CryoLife’s goal is to maximize the potential of Medafor’s assets, particularly HemoStase® and the product’s underlying technology, in order to deliver greater value for Medafor and CryoLife shareholders.
 
In pursuit of this goal, CryoLife has acquired approximately 11 percent of Medafor common stock, based on the most recent information available, from Medafor shareholders, including its founders, and is seeking to acquire full control of the company.
 
CryoLife has presented a compelling proposal to Medafor’s board of directors to purchase the remaining outstanding stock of Medafor for $2.00 per share in cash and CryoLife stock, and has requested that Medafor’s board enter into discussions with CryoLife about this proposal.
 
CryoLife has made numerous past attempts to engage with Medafor’s management and board about a potential value-creating acquisition of the company by CryoLife. To date, Medafor has summarily rejected all of these overtures and refused to negotiate with us. By providing our fellow Medafor shareholders with complete and timely information about our latest proposal, CryoLife hopes to encourage Medafor’s management and board to join CryoLife in negotiations.
 
To ensure proper consideration of its proposal, CryoLife has created this Web site and is encouraging Medafor shareholders to contact the Medafor board of directors to express their opinions regarding this proposal.
 
CryoLife encourages Medafor shareholders to review the materials on this Web site thoroughly and plans to post updated information as it becomes available.
