To Our Fellow Cryo-Cell International, Inc. Stockholders:

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying BLUE proxy card are being furnished to stockholders (“Stockholders”) of Cryo-Cell International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cryo-Cell” or the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Participants (as defined below), to be used at Cryo-Cell’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders and at any adjournments, postponements or continuations thereof (the “Annual Meeting”), which is scheduled to be held at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time on Thursday, August 25, 2011, at the Courtyard by Marriott, 4014 Tampa Road, Oldsmar, Florida 34677. This Proxy Statement and the BLUE proxy card are first being furnished to Stockholders on or about July 29, 2011.

The mailing address of Cryo-Cell’s principal executive offices is 700 Brooker Creek Boulevard, Suite 1800, Oldsmar, Florida, 34677.

The Participants include five nominees to Cryo-Cell’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), comprised of David I. Portnoy, Mark L. Portnoy, Jonathan H. Wheeler, M.D., George Gaines and Harold D. Berger (each a “Nominee” and, collectively, the “Nominees” or the “Slate”), and PartnerCommunity, Inc., uTIPu Inc., Mayim Investment Limited Partnership, Jamie H. Zidell, Deborah Portnoy, Lynne Portnoy, Gilbert Portnoy, Capital Asset Fund #1 Limited Partnership and Charles W. Northcutt, Jr. (collectively, the “Participants”). Each Nominee has consented to be named as a nominee in this proxy statement and, if elected, to serve as a director of Cryo-Cell.

We are soliciting your proxy to vote your shares only for the five Nominees named in this proxy statement. Pursuant to applicable federal securities rules, we are not permitted to solicit your proxy, nor will we vote your shares, in favor of any additional individuals other than our five Nominees. According to Cryo-Cell’s definitive proxy statement dated July 25, 2011 (the “Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement”), at the Annual Meeting, six directors of the Company will be elected. Accordingly, by completing and executing the enclosed proxy card, you will be choosing to vote for only five nominees rather than six, which will result in limiting your ability to fully exercise your voting rights to vote for a full complement of directors. Whether each Nominee is elected or if each Nominee is not elected, the Participants believe that each Nominee elected will serve with the nominees of Cryo-Cell that are elected. In such scenario, however, there is no assurance that all of Cryo-Cell’s nominees that are elected will serve with each Nominee that is elected. Instead, all or some of Cryo-Cell’s nominees may choose to resign, in which case such nominees of Cryo-Cell who are elected and choose not to resign, together with each Nominee that is elected, will constitute all of the members of the Board. Pursuant to Cryo-Cell’s bylaws, any vacancy created by any such resignation will automatically decrease the number of directors accordingly, so that such vacancy no longer exists. In such a scenario, the Participants have no current plans to appoint an additional member to the Board.

The Participants are members of a Group (the “13D Group”), pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder, that filed the ninth amendment to Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act relating to Cryo-Cell (the “Ninth Filing Amendment”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 28, 2011.

The original Schedule 13D filing was filed with the SEC on January 25, 2005 (the “Filing”). The first amendment to the Filing was filed with the SEC on February 2, 2006 (the “First Filing Amendment”). The second amendment to the Filing was filed with the SEC on June 26, 2006 (the “Second Filing Amendment”). The third amendment to the Filing was filed with the SEC on February 1, 2007 (the “Third Filing Amendment”). The fourth amendment to the Filing was filed with the SEC on March 26, 2007 (the “Fourth Filing Amendment”). The fifth amendment to the filing was filed with the SEC on July 10, 2007 (the “Fifth Filing Amendment”). The sixth amendment to the filing was filed with the SEC on November 26, 2007 (the “Sixth Filing Amendment”). The seventh amendment to the filing was filed with the SEC on May 10, 2011 (the “Seventh Filing Amendment). The eighth amendment to the filing was filed with the SEC on June 3, 2011 (the “Eighth Filing Amendment”, and collectively with the Filing, the First Filing Amendment, the Second Filing Amendment, the Third Filing Amendment, the Fourth Filing Amendment, the Fifth Filing Amendment, the Sixth Filing Amendment, the Seventh Filing Amendment and the Ninth Filing Amendment, the “13D Filings”).

At the Annual Meeting, the Participants will seek the election to the Board of the Slate comprised of David I. Portnoy, Mark L. Portnoy, Jonathan H. Wheeler, M.D., George Gaines and Harold D. Berger.

