Exhibit 2
BOYALIFE GROUP LIMITED
Cesca Therapeutics Inc.
Investment Term Sheet
This term sheet sets forth the principal terms with respect to a potential transaction involving Boyalife Group Limited or its affiliates (the Investor) and Cesca Therapeutics Inc. (the Company).
As a major shareholder of the Company, the Investor observes that the Company has committed to be a leader in autologous cell-based therapies, yet lacks sufficient funds to support its phase III CLI clinical trial and other clinical programs. In addition, the Company is running a deficit in its Cord Blood Business Unit. The Investor believes that without any capital infusion, the Company will soon run into financial crisis that could lead to bankruptcy. As a result, the Investor believes it to be important for the Company to secure sufficient funds to complete the phase III CLI clinical trial. This term sheet sets forth a proposed investment by the Investor of an additional USD25 million into the Company, together with the Investors acquisition of the Companys money-losing Cord Blood Business Unit. The outcome of this proposal is to ensure the Company has sufficient funds to complete the phase III CLI clinical trial based on existing budget. THE CLOSING OF THIS PROPOSED TRANSACTION WILL LEAD TO A CHANGE OF CONTROL TO THE COMPANY.
Under no circumstances shall this term sheet constitute or be deemed to constitute a legally binding commitment or agreement on the part of any of the parties, nor shall it be construed as an undertaking or agreement by any such party to accept any of the terms or arrangements described in this term sheet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sections of this term sheet captioned Transaction Expenses, Exclusivity and Governing Law shall be binding on the Investor and the Company.

Purchase Price: |
The purchase price for the Common Stock will be USD2.91 per share (the Share Purchase Price), payable by the Investor in cash at the closing of the Investment (the Closing).

Additional Stock Issuance: | The Share Purchase Agreement will provide for the issuance by the Company to the Investor of an additional 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock for no additional consideration, if, at any time during the 36 months following the Closing, the Thirty Day Simple Moving Average Price of the Common Stock is below USD1.00 for 10 consecutive trading days. | |
Warrant Coverage: | At Closing, the Company will issue to the Investor 5-year warrants (the Warrants) to purchase additional shares of Common Stock at the same price as the Share Purchase Price.
