About Cryoport

Overview

We are redefining the temperature-controlled supply chain for the life sciences industry by providing a unique and evolving platform of critical products and solutions including advanced packaging, informatics, specialty logistics services, biostorage services, and cryogenic life sciences equipment. With over 820 employees spread across over 30 locations worldwide, we are engaged in providing global solutions to the biopharma/pharma, animal health, and human reproductive medicine markets. Our primary focus is on addressing the critical temperature-controlled supply chain needs within the biopharmaceutical space with an emphasis on serving the rapidly growing cell and gene therapy, or C&GT, market.

Our Strategy

We are focused on establishing best-in-class, comprehensive temperature-controlled supply chain solutions that support the expanding global landscape of the life sciences industry. We believe our growth strategy aligns with the growth of the markets we serve and our customers within them. In particular, we have identified the C&GT market as a high growth market, with unmet supply chain needs that we believe can benefit significantly from our solutions. The global C&GT market was valued at approximately $4.2 billion in 2019 and is projected to grow to over $33.1 billion by 2024.

Over the last several years, we have grown to become a leader in supporting the clinical trials and commercial launches of cell and gene therapies globally. As of September 30, 2021, we supported 582 clinical trials and eight (8) commercial therapies, including KYMRIAH by Novartis, YESCARTA and TECARTUS by Gilead/Kite, and BREYANZI and ABECMA by Bristol-Myers Squibb. A total of nine (9) Cryoport-supported Biologic License Applications (BLAs) or Marketing Authorization Applications (MAAs) were filed in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, based on internal analysis and data from the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine, of which three (3) were filed during the third quarter of 2021. Looking forward, we anticipate up to another four (4) BLA and MAA submissions for Cryoport-supported products during the remainder of 2021, and an additional twenty-one (21) filings in 2022. Additionally, a total of four (4) Cryoport-supported therapies received extended or supplemental approvals in the third quarter of 2021. Commercial approvals of these therapies provide an opportunity to become significant revenue drivers for us in the future as each of them requires comprehensive temperature-controlled supply chain support and services at commercial scale, and we expect that many will select us as their critical supply chain solution as a result of our work in connection with their respective clinical trials.

We intend to build on our recent history of developing market-leading, temperature-controlled supply chain solutions and delivering strong growth through the following strategies:

•

Superior service to our clients. We strive to provide our clients with best-in-class solutions to help manage some of the most critical aspects of their evolving businesses with advanced temperature-controlled supply chain solutions tailored to their specific requirements.

•

Continuous innovation. We plan to capitalize on our internal technological expertise to develop products and solutions that address unmet needs in the global supply chain of the C&GT market and the other life sciences markets we serve. We plan to strengthen our existing products and solutions

S-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

with complementary products, solutions and innovative technologies that are designed to provide our customers with tailored solutions to manage the critical aspects of the supply chain effectively and efficiently.

•

Geographical expansion. We intend to expand our global commercial presence by continuing to broaden our capabilities within our existing network and selectively build out new global supply chain centers, manufacturing facilities, and infrastructure in support of known and anticipated growth in demand for our solutions and equipment.

•

Strategic logistics alliances and collaborations. We have been successful in establishing strategic alliances around the world as a means for our current and prospective client base to utilize our solutions. We have focused our efforts on market leading companies in the logistics services industry as well as participants in the life sciences industry. These strategies drive integration of our solutions into our alliance partners’ services. We currently support three of the largest integrators in the world: FedEx, DHL and UPS, with advanced cryogenic logistics solutions for the life sciences industry. Our Compliance Unified EcosystemTM includes alliance partners such as McKesson Specialty Health, a division of McKesson Corporation, Be The Match BioTherapies, Brooks Life Sciences, EVERSANA, Lonza, Medipal, Vineti, Mitsubishi Logistics and LabConnect. The overarching goal of these partnerships is to provide fully integrated solutions including, but not limited to, process optimization that reduces risk, increases transparency, and improves certainty.

•

Targeted acquisitions. We intend to continue to selectively pursue acquisitions that may include innovative technologies and solutions and/or geographic competencies and capabilities to ensure we further enhance and broaden our market leadership and enable our clients to successfully bring products and life-saving therapies to market.

•

Setting industry standards. Our supply chain solutions are designed to support our clients’ initiatives through early-stage studies, clinical trials, and their global commercialization. We believe our ‘first mover’ advantage and the experience we have gained in supporting the C&GT market have positioned us as a market leader in the space with a strong platform of comprehensive solutions, products and services that have been adopted by many leading life sciences companies. A key strategy for further accelerating market adoption of our enabling solutions is to maintain and extend our position as the industry leader in the markets we serve. We believe this approach can further strengthen our market position, expand the breadth of services our clients utilize, increase our competitive advantage and contribute to our long-term growth.

Our Solutions

We use our competencies and capabilities to develop comprehensive and reliable, technology-centric solutions that address the specific needs of our customers. Our platform of temperature-controlled supply chain solutions, products and service includes cold-chain and cryogenic life sciences equipment, advanced packaging, informatics, specialty logistics services, biostorage services, kitting, labeling, fulfillment and consulting. These solutions, products and services are utilized for temperature-controlled supply chain services in the life sciences industry for personalized medicine, cell therapies, stem cells, cell lines, vaccines, diagnostic materials, semen, eggs, embryos, cord blood, bio-pharmaceuticals, infectious substances, and other commodities that require continuous exposure to certain and specific ranges of precision-controlled temperatures and environments.