2

WE URGE YOU TO VOTE THE BLUE PROXY CARD FOR THE ELECTION AS DIRECTORS OF DAVID I. PORTNOY, MARK L. PORTNOY, JONATHAN H. WHEELER, M.D., HAROLD D. BERGER AND GEORGE GAINES.

If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, bank nominee or other institution on the record date, only they can vote such shares and only upon receipt of your specific instructions. Accordingly, please contact the person responsible for your account and instruct that person to execute the enclosed BLUE proxy card on your behalf as soon as possible.

Election of Directors

Pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement and Article II, Section 9 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Cryo-Cell attached as Exhibit 3.1 to the Form 8-K filed by Cryo-Cell with the SEC on March 10, 2008 (the “Bylaws”), the election of directors to the Board requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by Stockholders present in person or represented by proxy, assuming a quorum is present or otherwise represented, at the Annual Meeting. Plurality means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the Annual Meeting. Consequently, any shares not voted usually have no impact in the election of directors. As a result, your vote is extremely important in deciding the future of Cryo-Cell.

WE URGE YOU TO MARK, SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION AS DIRECTORS OF DAVID I. PORTNOY, MARK L. PORTNOY, JONATHAN H. WHEELER, M.D., GEORGE GAINES AND HAROLD D. BERGER.

Important

The Participants strongly recommend that you DO NOT sign or return any proxy card that may be sent to you by Cryo-Cell, as by doing so you may inadvertently nullify your vote for the Nominees.

You may notice that the Participants’ proxy card provides you with the opportunity to vote for only five nominees, while Cryo-Cell’s proxy card allows you to vote for six nominees. However, if you vote for even one nominee on Cryo-Cell’s card, or if you withhold your vote for any of Cryo-Cell’s nominees after voting for the Participants’ Nominees, any of these actions will nullify all the votes that you had made for the Participants’ Nominees.

Withholding your vote for Cryo-Cell’s nominees on the white proxy card is not the same as voting for the Participants’ Nominees, because a withheld vote on Cryo-Cell’s white proxy card will revoke any previous proxy submitted by you. If you have previously submitted another proxy card sent to you by Cryo-Cell, we urge you to revoke that proxy by voting in favor of the Participants’ Nominees by delivering the enclosed BLUE proxy card dated later in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope, by using the internet or telephone voting options explained on the enclosed BLUE proxy card or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting, or by delivering to the corporate secretary of Cryo-Cell a written notice, bearing a later date than the date of the white proxy card, stating that the white proxy card is revoked. Only the latest validly executed proxy that you submit will be counted. See “voting procedures” and “proxy procedures” below.

Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 27, 2011 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of, and to attend and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. According to Cryo-Cell’s Proxy, as of the Record Date, there were outstanding 11,756,325 shares of Cryo-Cell’s Common Stock (the “Shares”).

Stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting for each Share held on the Record Date. If the outstanding Shares on the Record Date are 11,756,325, and if all outstanding Shares vote, the aggregate number of possible votes for any individual candidate is 11,756,325.

PLEASE VOTE FOR THE ELECTION AS DIRECTORS OF DAVID I. PORTNOY, MARK L. PORTNOY, JONATHAN H. WHEELER, M.D., GEORGE GAINES AND HAROLD D. BERGER.

Background

David I. Portnoy was first introduced to Cryo-Cell in approximately April 2004. Mr. Portnoy began to study the cord blood storage industry in general and Cryo-Cell in particular. In September 2004, Mr. Portnoy visited Cryo-Cell and spoke with Mercedes Walton, the current Chief Executive Officer of Cryo-Cell, to learn more about Cryo-Cell.

During 2005 and 2006 Mr. Portnoy made repeated efforts to meet with Ms. Walton and/or the Board at Cryo-Cell’s headquarters to discuss what he perceived as Cryo-Cell’s poor operations and corporate governance, the latter of which included Mr. Portnoy’s perception of Cryo-Cell’s consistent practice of approving excessive management compensation, including the granting of a disproportionate number of stock options to management despite its failure to achieve explicitly stated prior objectives.

Mr. Portnoy believed that his efforts were to no avail, and in 2007 Mr. Portnoy conducted a proxy contest to elect a slate of five directors to the Board of Cryo-Cell at Cryo-Cell’s 2007 annual meeting of stockholder (the “2007 annual meeting”).

