QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING

What am I voting on?

At this year’s meeting, you will be asked to:

(1)	Elect three (3) “Class III” directors, each of whom will be elected for a term of three years, or until the election and qualification of their successors;

(2)	Ratify the appointment of BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015; and

(3)	Transact any other business properly brought before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, and how many votes do they have?

Stockholders of record at the close of business on September 21, 2015 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. Pursuant to the rights of our stockholders contained in our charter documents each share of our common stock has one vote. There were 11,620,165 shares of common stock outstanding on September 21, 2015. From November 10, 2015 through November 20, 2015, you may inspect a list of stockholders eligible to vote. If you would like to inspect the list, please call Tony Liu, our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, at (408) 973-7884 to arrange a visit to our offices. In addition, the list of stockholders will be available for viewing by stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote?

You may vote over the Internet, by telephone, by mail or in person at the Annual Meeting. Please be aware that if you vote by telephone or over the Internet, you may incur costs such as telephone and Internet access charges for which you will be responsible.

Vote by Internet. You can vote via the Internet at www.iproxydirect.com/CBMG. You will need to use the control number appearing on your proxy card to vote via the Internet. You can use the Internet to transmit your voting instructions up until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 19, 2015. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day. If you vote via the Internet, you do not need to vote by telephone or return a proxy card.

Vote by Telephone. You can vote by telephone by calling the toll-free telephone number 1-866-752-VOTE(8683). You will need to use the control number appearing on your proxy card to vote by telephone. You may transmit your voting instructions from any touch-tone telephone up until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 19, 2015. Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day. If you vote by telephone, you do not need to vote over the Internet or return a proxy card.

Vote by Mail. If you received a printed proxy card, you can vote by marking, dating and signing it, and returning it in the postage-paid envelope provided to Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc., c/o Issuer Direct, 500 Perimeter Park Drive, Suite D, Morrisville, NC 27560. Please promptly mail your proxy card to ensure that it is received prior to the closing of the polls at the Annual Meeting.

Vote in Person at the Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting and plan to vote in person, we will provide you with a ballot at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the stockholder of record and you have the right to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in the name of your broker or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. As a beneficial owner, if you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you will need to bring to the Annual Meeting a legal proxy from your broker or other nominee authorizing you to vote those shares.

If you vote by any of the methods discussed above, you will be designating Tony Liu, our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, as your proxy, and he will vote your shares on your behalf as you indicate.

Submitting a proxy will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you will receive separate voting instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. The availability of Internet voting will depend on the voting process of your bank, broker or other nominee. Please check with your bank, broker or other nominee and follow the voting instructions it provides.

Can I receive future materials via the internet?

If you vote by internet, simply follow the prompts for enrolling in electronic proxy delivery service. This will reduce the Company’s printing and postage costs in the future, as well as the number of paper documents you will receive.

What is a proxy?

A proxy is a person you appoint to vote on your behalf. By using the methods discussed above, you will be appointing Tony Liu, our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary as your proxy. He will vote on your behalf, and will have the authority to appoint a substitute to act as proxy. If you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting, please vote by proxy so that your shares of common stock may be voted.

How will my proxy vote my shares?

If you are a stockholder of record, your proxy will vote according to your instructions. If you choose to vote by mail and complete and return the enclosed proxy card but do not indicate your vote, your proxy will vote “FOR” the election of the nominated slate of Class III directors (see Proposal 1); and “FOR” the ratification of BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 (see Proposal 2). We do not intend to bring any other matter for a vote at the Annual Meeting, and we do not know of anyone else who intends to do so. Your proxies are authorized to vote on your behalf, however, using their best judgment, on any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting.

You should instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares. If you do not give voting instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee, the bank, broker or other nominee will determine if it has the discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter. Under applicable rules, brokers have the discretion to vote on routine matters, such as the ratification of the selection of accounting firms, but do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters. Under the regulations applicable to New York Stock Exchange member brokerage firms (many of whom are the record holders of shares of our common stock), the uncontested election of directors is no longer considered a routine matter. Matters related to executive compensation are also not considered routine. As a result, if you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares in street name, but do not give your broker or other nominee instructions on how to vote your shares with respect to these matters, votes may not be cast on your behalf. If your bank, broker or other nominee indicates on its proxy card that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular proposal, your shares will be considered to be “broker non-votes” with regard to that matter. Broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether enough votes are present to hold our Annual Meeting, but a broker non-vote will not otherwise affect the outcome of a vote on a proposal that requires a majority of the votes cast. With respect to a proposal that requires a favorable vote of a majority of the outstanding shares, a broker non-vote has the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

