GERON INVESTIGATION INITIATED BY FORMER LOUISIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates Geron Corporation Following FDA Clinical Hold of Blood Medicine and Analyst Downgrade

Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Geron Corporation (Nasdaq: GERN).

On March 12, 2014, Geron announced that the Company has received verbal notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") that its investigational new drug application for its only experimental drug, imetelstat for blood disorders, has been placed on full clinical hold, affecting its mid-stage trials of imetelstat because of low-grade liver function test abnormalities. The FDA expressed concern about whether these LFT abnormalities are reversible.

On this news, Geron was downgraded by MLV & Co, and the price o its shares plummeted by over 61%.

KSF's investigation is focusing on whether Geron and/or its officers and directors violated state or federal securities laws.
