The disclosure set forth under Items 5.03 and 8.01 below is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

O n May 23, 2018, Fibrocell Science, Inc. (the “Company”) held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at which the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio within a range from 1-for-3 to 1-for-10, with the final ratio to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), in its sole discretion.

On May 23, 2018, the Board approved a one-for-five (1-for-5) reverse stock split of the Common Stock (“Reverse Stock Split”). On May 24, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (“Certificate of Amendment”) to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split. Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 24, 2018, each outstanding share of Common Stock will automatically combine into 1/5 of a share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would have otherwise resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the next whole number of shares.

The Reverse Stock Split affects all of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will also affect the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock, stock options, warrants and other exercisable or convertible instruments, all of which will be adjusted proportionately to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Each stockholder's percentage ownership in the Company and proportional voting power remains unchanged after the Reverse Stock Split, except for minor changes resulting from the rounding up of fractional shares.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be adjusted from 28,375,851 shares to approximately 5.7 million shares. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock and preferred stock under the Certificate of Incorporation remains the same, or 150,000,000 and 5,000,000, respectively.

The Common Stock will begin trading on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market at the open of the market on May 25, 2018. The Company’s trading symbol will remain “FCSC”. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 315721407.

The information set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by the terms contained in the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1.

Fibrocell Announces One-for-Five Reverse Stock Split Shares of Common Stock Will Begin Trading on Split-Adjusted Basis on May 25, 2018 EXTON, PA – May 24, 2018 – Fibrocell Science, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCSC), a gene therapy company focused on transformational autologous cell-based therapies for skin and connective tissue diseases, today announced that it will effect a one-for-five reverse stock split of its common stock at 5:00 pm ET today. Beginning with the opening of trading on May 25, 2018, the Company’s common stock will trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number 315721407. Fibrocell’s stockholders approved an amendment authorizing the reverse stock split at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 23, 2018. The specific one-for-five ratio was subsequently approved by the Company's Board of Directors and the reverse stock split was effected by filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The reverse stock split will be effected simultaneously for all outstanding shares of common stock and the ratio determined by the Board will be the same for all outstanding shares of common stock. The reverse stock split will affect all holders of shares of Fibrocell common stock uniformly and each stockholder will hold the same percentage of Fibrocell common stock outstanding immediately following the reverse stock split as that stockholder held immediately prior to the reverse stock split, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below. The reverse stock split will not reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock, or preferred stock, or change the par values of Fibrocell common stock (which will remain at $0.001 per share) or preferred stock (which will remain at $0.001 per share). No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Any fractional share of common stock that would otherwise have resulted from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split is intended to increase the per share trading price of the Company’s common stock to permit the Company to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market. Information for Stockholders Fibrocell’s transfer agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions (BCIS), will act as exchange agent for the reverse stock split, and will provide stockholders of record holding certificates representing pre-split shares of the Company's common stock as of the effective date with a letter of transmittal providing instructions for the exchange of stock certificates for post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares via a broker or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to the broker's or nominee's particular procedures for processing the reverse stock split, and will not be required to take any

action in connection with the reverse stock split. BCIS may be reached by telephone at 1-877- 830-4936.
