Cryoport, Inc. Announces Proposed Convertible
Senior Notes Offering
NASHVILLE, Tennessee-(PRNewswire)-May
19, 2020-Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX) ("Cryoport") today announced its intention to offer, subject to market
and other conditions, $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2025 (the "notes")
in a private offering to investors reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Cryoport also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes
a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $15.0 million in principal amount of notes.
The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations
of Cryoport, will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on June 1, 2025, unless earlier repurchased,
redeemed or converted. At any time before the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date,
noteholders may convert their notes at their option into shares of Cryoport's common stock, together, if applicable, with
cash in lieu of any fractional share, at the then-applicable conversion rate. The notes will not be redeemable at Cryoport's
election before June 5, 2023. The notes will be redeemable, in whole and not in part, for cash at Cryoport's option at any
time on or after June 5, 2023, but only if (1) the last reported sale price per share of Cryoport's common stock exceeds
130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and (2) a registration statement covering the resale of the shares
of Cryoport's common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes is effective and available for use. The redemption price
will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding,
the redemption date. The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the notes will be determined at the pricing
Cryoport intends to use the net proceeds
from the offering primarily for working capital, inventory development, global infrastructure buildout and facilities expansion,
sales and marketing and, potentially, acquisitions with strategic impact.
The offer and sale of the notes and the
shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities
laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject
to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. This press release does not
constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the notes or the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of the notes, nor will there be any sale of the notes or such shares, in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer,
sale or solicitation would be unlawful.
