Under the terms of the Agreements signed in Fiscal 2017, CRYO invested in and currently holds five percent (5%) of Baoxin shares. Additionally, Mr. Arnone and Mr. Dudzinski were elected to serve as Directors of Baoxin during their visit to Shenzhen, China.

“We were very impressed with the Baoxin, ATGRAFTTM marketing program and work ethic and would like to congratulate Baoxin’s management and marketing staff for a very impressive and effective launch tour,” commented John Arnone, CEO, “the professionalism and interest generated in the ATGRAFT product prior to our arrival contributed greatly to the successful presentation at each hospital. We were also impressed by the organization and scale of the facilities we visited, each facility provides a wide range of cosmetic, aesthetic, and plastic surgical services in a single facility of ten to thirty thousand square meters, these are large facilities located in very large cities with heavy patient flow.”
Anthony Dudzinski, COO commented “The Chinese aesthetic, cosmetic and plastic surgery hospital facilities In China are organized differently than the way these services are delivered in the US. Each hospital facility provides every cosmetic option for a patient from surgical augmentations to cosmetic dentistry. We believe that this organization style is perfectly designed to rapidly expand Baoxin’s success with the ATGRAFTTM products and allow the Chinese to prepare for the future of regenerative and cellular therapies. Further, management believes that China may become one of the largest markets in the world for tissue transfer and regenerative medicine.”