Our Cryoport solutions are comprised primarily of a sophisticated, cloud-based, logistics management platform, which is branded as the Cryoportal Logistics Management Platform®, or the Cryoportal®, Cryoport Express® Shippers and the SmartPak Condition Monitoring System®, or the SmartPak®. The Cryoportal supports the management of shipments through a single interface, which includes order entry, document preparation, customs documentation, courier management, near real-time shipment tracking and monitoring, issue resolution, and regulatory compliance requirements. In addition, it provides unique and incisive information dashboards and validation documentation for every shipment through data collected by the SmartPak. The Cryoportal can record and retain a fully documented history of all Cryoport Express Shippers, including chain-of-custody, chain-of-condition, chain-of-identity, and Chain of Compliance® information for each shipment, which is designed to ensure that the stability of shipped biologic commodities are

S-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

maintained throughout the shipping cycle. At the client’s option, recorded information is archived, allowing the client to meet exacting requirements necessary for scientific work and/or proof of regulatory compliance during the logistics process.

During 2018, we introduced our Chain of Compliance solution, as a new industry standard within the C&GT market. Our Chain of Compliance goes beyond chain-of-custody, chain-of-condition, chain-of-identity by providing traceability of the equipment, equipment components and processes supporting each client or patient therapy. The Chain of Compliance is designed to enable us to recall any single or every transport that an individual Cryoport Express Shipper has taken, the client(s) it supported, the commodity transported, its performance during transit, and each step that we perform before the shipper is put back into service. This includes Cryoport Express Shipper performance and requalification history, commodity history, courier handling and performance history, calibration history, and correlation competencies that can link in field events to equipment performance. Many of these standards have been incorporated in the recently released ISO-21973 standard and we believe they are likely to become regulatory requirements in the near future.

In September 2019, the Cryoport Express Advanced Therapy Shipper™ was launched to address specific needs of biopharma companies developing and commercializing C&GTs. The Cryoport Express Advanced Therapy Shippers provide verification processes to ensure that it has only been used for human-based therapies and materials and employ advanced validated cleaning methods to minimize the risk of cross-contamination of equipment and materials during use, delivery, and distribution of biopharmaceutical materials.

We further extended our solutions, capabilities, and global logistics network through the following recent acquisitions:

In October 2020, we further expanded our capabilities by acquiring CRYOPDP, a leading global provider of innovative temperature-controlled logistics solutions for high value, time critical and temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals. CRYOPDP covers a significant portion of the healthcare temperature-controlled supply chain including packaging, pick-pack kit preparation, premium services and specialty biopharma/pharma courier support. This acquisition increased our global presence to a network of 27 global supply chain centers in 13 countries. This expanded network gives us a new advantage when serving global multi-national customers and also provides redundancies and backup that reduce supply chain risk for our customers. CRYOPDP has also developed a cloud-based logistics platform branded as UnITy™, which we plan to integrate with our Cryoportal Logistics Management Platform. UnITy™, provides functionalities such as a Transport Management System, Warehousing Management System, Quality Management System, a Customer Experience portal, mobile apps for track and trace during transport and storage as well as integration with transportation agents and business partners. In the second quarter of 2021, we completed the acquisitions of Critical Transport Solutions Australia (CTSA) in Australia and F-airGate in Belgium to further enhance our existing global temperature-controlled supply chain capabilities in the APAC and EMEA regions.

Also in October 2020, we made a second acquisition, acquiring MVE Biological Solutions from Chart Industries, Inc. MVE Biological Solutions, or MVE, provides cryobiological storage and transportation solutions for the life sciences industry through its advanced line of cryogenic stainless-steel freezers, aluminum dewars and related ancillary equipment used in the storage and transport of life sciences commodities, which includes the rapidly growing C&GT business. With three primary facilities, located in Ball Ground, Georgia, New Prague, Minnesota and Cheng-du, China, MVE is a leader in serving the life sciences industry throughout the world. The acquisition is a vertical integration that, in addition to expanding our footprint to handle the growing demand driven by the growth in the C&GT market, helps to secure our supply of cryogenic shippers and biostorage equipment. MVE strengthens Cryoport’s presence in its biopharma/pharma, animal health and reproductive medicine markets. Its cryobiological storage and transport clients include C&GT, medical laboratories, biotech/pharmaceutical research facilities, blood and tissue banks, breeders, veterinary laboratories, large-scale bio-repositories, and fertility clinics. We believe the addition of MVE allows us to capture a greater share of the global spend on supply chain products and services that supports C&GT.

S-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In May 2019, we expanded our capabilities by acquiring Cryogene Partners, a Texas general partnership doing business as Cryogene Labs, or Cryogene. Cryogene is an expanding state-of-the-art temperature-controlled biostorage solutions business strategically located in Houston, Texas. Cryogene is an industry leader in the management of pre-clinical services which include critical biological commodities to support clinical research, the advancement of C&GTs, GMP biologics, and public health research. It provides customized, end-to-end chain of custody/chain of condition solutions for its clients.

As demonstrated by our organic growth and acquisitions, we are continually focused on establishing comprehensive temperature-controlled supply chain solutions to support the rapidly expanding global landscape of the life sciences industry.

The Markets We Serve

Biopharma/Pharma. In the biopharma/pharma market, we are focused on supporting the saving of lives. From clinical research and development to clinical research organizations to clinical trials for C&GTs to the storage and delivery of life-saving C&GTs to the customers of biopharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations to crucial points of care, we strive to address fundamental-to-advanced temperature-controlled storage, transport, packaging, fulfillment, and information challenges. In particular, C&GTs have become a rapidly growing area of biological drug development, with over 1,320 industry-sponsored, global clinical trials underway and nearly 1,200 regenerative medicine and advanced therapy developers, as reported by the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine in their H1 2021 update. These therapeutic approaches have certain supply chain challenges that we believe our solutions are well tailored to address.

Animal Health. In the animal health market, we provide support for animal reproduction, which primarily involves the production of protein for sustaining life. We also support the health of recreational and companion animals. Animal disease prevention and control rely on the safe transport and storage of vaccines and other biological materials around the world. Our temperature-controlled supply chain solutions are designed to help avoid costly delays through nonstop monitoring and complete fleet management from and to the origin and destination points as well as provide cryobiological storage equipment.

