Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 4, 2011, CryoPort, Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into definitive agreements for, and conducted the first close of, a private placement of its securities to certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Investors”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,434,722 (approximately $3,852,000 after estimated cash offering expenses) pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Registrant and the Investors (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the Registration Rights Agreement among the Registrant, Emergent Financial Group, Inc., and the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Registrant anticipates that there may be a second close with respect to the private placement within the next several weeks. The Registrant intends to use the net proceeds for working capital purposes.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Investors purchased an aggregate of 6,335,318 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.70 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock of the Registrant (“Common Stock”) and (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.77 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable and have a term of five years.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registrant is obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued to the Investors and the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants issued to the Investors within ninety (90) days following the close of the transaction. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for (i) certain payments by the Registrant to the Investors if such registration statement is not filed within such period and (ii) indemnification by each of the Registrant and the Investors to the other party and certain affiliates of such party against certain liability related to such registration statement.

Emergent Financial Group, Inc. served as the Registrant’s placement agent in this transaction and received a commission of 10% and a non-accountable finance fee of 3% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the Investors, plus reimbursement of accountable out-of-pocket expenses, and was issued a warrant to purchase 1,267,064 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.77 per share.

The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of the aforementioned documents which will be filed as exhibits with the Registrant’s Form 10K filing for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The Registrant issued a press release on February 7, 2011 announcing the first close of the private placement.

Item 3.02 Recent Sale of Unregistered Securities.

The sale and issuance of the Units, the Common Stock, and the warrants was completed in accordance with the exemption provided by Rule 505 and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
