procedures set forth in the section entitled “Shareholder Proposals - Shareholder Nominees” below. At this time, the Nominating Committee has not adopted minimum criteria for consideration of a proposed candidate for nomination.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the management of our business and affairs with respect to the compensation of our employees, including the determination of the compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers, the approval of one or more stock option plans and other compensation plans covering our employees, and the grant of stock options and other awards pursuant to stock option plans and other compensation plans. The members of the Compensation Committee currently are Messrs. Radov and San Antonio. Our Board has adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee. A copy of the charter is available on our website, www.biorestorative.com.

The Compensation Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees and may delegate authority to one or more designated members of the Compensation Committee. Our Chief Executive Officer assists the Compensation Committee from time to time by advising on a variety of compensation matters, such as assisting the Compensation Committee in determining appropriate salaries and bonuses for our executive officers. The Compensation Committee has the authority to consult with management and to engage the services of outside advisors, experts and others to assist it in its efforts.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors as a whole is responsible for our risk oversight. Our executive officers address and discuss with our Board of Directors our risks and the manner in which we manage or mitigate such risks. While our Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility for our risk oversight, our Board of Directors works in conjunction with its committees on certain aspects of its risk oversight responsibilities. In particular, our Audit Committee focuses on financial reporting risks and related controls and procedures and our Compensation Committee strives to create compensation practices that do not encourage excessive levels of risk taking that would be inconsistent with our strategies and objectives.

Since October 2010, Mark Weinreb has served as our Chief Executive Officer. Since April 2011, he has also served as our Chairman of the Board. We do not currently have a lead independent director. At this time, our Board believes that Mr. Weinreb’s combined role as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board enables us to benefit from Mr. Weinreb’s significant institutional and industry knowledge and experience, while at the same time promoting unified leadership and direction for our Board and executive management without duplication of effort and cost. Given our history, position, Board composition and the relatively small size of our company and management team, at this time, our Board believes that we and our shareholders are best served by our current leadership structure.

Report of the Audit Committee

In overseeing the preparation of the financial statements of BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.

Recommendation

PROPOSAL 2: AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

TO INCREASE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Our Board of Directors has adopted resolutions approving and submitting to a vote of the shareholders an amendment to Article II of our Articles of Incorporation (“Articles”) to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 800,000,000 to 1,500,000,000.

Our Board of Directors believes that the availability of additional authorized shares will provide us with the flexibility in the future to issue shares of our common stock for general corporate purposes, including raising additional capital, settling outstanding obligations, and in connection with present and future employee benefit programs, and acquisitions of companies or assets.

Our Board of Directors will determine whether, when and on what terms the issuance of our shares of our common stock may be warranted in connection with any future actions. No further action or authorization by our shareholders will be necessary before the issuance of the additional shares of our common stock authorized under our Articles, except as may be required for a particular transaction by applicable law or regulatory agencies or by the rules of any stock market or exchange on which our common stock may then be listed.

Our Articles authorize the issuance of 800,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. As of December 16, 2011, there were 603,683,811 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. In addition, as of such date, 26,150,000 shares of common stock were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants.

Although our Board has no current plans to utilize the additional authorized shares to entrench present management, it may, in the future, be able to use the additional common stock as a defensive tactic against hostile takeover attempts. The authorization of such additional common stock will have no current anti-takeover effect. No hostile take-over attempts are, to our management’s knowledge, currently threatened. There are no provisions in our Articles or By-Laws or other material agreements to which we are a party that would, in our management’s judgment, have an anti-takeover effect; however, as described under “Shareholder Proposals”, our By-Laws contain certain advance notification requirements for nominations of persons for election to our Board and proposals by shareholders at annual meeting of shareholders.

The relative rights and limitations of the common stock would remain unchanged under the amendment. Our shareholders do not currently possess, nor upon the approval of the proposed authorized share increase will they acquire, preemptive rights, that would entitle such persons, as a matter of right, to subscribe for the purchase of any shares, rights, warrants or other securities or obligations convertible into, or exchangeable for, our securities. Therefore, the proposed increase in authorized shares could result in the dilution of the ownership interest of existing shareholders.

Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 800,000,000 to 1,500,000,000.

