CRYO CELL INTERNATIONAL INC

Previous wording

Our common stock currently trades on the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”), and we are subject to certain NYSE American continued listing requirements and standards. On March 9, 2026, we received notice from NYSE American that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide. In accordance with NYSE American procedures, the Company submitted a plan of compliance to NYSE American on April 8, 2026, addressing how it intends to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. If the plan is accepted, NYSE American may grant the Company an extension of time to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Section 1003 a) of the NYSE American Company Guide or that the Company will otherwise be in compliance with other applicable NYSE American listing rules. We may need to raise additional capital to regain compliance, of which there can be no assurance. We may also incur costs that we have not previously incurred for expenses for compliance with the rules and requirements of the NYSE American. If the Company fails to satisfy NYSE American’s continued listing requirements, NYSE American may take steps to delist its Common Stock. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to continue to satisfy the requirements of the NYSE American’s continued listing standards. Delisting of the common stock could depress the price of our stock, substantially limit liquidity of our common stock and materially adversely affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our common stock, and there would likely also be a reduction in our coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline further.