Reproductive Medicine. In the reproductive medicine market, we are focused on the support of the creation of human life by supporting In Vitro Fertilization, or IVF, and related technologies along with clinical networks globally. Through our CryoStork services, we transport reproductive materials through dedicated medical transport services to help ensure that IVF materials are on the next flight out to their destination. IVF materials also receive one-on-one handling and individualized attention during the entire logistics process. In addition, we also provide cryobiological storage equipment to fertility clinics around the world.

Acquisitions

On October 1, 2020, we completed our acquisition of CRYOPDP for a cash consideration of €49 million, subject to cash, net debt, working capital and other adjustments. CRYOPDP, based in France, is a leading global provider of innovative temperature-controlled logistics solutions to the clinical research, pharmaceutical and cell and gene therapy markets. CRYOPDP conducts its business activities mainly through entities based in the United Kingdom, the United States, the Asia-Pacific region, and India.

Also, on October 1, 2020, we completed our acquisition of MVE Biological Solutions for cash consideration of $320 million, subject to customary closing working capital and other adjustments. We financed a portion of the closing cash payment of the MVE Biological Solutions acquisition with the net proceeds of the Blackstone Private Placement, as further discussed below. MVE Biological Solutions is a global leader in manufactured vacuum insulated products and cryogenic freezer systems for the life sciences industry. MVE Biological Solutions has manufacturing and distribution operations in the United States, Europe, and Asia.

In the second quarter of 2021, we completed the acquisitions of Critical Transport Solutions Australia (CTSA) in Australia and F-airGate in Belgium to further enhance our existing global temperature-controlled supply chain capabilities in the APAC and EMEA regions.

S-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a result of the acquisitions, as of October 31, 2021 we have over 820 employees: 760 full-time, 5 part-time, and 56 temporary, of which 403 are located in the Americas, 176 in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, or EMEA, and 242 in Asia Pacific, or APAC. We believe that we have assembled a strong management/leadership team with the experience and expertise needed to execute our business strategy. We anticipate hiring additional personnel as needs dictate to implement our global growth strategy.

After the acquisitions, we lease or own various corporate, research and development, biostorage, global logistics and supply chain centers at approximately 30 total sites across the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions.

Risks Associated with our Business

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

The integration and operation of acquired businesses, including MVE Biological Solutions and CRYOPDP, may disrupt our business and create additional expenses, and we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions.

•

Our products and services may contain errors or defects, which could result in damage to our reputation, lost revenues, diverted development resources and increased service costs, litigation and product recalls.

•

The recent global pandemic caused by COVID-19 has already and may continue to adversely affect our business operations, financial performance and results of operations, the extent of which is uncertain and difficult to predict.

•

As an increasingly global business, we are exposed to economic, political, and other risks in different countries which could materially reduce our sales, profitability or cash flows, or materially increase our liabilities.

•

We will have difficulty increasing our revenues if we experience delays, difficulties or unanticipated costs in establishing the sales, marketing and distribution capabilities necessary to successfully commercialize our solutions.

•

Our ability to grow and compete in our industry will be hampered if we are unable to retain the continued service of our key professionals or to identify, hire and retain additional qualified professionals.

•

We depend on the availability of certain component products used in our solutions; if we experience delays in the procurement of components manufactured by third parties, then we may experience customer dissatisfaction and our reputation could suffer.

•

We operate in a competitive industry and if we cannot compete effectively, we will lose business.

•

If we successfully develop products and/or services, but those products and/or services do not achieve and maintain market acceptance, our business will not be profitable.

•

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain patent protection for our solutions, preserve our trade secrets, and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.

•

We rely upon certain critical information systems, including our Cryoportal software platform, for the operation of our business and the failure of any critical information system could adversely impact our reputation and future revenues and we may be required to increase our spending on data and system security.

•

Complying with certain regulations that apply to shipments using our solutions can limit our activities and increase our cost of operations.

•

We are subject to regulation by the FDA or certain similar foreign regulatory agencies, and failure to comply with such regulations could harm our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

•

Historically, we have incurred significant losses and we may incur losses in the future.

•

We may need to raise additional capital in the future, and if we are unable to secure adequate funds on terms acceptable to us, we could be unable to execute our business plan.

THE CONCURRENT OFFERING

Concurrently with this placement, we are offering 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2026, which we refer to as the convertible notes (the “Concurrent Offering”), in an aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000. We have granted the initial purchasers of the Concurrent Offering an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the convertible notes are first issued, up to an additional $52,500,000 principal amount of convertible notes. We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the Concurrent Offering will be approximately $339.0 million (or approximately $389.9 million if the initial purchasers of the Concurrent Offering fully exercise their option to purchase additional convertible notes), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses.

The Concurrent Offering is being made pursuant to a confidential offering memorandum (and not pursuant to this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus) only to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in transactions that are exempt from the registration and prospectus-delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The completion of this placement is contingent on the completion of the Concurrent Offering, however the completion of the Concurrent Offering is not contingent on the completion of this placement. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the convertible notes, or the shares of common stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes, we are offering in the Concurrent Offering.

The convertible notes will be our senior, unsecured obligations and will accrue interest at a rate of 0.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2022. The convertible notes will mature on December 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before September 1, 2026, noteholders will have the right to convert their convertible notes only upon the occurrence of certain events and during specified periods. From and after September 1, 2026, noteholders may convert their convertible notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. The initial conversion rate will be 8.5038 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $117.59 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. If a “make-whole fundamental change” (which will be defined in the indenture governing the convertible notes to include certain business combination transactions involving us, the delisting of our common stock and the calling of the convertible notes for redemption) occurs, then we will in certain circumstances increase the conversion rate for a specified period of time. In the case of a make-whole fundamental change resulting from the calling of fewer than all of the convertible notes for redemption, the increased conversion rate, if any, will apply only to the convertible notes called for redemption.

