NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT
GENERAL INFORMATION
To the Holders of Common Stock of Intellicell Biosciences, Inc.:
This Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is being furnished, pursuant to Section 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to the holders (the “Stockholders”) of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Intellicell Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), to notify the Stockholders that on June 25, 2014, the Company received a unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of its Series F Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series F Preferred Stock”), created by unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), as permitted by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended and which may be amended from time to time (“Amended Articles”). Each share of Series F Preferred Stock has the equivalent of 51,133,625 votes of Common Stock (based upon the 2,355,075,373 outstanding shares of Common Stock issued as of June 25, 2014). Currently, there are five (5) holders of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series F Stockholders” or the “Majority Stockholders”), holding fifty-one (51) shares of Series F Preferred Stock, resulting in the Series F Stockholders holding in the aggregate approximately 50.99% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company.
On June 24, 2014, the Board approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from Three Billion Five Hundred Million (3,500,000,000) shares of Common Stock to Ten Billion (10,000,000,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Authorized Share Increase”) and recommended to the Majority Stockholders that they approve the Authorized Share Increase.
On June 25, 2014 (the “Record Date”), the Majority Stockholders approved the Authorized Share Increase by written consent in lieu of a meeting in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes. Accordingly, your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of the Authorized Share Increase.
We will mail the Notice of Stockholder Action by Written Consent to the Stockholders on or about July ___, 2014.

INTRODUCTION
Intellicell Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation with principal executive offices located at 460 Park Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10022 (646.576.8700), is providing this information statement to you. We encourage you to read carefully this entire information statement, its annexes and the documents referred to in this information statement. You may obtain additional information about the Company by following the instructions under “Additional Information” below.
The Board believes the Authorized Share Increase is necessary and advisable in order to maintain the Company’s financing and capital raising ability and to generally maintain our flexibility in today’s competitive and rapidly changing environment.
Accordingly, it is the Board’s opinion that the Authorized Share Increase would better position the Company to attract potential business candidates and provide the Stockholders a greater potential return.
The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted can approve an action in lieu of conducting a special stockholders' meeting convened for the specific purpose of such action. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, require that in the event an action is approved by written consent, a company must provide prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action without a meeting to the stockholders of record who have not consented in writing to such action and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to a company.
In accordance with the foregoing, we will mail the Notice of Stockholder Action by Written Consent on or about July __, 2014.
This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the Authorized Share Increase approved by the Board of Intellicell Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and the holders of Series F Preferred Stock, which constitutes a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company.
Series F Preferred Stock
By unanimous written consent of the Board (as permitted under Nevada law), the number, designation, rights, preferences and privileges of the Series F Preferred Stock were established by the Board (as is permitted under Nevada law and by the Amended Articles).
On January 17, 2014, the Company filed a certificate of designations, rights and preferences (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada pursuant to which the Company set forth the designation, powers, rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions of the Series E Preferred Stock. On January 22, 2014 the Corporation filed a certificate of correction (the “Certificate of Correction”) with the Secretary of State of Nevada to change the name of the designation from “Series E Preferred Stock” to “Series F Preferred Stock.” Among other things, each one (1) share of the Series F Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to (x) 0.019607 multiplied by the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote (the “Numerator”), divided by (y) 0.49, minus (z) the Numerator. For purposes of illustration only, if the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote is 5,000,000, the voting rights of one share of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be equal to 102,036 (0.019607 x 5,000,000) / 0.49) – (0.019607 x 5,000,000) = 102,036).With respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or to which stockholders are entitled to give consent, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock without regard to class, except as to those matters on which separate class voting is required by applicable law, or the Company’s Amended Articles or bylaws.
By unanimous written consent of the Board, the Board issued an aggregate of fifty-one (51) shares of Series F Preferred Stock to five (5) individuals. As a result of the voting rights granted to the Series F Preferred Stock, the Series F Stockholders hold, in the aggregate, approximately 50.99% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company.
As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 2,355,075,373 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 15,058 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (iii) 7,250 shares of Series C Preferred Stock; (iv) 56,500 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and (vi) 51 shares of Series F Preferred Stock. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote, and are entitled to such number of votes equal to (a) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into on the record date of such vote multiplied by (b) ten (10). Holders of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock do not have voting rights.
Based on the foregoing, the total aggregate amount of votes entitled to vote regarding the approval of the Authorized Share Increase is 5,113,470,248. Pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes, at least a majority of the voting equity of the Company, or at least 2,556,735,125 votes, are required to approve the Authorized Share Increase by written consent. The Majority Stockholders, which hold in the aggregate 2,607,814,875 votes or approximately 50.99% of the voting equity of the Company, has voted in favor of the Authorized Share Increase thereby satisfying the requirement under the Nevada Revised Statutes that at least a majority of the voting equity vote in favor of a corporate action by written consent.
The following table sets forth the name of the holders of Series F Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by such holders, the total number of votes that such holders voted in favor of the Authorized Share Increase and the percentage of the issued and outstanding voting equity of the Company that voted in favor thereof:

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN
The Authorized Share Increase will become effective on the date that we file the Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. We intend to file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada promptly after the twentieth (20th) day following the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to the Stockholders.
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK
GENERAL
The number of authorized shares of our Common Stock will be increased from Three Billion Five Hundred Million (3,500,000,000) shares to Ten Billion (10,000,000,000) shares (the “Authorized Share Increase”).
PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
The Board believes the Authorized Share Increase is necessary and advisable in order to maintain our financing and capital raising ability and to generally maintain our flexibility in today’s competitive and rapidly changing environment. The additional Six Billion Five Hundred Million (6,500,000,000) shares of Common Stock so authorized will be available for issuance by the Board for stock splits or stock dividends, acquisitions, raising additional capital, stock options or other corporate purposes. The additional shares of Common Stock could be used for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments. Assurances cannot be provided that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value or that they will not adversely affect the Company’s business or the trading price of the Common Stock.
The immediate purpose for increasing the authorized shares is to provide enough shares required for the conversion of outstanding convertible securities. The additional shares of Common Stock may also be used for future issuances of stock options pursuant to employee benefit plans and to provide for issuances to satisfy conversions of future convertible debt or convertible preferred stock. The Company does not anticipate that it would seek authorization from the stockholders for issuance of such additional shares unless required by applicable law or regulations.
As of the date hereof, the Company currently has outstanding a secured convertible debenture to YA Global Investments, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“YA Global”), in the principal amount of $2,100,000. Such secured convertible debenture shall mature on or before March 11, 2015 and shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to 7.5%. At any time, and at its sole option, YA Global shall be entitled to convert a portion or all amounts of principal and interest due and outstanding under the debenture into shares of Common Stock at a price equal to 48.5% of the average of the three (3) lowest prices per share of reported trades (not on the same day) of the Common Stock on the OTC Markets or on the exchange which the Common Stock is then listed as quoted by Bloomberg, LP during the twenty (20) trading days preceding the conversion date. The Company also issued a warrant to YA Global entitling YA Global to purchase up to 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company has reserved 1,500,000,000 shares of Common Stock to honor its obligations under said secured convertible debenture and warrant.
The Company also has outstanding a convertible debenture to Dominion Capital LLC (“Dominion”) in the principal amount of $746,091.66, whereby the Company has agreed that it will keep reserved no less than one and one-half times (1.5x) the amount outstanding on the Debenture and execute a transfer agent instruction letter confirming the same. Such convertible debenture shall mature on or before March 24, 2015 and shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to 7.5%. At any time, and at its sole option, Dominion shall be entitled to convert a portion or all amounts of principal and interest due and outstanding under the debenture into shares of Common Stock at a price equal to 48.5% of the average of the three (3) lowest prices per share of reported trades (not on the same day) of the Common Stock on the OTC Markets or on the exchange which the Common Stock is then listed as quoted by Bloomberg, LP during the twenty (20) trading days preceding the conversion date.
The increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock and any subsequent issuance of such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders. Shares of authorized and unissued Common Stock could (within the limits imposed by applicable law and stock exchange regulations) be issued in one or more transactions which would make a change in control of the Company more difficult, and therefore less likely. Any such issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of Common Stock, and such additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company. The Board is not aware of any attempt to take control of the Company and has not presented this proposal with the intention that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common stock be used as a type of antitakeover device. Any additional Common Stock, when issued, would have the same rights and preferences as the shares of Common Stock presently outstanding.

Shares of Common Stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of June 24, 2014, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

In addition, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of stockholders’ meetings and to vote as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote, and shall be entitled to such number of votes equal to (a) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into on the record date of such vote multiplied by (b) ten (10).
