Effective as of April 17, 2024, BioLife Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or "BioLife"), completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Global Cooling, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Global Cooling”), to GCI Holdings Company, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company {"Buyer") for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 (the "Transaction"), pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated April 17, 2024 by and between the Company and (“Buyer”) (the "Purchase Agreement"),

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and gives effect to the Transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, reflects the Company’s financial position as if the Transaction had occurred on such date. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 reflect the Company’s operating results as if the Transaction had occurred as of January 1, 2021. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, reflect certain adjustments described herein that are incremental to those related to the Transaction discussed above as if they had occurred on January 1, 2023. In our future public filings, beginning in the second quarter of 2024, the historical financial results of Global Cooling will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for all periods.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 29, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared based upon currently available information and management estimates and is subject to the assumptions and adjustments described below and in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s financial position or results of operations had the Transaction occurred as of and for the periods presented. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is provided for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations or financial condition. The Company's actual financial position and results of operations may materially differ from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. Management believes these assumptions and adjustments are reasonable, given the information available at the filing date.

The “Global Cooling Discontinued Operations” column in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information gives effect to the Transaction and has been prepared consistent with the guidance for discontinued operations, ASC 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”), under GAAP. Therefore, the Company did not allocate any general corporate overhead expenses to the discontinued operations. As such, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not reflect what our results of operations would have been on a stand-alone basis and is not necessarily indicative of future results of operations. In addition, our current estimates for discontinued operations are preliminary and actual results could differ from these estimates as the Company finalizes the discontinued operations accounting to be reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as well as the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Global Cooling Discontinued Operations reflect associated assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity and results of operations attributable to Global Cooling that were included in the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 205-20. These amounts exclude general corporate overhead costs which were historically allocated to Global Cooling that do not meet the requirements to be presented in discontinued operations.

(a) The Global Cooling Discontinued Operations column of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively, present the pro forma adjustments to historical financial results directly attributable to the Transaction in accordance with ASC 205-20. Allocated corporate and shared service costs as they relate to the separate presentation of Global Cooling related to the Transaction are also included within the Global Cooling Discontinued Operations column.

(e) Other Separation Adjustments reflect the Company's compensation expenses associated with the reduction in force (RIF) that took place in connection with the Transaction on April 17, 2024, including the acceleration of unvested shares of terminated employees ($2.2 million) and cash compensation for severance costs ($0.3 million). These compensation expenses also include the acceleration of unvested shares for all former employees of the Company that remained with Global Cooling upon the closing of the Transaction ($4.5 million).

our business. We reference Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA frequently in our decision-making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates internal comparisons to the historical periods and external comparisons to competitors. In addition, incentive compensation is primarily based on Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA targets and we base certain of our forward-looking estimates on Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate quantification of planned business activities and enhance subsequent follow-up with comparisons of actual to planned Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA targets.
