Item 8.01 Other Events.
BioLife Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) has scheduled its 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) for May 4, 2015.
Because the expected date of the Annual Meeting represents a change of more than 30 days from the anniversary of our 2014 annual meeting of stockholders held on August 6, 2014, we set a new deadline for the receipt of stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for inclusion in our proxy statement for the Annual Meeting. In order to be considered timely, we must receive such proposals at our principal executive offices at 3303 Monte Villa Parkway, Suite 310, Bothell, Washington 98021, Attention: Chief Financial Officer no later than January 15, 2015. The proxies to be solicited by us for our 2015 Annual Meeting will confer discretionary authority on the proxy holders to vote on any stockholder proposal presented at that meeting, unless we receive notice of such stockholder’s proposal not later than February 6, 2015, which is 45 calendar days prior to the date we anticipate mailing the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting.
A copy of the Company’s press release, dated December 24, 2014, is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
