Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 29, 2014, Cryoport, Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into definitive agreements for a private placement of its securities to certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Investors”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $115,600 (approximately $38,275 after estimated cash offering expenses) pursuant to certain Subscription Agreements and Elections to Convert between the Registrant and the Investors (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”). The Registrant intends to use the net proceeds for working capital purposes.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Registrant issued shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase common stock of the Registrant (“Common Stock”). The shares and warrants were issued as a unit (a “Unit”) consisting of (i) one share of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Registrant (“Preferred Stock”) and (ii) one warrant to purchase eight (8) shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, which shall be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time on or before March 31, 2019. A total of 9,633 Units were issued in exchange for gross proceeds of $115,600, or $12.00 per Unit.

Pursuant to the terms of the promissory notes issued by the Registrant between December 6, 2013 and March 13, 2014 with a total original principal amount of $1,793,000 (the “5% Bridge Notes”), the issuance of the Units to Investors at $12.00 per Unit entitled the holders of the 5% Bridge Notes to convert up to the entire principal amount and accrued interest under the 5% Bridge Notes into Units at a rate of $10.80 per Unit. Through May 29, 2014, 5% Bridge Note holders of $1,743,000 in original principal sum elected to convert their 5% Bridge Notes for Units.

Emergent Financial Group, Inc. served as the Registrant’s placement agent in this transaction and received, with respect to the gross proceeds received from Investors who converted their 5% Bridge Notes into Units, a commission of 3% and a non-accountable finance fee of 1% of such proceeds, and with respect to gross proceeds received from all other Investors, a commission of 10% and a non-accountable finance fee of 3% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from such Investors, plus reimbursement of legal expenses of up to $40,000. Emergent Financial Group, Inc. will also be issued a warrant to purchase three shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for each Unit issued in this transaction. The Registrant and Emergent Financial Group, Inc. have agreed that the offering of Units to new Investors will conclude on June 16, 2014.

The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreements 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 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.

Item 3.02 Recent Sale of Unregistered Securities.

The sale and issuance of the Units was completed in accordance with the exemption provided by 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.