How do I change my vote?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting by:

●	Notifying our corporate Secretary, Tony Liu, in writing at 19925 Stevens Creek Blvd., Suite 100, Cupertino, California 95014, that you are revoking your proxy;

●

Submitting a proxy at a later date via the Internet, or by signing and delivering a proxy card relating to the same shares and bearing a later date than the date of the previous proxy prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting, in which case your later-submitted proxy will be recorded and your earlier proxy revoked; or

●	Attending and voting by ballot at the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you should check with your bank, broker or other nominee and follow the voting instructions provided.

What constitutes a quorum?

The holders of a majority of the Company’s eligible votes as of the record date, either present or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum. A quorum is necessary in order to conduct the Annual Meeting. If you choose to have your shares represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, you will be considered part of the quorum. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders present in person or by proxy may adjourn the meeting to a later date. If an adjournment is for more than 30 days or a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, we will provide notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

Election of Directors. For Proposal 1, the election of directors, the nominees will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. You may choose to vote, or withhold your vote, separately for each nominee. A properly executed proxy or voting instructions marked “WITHHOLD” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for the purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. For Proposal 2, the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of common stock entitled to vote must exceed the votes cast against the proposal, in order for the proposal to be approved.

Other Proposals. Any other proposal that might properly come before the meeting will require the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of common stock entitled to vote to exceed the votes cast against the proposal for the proposal to be approved, except when a different vote is required by law, our certificate of incorporation or our Bylaws. On any such proposal, abstentions will be counted as present and entitled to vote on that matter for purposes of establishing a quorum, but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast.

Abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to any matter will be counted as present and entitled to vote on that matter for purposes of establishing a quorum, but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of voting with respect to any of the Proposals.

What percentage of our common stock do our directors and officers own?

As of September 21, 2015, our current directors and executive officers beneficially owned approximately 10.27% of our common stock outstanding. See the discussion under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” on page 21 for more details.

Who is soliciting proxies, how are they being solicited, and who pays the cost?

We, on behalf of our Board, through our directors, officers, and employees, are soliciting proxies primarily by mail. Further, proxies may also be solicited in person, by telephone, or facsimile. We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. We will also reimburse stockbrokers and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to the owners of our common stock.

Who is our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, and will they be represented at the Annual Meeting?

BDO USA LLP (“BDO USA”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm auditing and reporting on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP (“BDO China”) has been appointed by our Board to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2015. We expect that representatives of BDO China will not be present at the Annual Meeting.

What are the recommendations of our Board?

The recommendations of our Board are set forth together with the description of each proposal in this Proxy Statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote:

	●	FOR the election of the three nominated Class III directors (see Proposal 1);

	●	FOR the ratification of BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 (see Proposal 2).

With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

If you sign and return your proxy card but do not specify how you want to vote your shares, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board.

GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY

Our business, property and affairs are managed by, or under the direction of, our Board, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Laws and our Bylaws. Members of the Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and other key members of management, by reviewing materials provided to them by management, and by participating in meetings of the Board and its committees comprised of certain directors (“Committees”).

Stockholders may communicate with the members of the Board, either individually or collectively, or with any independent directors as a group by writing to the Board at 19925 Stevens Creek Blvd., Suite 100, Cupertino, California, 95014. These communications will be reviewed by the office of the corporate Secretary who, depending on the subject matter, will (a) forward the communication to the director or directors to whom it is addressed or who is responsible for the topic matter, (b) attempt to address the inquiry directly (for example, where it is a request for publicly available information or a stock related matter that does not require the attention of a director), or (c) not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature or if it relates to an improper or irrelevant topic. At each meeting of the Board, the corporate Secretary presents a summary of communications received and will make those communications available to any director upon request.

