Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

On February 2, 2016, the Issuer entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Boyalife HK and Boyalife Investment, Inc. (“Boyalife Investment”, and together with Boyalife HK, the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue to issue to the Investors, in two closings, Shares, senior secured three-year convertible debentures, and a five-year warrant to purchase additional Shares, as further described below. The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are referred to as the “Boyalife Financing” for purposes hereof.

In the Boyalife Financing, which closed in two tranches on February 13 and February 16, 2016, (i) Boyalife HK purchased 73,529 Shares, for a purchase price of $34.00 per share (after giving effect to the Issuer’s 1-for-20 reverse stock split on March 4, 2016 and 1-for-10 reverse stock split on June 4, 2019), (ii) Boyalife Investment purchased Secured Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $12.5 million initially convertible into 367,647 Shares (the “Debentures”), and (iii) Boyalife HK acquired a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 352,942 additional Shares at an exercise price of $80.00 per share (as adjusted to give effect to the March 2016 and June 2019 reverse stock splits) for a period of five years (the “Warrant”).

In connection with the Boyalife Financing, the Issuer also entered into a Nomination and Voting Agreement with the Investors (the “Nomination Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Nomination Agreement, for so long as the Debentures remained outstanding and Boyalife HK owned of record or beneficially at least twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, Boyalife HK had the right to designate one member to the Issuer’s Board of Directors. The Nomination Agreement further provided that, if upon and following the conversion of all of the principal and interest outstanding under the Debentures the Investors owned, in the aggregate, at least 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, the Investors would have the right to designate up to a maximum of three members to the Issuer’s Board of Directors. The Nomination Agreement was amended and restated on April 16, 2018, as described below.

On August 22, 2016, the Issuer elected to convert all outstanding principal, together and interest accrued and otherwise payable (including the interest that would have accrued up to and including maturity under the Debentures) into an aggregate of 610,294 Shares.

On December 26, 2016, Boyalife Investment sold and transferred all 610,294 Shares held by it to Boyalife HK for a price per share equal to $25.20, resulting in Boyalife HK holding an aggregate of 683,824 Shares.

On March 6, 2017, the Issuer entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Boyalife Investment Fund II, Inc., which granted to the Issuer the right to borrow up to $5.0 million any time prior to March 6, 2022 (the “Debt Facility”). On September 13, 2017, the Issuer and Boyalife Investment Fund II, Inc. entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement increasing the maximum borrowing availability thereunder from $5.0 million to $10.0 million. The Debt Facility originally matured on March 6, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest accrues under the Debt Facility at a rate of 22% per annum, simple interest, with interest being payable annually.

On April 16, 2018, the Issuer entered into an amendment to the Debt Facility with Boyalife Asset Holding II, the successor by merger to Boyalife Investment Fund II, Inc. (“Lender”). In connection with the April 2018 amendment to the Debt Facility, the Issuer and Lender entered into a First Amended and Revolving Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) and a Second Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note (the “Amended Note”). The Amended Credit Agreement and Amended Note modified and amended the Debt Facility as follows:

In connection with Amended Credit Agreement, on April 16, 2018, the Issuer and Boyalife HK entered into a First Amended and Restated Nomination and Voting Agreement (the “Amended Nomination Agreement”), which amends and restates the above-described Nomination Agreement originally entered into on February 13, 2016. The Amended Nomination Agreement provides that Boyalife HK will have the right to designate a number of members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer that is in proportion to the “Boyalife Ownership Percentage”, which is Boyalife HK’s and its affiliates’ combined percentage ownership of outstanding common stock, treating as outstanding any shares of common stock underlying convertible securities that are immediately exercisable by Boyalife HK and its affiliates’ (including under the Amended Note) without any further payment. The Amended Nomination Agreement will terminate according to its terms when and if the Boyalife Ownership Percentage falls below 20%.

On May 7, 2018, the Issuer and Boyalife Asset Holding II entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Amended Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Issuer granted to Boyalife Asset Holding II a security interest in shares held by the Issuer of ThermoGenesis Corp., a subsidiary of the Issuer, to secure repayment of the Amended Note.

On December 26, 2019, Boyalife Hong Kong sold to Boyalife Asset Holding II an aggregate of 683,824 Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $2,227,134 (or $3.33 per share) and warrants to purchase 352,942 shares of issuer common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $10.00. Accordingly, the transaction resulted in merely a change in the form of beneficial ownership of the subject Shares. The warrants expired on February 16, 2021.

On December 20, 2019, Boyalife Asset Holding II sold to a third party in a private transaction a participation interest in the Amended Note. Boyalife Asset Holding II sold to the third party a participation interest in the Convertible Note equal to $1,080,000 in face value of the Amended Note plus interest accruing thereon after December 20, 2019. Boyalife Asset Holding II retains sole voting and dispositive power over the Amended Note and is therefore deemed to own all Shares issuable upon any conversion of the Amended Note.

On March 4, 2022, the Issuer and Boyalife Asset Holding II entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Amended Note, together with an Amendment No. 2 to the Amended Credit Agreement, to amend the maturity date thereunder to March 6, 2023 and to provide for payment on March 6, 2023 of accrued but unpaid interest through March 6, 2023 and to provide for payment of accrued interest thereafter on December 31 of each year.
