On May 20, 2016, Cryo-Cell International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (“Agreement”) with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (“TCB”) for a term loan of $8,000,000 in senior credit facilities. The proceeds of the term loan will be used by the Company to fund continued repurchases of the Company’s common stock. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, on May 20, 2016, TCB advanced the Company $100.00. TCB will advance the remaining principal amount of $7,999,900.00 per a promissory note dated May 20, 2016 between the Company and TCB, at such time as the Company requests, at a rate of 3.75% per annum plus LIBOR, payable monthly with a maturity date of July 2021.