The convertible notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), for cash at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after December 6, 2024 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time. However, we may not redeem fewer than all of the outstanding convertible notes unless at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time we send the related redemption notice. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the convertible notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If a “fundamental change” (which will be defined in the indenture governing the convertible notes to include certain change-of-control events and the delisting of our common stock) occurs, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require us to repurchase their convertible notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the convertible notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should consider carefully the risks discussed below, together with the risks under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as updated by our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See the section entitled “Forward-Looking Information.”

Risks Relating to the Offering

If you purchase shares of our common stock in this placement, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution.

Since the public offering price for our common stock in this placement is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this placement. See the section entitled “Dilution” for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase shares of our common stock in this placement.

Future sales of shares of our common stock may depress the price of our shares and be dilutive to our existing stockholders.

Future issuances of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares for resale in the open market may decrease the market price per share of our common stock. As of September 30, 2021, there were 46,207,566 shares of our common stock outstanding. Substantially all of these shares of common stock are eligible for trading in the public market. The market price of our common stock may decline if our stockholders sell a large number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the market perceives that such sales may occur.

As of September 30, 2021, we could also issue up to an additional 7,719,906 shares of our common stock upon exercise of outstanding options and restricted stock units and 7,033,401 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our stock incentive plans. In addition, we reserved 4,810,002 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of our 2025 convertible notes and 5,283,411 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. We have also reserved shares of common stock for issuance upon the conversion of the 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2026 to be issued in the Concurrent Offering. The exercise of any options, the issuance of our common stock upon conversion of the 2025 convertible notes, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or the 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2026, or in connection with acquisitions and other issuances of our common stock could have an adverse effect on the market price of the shares of our common stock.

To the extent that we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities will result in dilution to our stockholders, including the issuance of shares upon conversion of the notes being issued in the Concurrent Offering. Investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this placement. In addition, if the holders of our outstanding options exercise such securities, you may incur further dilution.

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, you must rely on stock appreciation for any return on your investment.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends will also depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital

S-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

requirements and other factors and will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Accordingly, you will have to rely on capital appreciation, if any, to earn a return on your investment in our common stock.

Repurchases of our 2025 convertible notes may affect the value of our common stock.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this placement and a portion of the net proceeds from the Concurrent Offering to repurchase a portion of our outstanding 2025 convertible notes. See “Use of Proceeds.” In addition, following the completion of this placement, we may repurchase, or engage in induced conversions of, additional 2025 convertible notes. Holders of our 2025 convertible notes that participate in any of these repurchases or induced conversions may purchase or sell shares of our common stock in the open market to unwind any hedge positions they may have with respect to our 2025 convertible notes or to hedge their exposure in connection with these transactions. These activities may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Risks Relating to the Concurrent Offering

The issuance of shares of our common stock upon conversion of the convertible notes will dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders and could depress the trading price of our common stock.

Upon conversion of the convertible notes being offered in the Concurrent Offering, we will satisfy part or all of our conversion obligation in shares of our common stock, unless we elect to settle conversions solely in cash. The issuance of shares of our common stock upon conversion of the convertible notes will dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders, which could depress the trading price of our common stock. In addition, the market’s expectation that conversions may occur could depress the trading price of our common stock even in the absence of actual conversions. Moreover, the expectation of conversions could encourage the short selling of our common stock, which could place further downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.

Hedging activity by investors in the convertible notes could depress the trading price of our common stock.

We expect that many investors in the convertible notes being offered in the Concurrent Offering, including potential purchasers of the convertible notes following the Concurrent Offering, will seek to employ a convertible note arbitrage strategy. Under this strategy, investors typically short sell a certain number of shares of our common stock and adjust their short position over time while they continue to hold the convertible notes. Investors may also implement this type of strategy by entering into swaps on our common stock in lieu of, or in addition to, short selling shares of our common stock. This market activity, or the market’s perception that it will occur, could depress the trading price of our common stock.

Provisions in the indenture governing the convertible notes could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of us.

Certain provisions in the convertible notes and the indenture governing the convertible notes could make a third party attempt to acquire us more difficult or expensive. For example, if a takeover constitutes a “fundamental change” (which will be defined in the indenture to include certain change-of-control events and the delisting of our common stock), then noteholders will have the right to require us to repurchase their convertible notes for cash. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a “make-whole fundamental change” (which will be defined in the indenture to include, among other events, fundamental changes and certain additional business combination transactions), then we may be required to temporarily increase the conversion rate for the convertible notes. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the convertible notes and the indenture could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management, including in a transaction that holders of our common stock may view as favorable.

We may be unable to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the convertible notes for cash following a fundamental change, or to pay any cash amounts due upon conversion, and our other indebtedness may limit our ability to repurchase the convertible notes or pay cash upon their conversion.

Noteholders may, subject to a limited exception, require us to repurchase their convertible notes following a “fundamental change” (which will be defined in the indenture governing the convertible notes to

S-12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

include certain change-of-control events and the delisting of our common stock) at a cash repurchase price generally equal to the principal amount of the convertible notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, upon conversion, we will satisfy part or all of our conversion obligation in cash unless we elect to settle conversions solely in shares of our common stock. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to repurchase the convertible notes or pay any cash amounts due upon conversion. In addition, applicable law, regulatory authorities and the agreements governing our other indebtedness may restrict our ability to repurchase the convertible notes or pay any cash amounts due upon conversion. Our failure to repurchase convertible notes or pay any cash amounts due upon conversion when required will constitute a default under the indenture governing the convertible notes. A default under the indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our other indebtedness, which may result in that other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy all amounts due under the other indebtedness and the convertible notes.

The indenture governing the convertible notes will not restrict us from incurring additional indebtedness, and the incurrence of the convertible notes and any additional indebtedness could limit the cash flow available for our operations, expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $119.6 million principal amount of consolidated indebtedness for borrowed money. We will incur $350.0 million (or, if the initial purchasers of the Concurrent Offering fully exercise their option to purchase additional convertible notes, $402.5 million) principal amount of additional indebtedness as a result of the Concurrent Offering. The indenture for the convertible notes will not contain any meaningful restrictive covenants and will not prohibit us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness in the future. Accordingly, we may incur a significant amount of additional indebtedness following the Concurrent Offering. The incurrence of indebtedness could have significant negative consequences for our stockholders and our business, results of operations and financial condition by, among other things:

•

increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;

•

limiting our ability to obtain additional financing;

•

requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, which will reduce the amount of cash available for other purposes;

•

limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business;

•

diluting the interests of our existing stockholders as a result of issuing shares of our common stock upon conversion of the convertible notes; and

•

placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than us or have better access to capital.

Our business may not generate sufficient funds, and we may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay amounts due under our indebtedness, and our cash needs may increase in the future. In addition, future indebtedness that we may incur may contain financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business, raise capital or make payments under our other indebtedness. If we fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in that and our other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.

In addition, although we intend to use the net proceeds from this placement and a portion of the net proceeds from the Concurrent Offering to repurchase a portion of our outstanding 2025 convertible notes, those repurchases will be subject to closing conditions and may not be consummated. Moreover, we may not repurchase our 2025 convertible notes in the amounts or on the terms described in this prospectus supplement. If the expected repurchases of our 2025 convertible notes are not consummated on the terms described in this prospectus supplement, then the amount of our debt outstanding after the completion of this placement may be significantly higher than anticipated, which would exacerbate the risks described above.

S-13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The accounting method for the convertible notes could adversely affect our reported financial condition and results.

The accounting method for reflecting the convertible notes on our balance sheet, accruing interest expense for the convertible notes and reflecting the underlying shares of our common stock in our reported diluted earnings per share may adversely affect our reported earnings and financial condition.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board published an Accounting Standards Update, which we refer to as ASU 2020-06, which simplifies certain of the accounting standards that apply to convertible notes. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for SEC-reporting entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 (or, in the case of smaller reporting companies, December 15, 2023), including interim periods within those fiscal years. However, early adoption is permitted in certain circumstances for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We have elected to early adopt ASU 2020-06, which became effective for us beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, including interim periods within that fiscal year.

In accordance with ASU 2020-06, we expect that the convertible notes we are offering pursuant to the Concurrent Offering will be reflected as a liability on our balance sheets, with the initial carrying amount equal to the principal amount of the convertible notes, net of issuance costs. The issuance costs will be treated as a debt discount for accounting purposes, which will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the convertible notes. As a result of this amortization, the interest expense that we expect to recognize for the convertible notes for accounting purposes will be greater than the cash interest payments we will pay on the convertible notes, which will result in lower reported income.

In addition, we expect that the shares underlying the convertible notes will be reflected in our diluted earnings per share using the “if converted” method, in accordance with ASU 2020-06. Under that method, diluted earnings per share would generally be calculated assuming that all the convertible notes were converted solely into shares of common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. The application of the if-converted method may reduce our reported diluted earnings per share, and accounting standards may change in the future in a manner that may adversely affect our diluted earnings per share.

Furthermore, the convertible notes will be convertible only during certain periods or if certain conditions are satisfied. If any of the conditions to the convertibility of the convertible notes is satisfied, then we may be required under applicable accounting standards to reclassify the liability carrying value of the convertible notes as a current, rather than a long-term, liability. This reclassification could be required even if no noteholders convert their convertible notes and could materially reduce our reported working capital.

We have not reached a final determination regarding the accounting treatment for the convertible notes, and the description above is preliminary. Accordingly, we may account for the convertible notes in manner that is significantly different than described above.

ASU 2020-06 applies to the 2025 convertible notes as well. The 2025 convertible notes outstanding after giving effect to the transactions described in this prospectus supplement will exacerbate the risks described above, in particular, if the described repurchases of the 2025 convertible notes are consummated.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from this placement of common stock will be approximately $248.6 million, after deducting our estimated offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from this placement and a portion of the net proceeds from the Concurrent Offering to repurchase approximately $100.7 million principal amount of the 2025 convertible notes in separate, privately negotiated repurchase transactions with a limited number of current holders of such existing 2025 convertible notes for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $351.1 million, which includes accrued and unpaid interest on the repurchased 2025 convertible notes. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds from the Concurrent Offering, if any, for general corporate purposes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DILUTION

If you invest in shares of our common stock in this placement, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this placement.

Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $295.6 million, or $6.40 per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, by the 46,207,566 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2021. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of common stock in this placement and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

After giving further effect to the issuance and sale of 3,072,038 shares in this placement at a registered direct offering price of $81.10 per share, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 would have been approximately $544.3 million, or $11.04 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $4.65 per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $70.06 per share to new investors participating in this placement. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

Registered direct offering price per share			$	81.10
Historical net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2021	$	6.40
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this placement	$	4.65
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after this placement			$	11.04
Dilution per share to new investors participating in this placement			$	70.06

The above discussion is based on 46,207,566 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and excludes:

•

up to 1,737,964 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the 2025 convertible notes outstanding as of September 30, 2021, after giving effect to the repurchases of the 2025 convertible notes with the proceeds of this placement and the Concurrent Offering as described above;

•

5,283,411 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued on October 1, 2020;

•

7,358,115 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2021 with a weighted average exercise price of $13.70 per share;

•

361,791 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the vesting of restricted stock units outstanding as of September 30, 2021;

•

7,033,401 shares of common stock available for future grant under the Cryoport, Inc. 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2018 Plan, as of September 30, 2021; and

•

up to 4,962,986 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2026 to be offered in the Concurrent Offering.

To the extent that outstanding convertible notes or shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are converted, outstanding options are exercised or outstanding restricted stock units vest, you will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to offer securities in other offerings due to market conditions or strategic considerations. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or securities exercisable or convertible into common stock, the issuance of such securities may result in further dilution of our stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are offering 3,072,038 shares of our common stock in a registered direct offering to purchasers pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus at a price of $81.10 per share. The shares of our common stock were offered directly to the purchasers. We currently anticipate that the closing of the sale of such shares of common stock will take place on or about November 12, 2021.

Jefferies LLC and SVB Leerink LLC have severally agreed to act as placement agents in connection with the offering described in this prospectus supplement subject to the terms and conditions of an engagement letter between us and the placement agents (which we refer to as the “Engagement Letter”). The placement agents are not purchasing or selling any of the shares of common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, nor are they required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of shares of common stock, but have agreed to use reasonable efforts to arrange for the sale of all of the shares of common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement. Therefore, we will enter into share purchase agreements (which we refer to as the “Share Purchase Agreements”) directly with investors in connection with the offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and will only sell to investors who have entered into a Share Purchase Agreement.

We currently anticipate that closing of this placement will take place on or about November 12, 2021.

Investors will also be informed of the date and manner in which they must transmit the purchase price for their shares of common stock purchased. Our obligation to issue and sell shares of common stock to the investors is subject to the conditions set forth in the Share Purchase Agreements, which may be waived by us at our discretion. An investor’s obligation to purchase common shares is subject to the conditions set forth in the Share Purchase Agreements as well, which may also be waived. There is no requirement that any minimum number or dollar amount of shares of common stock to be sold in this placement, and there can be no assurance that we will sell all or any of the shares of common stock being offered.

The placement agents will not receive any fee in connection with the services provided under the terms of the Engagement Letter.

We estimate the total expenses that will be payable by us in connection with the offering described in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, will be approximately $0.5 million, which include legal and accounting and printing costs.

We have agreed to indemnify the placement agent and specified other persons against liabilities relating to or arising out of the agent’s services under the Engagement Letter, to the fullest extent lawful, and contribute to payments that the placement agents may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

The Engagement Letter may be terminated by us with respect to any placement agent upon five days written notice, or by any placement agent, on behalf of itself, at any time. The termination of the Engagement Letter by us solely with respect to one placement agent, or the termination of the Engagement Letter by any placement agent will not impact the engagement of any other placement agent. In addition, the termination of the Engagement Letter with respect to one or both placement agents will have no impact on the obligations of the parties pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreements. Our obligation to issue and sell shares of common stock to the investors is subject to the conditions set forth in the Share Purchase Agreements.

This is a brief summary of the material provisions of the Engagement Letter and the Share Purchase Agreement that we entered into and does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and conditions of such agreements.

We intend to have the common stock offered hereby approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CYRX.”

The placement agents and certain of their respective affiliates are full-service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The placement agents and certain of their respective affiliates have, from time to

time, performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial and investment banking and financial advisory services for us and our affiliates, for which they received or may in the future receive customary fees and expenses. For example, the placement agents are acting as initial purchasers for the Concurrent Offering, and will receive customary compensation in connection therewith.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their various business activities, the placement agents and certain of their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments issued by us and our affiliates. If the placement agents or their respective affiliates have a lending relationship with us, they routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. The placement agents and their respective affiliates may hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities or the securities of our affiliates. The placement agents and certain of their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long or short positions in such securities and instruments.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following description of our capital stock is not complete and may not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our capital stock. This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our amended and restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, which have been publicly filed with the SEC, as well as the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes. See “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.”

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 2,500,000 shares of undesignated or “blank check” preferred stock, par value of $0.001, of which, 800,000 shares have been designated as Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, 585,000 shares have been designated as Class B Convertible Preferred Stock and 250,000 shares have been designated as Class C Convertible Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2020, there were 38,983,824 shares of common stock outstanding, no shares of Class A Preferred Stock outstanding, no shares of Class B Preferred Stock outstanding and no shares of Class C Preferred Stock outstanding.

Common Stock

Subject to the preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock, each holder of our 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. No dividends on our common stock have been declared or paid by us. We intend to employ all available funds for the development of our business and, accordingly, do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Holders of our 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 our 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. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive our assets pro rata, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debts and other liabilities and the preferential rights and payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding preferred stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

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 of directors 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.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

In October 2020, we filed a Certificate of Designation with the Nevada Secretary of State, establishing the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of our 4.0% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, which are described in more detail below.

Dividend Rights and Liquidation Preferences. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to our common stock, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the voluntary or involuntary

TABLE OF CONTENTS

liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of the Company, or a Liquidation. The holders are entitled to dividends on the original purchase price of $1,000 per share at the rate of 4.0% per annum, paid-in-kind, accruing daily and paid quarterly in arrears. The holders are also entitled to participate in dividends declared or paid on our common stock on an as-converted basis. Upon a Liquidation, each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and (ii) the amount that the holder of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock would have been entitled to receive at such time if the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into common stock, or the Liquidation Preference.

Conversion Features. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders at any time into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $38.6152 per share, subject to certain customary adjustments in the event of certain adjustments to our common stock.

After the second anniversary of October 1, 2020, or the Series C closing date, subject to certain conditions, we may at our option require conversion of all of the outstanding shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to common stock if, for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date we notify the holders of the election to convert, the closing price of our common stock is at least 150% of the conversion price.

