Section 1 Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 28, 2010, CryoLife, Inc. (the “Company” or “CryoLife”) and certain of its subsidiaries amended CryoLife’s Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), as lender, letter of credit issuer, and agent for all lenders. The amendment provides that CryoLife may undertake purchases or redemptions of its common stock pursuant to a stock buyback program in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000, subject to certain specified conditions, including that after giving effect to any stock buyback, CryoLife must have at least $20,000,000 of liquidity. For this purpose, liquidity is defined as (i) CryoLife’s remaining availability of credit under the Credit Facility plus (ii) available cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts and security accounts subject to control by GECC.

As of May 28, 2010, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Company has a $189,000 letter of credit from GE under the Credit Facility. The other material terms of the Credit Facility remain unchanged. A description of these terms is contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 27, 2008, which is incorporated by reference herein.
