Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On January 2, 2018, Cryoport, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) commenced an exchange offer with respect to the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.57 per share (the “Original Warrants”). For a limited period of time, the Company is offering (the “Offer”) to holders of the Original Warrants the opportunity to exchange such Original Warrants for an equal number of warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (the “New Warrants”), conditioned upon the immediate exercise of such New Warrants. The Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer letter/prospectus, dated January 2, 2018 (as it may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer Letter/Prospectus”), which forms part of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 2, 2018 (as it may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”), and the related letter of transmittal.

 

The Original Warrants were issued (i) in July 2015 in connection with the Company’s registered public offering of 2,090,750 units (each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one Original Warrant), and (ii) in January 2016 in connection with the mandatory exchange of all of the Company’s outstanding Class A Convertible Preferred Stock and Class B Convertible Preferred Stock into 4,977,038 units (each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one Original Warrant). As of January 2, 2018, 3,836,793 Original Warrants are outstanding.

 

The terms of the New Warrants include (i) an exercise price of $3.00 per share and (ii) an exercise period that will expire concurrently with the expiration of the Offer at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on February 2, 2018, as may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Expiration Date”). In addition, the shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants (the “New Warrant Shares”) will be subject to a 60-day lock-up period.

 

The purpose of the Offer is to raise funds to support the Company’s growth plans by providing the holders of the Original Warrants an incentive to exchange their Original Warrants for New Warrants and exercise the New Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a reduced exercise price as compared to the Original Warrants. The Company will receive all of the proceeds from the immediate exercise of the New Warrants, which will be used by the Company for business growth, including as working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

 

Participation in the Offer requires both the tender of Original Warrants and the exercise of the New Warrants, which will happen simultaneously effective as of the expiration date of the Offer if the Original Warrants are properly tendered in the Offer.
