MIAMI, Aug. 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cryo-Cell International has met Nasdaqs stringent financial, liquidity and corporate governance listing requirements. As a result, Cryo-Cell will be listed on Nasdaq as of Tuesday, August 31st 2021. This is expected to improve the liquidity of Cryo-Cell common stock, broaden its institutional shareholder base and ultimately enhance long-term shareholder value.

Cryo-Cells Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer, David Portnoy, stated: I am pleased to announce Cryo-Cells uplisting to Nasdaq, a major financial milestone that the Company had been considering, as previously stated several months ago. I believe that the significant gap between Cryo-Cells current market valuation and our intrinsic value should narrow as our visibility in the investment community grows, and this is a step in that direction. Cryo-Cell International has transformed in 2021 from being a profitable cord blood bank to a fully integrated, biopharmaceutical company that is expected to provide much needed access to experimental treatments for patients at the upcoming Cryo-Cell Institute for Cellular Therapies.
