Cord Blood America Note Payable vs. Market Cap

LAS VEGAS, February 10, 2011. PRNewswire. Cord Blood America, Inc.(OTC Bulletin Board: CBAI.ob - News), the umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation companyfocused on bringing the life saving potential of stem cells to families nationwide and internationally, announced today a Special Meeting of its shareholders on April 21, 2011 to consider a proposal to effect a reverse stock split of one share for each 500 outstanding shares and then proportionally increase authorized shares.

"The Board of Directors believes that implementing a reverse stock split may increase the market price for CBAI common stock as fewer shares will be outstanding," said Matthew Schissler, CEO and co-founder. "It also believes that the reverse split may encourage future interest and trading in CBAI common stock."

"Additionally, our current cap structure limits strategic long term investment assisting in our acquisition program as well as other growth initiatives. We've had a great run on raising capital, but our future endeavors require a tighter capitalization," Mr. Schissler said. "We believe this may also assist the Company in its long term goal for placement on a more prestigious stock exchange."

Proxy information on voting is being distributed in a Schedule 14A filing available at www.sec.gov. Shareholders of record on March 10, 2011 may vote their proxy.
