Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an
Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
As previously disclosed, BioLife Solutions, Inc. (“we”
or “our”) is a party to a commitment letter dated May 12, 2016 (the “Commitment Letter”) with WAVI
Holding AG (“WAVI”) pursuant to which WAVI agreed to make a series of advances on June 1, 2016, September 1, 2016,
December 1, 2016 and March 1, 2017 (each, an “Advance”). Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, on May 12, 2016, we entered
into a promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of WAVI whereby we agreed to pay WAVI the principal amount of all Advances
under the Note, plus interest. The Note is unsecured, carries an annual interest rate of 10% and matures on June 1, 2017. WAVI
is not obligated to pay any Advance if an event of default (as defined in the Note) has occurred or is occurring. In addition,
if an event of default has occurred, WAVI may, at its option, declare the Note to be immediately due and payable, together with
all unpaid interest, without further notice or demand. The Note also provides that we will not permit any liens on our assets,
subject to certain exceptions.
On December 5, 2016, we borrowed $1,000,000 as an Advance under
the Note, which will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Note described above.
The foregoing descriptions of the Commitment Letter and the
Note are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Commitment Letter and the Note,
which were filed as Exhibit 10.6 and Exhibit 10.8, respectively, to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 16, 2016.
