Enclosed for your consideration are materials relating to the offer by Cryoport, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), to holders of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.57 per share (the “Original Warrants”) in connection with the Company’s offer (the “Offer”) to such holders to exchange Original Warrants for (1) an equal number of warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “New Warrants”), conditioned upon the immediate exercise of such New Warrants, and (2) one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share for every four New Warrants exercised (the “Supplemental Warrants”). The Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer letter/prospectus, dated August 11, 2016 (as it may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer Letter/Prospectus”), a copy of which accompanies this letter. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer Letter/Prospectus.

 

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THE ENTIRE OFFER LETTER/PROSPECTUS, TOGETHER WITH ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS THE COMPANY PROVIDES TO YOU, BEFORE MAKING A DECISION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OFFER.

 

The Offer will be open through 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on September 16, 2016, as may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Expiration Date”).

 

Pursuant to the Offer, the New Warrants will have the following terms:

 

· Exercise Price: The exercise price will be $1.50 per share.

 

· Term: The New Warrants will expire concurrently with the Expiration Date.

 

· No Cashless Exercise: The New Warrants must be exercised for cash, and any cashless exercise provisions in the Original Warrants will be inapplicable to the New Warrants.

 

· Lock-Up Period: The New Warrants will contain a lock-up provision that provides that the holder will not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants (the “New Warrant Shares”) without the prior written consent of the Company for a period of sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date (the “Lock-Up Period”). In addition, the Company may impose stop-transfer restrictions to enforce these restrictions.

 

· Market Restrictions: A holder by electing to participate in the Offer is agreeing to not, either alone or with others, effect any purchases or sales of any securities of the Company in any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any type of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) or similar arrangements, or sales or other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers through the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

 

     

 

 

· Other Terms: Other than as described above, the terms of the New Warrants are substantially identical to the terms of the Original Warrants.

 

In addition, the Supplemental Warrants will have the following terms:

 

· Exercise Price: The exercise price will be $3.00 per share.

 

· Term: The Supplemental Warrants are exercisable upon issuance and expire on the earlier of (i) three years after the date of issuance and (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $4.50 for ten consecutive trading days.

 

· Cashless Exercise: The Supplemental Warrants will have a cashless exercise right in the event that the Supplemental Warrant Shares are not covered by an effective registration statement at the time of such exercise.

 

· Adjustments: The Supplemental Warrants provide that the warrant exercise price is subject to adjustment from time to time if the Company (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of our common stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of common stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of common stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the common stock any shares of our capital stock.

 

· Other Terms: The Supplemental Warrants will not be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other securities exchange.

 

The above descriptions are a summary of certain materials terms of the New Warrants and the Supplemental Warrants and are not complete. This summary is subject to, and is qualified by reference to, the form of warrant certificate evidencing the New Warrants and the form of warrant certificate evidencing the Supplemental Warrants attached as Annex A and Annex B, respectively, to the Offer Letter/Prospectus.

 

Participation in the Offer requires both the tender of your Original Warrants as set forth in the Offer Letter/Prospectus and your exercise of the New Warrants, which will happen simultaneously effective as of the Expiration Date if your Original Warrants are properly tendered in the Offer. You may elect to participate in the Offer with respect to some or all of your Original Warrants that you hold. Any Original Warrants that are not tendered in the Offer will remain in full force and effect with no change in the terms of the Original Warrants.

 

The Offer is conditioned upon the existence of an effective Registration Statement on Form S-4 relating to the registration of the New Warrants, the Supplemental Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the New Warrants and the Supplemental Warrants. In addition, the Company is seeking stockholder approval of the Offer in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). See “The Exchange Offer—Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) and Maximum Number of Shares Which may be Issued” for additional information. If stockholder approval of the Offer is not obtained, the Company will be limited in the amount of New Warrant Shares that it could potentially issue in connection with the Offer to 19.999% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at the time of issuance (or an estimated 3,023,944 shares based on 15,120,479 shares of common stock outstanding as of August 9, 2016, which is referred to as the “Nasdaq Limit”). If the aggregate number of New Warrant Shares to be issued for all holders participating in the Offer is greater than the Nasdaq Limit, then each of the participating holder’s number of Original Warrants tendered will be reduced on as close to a pro rata basis as is possible.

 

Subject to the potential reduction in the acceptance by the Company of your tender of Original Warrants as described in the preceding paragraph, in the event that you properly tender Original Warrants in the Offer, the Company will issue you an equal number of New Warrants, which will be immediately exercised, and you will be issued an equal number of New Warrant Shares, along with one Supplemental Warrant for every four New Warrants exercised.
