RE:
Stockholder’s Notice for Nomination of Persons for Election as
Directors of Cryo-Cell International, Inc.                                        
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
David I. Portnoy (the “Record Holder”), whose address is 88 Camden Drive, Bal Harbour, Florida 33154, hereby submits this notice (this “Notice”) on the date hereof pursuant to the requirements (the “Bylaw Requirements”) set forth in Article II, Section 10 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Cryo-Cell International, Inc. (the “Company”), which were attached as Exhibit 3.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on March 10, 2008 (the “Bylaws”), for the nomination of the 2011 Slate (as defined below) for election as directors of the Company at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “2011 Annual Meeting”).
 
As of the date of this Notice, the Record Holder represents that he is the record owner of 100 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company and that he is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The Record Holder may be deemed the beneficial owner of 660,251 shares of Common Stock in addition to the 100 shares held of record by him. Specifically, as chairman of the board of directors and secretary of PartnerCommunity, Inc. (“PartnerCommunity”), a shareholder of record of the Common Stock, the Record Holder may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of such shares held by PartnerCommunity. Additionally, the Record Holder, as managing member of Mayim Management, LLC (“Mayim”), which may exercise investment and voting discretion over PartnerCommunity’s shares of the Common Stock under the Investment Advisory Agreement (as defined below), pursuant to the information provided in Annex A, may be deemed to beneficially own shares of Common Stock held of record by Mayim.  Finally, the record Holder may be deemed the beneficial owner of additional shares of the Common Stock as set forth in Attachment 1 of Annex A.

The Record Holder hereby represents that he intends to appear in person or by proxy at the 2011 Annual Meeting to nominate for election as directors of the Company the following persons (each, a “Nominee” and collectively, the “2011 Slate”):
 
David I. Portnoy
Mark L. Portnoy
Jonathan H. Wheeler, M.D.
Harold D. Berger
George Gaines

The Record Holder hereby further represents, pursuant to Article II, Section 10(c)(vii) of the Bylaws, that he intends to solicit proxies in support of his nomination of the 2011 Slate by directly or indirectly delivering a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of shares of the Company’s Common Stock required to elect the 2011 Slate (a Nomination Solicitation Notice).
 
As of the date hereof, based on information contained in the Bylaws, the Company’s website and the Company’s Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”), the current Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) consists of seven directors and pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as executed on July 10, 2000, filed by the Company with the SEC on July 19, 2002 as Exhibit 3.1 to the Company’s Form 10-QSB and the Bylaws, the number of directors shall consist of such number as from time to time shall be fixed by the Board. Based on the size of the Board during 2010, the Record Holder is assuming that seven directors are to be elected at the 2011 Annual Meeting. If, for any reason, more than seven directors are to be elected at the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Record Holder reserves the right to nominate additional persons to be so elected (each, an “Additional Nominee”) such that the total number of Additional Nominee is equal to the total number of directors in excess of seven to be elected at the 2011 Annual Meeting.
 
Additionally, if, for any reason, any Nominee or Additional Nominee is unable to stand for election at the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Record Holder intends to nominate a person in the place of such Nominee or Additional Nominee (a “Substitute”). Finally, if fewer than five directors are to be elected at the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Record Holder will designate which of the Nominees will be placed in nomination. In any of those events, the Record Holder at the earliest practicable time will give notice to the Company of any Additional Nominee, the Substitute or the Nominees who will be placed in nomination.
 
Pursuant to the Bylaw Requirements: (i) certain information relating to the Record Holder is set forth in the body of this Notice and Annex A; (ii) certain information relating to each Nominee is set forth in the body of this Notice and Annex A; and (iii) the written consent of each Nominee being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a director of the Company, if elected, is attached as Annex B.
