ITEM 5.03    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
 
On February 3, 2010,  CryoPort, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (“Certificate of Amendment”) in order to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company common stock effective as of the opening of trading of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on Friday, February 5, 2010.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock will be combined into 1 share of common stock. The reverse stock split will not change the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. If, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder would otherwise hold a fractional share, the Company will receive cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled by (b) the per share closing sales price of the Company’s common stock on the day immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse split, as adjusted for the reverse stock split.

Following the reverse stock split, the Company expects to have approximately 5.05 million shares of common stock outstanding. The reverse stock split will affect all shares of the Company's common stock, including common stock underlying stock options and warrants that are outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split.

Additional information about the reverse stock split is available in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 11,  2009.

The Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.4.3 and is incorporated by reference herein. The press release announcing the reverse stock split is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
