LAS VEGAS, Sept. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cord Blood America, Inc. (www.cordblood-america.com) (OTC Bulletin Board: CBAI) ("CBAI" or the "Company"), the umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation company focused on bringing the life saving potential of stem cells to families nationwide and internationally, today announced that stockholders have approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 890,000,000. The Company currently has 250,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and approximately 249,999,364 shares of common stock were outstanding as of August 9, 2012.

"The Board believes that the increase in authorized common shares creates the ability for the Company to be able to extinguish the legacy debt instruments and their covenants. This, in conjunction with the significant operating improvements we have shown to date, will allow our team to vastly broaden our investor audience that can focus on tangible financial results to track our progress.  As a result of this, we have also brought in the investor relations team of Hayden IR with the initial goal of communicating the significant improvements we have made to date, management's expectations over the next twelve months and articulating how this correlates to improved shareholder value," commented Joseph Vicente, President of Cord Blood America. "We are now cash flow positive so the announced approval to increase our authorized shares is primarily to fix legacy issues. Operating activities have already shown marked sequential and year over year improvement while reducing corporate costs creating an advantageous time to improve the capital structure and bring the Company to the next level while broadening its appeal to a wider audience of potential investors."
