ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

On June 24, 2014, Taxus Cardium Pharmaceuticals Group Inc., reported on interim data, including positive safety and statistically significant efficacy data from a randomized, multi-center, controlled study’s primary registration endpoint of improvement in cardiac perfusion (blood flow) with Generx compared to the control group. Eight weeks following administration, the group of patients who received Generx were found to have significant improvements in myocardial blood flow under stress, as compared to the control group – and the degree of improvement in Generx patients was of a magnitude that is similar to that observed following coronary interventions such as bypass surgery or angioplasty and stenting. A copy of the press releases is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