4

The 2007 annual meeting was held on July 16, 2007, and following this meeting, due to Mr. Portnoy’s belief that Cryo-Cell’s management and Board had acted inequitably during the 2007 annual meeting, Mr. Portnoy filed a lawsuit against Cryo-Cell and its directors in the Delaware Chancery Court in New Castle County, Delaware (the “Delaware Court”). In this lawsuit, Mr. Portnoy alleged breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with the 2007 annual meeting and requested declaratory and injunctive relief related to the election of directors at the 2007 annual meeting, including a declaration that Mr. Portnoy’s 2007 slate was entitled to be installed as members of Cryo-Cell’s board of directors.

Trial commenced on November 14, 2007. The Delaware Court published its opinion, which we encourage all Stockholders to read, and can be found at Portnoy v. Cryo-Cell International, Inc. , 940 A.2d 43 (Del. Ch. 2008) (the “2007 Lawsuit”).

In the written opinion of the Delaware Court for the 2007 Lawsuit, the Delaware Court found that Cryo-Cell’s serious breaches of fiduciary duty tainted the election which occurred at the 2007 annual meeting. As a result of its finding that management and the directors had breached their fiduciary duties to Cryo-Cell’s stockholders, the Delaware Court required that Cryo-Cell hold another special election to be overseen by a court-appointed special master. Furthermore, to ensure that Cryo-Cell’s stockholders were not injured by the requirement for this extra meeting, the Delaware Court ordered that Cryo-Cell’s management slate bear the costs of their own proxy solicitation efforts, the costs to Cryo-Cell of holding the extra meeting, and the costs of a special master to conduct the meeting.

By the time the decision in the 2007 Lawsuit was rendered on January 15, 2008, Mr. Portnoy had spent so much money, and Mr. Portnoy believed that Cryo-Cell had locked up so many votes, that Mr. Portnoy made the decision that further proxy efforts were, at that time, impracticable. Accordingly, Mr. Portnoy did not solicit proxies in connection with the court-ordered special election which occurred on March 4, 2008, and management’s slate was elected.

The Board’s behavior at the 2007 annual meeting did not sour Mr. Portnoy’s belief in the untapped potential for Cryo-Cell, and since 2008, Mr. Portnoy has continued his focus on the cord blood storage industry in general and Cryo-Cell in particular.

On May 9, 2011, Mr. Portnoy notified Cryo-Cell that he intended to nominate the Slate for election as directors at the Annual Meeting. After receipt of this notice, Cryo-Cell offered Mr. Portnoy a board seat in exchange for his agreeing to withdraw his nominations. Mr. Portnoy did not accept Cryo-Cell’s offer.

The Participants

As of the Record Date, the Participants beneficially owned an aggregate of 1,899,819 Shares. Based upon 11,756,325 Shares outstanding as of the Record Date, as reported in Cryo-Cell’s Proxy Statement, this represents beneficial ownership of approximately 16.2% of the Shares outstanding. The Participants intend to vote all of such Shares FOR the election of the Slate. To the extent that the Participants are deemed to be a group pursuant to Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as of the Record Date, these persons, in the aggregate, may be deemed the beneficial owners of 1,899,819 shares of the Common Stock. Based upon 11,756,325 Shares outstanding as of the Record Date, as reported in the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement, this represents beneficial ownership of approximately 16.2% of the shares of the Common Stock outstanding.

Other than as disclosed in this Proxy Statement or in any of the Appendices attached hereto: (i) none of the Participants is, or was within the past year, a party to any contract, arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any securities of Cryo-Cell, including, but not limited to, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees against loss or guarantees of profit, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies; (ii) none of the Participants owns any securities of Cryo-Cell of record but not beneficially; (iii) none of the Participants owns beneficially any securities of Cryo-Cell or of any parent or subsidiary of Cryo-Cell; (iv) none of the associates of the Participants beneficially own any securities of Cryo-Cell; (v) none of the Participants borrowed any funds for the purpose of acquiring or holding any securities of Cryo-Cell; (vi) none of the Participants or their associates have engaged in or had a direct or indirect interest in any transaction, or series of similar transactions, since the beginning of Cryo-Cell’s last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, or series of similar transactions, to which Cryo-Cell or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000; (vii) none of the Participants or their associates have any arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to (A) any future employment by Cryo-Cell or its affiliates or (B) any future transactions to which Cryo-Cell or any of its affiliates will or may be a party; and (viii) none of the Participants or their associates have any material interest in the election of the Slate.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

As of the date hereof, based on information contained in the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement, the current authorized number of directors of the Company is seven, and effective at the Annual Meeting, will be reduced to six members.