Independence of Directors

In determining the independence of our directors, the Board applied the definition of “independent director” provided under the listing rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”). Pursuant to these rules, the Board concluded its annual review of director independence in September 2015. After considering all relevant facts and circumstances, the Board affirmatively determined that Messrs. Chun Kwok Alan Au, Terry Belmont, and David Bolocan, each of whom are now serving on the Board and are continuing to serve their terms, are each independent within the definition of independence under the NASDAQ rules. Tony Liu, Guotong Xu and Gerardus A. Hoogland are not independent directors. Additionally, Nadir Patel, the director nominated for election as Class III directors has been determined to meet the definition of independence under the NASDAQ rules. If the three director candidates nominated for Class III director positions are elected at the Annual Meeting, assuming our other directors remain in office, our Board will consist of a majority of four independent directors out of a total of nine directors on our Board.

Board Meetings; Annual Meeting Attendance

Our Board of Directors held 4 formal meetings and 5 actions for unanimous written consent during the most recently completed fiscal year. Each of the members of our Board of Directors was present at all of the Board of Directors meetings held. Other proceedings of the Board of Directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the corporate laws of the State of Delaware and our bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

We currently do not have a policy regarding the attendance of board members at the annual meeting of stockholders.

Board Committees

On February 20, 2013, the Board authorized formation of an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee and on March 12, 2013 adopted charters. Our independent directors have been appointed to these committees as follows:

Name	Audit Committee	Compensation Committee	Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee
Chun Kwok Alan Au		X	X

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. David Bolocan, Terry A. Belmont and Nadir Patel (serving as Chairman), each of whom are “independent” as defined under section 5605 (a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. In addition, the Board has determined that David Bolocan and Nadir Patel, both of whom are members of the Audit Committee qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter, which can be viewed on our website at www.cellbiomedgroup.com (under “Investors”).

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The following Report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate it by reference therein.

The Audit Committee of the Board has:

	●	reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 with management;

	●	discussed with the Company’s independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1 AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T; and

	●	received the written disclosures and letter from the independent auditors required by the applicable requirements of the Public Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditors communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP matters relating to its independence.

In reliance on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the financial statements audited by BDO USA LLP for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year.

Current members of the Audit Committee consist of Terry A. Belmont, David Bolocan, and Nadir Patel, each of whom is “independent” as defined in section 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. If reelected at the Annual Meeting, it is expected that Nadir Patel, who is “independent” as defined in section 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, will continue to serve on the Audit Committee as Chairman.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Chun Kwok Alan Au, David Bolocan acting as Chairman, each of whom is “independent” as defined in section 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules.

	●	review, approve and recommend to the Board the annual compensation (base salary, bonus and other benefits) for all of our executives;

	●	review, approve and recommend to the Board the aggregate number of equity awards to be granted to employees below the executive level;

	●	ensure that a significant portion of executive compensation is reasonably related to the long-term interest of our stockholders; and

	●	prepare certain portions of our annual Proxy Statement, including an annual report on executive compensation.

A copy of the charter of the Compensation Committee is available on our website at www.cellbiomedgroup.com (under “Investors”).

The Compensation Committee may form and delegate a subcommittee consisting of one or more members to perform the functions of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may engage outside advisers, including outside auditors, attorneys and consultants, as it deems necessary to discharge its responsibilities. The Compensation Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation expert or consultant to be used to provide advice on compensation levels or assist in the evaluation of director, President/Chief Executive Officer or senior executive compensation, including sole authority to approve the fees of any expert or consultant and other retention terms. In addition, the Compensation Committee considers, but is not bound by, the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer or President with respect to the compensation packages of our other executive officers.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, or the “Governance Committee”, consists of Messrs. Chun Kwok Alan Au, Nadir Patel and Terry Belmont (serving as Chairman), each of whom are “independent” as defined in section 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. If reelected at the Annual Meeting, it is expected that Nadir Patel, who is “independent” as defined in section 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, will continue to serve on the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee held 4 formal meetings during the most recently completed fiscal year. The role of the Governance Committee is to:

	●	evaluate from time to time the appropriate size (number of members) of the Board and recommend any increase or decrease;

	●	determine the desired skills and attributes of members of the Board and its committees, taking into account the needs of the business and listing standards;

A copy of the charter of the Governance Committee is available on our website at www.cellbiomedgroup.com (under “Investors”).

Policy with Regard to Stockholder Recommendations

The Governance Committee does not presently have a policy with regard to consideration of any director candidates recommended by our stockholders. No stockholder (other than members of the Governance Committee) has recommended a candidate to date.

