OFFER LETTER/PROSPECTUS

CRYOPORT, INC.

OFFER TO HOLDERS OF OUTSTANDING $3.57 ORIGINAL WARRANTS
TO EXCHANGE UP TO 2,000,000 OF SUCH ORIGINAL WARRANTS FOR
AN EQUAL NUMBER OF $3.00 NEW WARRANTS,
CONDITIONED UPON THE IMMEDIATE EXERCISE OF SUCH NEW WARRANTS

AND

PROSPECTUS FOR (i) 2,000,000 NEW WARRANTS; AND
(ii) 2,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THE NEW WARRANTS

THE EXCHANGE OFFER EXPIRES AT 5:00 P.M.,
EASTERN TIME, FEBRUARY 2, 2018, UNLESS EXTENDED

For a limited period of time, Cryoport, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“we,” “us,” “Cryoport” or the “Company”), is offering (the “Offer”) to holders of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of  $3.57 per share (the “Original Warrants”) the opportunity to exchange up to 2,000,000 of such Original Warrants for an equal number of warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of  $3.00 per share (the “New Warrants”), conditioned upon the immediate exercise of such New Warrants. The Original Warrants were issued (i) in July 2015 in connection with the Company’s registered public offering of 2,090,750 units (each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one Original Warrant) (the “Public Original Warrants”), and (ii) in January 2016 in connection with the mandatory exchange of all of the Company’s outstanding Class A Convertible Preferred Stock and Class B Convertible Preferred Stock into 4,977,038 units (each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one Original Warrant) (the “Private Original Warrants”). We refer to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants as the “New Warrant Shares.”

The Offer will be open through 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on February 2, 2018, as may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Expiration Date”).

We are offering pursuant to this Offer Letter/Prospectus 2,000,000 New Warrants and 2,000,000 New Warrant Shares for issuance upon the immediate exercise of the New Warrants. Pursuant to the Offer, the New Warrants will have (i) an exercise price of $3.00 per share and (ii) an exercise period that will expire concurrently with the Expiration Date. By tendering your Original Warrants, you will also be agreeing to: (A) restrict your ability as the holder of New Warrant Shares to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any of such shares without the prior written consent of the Company for a period of sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date (the “Lock-Up Period”); and (B) acting alone or with others, not 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 than as described above, the terms of the New Warrants are substantially identical to the terms of the Original Warrants.

Participation in the Offer requires both the tender of your Original Warrants as set forth in this 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 purpose of the Offer is to raise funds to support the Company’s growth plans by providing the holders of the Original Warrants an incentive to exchange their Original Warrants for New Warrants, and exercise the New Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a reduced exercise price as compared to the Original Warrants. The Company will receive all of the proceeds from the immediate exercise of the New Warrants, which will be used by the Company for business growth, including as working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

The Offer is conditioned upon (i) the existence of an effective Registration Statement on Form S-4 relating to the registration of the New Warrants and the New Warrant Shares, and (ii) the Company shall have concluded that consummation of the Offer will not constitute a “Rule 13e-3 transaction”, as such term is defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act. If the aggregate number of Original Warrants properly tendered in the Offer by all holders participating in the Offer is greater than 2,000,000 (the “Offer 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. In such instance, the Company will return to participating holders such number of Original Warrants that were not accepted as a result of the pro rata reduction. Tendered payment for the New Warrant Shares relating to such Original Warrants that were not accepted will be returned to the holder, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom. See “The Exchange Offer — Offer Limit” for additional information.

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.

If you elect to tender Original Warrants in response to the Offer, please follow the instructions in this Offer Letter/Prospectus and the related documents (together, the “Offering Materials”), including the letter of transmittal. If you tender Original Warrants, you may withdraw your tendered Original Warrants before the Expiration Date and retain them on their original terms by following the instructions herein. If the Expiration Date is extended, you may withdraw your tendered Original Warrants at any time until such extended Expiration Date.

Our common stock and the Original Warrants are currently traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols “CYRX” and “CYRXW”, respectively. As of January 19, 2018, the closing sale price of our common stock was $8.36 per share and the closing price of the Original Warrants was $5.17 per warrant. The New Warrants will not be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other securities exchange.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the New Warrants and the New Warrant Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the risk factors incorporated by reference herein, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Offer Letter/Prospectus, including the financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference into this Offer Letter/Prospectus, before deciding to participate in the Offer. Certain risks related to us and our business are included in Item 1A of our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 (the “Form 10-K”) and in our subsequent filings with the SEC. See the section titled “Available Information” for information about how to obtain a copy of these documents. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to the Offer

The market price of our common stock is volatile and may decline before or after the Expiration Date.

The market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include, among other things, actual or anticipated variations in our costs of doing business, operating results and cash flow, the nature and content of our earnings releases and our competitors’ earnings releases, customers, competitors or markets, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, business conditions in our markets and the general state of the securities markets and the market for similar stocks, changes in capital markets that affect the perceived availability of capital to companies in our industries, governmental legislation or regulation, as well as general economic and market conditions, such as continued downturns in our economy and recessions.

We cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock will not decline after you exercise the New Warrants. If that occurs, you may have committed to buy shares of our common stock in the rights offering at a price greater than the prevailing market price, and you could have an immediate unrealized loss. Moreover, we cannot assure you that following the exercise of the New Warrants that you will be able to sell your common stock at a price equal to or greater than the exercise price of the New Warrants. Until the New Warrant Shares are delivered following the Expiration Date and the expiration of Lock-Up Period sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date, you will not be able to sell such Shares. Certificates (physical, electronic or book-entry form) representing the New Warrant Shares will be delivered as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date. We will not pay you interest on funds delivered to the Depositary pursuant to the exercise of New Warrants.

The Offer may cause the price of our common stock to decrease.

Depending upon the trading price of our common stock at the time of our announcement of the Offer and its terms, including the exercise price of the New Warrants, together with the number of shares of common stock we propose to issue and ultimately will issue if the Offer is completed, may result in an immediate decrease in the market value of our common stock. This decrease may continue after the completion of the Offer. If that occurs, you may have committed to buy shares of common stock in the Offer at a price greater than the prevailing market price. Further, if a substantial number of New Warrants are exercised in connection with the Offer and the holders of the New Warrant Shares choose to sell some or all of those shares after the Lock-Up Period, then the resulting sales could depress the market price of our common stock. There is no assurance that following the exercise of the New Warrants, holders will be able to sell the underlying shares at a price equal to or greater than the respective exercise prices of the New Warrants.

Our Board of Directors makes no recommendation with regard to whether you should accept the Offer to Amend and Exercise.

Although our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved the Offer, it makes no recommendation as to whether holders of Original Warrants should accept the Offer. We have not retained and do not intend to retain any unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the holders of Original Warrants for

11

purposes of negotiating the terms of the Offer. We cannot assure you that the value of the New Warrant Shares will in the future equal or exceed the respective exercise prices of the New Warrants. We do not take a position as to whether you ought to participate in the Offer.

If you choose to participate in the Offer, you will be required to exercise your New Warrants for common stock, and will be subject to all the risks associated with being a stockholder of the Company and give up the time value attributable to your Original Warrant with respect to the New Warrant Shares.

Participation in the Offer requires both the tender of your Original Warrants as set forth in this 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. As a result, you will be subject to all the risks and uncertainties set forth in these risk factors as a holder of the Company’s common stock. In addition, you will be giving up the time value attributable to your Original Warrants by exercising the New Warrants prior to the original expiration date of your Original Warrant.

The exercise price of the New Warrants has been arbitrarily determined.

The exercise price of the New Warrants has been arbitrarily determined. Our Board established the exercise price for the New Warrants based on its estimation of those terms that would encourage holders of Original Warrants to participate in the Offer. The exercise price of the New Warrants is not necessarily related to our book value, net worth or any other established criteria of value and may or may not be considered the fair value of our common stock. We cannot give any assurance that our common stock will trade at or above the exercise prices in any given time period.

The New Warrant Shares are subject to resale and market restrictions during the Lock-Up Period.

The New Warrant Shares are subject to lock up provisions that provide 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 New Warrant Shares without the prior written consent of the Company for a period for sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date. The Company may impose stop-transfer restrictions to enforce these restrictions. In addition, a holder, acting alone or with others, participating in the Offer has agreed not to 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 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. As a result, the holder will be subject to market and the other risks discussed herein during the period of these resale and market restrictions.

Participation in the Offer could result in tax consequences.

We have not obtained, and do not intend to obtain, either a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or an opinion of legal counsel regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exchange of New Warrants for Original Warrants and the immediate exercising the New Warrants. You should consult with your own tax advisor with regard to the possibility of any federal, state, local or other tax consequences of the Offer. See the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of participating in the Offer.

We will have substantial discretion over the use of proceeds we receive from the exercise of New Warrants.

The Company will receive all of the proceeds from the immediate exercise of the New Warrants. Our management will retain broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the Offer. See the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” for a description of our present intentions with respect to the allocation of the proceeds resulting from exercise of the New Warrants. The amounts and timing of the expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. The occurrence of certain unforeseen events or changed business conditions, however, could result in the application of the proceeds resulting from the exercise of the New Warrants in a manner other than as described in this Offer.

12

If completed, the Offer will have an immediate dilutive effect.

If the Offer is completed, the resulting issuance of New Warrant Shares will have an immediate dilutive effect. If 2,000,000 Original Warrants are accepted pursuant to the Offer, resulting in the issuance and immediate exercise of 2,000,000 New Warrants, then such participating Original Warrant holders will receive an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, which represents approximately 7.6% of our outstanding common stock (based on 26,405,707 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 15, 2017).

The consummation of the Offer may result in a diminished public float for the Original Warrants, which could adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the Original Warrants.

The consummation of the Offer may reduce the daily trading volume of the Original Warrants and could adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the Original Warrants. The consummation of the Offer can also be expected to reduce the number of holders of Original Warrants. A lack of an active trading market may have an adverse effect on the market price or liquidity of the Original Warrants.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Offer Letter/Prospectus contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Offer Letter/Prospectus, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other similar words. These statements are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Offer Letter/Prospectus. Forward-looking statements in this Offer Letter/Prospectus include, but are not necessarily limited to, those relating to:

•

our intention to introduce new products or services;

​

•

our expectations about securing strategic relationships with global couriers or large clinical research organization;

​

•

our future capital needs;

​

•

results of our research and development efforts; and

​

•

approval of our patent applications.

​

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated as a result of the factors described in “Risk Factors” in this Offer Letter/Prospectus and detailed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, including among others:

•

the effect of regulation by United States and foreign governmental agencies;

​

•

research and development efforts, including delays in developing, or the failure to develop, our products;

​

•

the development of competing or more effective products by other parties;

​

•

uncertainty of market acceptance of our products;

​

•

errors in business planning attributable to insufficient market size or segmentation data;

​

•

problems that we may face in manufacturing, marketing and distributing our products;

​

•

problems that we may encounter in further development of Cryoport Express® Solutions, which includes the cloud-based logistics management software branded as Cryoportal™;

​

•

our inability to raise additional capital when needed;

​

•

delays in the issuance of, or the failure to obtain, patents for certain of our products and technologies;

​

•

problems with important suppliers and strategic business partners; and

​

•

difficulty or delays in establishing marketing relationships with international couriers.

​

Because of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Offer Letter/Prospectus might not transpire. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. All of the above factors are difficult to predict, contain

14

uncertainties that may materially affect our actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all of such factors or to assess the effect of each factor on our business. You are advised to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in the reports we file with the SEC.

This Offer Letter/Prospectus also contains estimates and other industry and statistical data developed by independent parties and by us relating to market size, growth, and segmentation of markets. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. While we believe the data referred to in this Offer Letter/Prospectus to be reliable, industry and statistical data is subject to variations and cannot be verified due to limits on the availability and reliability of data inputs, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey. We have not independently verified these estimates generated by independent parties and contained in this Offer Letter/Prospectus. In addition, projections, assumptions, and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Risk Factors” in this Offer Letter/Prospectus and detailed in our other SEC filings. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.

15

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will receive all of the proceeds from the immediate exercise of the New Warrants. If 2,000,000 Original Warrants are accepted pursuant to the Offer, resulting in the issuance and immediate exercise of 2,000,000 New Warrants, we estimate that the net proceeds from the Offer will be approximately $5.9 million, after deducting expenses related to the Offer payable by us estimated at approximately $120,000.

We intend to use the proceeds received from the exercise of the New Warrants for business growth, including as working capital and for other general corporate purposes. We have broad discretion in determining how the proceeds of the Offer will be used, and our discretion is not limited by the aforementioned possible uses. Our Board believes the flexibility in application of the net proceeds is prudent. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Offer — We will have substantial discretion over the use of proceeds we receive from the exercise of New Warrants.”

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Participation in the Offer involves a number of risks, including, but not limited to, the risks identified in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” Original Warrant holders should carefully consider these risks and are urged to speak with their personal financial, investment and/or tax advisor as necessary before deciding whether or not to participate in this Offer. In addition, we strongly encourage you to read this Offer Letter/Prospectus in its entirety and the publicly-filed information about the Company referenced herein, before making a decision regarding the Offer.

Overview

For a limited period of time, Cryoport, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“we,” “us,” “Cryoport” or the “Company”), is offering (the “Offer”) to holders of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of  $3.57 per share (the “Original Warrants”) the opportunity to exchange up to 2,000,000 of such Original Warrants for an equal number of warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of  $3.00 per share (the “New Warrants”), conditioned upon the immediate exercise of such New Warrants. We refer to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants as the “New Warrant Shares.”

The New Warrants will have the terms as set forth in “— Terms of the New Warrants.” Other than as described therein, the terms of the New Warrants are substantially identical to the terms of the Original Warrants.

Participation in the Offer requires both the tender of your Original Warrants as set forth in this 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 (i) the existence of an effective Registration Statement on Form S-4 relating to the registration of the New Warrants and the New Warrant Shares, and (ii) the Company shall have concluded that consummation of the Offer will not constitute a “Rule 13e-3 transaction”, as such term is defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act.

If the aggregate number of Original Warrants properly tendered in the Offer by all holders participating in the Offer is greater than 2,000,000 (the “Offer 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. In such instance, the Company will return to participating holders such number of Original Warrants that were not accepted as a result of the pro rata reduction. Tendered payment for the New Warrant Shares relating to such Original Warrants that were not accepted will be returned to the holder, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom. See “— Offer Limit” for additional information.

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.

If you elect to tender Original Warrants in response to the Offer, please follow the instructions in this Offer Letter/Prospectus and the related documents (together, the “Offering Materials”), including the letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”). If you tender Original Warrants, you may withdraw your tendered Original Warrants before the Expiration Date and retain them on their original terms by following the instructions herein. If the Expiration Date is extended, you may withdraw your tendered Original Warrants at any time until such extended Expiration Date.

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

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

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 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.

Expiration of the Exchange Offer

The Offer will be open through 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on February 2, 2018, as may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion.

Partial Participation Permitted

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. In addition, if you elect to participate with only some of your Original Warrants that you hold, then the Company will return to you such number of Original Warrants that were not tendered.

For example, a holder owns 500,000 Original Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of  $3.57. The holder properly tenders the Original Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer with respect to only 300,001 Original

19

Warrants, while retaining 199,999 Original Warrants. Assuming the aggregate number of Original Warrants tendered in the Offer is 1,000,000 (thereby, eliminating the need for a pro rata reduction), if the Company accepts the holder’s tender of 300,001 Original Warrants, the Company will issue the holder 300,001 New Warrants, which will be immediately exercised for 300,001 New Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

Offer Limit

If the aggregate number of Original Warrants properly tendered in the Offer by all holders participating in the Offer is greater than the Offer 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. In such instance, the Company will return to participating holders such number of Original Warrants that were not accepted as a result of the pro rata reduction. Tendered payment for the New Warrant Shares relating to such Original Warrants that were not accepted will be returned to the holder, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.

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.

Under the same facts as the previous example above, but assuming that the aggregate number of Original Warrants properly tendered in the Offer by all holders participating in the Offer is 2,500,000, then the holder’s tender of 300,001 Original Warrants would be reduced to 80% (the Offer Limit divided by 2,500,000) of such number, or 240,001 Original Warrants. The Company will issue the holder (i) 240,001 New Warrants, which will be immediately exercised for 240,001 New Warrant Shares to be issued to the holder. In addition, the Company will return to the holder 60,000 Original Warrants that were not accepted as a result of the pro rata reduction. As the aggregate exercise price due from the holder after the pro rata reduction is $720,003 (240,001 x $3.00 exercise price of the New Warrants), promptly following the Expiration Date, the Company would cause to be delivered to such holder a check for an amount equal to $180,000 (the $900,003 amount paid by the holder for the exercise price of 300,001 New Warrants less the $720,003 amount representing the aggregate exercise price of the New Warrants after the pro rata reduction).

Purposes of the Offer and Use of Proceeds; Plans or Proposals

The purpose of the Offer is to raise funds to support the Company’s growth plans by providing the holders of the Original Warrants an incentive to exchange their Original Warrants for New Warrants, and exercise the New Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a reduced exercise price as compared to the Original Warrants. The Company will receive all of the proceeds from the immediate exercise of the New Warrants, which will be used by the Company for business growth, including as working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

Any Original Warrants properly tendered and accepted by the Company pursuant to the Offer will be cancelled.

No plans or proposals described in this Offer Letter/Prospectus or in any materials sent to the holders of the Original Warrants in connection with the Offer relate to or would result in the conditions or transactions described in Regulation M-A, Item 1006(c)(1) through (10), except as follows:

Any holder who elects to participate in the Offer will be required to tender payment for the applicable New Warrant Shares and, subject to our acceptance of the tender, will acquire such additional shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 15, 2017, the Company had 26,405,707 shares of common stock outstanding. If 2,000,000 Original Warrants are accepted pursuant to the Offer, resulting in the issuance and immediate exercise of 2,000,000 New Warrants, then such participating Original Warrant holders will receive an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. As a result, the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock would increase to 28,405,707 shares, with the 2,000,000 New Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the New Warrants representing 7.0% of the then outstanding shares of common stock.

20

Conditions to the Offer

The Offer is subject to certain conditions as described herein (which we may not waive):

(i)

the existence of an effective Registration Statement on Form S-4 relating to the registration of the New Warrants and the New Warrant Shares; and

​

(ii)

the Company shall have concluded that consummation of the Offer will not constitute a “Rule 13e-3 transaction”, as such term is defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act.

​

In addition, participation in the Offer requires both the tender of your Original Warrants as set forth in this 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.

If there is a delay in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 from being declared effective or if the Company concludes that consummation of the Offer will constitute a “Rule 13e-3 transaction”, as such term is defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, we may, in our discretion, extend, suspend or cancel the Offer, and will inform holders of Original Warrants of such event. If we extend the Expiration Date, we will issue a notice of such extension by press release or other public announcement. See “— Extension of the Offer and Exercise Period; Amendments; Termination.”

We are not making this Offer to, nor will we accept any tenders from or on behalf of, Original Warrant holders in any state where the Company is prohibited from making the Offer by administrative or judicial action pursuant to a state statute after a good faith effort by the Company to comply with such statute.

The Offer is not conditioned upon obtaining financing or any minimum number of Original Warrants being tendered.

Extension of the Offer and Exercise Period; Amendments; Termination

The Company expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at any time or from time to time, to extend the Expiration Date. In the event that the Company elects to extend the Expiration Date, it will issue a notice of such extension by press release or other public announcement, which notice will include the approximate number of Original Warrants tendered pursuant to the Offer based upon the Offering Materials received by the Company as of such date, and will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next business day after the scheduled Expiration Date.

There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will exercise its right to extend the Offer. Amendments to the Offer will be made by written notice thereof to the holders of the Original Warrants. Material changes to information previously provided to holders of the Original Warrants in this Offer Letter/Prospectus or in documents furnished subsequent thereto will be disseminated to holders of Original Warrants. Also, should the Company, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Offer Letter/Prospectus, materially amend the Offer, the Company will ensure that the Offer remains open long enough to comply with U.S. federal securities laws.

If the Company materially changes the terms of the Offer or the information concerning the Offer, the Company will extend the Offer to the extent required under applicable law and disseminate promptly disclosure of the change in a manner reasonably calculated to inform holders of the Original Warrants of the change. The minimum period during which an offer must remain open following any material change in the terms of the Offer or information concerning the Offer (other than a change in price, engagement of an underwriter or solicitation agent or change in percentage of securities sought, all of which require up to ten (10) additional business days) will depend on the facts and circumstances, including the relative materiality of such terms or information.

The Company also expressly reserves the right to terminate the Offer by making a public announcement of such termination if the conditions to the Offer (see “The Exchange Offer — Conditions to the Offer”) are not satisfied. Our reservation of this right is limited by Rule 13e-4(f)(5) under the Exchange Act, which requires that the Company must return the Original Warrants tendered promptly after termination of the Offer and the amount of cash paid by a holder to exercise the New Warrant, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.

21

Procedure for Participating in the Offer and Exercising New Warrants

Proper Participation in the Exchange

Determination of Validity of Tender of Original Warrants

All questions as to the number of Original Warrants to be accepted, the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for tender of any Original Warrants will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which determinations shall be final and binding on all parties, subject to the judgments of any courts. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of Original Warrants it determines not to be in proper form or to reject those Original Warrants, the acceptance of which may, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any particular Original Warrants, and the Company’s interpretation of the terms of the Offer (including the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties, subject to the judgments of any court with jurisdiction over the Company.

No tender of Original Warrants will be deemed to be properly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders must be cured within such time as the Company shall determine. Neither the Company nor any other person is or will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders and none of them will incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

Please do not send letters of transmittal to us. You should send letters of transmittal only to the Depositary, at its office as indicated in the Letter of Transmittal. The Depositary or the Company can answer your questions regarding how to tender your Original Warrants.

Manner of Acceptance of Payment and Issuance of Shares

If you properly tender (and do not validly withdraw) your Original Warrants in accordance with “— Procedure for Participating in the Offer and Exercising New Warrants” on or prior to the Expiration Date, promptly following the Expiration Date, the Company will issue and deliver to you the number of New Warrants Shares issuable under your New Warrants, subject to any pro rata reduction described in “— Offer Limit.”

Withdrawal Rights

Tenders of Original Warrants made pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date. If the Expiration Date is extended, you may withdraw your tendered Original Warrants at any time until such extended Expiration Date. In addition, after March 1, 2018 (which is the fortieth business day from the commencement of the Offer), any Original Warrants that you have tendered that have not been accepted by the Company may be withdrawn. We will pay no interest on the exercise price of the Original Warrants regardless of any withdrawal of tendered warrants during the Offer period, or any extension of, or amendment to, the Offer.

To be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary at its address identified in this Offer Letter/Prospectus. If the Original Warrants to be withdrawn have been delivered to the Depositary, a signed notice of withdrawal must be submitted prior to release of such Original Warrants. In addition, such notice must specify (i) the name of the registered owner (if different from that of the tendering Original Warrant holder), (ii) the serial number shown on the particular certificate evidencing the Original Warrants to be withdrawn (if applicable) and (iii) the number of Original Warrants to be withdrawn. Withdrawal may not be cancelled, and Original Warrants for which tenders are withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of the Offer. However, Original Warrants for which tenders are withdrawn may be tendered again by following one of the procedures described above in the section entitled “Procedure for Participating in the Offer and Exercising New Warrants” at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of any notice of withdrawal will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding, subject to the judgments of any courts with jurisdiction over us that might provide otherwise. Neither we nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification, subject to the judgment of any court with jurisdiction over us.

24

If you properly withdraw, we will promptly: (i) return to you the certificate evidencing the Original Warrants (or issue you a new warrant certificate with the same terms as the Original Warrant if you submitted an Affidavit of Loss and Indemnification Agreement (see instructions to the letter of transmittal related to the Offer for additional information) or if you have withdrawn less than the total warrants represented by the original certificate); and (ii) provide you with a check equal to the amount of cash you paid to exercise the number of Original Warrants being withdrawn, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.

In preparing the attached unaudited pro forma condensed financial information, the Company assumed that 2,000,000 Original Warrants are accepted pursuant to the Offer, resulting in the issuance and immediate exercise of 2,000,000 New Warrants, and that the Offer was completed as of the end of the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is presented for informational and illustrative purposes only and does not purport to project our future consolidated statement of operations or financial position.

Interests of Directors and Executive Directors in the Offer

The current officers and directors of the Company are:

As of the date of this Offer Letter/Prospectus, 3,836,793 Original Warrants are outstanding. Jerrell W. Shelton, Chairman, President and Chief Executive of the Company, holds 80,558 Original Warrants (representing approximately 2.1% of the outstanding Original Warrants) and Dr. Robert Hariri, a director of the Company, holds 15,300 Original Warrants (representing less than 1% of the outstanding Original Warrants).

Legal Matters and Regulatory Approvals

We are not aware of any license or regulatory permit material to our business that might be adversely affected by the Offer and the issuance of the New Warrant Shares. Our obligations under the Offer are subject to the conditions described in “— Conditions to the Offer” above.

Absence of Dissenters’ Rights

Holders of the Original Warrants do not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights under applicable law in connection with the Offer.

Accounting Treatment

If 2,000,000 Original Warrants are accepted pursuant to the Offer, resulting in the issuance and immediate exercise of 2,000,000 New Warrants, then such participating Original Warrant holders will receive an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. As a result, the Company’s cash will

26

increase by the net aggregate proceeds from exercise of approximately $5.9 million and there will be a corresponding increase to shareholders’ equity for the same amount.

The New Warrants, which have a lower exercise price than the Original Warrants, are treated as an inducement to enter into the Offer. As such, the difference between the actual fair value of the Original Warrants as of the date of their exchange and the actual fair value of the New Warrants will be recorded as warrant inducement expense, with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in-capital. The fair value of the Original Warrants exchanged and the New Warrants will be determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model as of the Expiration Date. The Offer does not modify the current accounting treatment for the Original Warrants that are not tendered in the Offer.

Fees and Expenses

We have not engaged an underwriter or solicitation agent in connection with this Offer.

The Company may use the services of its officers and employees to perform administrative tasks in connection with this Offer and to solicit holders of the Original Warrants to participate in the Offer without any additional compensation paid to them for such efforts.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Our authorized capital consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 26,405,707 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding as of December 15, 2017, and 2,500,000 shares of  “blank check” preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, none of which were issued and outstanding as of such date. The following description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended to date, and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as currently in effect, copies of which are referenced as exhibits herein, and the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

Common Stock

Subject to the preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock, each holder of common stock is entitled to receive ratable dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. As of the date of this prospectus, no dividends on common stock have been declared or paid by the Company. The Company intends to employ all available funds for the development of its business and, accordingly, does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record. There are no cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Thus the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock can elect all of our directors if they choose to do so.

The holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive our assets pro rata.

Blank Check Preferred Stock

Our board of directors is empowered, without further action by stockholders, to issue from time to time one or more series of preferred stock, with such designations, rights, preferences and limitations as the Board may determine by resolution. The rights, preferences and limitations of separate series of preferred stock may differ with respect to such matters among such series as may be determined by our board of directors, including, without limitation, the rate of dividends, method and nature of payment of dividends, terms of redemption, amounts payable on liquidation, sinking fund provisions (if any), conversion rights (if any) and voting rights. Certain issuances of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company that some stockholders may believe is not in their interest.

Original Warrants

The Original Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of  $3.57 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment as described below. The Original Warrants were exercisable upon issuance and expire on July 29, 2020. Each Original Warrant will have a cashless exercise right in the event that the shares of common stock underlying such warrants are not covered by an effective registration statement at the time of such exercise.

The Original Warrants provide that the exercise price is subject to adjustment from time to time if we (i) pay 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) subdivide outstanding shares of common stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of shares of the common stock any shares of our capital stock.

New Warrants

See “The Exchange Offer — Terms of the New Warrants” for a summary of certain materials terms of the New Amendments. Other than as described therein, the terms of the New Warrants are substantially identical to the terms of the Original Warrants.

Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.3793 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. This statute currently does not apply to our Company because in order to be applicable, we would need to have a specified number of Nevada residents as shareholders, and we would have to do business in Nevada directly or through an affiliate.

In addition, our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficult, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

requiring at least 75% of outstanding voting stock in order to call a special meeting of stockholders;

​

•

not allowing stockholders to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting;

​

•

setting forth specific procedures regarding how our stockholders may present proposals or nominate directors for election at stockholder meetings;

​

•

requiring advance notice and duration of ownership requirements for stockholder proposals;

​

•

permitting our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval; and

​

•

limiting the rights of stockholders to amend our bylaws.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations that we believe will be applicable to Original Warrant holders who participate in the Offer to exchange Original Warrants for New Warrants, conditioned upon the immediate exercise of such New Warrants for shares of our common stock, and who own and ultimately dispose of our common stock. However, we have not requested a ruling from the IRS or any opinion of counsel with regard to the treatment of warrant holders participating in the exchange or otherwise respecting the matters addressed below and, as discussed below, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a position inconsistent with the treatment discussed below.

This discussion does not provide a complete analysis of all potentially applicable aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances. In addition, this analysis is not intended to be wholly applicable to all categories of Original Warrant holders who are subject to special rules, such as financial institutions and mutual funds; banks; insurance companies; investment companies; retirement plans; tax-exempt organizations; dealers or traders in securities; any person that holds their Original Warrants as part of a straddle or hedge arrangement; partnerships or other pass-through entities; persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States or who are foreign corporations, foreign partnerships or foreign estates or trusts for U.S. federal income tax purposes or whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; or persons who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

This discussion is based upon current provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial opinions, administrative rulings, and published positions of the IRS, and other applicable authorities and guidelines, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect).

This discussion assumes that Original Warrant holders hold their Original Warrants (and will hold shares of our common stock received upon the automatic exercise of their New Warrants) as capital assets (i.e., generally for investment). In addition, the following discussion does not address the tax consequences of participating in the Offer (or of holding shares of our common stock received upon the exercise of the New Warrants) under foreign, state or local tax laws. You are urged to consult your tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of participating in the Offer, holding shares of our common stock received upon the exercise of the New Warrants and, in each instance, the related reporting obligations, as well as the effects of state, local, and non-U.S. tax laws, and U.S. tax laws other than income tax laws.

If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of an Original Warrant (or a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock received upon exercise of the New Warrants), the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Any such partnership, and any partner of any such partnership, should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of participating in the Offer and owning and disposing of shares of our common stock received upon exercise of the New Warrants).

The Exchange Offer

Although not free from doubt, because the New Warrants are required to be immediately exercised for shares of our common stock, the Company intends to take the position that, for federal income tax purposes, the exchange of Original Warrants for New Warrants is properly treated as a direct exchange of (i) Original Warrants for (ii) shares of our common stock, and qualifies as a recapitalization within the meaning of Code Section 368(a)(1)(E) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under this treatment, an Original Warrant holder will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the exchange, and such holder’s holding period respecting the shares of our common stock received in the exchange will include the holder’s holding period respecting the Original Warrants exchanged therefore. In addition, such holder’s tax basis in the shares of our common stock received in the exchange will equal to the sum of  (i) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Original Warrant immediately prior to the exchange, plus (ii) the exercise price paid by such holder for the common stock in connection with exercising the New Warrants.

The foregoing tax discussion is based on current tax law, regulations and interpretive rulings as they exist at this time. The IRS has not made a determination, nor has the Company received any opinion of

31

counsel, on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Offer or of a holder’s participation in the Offer, and there is no published guidance directly on point. Because of the lack of authority dealing with transactions similar to the Offer, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Offer are unclear, and alternative characterizations are possible that (i) could require you to immediately recognize gain or loss in connection with participating in the Offer, and/or (ii) may impact your holding period of the shares of our common stock received as a result of participating in the Offer.

For example, the IRS could take the position that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the transactions occurring pursuant to the Offer are properly treated, not as a direct exchange of Original Warrants for shares of our common stock, but instead, consistent with its form, as first, an exchange of Original Warrants for New Warrants, qualifying as a recapitalization within the meaning of Code Section 368(a)(1)(E), followed by an immediate exercise of the New Warrants for shares of our common stock. In such a case, a holder’s tax basis in the Original Warrants would be allocated to the New Warrants received in the exchange. And, upon exercise of the New Warrants for shares of our common stock, a holder will not recognize gain or loss, and will instead be treated as acquiring shares of our common stock as a result of such exercise. In such a case, the holder will have an adjusted tax basis in the common stock so acquired equal to the sum of  (i) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Warrant immediately prior to such exercise, plus (ii) the exercise price paid by such holder for the common stock in connection with exercising such New Warrant. Furthermore (in contrast to the tacked and continued holding period discussed above under the discussion which assumed that the Offer would be treated as a direct exchange of the Original Warrants for shares of our common stock), if the Offer were treated instead as first, an exchange of Original Warrants for New Warrants, followed by an immediate exercise of the New Warrants for shares of our common stock, then the holding period for the common stock so acquired in connection with the exercise will generally commence on the date after the date of the exercise of the New Warrant.

In light of the uncertainty and discussion above, we urge you to consult your tax advisor regarding the potential tax consequences of the Offer to you in your particular circumstances, including the consequences of possible alternative characterizations.

