The Board of Directors of Cryoport, Inc. (the “Company”) has established September 14, 2016 as the date of the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2016 Annual Meeting”). Because the date of the 2016 Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the one-year anniversary of the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2015 Annual Meeting”), the Company has set a new deadline for submission of stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), intended to be included in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2016 Annual Meeting. Stockholders who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2016 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 must ensure that such proposal is received by the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s corporate headquarters at: Cryoport, Inc., ATTN: Secretary, 17305 Daimler Street, Irvine, CA 92614, on or before the close of business on August 15, 2016. Any such proposal must also comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under Rule 14a-8 in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2016 Annual Meeting.

In addition, in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, the deadline for stockholders who wish to bring business before the 2016 Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act was not changed because the 2016 Annual Meeting is being convened less than 60 days prior to the date of the one-year anniversary of the 2015 Annual Meeting.
