New company to focus on products and technologies for blood collection, storage and transfusion

LAKE ZURICH, Illinois and HONG KONG, March 8, 2011 - Fenwal Inc. of Lake Zurich, Illinois, and Golden Meditech Holdings
Limited (stock code: 801.HK; 910801.TW) of Hong Kong announced today they
have entered into a definitive agreement to form a joint venture in China
that will sell advanced products and technologies for blood collection,
storage and transfusion.

The joint venture is expected to be formed later this year after
receiving customary commercial and regulatory approvals. The expected name of
the new company will be Fenwal Jingjing Medical Technologies Ltd. (Fenwal
Jingjing). Fenwal will own 51 percent of the new venture and Golden Meditech
will own 49 percent.

Fenwal Jingjing will bring together advanced blood-collection, separation
and storage technologies from both parent companies, and will benefit from
the complementary strengths of Fenwal and Golden Meditech. Fenwal has a long
history of innovation and leadership in blood technologies worldwide. Golden
Meditech has expertise in serving China's unique and fast-growing health-care
sector, with leadership in cord-blood banking and hospital services as well
as medical-device development, manufacturing and distribution.

The joint venture will maintain an existing Fenwal office in Shanghai and
establish a new operating subsidiary in Beijing, from which it will serve
customers throughout China. Initially, Fenwal Jingjing will sell and
distribute two key products: the Fenwal Amicus(R) blood-cell separator, a
system used to collect platelets and other blood components such as stem
cells; and the 3000H plasma exchange system, which removes toxins from the
blood and was developed by a Golden Meditech subsidiary, Beijing Jingjing
Medical Equipment Co. Ltd. The joint venture also will distribute related
supplies and medical accessories to blood banks, cord blood banks and other
medical institutions.

"Fenwal is a global pioneer and leader in advanced blood technologies,"
said Mr. Kam Yuen, Golden Meditech's chairman and chief executive officer.
"Our combined strength and experience will facilitate the advancement of
blood collection and transfusion medicine in China, while offering solutions
that are tailored to the Chinese medical sector to better serve patients.
This agreement is an important milestone and it's a great honor to forge this
joint venture with such an excellent partner."

"Golden Meditech has quickly established a leading position in China for
medical technologies and services," said Mr. Ron K. Labrum, Fenwal president
and chief executive officer. "This is an important collaboration that expands
our product offering, provides new resources for growth and innovation, and
makes us a more attractive partner for other medical companies looking to
enter into or accelerate growth in China."

The two companies had previously announced their intent to form a joint
venture under a framework agreement signed in 2009.
