Item 1(a).   Name of Issuer:  
    AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Issuer”)  
       
Item 1(b).   Address of Issuer’s Principal Executive Offices:  
    1010 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 102, Alameda, California 94501  
       
Item 2(a).   Name of Person Filing:  
   

This Schedule 13G/A is being jointly filed by the following:

IBS Capital LLC (the “Manager”)

The IBS Turnaround Fund, L.P. (the “LP Fund”)

The IBS Turnaround Fund (QP) (A Limited Partnership) (the “QP Fund”)

The IBS Opportunity Fund, Ltd. (the “Opportunity Fund”)

David A. Taft (“Mr. Taft”)

 

 
   

The LP Fund, the QP Fund and the Opportunity Fund (together, the "Funds") previously reported shareholdings of the Issuer's common stock (the "Shares") on the Schedule 13G/A filed by them on March 26, 2019 in the following amounts: the LP Fund was the direct holder of 830,850 Shares; the QP Fund was the direct holder of 1,701,106 Shares; and the Opportunity Fund was the direct holder of 179,790 Shares.Over the course of several sales and as of October 8, 2020, the LP Fund sold 213,402 Shares; the QP Fund sold 500,048 Shares; and the Opportunity Fund sold 114,550 Shares. Following the sales: the LP Fund is the direct holder of 617,448 Shares; the QP Fund is the direct holder of 1,201,058 Shares; and the Opportunity Fund is the direct holder of 65,240 Shares.

 

The Funds may each be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the Shares they hold directly, although each Fund has delegated all investment power and voting power with respect to the Shares to the Manager. The Manager may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the Shares held by the Funds because it is the investment manager of the Opportunity Fund and is the General Partner of the QP Fund and the LP Fund. Mr. Taft may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of these Shares because he controls the Manager in his position as the President and majority owner of the Manager. This Schedule 13G/A is filed by the Manager, the Funds and Mr. Taft pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c) under the Act, and is being filed to report the decrease in beneficial ownership of the Shares by the Funds, the Manager and Mr. Taft. This Schedule 13G/A amends the Schedule 13G/A previously filed by them on March 26, 2019, and constitutes an exit filing for the Funds, the Manager and Mr. Taft because they ceased to hold 5% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares as of October 8, 2020. Each of the Manager, the Funds and Mr. Taft may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the total amount of Shares set forth across from its or his respective name in Item 4 below.

 
       
Item 2(b).   Address of Principal Business Office or, if None, Residence:
