Securities Purchase and Registration Rights Agreement

On December 14, 2018, Cryoport, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase and Registration Rights Agreement (the “SPA”) with Petrichor Opportunities Fund I LP (the “Investor”) in connection with (i) the issuance and sale of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”), par value $0.001 per share (the “Investment Shares”), at a price equal to $10.00 per share and (ii) the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000 of floating rate convertible notes (the “Notes”) of the Company, with such Notes convertible on the terms stated therein into shares of Common Stock (the “Note Shares”) (together, the “Transaction”). The SPA includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company.

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company agreed to register the Investment Shares and the Note Shares by filing a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the 45th calendar day after the closing date of the Transaction (subject to certain permitted extensions). To the extent the registration statement is not filed within such 45-day deadline, the registration statement is not declared effective within 90 calendar days (or 120 calendar days if reviewed by the SEC, subject to certain permitted extensions in each case) or the effectiveness of the registration statement is not maintained (subject to certain allowable grace periods), then the Company will be obligated pay a fee.

In connection with the Transaction, the Company paid Petrichor Opportunities Fund I LP a commitment fee on the aggregate total purchase price for the Transaction.

The Investment Shares and the Notes were offered and sold to the Investor pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D as promulgated thereunder.

Notes

The Notes are the senior unsecured obligation of the Company. Unless earlier converted or redeemed, the Notes will mature on December 14, 2023.

The Notes accrue interest at a rate equal to the greater of (a) three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or (b) two percent, plus the applicable margin of six percent on the outstanding balance of the Notes, payable quarterly on the first business day of each calendar quarter.

Prior to the maturity, a holder of the Notes will have the right to convert all or any portion of its Notes, including any accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $13.11 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Notes. If, at any time on or prior to December 14, 2021, the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock exceeds $17.48 for 15 consecutive trading days and certain additional conditions are satisfied, the Notes will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price, subject to certain conditions.

At any time after June 14, 2019, the Company has the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Notes for cash prior to the Maturity Date, at a redemption premium on such amount as follows: (a) prior to December 14, 2019, 112%; (b) after December 14, 2019 but on or prior to December 14, 2020, 109%; and (c) after December 14, 2020, 106% (the “Redemption Premium”).

Upon the occurrence of certain events of default as set forth in the Notes (other than events of default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings) or a change of control, a holder of the Notes may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of its Notes at the applicable Redemption Premium. If certain events of default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings occur, all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest (plus any accrued and unpaid late charges) will automatically become due and payable at the applicable Redemption Premium.

The Notes contain certain covenants and restrictions, including, among others, that, for so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company will not incur any indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness under the Notes), permit liens on its properties (other that permitted liens under the Notes), make payments on junior securities, make dividends or transfer certain assets or permit its unrestricted cash to be less than a minimum amount.

The foregoing description of the SPA and the Notes is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the SPA and the Notes, which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