Director Qualifications and Diversity

The Board seeks independent directors who represent a diversity of backgrounds and experiences that will enhance the quality of the Board’s deliberations and decisions. Candidates should have substantial experience with one or more publicly traded companies or should have achieved a high level of distinction in their chosen fields. The Board is particularly interested in maintaining a mix that includes individuals who are active or retired executive officers and senior executives, particularly those with experience in biomedicine, medical and drug regulation in China, intellectual property, early-stage companies, research and development, strategic planning, business development, compensation, finance, accounting and banking.

In evaluating nominations to the Board of Directors, the Governance Committee also looks for certain personal attributes, such as integrity, ability and willingness to apply sound and independent business judgment, comprehensive understanding of a director’s role in corporate governance, availability for meetings and consultation on Company matters, and the willingness to assume and carry out fiduciary responsibilities. The Governance Committee took these specifications into account in formulating and re-nominating its present Board members.

The current director candidates, were recommended by management and nominated by the full board of directors.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics, which applies to all our directors, officers and employees and comprises written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote the behavior described in Item 406 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. A copy of our “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Officers, Directors and Employees” is available on our website at www.cellbiomedgroup.com (under “About Us: Company Overview”). In the event that we make any amendments to, or grant any waivers of, a provision of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Officers, Directors and Employees that applies to the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer that requires disclosure under applicable SEC rules, we intend to disclose such amendment or waiver and the reasons therefor in a Form 8-K or in our next periodic report.

Conflicts of Interest

Members of our management are associated with other firms involved in a range of business activities. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and directors of our company. Although the officers and directors are engaged in other business activities, we anticipate they will devote an important amount of time to our affairs.

Our officers and directors are now and may in the future become shareholders, officers or directors of other companies, which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in business activities similar to ours. Accordingly, additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to such individuals acting on behalf of us or other entities. Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the attention of such individuals in the performance of their duties or otherwise. Currently, we do not have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to their attention and may relate to our business operations.

Our officers and directors are, so long as they are our officers or directors, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our plan of operation which come to their attention, either in the performance of their duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to us and the companies that they are affiliated with on an equal basis. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director. If we or the companies with which the officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said officers and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity. However, all directors may still individually take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so. Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect to such transactions.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

The Chairman of the Board, who is a different individual from the Chief Executive Officer, presides at all meetings of the Board. The Chairman is appointed on an annual basis by majority vote of the directors, excluding the vote of the appointee.

Enterprise risks are identified and prioritized by management and each prioritized risk is assigned to a Board committee or the full Board for oversight as follows:

Full Board - Risks and exposures associated with strategic, financial and execution risks and other current matters that may present material risk to our operations, plans, prospects or reputation.

Audit Committee - Risks and exposures associated with financial matters, particularly financial reporting, tax, accounting, disclosure, internal control over financial reporting, financial policies, investment guidelines and credit and liquidity matters.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee - Risks and exposures relating to corporate governance and management and director succession planning.

Compensation Committee - Risks and exposures associated with leadership assessment, and compensation programs and arrangements, including incentive plans.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

The Board of Directors reviews issues involving potential conflicts of interest, and reviews and approves all related party transactions, including those required to be disclosed as a “related party” transaction under applicable federal securities laws. The Board has not adopted any specific procedures for conducting reviews of potential conflicts of interest and considers each transaction in light of the specific facts and circumstances presented. However, to the extent a potential related party transaction is presented to the Board, the Company expects that the Board would become fully informed regarding the potential transaction and the interests of the related party, and would have the opportunity to deliberate outside of the presence of the related party. The Company expects that the Board would only approve a related party transaction that was in the best interests of, and fair to, the Company, and further would seek to ensure that any completed related party transaction was on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained in a transaction with an unaffiliated third party.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of our common stock. The rules promulgated by the SEC under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act require those persons to furnish us with copies of all reports filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 16(a). The information in this section is based solely upon a review of Forms 3, Forms 4, and Forms 5 received by us.

We believe that all of the Company's executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders have timely complied with their filing requirements during the year ended December 31, 2014, except that each of Au Chun Kwok Alan, Guo-Tong Xu and Jeffery H. Auerbach inadvertently did not timely file one SEC Form 3; Wen Tao Liu inadvertently reported late 2 acquisitions of common stock that transpired in 2014; Cao (William) Wei inadvertently reported late 3 acquisitions of common stock that transpired in 2014; David Bolocan and Andrew Chan inadvertently reported late 4 acquisitions of common stock and 2 acquisitions of stock option that transpired in 2014; Tony Liu inadvertently reported late one acquisition of common stock and 2 acquisitions of stock option that transpired in 2014; David Bolocan inadvertently reported late one acquisition of common stock that transpired in 2014.