Distributions Paid on Shares of Our Common Stock

In general, a distribution received in respect of our common stock will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing the adjusted basis in a holder’s shares of our common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds such holder’s adjusted basis in such shares of our common stock, as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such stock. The tax implications of such sale are generally discussed below under “— Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock.”

In general, an individual (as opposed to a corporate) holder of shares of our common stock will recognize ordinary income on the receipt of a dividend. For tax years commencing after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, the highest marginal U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to individuals with respect to their ordinary income is 37%. However, a reduced rate of tax (e.g., 20%) may be available for certain “qualified dividend income” depending on your particular facts and circumstances, including whether you satisfy certain holding period requirements respecting the shares of our common stock upon which the dividend is paid.

In general, for tax years commencing after December 31, 2017, corporate holders of shares of our common stock are subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 21%. However, corporate holders of shares of our common stock generally will be entitled to a deduction (sometimes referred to as a “dividends received deduction”) equal to, for example, fifty percent (50%) of distributions which are treated as dividends on our common stock. To the extent applicable, the dividends received deduction is only available to distributions treated as dividends, and is not available with respect to distributions treated as a return of capital or capital gain. Furthermore, the dividends received deduction is subject to various restrictions and limitations (e.g., a required minimum holding period). Corporate holders should consult their tax advisors as to their eligibility for this deduction.

32

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock

Except in certain circumstances discussed below, in general, upon a sale or other taxable disposition of common stock, a holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The amount of such gain or loss will be measured by the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received upon the sale or other taxable disposition of the stock, and (ii) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock being disposed of or sold. A holder’s adjusted tax basis in shares of our common stock will generally be equal to the price which the holder paid for such stock. For these purposes, a holder’s adjusted tax basis in shares of our common stock will generally be comprised of  (i) the price paid to acquire the Original Warrants, to the extent such price paid is allocable to the New Warrants in connection with the Offer, plus (ii) the exercise price paid for shares of our common stock in connection with the immediate exercise of the New Warrants in accordance with their terms), subject to applicable adjustments (if any), such as a distribution which is treated as a return of capital on the common stock.

Under current law, the highest marginal U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to individuals respecting long-term capital gains is twenty percent (20%). Gain will be long-term capital gain if the holder’s holding period in the common stock is more than twelve months. Short-term capital gains are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Capital losses generally offset capital gains. However, for individual holders, excess capital losses are allowed as a deduction against ordinary income up to the lesser of  $3,000 or the amount of such excess; and unused capital losses may be carried forward. Corporate (as opposed to individual) holders will generally be subject to tax on such gains at the rate applicable to corporations. In general, for tax years commencing after December 31, 2017, corporate holders of shares of our common stock are subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 21%.

In certain circumstances, a redemption of our common stock may be treated as a distribution (and not as discussed immediately above, as a sale). A redemption of common stock will be treated as a sale if all of the holder’s interest in the Company is redeemed or certain other tests are met which generally involve a sufficient reduction in the holder’s interest (including deemed interest under certain constructive ownership rules) in the Company. If the transaction is treated as a sale, then the tax treatment of the holder will follow that which is described above with respect to the sale other taxable disposition of our stock. Alternatively, if the transaction is treated as a distribution, then income recognized by a holder will be determined without an offset of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the redeemed shares of our common stock, and the redemption proceeds will be treated in the same manner as distributions (described above under “— Distributions Paid on Shares of Our Common Stock”). If the redemption is treated as a distribution (as opposed to a sale), then the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the redeemed shares of our common stock, to the extent not reduced through distributions treated as a return of capital, will be transferred to the holder’s remaining shares of our common stock.

Medicare Tax

In addition to the U.S. federal income tax imposed on dividends (discussed above under “— Distributions Paid on Shares of Our Common Stock”) and on gains (discussed above under “— Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock”), certain individuals, estates and trusts whose income exceeds an applicable threshold generally will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare surtax on “net investment income.” For these purposes, “net investment income” generally includes, among other things, dividends and any gain from the sale or other disposition in respect of securities liked shares of common stock.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting requirements generally will apply to certain holders with respect to dividends paid on, or, under certain circumstances, the proceeds of a sale, exchange, or other disposition of common stock. Under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, a holder of common stock may be subject to backup withholding with respect to dividends paid on common stock, or the proceeds of a sale, exchange or disposition of common stock, unless such holder (a) is a corporation or comes within certain other exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact in the manner required, or (b), within a reasonable period of time, provides a correct taxpayer identification number, certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding (e.g., on an IRS Form W-9 or similar form) and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

33

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will generally be allowed as a credit against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. You should consult your tax advisors regarding the application of information reporting and backup withholding rules to your particular situation, the availability of an exemption therefrom, and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption, if applicable.

THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS NOT A COMPLETE DISCUSSION OF ALL U.S. TAX CONSIDERATIONS THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO YOU. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION AS IT RELATES TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE OF ORIGINAL WARRANTS FOR NEW WARRANTS, THE EXERCISE OF NEW WARRANTS FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

ANNEX A​

FORM OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE FOR $3.00 NEW WARRANTS

THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE WILL BE VOID IF NOT EXERCISED PRIOR

TO 5:00 P.M. NEW YORK CITY TIME ON THE EXPIRATION DATE

CRYOPORT, INC.

A WARRANT CERTIFICATE

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, [           ] (“Warrantholder”) is the registered holder of [           ] Warrants (the “Warrant” or “Warrants”) to purchase fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Share” or “Shares”), of CRYOPORT, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).

(1) Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

(a) Warrant Price.   Each Warrant shall entitle the registered holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant, to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock at the price of  $3.00 per share. The term “Warrant Price” as used in this Agreement refers to the price per share at which Common Stock may be purchased at the time the Warrants are exercised.

(b) Duration of Warrants.   The Warrants may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise Period”) commencing on the date of issuance and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date” shall mean February 2, 2018, as may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion but in all cases contemporaneous with any extension of the expiration date of the Company’s offer (the “Offer”) 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”) to exchange such Original Warrants for an equal number of Warrants, conditioned upon the immediate exercise of such Warrants, made pursuant to the Company’s offer letter/prospectus, dated January 2, 2018. Each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof shall cease at the close of business on the Expiration Date.

(c) Exercise of Warrants.

(i) Exercise and Payment.   Subject to the provisions of the Warrants, the Warrants may be exercised by the registered holder thereof by complying with the terms of the Offer, including by paying the Warrant Price in full in lawful money of the United States for each share of Common Stock as to which the Warrants are exercised as instructed therein. The exercise of this Warrant will be effective at the Expiration Date.

