CRYO-CELL Signs Letter Of Intent For Expansion Into Israel And The Middle East
Clearwater, FL – July 20, 2001 – (NASDAQ – CCEL) Daniel D. Richard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of CRYO-CELL International, Inc., stated that a
Letter of Intent has been signed for an exclusive umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation license
in Israel and The Middle East. "A non-refundable check of U.S.
$100,000 was received by CRYO-CELL as part of a total U.S. $1,000,000 License Agreement," according
to Mr. Richard.
Under the terms of the final agreement when completed, CRYO-CELL Israel and CRYO-CELL Middle East will
pay CRYO-CELL International, Inc. 18% on all
annual storage fees and 10.5% on all processing fees. All marketing costs to generate clients will be
the responsibility of the licensee in Israel and The Middle
East.
When the agreement is finalized, licensees will have the right to lease the CRYO-CELL computer controlled,
robotically operated, long-term, cellular storage unit
and operate their own state-of-the-art lab serving clients in the above named licensed areas.
CRYO-CELL is America’s fastest growing and largest exclusive private umbilical cord blood stem cell
preservation firm. The Company pioneered affordable cord
blood stem cell storage. Its initial fees are 1/4 to 1/5 the cost of many of its major competitors,
and its $50 annual fee is fixed for specimens already in storage.
This is why approximately 16,000 OB/GYNs and medical caregivers support their patients’ decisions to
preserve their newborns’ U-Cord™ stem cells at CRYO-CELL’s state-of-the-art lab in Clearwater, Florida.
CRYO-CELL is a publicly traded company (NASDAQ symbol…C C E L).

Lamaze Publishing Company To Be Acquired by iVillage, Inc.
CRYO-CELL Exclusive Contract With Lamaze To Remain In Effect
July 14, 1999 - Daniel D. Richard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CRYO-CELL International,
Inc., today announced that CRYO-CELL has been informed that Lamaze Publishing Company will be acquired
by iVillage, a leading online women’s network. CRYO-CELL has
been the exclusive cord blood sponsor of the Lamaze You and Your Baby tutorial
videotape for the past several years which is used by 12,000
childbirth educators with a reported viewing audience of 1.8 million expectant parents. CRYO-CELL has
the exclusive first rights for renewal
each year with Lamaze. At present, people accessing the Lamaze Publishing Web site are linked to the
CRYO-CELL Web site at www.cryo-cell.com.
Mr. Richard stated that CRYO-CELL had recently announced an expansive Internet marketing program.
"We believe that this acquisition
could open the doors with another prominent Internet company to help CRYO-CELL heighten the awareness
of expectant parents as to the
alternative of preserving their newborn’s cord blood stem cells rather than having them discarded at
birth."
CRYO-CELL’s program with Lamaze has been multi-faceted. In addition to the tutorial tape, CRYO-CELL
has run full page ads in each issue
of the Lamaze Parent magazine and a Spanish-translated ad in Lamaze para
Padres magazine.
