EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
The purpose of this amendment is to correct and update the information provided in the beneficial ownership table in Item 12, Part III of Form 10-K filed by Genesis Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2011.  On or about November 5, 2010, Hamilton Atlantic, listed in the Form 10-K as one of the Company’s major stockholders, distributed all its shares in the Company to its stockholders and, therefore, should not have been included in the Form 10-K.  The distribution of the Company’s shares by Hamilton Atlantic was reported in the Schedule 13D/A that it filed on November 5, 2010.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this amendment, no portion of the Form 10-K is being amended or updated by this amendment.
 
 
 

 
 
Part III
 
Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 20, 2011 (a) by each person known by us to own beneficially 5% or more of any class of our common stock, (b) by Robert Brooke, our sole “Named Executive Officer” for fiscal 2010, (c) by each of our current directors and (d) by all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.  As of April 20, 2011 there were 74,183,349 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.  Shares of common stock subject to stock options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 20, 2011 are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.  Unless indicated below, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.  Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each stockholder is c/o Genesis Biopharma, Inc. at 11500 Olympic Boulevard, Suite 400, Los Angeles, California 90064.

(1)
Applicable percentage ownership is based on 74,183,349 shares (post-split) of common stock outstanding at April 20, 2011.

(2)
Anshuman Dube exercises dispositive and voting control with respect to the shares held by Theorem Group, LLC.
 
 
 

 
 
(3)
Does not include 150,001 shares subject to warrants.  The warrants contain a provision prohibiting any exercise of the warrants that would result in the holder owning beneficially more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as determined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.    Bristol Capital Advisors, LLC ("BCA") is the investment advisor to Bristol Investment Fund, Ltd.

(4)

(5)
Mr. Brooke resigned as the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors on February 7, 2011.  Pursuant to an advisory agreement, Mr. Brooke agreed to submit for cancellation 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that he owned.
   
(6)
Marten Mark has the power to vote, or to direct the vote, and to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, the securities held by Cadogan Capital (Nevis), in his capacity as director, and disclaims beneficial ownership.
   
(7)
Dr. Andrews was granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our Common Stock on March 16, 2011, which vest and become exercisable on the anniversary of the date of his appointment, provided that Dr. Andrews is still a member of the Board of Directors of the Company on that date.  The options are exercisable at an exercise price equal to $1.25, and have a term of 10 years from the date of grant. Since none of the options are exercisable within 60 days of the date of this filing, none of them have been included here.