Each nominee has agreed, if elected, to serve a three-year term or until the election and qualification of his successor. If any nominee is unable to stand for election, which circumstance we do not anticipate, the Board may provide for a lesser number of directors or designate a substitute. In the latter event, shares represented by proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee.

If a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, then nominees will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Compensation of Directors

Prior to the Merger, the Company compensated directors with equity grants as consideration for joining the Board and/or providing continued services as a director. Directors were not provided with cash compensation, although the Company would reimburse their expenses.

After the Merger, the Company determined that the annual cash compensation (prorated daily) to be paid to each director shall consist of $30,000 for each independent director and $20,000 for each non-independent director. In addition, each independent director of the Board is eligible to receive a non-qualified option grant under the Company’s stock incentive plan, under which such director’s initial option grant shall be for a number of shares of common stock as set forth in the Independent Director Agreement for each such director and shall include such other terms to be determined by the Board and or its Compensation Committee.

Non-Executive Director Agreement

The Company has and will continue to enter into agreements with independent non-executive directors, under which these directors will be paid $30,000 per year (prorated daily based on a 360 day year for any portion of the year if he serves for less than a full term) for services as a director. Independent directors shall also be eligible to receive a non-qualified option grant under the Plan to purchase either (i) 2,000 shares, if such director serves as a member of a committee, or (ii) 5,000 shares, if such director serves as a chairperson of a committee. Such options shall vest on the anniversary date of the director’s appointment to the committee or to his position as committee chair, as the case may be.

Risk Management in Compensation Policies and Procedures

Due to the Company's lack of cash flows, it has historically compensated its officers in stock rather than paying a cash salary. By compensating these officers in stock, we believe they have a greater incentive to take steps to increase the value of the Company's stock than they would if compensated in cash. As the Company's value is largely based on the value of the equity it receives from its clients, paying the officers using Company stock may incentivize them to take additional risks in an attempt to increase the value of the Company's stock.

Vote and Recommendation

The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the nominees will be required to approve each nominee. This means that the three nominees with the greatest number votes for election will be elected.

Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” each of the nominees.

PROPOSAL 2 – RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT

OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP (“BDO China”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was BDO USA, LLP (“BDO USA”).

Stockholder ratification of the selection of BDO China as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Board seeks such ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. Should the stockholders fail to ratify the selection of BDO China as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain that firm for fiscal year 2015. In making its recommendation to the Board that stockholders ratify the appointment of BDO China as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, the Audit Committee considered whether BDO China’s provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Audit Fees

The Company paid or accrued the following fees in each of the prior two fiscal years to its current and predecessor auditors of record.

	Year ended December 31, 2014		Year ended December 31, 2013

Audit fees
Current auditor of record	$	335,305	$	243,578
Predecessor auditors of record	$	3,257		131,019
Total of audit fees	$	338,562	$	374,597

Audit fees include fees for the audit of our annual financial statements, reviews of our quarterly financial statements, and related consents for documents filed with the SEC. All other fees include fees for auditing of listing agreement clients as required by the SEC for listing.

The Audit Committee is required to review and approve in advance the retention of the independent auditors for the performance of all audit and lawfully permitted non-audit services (if any) and the fees for such services. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to grant pre-approvals for the performance of non-audit services, and any such Audit Committee member who pre-approves a non-audit service must report the pre-approval to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. All of the services provided by our independent registered public accountants described above were approved by our Audit Committee.

Our principal accountants did not engage any other persons or firms other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

The Board has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), and has discussed with its auditors its independence from the Company. The Board has considered whether the provision of services other than audit services is compatible with maintaining auditor independence.

Resignation of BDO USA and Engagement of BDO China

On April 24, 2015, with the approval of its Audit Committee, the Company accepted the resignation of BDO USA as its independent registered public accounting firm.

During the period from August 26, 2013 (the date BDO USA was engaged) through the date of its resignation, the Company has not had any disagreements with BDO USA on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to BDO USA’s satisfaction, would have caused BDO USA to make reference in connection with BDO USA’s opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition during such periods and through the date of the resignation of BDO USA, there were no “reportable events” as the term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except certain material weaknesses in the internal controls over financial reporting as disclosed in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, BDO USA’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report for the year ended December 31, 2013 contained a going concern modification.

