BOTHELL, WA— December 24, 2014 —BioLife Solutions, Inc.

Because the expected date for the Annual Meeting represents a change of more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders held on August 6, 2014, the Company has set a new deadline for receipt of stockholder proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of January 15, 2015. Any such proposals must contain certain specified information, including, among other things, information as would be required to be included in a proxy statement under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. All proposals or other notices should be addressed to the Company at 3303 Monte Villa Parkway, Suite 310, Bothell, Washington 98021, Attention: Chief Financial Officer. The proxies that the Company solicits for the 2015 Annual Meeting will confer discretionary authority on the proxy holders to vote on any stockholder proposal presented at that meeting, unless the Company receives notice of such stockholder’s proposal not later than February 6, 2015.