PROPOSAL 3: AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Our Board of Directors has approved and recommended a proposal to authorize the Board to effect a reverse stock split of all of our outstanding common stock at a ratio of not less than 1-for-10 and not more than 1-for-150, with our Board having the discretion as to whether or not the reverse split is to be effected, and with the exact ratio of any reverse split to be set at a whole number within the above range as determined by our Board in its sole discretion. The proposal provides that our Board will have sole discretion pursuant to Section 78.390(5) of the Nevada Revised Statutes to elect, at any time before the first anniversary date of this meeting, as it determines to be in our best interest, whether or not to effect the reverse split, and, if so, the number of our shares of common stock between and including 1-for-10 and 1-for-150 which will be combined into one share of our common stock. Our Board believes that the availability of alternative reverse split ratios will provide it with the flexibility to implement the reverse stock split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for us and our shareholders. In determining whether to implement the reverse split following the receipt of shareholder approval, our Board of Directors may consider, among other things, factors such as:

-	the historical trading price and trading volume of our common stock;

-	the then prevailing trading price and trading volume of our common stock and the anticipated impact of the reverse split on the trading market for our common stock;

-	our ability to have our shares of common stock listed on a stock exchange such as The Nasdaq Stock Market;

-	the anticipated impact of the reverse split on our ability to raise additional financing;

-	which alternative split ratio would result in the greatest overall reduction in our administrative costs; and

-	prevailing general market and economic conditions.

If our Board determines that effecting the reverse split is in our best interest, the reverse split will become effective upon filing of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The amendment filed thereby will set forth the number of shares to be combined into one share of our common stock within the limits set forth in this proposal. Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, each shareholder will hold the same percentage of our outstanding common stock immediately following the reverse split as such shareholder holds immediately prior to the reverse split.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

The Board believes that a reverse stock split is desirable for a two reasons. First, the Board believes that a reverse stock split could improve the marketability and liquidity of our common stock. Second, the Board believes that a reverse stock split may facilitate the listing of our common stock on a stock exchange such as The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Marketability

Our Board of Directors believes that the increased market price of our common stock expected as a result of implementing a reverse split could improve the marketability and liquidity of our stock and will encourage interest and trading in our stock. Theoretically, the number of shares outstanding and the per share price should not, by themselves, affect the marketability of our common stock, the type of investor who acquires them, or our reputation in the financial community. However, in practice, this is not necessarily the case, as many investors look upon low-priced stocks as unduly speculative in nature and, as a matter of policy, avoid investment in such securities. Our Board is aware of the reluctance of many leading brokerage firms to recommend low-priced stocks to their clients. Further, a variety of brokerage house policies and practices tend to discourage individual brokers within those firms from dealing in low-priced stocks. Institutional investors typically are restricted from investing in companies whose stocks trade at less than five dollars per share. Stockbrokers are also subject to restrictions on their ability to recommend stocks trading at less than five dollars per share because of the general presumption that such securities may be highly speculative. In addition, the structure of trading commissions tends to have an adverse impact upon holders of low-priced stocks because the brokerage commission on a sale of such securities generally represents a higher percentage of the sales price than the commission on a relatively higher-priced issue.

The reverse split is intended, in part, to result in a price level for our common stock that will increase investor interest and eliminate the resistance of brokerage firms. On December 21, 2011, the closing bid price for our common stock, as reported by the OTCQB Market, was $.012 per share. No assurances can be given that the market price for our common stock will increase in the same proportion as the reverse split or, if increased, that such price will be maintained. In addition, no assurances can be given that the reverse split will increase the price of our common stock to a level in excess of the five dollar threshold discussed above or otherwise to a level that is attractive to brokerage houses and institutional investors.

Stock Exchange Requirements

Our common stock is currently traded on the OTCQB Market. Such trading market is considered to be less efficient than that provided by a stock exchange such as The Nasdaq Stock Market. Our Board of Directors is currently considering whether to seek to have our common stock listed on a stock exchange such as The Nasdaq Stock Market. In order for us to list our common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market, we must fulfill certain listing requirements. Set forth below are certain salient minimum quantitative listing requirements that we must meet, together with a comparison of how we currently stand with regard to the requirements.

Category	Nasdaq Requirement	BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.
Stockholders’ equity (deficiency)	$5,000,000	($3,343,969) (as of September 30, 2011)
Minimum bid price	$4	$.012 (as of December 21, 2011)
Publicly-held shares (1)	1,000,000	447,563,429 (as of December 21, 2011)
Market value of publicly-held shares (1)	$15,000,000	$8,056,142 (as of December 21, 2011)
Shareholders (round lot holders) (2)	300	156 (as of December 21, 2011)

_______________

(1)	“Publicly-held shares” is defined as total shares outstanding less any shares held by officers, directors and beneficial owners of 10% or more of our outstanding shares.

(2)	Round lot holders are holders of 100 shares or more.

