<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">On May 11, 2020, BioLife Solutions, Inc. (&#8220;we,&#8221; &#8220;us,&#8221; &#8220;our,&#8221; and the &#8220;Company&#8221;) announced that the Company's first quarter 2020 financial results will be released after market close on Thursday, May 14th, 2020, and that the Company will host a conference call and live webcast at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) that afternoon.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">Although the Company will be releasing its first quarter 2020 financial results and hosting a conference call on the date and time above, the Company has determined that it will be unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the &#8220;Quarterly Report&#8221;) as a result of the outbreak in the United States of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. In accordance with the order (the &#8220;Order&#8221;) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2020 in Release No. 34-88465 relating to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company will file its Quarterly Report within 45 calendar days of May 11, 2020 (the due date of the Quarterly Report), though the Company expects to file its Quarterly Report much earlier, on or about May 29, 2020.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">The Company is unable to file the Quarterly Report in a timely manner because the Seattle area, including the location of the Company&#8217;s corporate headquarters and its media production facility and warehouse&nbsp;is currently at an epicenter&nbsp;of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States. The Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members for the past several months, including the temporary closures of its offices and having team members work remotely, and, as a result, the Quarterly Report will not be completed by the filing deadline. Below is a risk factor regarding the coronavirus that the Company&#8217;s stockholders and potential investors in the Company should consider with respect to the quarter ended March 31, 2020.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">&nbsp;<i><b>Our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2020 may be adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 outbreak.</b></i></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">The Seattle area, including the location of our corporate headquarters and our media production facility and warehouse, is currently at an epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. We are currently following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for our team members and visitors.&nbsp; However, the scale and scope of this pandemic is unknown and the duration of the business disruption and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. While we have implemented specific business continuity plans to reduce the potential impact of COVID-19 and believe that we have sufficient inventory to meet previously forecasted demand for the next six to nine months, there is no guarantee that our continuity plan, once in place, will be successful or that our inventory will meet forecasted or actual demand.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">We have already experienced certain disruptions to our business such as temporary closure of our offices and similar disruptions may occur for our customers or suppliers that may materially affect our ability to obtain supplies or other components for our products, produce our products or deliver inventory in a timely manner. This would result in lost sales, additional costs, or penalties, or damage our reputation. Similarly, COVID-19 could impact our customers and/or suppliers as a result of a health epidemic or other outbreak occurring in other locations which could reduce their demand for our products or their ability to deliver needed supplies for the production of our products. The extent to which COVID-19 or any other health epidemic may impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. Accordingly, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.</p>
