Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 2, 2021, CryoLife, Inc. (the “Company"), Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Deutsche Bank”), and certain Company subsidiary guarantors entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit and Guarantee Agreement by and among such parties, dated December 1, 2017, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”). The material terms of the Credit Agreement are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 1, 2017, which description is incorporated herein by reference.

Under the Third Amendment, the maturity dates (the “Maturity Dates”) of both the Company’s Term Loan (the “Term Loan”) and its Revolver (the “Revolver”) under the Credit Agreement are each extended by two and one-half years, until June 1, 2027 and June 1, 2025, respectively, subject to earlier springing maturities if the Company’s 4.25% senior Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) issued on June 18, 2020 remain outstanding on April 1, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. With respect to the Term Loan, if the Convertible Notes remain outstanding on April 1, 2025, the Term’s Loan’s Maturity Date will be April 1, 2025, or, if the Convertible Notes’ own maturity date has been extended, the earlier of (x) 91 days prior to the Convertible Notes’ new maturity date and (y) June 1, 2027. In the case of the Revolver, if the Convertible Notes are still outstanding on December 31, 2024, the Revolver’s Maturity Date will be either December 31, 2024 or, if the Convertible Notes’ own maturity date has been extended, the earlier of (x) 182 days prior to the Convertible Notes’ new maturity date and (y) June 1, 2025.

Under the Third Amendment, the following additional terms apply:

(a)The interest rate on LIBOR loans increases 25bps from 3.25% plus LIBOR, to 3.50% plus LIBOR;

(b)The interest rate on Base Rate loans increases 25bps from 2.25% plus LIBOR to 2.50% plus LIBOR;

(c)Certain lenders will be extended 1% call protection for the period six months after the effective date of the Third Amendment.

(d)Customary other terms and conditions related to LIBOR transition, the European Bail-In legislation, and other matters.

The Company paid an amendment fee of $619,000, as well as an arranger fee to Deutsche Bank in the amount of $1,239,000.

The foregoing description of the Third Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Third Amendment.
