VANCOUVER, BC –
August 16, 2023 - RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. (OTCQB: REPCF) (TSXV: RP) (FRA: P6P2), (“RepliCel” or the “Company”), a company developing
next-generation technologies in aesthetics and orthopedics, announces the transition of a new Chief Financial Officer.
With great sorrow, RepliCel announces the passing of Simon Ma, our long tenured Chief Financial Officer. “Simon Ma
has been a valuable member of the team for many years, Simon’s deep commitment to the Company was always evident. We spent many late nights engaged on projects together. Simon’s commitment was unwavering, and he left an enduring impact on our team
and his legacy of integrity and leadership will continue to inspire us.” President & CEO Andrew Schutte stated.
David Kwok steps into the Chief Financial Officer role with a clear financial vision for the Company’s success. His
extensive expertise, honed while working with numerous public companies, positions RepliCel for the future. “David Kwok’s experience and expertise position him well to assume the role of Chief Financial Officer, David’s experience with public
companies for over 15 years will prove invaluable.” Andrew Schutte stated. David Kwok has been a Certified Professional Accountant for over 15 years and is a member of the Certified Professional Accountant of British Columbia since January 2008.

About RepliCel Life Sciences
RepliCel is a regenerative medicine company focused on developing cell therapies for aesthetic and orthopedic conditions affecting what
the Company believes is approximately one in three people in industrialized nations, including aging/sun-damaged skin, pattern baldness, and chronic tendon degeneration. These conditions, often associated with aging, are caused by a deficit of
healthy cells required for normal tissue healing and function. These cell therapy product candidates are based on RepliCel’s innovative technology, utilizing cell populations isolated from a patient’s healthy hair follicles.
The Company’s cell therapy product pipeline is comprised of RCT-01 for tendon repair, RCS-01 for skin rejuvenation, and RCH-01 for hair
restoration. RCH-01 has been the subject of successful safety and dose-finding clinical studies and is now the subject of its third clinical study evaluating efficacy for the treatment of male and female hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia. This
ongoing study is being funded by Shiseido Company Limited pursuant to a license agreement which has now been terminated but is the subject of an arbitration regarding Shiseido’s rights to the product for Asia. RepliCel maintains the undisputed
rights to RCH-01 for the rest of the world. RCT-01 and RCS-01 are exclusively licensed in Greater China to YOFOTO (China) Health Company. RepliCel and YOFOTO are currently co-developing these products in China. RepliCel maintains the rights to
these products outside of Greater China.
RepliCel has also developed a proprietary injection device (DermaPreciseTM) and related consumables, which is expected to
improve the administration of its cell therapy products and certain other injectables. YOFOTO has exclusively licensed the commercial rights for the DermaPrecise™ device and consumables in Greater China for dermatology applications and is expected
to first launch the product in Hong Kong upon it being approved for market launch in either the United States or Europe. MainPointe Pharmaceuticals has an exclusive distribution agreement for the DermaPrecise™ device and consumables in the United
States, subject to income. MainPointe is expected to fund the FDA approval process in the United States. Please visit replicel.com for additional