(ii) Issuance of Certificates.   As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrants and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall issue to the registered holder of such Warrants a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and, if such Warrants shall not have been exercised or surrendered in full, a new countersigned Warrant Certificate for the number of shares as to which such Warrants shall not have been exercised or surrendered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any securities pursuant to the exercise of Warrants unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is available for delivery to the Warrant holders, or (b) the exercise of the Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and such securities are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under applicable securities laws of the state or other jurisdiction in which the registered holder resides. Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any registered holder in any state in which such exercise or issuance would be unlawful. In the event a registration statement under the Act with respect to the Common Stock underlying the Warrants is not effective or a prospectus is not available, or because such exercise would be unlawful with respect to a

A-1

registered holder in any state, the registered holder shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrants and such Warrants may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be obligated to pay such registered holder any cash consideration upon exercise (except pursuant to Section 2(e)). The Company’s counsel shall deliver any legal opinions required by the Warrant Agent in connection with the exercise of the Warrants at no cost to the Warrantholder.

(iii) Valid Issuance.   All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise or surrender of the Warrants in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(iv) Date of Issuance.   Each person or entity in whose name any such certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrants were surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

(v) Exercise Limitation.   Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, the Warrantholder shall not be entitled to exercise the Warrants for a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Warrantholder to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock following such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Warrantholder shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which determination of such proviso is being made, but shall exclude the shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrants beneficially owned by the Warrantholder and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Warrantholder subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 1(c)(v), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Warrantholder may waive the foregoing limitation by written notice to the Company upon not less than 61 days prior written notice (such waiver taking effect only upon the expiration of such 61 day notice period and applying only to the Warrantholder and not to any other holder of Warrants). For purposes of this Section 1(c)(v), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Warrantholder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the date thereof, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company as to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of the Warrantholder, the Company shall within three trading days confirm in writing or by electronic mail to the Warrantholder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Warrants, by the Warrantholder since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

(d) Cancellation.   This Warrant shall be cancelled upon the full exercise of this Warrant.

(2) Adjustments.

(a) Stock Dividends; Stock Splits.   If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split of shares of Common Stock, or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, stock split or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrants shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

A-2

(b) Aggregation of Shares.   If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrants shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(c) Adjustments in Warrant Price.   Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in Sections 2(a) and 2(b), the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price, immediately prior to such adjustment, by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

(d) Extraordinary Dividends.   If the Company, at any time during the Exercise Period, shall pay a dividend in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (i) as described in Sections 2(a), 2(b) or 2(e), or (ii) regular quarterly or other periodic dividends (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend in order that subsequent thereto upon exercise of the Warrants the Warrantholder may obtain the equivalent benefit of such Extraordinary Dividend.

(e) Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, Etc.   In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change covered by Sections 2(a) or 2(b) hereof or one that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or, in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or, in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Warrants shall thereafter represent the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Warrants holder would have received if such Warrants holder had exercised his, her or its Warrants immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by Sections 2(a) or 2(b), then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 2(a), 2(b),2(c) and this Section 2(e). The provisions of this Section 2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

(f) Notices of Changes in Warrants.   Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall give written notice thereof to each registered holder, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of the Warrants, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(d) or 2(e) the Company shall give written notice to each Warrants holder, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrants register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

(g) Form of Warrant.   The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 2, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement.

A-3

However, the Company may, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of Warrants that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the rights of holders thereof, and any Warrants thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for outstanding Warrants or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

(h) Notice of Certain Transactions.   In the event that the Company shall propose to (i) offer the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (ii) issue any rights, options or warrants entitling the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or (iii) make a tender offer or exchange offer with respect to the Common Stock, the Company shall send to the Warrant holders a notice of such proposed action or offer. Such notice shall be mailed to the registered holders at their addresses as they appear in the Warrants register, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such dividend, distribution or rights, or the date such issuance or event is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and shall briefly indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock and on the number and kind of any other shares of stock and on other property, if any, and the number of shares of Common Stock and other property, if any, issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Warrant Price after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to this Section 2 which would be required as a result of such action. Such notice shall be given as promptly as practicable after the Company has determined to take any such action and (x) in the case of any action covered by clause (i) or (ii) above, at least 10 days prior to the record date for determining the holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such action or (y) in the case of any other such action, at least 20 days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier.

(3) Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.

(a) Registration of Transfer.   The Company shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrants into the Warrant register, upon surrender of such Warrants for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, new Warrants representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrants shall be cancelled by the Company.

(b) Procedure for Surrender of Warrants.   Warrants may be surrendered to the Company, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and, thereupon, the Company shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the registered holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that, in the event the Warrants surrendered for transfer bear a restrictive legend, the Company shall not cancel such Warrants and issue new Warrants in exchange therefor until the Company has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

(c) Service Charges.   No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants.

(4) Lock-Up Period.

(a) Lock-Up Restrictions.   The Warrantholder agrees not to sell, make any Short Sale (as defined below) of, loan, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants without the prior written consent of the Company for a period of sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date (the “Lock-Up Period”).

(b) Stop-Transfer Instructions.   In order to enforce this Section 4, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares of the Warrantholder (and the shares of every other holder subject to the restrictions in this Section 4).

(5) Short Sales.   Until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, other than with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, neither the Warrantholder nor any Affiliate (as defined below) of Warrantholder which (a) had knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) has or shares discretion relating to such Warrantholder’s investments or trading or information concerning such Warrantholder’s investments,

A-4

including in respect of the shares and warrants, and (c) is subject to such Warrantholder’s review or input concerning such Affiliate’s investments or trading (collectively, “Trading Affiliates”) will directly or indirectly, alone or with any individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind (collectively “Persons”), acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Holder or Trading Affiliate, effect or agree to effect any Short Sales (as defined below) involving the Company’s shares of common stock or other securities of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Holder and/or Trading Affiliate that is, individually or collectively, a multi-managed investment bank or vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Holder’s or Trading Affiliate’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Holder’s or Trading Affiliate’s assets, the covenants set forth above shall apply only with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that have knowledge about the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. For purposes hereof, “Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Act. With respect to a Warrantholder, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Warrantholder will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Warrantholder. For purposes hereof, “Short Sale” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, whether or not against the box, and all types 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 (including on a total return basis), or sales or other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

(6) Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

(a) No Rights as Stockholder.   The Warrants do not entitle the registered holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends or other distributions, to exercise any preemptive rights, or to vote, consent or receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

(b) Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant Certificates.   If any Warrant Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its discretion impose (which terms shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant Certificate, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant Certificate of like denomination, tenor and date as the Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant Certificate shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

(c) Reservation of Common Stock.   The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Notices.   Any notice, statement or demand authorized by this Certificate to be given or made by the Company or by the holder of the Warrants to or on the Company shall be delivered by hand or sent by registered or certified mail or overnight courier service, addressed (until another address is provided in writing by the Company) as follows:

(e) Applicable Law.   The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Certificate and of the Warrants shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles. The Company hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to this Certificate and to the Warrants shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of Nevada or the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. The Company hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Any such process or summons to be served upon the Company may be served by transmitting a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to it at the address set forth in Section 6(d) hereof.