Redemption Rights. We may redeem the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for cash, as follows:

•

within six months of the Series C closing date, up to 50,000 shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at a price equal to 125% of the purchase price paid by plus any accrued and unpaid dividends;

•

at any time beginning five years after the Series C closing date (but prior to six years after the Series C closing date), all of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at a price equal to 105% of the purchase price paid plus any accrued and unpaid dividends; or

•

at any time beginning six years after the Series C closing date, all of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at a price equal to 100% of the purchase price paid plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

Upon a “Fundamental Change” (involving a change of control or de-listing of the Company as further described in the Certificate of Designation), each holder shall have the right to require us to redeem all or any part of the holder’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

Voting and Consent Rights. Holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are generally entitled to vote with the holders of the shares of common stock on an as-converted basis, subject to certain Nasdaq voting limitations, if applicable. Additionally, the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will be required for so long as any shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding for (i) amendments to our organizational documents that have an adverse effect on the holders of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) issuances by us of securities that are senior to, or equal in priority with, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, including any shares of our Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, for so long as 75% of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued in connection with the purchase agreement between us and Blackstone Freeze Parent L.P. (f/k/a BTO Freeze Parent L.P.) remains outstanding, consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will be required for (i) any voluntary dissolution, liquidation, bankruptcy, winding up or deregistration or delisting and (ii) incurrence by us of any indebtedness unless our ratio of debt to LTM EBITDA (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) would be less than a ratio of 5-to-1 on a pro forma basis giving effect to such incurrence and the use of proceeds therefrom.

Series C Registration Rights Agreement

On October 1, 2020, we entered into a registration rights agreement, or the Series C Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the holders of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, shares

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of common stock issued upon conversion of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and shares of common stock issued in the private placement have certain customary registration rights with respect to such shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and such shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Series C Registration Rights Agreement, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or a subsequent registration statement to be continuously effective and usable for so long as any registrable securities remain outstanding.

The holders also have the right to request up to four underwritten offerings, so long as the anticipated gross proceeds of such underwritten offering is not less than $35 million (unless the holders are proposing to sell all of their remaining registrable securities, in which case no such minimum gross proceeds threshold shall apply), and the holders have the right to request unlimited non-underwritten shelf take-downs. The Series C Registration Rights Agreement also grants each holder customary “piggyback” registration rights. If we propose to register any shares of common stock (or to make an underwritten public offering pursuant to a previously filed registration statement), each holder will be entitled, subject to certain exceptions, to include its registrable securities in the registration (or such underwritten offering).

The Series C Registration Rights Agreement permits us to suspend use of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part for a certain period, or a Suspension Period, if the Board of Directors has determined in good faith that the disclosure necessary for continued use of the prospectus and registration statement by the holders could be materially detrimental to the Company. There will not be more than two Suspension Periods in any 12-month period and there shall be no more than 60 days of suspension within any 12-month period.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Nevada Law

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.

Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.411 to 78.444 prohibit certain business “combinations” between certain Nevada corporations and any person deemed to be an “interested stockholder” for two years after such person first becomes an “interested stockholder” unless (i) the corporation’s Board of Directors approves the combination (or the transaction by which such person becomes an “interested stockholder”) in advance, or (ii) the combination is approved by the Board of Directors and sixty percent of the corporation’s voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder, its affiliates and associates. Furthermore, in the absence of prior approval, certain restrictions may apply even after such two-year period. For purposes of these statutes, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (x) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (y) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term “combination” is sufficiently broad to cover most significant transactions between the corporation and an “interested stockholder”. Subject to certain timing requirements set forth in the statutes, a corporation may elect not to be governed by these statutes. We have not included any such provision in our articles of incorporation. The effect of these statutes may be to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of the Company from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our Board of Directors.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws Provisions

In addition, our articles of incorporation and our 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;

9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

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.

Debt securities may be our senior, senior subordinated or subordinated obligations and, unless otherwise specified in a supplement to this prospectus, the debt securities will be our direct, unsecured obligations and may be issued in one or more series.

We will provide you with information on the federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

securities is payable in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, we will provide you with information on the restrictions, elections, general tax considerations, specific terms and other information with respect to that issue of debt securities and such foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Transfer and Exchange

Each debt security will be represented by either one or more global securities registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, or the Depositary, or a nominee of the Depositary (we will refer to any debt security represented by a global debt security as a “book-entry debt security”), or a certificate issued in definitive registered form (we will refer to any debt security represented by a certificated security as a “certificated debt security”) as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as set forth under the heading “Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System” below, book-entry debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.

Certificated Debt Securities. You may transfer or exchange certificated debt securities at any office we maintain for this purpose in accordance with the terms of the indenture. (Section 2.4) No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange. (Section 2.7)

You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, premium and interest on certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.

Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System. Each global debt security representing book-entry debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. Please see “Global Securities.”

Covenants

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any restrictive covenants applicable to any issue of debt securities. (Article IV)

No Protection in the Event of a Change of Control

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

We may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to any person (a “successor person”) unless:

•

we are the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than Cryoport) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture; and

•

immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

Notwithstanding the above, any of our subsidiaries may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to us. (Section 5.1)

Events of Default

“Event of Default” means with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:

13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of the payment is deposited by us with the trustee or with a paying agent prior to the expiration of the 30-day period);

•

default in the payment of principal of any security of that series at its maturity;

•

default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by us in the indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than that series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice from the trustee or Cryoport and the trustee receive written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture;

•

certain voluntary or involuntary events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Cryoport; or

•

any other Event of Default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement. (Section 6.1)

No Event of Default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities. (Section 6.1) The occurrence of certain Events of Default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain indebtedness of ours or our subsidiaries outstanding from time to time.