The Participants propose that the stockholders elect David I. Portnoy, Mark L. Portnoy, Jonathan H. Wheeler, M.D., George Gaines and Harold D. Berger as directors of Cryo-Cell at the Annual Meeting. We are soliciting your proxy to vote your shares only for these five Nominees. Pursuant to applicable federal securities rules, we are not permitted to solicit your proxy, nor will we vote your shares, in favor of any additional individuals other than our five Nominees. Accordingly, by completing and executing the enclosed proxy card, you will be choosing to vote for only five nominees rather than six, which will result in limiting your ability to fully exercise your voting rights to vote for a full complement of directors. Each Nominee, if elected, would hold office until Cryo-Cell’s 2012 annual meeting of stockholders and until a successor has been duly elected and qualified, or as otherwise provided by the Bylaws or by Delaware law. Whether each Nominee is elected or if each Nominee is not elected, the Participants believe that each Nominee elected will serve with the nominees of Cryo-Cell that are elected. In such scenario, however, there is no assurance that all of Cryo-Cell’s nominees that are elected will serve with each Nominee that is elected. Instead, all or some of Cryo-Cell’s nominees may choose to resign, in which case such nominees of Cryo-Cell who are elected and choose not to resign, together with each Nominee that is elected, will constitute all of the members of the Board. Pursuant to the Bylaws, any vacancy created by any such resignation will automatically decrease the number of directors accordingly, so that such vacancy no longer exists. In such a scenario, we have no current plans to appoint an additional member to the Board.

6

The Participants believe that Cryo-Cell’s management and its Board should, in setting and approving executive compensation, better tie such compensation to Cryo-Cell’s performance, and in that regard, if elected, the Slate will closely examine the level of compensation of Cryo-Cell’s senior management and the best uses of Cryo-Cell’s resources.

If the Slate is elected, the Slate intends to take action on several fronts, including:

1) Seeking to eliminate what the Slate believes to be any and all unnecessary costs expended by Cryo-Cell. For example, footnote 4 of Cryo-Cell’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010 states, “As of November 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred internal use computer software costs of $545,253 and $269,203, respectively, that had not yet been placed into service and therefore; there is no depreciation expense related to those costs.” In the Slate’s opinion, the aggregate amount of these expenditures ( i.e., approximately $814,000) is a material expenditure for software which, as of the date of the financial statements, the Company did not appear to be utilizing.

2) Reducing executive cash compensation, and seeking to more closely align overall executive compensation to Cryo-Cell’s performance.

3) Seeking to increase revenues by redirecting sales and marketing efforts to hospitals and doctors’ offices, which, the Participants believe, are the primary points of sale of Cryo-Cell’s product offering. According to Cryo-Cell’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC, the number of specimens processed by Cryo-Cell declined by 8% in fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007; declined by 8% in fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008; and declined by 9% in fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009. The Slate intends to aggressively address this declining trend.

4) Implementing a stock repurchase program and/or a cash dividend payment to return to Cryo-Cell’s shareholders what the Participants believe to be excess cash which belongs to them. Mr. Portnoy proposed this in a presentation to the board of directors in January 2010, but his proposal was rejected.

5) Exploring opportunities to expand the Company’s product offering to include storage of other types of stems cells and other ancillary services.

6) Seeking to be receptive to input from fellow shareholders, and to work diligently and intelligently to increase the value of all shareholders’ investment in Cryo-Cell.

7

In summary, as owners of approximately 16.2% of Cryo-Cell’s Shares outstanding, the Participants expect the Slate to use its best efforts to guide management to take all actions necessary to make Cryo-Cell a more profitable company and to increase Stockholder value.

According to the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement, Cryo-Cell has entered into employment agreements with certain of the Company’s executive officers. Under each of these agreements, if the Participants are successful in the election of four or more of our Nominees, such that the Nominees who are elected represent a majority of the number of members comprising the Company’s Board, then these elections may be deemed to be a “change in control” under the agreements and may trigger provisions contained in the agreements which could entitle the executives to severance payments under the agreements. According to the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement, these severance payments could total approximately $850,000 to Mercedes Walton, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer; approximately $300,000 to Jill Taymans, the Company’s Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer; and approximately $200,000 to Julie Allickson, the Company’s Vice President of Laboratory Operations and R&D.

Background information about each Nominee is set forth herein and in the Appendices attached hereto. Each Nominee is independent under the independence standards applicable to Cryo-Cell under paragraph (a)(1) of Item 407 of SEC Regulation S-K and is not receiving any compensation from any of the Participants or any of their affiliates in connection with this proxy solicitation.