The fair value of the Original Warrants exchanged and the New Warrants will be determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model as of the Expiration Date. The Offer does not modify the current accounting treatment for the Original Warrants that are not tendered in the Offer.

Basis of Presentation

​

Cryoport, Inc. is referred to herein as the “Company.”

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2017 of the Company (the “Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information”) has been prepared by management on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from information derived from the financial statements of the Company. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared for inclusion in the Company’s Offer Letter/Prospectus, dated January 22, 2018 (the “Offer Letter/Prospectus”), which forms a part of the Company’s Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”). The Company filed the Schedule TO with the SEC in connection with the Company’s offer (the “Offer”) to holders of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of  $3.57 per share (the “Original Warrants”) to exchange up to 2,000,000 of such Original Warrants for an equal number of warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of  $3.00 per share (the “New Warrants”), conditioned upon the immediate exercise of such New Warrants, as further described below in Note 3, Description of the Transaction.

The Original Warrants were issued (i) in July 2015 in connection with the Company’s registered public offering of 2,090,750 units (each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one Original Warrant), and (ii) in January 2016 in connection with the mandatory exchange of all of the Company’s outstanding Class A Convertible Preferred Stock and Class B Convertible Preferred Stock into 4,977,038 units (each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one Original Warrant) (the “Private Original Warrants”).

If the aggregate number of common stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants (the “New Warrant Shares”) to be issued for all holders participating in the Offer is greater than 2,000,000 (the “Offer 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. In such instance, the Company will return to participating holders such number of Original Warrants that were not accepted as a result of the pro rata reduction.

The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared as if  (i) 2,000,000 outstanding Original Warrants were exchanged for an equal number of New Warrants in the Offer, and (ii) 2,000,000 New Warrant Shares were issued upon the immediate exercise of the New Warrants. The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information gives effect to the Offer as if this transaction occurred on September 30, 2017.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information has been derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2017.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the Historical Financial Statements. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information is for informational purposes only and does not purport to reflect the financial position that would have occurred if the Offer had been consummated on the date indicated above, nor does it purport to represent or be indicative of the financial position of the Company for any future dates or periods.

Unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine month period ended December 31, 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 have not been presented since this transaction has no material effect on the Company’s operating results. However, see Note 6, Pro Forma Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders for the effect on the Company’s pro forma net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for these periods.

Significant Accounting Policies

​

The accounting policies used in the preparation of this unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information are those set out in the Historical Financial Statements.

3.

Description of the Transaction

​

For a limited period of time, the Company is offering to holders of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of  $3.57 per share the opportunity to exchange up to 2,000,000 of such Original Warrants for an equal number of warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of  $3.00 per share, conditioned upon the immediate exercise of such New Warrants.

Pursuant to the Offer, the New Warrants will have (i) an exercise price of  $3.00 per share and (ii) an exercise period that will expire concurrently with the expiration of the Offer at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on February 2, 2018, as may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Expiration Date”). By tendering Original Warrants, holders will also be agreeing to: (A) restrict their ability as the holder of New Warrant Shares to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any of such shares without the prior written consent of the Company for a period of sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date (the “Lock-Up Period”); and (B) acting alone or with others, not 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.

Participation in the Offer requires both the tender of Original Warrants as set forth in the Offer Letter/Prospectus and the exercise of the New Warrants, which will happen simultaneously effective as of the Expiration Date if the Original Warrants are properly tendered in the Offer. Holders may elect to participate in the Offer with respect to some or all of their Original Warrants. 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 purpose of the Offer is to raise funds to support the Company’s growth plans by providing the holders of the Original Warrants an incentive to exchange their Original Warrants for New Warrants, and exercise the New Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a reduced exercise price. The Company will receive all of the proceeds from the immediate exercise of the New Warrants, which will be used by the Company for business growth, including as working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

The Offer is conditioned upon (i) the existence of an effective Registration Statement on Form S-4 relating to the registration of the New Warrants and the New Warrant Shares, and (ii) the Company shall have concluded that consummation of the Offer will not constitute a “Rule 13e-3 transaction”, as such term is defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act. If the aggregate number of New Warrant Shares to be issued for all holders participating in the Offer is greater than the Offer 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. In such instance, the Company will return to participating holders such number of Original Warrants that were not accepted as a result of the pro rata reduction. Tendered payment for the New Warrant Shares relating to such Original Warrants that were not accepted will be returned to the holder, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom. See “The Exchange Offer — Offer Limit” in the Offer Letter/Prospectus for additional information.

(i) Original Warrants

As of the date of the Offer Letter/Prospectus, there were 3,836,793 outstanding Original Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,836,793 shares of common stock. However, if the aggregate number of Original

​

Warrants properly tendered in the Offer by all holders participating in the Offer is greater than the Offer 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. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information gives effect to (a) 2,000,000 outstanding Original Warrants exchanged for an equal number New Warrants in the Offer, (b) the immediate exercise of such New Warrants, and (c) the issuance of 2,000,000 New Warrant Shares upon exercise of the New Warrants at an exercise price of  $3.00 per share for gross proceeds of  $6,000,000.

(ii) Incremental fair value charge to statement of operations

The New Warrants, which have a lower exercise price than the Original Warrants, are treated as an inducement to enter into the Offer. As such, the difference between the actual fair value of the Original Warrants as of the date of their exchange and the actual fair value of the New Warrants will be recorded as warrant inducement expense, with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in-capital. The fair value of the Original Warrants exchanged and the New Warrants will be determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model as of the Expiration Date. The Offer does not modify the current accounting treatment for the Original Warrants that are not tendered in the Offer.

(iii) Other transaction costs

Other transaction costs of approximately $120,000 are expected to be incurred to complete the Offer as described in the section entitled “The Exchange Offer — Fees and Expenses” in the Offer Letter/Prospectus.

Pro Forma Assumptions and Adjustments

The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information gives effect to the Offer as if this transaction occurred on September 30, 2017. The following adjustments are directly attributable to the transaction:

(a)

To record the incremental fair value of 2,000,000 New Warrants to be issued as an inducement in the Offer.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, our directors will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director of his “duty of care.” This provision does not apply to the directors’ (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its stockholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the corporation or its stockholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director’s duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its stockholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the corporation or its stockholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 21.   Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

(a) Exhibits

See Exhibit Index following the signature page.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules:

Schedules not listed above have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.

Item 22.   Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

​

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

​

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the

​

II-1

Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in this registration statement;

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

​

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

​

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

​

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

​

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

​

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

​

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

​

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

​

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

​

(6)

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

​

(7)

To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such

​

II-2

request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(8)

To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in this registration statement when it became effective.

​

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