The Company provided BDO USA with a copy of the Form 8-K announcing BDO USA's resignation prior to its filing with the SEC on April 28, 2015 and requested that BDO USA furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC that provides that BDO USA agrees with the statements made above. A copy of BDO USA’s letter dated April 28, 2015 was attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K filed on the same date.

On April 24, 2015, with the approval of its Audit Committee, the Company engaged BDO China as its new independent registered public accounting firm.

BDO China was a component auditor in 2014 to audit CBMG’s significant business components, and was involved in assessing the application of accounting principles and audit issues. In addition, BDO China provided audit services to the Company in connection with its business combination with Beijing Agreen Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Except as set forth above, during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 and through the subsequent interim period prior to the Company’s engagement of BDO China, the Company did not consult with BDO China on either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, (2) the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (3) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as defined in item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. In addition, except as set forth above, BDO China did not provide any written or oral advice to the Company that BDO China concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.

Auditor Representatives at Annual Meeting

We expect that representatives of BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP will not be present at the Annual Meeting.

Vote Required and Recommendation

The affirmative vote of the holders of shares of common stock entitled to vote must exceed the votes cast against this proposal for the proposal to be approved.

The Board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” ratification of the appointment of BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 as described in this Proposal 2.

HealthCrest will also be entitled to certain transaction-based compensation under the Advisory Agreement. The term of the Agreement is between September 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015, provided either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days written notice after November 29, 2013.

At the closing of the merger, the Company, through its subsidiary EastBridge Sub, entered into employment agreements with each of Norman Klein and Keith Wong, as officers of EastBridge Sub. For further information about such agreements, see the discussion under the heading “Employment Agreements with Former Officers” on page 20, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 the accrued compensation liability to the officers was $-0- and $105,000, respectively.

The Company received advances from Mr. Cao, Mr. Wong and Mr. Klein, its current CEO and former CEO and CFO, respectively, during the course of business at a rate of 4.5% interest, which is the federal long term interest rate. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, advances payable to Mr. Cao were $6,037 and $7,194, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, advances payable to Mr. Wong were $8,500. As of December 31, 2013 advances payable to Mr. Klein were $22,090. As of December 31, 2014 no amounts remained payable to Mr. Wong or Mr. Klein.

The Company received income for cell kits with cell processing and storage from subsidiaries of Global Health for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, of approximately $179,000 and $204,900, respectively. This accounts for the entire fiscal year revenue of the Biomedicine segment.

Except as disclosed herein, there have been no transactions or proposed transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 for the last two completed fiscal years in which any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock, or any of their respective relatives, spouses, associates or affiliates, has had or will have any direct or material indirect interest.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

The Company’s Board of Directors reviews issues involving potential conflicts of interest, and reviews and approves all related party transactions, including those required to be disclosed as a “related party” transaction under applicable federal securities laws. The Board has not adopted any specific procedures for conducting reviews of potential conflicts of interest and considers each transaction in light of the specific facts and circumstances presented. However, to the extent a potential related party transaction is presented to the Board, the Company expects that the Board would become fully informed regarding the potential transaction and the interests of the related party, and would have the opportunity to deliberate outside of the presence of the related party. The Company expects that the Board would only approve a related party transaction that was in the best interests of, and fair to, the Company, and further would seek to ensure that any completed related party transaction was on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained in a transaction with an unaffiliated third party.

Director Independence

In determining the independence of our directors, the Board applied the definition of “independent director” provided under the listing rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”). Pursuant to these rules, and after considering all relevant facts and circumstances, the Board affirmatively determined that Messrs. David Bolocan, Terry A. Belmont, and Alan Au each of whom are now serving on the Board, are each independent within the definition of independence under the NASDAQ rules. The Board also affirmatively determined that Nadir Patel, the Class III Director nominee is independent within the definition of independence under the NASDAQ rules. Wen Tao (Steve) Liu, Wei (William) Cao, Guotong Xu, and Gerardus A. Hoogland, are not independent directors.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board does not intend to bring any other matters before the Annual Meeting and has no reason to believe any other matters will be presented. If other matters properly do come before the Annual Meeting, however, it is the intention of the persons named as proxy agents in the enclosed proxy card to vote on such matters as recommended by the Board, of if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

The Company will send instructions to stockholders entitled to notice of the Annual Meeting regarding how to access this Proxy Statement and the Company's Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
