Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The disclosure set forth in Item 5.02 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 24, 2010, Fibrocell Science, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Declan Daly, which replaced and terminated his prior employment agreement with the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Daly agreed to serve as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company for an initial term ending August 24, 2013, which may be renewed for an additional one-year term by mutual agreement. The agreement provides for an annual salary of $300,000. Mr. Daly is entitled to receive an annual bonus each year, payable subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s final audited financial statements, but in no case later than 120 days after the end of its most recently completed fiscal year. The final determination on the amount of the annual bonus will be made by the Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, if such committee has been formed), based on criteria established by the Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, if such committee has been formed). The targeted amount of the annual bonus shall be 50% of Mr. Daly’s base salary, although the actual bonus may be higher or lower.

Under the agreement, Mr. Daly was granted a ten-year option to purchase 400,000 shares at an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of execution of the agreement, or $0.55 per share. The options vest as follows: (i) 40,000 shares upon execution of the agreement; and (ii) 360,000 shares in equal 1/36th installments (or 10,000 shares per installment) monthly over a three-year period, provided Mr. Daly is the COO or CFO on each vesting date. The vesting of all options set forth above shall accelerate upon a “change in control” as defined in the agreement, provided Mr. Daly is employed by the Company within 60 days prior to the date of such change in control.

Mr. Daly is entitled to receive a one-time bonus in the amount of $50,000 (the “Milestone Bonus”) upon the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (the “FDA”) approval of the Company’s Biologics License Application filing, provided that Mr. Daly is the CFO or COO at the time of said event.

If Mr. Daly’s employment is terminated at the Company’s election at any time, for reasons other than death, disability, cause (as defined in the agreement) or a voluntary resignation, or by Mr. Daly for good reason (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Daly shall be entitled to receive severance payments equal to twelve months of Mr. Daly’s base salary and of the premiums associated with continuation of Mr. Daly’s benefits pursuant to COBRA to the extent that he is eligible for them following the termination of his employment; provided that if anytime within eighteen months after a change in control either (i) Mr. Daly is terminated, at the Company’s election at any time, for reasons other than death, disability, cause or voluntary resignation, or (ii) Mr. Daly terminates the agreement for good reason, Mr. Daly shall be entitled to receive severance payments equal to: (1) two years of Mr. Daly’s base salary, (2) Mr. Daly’s most recent annual bonus payment, and (3) the premiums associated with continuation of Mr. Daly’s benefits pursuant to COBRA to the extent that he is eligible for them following the termination of his employment for a period of one year after termination. All severance payments shall be made in a lump sum within ten business days of Mr. Daly’s execution and delivery of a general release of the Company, its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns in a form acceptable to the Company. If severance payments are being made, Mr. Daly has agreed not to compete with the Company until twelve months after the termination of his employment.