We will provide the trustee written notice of any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof. (Section 6.1)

If an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal of (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. (Section 6.2) We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

The indenture provides that the trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in performing such duty or exercising such right or power. (Section 7.1(e)) Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series. (Section 6.12)

No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:

14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to debt securities of that series; and

•

the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered indemnity or security satisfactory to the trustee, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days. (Section 6.7)

Notwithstanding any other provision in the indenture, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment. (Section 6.8)

The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. (Section 4.3) If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the securities of any series and if it is known to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the securities of that series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a responsible officer of the trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any Default or Event of Default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if the trustee determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities. (Section 7.5)

Modification and Waiver

We and the trustee may modify, amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of any series without the consent of any holder of any debt security:

•

to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

•

to comply with covenants in the indenture described above under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”;

•

to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities;

•

to add guarantees with respect to debt securities of any series or secure debt securities of any series;

•

to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. (Section 9.1)

We may also modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modifications or amendments. We may not make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:

•

reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;

•

reduce the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation with respect to any series of debt securities;

•

reduce the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;

•

waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

•

make the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security;

•

make any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest on those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and to waivers or amendments; or

•

waive a redemption payment with respect to any debt security. (Section 9.3)

Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. (Section 9.2) The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration. (Section 6.13)

Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances

Legal Defeasance. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (subject to certain exceptions). We will be so discharged upon the irrevocable deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money or U.S. government obligations in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.

This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred. (Section 8.3)

Defeasance of Certain Covenants. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:

16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

we may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and

•

any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of that series (“covenant defeasance”).

The conditions include:

•

depositing with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities; and

•

delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred. (Section 8.4)

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees or Securityholders

None of our past, present or future directors, officers, employees or securityholders, as such, will have any liability for any of our obligations under the debt securities or the indenture or for any claim based on, or in respect or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a debt security, each holder waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release is part of the consideration for the issue of the debt securities. However, this waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

Governing Law

The indenture and the debt securities, including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the indenture or the securities, will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

The indenture will provide that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture, the debt securities or the transactions contemplated thereby.

The indenture will provide that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon the indenture or the transactions contemplated thereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City of New York, and we, the trustee and the holder of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The indenture will further provide that service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s address set forth in the indenture will be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The indenture will further provide that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the courts specified above and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. (Section 10.10)

GLOBAL SECURITIES

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

Unless we indicate differently in any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, the securities initially will be issued in book-entry form and represented by one or more global notes or global securities, or, collectively, global securities. The global securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, as depositary, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC. Unless and until it is exchanged for individual certificates evidencing securities under the limited circumstances described below, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to its nominee or by the nominee to the depositary, or by the depositary or its nominee to a successor depositary or to a nominee of the successor depositary.

DTC has advised us that it is:

•

a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law;

•

a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law;

•

a member of the Federal Reserve System;

•

a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and

•

a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among its participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. “Direct participants” in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.

Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner, is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants’ records. Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

So long as the securities are in book-entry form, you will receive payments and may transfer securities only through the facilities of the depositary and its direct and indirect participants. We will maintain an office or agency in the location specified in the prospectus supplement for the applicable securities, where notices and demands in respect of the securities and the indenture may be delivered to us and where certificated securities may be surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange.

19

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any legal requirements in effect from time to time.

Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the securities of such series to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (or such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns the consenting or voting rights of Cede & Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities of such series are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.

So long as securities are in book-entry form, we will make payments on those securities to the depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of such securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If securities are issued in definitive certificated form under the limited circumstances described below and unless if otherwise provided in the description of the applicable securities herein or in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will have the option of making payments by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled to payment or by wire transfer to bank accounts in the United States designated in writing to the applicable trustee or other designated party at least 15 days before the applicable payment date by the persons entitled to payment, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the applicable trustee or other designated party.

Redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments on the securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name.” Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.

Except under the limited circumstances described below, purchasers of securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names and will not receive physical delivery of securities. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise any rights under the securities and the indenture.

The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Those laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in securities.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depositary with respect to the securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained, securities certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

As noted above, beneficial owners of a particular series of securities generally will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in those securities. However, if:

•

DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the global security or securities representing such series of securities or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when it is required to be registered and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days of the notification to us or of our becoming aware of DTC’s ceasing to be so registered, as the case may be;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

we determine, in our sole discretion, not to have such securities represented by one or more global securities; or

•

an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series of securities,

we will prepare and deliver certificates for such securities in exchange for beneficial interests in the global securities. Any beneficial interest in a global security that is exchangeable under the circumstances described in the preceding sentence will be exchangeable for securities in definitive certificated form registered in the names that the depositary directs. It is expected that these directions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from its participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the global securities.

Euroclear and Clearstream

If so provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, you may hold interests in a global security through Clearstream Banking S.A., which we refer to as “Clearstream,” or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System, which we refer to as “Euroclear,” either directly if you are a participant in Clearstream or Euroclear or indirectly through organizations which are participants in Clearstream or Euroclear. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their respective participants through customers’ securities accounts in the names of Clearstream and Euroclear, respectively, on the books of their respective U.S. depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in customers’ securities accounts in such depositaries’ names on DTC’s books.

Clearstream and Euroclear are securities clearance systems in Europe. Clearstream and Euroclear hold securities for their respective participating organizations and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between those participants through electronic book-entry changes in their accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates.

Payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other matters relating to beneficial interests in global securities owned through Euroclear or Clearstream must comply with the rules and procedures of those systems. Transactions between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on one hand, and other participants in DTC, on the other hand, are also subject to DTC’s rules and procedures.

Investors will be able to make and receive through Euroclear and Clearstream payments, deliveries, transfers and other transactions involving any beneficial interests in global securities held through those systems only on days when those systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States.

Cross-market transfers between participants in DTC, on the one hand, and participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with the DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by their respective U.S. depositaries; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (European time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the global securities through DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day fund settlement. Participants in Euroclear or Clearstream may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. depositaries.

Due to time zone differences, the securities accounts of a participant in Euroclear or Clearstream purchasing an interest in a global security from a direct participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant participant in Euroclear or Clearstream, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear or Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a global security by or through a participant in Euroclear or Clearstream to a direct participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.