The Nasdaq Stock Market also requires that an applicant have at least three market makers and comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including having at least two Audit Committee members (a majority of whom must be independent) and that a majority of our Board members be independent. Currently, we satisfy the Audit Committee and Board requirements.

No assurance can be given that, even if we satisfy the above listing requirements, we will apply to have our common stock listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, or that, if we do so apply, that our application will be approved, or that, if our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, we will be able to satisfy the maintenance requirements for continued listing.

Effects of the Reverse Split

If the reverse stock split is approved and implemented, the principal effect will be to proportionately decrease the number of outstanding shares of our common stock based on the reverse stock split ratio selected by our Board of Directors. We have registered our common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and we are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. Our shares of common stock currently trade on the OTCQB Market. The reverse stock split will not affect the registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act or the listing of our common stock on the OTCQB Market. Following the reverse stock split, our common stock will continue to be listed on the OTCQB Market under the symbol "BRTX," although it will be considered a new listing with a new CUSIP number.

Proportionate voting rights and other rights and preferences of the holders of our common stock will not be affected by the proposed reverse stock split (other than as a result of the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares). For example, a holder of 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split will generally continue to hold 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately after the reverse stock split. Moreover, the number of shareholders of record will not be affected by the reverse stock split (except to the extent any shareholders are cashed out as a result of holding fractional shares).

Board Discretion to Implement or Abandon Reverse Split

The reverse split will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by our Board that the reverse split (with an exchange ratio determined by our Board as described above) is in our best interest. Such determination shall be based upon certain factors, including, but not limited to, our ability to meet stock exchange listing requirements, existing and expected marketability and liquidity of our common stock and the expense of effecting the reverse split. Notwithstanding approval of the reverse split by our shareholders, our Board may, in its sole discretion, abandon the proposal and determine, prior to the effectiveness of any filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, not to effect the reverse split. If our Board fails to implement the reverse split on or prior to the one year anniversary of this meeting, shareholder approval again would be required prior to implementing any reverse stock split.

Reduction in Authorized Common Stock

Shareholder approval of this proposal shall constitute authorization for us to reduce the number of our authorized shares of common stock as provided for below. The Board may reduce the number of our authorized shares to a number which results in a ratio of authorized shares of common stock to issued and outstanding shares of common stock that most closely approximates the ratio of our authorized common stock to issued and outstanding common stock immediately prior to the reverse split. Accordingly, assuming that our Board determines to implement a 1-for-10 reverse split, our Board would have the authority to reduce our authorized common stock in the same proportion. This would result in our authorized common stock being reduced from 1,500,000,000 (assuming that Proposal 2 is approved) to 150,000,000. However, our Board will have the sole discretion to determine whether or not to implement such a reduction in authorized common stock in connection with the reverse split. Alternatively, our Board will have the sole discretion to implement a reduction in authorized common stock to a lesser degree such that, following the reverse split, the ratio of authorized common stock to issued and outstanding common stock would be higher than that in effect prior to the reverse split. Therefore, in the event that our Board determines to implement a reverse split but not to implement a proportionate reduction in authorized common stock, we would, in effect, have authority to issue a greater number of shares of common stock than prior to the reverse split. There are no written or oral plans, arrangements or understandings with respect to the issuance of any such additional common stock.

Effective Date

If implemented by our Board, the reverse split would become effective upon the filing of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. Except as explained below with respect to fractional shares, on the effective date, shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto will be combined and converted, automatically and without any action on the part of the shareholders, into new shares of common stock in accordance with reverse split ratio determined by the Board within the limits set forth in this proposal.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the reverse split. Instead, shareholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares will be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the closing price of our shares of common stock on the day immediately preceding the effective date of the reverse split, as reported on the OTCQB Market (or, if the closing price of our common stock is not then reported on the OTCQB Market, then the fair market value of our shares of common stock as determined by the Board) by (ii) the number of shares of our common stock held by such shareholder that would otherwise have been exchanged for such fractional share interest.

Other Effect

If approved, the reverse split will result in some shareholders owning "odd-lots" of fewer than 100 shares of common stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd-lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in "round-lots" of even multiples of 100 shares.

Exchange of Stock Certificates

As soon as practicable after the effective date, shareholders will be notified that the reverse split has been effected. Our transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. We refer to such person as the “exchange agent.” Holders of pre-reverse split shares (“Old Shares”) will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-reverse split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-reverse split shares (“New Shares”) in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by us. No new certificates will be issued to a shareholder until such shareholder has surrendered such shareholder’s outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. Shareholders should not destroy any stock certificate and should not submit any certificates until requested to do so.

