Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates to the common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Cord Blood America, Inc., a Florida corporation (“CBAI”). The address of the principal executive offices of CBAI is 1857 Helm Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
| |
(a)
|
Cryo Cell International, Inc. (“Cryo-Cell”).
|
| |
(b)
|
Cryo-Cell’s business address is 700 Brooker Creek Boulevard, Suite 1800, Oldsmar, Florida 34677.
|
| |
(c)
|
Cryo-Cell is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in 1989. Cryo-Cell is principally engaged in cellular processing and cryogenic storage, with a current focus on the collection and preservation of umbilical cord blood stem cells for family use.
|
| |
(d)
|
During the last five years, Cryo-Cell has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
|
| |
(e)
|
During the last five years, Cryo-Cell has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding been or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
|
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The amount of funds expended by Cryo-Cell to acquire the 85,484,158 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $200,538. Such funds were provided from Cryo-Cell’s working capital. These Common Stock acquisitions were made between April 3, 2014 and March 18, 2015. None of the shares of Common Stock was acquired pursuant to a margin account, and there is currently no margin.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Cryo-Cell’s purpose in acquiring shares of Common Stock of CBAI is to benefit from any future appreciation in the stock price of CBAI, and potentially to influence the future direction of CBAI.
As Cryo-Cell disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K filed on March 10, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on March 10, 2015, Cryo-Cell filed a lawsuit in the Pinellas County Court, Florida in order to compel CBAI to hold an annual meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing directors. It is Cryo-Cell’s current intention to nominate a slate of directors for election at this annual meeting. If Cryo-Cell were successful in its effort to elect directors to the board of CBAI, it is anticipated that Cryo-Cell would explore various alternatives, including the potential for a merger with CBAI, with Cryo-Cell as the surviving entity.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, Cryo-Cell conducted due diligence on CBAI and was in negotiations at that time with CBAI to engage in a business combination with, or make a capital investment in, CBAI.
Subject to availability at prices deemed favorable, Cryo-Cell may acquire additional shares of Common Stock of CBAI from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Cryo-Cell may also dispose of shares of Common Stock of CBAI from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Cryo-Cell or persons affiliated therewith may also enter into transactions directly with CBAI with respect to the acquisition or disposition of shares, or otherwise.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
The percentages used in this filing are calculated based 890,000,000 outstanding shares of Common Stock, reported as the number of outstanding shares as of January 22, 2015, in CBAI’s definitive proxy materials filed with the SEC on February 23, 2015. All purchases of Common Stock reported herein were made in open-market transactions.
