On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into a $11.2 million purchase contract with Scannell Properties #502, LLC (“Scannell”) for a 56,000 square foot facility under construction located near the Research Triangle Park in the Regional Commerce Center in Durham, North Carolina (the “New Facility”). Scannell is constructing certain improvements upon the land, including but not limited to an approximately 56,000 square foot building to be utilized by Cryo-Cell. Pursuant to the Agreement, on March 16, 2022, the Company transferred an initial earnest deposit of $200,000. The Company intends to fund the purchase price with cash on hand, cash flow from operations and with future additional financing. Construction is expected to be completed by the time the Company acquires the New Facility in approximately 90 days. The consummation of the purchase is subject to the Company’s completion of due diligence and various closing conditions to be met by the parties. Although the Company believes that the acquisition is probable, there can be no assurance that the acquisition of this property will be consummated. If the New Facility is purchased, the Company believes it will have space for not only its existing and future internal storage needs, but also will have the capacity to offer third party pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions cold storage services (“ExtraVault” – see www.extravault.com), to set up a cellular therapy laboratory to manufacture mesenchymal stromal cells from cord tissue (“MSCs) and possibly the space to consolidate the Cryo-Cell Institute for Cellular Therapies under the same roof in the future.

 

The Company anticipates this New Facility will expand the Company’s cryopreservation and cold storage business by introducing a new service, ExtraVault (www.extravault.com). With over 30 years of experience in handling biological specimens for both research and clinical use, Cryo-Cell intends to leverage this expertise and offer these biorepository services to biopharmaceutical companies and healthcare institutions. The new facility is being constructed to offer state-of-the-art biologic, reagent and vaccine storage at cost effective prices. A robust inventory management system is planned to be implemented that Cryo-Cell believes will allow customers to view their own inventory through a customer portal and place distribution orders online. As a result, it is anticipated ExtraVault will provide expertise, experience, customer electronic access and cost sensitive solutions to the Company’s partners in the biopharma and healthcare industries.

 

On April 4, 2022, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a public offering of its common stock. The proposed maximum aggregate offering is $20,000,000 (exclusive of the underwriter's overallotment option). The Form S-1 has not yet been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company can provide no assurance that it will consummate an offering under the Form S-1. The foregoing does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.

 

On April 8, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) to provide incentive compensation to the Company’s employees, independent directors and independent contractors. The plan is subject to stockholder approval, which vote is expected to occur at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting. The 2022 Plan will reserve 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to stock options, restricted stock, SARs, and other stock awards (i.e. performance shares and performance units).