No Appraisal Rights

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, our shareholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the reverse split.

Tax Consequences

The proposed reverse split is being presented for approval based upon the expectation that, among other things, no gain or loss will be recognized by the holders of our common stock (except to the extent of cash, if any, received in lieu of fractional shares) or by BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. A holder who receives cash will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the portion of the tax basis of the Old Shares allocated to the fractional share interest and the cash received.

Each shareholder will have a basis in the New Shares equal to the basis of the Old Shares (except to the extent the basis is allocated to fractional shares). For purposes of determining whether gain or loss on a subsequent disposition is long-term or short-term, the holding period of the New Shares will include the period during which the corresponding Old Shares were held, provided such corresponding Old Shares were held as a capital asset on the date of filing of the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation.

No ruling has been requested from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the foregoing tax matters. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the effect of the reverse split under applicable tax laws.

Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the proposal to authorize our Board to effect the reverse split.

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

In February 2011, we engaged Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accountants to audit our financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, for the years then ended and for the period from December 30, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2010; prior to that date, we did not have independent auditors. Marcum LLP has been selected as our independent registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2011. It is not expected that representatives of Marcum LLP will attend the meeting.

The following is a summary of the fees billed to us by Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accountants, for professional services rendered with respect to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Audit Fees(1)	$	100,845	$	45,564
Audit-Related Fees(2)		-		-
Tax Fees(3)	$	8,595		-
All Other Fees(4)		-		-

_________

(1)	Audit Fees consist of fees billed for services rendered for the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

(2)	Audit-Related Fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.”

(3)	Tax Fees consist of fees billed for professional services related to preparation of our U.S. federal and state income tax returns and tax advice.

(4)	All Other Fees consist of fees billed for products and services provided by our independent registered public accountants, other than those disclosed above.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accountants, and approves in advance any services to be performed by the independent registered public accountants, whether audit-related or not. The Audit Committee reviews each proposed engagement to determine whether the provision of services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accountants. Substantially all of the fees shown above were pre-approved by our Board as the Audit Committee was not established until April 2011.

To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by our Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 60 days prior to the scheduled date of the meeting (regardless of any postponements, deferrals or adjournments of the meeting to a later date); provided, however, if no notice is given and no public announcement is made to the shareholders regarding the date of the meeting at least 75 days prior to the meeting, the shareholder's notice shall be valid if delivered to or mailed and received by our Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 15 days following the day on which the notice or public announcement of the date of the meeting was given or made.

A shareholder’s notice must set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting certain information regarding the proposal, including the following:

·	a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend either our Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws, the language of the proposed amendment;

·	the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the shareholder proposing such business;

Shareholder Nominees

In order for a shareholder to nominate a candidate for director, under our By-Laws, timely notice of the nomination must be received by us in advance of the meeting. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by our Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 60 days prior to the scheduled date of the meeting (regardless of any postponements, deferrals or adjournments of the meeting to a later date); provided, however, if no notice is given and no public announcement is made to the shareholders regarding the date of the meeting at least 75 days prior to the meeting, the shareholder's notice shall be valid if delivered to or mailed and received by our Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 15 days following the day on which the notice or public announcement of the date of the meeting was given or made

The shareholder sending the notice of nomination must describe various matters, including the following:

·	the name, age, business and residential addresses, and occupation or employment of the nominee;

·	the number of shares of our capital stock beneficially owned by the nominee;

·	the written consent by the nominee, agreeing to serve as a director if elected;

·	a description of all arrangements or understandings between the nominee and any other person or persons (naming such persons) regarding the nomination;

·	any other information relating to such nominee required to be disclosed in a proxy statement;

·	such other information as we may reasonably request to determine the eligibility of the proposed nominee to serve as one of our directors;

·	the name, business address and residential address of the shareholder;

·	the number of shares of our capital stock beneficially owned by the shareholder;

·	a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and the nominee regarding the nomination; and

·	a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and any other person or persons (naming such persons) regarding the nomination.

These requirements are separate from and in addition to the requirements a shareholder must meet to have a proposal included in our proxy statement.

Any notice given pursuant to the foregoing requirements must be sent to our Secretary at 555 Heritage Drive, Suite 130, Jupiter, Florida 33458. The foregoing is only a summary of the provisions of our By-Laws that relate to shareholder proposals and shareholder nominations for director. Any shareholder desiring a copy of our By-Laws will be furnished one without charge upon receipt of a written request therefor.

However, the enclosed proxy gives discretionary authority in the event that any other matters should be presented.
