Cryoport Reminds Record Date Rights Holders for the Rights Offering to Submit all Subscriptions to Their Broker or Subscription Agent

Various broker dealers have a different cut off time so investors are asked to speak with their broker ahead of time

IRVINE, Calif., June 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX, CYRXW) (the "Company"), the world's leading cryogenic logistics company, would like to remind its rights offering shareholders and warrant holders of record that they have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise their non-transferable basic subscription rights for $1.55 per common share, which allows its shareholders and warrant holders of record to acquire additional shares of common stock (the "rights offering").

The rights offering also includes an over-subscription privilege, which will entitle each rights holder that exercises its basic subscription privilege in full the right to purchase additional shares of common stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the rights offering. Both the basic and over subscription privileges are subject to the availability and pro rata allocation of shares among participants.

The subscription period ends at 5:00 pm ET on Monday, June 20, 2016.  It is important to note that many broker dealers may have different cut off times prior to the official subscription period deadline. As such, Cryoport recommends that all record date rights holders contact their broker or financial advisor about the rights offering to ensure that they can participate by the broker dealer's cut off time for subscriptions.  The Company may extend the offering up to an additional 30 days, at its sole discretion.

The exercise price is $1.55. The rights may only be exercised for a maximum of $10,000,000 of subscription proceeds in the aggregate.  

The Company has entered into a dealer manager agreement with Source Capital Group, Inc. to act as dealer manager for the rights offering.
