(OTC PINK: BSEM) today announced it has acquired, through its wholly owned subsidiary, the TEN® Health Behavior Change Platform and its associated patents, source code, website, and currently functioning mobile applications from Elencee, Inc. ("Elencee") on May 18, 2016 for 50,000 shares of restricted common stock of BSEM. The acquisition was completed pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the "APA") entered into between BioStem Wellness, Inc. ("Wellness"), a wholly owned subsidiary of BSEM, and Elencee on May 18, 2016, and the acquisition was closed the same day.

Pursuant to the Royalty Agreement, Elencee will receive a 10% royalty in perpetuity on the adjusted gross profit earned on the acquired assets, and BSEM granted back to Elencee a right to use certain of the acquired assets for certain limited purposes related to the development of a computer game for children to educate them on healthy eating habits and certain related matters. BSEM has a right of first refusal under the Royalty Agreement to market the product if and when it is developed.
In addition, under the Royalty Agreement, if any products covered by the Royalty Agreement (including the intellectual property related thereto) are sold by BSEM to a bona-fide third party within three years of the closing of the acquisition, Elencee will receive 50% of the sale proceeds, with that percentage dropping to 25% for any sale between three years and five years after the closing of the acquisition, and to 10% for any sale more than five years after the closing of the acquisition.

A technology platform, TEN is an intuitive personalized system that teaches people how to be healthier. The program promotes food and ingredient servings and health behaviors which decrease disease risk and increase life expectancy. Users whose goal is to lose weight can choose the personalized healthy weight loss program.
Traditional health and weight loss programs have a limited view on what is "healthy" by being calorie-focused. Only looking at calories doesn't teach people what foods and behaviors to change in order to be healthier and lose weight. That is why most people gain their weight back when they finish a calorie-focused program. In fact, calorie-focused programs reinforce bad behaviors like avoidance of healthy fats.
The TEN Platform (available at www.beTEN.com), includes a patented system promoting moderation, which departs from traditional "all or none" programs. This approach is more realistic for people who want to incorporate healthier habits within their day, without going to extremes. Extremes are short-lived and can be damaging, often having a negative effect.
BioStem Technologies, Inc.'s strategic acquisition of the TEN platform expands our product line and continues to build our ability to offer people access to our expansive health, wellness and anti-aging programs, and to our products online and via mobile apps.