WE STRONGLY URGE YOU TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION AS DIRECTORS OF DAVID I. PORTNOY, MARK L. PORTNOY, JONATHAN H. WHEELER, M.D., GEORGE GAINES AND HAROLD D. BERGER, BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD IN THE POSTAGE PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED TO YOU WITH THIS PROXY STATEMENT. IF YOU HAVE SIGNED THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD AND NO MARKING IS MADE, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE GIVEN A DIRECTION TO VOTE ALL THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH NOMINEE NAMED ON THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

According to the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement, Cryo-Cell is also soliciting proxies with respect to the ratification of Grant Thornton, LLP as Cryo-Cell’s independent auditor. Please refer to Cryo-Cell’s Proxy for a detailed discussion of this proposal.

THE PARTICIPANTS MAKE NO RECOMMENDATION AS TO THIS PROPOSAL AND INTEND TO ABSTAIN FROM VOTING THEREON. IF YOU HAVE SIGNED THE BLUE PROXY CARD AND NO MARKING IS MADE, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE GIVEN A DIRECTION TO ABSTAIN FROM VOTING ALL THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE BLUE PROXY CARD WITH RESPECT TO THIS PROPOSAL.

Other Proposals

The Participants and their affiliates know of no other business to be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters should properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that the persons named on the enclosed BLUE proxy card will vote the BLUE proxy card on such other matters in accordance with their judgment. The Participants will not use such discretionary authority to vote the proxies for matters that any of the Participants know of a reasonable time before the Annual Meeting.

Voting Procedures

The voting procedures are as set forth below.

Only Stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each Share entitles its holder to one vote on each matter presented at the Annual Meeting. Pursuant to the Bylaws and the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement, the holders of one-third of the Shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present in person or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for all matters to come before the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, assuming there are 11,756,325 Shares outstanding as of the Record Date, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of 3,918,775 Shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for transacting business at the Annual Meeting.

10

Pursuant to the Bylaws and the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement, the election of directors to the Board requires a plurality of the votes cast. Plurality means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the Annual Meeting. Consequently, any Shares not voted usually have no impact in the election of directors.

Pursuant to the Bylaws and the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement, each other matter to be submitted to the Stockholders requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. For purposes of determining the number of votes cast with respect to a particular matter, votes cast “For” and “Against” are included. Abstentions are not counted as votes cast against any matter but will be for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes are also counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, but are not counted or deemed to be present or represented for purposes of determining whether Stockholders have approved that proposal. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding Shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual Meeting, you are urged to complete the enclosed BLUE proxy card and return it in the enclosed self-addressed, prepaid envelope. All valid proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted. If you specify a choice with respect to any item by marking the appropriate box on the BLUE proxy card, the Shares will be voted in accordance with that specification. IF NO SPECIFICATION IS MADE, THE PERSONS NAMED ON THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD WILL VOTE YOUR SHARES FOR THE ELECTION AS DIRECTORS OF DAVID I. PORTNOY, MARK L. PORTNOY, JONATHAN H. WHEELER, M.D., GEORGE GAINES AND HAROLD D. BERGER, BUT WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL INDIVIDUALS TO FILL THE REMAINING AVAILABLE BOARD SEAT AND WILL ALSO ABSTAIN FROM VOTING WITH RESPECT TO PROPOSAL 2.

  1. If your Shares are held in your own name, please mark, date and mail the enclosed BLUE proxy card to our Proxy Solicitor, Phoenix Advisory Partners, LLC, in the postage-paid envelope provided.

  2. If your Shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank nominee or other institution, only it can vote such Shares and only upon receipt of your specific instructions. Accordingly, you should contact the person responsible for your account and give instructions for the enclosed BLUE proxy card to be signed representing your Shares.

  3. If you have already submitted a proxy card to Cryo-Cell for the Annual Meeting, you have every right to change your vote to a vote FOR the election of Our Nominees by marking, signing, dating and returning the enclosed BLUE proxy card for the Annual Meeting, which must be dated after any proxy you may have submitted to Cryo-Cell. ONLY YOUR LATEST DATED PROXY FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING WILL COUNT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. If you vote for, or withhold your vote from, any of Cryo-Cell’s nominees, and you do so on a later-dated proxy card, after voting for Our Nominees, any of these actions will nullify all the votes that you had made for the Participants’ Nominees. Therefore, after submitting this proxy card, do NOT sign or return any other card for any reason.

If you have any questions about giving your proxy or require assistance, please call:
